IT WAS SOMETHING YOU SAID
IT WAS THE THINGS WE DID
THAT PUSHED THE TRAIN OFF THE RAILS
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN
NEVER TO BE BACK AGAIN

NOW SEPARATE WE SAIL
I BET IT’S HARD TO TELL
WHICH ONE TO BLAME 
FOR WHAT HAPPENED HERE 
STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED HERE

YOU COULD THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL         
BUT IT’S NOT LONG BEFORE WE FALL           
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

IS YOUR BOAT STILL FLOATING
CAUSE MINE IS SINKING

I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T  LONG BEFORE I STALLED               
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
I THOUGHT I WAS THE KING OF THE WORLD
THE FORESEER OF IT ALL
BUT IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE I STALLED            
CAUSE THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS  
THE HEART KNOWS WHAT IT WANTS
IT WANTS IT ALL

We stayed up very late then took the flight from Kyoto 
The blossom on the wind the artificial sky reminded us of something

Oh did you hear that a storm is coming 
Oh did you hear that we were making plans

That girl said she was you when you were in that noise art band
 But it was hard to tell if she was really real or just another ghost

The shadows on the wall 
The clinical blue light 
The trouble's hidden in my heart

I'm watching from above it's like we're in a TV show
 We're standing on a bridge the mountain in the distance like a Hokusai

Our utmost thanks to Doug Roossien for allowing us to fly free on this beautiful song he wrote, and allowing us to change some of the lyrics and nuances to fit in with our style..

Lyrics: 

Silent…tears are falling  
Raining teardrops… that call your name  
Darlin’… you stopped listening  
And I can’t reach you… or see you again  
And as the teardrops start to fall,  
Each one a hammer on the floor 
I hope that someday you will hear 
 A single silent tear

Days turn nights.. So all alone  
What kind of fool would turn and go?  
And I keep staring at the phone  
(Darling I'm sitting here at home...)
Wishing you’d call and say hello  
(Oh babe I miss you so..)
But as the teardrops start to fall, 
Their silence broken on the floor  
I hope that someday you will hear  
A single… silent tear

Oh Maybe you’ll forgive me  
Somehow not forget me…  Baby please…
(Can you forgive me too.. Oh baby)
And Oh Maybe you’ll remember
The way we felt together 
And come back to me..
… come back to me.. 
(come back to me...)

Oh Silent…tears are falling  
Wishing you and I could start again  
But Baby… time has taken over    
(My sweet baby)(My sweet Angel)
And I know we’ll never be the same 
(Baby please don't say it's so..)
 'Cause As the teardrops start to fall, 
Their silence broken on the floor 
 I hope that someday you will hear  
A single silent tear 
Oh I hope that someday you will hear  …
A single… silent tear 

Baby please.. can you hear each tear call your name..
(Baby please... oh baby i can hear each tear)
Baby please.. This is the one day I will hear..
A single silent tear..

Single Silent Tear

I have posted this song some years ago, but I decided to do some new recordings on bass, synths and piano. 
Some latin vibes inspired by Carlos Santana.
Lets go:)

Vortex Remastered

One minute things are going fine
But life can turn on a dime
Every day you roll the dice
And sometimes you find yourself on thin ice

You go for a routine medical check
And they find something you didn’t expect
You’ve been eating healthy food you take a daily jog
Now you’re wondering if you’ll outlive your dog

You’ve been working so hard for all these years
 but what do you have to show for it
All these things you bought but what do you have to show for it

Some people spend their lives accumulating wealth
But what’s the point of money if you don’t have your health

It’s nice to set some long term goals and think about your future days
But sometimes you need to take a step back and make sure you’re on the right highway

You’re hanging by a thread that you used to think was a thick rope
Your road was very flat but now you’re climbing a steep slope

You get up in the morning and you go to work 
You get up in the morning an you go to work
You get up in the morning and you go to work
Five days a week

You’ve been working so hard for all these years
but what do you have to show for it
All these things you bought but what do you have to show for it


You wake up every morning  go  about your day
Sometimes you wonder if it’s goanna be okay
You try to take it one day at a time
Some days are bad others are fine

Incidental finding, life threw you a curve
You're driving down the highway and you're trying not to swerve.
Incidental finding, life threw  you a curve
You're driving down the highway and you're trying not to swerve.

Incidental Finding

Je n'arrive à rien en ce moment, à ne finaliser aucun de mes derniers morceaux. J'ai juste réussi à remixer une de mes chansons de 2023 
PAROLES FRANCAISES
Au bout de ton âge
Qu’auras-tu appris ?
Tenter le voyage
 Ou rester ici ?

Au bout du voyage
Au bout de la vie
Quel autre rivage
 Vers quel paradis ?

Au bout de ton âge
 Qu’auras-tu appris ? 
A tous ces visages
 Auxquels tu souris

Sais-tu quel message
Tu leur confies ?
Amis de passage
 Amours de ma vie

Chien de bas-étage
Faussant compagnie
 Sur ton porte-bagages
T’emportes ta vie
En haut du branchage
 L’oiseau fait son nid

Moitié chat sauvage
 Moitié queue de souris
Ça tourne à l’orage
Chantons sous la pluie

Le livre d’images
 Est bientôt fini
L’ whisky est hors d’âge
 Et mon cœur aussi
Au bout de mon âge
Qu’aurai-je donc appris ?

A Greenwich Village
Au cœur de Paris

S’il faut un message
Je te le confie
Ouvre toutes les cages
 Pour vivre ta vie
Laisse passer l’orage
Attends l’éclaircie

Moitié chat sauvage
 Moitié queue de souris
 Au bout de mon âge
Qu’aurai-je donc appris ?

___________________________________________________
At the end of my age
What will you have learned?
Try the trip
 Or stay here?

At the end of the journey
At the end of the night
What other shore
 To which paradise?

At the end of your age
 What will you have learned? 
To all these faces
 At which you smile

Do you know what message
Do you entrust them with them?
Friends passing through
 Loves of my life

Low-floor dog
Fausting company
 Half wildcat
 Half mousetail

On your luggage rack
You take your life
At the top of the branch
 The bird makes its nest

It's turning into a storm
Singing in the Rain
The picture book
 Is soon over

Whisky is out of age
 And my heart too
At the end of my age
 So what would I have learned?  

In Greenwich Village
In the heart of Paris
Open all cages
 To live your life

Au Bout De Mon Ãge

Still Alive

A laboratory with an open bar and floating altar. Come on in! 

Here are various solo and collaborative projects - songs, soundscapes, live looped solo guitar improvisations. 

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
