I love the track, but the saxophone is like talking!

A wonderful, superb   , great   gr8 track  ...

Great sound! The atmosphere is really cool!

Great tune Mikey! Always fresh and original.

Wonderful music and cover art by BoxTox https://soundcloud.com/user-247600493, story, narration and sound effects by myself.

This is a second instalment in the story of Veronique and Jeremiah from 'Jeremiah and the Moon'. This chapter precedes the last episode.
I intend to work on further episodes in the story, each preceding the last and going backwards in time. BoxTox has very kindly agreed to allow me to tell the story over his beautiful music. 
It may take some months to develop and I will post them here as I produce them. The continuing story https://soundcloud.com/garddwrporffor/sets/jeremiah-and-the-moon

Silver Lake

The silver lake sent light 
to splash upon their skin
who knows where we end up
when we first begin

Veronique and Dominique held warm hands in the dark
the liquid coolness moved around their bodies 
Two fragile creatures, building their own "ark"
Two creatures blessed by unawareness

The circling arms of lovers, enveloping charms
Draw expanding lines upon the silver
Silence, oh so deep and still with languid lapping sounds
Evanescent ripples in the mirror


Dominique rose up and slipped into the depths
All evidence of movement slowly faded
Veronique swam quietly awaiting her return......

Such simple ways in which our lives are shaded....

Silver Lake (music BoxTox, narrative Garddwr Porffor)

I wrote this song about 15 years ago. The original version sounds much different, and in my opinion, much worse. I heard it recently and realized that I have struggled to record this song for years in its truest form. I think I've captured this song finally. It's not perfect. None of my work is. But I'm happy that this song is finally in the world of songs now. After 15 years with my lover, it was certainly a "Right Whim".

My sword is my mouth and I
Need to get gone know why
My edge is by sharpness
that's dull on the side

I've got one night to live
even a right whim did
give me a gentle wind
I'll breathe it in.

Thanks for listening, liking, commenting, and following as always!

Don’t Cross That Line 


I go to bed so fearful 
I wake up so tearful 
Don’t want to see those flowers of yours bloom 
I have children you see 
And I love my family 
I don’t want to know that they’re all doomed 

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a dying wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine 

To see the rockets fall 
In blinding flashes all
Where everything I love will be consumed 
The power that it brings 
To which your dirty fingers cling 
Means nothing to those alive nor in the womb

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a dying wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine

The world should only be over 
When the sun goes supernova 
And not burnt on the whim 
Of one whose ego matters more to him
Than all the lives you disrespect 
Who it should be your duty to protect 
Not destroy while you stand so proud 
In the shadow of a mushroom cloud 
But would press the button and then hunker 
Down inside a concrete bunker 
To emerge when entire nations
Are engulfed by the conflagrations 
And if this is what goes through your mind 
I don’t trust you not to cross that line 

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a burning wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine

Oh you’re all the same 
Leaders just in name 
Tyrants, despots, dictators, all fools 
As you try to shape the world 
With your hellish flags unfurled 
You’re creatures of my nightmares, demons, ghouls 

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a burning wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you to all that leave nice comments. My apologies if I take a little while to respond.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, (great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.
