The Last Shuffle

I heard the beautiful instrumental piece called 'Moon' by BoxTox https://soundcloud.com/user-247600493/moon-one and listened while studying his amazing artwork. It is really inspiring and conjured up a complete world within my imagination! Part of a longer story https://soundcloud.com/garddwrporffor/sets/jeremiah-and-the-moon
I asked him if I could make some additions and he kindly agreed! Thank you Jonas! So I wrote this allegorical story and narrate it here. I also added some atmospheric samples : )

Jeremiah and the Moon

Jeremiah was very young to be singing to the moon
and everybody wondered how he'd learnt so much, so soon

It had barely been four seasons since he came into our care
as his mother somehow faded into a deep and dark despair

Veronique spread lightness in the kingdom of the day
but life contrived some bitterness in its classic, cold, ballet

When transpirational powers took her lover from her side
her skin turned pale, her eyes were black, she cried, she cried, she cried.....




Jeremiah came to us then, a thoughtful serious child
to learn of incantations to the spirits of the wild

We explored the deepest meanings of the wondrous world of art
and the existential leanings of the life that is our part





The citizens absolved themselves from any present shame
by nominating leaders to relieve them of the blame

and upon mid summer evening they would gather on the moor
to sing the songs of solstice , welcome all the coming year




Jeremiah knew his role, lifting his eyes to heaven
His infant voice he offered up, in innocent intercession

A weighty price, it may seem to us, for his selfless benediction
Yet his face remained beatific, circumscribing our condition

That the innocent shall pay the price, is the bargain we have made
The population is now content, till next mid summer day

Jeremiah was very young to be singing to the moon
and everybody wondered how he'd learnt so much, so soon....

Jeremiah and the Moon (music by BoxTox with story by Garddwr Porffor)

Another instrumental track from Morry. Using a new Yamaha electric acoustic and some new pedals. Hope all our SC friends are doing well.

The Polish Ambassador feat. Sean Haefeli - Running Down A Feeling

"Wake Up Call" will be one of the next singles of Blue Return. A noisy guitar based hangover morning situation that cries out for coffee or whiskey, but definitely for movement. Wake Up. Change your life. Dance!

Don't you know that I adore you
Don't you know that I'm your biggest fan
When I call you, you hang up
9 times out of 10

Don't you say, you're feeling sorry
Don't you know there is a better plan
Any time you call my name
I don't know who I am

I think it's funny that you do not act your age
I think it's funny that you're hiding in your cave

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call 

Don't you know that I adore you, 
but I know I'm not the perfect man
What we crave for we give up
9 times out of 10

I think it's funny that we do not act your age
I think it's funny that we're hiding in our cave

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call 

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call 

Bullhorn: All day long the night may fall I do not think of you 
Seems I'm only happy for a while
All day long the night may fall I do not think it's true
Seems I'm only happy when you smile

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you

Wake Up Call

WE ALL DIE YOUNG- HILLMAN - BALL

Today's my 51st birthday, so I'm considering this track as birthday present from Ms King. She created this beautiful cover of the Chris Stapleton song, starting with those unmistakable Ms King vocals, and she asked me to add in the lead guitar/fills. Hopefully our collab on this cover sounds as smooth as that very famous whiskey from my home state...

Teamed up with Santi-Caballero (https://soundcloud.com/santi-caballero) to do another take of Jelly Belly Jam with Santi-C on tenor and alto sax.
Nothing like the sound of live saxophones.
Thanks Sam. Brilliant work.

Jelly Belly Jam Take 2 (ft. Santi-Caballero on sax)

Hello Everybody!
This is a song about capitalism and what it does to people. Was in dark mood while writing and I think you can hear that. But the world is not just happiness. Really not.

The Greed

I walk through dark and narrow streets
I am awake the city sleeps
I see the world and feel the cold
That only counts what can be sold

There should be love, there should be hope
But there's just business, the greed for gold
My mind is lost, my brain is weak
I cannot breathe I cannot sleep

So gimmie weed and gimmie wine
The air smells thick I'm feeling fine
My heart is black, my soul is cold
I'm feeling sick, I'm getting old

There should be love, there should be hope
but there's just business, the greed for gold
My mind is lost, my brain is weak
I cannot breathe I cannot sleep

The Greed

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
