Great stuff! Some very fine guitar work and vocals are smooth

such a cool tune.. wheelwright really giving that last century feel....

still so touched by this song, I come back listening to it sometimes

@seven-churches: I will forward this comment to Michael @wheelwright who made them. He does have such a way with words (and many other things), and I count myself very fortunate to sometimes make a song with him.

Very nice chorus on the vox.  Great composition. :)

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Original by Leonard Cohen (1984)

Hallelujah   (Cover)

This song has had a facelift, I originally wrote it back in 2001, then I rewrote parts of it in 2020 during the pandemic, then I recently touched it up a bit and produced a video for it. It's a little weird but I tried to convey the feeling when you're starting to lose your mind and life becomes harder and harder to deal with, it's a bit Grungy. I had to edit it down because it was like 6 minutes long! If you watch the video when I post it on YouTube, it will all become clear! It's a bit disturbing so listen with an open mind! This is not for everybody, I've had this buried for like over 20 years. This audio is from the video that's why it's so noisy.

“DON’T KNOW WHAT?”

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY MIND?
ON THE VERGE AND BORDERLINE,
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALL WORTH GOING THROUGH?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?             
      
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO SAY?
NOTHING'S WRONG I'M OKAY, 
DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL THIS FUSS IS ABOUT? 
I'LL WORK IT OUT,

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
I'M SEEING THINGS I AIN'T SUPPOSE TO SEE,
WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE,
INTO SOMEONE I DON'T WANT TO BE?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
         
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY HEAD?
SUICIDAL THEY ALL SAID, 
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY BRAIN?
CAN'T STAND THE PAIN,

DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY LIFE?
GETTIN' HIGH MAKES IT ALL RIGHT,       
DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO LIVE OR DIE?
CAN'T STAND THE LIES,
          
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?
I'M SEEING THINGS I AIN'T SUPPOSE TO SEE,
WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE,
INTO SOMEONE I DON'T WANT TO BE?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S COME OVER ME?  
  
DON’T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN MY MIND?
ON THE VERGE AND BORDERLINE,
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ALL WORTH GOING THROUGH?  
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO?

At Altitude

words and music by K. Gennery
image not my own

We got away from the city, hitched a ride on an old rusty bus.
Set up camp by the river side, dug a deep hole and
that's where we lit our fire, sat and watched embers in the night sky.

The summer breeze turned into a hurricane,
the shallow river began to rise.
With a point of a finger and a high pitched yell,
drew my attention to the wishing well of darkness,
think we've found something in the water, something in the water.

Don't don't you scream, don't you move too fast,
cause I know the answer to staying alive it's to slip away easy
and stay real quiet, stay real quiet.

We got away from the city, hitched a ride on an old rusty bus.
It was never mentioned we made our pledge,
to stay real stum about the thing at the rivers edge,
and what we found, something in the water, something in the water.

When I was seventeen
And really so in love
I did not understand
How much of an embarrassment I was to you
But looking back I see
You were really very kind to me
And you had to move on
But at the time I just felt so rejected

But now I'm a grownup
I'll say I don't care
And life's just a train wreck
And life isn't fair
But when I look in the mirror
I'm not sure what I see
Now I'm a grownup

When I was ten and
We were driving back from holiday
And it was dusk and we hit this young deer
After we came off the motorway
And it was hurt real bad
Dad stopped the car got out to do what had to be done
But I could not understand
I thought it was my fault I so wanted it to be OK

[Repeat chorus]

It never really goes away
It never really goes away
