Prune (Get In Line)

The telephone rings again
Who could it be now?
Who could it be this time?

Hey!!
You again!!

Have you finally grown up?
Have you finally given up on dreams?
You've gotta think of your future
Don't look back now
It time to come back to reality!!

Don't listen to yourself now!!
I know what it best for you!!
So Get in Line!!

Prune

This is an old song that was orginally called 'Flowers in Your Head'  begun in the late 70s by my dad and his friend. He completed it in the 90s and recorded it with a local band (we can't fully remember it). Having not come up with much myself lately,  I was inspired again when remembering how much I liked this, so I re-wrote it again with some different words,  and probably ruined it. 
Melody by Rob Benson (Verse, Chorus) and The Cobbled Moth (Middle 8, or whatever its called). Lyrics by The Cobbled Moth, and Hoppo (who wrote the first verse and part of second).

Cooler is slang for jail. The Song of Songs is worth a study. Beno of LCR FM is in there and the Azerbaijan link. 

Phone recording 24.12.24. 

When I'm feeling lonely and my life is dead and I feel so useless that my face is red 
And I know I can't get away 
The cooler's in my head 
The coolers in my head, the cooler's in my head no no no no oh
Well I turn the radio way down low DJ D says not to go
Back to Stockholm yeah I'm alone just like they said 
The coolers in my head, cooler in my head no no no no oh
You're locked up in a teacup
Diagnoses all wrong 
Bad domain, rage in vain
For lost Song of Songs
Even though you fled
The coolers in your head cooler in your head wo oh oh oh
Where we met was Persia but the north turned red, later left turned right
The same families led 
And I know I can't get away the coolers in my head 
The coolers in my head, cooler in my head No no no no oh 
Cooler in my head, Cooler in my head oh oh oh

All done with VST instruments. Guitar solos played on keyboard with the amazing Quilcom Sim-Guitar.
A synth which does not use samples !

Electronic chants

Well this song came out of nowhere in a way. So again it began when putting one of my Grandad's Poems in a song. The way I've been doing them is read the poem and then straight away write a piece of music I feel and maybe include an obvious relationship between instrument and poem. So I picked a windy VST start. Then when I started I wasnt sure if I was going to speak or or sing it. Then it just came out on the first run. It was like the words made the vocal line almost.

In hindsight I've been thinking.. If I wrote these words, would I have sung them like that. I've then started thinking wow... It's my most powerful vocal and it's just about nature and the seasons. in this day and age when we know it's nature we need to align with to save humanity... Maybe this is the stuff we need to sing from our full beings! Simple nature and simply what's real. 

Well if Papa was getting a rock band together! I know what he'd be singing about

Lyrics (Adapted from a poem by my Grandad, Papa, Bill Stapleton)

Autumn in the wind
Autumn in the wind

"Blow nature blow at year's appointed time
Loose leaves remember now's your dying hour
Wild artists show your skill with shades sublime
West wind it's time to manifest your power"~Papa

'Autumn in the Wind'
Summer failed
Blown death recind
Nature, will again win
Winter grins
Life line Spring

"What beauty comes from such confusing gales,
How wonderful the art that nature shows,
Sad thoughts reflect as bloom of summer fails,
Mad compensating loveliness now flows."~Papa

'Autumn in the Wind'
Summer failed
Blown death recind
Nature, will again win
Winter grins
Life line Spring


We can curate a warm
Observe and don't harm.
Until the cold is gone,
We're standing waves to winds of harm
Be spring for good deed
Seasoned human psalm
This blood line shone wind words of charm
From the spirit world
From the garden of eden
Grown some new eARTh arm
Curate the warm
Turn the light on

Picture taken on the 3rd October 2024 at 3am by me in the garden while smoking a doobie in between sessions haha 🎆 Phone on a timer (epic way of getting epic phone shots) looking up and it was probably a 4 second exposure. Galaxy Note 9. I've been waiting for a reason to use it and it just arrived! It's a giant sunflower and the cold is bringing it's demise so....

LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
I was a house of cards in a raging storm
The winds would howl but I called it the norm
Every piece that fell was a part of me
Till I was scattered
Lost in debris

(Chorus)
I’m cutting the ropes that bind me tight
Tearing the weeds that choke my light
I’ll rise again
My fire untamed
Rebuilding my life
Reclaiming my name

(Verse 2)
Shadows would whisper
Tell me their lies
But I see the truth when I close my eyes
I walk a path that’s mine to pave
With every step I’m no one’s slave

(Chorus)
I’m cutting the ropes that bind me tight
Tearing the weeds that choke my light
I’ll rise again
My fire untamed
Rebuilding my life
Reclaiming my name

(Bridge)
No more anchors to drag me down
No more masks in which I drown
Pratyakshapramana guides my way
The essence of me will never stray

(Chorus)
I’m cutting the ropes that bind me tight
Tearing the weeds that choke my light
I’ll rise again
My fire untamed
Rebuilding my life
Reclaiming my name

Cutting Ropes To Rotten Ties

Rebuilding Drawn Lines
