Really attractive song with beautiful melody and voice!

A soft, gentle, sweet, lovely melody and feel to this track. Even though its a break up song? Beautiful vocals Lily. Excellent.

This track is an exercise for using a set-up formula for laying down instruments and vocals. In order, though not necessarily how I ended up mixing this track...

1. Drums
2. Synths
3. Bass
4. Rhythm Guitar
5. Vocals
6. Lead Guitar
7. Back-up Vocals

Follow the Formula

The Birds Keep Singing.
What did you do this summer? 
I got smashed on Beaujolais. 
You could have seen me suffer.. but you were far away. 
I lie here contemplating in our once perfect home.
Now all the walls need painting & the gardens overgrown.

I´ve got my headphones on in bed but that birds still singing in my head. 

I know I´ve had my chances. I`m overwhelmed with guilt.
While searching for Atlantis I`m drowning in the silt
And now my phones stopped ringing its peaceful finally 
But those bloody birds keep singing & they´re singing just for me.

And when their loved ones fly away, they still keep singing..that bird keeps singing every day.

How can I live today when there`s no tomorrow?
She left me for another man, part of natures masterplan.
How can they sing today when there`s no tomorrow?
Take your songs & disappear. Wake me up when winters here.

You start a conversation with some young handsome man
Its been no consolation to be your back up plan.
The time will pass & surely we`ll meet (though God knows when).
You`re on a different journey and I`m on the beer again.

I`m trying to forget what she did last summer
(She left me for another man, part of natures masterplan)
Why do they have to sing like they did last summer?
Take your songs & disappear
Wake me up when winters here

Take your songs & disappear. Wake me up when winters here.
Part of natures master plan..Karmas screwed me up again.
Ladybird & bumblebee. Piss off home don`t bother me.
While witnessing my final fall the birds keep singing through it all.
Spread you wings & disappear. Wake me up when winters here.

A Banshee is a death-spirit native to Celtic mythology and was regarded either as a type of fairy or a ghost, regardless of origin a Banshee was always seen as an omen of death and her screaming was said to be heard by those destined to die

Lyrics

In the darkest hue
With the curtains drawn,
Suddenly my lights flickered,
And I heard her song,
Hey! You in the dark,
In the darkening hue,
This is the banshee,
I’ve come for you.

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.

I know you’re way too cheap
To hitch a ride,
So I’ve personally come,
But I’m too young I cried
I don’t want to go,
But it was too late,
We were already down the road.

And she picked up those who’d strayed,
And she picked up those who were strong,
And she picked up those who’d blessed us,
And she picked up those who were wrong.
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
And taught them how to scream that song.

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
When the young ones come,
The old’s got to go
If you’ve heard me,
It’s already too late.

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.

And she picked up by those who’d prayed,
And she picked up those who were good,
And she picked up those who’d confessed,
And she picked anyone she could,
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
Taught them how to scream that song.

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go.

Then Banshee of The Darkest Hue

Say Goodbye (Don't Even Try)

and on the morrow .. another beautiful day of eternal nows .... we don't move forwards or backwards .. We are .. The chaos that surrounds us is fleeting and passing ... Impermanent and looking to align ... We are so us ...

Dragonfly

a short but effective little song about winning and the importance of the concept of winning, not!

One night, a night, long ago, the weird guy who lives at the kink in the road was playing with his guitars.

A love song for voice and acoustic guitar.
Lyrics to Waves
Hold me close and fall asleep with me
And float like boats across the big old sea
'Cause I know that I would go anywhere with you
Just say those three words and I'll say them back to you

I know that life can be difficult sometimes
And you know, I'm scares of a storm passing by
So let's build a boat, so we can float, across the waves

We will be safe

And day by day, my heart grows
And if our sail breaks we can always row
'Cause we are free - we can be anything we want to be
So let's grow old together and watch the grass turn green

I know that life can be difficult sometimes
And you know, I'm scares of a storm passing by
So let's build a boat, so we can float, across the waves

We will be safe

And if you look close there is land ahead
And feel the sea air and take a deep breath
And we are told that love can never be found
But here we are now, safe at last, our feet on the ground

I know that life can be difficult sometimes
And you know, I'm scares of a storm passing by
So let's build a boat, let's grow old
Let's build a boat, so we can float across the waves

We will be safe.

Waves

Happy tune inspired by Escher's Encounter. One of only two pieces he produced during the War.
I always like the picture and have a print of it in the studio. It always seemed quite positive.

Encounter

Here I tried to mix Country, Rock, Blues and that's the result. Have fun while listening
