04’

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Not Quite The Blues

Hope you are well....
Isolated... caged.... but feeling closer to nature then ever,  watching the birds fly free and listening to their song.

『おれは罪人』
作詞・作曲 / Papyrusたくや

信じたければ信じればいいし
信じたくなければ信じなければいい

新興宗教に蝕まれて
優しくなった親父がいて
何とかっていう通販サイトに騙されて
とても幸せそうなおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんがいるんだよ

お母さんはいつも不機嫌そうな顔をしていた
だけど時々優しいからさ
憎み切れなくて

おれには兄弟がいる
必ず夢を叶えるんだって言って体に刻み込んだ君を
今でも応援してるよ

小さい頃におれが家族から受けたことが虐待だというのなら
安心してね

もう罪なんてどこにもないよ
あなたを裁ける人なんていない
心にひとつだけあるのはおれの罪の意識
それだけ

そう おれは罪人なんだ
そう おれは罪人なんだ

仕事だって続かなければ人付き合いも苦手で
愛想笑いもできないおれだ

15の頃に高校をやめて
それから何回窓ガラスを割って喧嘩をした？
人に迷惑を何度かけた？

この罪をどこまで持ってけばいいんだろう
罪悪感があれば恐い夢を出してしまうっていうけれど
おれはこれから何度恐ろしい夢を見ればいいの？

何度恐ろしい夢を

世間とは個人 夢とは鏡
塗り替えられた世界を今日も生きる
死ぬか生きるか それはおれが決める事
空き缶集めてでも生きて行くさ

生きて行くさ
生きて…

こうやっていつもおれは人のせい
投げやりになってしまうんだ
ゴミ拾いの前に何かできるはず

もう少し
もう少し
もう少し

おれは罪人

Ruah (ft The Celturian)

Stars and stripes, you've lost me forever?
We've gone too far, can't find our way home
Open your eyes and fight for their future
Don't give up, our love must survive

America, you've got us running through the streets into the night
America, you're light is dimming
We're all fighting for our lives
People sick and dying
Broke, can't pay the rent
They hide their hate behind false religion
They're burning down the house we built

Hands up
Rise up
All love
Can't stop
Dont let this moment fade away

All Love- Can't Stop

A song for our times based on Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down.
Here we are, in Wales, in another lockdown! The best cure for the blues is, of course, loud guitars :)

We're In Lockdown

Well, we're in lockdown
We can't leave the town
I could take you up to Llandrindnod Wells
But we're all locked down

I'm standing on my ground
Because we're all homebound
Gotta wear a mask, avoid the beer cask
And we're in lockdown
Can't have my friends around

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've all gone to ground
And I must lock down

Well, I'll wash my hands
And I can't see no bands
We all miss the pub and the restaurant grub
We can't leave the town
Because we're all homebound
And I must lock down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I've just gone to ground
And I am locked down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I hate lockdown

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've gone to ground
In our Welsh compound
