If I go I'm going - Gregory Alan Isakov Cover

How It Began

An underdogs tale, Abigail is a metaphor, the voice inside your head, that reminds you how great you are, when you're consumed by self doubt.

recorded at home on my 8 track during isolation.

lyrics

boy when you are down and low
boy don't let those feelings grow
she'll be there and without fail
my Abigail

when your passions overflow
boy don't let those old seeds sow
she'll be there and without fail
my Abigail

She'll be there in the morning
she'll be there in the evening
she'll be there and she's wearing bells
just you wait and see x2

boy if you're feeling weak and slow
like you've lost your ebb and flow
don't let the big kids steal the show

boy when you are down and low
boy don't let those feelings grow
she'll be there and without fail
my Abigail
She'll be there and without fail
my Abigail
my Abigail

This week I wanted to work out a few fragments I had in mind, but after a first recording I felt there is no need to work them out. As a set of six pieces, they are telling the whole story to me. Here is the first one.
The others will follow soon. 
from the album "2 Days & a Year"
Enjoy...

fragments of a journey #1

A kinda upbeat song I wrote, thanks for listening 💜

sense of time (look inside)

Original song written in Ibiza whilst on holiday in the summer of 2013.

Long Walk To San Juan - Original

***This is the second collaboration between Dances with Sheep and ELT Project.  Our last one (It's a Fine Line) was well received so we HAD to go back and mess it up!  I asked ELT if he had anything mellow, and he composed this instrumental masterpiece - originally titled "Mellowville."  Gotta love his work!  ELT wrote and played all the instruments, and inspired me to do the vocals and lyrics.  Go check out ELT's fine work on his cloud at @soundcloud.com/extremeloungeterror.  Hope you enjoy, and as always - free .wav downloads. 

IS IT ANY WONDER?

ELT/DWS (2013)

Is it any wonder that the moon lives in your eyes?
Down the spiral staircase hand in hand and mind in mind
Is it any wonder I can swim inside your charms?
Rings of Saturn call to me and pull me to your arms

Hold me underwater till my lungs fill up with pain
Then hold me under longer so I can’t get out again
Floatin’ down that river with no boat to slow our way
no boat to slow our way to the sea

Is it any wonder that the sun burns in your hair?
Every breath that you exhale is angel precious air
Is it any wonder that your whisper turns the key?
Lava flowing down on me is cooled off in your sea

Hold me underwater till my lungs fill up with pain
Then hold me under longer so I can’t get out again
Floatin’ down that river with no boat to slow our way
no boat to slow our way out to the sea

For My Father (Andy Mckee Cover)

This is the story of Seagrave Tiller Hook and ladder 5211 who served with the Glencove Volunteers fire fighters  in Glencove, Long Island, new York from 1987 until 2011. when she finished service she was  bought by an Irish man called Liam Moore who has a passion for Fire Brigade and has quite a collection. He transported her from America to Ireland and this song tells the true story, or maybe a part of the true of her travels from Glencove and her arrival here in Dublin. she is 56 foot long, 30tonne and has a 100f foot ladder, driven by a V8 engine and it was my pleasure to ride in her for a few hours with Liam.  Liam brings her to charity events and exhibitions to show her off and spend most of his time underneath or on top working on her. here is a youtube link to her arriving in Ireland, we will be putting a  youtube video for the song together in due course . 

Written sung and produced by: Johnny Mc Farlane

Verse 1 
The story starts in  Glen Cove, long Island USA 
Ladder  5211 starts up  for her last day 
All the boys from the volunteers 
Could have filled up the water tanks with tears,  
They didn’t want to see her go away 
But they knew she had done her stint and that she couldn’t stay 
So they gave her a big send off and sent her on here way 
flashing lights and sirens blazing 
they all said their good bye that night
from the Station to the docks there wasn’t one dry eye in sight 

Chorus 
Oh Liam Moore’s fire Brigade is the best you’ve ever seen 
She’s 50 foot from front to back and he keeps her very clean 
She came all the way from Glen Cove City in the USA 
Now she’s parked in Liam Mores driveway and she’s here to stay 
 
                                Verse 2                                     
She was loaded up on a ship bound for Dublin IreLand 
Where Liam moore agus Laim Beag had everything in hand 
They couldn’t  hold in the  excitement 
when the ship docked at Dublin Keys 
And when the dockers took her off the ship they  both got weak at the knees

They drove her home via  pears street past Tara street fire station 
Where all the boys from the fire brigade  gave her a standing ovation 
They drive up O Connell street 
and past the GPO  
With the sirens on and flashing Lights it’s the only way to go . 

Chorus 
                             Verse 3 
All the neighbour on the road  were excited to see her arrive 
Liam knocked down half the house trying to get her in the drive 
And Annies from number 10  
Said Liam lock hard try that again 
He’s never going to get her in the drive 

Liam Moore ahus Liam beag  Took turns on the steering wheel 
And between the shouts and curing the grinding of the steel 
They eventually inched that big yoke in 
To a very small  tight space 
And when they turned the engine off see  the grin on Liam moors face

Chorus and change 
Well Liam loves this engine with all his heart 
and love nor money wouldn’t pull the 2 of them to part 
His heart his soul his everything has gone into this truck
Its cost him quite a lot of Do but he doesn’t give a Fiddlers

When's It Gonna Happen

Elliana's "Mirrors" takes you through the gruelling process of a breakup; the anger, confusion, and realization. Sometimes the best thing to do is sing it out when it feels like you're getting rid of gasoline with a flame.

The fog that comes out of your mouth on a cold day,,,,,

finally took the leap from logic to cubase,,, tired of lack of interest from apple in keeping their software up to date...  what is next, a PC?

It´s that time of year,,, the crossroads time,, do I head on or take a turn,,,,   easy way out is the way ahead,,,,  so I wonder, and wonder,,,   and play around with the black keys,,, F# major,, lovely key

The picture is the midi file,,,  I thought it came out nicely as a graphic piece of "art" :)

This piece is a whole improv, just a mediation.......   don´t have energy to do something organized,,,  cause at the moment live in a crappy country, with crappy government, idiot nation(not everyone but enough),  crappy weather,  but 95% of the time I´m pretty happy with it.....
