Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?

1.
I looked up to the sky this afternoon, 
The clouds were so ragged 
And there was even a half moon 
Peeking out between the two lime trees, 
I remember, I thought I would write a song about it 
But actually 

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

2.
I wanted to write about something completely different, 
Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?
But I had to postpone that because of the view 
It was so homely and beautiful and it was just not at all 
Time to have indignant and stirred up feelings and thoughts

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?

3.
In the meantime a bird crossed my view of sight
Passing from the right over to the left side
And snapshot-like 
i spotted it in front of the moon
Oh, as i looked up at the sky this afternoon…

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?…        (da capo al fine)

Hmm, wildlife markets... maybe? (ft Jay Kay)

everyone has their time
everyone needs something nice to believe in
everyone needs someone
everyone needs to be loved

well you know it's nothing new
and you're ready to give way
you might just think it through 
before you

when there's not much more to say
when you're seein' only blue
you might just wanna get away
from you

everyone takes the ride
everyone hits the skids sometimes
everyone feels better outside
everyone contains a bright light inside

bright light inside

This is a song about finding that girl who you know is your life partner.  Such a cool feeling if/when it happens.  

LOVE NEVER-ENDING
(c) JunkHeap Mar 19 2022 / Remixed Sep 2023

So what you think when your day is so plain.
Looking out the window has the blasé.
I'm walking home and I'm thinking of you.

Chin on hand looking outside.
Unenthusiatically working through the  day dreams.
Don't you want to get away from the everyday?

C'mon on baby, join me on the street and dance.

I want to meet you at a coffee shop,
and pretend I don't know you.
flirt with you girl, like we first met.

Seasons changing, and reasons waning.
Forget the meaning, the deeper reason.
We keep on aging, our love keeps changing. 
A flower into a bouquet. 

I grab your hand and we go flying high over the city,
over the steeples and chimneys. 
Someone sweeping; 
someone sippin' a coffee on a balcony.

You and I smile at each other, 
with the wind in our ears, 
and we're changing gears.
No ones going to stop us...  
Our love for each other.

Love Never-ending (Remixed/Remastered Apr 2025)

Emily wrote the lyrics and recorded the powerful vocals, including those kickass harmonies. In fact, I loved the "Get Up" section so much, I moved a taste of it to the top of the song to establish it as a hook, along with the tapped guitar. I guarantee that when she originally posted these vocals she was NOT expecting tapped guitars ;) To check out more of Emily's vocals go here...

Well she said to me
Won’t you come and see
The land of the southern cross
We could drive down the coast
It'll be the most
And we’ll never be at a loss

So I packed my bags
And booked a trip
For half way around the world
And took a giant leap of faith
To be with the Gippsland Girl

From Mallacoota
To Waratah Bay
All the way down to the Prom
With Leongatha on the way 
To stop and meet the mum

Through the rolling hills
With the grass so green
The prettiest place I’ve ever seen
Learned to drive on the left 
I must confess
To be with the Gippsland Girl
To be with the Gippsland Girl

Solo 

So I went back home
Just me alone
With nothing left to prove
And it soon became clear
To see my dear
I was going to have to move

So I packed my bags
And booked the trip
For half way around the world
And took a giant leap of faith
To be with the Gippsland Girl

From Mallacoota
To Waratah Bay
All the way down to the Prom
With Leongatha on the way 
To stop and meet the mum 

The Gippsland Girl
The Gippsland Girl

What an honor to be invited to collaborate with ace guitarist, composer, and producer Seagull to create a moving tribute and memorial to the people of Ukraine; those who have been displaced, those who chose to remain, those who have perished in the senseless, needless war, especially the children.  Seagull directed my attention to this very recently release video featuring Pink Floyd and Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox.  It is incredibly moving. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUfVmtAvfdg 
Seagull: Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synth soundscape
Clara: Vocals
David: Acoustic Guitar

When The Light Fades (with Seagull, Clara, and David)

By the way... this Improv wasn't one i did with Jorg, however... it was one created with another dear friend and musical accomplice. ;)

So... here's Part Two of a Jam with Guitarist Tim Elliot back along the way.

Part One can be found @  https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/another-heartfelt-flow_with-tim-elliot  

And the entire Session can be found @  https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/anomon-elliot-live  here on Soundcloud.

May you enJoy.  We certainly did!  

Cheers! 😊

I was on Tim's Upright Grand Piano 
Tim was playing his beloved Fender Telecaster thru his Fender Tube Amp... 
and we recorded the session with 1 Stereo H2N ZOOM Mic.

These Changes

THE HILL OF THE SKULL

The whole world spun away
The sound incessant
Perhaps I'm dying now
Not a thought I find unpleasant

I've hurt some people 
and I loved some too
Life is a steep hill
But we made it through

I knew I had done it wrong
When the earth became the sky
It seemed to last forever
I don't need wings to fly

I took my chances
Didn't hedge my bets
I played the game
I have no regrets

No regrets

No Regrets

No Regrets(Motorcycle musings....)

[May2025] Currently remixing/mastering my previous album FIVE, and next album - Dreaming of Better - content, then back to creating more songs!  

The name JunkHeap came from creating song ideas and leaving them for later, and then picking through the junk heap of ideas to enhance a new song idea.  Explore my discography, find something you like.  

All of my albums on Soundcloud have been reduced to a sampling of a few songs.  The complete albums are available on all streaming sites.

JunkHeap is a solo, alternative rock music project.  Unapologetic, thought-provoking, emotionally raw music for the masses...

It's about you, the listeners.  I hope you get something out of my songs.  The lyrics are in the song name link.
