just a short piece......gettin back into it!!

Perfect Moment

This track came to life after putting the brakes on the original, more frantic pace and laying back to produce aout a more drawn out and droned out, feel. Inspired by Blade Runner & the TI-84

Lyrics:
COSINE- 	        	
Last call, that’s all - and it’s over - 	
so fast we never got to one more...
Time will tell and compel any closure -  
but we won’t ever know the reasons...

Why -bit by bit we grind down - 	
another hole we slide down- say we tried
Ride - hanging on for life now - 
all the odds defied now - say we tried

Left out, distraught. over exposure	          
When daylight comes they leave it all
Been down, runaround playing poker           
You let them sell you all the pretty lies

Void Century - Demos

CoSine

A simple, rather loose, jazz ensemble, and a simple message.
It seems as though the social and political turbulence is much like trying to paddle your own canoe - it's going to get rough and it will feel as though hope is lost, but don't stop and don't despair. Hope Floats.

The song was originally intended as a relationship muse, where two people are supposed to be paddling, together, in the same direction, but the boat keeps turning 'round and 'round. It takes courage to realize you can only control your own paddle and how you use it. It can be overwhelming and daunting, at times, and you may be inclined to abandon ship: don't.

Lyrics:

I got my paddle in the water, 
I'm paddling with all I've got
The bow is sinking slowly, 
Glanced off a rock.
And i'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current,
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me I'm goin', goin' ,goin',  down

(instrumental break)

I got a bucket in the water
I'm bailin' but it's not enough, no.
The water's slowly risin'
And I'm runnin' out of luck.
And I'm startin' to sink down into the water
Losin' myself in the current
Goin' down, down, goin' down,
Lord help me, I'm goin', goin' down,
I'm goin' down.

This is a song about the nest around you - your mind; the people close to you;  
the neighbourhood you live in.

NEST
(c) JunkHeap June 04 2021 / Remixed-Remastered Jun 2025

Lights above a corner shop flicker on.
Insects buzz, signalling.
People linger in the evening,
in the summer heat after the sun 
has beat us down. 
Hey the earth has turned away
and gives us shade,
only for a time,
only for a time.
Indifferent to you and I.
So we all rest for another day.

This is what happens everyday.
We spin around in the Milky Way.
Nice to settle in for the duration.
It's not a contest.
Build your nest.
Build your nest. 

Ornate silver cup of time,
reminds me of another day. 
So hard sometimes to stay
here in the present.
Sometimes I feel I'm going insane.

A buzzing menace intrudes
in my thinking, wait for it to go.
Dark clouds split open.
Green lights all the way down the road.
Sleep in late, 
I don't want you to go. 

Collect some straw to build my nest,
imperfection at its best, 
but it's ok, it'll do, 
we're all here together; 
stop and marvel,
on the blue marble.
