Douglas Adams challenged the world and asked the question “Why?” in such a witty and perceptive way that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it captured my reason to be in a way no writer has before or since. “The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy” has become an international best seller so it’s therefore a surprise, at least to me, not to see his name mentioned more frequently on regularly published lists of history’s most significant authors.  Whilst it’s no doubt true that I wouldn’t be someone whose opinion you’d seek out as an authority on such things, I do find it hard to believe that a man who created something so hilariously and philosophically original doesn’t get the true recognition he deserves. “Hitch Hiker” was so much more than a work of science fiction.  It was something that taught us the valuable life lesson that there really was no need to have an answer to everything.
Has anyone heard of Douglas? Well, he was certainly the man who let me know I wasn't on my own.

Once again, my grateful thanks to Hans (also a ‘Hitch Hiker’ fan, by the way) for the brilliant arrangement on this song.  But he’s just this guy, you know…

Has anyone heard of Douglas?
Writing life is for the living words
Has anyone heard of Douglas?
Tried not to kill a mocking bird

Has anyone heard of Douglas? 
Madness now was so profound 
Has anyone heard of Douglas?
He was not far from the madding crowd

Dickens, Lee, Lewis and Christie
Tolkien, Dahl, Fleming, and Rushdie
Kawakami, Smith, Whitehead and Orwell
Shakespeare, Austin, Pepper, and Powell

Does anyone remember Douglas? 
Forty two the reason why?
Does anyone remember Douglas?
Who was once the Catcher in the rye

Can anyone remember Douglas?
He had a gold but broken heart
Can anyone remember Douglas?
An Adam Blithe Spirit from the start

Ishiguro, Kipling, Russel, and Lessing
Fitzgerald, Woolf, Cookson, and Gissing 
Bronte, Thackeray, Richardson and Hardy
Winterson, Walker, Tan and Galsworthy 

Has anyone seen my Douglas? 
Taking as many baths time will allow
Has anyone read my Douglas? 
Climbing 39 steps with his towel 

Has anyone seen my Douglas?
Hitching to a galaxy of his own
Has anyone considered Douglas?
Taking us all To a God Unknown

Trollope, Butler, Smith and Beckett 
Hollinghurst, Gibbons, Golding but DON’T PANIC
Stein, Doyle, Tolstoy, and Adams
Checkhov, Vern, Steel, and the one and only Douglas Noël Adams

Vaccine Nation (Give me a shot)

Give me a shot of that!
Give you a shot of what?
Give me a shot of the real stuff
Before my fevers caught!

Have your fingers gone all boogly?
Is there something you forgot?
We all need a shot of the golden juice
Before we're an afterthought.

Do you mean a vaccination?
Can you get one? I cannot!
Where's a doctor when you need one?
There's no need to get distraught.

Just join the queue with me son,
That angel over there,
Will stick a needle in you arm,
So calm down, don't despair

So give me a shot of that!
Give you a shot of what?
Give me a shot of the golden stuff
In my jugglier jackpot!

The art of living
This is a song about escape and freedom to be at one with nature and the elements .
we are living in strange days and my instincts tell me to go find the spirits of the great outdoors and reconnect with nature and find some grounding also i feel the need to create as artists we are currently stranded souls left on a empty beach waiting for everything to open  up and re-connect again .
I hope this song finds you some piece of mind as i make this music out  of love and creative purpose ...for now lets wait  for the dance to happen again ..over and out

Lyrics:
Catch me looking up when I feel down
Heart ice cold music too loud 
Said you was wanting something real now
You know that my heart is yours to steal now
Feet are on the edge
Messing with my head
Need something true instead
And I'll be just fine on my own
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Say no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know
Head in the clouds but it's ice cold
Feet on the ground where the night go
Saying no lies if you say so
Really don't know what you don't know

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
