The Story of the Biscuit Roller

The Blues are loaded with culinary references to sex - this is a form of signifying, which is the use of innuendo and doubletalk that is understood by members of one’s community. Countless blues lyrics use metaphor and innuendo to allow the singer to brag about physical attributes and sexual prowess, and state all kinds of desires, without uttering a single profane or off-color word. That’s good signifying. 

it takes bit of imagination for a delicate flaky biscuit dripping with butter and honey to become a metaphor for a delectable woman, and her skillful lover who is called a biscuit roller.

A biscuit roller can be male or female, though, as evidenced by Robert Johnson’s lyric from “If I Had Possession Over Judgment Day”:

“I rolled and I tumbled and I cried the whole night long
Boy I woke up this morning, my biscuit roller gone”

This song marks a big milestone for me in my growth as a person. I hope you can find something in it that helps you.

Not Like This

I never really cared for the finished product i posted last week, it never really sounded right. I loved the Roy Bittan style piano, and that took a long time to learn and record, but it didn't work so i scrapped it for the fender organ that i played on the fly. And I transposed it up a third, and reworked the words and completely remixed it.  I think it works a lot better now.. 

I don’t want to be the one you call up on the telephone
To see if I could come around ‘cause you don’t wanna be alone
Don’t get me wrong I want to spend some time with you
Don’t get me wrong but do you feel the same for me I feel for you
I don’t want to be the one that’s always looking in your eyes
Then you turn lights down low
And suddenly I’m paralyzed
It makes my heart start to stutter my knees they shake
and my words they flutter
I don’t want to be the one that ends up feeling like a fool, 
I don’t want to be the one when love has faded and we’re through
Love’s so overrated, it makes your life so complicated

Off The Ground

''One Day'' - original song written, performed, recorded and published on                     8th December 2019 by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski)

ONE DAY

Will you remember me
or will I breeze though your mind like a plain old daily grind
never found in the night when you dream about times 
you would like to invite to your life to live free?

I will hold on for as long as I can
I will hold with every tissue of my hand
I will watch your eyes sleep till the dawn
until new day is born
that's how you came one day

All these years I've been running blind
All this years I've been wasting time
but with you in my life 
I have found winding road
leading straight to the heart of delight 
(the light)
