Lyrics:
there's no doubt about where home is now.
following the lines on your wrist as you seek out your bliss - but for now
it's about how you feel, how you think, how you tried to keep it buried deep
but you're out of time, you're out of luck.
you tried all you could but no one's giving a fuck.

skip your first stone and count the ripples
what changes have cascaded with all the waves you created.
skip your first stone and count the ripples
what changes have cascaded from all the wounds you created.

there's no doubt, you're here now. (you are where you're left without)
without consideration to the proper attire for such a dire situation now.
the stones are heavier now.
you keep on throwing them out, hoping it'll sorten things out
but it's not that easy you see, and what's been obvious to me
the stones you're digging out are memories you're trying to drown.

skip your first stone and count the ripples. 
what changes have cascaded with all the waves you've created?
skip your first stone and count the ripples.
what changes have cascaded from all the wounds you've created?

skip your first stone, your drowning stone.
(bad ass solo by Mr. Wyatt Wilson)

skip your first stone and count the ripples. 
what changes have cascaded with all the waves you've created?
skip your first stone and count the ripples. 
what changes have cascaded from all the wounds you've created?

skip your last stone, you're drowning stones.

LYRICS
I AM A PUNK

I am a punk
I don't know who Taylor Swift is
I made a best friend a sandwich and I filled it with my jizz
I am a punk
I spat my spit into a crowd
I do all I'm not allowed and I sing it out aloud
I am a punk

I dyed my my hair all green
I don't know where I've been and my breath's obscene
I am a punk
I have holes in both my socks
Scars from chicken pox
Yet my girlfriend is a fox
I am a punk

I am a punk
With a ring right through my nose
And I'll show my middle finger in a striking pose
I am punk
I'll listen to what I wanna
This life is no fun and I think I'll do a runner
I am a punk

I'm stinking with a sweat
I've shunned all I've met
And I've got a rabid pet
I am a punk
My middle names' Ramone
I have a 90's mobile phone and I weigh just 9 stone
I am a punk

My best mate is called Sid
He cut his finger trying to open up a bottle of cider lid
I am a punk
I've got an STD
A loving family who think the world of me
I am a punk

I'm just punking around doing nothing
But these eyes are warm and loving for the right person

I am a punk
I saw what your neighbour did
So I stole the box of drugs that he so lovingly hid
I am a punk
I just sit against the wall
And shout abuse at all whilst I listen to The Fall
I am a punk

77 still seems fresh
My shirt is made of mesh
I've got a tattoo on my flesh
I am a punk
I squeezed a spot of yellow pus
I ride home on the double decker bus
And there's a punk in each of us
I am a punk

I'm just punking around doing nothing
But these eyes are warm and loving

I Am A Punk (ft Marc Freak)

I constructed this track and I asked Annie if she felt inspired to put any words to it. she said "yes, defo, if her dream fairies come through with them." And they did ... seems they couldn't wait... which was great ... except that it was at four o'clock this morning!

Here's what came through:

WORDS:

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown.
But over the years, I realised .... it was real, it was my loved ones singing me home.

When the day is dark, and the night is long...in the still, small hours I hear their song.
The road less travelled can be full of stones, but their song makes the journey seem not so long.
When I meet the devil, at the crossing, and I have to choose right, from wrong,
I follow their attunement, and soon find, that where once I was weak, I am strong

Now the sun is glowing red, and the shadows growing longer, their song is sounding out... even louder
Rising to a crescendo, as every sacrifice is cheered, every last injury and pain is honoured,
Pulling me up the steep, craggy pathway of that last mountain I have to climb,
Until I’m released from the valley of the shadow of death, ruled by Old Father Time.

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown.
But over the years ...I've seen that it’s real, and that it’s my loved ones singing me home.

Grab ahold of Your lies

Typical Sean music with a touch of medieval flavor.  Thanks for giving it a listen!

A Medieval Tale

"Red Velvet" is a powerful instrumental rock track that was born during a tour through Venice, Nokomis, Osprey, and Englewood, FL. This piece is not just a song; it's a journey, a memory of those sun-soaked days spent with my friend Bill Turner, who brought this track to life. Bill recorded, engineered, produced, mixed, and mastered "Red Velvet," ensuring that every note captures the essence of our time together. This song holds a special place in my heart, embodying the spirit and emotion of those unforgettable moments.

Red Velvet (ft. Bill Turner)

**The Sun Paints Red** by Laxá & Heima Kvartett is a sweeping post-rock journey that captures the stark beauty of the Icelandic landscape. Jussi Siglarson's guitar lines shimmer like distant northern lights, weaving through a dense soundscape where Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses like an underground river and Matthias Helguson's drums crash like waves on a stormy shore.

The strings, led by Lisbeth Heima and her ensemble—Sif Árnadóttir, Natasha Guðmundsdóttir, and Ída Sigurðardóttir—move between fragile whispers and powerful, cinematic peaks. Mike Taylor's keyboards add depth, filling the space between with layers that feel both expansive and grounded. The track is a journey through light and shadow, where each instrument paints a vivid scene in deep reds and golds, reflecting the raw, untamed spirit of Iceland.

The Sun Paints Red by Laxá [Post Rock Music from Iceland]

Let's see the sun upon the hill. 
We'll find here Bill.
He is a nice guy. A little shy. 
You can trust him.

As a youngster, he was a soldier. 
He hates guns since.
I saw him once running away 
As I was hunting deers.  

The snow will fall in two hours. 
We need to rush.
I don't want to be frozen up.
Let's climb the spruce.

The view from there is wonderful.
It's always green.
I hope it will last. Though I don't know 
The plans of the King.

Bill is right here at the top of the tree. 
He drinks some gin.
From time to time, he yells strangely.
It is his thing.

The earth eats up the sun slowly. 
We remain still.
The highway roars and the smokes soar.
It's no more green.

The snow will fall in two hours. 
We need to rush.
I don't want to be frozen up.
Let’s get off the spruce.

The view from there was wonderful.
It was so green.
I hoped it would last. And now I know 
The plans of the King.
