Wait, did you just rhyme "ohwoow" with "tattoo"? Leave you alone for 19 days... and this is the kind of tomfoolery that results....

Just trying to stay young, really. Songs about aging ... or not.

Monstre ou Miroir   (Translated after the French text  )
Chant : Liora
Musique : Alain Illos

Ma bien  chère sœur je vais te raconter
L’histoire de deux hommes devenus fous 
L’un voulait dompter la mort , donner la vie sans faire d’enfant ,
Mais son savoir l’aura perdu
 
Sa création faite d’os   , de chairs putréfiés 
Homme -démon  aussitôt rejeté
Il renvoie le reflet  que Victor ne peut supporter 
Un monstre hideux mal recousu 

Pourtant la créature voulait
Un peu d’amour et d’amitié,
La force douce d’une fleur de mai,
Et l’impression d’être attendu .

Né sans amour né sans raison 
Brisé, perdu, traqué
Sur de rien ,  il  a gémi  ….et il a supplié
l’ erreur, le batard , le reflet de notre conscience perdue   C’est un amas d’chair mal façonné….un puzzle qu’on veut qu’on doit jeter! 
Avec  leur peur  il a compris sa mort  ,et  la leur 
 tendu la main qu’ils ont tranché, de  l’autre les a étranglé . Ils ont mis le feu quand il a souri
Il voulait  seulement le  père  qui s’est sauvé 
 
Chère Margareth  je t’ai raconté ,
L’histoire de ces  deux hommes devenus fous 
Victor se croyait tout puissant , l’autre  vivait pour se  venger .
Monstre ou miroir  ?….qu’en as tu conclu ??

Monster or Mirror

My dear sister, I'm going to tell you
The story of two men gone mad 
One wanted to tame death, give life without having children,
But his knowledge lost him
 
His creation made of putrefied bones and flesh 
Man-demon immediately rejected
He sends back the reflection Victor can't bear 
A hideous, badly stitched monster 

Yet the creature wanted
A little love and friendship,
The gentle strength of a May flower,
And the feeling of being expected.

Born without love born without reason 
Broken, lost, hunted
out of nothing, he moaned .... and begged
l'erreur, le batard , le reflet de notre conscience perdue C'est un amas d'chair mal façonné....un puzzle qu'on veut qu'on doit jeter! 
With their fear he understood his death, and theirs 
 hand that they sliced off, with the other strangled them. They set fire to him when he smiled
He only wanted the father who ran away 
 
Dear Margareth I've told you,
The story of these two men gone mad 
Victor thought he was all-powerful, the other lived for revenge.
Monster or mirror? .... What did you conclude?

No need to explain the meaning, I think. 
I'll make new changes to the track at the next historical turn, if I'm still alive.

Lyrics:
Walking away from me
I see
A brightness
An emission of brilliance
An omission of weight
An admission of guilt

Limerence Pt. 1

This is my new single. It’s about accepting life’s challenges, working through them and then using that learning to adapt and survive.  I’ve posted an earlier version here before but it’s remixed and mastered (RCD Audio). 
I hope you enjoy it. Take care. 
James
Lyrics:
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

Hypnagogia : the transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. 

I have been continuing my mixing practice and trying to get better piano sounds with this one.

Thanks to Chris Adams for his creative input and for teaching me how valuable it is to take a step back now and again to evaluate my work before making any changes.  Thank you also Chris for polishing up my final master copy and making it "sparkle".

Lyrics:
I could not see you cry through all of the tears 
I could not see hear you cry through all of the jeers 
I could not see you there because you got in the way 
I was too busy living fast to hear them say 

I'd die tomorrow

Poor Henry Chinaski 
Too drunk to read the words that he wrote 

Ain't that the way

I could not see you cry through all of the tears 
I could not see hear you cry through all of the jeers 
I could not see you there because you got in the way 
I was too busy living fast to hear them say 

I'd die tomorrow

Poor Henry Chinaski 
Too drunk to read the words that he wrote 

Ain't that the way

I'd die tomorrow

Notes:
Spoke with some one and they said "hey man,  too much typing".  Sad but probably true.  

First and foremost I want to take a moment to say thank you Jay(Deadlover80).  You have endured months of weekly updates and have been a fantastic production partner though the whole thing.  I have enjoyed every minute of it.  Honored to have your back for another great song.  Love what you do my friend!

Inspiration projects are a flash in the pan, they resolve quickly and are done before you know it. Sometimes its a crafting project and those can take a while to get through.  What we had here was a crafting project that started back in Feb 2017.  

Jay sent over the central riff and vocals and we set terms.  We agreed that this run we should push to move the bar forward.  I am sure there are moments Jay was at his wits end with me as a result

Recordings were rejected and re-done over and over looking to capture the right moment.  My recording track counts are in the hundreds in an effort to nail a take that made me say, yeah that is the right one.

Some stuff was crafted stitched in and then dropped,  things that originally sounded great until things got tightened up....then it was back to practice and recording.  In the end Jay and Thom crafted a song that deserved a musicians sweat and honesty.  We drove hard to deliver that. The cutting room floor is littered with sessions that required too much editing, were the wrong vibe, parts that just weren't going to fit.

Finally the central theme that ran through this project and I feel really good about, comes from an early conversation Jay and I had about re-recording.  "It's art, not a race, keep going until you have right take."  Think that pretty much sums up this project for me and I hope that is the feel that comes across on your side of the paper cone. 

 It's not perfect,  it however feels right and I think when it is all said and done... that's the thing that really matters. 

I hope this inspires you to learn about Bukowski's works yourself if you haven't discovered them.     
Peace and love my brothers and sisters of the cloud!

