Set a course & sail Away

it's funny, I've been writing this one song off and on for the last 3 weeks or so, when I finally finished it and sat down to record it, i started playing some chords and this completely different song decided to come out, practically writing itself, so here it is! with rebecca backing the end

hope you like it, and thanks for listening

Dirtwire's RipTide album is out now through Beats Antique Records. Visit riptide.dirtwire.net for more info.

As the cycles of life, weather patterns, and geopolitical shifts whirl about them, Dirtwire, the Bay-Area based electro acoustic duo of David Satori (Beats Antique) and Evan Fraser (Hamsa Lila, Stellamara), contain that energy in their latest release, RipTide, out May 12, 2015 on Beats Antique Records. With tracks highlighting the duo’s unique blend of dirt and wire, the album expertly combines acoustic, electric and electronic elements, which are carefully chosen and mixed together into their musical alchemy with pride. The album follows recent appearances at Coachella and Lucidity festivals, and is followed by a Summer tour along the West Coast, as well as an appearance at Sonic Bloom in Colorado.

INSIDE OUTSIDE

Thought I heard you were in town
I guess you came to see your momma one more time 
Well I’ve been hiding out myself
I just don’t want to see any of those motherfuckers

But I like to see your face
And I’d like to touch your hair
Oh yes I’d like kiss your lips 
But it’s just gonna have to do, just to hear your voice

I know why you left it all behind
And I know why I stayed here
It just doesn’t seem to matter any more
What is mine and what is yours 

But I like to see your face
And I’d like to touch your hair
Oh yes I’d like kiss your lips 
But it’ will do, just to hear your voice…..call me

break…

But I like to see your face
And I’d love to touch your hair
And oh yeah I just want to kiss your lips 
But it’ll do, just to hear your voice…call me

So if you really are in town
And you’ve come to see your momma
Like I said, I’ve been hiding out and don’t want to see any of those S.O.B.’S
no I don’t no I don’t
but call me, at least give me a call….

But I like to see your face
And I’d like to touch your hair
Oh yes I’d love to kiss your lips 
But I’ll do just to hear your voice…

LANDCUT

A song about walking out the door and leaving it all behind

So Long

I’ve been drifting
all over this great land
for so long
I've been trying my best
to bring it together
before I’m dead and gone
fly without care
fly without care
light as a feather
thinner than air
and I’m dreamin’
of life in Eden
my head’s spinning
and my heart’s been bleeding
for so long, so long 
oh baby so long

ferry me back across the seven seas
wherever I have seen her last
spare me a moment on bended knees   
before I fall in dust
ohhh and I’m dreaming
of life in Eden
my head’s spinning
and my heart’s been bleeding  
for so long, so long
so long, so long..

Open the gates of freedom
freedom
is never too far away
open the gates of freedom
freedom
will carry far away
but I’m going down town just
to get kicked around this
place will knock you 
down if you don’t stand
your ground and say
hold on...

open the gates of freedom
freedom
is never too far away
open the gates of freedom
freedom
will carry you far away......

So Long (First original song uploaded to SC - 02/2012)

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
