March 22 Freak Radio Playlist

When you go you remove half of the air 
and when I turn around your  just not there.
From way before six in the morning till late afternoon 
I’ve been thinking of you.
I've been waiting for you
Not what your mother would have wanted for you
Breathe in and breathe out


When you go you remove half of the air 
and when I turn around your  just not there.
From way before six in the morning till late afternoon 
I’ve been thinking of you.
I've been waiting for you
Not what your mother would have wanted for you
Breathe in and breathe out
Breathe in and breathe out

Breathe Out  [Conover/ELT project]

To Be Continued (Jane Version) instrumental

So Scare

So I poured another measure and it doesn't look right
We'll be giggling and dancing 'til the end of night
So close your eyes and down it as the next one pours
Well now I've gone and said it as I am all yours

CHORUS
There's  nothing in this world that could ruin today
[I feel I'm alive]
I have these mad ideas that I whisk you away
[We blossom and thrive]
There's nothing in this world that could ruin a night electric
What makes our minds tick?
There's nothing in this world that could ruin today

And I didn't finish laughing 'til my stomach hurt
The kind of words that aren't the most conventional flirt
So pour another vodka, which one of them is mine?
I think I may have overpoured like I'm inclined to

CHORUS

Another Vodka

I spent years hiding under the table
Half expecting a war
I just escaped although I'm slightly less stable
But I'm alive after all

CHORUS
Give a snigger give a round of applause cuz I'm smiling
Please excuse all my obvious flaws whilst I'm smiling
See me laugh hear me cry with excitement
I'm smiling and striving not to let you down

If there's no picture it didn't happen
Forever searching the truth
I've got my naughty school boy cap on
I think that I'm bulletproof

CHORUS

I spent years hiding under the table
Where I was waiting for you
I stayed there for as long as I was able
But now I've started anew

CHORUS

Bulletproof

How can 20 odd years fly so fast whilst I wait
There's a magnetic force that grasps for my soul mate
Noone else really stood a chance to compete
From day one you accidentally swept me off my feet

CHORUS
I've been waiting to hold you
Waiting for a long time
I've been thinking about you
These funny old thoughts of mine
I've been nothing without you
I can barely read the time
The minutes they pass so fast together
I'm holding this moment close forever
I'm thinking like a romantic valentine

I'm a joker whilst I dance and giggle I'm the fool
I melt a little every time I see you and I drool
When life is tricky every single one of us needs a lift
I kind of think that after all I've been through you're a gift

CHORUS

Funny Old Thoughts

You've probably laughed a little bit about what's written
I surprised myself that it is such a lengthy tome
It talks about a guy that's been forever smitten
That hunted long but sadly he returned alone

CHORUS
And in this song it has flashes of true story
In this song
And in this song that I hope is not too boring
In this song there's a very happy ending

I blushed a little bit but I still kept on writing
Some parts that I'm embarrassed over how I behaved
It was like I had two inner demons there up fighting
But after all I got the final chapter I craved

CHORUS

In This Song

I always sat and starred at the stars shining brightly
And so far away
You may have been light years away but I still dreamt nightly
And through most of the day too
Blurred visions of you
Its true
I'm hitch-hiking through the sky blue

CHORUS
I'm floating to the most exciting planet
I'm putting down my stake in a new world
I never got the insight and never planned it
But I am happy at the way this all occurred

We've always talked the same warped and crazy language
And that makes me smile
Now I'm in your land I'm grasping hard at the anchorage
So its been a while for both
But nothings changed
Hear my oath
I crave crave for this life I've exchanged

CHORUS

A New World

I've been rush-in' (as fools do...) to get this DEMOnstration of what lies in my ice-cold heart out of my confused mind, and out into the world. 

Crappy Valentine's Day y'all!

I'm Not In Love (First Site Mix)

"Winter in the City of Vancouver": On All Streaming Platforms. Here's a landing page: https://linktr.ee/michaelfirthsellers

This is a song about mature resignation in the face of human indifference and natural elements you can do nothing about.

My thanks to Chris Curtis for his harmonies, and to Sergio Aguilar of 423 Studios, for the supremely judged production and instrumental ability he brings to every song we have recorded!

"I would say just the weather in Vancouver in the winter can be kind of unforgiving."
- Brandon Jay McLaren

"I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most (city dwellers), and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life."
- Ben Elliot

Lyrics
Winter in the city of Vancouver
It’s brutal if you don’t have some steady pay
And any working hours you’ve gained
Don’t help to ease the pain
Of living on the edge day after day

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Hail and sleet are flaying me alive
Cos the ragged clothes I wear
Let in more than I can bear
It’s an endless daily struggle to survive

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
I’m seeking work to get me through to summer
If the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Coyotes snapping at my heels as I walk through Stanley Park
I sure don’t care to find out if their bite is worse than their bark!
My coffee’s cold in my two-year-old disposable Starbucks cup
I fear my hopes are so far down there’s no way to pull them up!

