Where Is Home

Jukebx - Sun Lovin'

“I was inspired by indie pop for this song, which is about moving on, getting back to yourself and reflecting on how far you have come. Life is full of moments and when you are in them those moments might not be so great in hindsight or those terrible moments might be the best thing that ever happened; a complete turn in your life, the making of you. I took inspiration from “Down” by Blink-182 for the chorus. This came together quickly, one of those exciting projects that flows. Thank you for listening.” 

did that even happen?

Have you forgotten about me? 
I kept my heart running while my soul was off its feet and down on its knees
I was praying for rain to set me free 
So set me free from this unease
It’s something that I just can’t believe 

Did that even happen? 
Does the time gone by make sense of it all or is your hell still a fire? 

Do you remember those times?
We felt love deep inside then the waves came crashing
Did that even happen?

A fire, a rebel and a ghost making hell a reality, now history  
A feature in a magazine, a home grown heart burning machine 
Remember to never forget me 

Was it a tall story? 
Fictional history? 
A thing of make believe? 
Was I so naive? 
Was it pain or love?
Did that really happen to me?

02 Wishing Well

A song I wrote back in early 2021 and probably one of the first after learning the guitar after a 20 year hiatus from any music, live or recording.
The wife brought me a lovely fender acoustic after I said on holiday in Santo Tomas that  I really wished I had learnt to play the guitar so the following Christmas the present arrived.
Another poignant moment was when my younger lad set up a soundcloud account in lockdown for my band This Elegant Chaos and loaded the albums and singles we had done. It had been such a long time since I had listened to the tracks it lite a fire in me to do it again. 
My family house was surrounded with guitars as my dad was a guitarist and my older brother who still is and still plays live & records with his original band The Bleeding Hearts. I just wanted to sing not showing any interest in learning which really annoys me now as it would have gave me a better understanding of the writing process. Instead of singing my vocal melodies to my band members expecting them to find the cords to match . 
This song explains the moment I reconnected with my past and was now my future again. 
I sent the original sketch from four years ago to Mike and he loved it.
I was such a novice to home recording back then that I always wanted to hear a well produced version.
I didn’t really give Mike any musical guidance on this just left it in his capable hands. 
I think it’s good to be brave at times and let the people who know what they are doing to just get on with it. 
Well another top mark from Magic Mike Fox as always.
So thank  you Mike for believing in the ideas and making them happen
With such passion and skill.
This Sound Society gives you…..

V1
Reconnect me I forgot I still cared 
This feels strange after 20 years 
Lost my love for this and I was full of doubt
There were moments when I was missing this
Santo Tomàs was sent to reclaim me
And brought me back to where I was lost
 
Chorus 
So let’s reconnect 
To the days when we were at our best
So let’s reconnect 
When we felt so invincible 
We’re our diminishing youth was incredible 
So let’s reconnect 

V2
Now when I listen I listen with pride
A little biased but I think thats my right
It stands up and stands the test of time
My sons voices sound  just  like mine 
I hope a little of me came out in both of you 
We laughed cried and became inseparable 

Middle 8
Ive now got old and feel less pressure 
Different things brings new found pleasure
Do I wanna be young like Peter Pan forever
I’m not old really just unclaimed treasure 

Chorus to finish

A song we recorded back in April 2024 about how we talk about all the things that our wrong but it doesn’t make a difference.
Great Britain is broken at the moment and seriously needs fixing but know one seems to know how.
A new government as appeared to make it worse yet told us we can sort this.
The poorest are getting poorer and the richest are getting richer. The world will never be equal but when a country of our wealth is struggling we know something is wrong. 
Working families can’t pay the basics bills or put food on the table because prices have gone through the roof.
We pump chemical factory waste directly into our rivers because someone’s getting an handout somewhere along the line. Meanwhile the wildlife dies and can’t recover. 
Our incredible NHS system is on its knees & so under funded with record waiting lists for every treatment.
Wars in other countries that have a massive effect on our Country. 
We talk about all these things bringing them in with talking about the weather, football scores & VAR. 
It would just be nice to talk about the good things that make life worth living instead of doom & gloom.

