you're a truly great and very original musical storyteller, Jeff - this is a very dense and complex piece with the right amount of improvised freedom. the stars just come out wonderfully shining here at noon :)

I feel the spirit of Arvo Part here. Am I right? :-)

Well, this is affecting. You've gone and done it again.

It's a slow catastrophe of emtions.  Fair enough.

Metafor

This song came about because I thought I'd try my hand at making my very own real-instrument percussion track, just for fun and to see if Mark could flesh it out... I think he may have had a go, bless him, but, even if my tapping and shaking didn't make the cut, we got this reggae-style thing as the end result.

I'm just trying you must see
To fit the pattern
Your routines
I'm just trying as I ever do
To fall into step
Inside out you oh oh oh

Watching stitches
Shades of green
Making time move rhythmically
It's been two hours 
An inch apiece
And thank god good love
Coming back to me

This is the roar of the roller coaster
Living breathing
I'd rather be riding than us flat-lining
This is the heady
Fall arrested
Sooner or later 
You come to the rescue
You're the rescue

Make with mind 
As with my hands 
The coffee scene
The waterfront
Walks along while dreaming of
Comfort days with you

Every Conversation in June

The Rollercoaster

Buy me if you love me

The Rescue

February 2023 DIAMC prompt was to write a song inspired by a name, which was to be included within the title. 

Yesterday I sat down, wrote and recorded, this song about - and for - my beautiful almost, almost always friend. We met when I was 9 and she was 10. 


Gwendoline

Northern lights watched late, from garage roof
Swung on swings with Walkmans, in our youth
Oh my darlin’, times were simpler then

There’ve been darker days, tears amongst laughter
Can’t stay kids for ever, and after
Oh my darlin’, growing up can hurt bad
 
I just hope that I always had your back

Wish I still took time and wrote more letters
To have and hold, with love from sender
Cos my darlin’, you know I’m really glad

All  these years you’ve been there for me too
The  lovely  things you say,  and that you do
Oh my darlin’, you’re the friend I’ve almost, almost, always had

Through all the good and bad
The happy and the sad
Lucky to have Gwendoline

If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you fall
If you need me darlin’, you just call
You know I’ll catch you if you’re falling

Gwendoline - Demo

with the congregation on acoustic bass
Recorded at fredrick street studios and bowling alley

Them’s the breaks 

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life intends
Would hope seem sweeter 
Would fate feel fair
To rob Peter
With no Paul to care

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life demands 
It ain’t money 
And class is lame
What it is
You get to name

Them’s the breaks
The horse you saddle
Like a snake without a rattle
Dropping down from the sky
Like an anvil
You’re up yer life
Without a paddle 

Take what we want 
Not what we need
Steal a glacier for just a drink
Sell them rope when they sink
Screw the others
We’re taught to think

them's the breaks w/ the congregation

unfortunately I am free of any profound knowledge at the keys ! but I can not leave it :-D .... free improvisation in one go ... I hope the layered sounds make the piece interesting enough ! ... I myself feel it's nice to dream away ... The pretty illustration is by Juanita Mulder, pixabay
.......... a little joke on the side: I used completely fearless all black and white keys ...!
