Those That I Despise

Those that I Despise

I know I could have worked this track a lot more. I could have re-done the guitar and got rid of the noises and fluffed notes, but sometimes the imperfections are what makes a track. I'm very imperfect, so this is a honest portrayal of my music. 

Little things help us remember. Mementoes that Marie Kondo even  allows you a box for. And sometimes its the strangest things that make us remember and shed a tear for something lost.


All my favorite chords recycled and played again... and I still have not learned a new picking pattern. And what do you know, another song without a hook or chorus... 

 




The Box

A single drop earring
A cuff link without its twin
A button, And a key
that once unwound sardine tin

A coin from a distant land
An acorn without its cup
A shoelace and a strapless watch
who’s time was long ago up

All these things she keeps hidden, locked in a box
buried in a drawer, deep beneath her socks 
All these little lost things, which she stumbled on then kept
Each now worthless, like memories she fears she’ll forget.

A shiny seashell
A stone, stripped black and grey
A jigsaw piece, A rusting badge
from a happy Birthday

An empty sweet wrapper
An straightened paper clip
A knotted string and a bead
Who’s smooth sparkle now is chipped

Once she lost something special so hoards these things she finds
Hoping now in keeping, to balance the past time.
She’s no longer careless, she has learned to hold tight.
And if she finds love again she’ll risk it this time, she really might

A counter from a board game
A faceless gold locket
A safety pin and a needle 
with green thread still caught in it

There’s a ribbon that once tied letters
And a tear that fell alone
A ring and a shard of a heart 
that’s fragile though now regrown 

Because of the reckless way 
she let her love be lost 
She guards these things safely, 
locked in a box

Track 3 of my new EP 'The Magic Of Christmas'

Christmas Morning

The "Creator of Life" does not burden His children with packages of information, as religions and spiritual schools do, but communicates with them in pictures, almost playfully, and teaches them ...
This is the certain “speaking in new languages”. He always uses new images to circumscribe the same truth to wash away the filth from the soul of man with its power.
This is how understanding is done by the Soul. 💖

upbeat song about love being a fools game 

when love lets you down ( its a fools game )

Here's a new one for our lovely new grandson Hamish, who arrived earlier this month.
He has family in Scotland and Australia waiting to see him - hence the references to Caledonia and Kangaroos!

Lullaby For Hamish

lyrics:
i hope i dont go to sleep
my life is just killin me
what if i died on the floor
cant do that
too scared to mourn
i carry weight on the floor 
and keep my bruises for score
It's been since years I stood straight
I'm always digging a grave

i hope i dont go to sleep
my life is just killin me
what if i died on the floor
cant do that
too scared to mourn
i carry weight on the floor 
and keep my bruises for score
It's been since years I stood straight
I'm always digging a grave
I don't know why I get up
My heart is numb to the touch
Tell them before it's too late
Tell them before it's too late
i dont wanna fade in the grey
every second becomes a pain
Tell them before it's too late
Tell them before it's too late

i hope i dont go to sleep
my life is just killin me
what if i died on the floor
cant do that
too scared to mourn
i carry weight on the floor 
and keep my bruises for score
It's been since years I stood straight
I'm always digging a grave

dissociation (prod. onidtnom)

strings prod laayz

you look away / you step outside
i watch you / wondering are you lost or trying to hide

slow dissolve

lost
