Trying to make it my own, Continuum Flood Experience, features some influences from Blues masters such as SRV, Hendrix or Mayer, therefore the name taken from three of their greatest albums.
Guitar: Japan Made Squier Strat from 1991

Thanks again to Amanda for agreeing to sing on this track.  Please listen to her other tracks on @phoebeelena. 

Danny's got the daydream eyes
Looking for a little light

Oh her heart
invades my soul
tonight

Jackie's go the diamond white
Looking just to be alright

Oh your heart
invade my soul
underlined 
like maps of old
still I can't let go

And all the words we never talk
hang like Dylan by the docks
they go 
on and on and on and on.....
in time

Look at me 
I stand in the cheap shoes
Look out at eyes
I see a different point of view

And oh my heart betrays my soul
And oh I can't let go

And all the words we never talk
hang like Dylan by the docks
They go 
on and on and on and on...
in time

and oh
I can't
let go....

A Typical Problem

Map To Paris

One of most famous song of A. C.Jobim has been composed mostly using only one note. As the guitar plays chords you get and illusion of melody. 
ONE NOTE SAMBA
This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new note is the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be

The unavoidable consequence of you
There's so many people
Who can talk and talk, and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale
I know and at the end
I've come to nothing
I mean nothing

So I come back to my first note
As I come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you
Any one who wants the whole show
Re mi fa so la ci do
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know

Samba de uma nota so- One Note Samba , comp. A.C.Jobim

LYRICS
The border I'm facing got walls 20 foot tall
I come too far to be stopped- by something that small
The border I'm crossing is more than a fence- 
the hope that I'm chasing's what this represents

I'm headed North - to see if the promise is real
Risking my Life for a dream - in these killing fields

Now the place that I come from so many get killed every day
And the children an't heard so we live like there's nothing to say
My momma and poppa well they sent me out here - they said
Dying from living beats dying from fear

So I'm headed North - to see if the promise is real
Risking my Life on a dream- in these killing fields

We hear the stories of others who made it all right
Well the coyotes say that it's safer to travel at night
4 days without water's the best you can do fore you die
leave dreams of your future behind- under a refugee sky

So I'm headed North - to see if the promise is real
Risking my Life on a dream- in these killing fields

There's a picture I carry with me and it helps me get by
of a Lady who stands in a harbor 300 foot high
She looks like an Angel - she lights the way
and I only pray that I'll meet her one day

I'm headed North - to see if the promise is real
Risking my Life on a dream- in these killing fields
I'm headed North - to see if the promise is real
Risking my Life for a dream- in these killing fields
Risking my Life for a dream- in these killing fields
Risking our lives on a dream- in these killing fields

Killing Fields

Killing Fields by Wes Hamil

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
