God on fire 
(c) Demetri Vlass All Rights Reserved
The wind is blowing
And the trees are swaying
I smell the scent of a god on fire
My mind is climbing the seven steps
To take a look at the funeral pyre
To the east fire wind water
To the west the unholy daughter
I walk the line and I won’t stop smiling
To go so far with that god on fire 
My throat is burning it could be more
To think of dying is an open door
The gates are open for all to see
The flame is burning for you and me
Look to the east don’t cry for more
God have mercy what the hell for
The gates are open for all to see
The flame is burning for you and me
Look to the east don’t cry for more
God have mercy what the hell for

The wind is blowing
And the trees are swaying
I smell the scent of a god on fire

Rollercoaster

Pick me up
Pull me over
Got my luck from a four-leaf clover
Had you on my mind
Lost you somehow now I’m moving blind
Had you now your’re gone
Count on me to get everything wrong

Chorus
I’m on a rollercoaster baby
Got my foot on the gas getting ready to crash
I’m on a rollercoaster baby
Had my last drink
Last pill
And thought of your love on my mind

Hold me down
Roll the thunder
Had some love until it pulled me under
Had you in my head
Moved around it till you killed it dead
Had you
Now you’re gone
Count on me to get everything wrong
Yeah Yeah

Chorus


I want you back yeah

Chorus


Rollercoaster (my first)

Sometimes I try and write from a third person perspective.
Its kinda like looking into a window on someones world[or my own]and reporting it back into a song.
Sometimes stuff just happens in life and you ask why.?
things don't always turn out the way you thought,but you gotta roll with it,
this is not a love song{so john lydon once wrote]its more of a song about addiction to someone or something and its hard just to walk away its also about moving on and finding freedom.
to live it is to know it....jim manser reporting back to you

Where We Part - When Lovers Cross

This track features  Demetri Vlass (headcharge777)on Lead Guitar, Backing Guitars, Vocals, Backing Vocals as well as lyrical composition. Screach simply provided the base Rhythm Guitar & Drum Track, thumped some bass and the collaboration took it's own direction. This track is a personal favorite and we hope you find it inspiring as well! 

Darkness & Light
 
When will it all end
why must it all go
can we all be one
will you give your love
will you give your love

floating on this ball
A magical mystery
when will it all go
will I be around

Darkness and light
follow me
Darkness and light
you will see
Darkness and light
is all there will be
Darkness and light
is you and me
Darkness and light
follow me
Darkness and light
is all there will be

Adam Coppock - Drums
Demetri Vlass - Lead Guitar, Vocals, Backing Guitar, Backing Vocals
Michael Walker - Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar

Darkness & Light - FT: headcharge777 on Lead Guitars and Vocals

Skeleton Girl

Laying down in the cemetery
My feet were tired and my head was weary
The stars were shining like Tahitian pearls
That's when I met my Skeleton Girl

I watch her dance in the ossuary
Loveliest bones in the cemetery
Wish I could show her all the world
But it just ain't that easy for a Skeleton Girl 

Skeleton Girl
Skeleton Girl
Ain't got no place in the living world
Poor lonely bones
She just want to live
She tries to crawl up underneath my skin

I took her home to meet my family
I thought that they might react badly
My momma's happy that I ain't lonesome
My daddy told me: 
"Go get them bones, son!"

Sometimes we need to find each other..
and make cosmic connections..
Spread some positive karma.and hopefully good people and times
and places will find you..
Gone for a summer of dub vibe on this little number,because as soon as the sun shines we all may feel more happy.
Raise a glass to the summer and your next great adventure.

What In The Dub - Just Happened ??????

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
