不思議の島

Forgiveness Dub

She was a widow South of Memphis way  
In a small town in an outback bay  
She minded her own business  
She asked for no forgiveness  
 
Her husband left his brother’s house  
He left as quiet as a mouse  
One night around midnight  
With the stars shining bright  

Chorus

He was never seen again  
Though he had committed no sin  
He was never seen again  
Seen again
 
Many suspected a dark man in an alley  
Who did not belong in that valley  
Others thought the wife surely was involved  
But the crime was never resolved  
 
There was not proof nor charges pressed  
Though police searched and did their best  
Many said the dark man guilty  
And showed him no pity

Chorus
 
Bridge

Went out West to start a new life  
Lived a life full of worry and strife  
Changed his name and his identity  
Tried to become a nonentity  
  
Thirty years later the body was found  
Laying in some forest ground  
The evidence was irrefutable  
None could argue it was inscrutable  
 
They all knew the wife did the deed  
She hid the body and did it with speed  
But those in the know would not give up  
They were convinced that she was culprit 



Went home and drink some mead  
Forgot about it as she was freed  

Someone many suspected was the culprit  
Was sent to prison because she was it

Never Seen Again (Cooper/Lockhart Collaboration)

The Jacobite Rising

Gunshot blues is the first track I have written and recorded. I recorded the track at HQ Studios in Manchester. I first started writing the song about 7 years ago but then moved onto writing the next song and then the next song and so on. I finally got around to finishing this one last year and taking it to the studio to record. I play the guitars, bass and there is an organ somewhere in the background. I then attempt to sing as well. Drums are a mix of samples put together by the producer. There is some other percussion in there such as tambourine and I don’t know if there is a technical name for it but “shaky egg”? My Dad did those as he came with me to the recording studio when i did this track and I wanted him to be a part of it. See what you think…..

gunshot blues

This song is a tribute to beautiful lives cut short. Back in November 2022 last year three University of Virginia football players were shot and killed by a former teammate as they returned from a trip to see a play in Washington DC. It happens all too often in this country. These three were outstanding young men much loved and mourned by the community.

The amazing Ceci Wynans paid tribute in song at their memorial service:  https://youtu.be/VLA6biZDTx0

The art is a painting by D'Sean Perry, one of the three young men lost. 

This is song is sung from the imagined perspective of their parents.

Brother Gone

I still see a little boy running hiding from me and laughing then
I'd like to think that losing you had some higher reason in the end
but how can anyone know how hard it is to let you go

you were the one who always knew everything is in God's hands
but you're not here and it's so hard to understand

just look at all these people standing here
calling out your name
this would be the happiest day of my life if you were here by my side
instead all I've got is this heartbreak and pain

how was I to know it'd be the last time
that I'd see your shining face next to mine
they can take away the good years that should've been yours to claim
but they'll never take away the good man you became

I'll always see a little boy running hiding away from me
but this time you're not coming back
and I'm not sure how I'm ever gonna live with that

God I need some peace of mind
I hope that it isn't far away

Brother Gone

This is the story of a young man's adventure in the mid 1800's when he sets sail from the UK and places his foot on a distant land where he feels at home.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
We sailed into port on a hot afternoon
I felt we had been back and fore to the moon
Salt in my eyes and salt in my throat
I’ve never been so glad to get off a boat

Verse 2
Rapped up in hope and quite a bit of luck
I looked up at fortune and then a thought struck
I’m a stranger in this land but I feel so at home
From my head to my feet and every bone

Chorus
To realise my every dream I’ve had
Realise the choice of good and bad
I may be a stranger in this distant land
But I feel so at home with my brother Galahad

Middle 8
I feel such an old man at age of twenty two
I’ve seen so much hardship with so much to do
I pull myself up with an invisible hand
This is my home. This is my land

Verse 3
The crowd surged forward in the afternoon sun
A voice shouted walk and please don’t run
And then I saw someone raise a gun 
It chilled the spine, I’m sure, in everyone.

Verse 4
I closed my eyes for a moment or two
The crowd surged forward. They stepped on my shoes
Crushed up together, I felt black and blue
The queue seemed so long but soon I was through.