Winter in the city of Vancouver
Christmas snow, the first in many years
As I tramp through dirty slush
My face a cold, red flush
I brush away my bitter icy tears

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
If I knock upon your door, give me whatever chore
And if the job’s well done, press some dollars in my hand

Going south from Lions Gate to Granville Island
Going east from English Bay to Coquitlam
Boss man says "Just a day, then on your way, son"
But at least I get some dollars in my hand

Winter in the city of Vancouver
A city that I love and love to hate
I’m looking for some heat,
And something good to eat
Nothing more, for now at any rate

LYRICS:

At any moment on any day
A little friction can wipe us all away
In times of trouble, in times of strife
Spare no expense 'cause the price is human life
They come to conquer like they were God's own hand
And set the world ablaze to seize a little land

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

At any moment on any day
The clock strikes midnight and all goes down in flames
To meet ambition with vile atrocity
And piss on notions of all diplomacy
And all hell rains down, the wolf is at your door
Hope no one sees what you're compensating for

And everything going down is nothing but disaster
And transgressions of humanity
And everything taking shape is nothing short of wrongful
And crimes that echo in the pages of history

You want it, you got it
You have upset the balance
You want it, you got it
The world is in a bind
It's all just self defense
We've heard that lie before
A brain dead juggernaut
You're not the only one
You want it, you got it
You got the whole world watching
You want it, you got it
Looks like you've gone insane
Affront to everyone
To your own people too
One minute to midnight
It's all because of you

Minute To Midnight

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ 

We're back with scene 3

Our favorite Crazy Lady is ready to figure it all out. She's spilling all of her negative thoughts for the Dr to hear. The voices in her head say it's a bad idea. Should she have kept her feelings inside. What would you do? Concerned family have a role is this one too. Hmmm???? The plot thinkens.

Please Dr.

A caring message from a concerned human

Now that our leaders are working on world war 3
I'd like to share

Something I think I see

This isn't a protest
Or a call to arms

Just some friendly words 
For the righteous
The marginalized
The straight and queer

And I know you're not asking

I see now
The only thing that moves us
People

Is fear
And threat

If a bomb drops in some faraway land
Does it make a sound?

So here we go

When you step out at night
Under the cold starlight

Look out!
Look out!

Achtung!
Fais attention!
Look out! Look out!

You don't know what's gonna fall out of the sky
Might be a satellite 
It might be a nuclear missile
It might be drone fire
It might just be some smog in the air
Or Covid 19
Be careful when you breath!

Xiao Xing!
Xiao
Xing!
Look out! Look out!

(look out)

Your children are sleeping quietly
But you know better
You know what might be coming

(look out) (look out)

The whole world's awake now
Our eyes are open now

(Take care everyone)
(Peace)

"The threat" "La Menace"

Instrumental Jazzy tune 

In 2022, when the whole world should be concerned about 
the state of the planet, the simple madness of a man makes us fall 
into horror and destruction.

En 2022, alors que le monde entier devrait se préoccuper de l'état 
de la planète, la simple folie d'un homme nous fait basculer 
dans l'horreur et la destruction.

A spoiled king
In my single days
Was I wrong to think
I’d be king always?
I’m of two minds

For I’d placed a crown
On my own head
Then I laid it down
But should I have fled
I’m of two minds

One being bothered by a nagging thought
If he hadn’t dallied he’d have not been caught
The other counting blessings and there are a lot
I’m of two minds

I jumped off the fence
Agreed to a trial
Did I see confidence
In your smile?
I’m of two minds

They say if you really want to get things done
Two heads are always better than one
Have they said other things quite that dumb?
I’m of two minds

and two hearts
where one ends the other starts
Like a snake eats its tail
Like a jailer in jail

So you’re in me
As much as I’m in you
Did we both agree
to say I do?
I’m of two minds

At this point it really doesn’t matter much
My brain went out the window at your touch
I’m lucky now that I have got a spare
Cuz you’ve made me well aware…
The fabric of our lives now intertwines
We’re of two minds

Of Two Minds

One never knows what new sounds they could encounter while making a discovery of anything in space...
Just when you get yourself conditioned to accepting the same old familiar thing, that's when the unknown opposite to every typically known former discovery enters into view with scattered reoccurring signs along the way as a shock to the system...In this story. The question is how many times does it take to get crew members on a spaceship to concede to the least number of revelational similarities, when you can only hear something but not see it?
