back to listen to this classic...amazing track

You have such a unique style that makes you stand out. 

so ethereal, sounds amazing. great production too.

god how do you do it, the production is just sterling, vocals perfection, just utterly impressive 

Outstanding construction of a song- perfection 👌

think this was the first track of yours I heard, such a great contrast, I often find myself happily singing the pink lemonade bit round the house. I forget its a song about feeling blue😁

Sigh. Another beauty of a song. I love all the little unusual nuances in yer stuff.

No, no : this is much better than most ASMR artists !!!

I have been playing with this song for a while..  I decided to use 'found sounds' for a lot of the backing music - the photo is from a roadtrip I was lucky enough to take through Europe 3 years ago and the car sounds are variously from a holiday roaming the streets of Wellington NZ.  :-)

***************************************************************

I was dreaming of an ocean, but the only waves I heard
were the slapping of the rubber, as the cars flew down the road,
And the streetlights make a sunset, concrete’s like a castle
Kinda think I’ve been a-roving, I’ve been on the road too long

Let auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind,
I think of you an awful lot, I dream of you sometimes,
I’m driving endless highways, where no-one knows my name
Red flowers growing on the side of the road and the rain falls, just the same

I was dreaming of an ocean, bells that rang and no-one came
Cars keep rolling down that highway in the blind eternal rain,
And the echo is an emptiness I never thought to see,
Guess I’ve thrown away the everything that meant a thing to me

There’s colour in the desert now, a place I once called home,
It’s a greening time, it’s a summer wine, no need to stand alone,
And the sun’s falling down so wild and sweet, I pick it up and run and run
I never knew, I never knew that life could be so fine

The fruit hangs heavy on the vine, the blossom’s on the bean,
some stay the same while others change, some winds that set you free,
I rode the winds , I climbed the cliffs, the mountains to the sea,
And now I stand where I began, hello, it’s only me

Let auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
I think of you an awful lot, it helps to pass the time,
I’m driving endless highways, where no-one knows my name
red flowers growing on the side of the road and the rain falls just the same

LYRICS:
From the northlands up in the mountains
To the southlands across the seas
You might ask me what I know
About the places I have seen 

And I might say that I’m not sure 
There’s always something new out there to learn
Grey skies follow blue and blue skies follow grey
Who can say when the weather will turn

But it’s funny…………. how the wind knows
Funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows
It’s so funny…………. how the wind knows
So funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows

Could go west to the setting sun
Could go east to the break of day 
And you might ask me what I know
About the places I'll see along the way

And I might say that I’m not sure 
There’s always something new out there to learn
Grey skies follow blue and blue skies follow grey
Who can say when the weather will turn

But it’s funny…………. how the wind knows
Funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows
It’s so funny…………. how the wind knows
So funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows

How The Wind Knows

This is another medley of off the cuff, rough and raw live recordings strung together from the past with an added vocal harmony track. They’re all cover songs done with acoustic guitar and pretty much unadulterated, for better or worse. This one is a bit shorter than my last entry of a similar effort, figuring it might hold listeners interest a little better if not too strung out. Nothing fancy, background noise and lo-fi but a bit of live fun to share as if you were just stopping by the house for a beer...hope you like barrel-aged barleywines and double IPAs! 🍻

LYRICS:

last time i saw her she was barefoot,
smoking grass,
alone in the park.

summer has spoken in engaged tones,
honey bee drones and the hum of traffic.

why does it always end the same?
why does it have to be this way?

pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
she wants to escape to her own world.

i hear her voice in the sea's breath,
whispering 'goodbyes' from the dark depths
of the high tide;
in the gulls' cries;
in the blue blue eyes and the clink of ice...

why does it always end the same?
why does it have to be this way?

pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
pink lemonade for a blue girl
she wants to remain in her own world.

la-la-lahhh [ad lib]
