New Spheres Duo (Cheryl Pyle & Axel Weiss)

01 - Roy Levi - Chill Son

Rebelled
Why should I complain – Who’s gonna listen anyway – Help me through this pain – she said she would – but she’s gone everyday……
Battle off these demons - each a different kind of way – pour another whiskey – it seems to help me along the way
Where should I begin – when I tell you my life story – do I fabricate – and embellish on false glory’s there’s no friggen way – I’m gonna tell it straight – and just deal with the repercussions – admissions of my truths will set me free – but they’re sure to set me back…….
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled
So many faces slanted different ways, as if I’m a fool – My Christ he gave me clarity and I see right through – Humanity is cruel.. – Imagine for a second that you could never lie – that would change so many things – but would probably erase your life! 
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled!
Got a million friends – but not one who I can turn to –  slice of my darkness they’ll never see – I’ll keep him chained – with empty eyes – I set forth back on this journey – and though my load is huge – what I got left I’ll still give to you
Chorus
Cause up till now – you’ve really gotten nowhere – A subtle change – and your chaos could be quelled – And you could fix it all – if you only could remember – just who it was – and the reason you Rebelled!

SPREAD YOUR WINGS

I’ll give you a minute
Then maybe an hour
But I don’t like the look of you
Or your ivory tower
Are you a candidate?
You don’t smell of the street
The pavement don’t suit you
Trips up your feet

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

There’s rain in the forecast
There’s time in your eyes
Flags in the furlough
Waived by the wise
The church door was open
Granite and still
The boys went in
And the pigeon came out

I'll give you a minute
It won't hurt for long, oh no
I'll give you a minute

Spread your wings
If you don’t like the darkness
Spread your wings
And you’re afraid of the lights
You’re not safe in your nest
Take the plunge
It won’t hurt for long
Spread your wings

I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
I’ll give you a minute
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you
The pavement don’t suit you

Spread Your Wings

Like the Rabbit Passing Alice

Some folks just never settle down and time is of the essence!  A kind of nod to JJ Cale's Mr. Breeze.

Lyrics;
Every day a river will find the sea
You know you've found a forest just by seeing the trees
And people everywhere just wanna be free
I'm always somewhere else, nobody's gonna find me

Cause I've always been a rambler with a strong urge to fly
I'll never settle down under that big blue sky
I love ya, gotta go,  time to say goodbye
Like the rabbit passing Alice no time to tell you why

You've called the wrong number if I answer the phone
If you're sending me a letter it's addressee unknown
My door is always open but I'm never at home
It's good to be with someone, but I'm better alone

Look from where I'm standing, it's a big world out there
And I'm bound to find my dreams  but I just don't know where
And time's in short supply  no one has got much to spare
But I'm happy for the little time that you and I shared

I've always been a rambler with a strong urge to fly
I'll never settle down under that big blue sky
I love ya, gotta go,  time to say goodbye
Like the rabbit passing Alice no time to tell you why

And every day the river will find the sea
Not hard to find a forest when you're under the trees
And people everywhere just wanna be free
I'm always somewhere else is why you'll never find me

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