V1.

Chorus 
Cause it doesn’t make a difference 
What I’ve got to say 
Whenever was the world equal 
For  every day people x2

Whenever was the world equal for the everyday people (repeat to end)

To The Everyday People ~Conscience Of Kings

Fragile

“Taking inspiration from a footnote of an Oliver Sacks book, lyrically this explores the phenomenon of musical hallucinations. As I was piecing the lyrics together I quickly realised that in this “a brain storm” is a metaphor for a misunderstood, long term condition with varying degrees of ever changing intensity; Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome definitely inspired my lyric writing for this song (kindly follow the link to the HEDS society in my bio to learn more. Thank you). Leaning into the nostalgic live basement recording sounds of 1990’s alternative music there is definitely a Wheatus, Green Day, Third Eye Blind sound and it gets a little The Cure in places on this one. I also wanted the scrapbook sounds of “Save Rock and Roll” era Fall Out Boy. 

I revisited this as I wanted to cut a new vocal and when doing so I decided to explore a new mix - see what you think of this new version. Thank you.”

I think I might be losing my mind
It’s definitely broken this time
Anxiety and fatigue, what’s happening to me? 
I’m losing my sleep
Brainstorming hallucination

This is my brainstorm
I’m feeling the downfall 
It’s taking, it wants it all 
(You give me the shakes) 
It pushes, it pulls me 
It knocks me then builds me 
Brainstorm hallucinations
I’m hearing ghosts and not seeing faces 
I’m hearing sounds in mysterious places 
My brainstorm 

I feel it call 
I’m hearing noises and there’s no one there at all
It’s so complicated, so bio-excavated 
Maybe I levitated to hell and back 
Brainstorm hallucination 

This is my brainstorm 
This is my brain

Another song from my band .
This song was used along with Window On The Universe as a promo single for the release of the album Magino Line.
The promo was called World v The Universe on Quicksilver  Records and I recently seen it being sold on a record shop site. I don’t even have a copy myself of the promo.
It was originally released in 1999.  The song refers to Richard Ashcroft who wouldn’t get up to receive an award for his work and the presenter Eddie Izzard said well that’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance. And I thought what a pretentious twat. 
A brief history about the band.
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.
This Elegant Chaos give you ……

V1
Some may recall a certain fall
And the up-and-coming, who stand so tall 
There was a man who would not walk 
But he made some sense in all his mumble talk 
There’s many that were ignored which left a view to be adored The toilet jokes came thick and fast. They’re not funny they don’t make me laugh

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

V2
Where do we go Where have we been 
When  we are travelling into this newfound scene
Time is demanding when you’re being stifled 
Another bullet in your rack of rifles 
It only took an hour of my time 
To see how much we shine 
The lightning strikes a direct shot 
Doesn’t take long and you are forgot 

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

Middle8
When a genius babes in a bath and horses and all we can do is ride different courses
When you’re so far up your own fucking arse
And what you create is a total farce

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 
I wanna back tonight 
Wanna back it back tonight

LYRIC

Where once I found delight
Reached out and held it tight
I nod in passing
Nothing here is lasting
Let cherry blossoms fall

They will return next spring
That’s the important thing
Falling from each limb
And though I’m not there to see them
They will still be seen
And though I’m not there to join you
Please raise a cup or two for me

Where once the world spun round
But we could hold our ground
Now we go whirling
Tumbling and twirling
No railing we can grasp 
We hear others calling
Fumbling and falling
Every breath a gasp
But we can’t stop for someone else 
We have to save ourselves

Where once time trickled by
Now it goes streaming/speeding by
And we’re swept away….




where once...

A Spaniard, an Italian and a German met and formed a band. They are Kinda Joke and sound like Phil Collins joining Coldplay to jam with Dave Grohl.
