Curse By Any Name

A massive thankyou to an amazing drummer, Qvarsebo, https://soundcloud.com/qvarsebo-1,who, once again, has 'made' this song.
And along comes this fantastic trumpet player, Reap The Whirlwind, https://soundcloud.com/cottage-1, who sublimely adds a whole new dimension to the song. Thank you, thank you!
This is grown-up music!!

Put on your hat and let's go drinking,
Not much time for all that thinking,
Now you're with me.
Put on your shoes and let's go dancing,
Aint gonna get no second-chancing,
With me.

You were such a lone boy,
Always on your own, boy,
Never many friends in the world.
Am I just too late? Am I just too late?

Put on your gloves and let's go racing,
You got a lot of life for chasing,
Now you're with me.
Step on the gas and let's get moving,
Aint gonna find much gentle soothing,
With me.

You were such a lone boy,
Always on your own, boy,
Never many friends in the world.
Am I just too late? Am I just too late?

Why should I approach you?
Am I International Rescue?
This stupid old head of mine!
It's the strangest of re-unions,
And it's causing me confusion,
You're a statue, frozen in time.
Am I just too late? Am I just too late?

Put On Your Hat - featuring Reap​The​ Whirlwind and Qvarsebo (click title)

just a track about the thoughts that go through your head when it is 3 am again,and you are holding vigil in a quiet house while the rest of the world sleeps..
This was inspired by Bob Myers who left us some time ago but turned me onto "new age" music many years ago.

Vigil

Over the last couple of years I had forgotten the joy of simply plugging in a guitar, cranking it up to 11 and letting go. So the other night over a few scotches (well, maybe more than a few) I grabbed a couple of slightly out of tune guitars, a broken harmonica, quickly scribbled down some booze inspired lyrics and hit record. The end result was a chaotic free form jam and ode to the bar called ‘Black Eyed and Broken’.

To be fair I pinched the slide riff from another song of mine that is still a work in progress, but the rest of the backing was completely spontaneous - as mentioned I didn’t even bother to tune the guitars or bass. The whole thing is just a bit of fun and I think it captures a really raggedy, drunken and threatening mood. In particular, I like when the bass and harmonica first hit. It has a bit of an apocalyptic feel to it.

In the end it is all just an excuse to play loud. I can hear bits of Led Zep, AC/DC, The Stones, The Stooges and T.Rex in it. I also think there is a pretty strong Australian pub rock feel to this one – i.e. Rose Tattoo or The Angels (if you like classic Bon Scott era AC/DC then you’ll love these two bands. Both legends in Australia).

Anyway, hope you enjoy. Back to some more straight forward song writing on the next post.

LYRCIS….

I’m black eyed and broken
I’m drunk and swollen
I’m black eyed and broken
Now it’s all on me…
Now it’s all on me…

I’m black eyed and broken
After the bottle has spoken
I’m really black eyed and broken
You can put it on me…
You can put it on me…

I’m black eyed and broken
When the bar is open
I’m black eyed and broken
Put your hate on me…
Put your hate on me…

Hold Up My Head

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