Earth & Sky - Tea R. Sea collab with Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary)

So this was going to be a nineties throwback petshop boys style piece. I could never get it right, it's such a nihilistic piece. This is a very rough version, two takes on the piano, and a few takes on the vocal.

Let’s go, just you and I, 
while the world still dreams below the starry sky
Down the lonely street into an empty town 
From our mindless sleep on to Hallowed ground

I always thought there would be time
but i watched it slip away before my eyes
Yet we had time for our goodbyes
Looking out, at the edge of the demise

Without you here, what would I be?
Within your arms, you comfort me
You keep me close, 
you set me free!

It doesn’t end with a whimper or a bang, 
We just slowly fade to black from where we came
It doesn’t end in flood or fire,
It all just simply falls to our desire

will there ever be another?

Dear strangers who call me friend, I've been feeling down
Would you listen, would you care, you've been a little blind
Because I've been pretending to be okay this whole time I've been around with 
Last night's mascara stain running down my eye lid

Maybe I'm too good at hiding, too good at smiling
but faking gets tiring at nights when I'm alone
and I don't have a hand to hold
 
Maybe I'm too good at hiding, too good at smiling
but faking gets tiring while you have your two big
set of hearts to keep you warm 

Dear strangers who call me friend, I've been feeling sick
Would you pour me a cup of tea and hand it to me quick 
Because I've been pretending to be okay this whole time I've been around with 
Past regrets and hopeless dreams and yesterday's filth

(chorus)

Dear strangers who call me friend, I've been feeling good finally 
but how'd you even know that I ever cried oh so silently
it's both of our faults for being ghosts and living distantly 
But I remember trying, trying, trying 

(chorus)

Listen on Spotify!!

dear strangers

This piece is a failed song in that the lyrics never passed muster though I liked the ragtime feel of it.   As the years passed, the music got more and more interesting, but the lyrics obstinately refused to come together.   In the end, taking my cue from the immortal Scott Joplin, I just accepted it as an instrumental.
	Ragtime music is at the heart of pop, jazz, rock, soul, hiphop, funk, etc and does periodically make comebacks as musicians delve into their musical roots.   With immaculate timing, I post this song while awareness and appreciation of rag is at a nadir.
	In the next life I'm planning to have better timing of my releases … or should I say: I'll have a better rag-timing of my releases.

This name The third song this year is a PureData effector related song. Also, this name music will not overuse the power of my new private studio. Because, I want to continue skill acquisition and experiment in this name. And the other day, many songs for my Main name New York job until 2020 were completed. I made this for this name in the middle of that work. Also, I made this song while spending with my daughter. First of all, improvised performances by electric guitars and synthesizer that imaged sea and waves were recorded. But, I played the acoustic guitar and outro's WindChimes many times. And, The number of tracks in this song is small. The most important reason for that few sounds is to clearly convey the effect of Lo-Fi processing by PureData. PureData effecter specialized for Lo-Fi produced by me can perform beautiful Lo-Fi processing. That beautiful resonance is different from strings and Pad sounds. Therefore, there is no Strings or Pad sound in this song. Also, in the second half of the song, even the sounds that make up the chords of the main riff are few. There are two reasons for that. One is to make it easier to play this main riff even with a small hand of my daughter. Another reason is as described above. And my wife and my supporters and my team staff already like this song very much. Fans who like this name since the establishment of this name will enjoy this song especially. Christmas season is my Main Name's Live at Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto friends' eateries,etc. Those Live have already been done several times this month. But I do not play this song at that time. But when you talk to me after my Live I will give you a USB. The high quality WAV file of this song is in that USB. And, that USB that also contains new demos and my singing voice used by my main name until 2020. . And those demo songs are going to be used for Live in Mexico, London, Belgium, Japan etc until 2020 (But I will not use this song on those live.). Also, I appreciate giving me a lot of work. It is thanks to all the fans who have been supporting from around 2006, all supporters, Lenovo MTV CO:LAB, FINAL FANTASY, littleBits, and family, etc.. And from here I will explain more important. This song represents "the ocean". "Bear Fruit" represents "the sky". And "Good Morning Happy Kingdom" represents "the land". I would like you to listen to these three songs in a row. It become one song of about 17 minutes. And it comes with more than 200 tracks, many My skills, many my performances, many genres. And, the name of the song that became one is "Music to Our Ears". I hope you will enjoy these.