Burning Ember -The Pantheon Project Feat. November Sound

The holiday romance did not go quite to plan!

Lyrics:

Let's Get a Tattoo

So cool 
Our holiday romance
In Benidorm 
That you swore was in France
Beauty 
I took it over brains
Love at first sight 
When I met you on the plane
Hot nights
All Sangria and pleasure
And you promised
You'd soul-mate me forever
Oh yeah
Let's go over the edge
Another drink then
We made this solemn pledge

Ah-ooh
Let's get a tattoo
To prove you love me
I love you
Ah-ooh
Let's get a tattoo 
I got mine first
What about you?

Poolside
When I took off my vest
Your sweet name
Now tattooed on my chest
You laughed
And said you'd get one later
I saw you wink
At the handsome Spanish waiter 
But you
Said babes do not be jealous
You'd had enough
Of all the other fellas
Gorgeous
You took a selfie then
And sent it to me
But I'd never see you again

We should have been in Tattoo Heaven 
Choosing funky tattoo art
But you fled from Tattoo Heaven 
That day you broke my tattooed heart


Where’s your tattoo?
Where’s your tattoo?
Where’s your tattoo?
And where are you?

Let's Get A Tattoo

Don't be afraid
Put aside that fear
As the cloudiness comes
I'll be right here
I'll hold your hand
I'll take your weight
Just lean on me
As we wait...

The years pass
The tables turn
From a life and love
That simply were
No question marks
The lines were straight
They’re crooked now
As we wait...

Like an old film reel
The images float
Past my eyes
And that lump in my throat
Makes me tighten
My hold on your hand
My cries I swallow
My tears I fan
As we wait...

Bring me back
To an airy day
Paddling in
In the incoming waves
Trousers rolled
To knees exposed
Laughter loud and
Water cold
Hand held tight
As we jumped each time
The tide pushed us
Back in line
I close my eyes
I hold that thought
As we wait..

And I promise you
I won't love less
Won't loosen my hold
Through the cloudiness
My hand in yours
Your cushion my shoulder
It's simply time
We all must get older
Don't be afraid
I'll be right here
As we wait....

As We Wait

Rooftop - by November Sound
Featuring Guy Myette on trumpet
Mastered by Tainted Icarus - https://soundcloud.com/taintedicarus 

I don't want to get old, how about you?

Yup, it's a real horn section! Thanks Guy for your killer trumpet parts! A fun time ... hope you enjoy this song about growing up. Thanks again to Tainted Icarus for his stellar mastering production! You're the best Jeff!

Lyrics:
He said, 
“I’m losing my mind here for heaven’s sake:
this boredom so real and this smile so fake.
Will I be a husband and you be a wife,
Living the remnants of what we called life?”

So I said, 
“Let’s go up to rooftop Andy.
An elevator ride, well it would be dandy.
Where’s the tallest building here in Minnesota?
Let’s get there fast, ‘cause we’re getting older.
Let’s run down to the river bank Andy.
Fill a picnic basket up with wine and candy.
‘ Don’t wanna get old. How about you?
I’ll go anywhere with you…oh,oh.

He said, 
“Look back on our life we just stayed home with kids.
All that we missed versus all that we did?
Two people here fit like a hand in a glove.
Were we just roommates or were we in love?”

So I said, 
“Let’s go up to rooftop Andy.
An elevator ride, well it would be dandy.
Where’s the tallest building here in Minnesota?
Let’s get there fast, ‘cause we’re getting older.
Let’s run down to the river bank Andy.
Fill a picnic basket up with wine and candy.
‘ Don’t wanna get old. How about you?
I’ll go anywhere with you…oh,oh.

He said,
“When I get older I wanna be
The perfect man, you’ll be so proud of me.”
I said, “Life’s not a sprint it’s a marathon.
We got time so let’s have some fun.
Oh let’s have some fu…u…un!”

So I said, 
“Let’s go up to rooftop Andy.
An elevator ride, well it would be dandy.
Where’s the tallest building here in Minnesota?
Let’s get there fast, ‘cause we’re getting older.
Let’s run down to the river bank Andy.
Fill a picnic basket up with wine and candy.
‘ Don’t wanna get old. How about you?
I’ll go anywhere with you…oh,oh.

“Let’s go up to rooftop Andy.
An elevator ride, well it would be dandy.
‘ Don’t wanna get old. How about you?
-----
“Let’s go up to rooftop Andy.
An elevator ride, well it would be dandy.
Let’s get there fast, ‘cause we’re getting older.
Quick, what’s the capital of Minnesota?

Bills note: You ever meet those couples that stay together just for the kids? We've had some friends go down that road.
Did you ever hit 30, 35, 40, 45 years old ,etc.. and ask yourself what is the point in all this? What am I doing with my life? Yeah, maybe...
Are you the positive or the negative person in the relationship? A guy who sees it in the negative and a girl who says, "don't give up yet." 

If you actually read this far then God bless you! You are very important to us! 

Here we are a family living out in the woods of New England and people all around the world take some time to listen to our music. Some people actually like it. How cool is that?

Hi, thanks for stopping by my Soundcloud page.  I'm a songwriter and novelist from North West England, looking to reach a wider audience with these little treasures of mine.

My three novels, 'Gavin & The Bodysnatchers', 'Sixth Beatle' and ‘Peckersley’s Bird Cafe’ are available through my website - link below. Plus you can find out a lot more about me there.

For music fans on here, you’ll find that my ‘Sixth Beatle’ novel is about a young composer trying to come up with the most perfect piece ever written. What most of us creating on Soundcloud strive for, I guess - but not many come close to achieving! 😁 Why not check it out?
