Barefoot on the garden grass,
Lemonade in a tall glass,
Time moves slow like a Sunday song,
And the clouds just drift along.

Kites dancing in the distant blue,
A dog barks once, then nothing new,
Buzz of bees in the flower beds,
Sunshine warming sleepy heads.

Cloud watching, no need to speak,
Skies above like poetry meek,
Shapes that shift, float and fade,
Dreams just drifting in the shade.

Cloud watching, in no rush,
UK summer, soft and lush,
Let the world just pass me by,
With nothing but that painted sky.

A plane cuts through with silver thread,
While kids kick balls and paint the shed,
Neighbour’s radio playing tunes,
Classic soul and lazy swoons.

Cuppa cooling on the sill,
Even the breeze has time to chill,
Thoughts meander, light as air,
Nowhere to be, just here, just there.

Cloud watching, no need to speak,
Skies above like poetry meek,
Shapes that shift, float and fade,
Dreams just drifting in the shade.

Cloud watching, in no rush,
UK summer, soft and lush,
Let the world just pass me by,
With nothing but that painted sky.

Might rain tomorrow, who can say?
But we’ve still got this golden day,
Wrapped in calm, the perfect scene,
Between the grey and all the green.

So let me lie here one more hour,
Time’s a seed, and this… the flower.
No plans, no need to try,
Just me and the clouds rolling by.

Cloud Watching

Paris

A devil-may-care folk-rock fever dream from Ellis Wilder.
Sex, sin, and sidewalk confessions — this is what happens when the wild wins.

Fueled by bourbon, busted lips, and the chaos of the Chelsea Hotel, this track howls with neo-70s grit and bisexual bedlam. Three in the bed, ash on the sheets, no regrets till morning. Guitars jangle. Drums thump like a racing heart. And somewhere in the distance, someone’s still looking for their jeans.

No Vacancy at The Chelsea

Tell Me, What Is Love?

Winding Road Blues is a haunting, introspective Delta Blues track that captures the emotional weight of solitude, regret, and resilience. The lyrics follow a lone wanderer trudging down a muddy, winding road under a stormy sky, symbolizing the long and painful journey through life’s hardships. The road itself becomes a metaphor for the choices made, the burdens carried, and the memories that refuse to fade.

The song’s narrator reflects on past mistakes, lost love, and the relentless passage of time. There's a raw honesty in the verses—each line steeped in sorrow, yet tinged with a quiet strength. The recurring imagery of the moon, shadows, and cold wind evokes a sense of isolation, while the bluesy cadence of the lyrics reinforces the emotional depth.

Despite the darkness, the song doesn’t surrender to despair. Instead, it embraces the struggle, suggesting that even the most winding road leads somewhere—perhaps not to redemption, but to understanding. It’s a powerful ode to endurance, crafted in the spirit of classic Delta Blues storytelling.

Lyrics: Winding Road Blues
by MOBest (Martin Oliver Beinersdorf)

\[Intro – Instrumental\]  
\[Slide guitar moans, harmonica sighs, boots tap slow on wooden floorboards\]

---

\[Verse 1\]  
I been ramblin’ down that crooked trail, through thunder, dust, and flame  
Yeah, ramblin’ down that crooked trail, through thunder, dust, and flame  
Every whisper in the wind just moans your lonesome name  

---

\[Chorus\]  
This ol’ road don’t end—it just twists and steals  
Yeah, this ol’ road don’t end—it just twists and steals  
I keep draggin’ my shadow, chasin’ broken wheels  

---

\[Instrumental Break\]  
\[Guitar slides like a snake in heat, harmonica howls like a midnight train\]

---

\[Verse 2\]  
Rain fell heavy, soaked my soul in sin  
Rain fell heavy, soaked my soul in sin  
I searched the stars for mercy, but they won’t let me in  

---

\[Verse 3\]  
That trail keeps turnin’, like a ghost inside my head  
That trail keeps turnin’, like a ghost inside my head  
I thought you'd light the lantern, but you left me cold instead  

---

\[Verse 4\]  
Now the moon’s my preacher, and the night’s my only friend  
Now the moon’s my preacher, and the night’s my only friend  
I gave you all my fire, but you let it reach its end  

---

\[Reprise – Chorus Variation\]  
This ol’ road don’t end—it just fades to rust  
Yeah, this ol’ road don’t end—it just fades to rust  
I keep walkin’ through the ashes of a love I couldn’t trust  

---

\[Outro – Extended Instrumental\]  
\[Slide guitar whispers goodbye, harmonica breathes its last, boots fall silent\]

Winding Road Blues

Be Strong and Fear Not

Breathe

I came of age
In a time of remarkable changes
I was educated
In the fine art of rhythm and blues
I was a rowdy young native son
Lookin for a stairway to heaven
I was wasted and strung out
Didn’t know what anything was all about

But I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin'
Never said no
To the honkytonk queens
And all the free love I’d been given
Singing
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na 
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
All night

I made my bones
At the wheel of a 58 Chevy
With a map of Louisiana
And a toxic blonde by my side
I had a one-way ticket
To a hole in the ground in the heartland
I was fed up, bummed out
Didn’t know what anything was all about

But I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin
Never said no
To the honkytonk queens
And all the free love I’d been given
Singing
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
All night

I fell to earth
In a blaze of pain and confusion
I was a wild-eyed wannabe
Working class hero cliché
Those days are gone
But the changes still play out inside me
I can stand up and can sing out
And it doesn’t really matter what it’s all about

I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin
Never said no
To the honkytonk queens
And all the free love I’d been given
Singing
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
