Song 59 Music & Lyrics by Michael Walker

I was badly burned sad & lonely
I was feeling so badly blue
But then I am not your ordinary
No tears fall from these eyes
But lately all I can do is think about you baby
A steady ship for which I could report to
But then I am not no ordinary sailor
I have got to have myself some drugs
I have got to find myself a savior
I cannot shoot you in the name of any God
And If I were to be the President
I would gather you up with my flock of ferries
and lead you right on into this Promised Land
And the do goods, and the do nothings, and the dirt’s and the neat’s 
and the homeless boys and girls living off the streets
Trying to scrape around and find themselves some love 
some form of a family to call themselves
And in the meantime
 the mean wells don’t do nothing at all 
and the church bells ringing all night long
And well the smack and cigarettes 
are the foods for the soul 
and the songs about this day

Je vous présente  avec  grand plaisir et fierté cette deuxième pièce sur laquelle Chris Lane a eu la gentillesse de jouer.https://soundcloud.com/krum41
 Je lui ai proposé ce titre car j’ai pensé tout de suite que ce style ouvert et  improvisé correspondait parfaitement à son jeu de guitare très singulier, unique. Sa guitare apporte  la dimension des landes sauvages, des déserts et des grands espaces.. 
Guitares solo, chorus : Chris Lane
Rythm guitare : me
instruments virtuels : me
I present you with great pleasure and pride that second piece on which Chris Lane was kind of playing. I offered him this title because I thought immediately that this open and improvisational style was perfect for his very unique guitar playing unique. His guitar brings the size of the wild moors, deserts and the great outdoors ..

il n'y a pas de chemins sur la lande (avec Chris Lane)

A song inspired by the old woodcuts that show Witches dancing with a horned figure from the times of the Witch hunts and the ‘Hammer of the Witches‘, the Inquisition (nobody ever expected them, apparently), Images that can still cut to the heart of some who see them, particularly those who still believe in a Dennis Whealtey-esque occult fraternity.

It’s all rubbish of course – propaganda to feed paranoia and build superstition for a power-hungry church. A topic I tried to address with my song Green and Grey.

But the Sabbat for modern Witches and Wiccans is a real thing. So I wanted to write a song that held within it that ecstasy of the union with Nature, the wildness of Dionysus, the drums beneath the moon, the roaring fire, the chanting, dancing – If you’ve been there, you know.

But you can keep your Devil, I’ll dance with Pan!!

VERSE 1

The day is done I turn my gaze towards the setting sun,

I taste the incense on the air, I hear the sound of drums,

The chill of the evening descends.

All day long I’ve been working hard for the man,

But now’s the time to ditch this skin and be who I am,

Some people just don’t understand,

You can keep your Devil I’ll dance with Pan!

Chorus:

For I will fly free,

On the wings of ecstasy,

And I will dance free,

To the music of Faerie.

Imbolc, Beltane,

Lughnasadh and Samhain,

Equinox and Solstice,

On hilltops in forests tonight,

To the Sabbat I will ride.

VERSE 2

I will dance with the Fearie Queen beneath the silver moon,

I will taste the honey mead and chant the Witch’s Rune,

My heart with the pulse of the land.

Witness now the union of chalice and of blade,

Of life and death and life again the union is made,

By power of land and of sea,

By power of will, so mote it be!

VERSE 3

The night is done the sun will rise on a brand new day,

And I along with millions go out to earn our pay,

People see just what they want to see.

But I have danced with the Faerie Queen, shared the mead of the sun.

I have worn the Oaken Crown before the Horned One,

And I’ll know it’s time to return,

When I see those Pagan fires burn!

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
