Voices From The Gallows (Acoustic)

Growing Closer Apart

Country Blue

Dear renegade’s -  As gentle as the rolling hills, the bramble and the deer, the night it holds hushed secrets meant for only your ears.   As fleeting as a truffula tree on paper framed by silk embroidered oak and gold melting in the rain…hey a sneed is a thing that everyone needs, who cares about the majestic truffula trees?

Apples🍎🍏

Apples from your hometown 
Harvest seeds you’ve thrown down 
Suffered ..have you, clown?
Water all the way down
Rough around the edges
Spied in through the hedges
He watched me in the playground
Back then he made no sound 
He found me in the bleachers
Oooh.
I found him in the bleachers
I was taught by all his teachers
I ran it by all the preachers 
Back then he made no sound
I found him in the bleachers
I played his game, I scored a touchdown

Dear friends, this humble and soft song is dedicated to our meadows around the world.
They must not be ruined by mines, explosions or tank tracks.
Please, help me to spread this message so that also warmongers get the golden opportunities to listen to this little song!!

Our Treasures

They are painted in purple and blue
in yellow and also green
the treasures that we see here
go directly to our hearts
and make us feel well 

I am talking about all meadows here and there
which are scattered around our world
You meet them in Africa
and in China and in Vietnam
they make us feel well

The people in America
have learned to relish
what is offered around their homes
it is not only there people see
how they can feel well
And we don’t want any mines destroying our fields
we want to keep them safe for our kids 



Lyrics in Swedish

Våra skatter

De är målade i lila och blått
i gult och även grönt
skatterna som vi ser här
går direkt till våra hjärtan
och får oss att må bra

Jag talar om alla ängar här och där
som är utspridda över vår värld
Du möter dem i Afrika
och i Kina och i Vietnam
de får oss att må bra

Människorna i Amerika
har lärt sig att njuta av
det som erbjuds runt deras hem
det är inte bara där människor ser
hur de kan må bra
och vi vill inte ha några minor som förstör våra fält
vi vill hålla dom trygga för våra barn

Our Treasures - 2025-06-25 09.53

When it's time you stumble through your mind, every line tumbles right through time, every fine you pay for your crime

Always moving never slowing can't control it's always growing,
is it all knowing, I think we'll be all right as long as we don't look it in the eye, don't you look it in the eye.

Don't believe everything you hear, so many things come across your screen imagine if it all just disappeared.
If we can stick together this time,
We can change the future, we can change the future...

We can even rewrite history. 

The future is wise, don't you look it in the eyes,
You long for what you were meant to be,
The man inside you never got to see,
Never got to see, never got to be.

Back in 2003 I was in a covers band called Airplay and we went in the studio off the advice of our agent to record 3 live cover tracks for promo.
This was so we had a product to use as a reference for bookings. 
The Darkness -I believe in a thing called Love (On My Cloud ) 
James - Sit Down (On My Cloud)
& The Undertones - Teenage Kicks 

Teenage Kicks" is the debut single by the Irish punk band The Undertones, released in 1978. It was written by John O'Neill in about 5 minutes and recorded at Wizard Recording Studio in Belfast. Initially released on the Good Vibrations label, it gained significant attention after being played by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who famously declared it his favourite single ever. This led to the band signing with Sire Records and a re-release of the single, which reached number 31 in the UK charts. The song is known for its raw punk energy and catchy melody, and has become an iconic track in the history of punk and new wave music. 

Feargal Sharkey, the former lead singer of The Undertones, has become a prominent campaigner for clean water in England, focusing on the dire state of the nation's rivers and the role of the water industry and government in addressing pollution. So fair play to Feargul.

This is Airplays version of it, my covers band from back in 2003. The tune today as been covered  many times but remains an absolute banger !

I give you Airplay the covers band with me on lead vocals.
Lee Hughes - Guitars
Andy Harris -Bass
Kev Smith - Keyboards 
Dave Robins - Drums

Some what of a throwback  to the 50's.  Track gradually picks up more feeling along the way.  Melancholy vibes throughout.
