Relax. Even a short trip down memory lane calls for a cool head, an objective fair-minded witness, so you don't get stuck in a deadend. Best thing about a visit, besides deciding to take it easy, is finding buried treasure in the bins at the curb. Like a poet's book whose sage words advised, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” A pleasant detour reveals lessons learned and a resolve to head back to the Highway because moments are still under construction.

Synth guitars, keyboards, pianos with reverb, and bass set to syncopated and hip hop beats at a leisurely 60 bpm. Audio of bird chirps recorded live New Year's Eve 2023.

Something different for the holidays.

A lot of synths, keyboard, guitars, bass, bassoon, sleigh bells, shakers, tambourine in a mix of beats from hip hop to pop at 85 bpm. Migrating geese in flight recorded live October and November 2023.

So I had recorded geese calls to use in music. What developed was a surprise to me, Wild Geese music that came pouring out in one eight-hour period on the day before winter solstice. Don’t know if it’s good — just what happened when the geese took me on the journey with them, flying high to their good weather hideaways or on a trip home.

Wild Geese

In a book and several widely read newspaper articles, the English journalist David Goodhart has identified a new cause for the vicious populism of our time. Le Pen, Brexit, Trump, the online hate culture - according to Goodhart, two new "meta-classes" (the "Anywheres" and the "Somewheres") have emerged in the global world, two completely different ways of living and feeling. According to Goodhart, these separate cultures are now competing against each other in a kind of new world culture war.

Somewhere, 3:33 am


Anyone awake again…? 
Now, 3:33 am…?

I was just looking… 
I was gazing…
I was just listening,
I was wondering…

Is it change that drives, 
Challenges and brings life, 
Even if failures are included?

Or is transformation 
A constant calculation 
Of loss, a humiliation?

And I was just looking… 
I was gazing…
I was just listening,
I was wondering…

You were somewhere, out there
You were not anywhere, no

Is it change that drives, 
Challenges and brings life, 
Even if failures are included?

Or is transformation 
A constant calculation 
Of loss, a humiliation?

I was just looking… 
And I was gazing
I was just freezing
While I was listening
And I was just looking
(For an answer
Of any kind)

You sang somewhere, out there
You were no anywhere, no
You were a somewhere, out there
You were not anywhere
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
(To find)

Somewhere, 3:33 am

Lyrics:

Can you feel the rain falling down
Can you see the moon spinning round
Can you feel the earth beneath your feet
Can you feel the sun’s penetrating heat

Chorus

That's when I hold you in my arms
Protect and keep you safe and warm
That's when I hold you in my arms
Protect and keep you safe from harm

Bridge

Everyone will tell you exactly how love feels
But no one can tell you if this love, love is real

Music break - Solo

Can you feel the breeze blowing through your hair
When I touch your skin are you  more aware
Can you free your mind without a care
Can you feel the love when we are near

Chorus x 2

Can you feel the rain
Can you fall in love

Can You Feel The Love (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration with Video)

Guitar, G pentatonic, drums, effects, one improvisation take
Musically speaking ... over and over again

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Dayflower（露草）

This an another one of those semi-live recordings. We took an initial iPhone recording of mine that was meant to be a simple test run and decided to keep it as the base to which Nat added her lovely harmony vocals and piano. It’s a very gentle, quiet love song that expresses how our deeply personal core is really one with nature, with God, where only the truest of spirits can find a home to share in love. The pine trees know and the dawn reveals such truths.

Lyrics: WANTING

What I want is simple 
As stand the swaying pines
So quietly a symbol
Of this heart of mine
Reaching for the sunlight
To gain the heavens’ view
And when each storm expires
Will solemn watch renew

Yes, simple is my compass
It steadies on one light
It quiets the presumptuous
Withstands the darkest night
And deep within my wanting
I hear the pine trees sway
A call so low and haunting
To watch you slip away

Yes, I know well my longing
I watch, and there’s the sound
Of stars that rest with dawning
As the sunshine comes around
The warming of my inner-most
With gray and green and blue
Wanting is no more a ghost
The pine trees sing of you

Wanting

Wanting (live)

1st album by Charlie and the Fox is out now https://open.spotify.com/album/78ewrWZjS41XvHT9mFWd6O?si=qkG2b5LbSK6mo6qDzuZskw Quick note , if someone plays a track of mine I Always return the favour , and if they have no tracks I always say thank you ! But sometimes SC will show me all the listeners , but other times they only show me the last 2 hours and I have no idea of who listened to what , it is so annoying , and I apologise if I miss anyone out , it's not deliberate , I value every single one of my listeners ! Self confessed Music Addict ! I write and play/vocalise everything myself whether it be real or synthetic . Recently teamed up with Charlotte Thornton , and together we are Charlie and the Fox , it's the best thing I have ever done musically . Char has an outstanding voice , writes amazing lyrics and comes up with melodies I would never have dreamed of , it's a partnership that works so well , and long may it continue ! We thank you for listening , liking and commenting . Cheers , Mike and Char .
