Talking To Myself Again

In For A Penny

Lyrics:-
Once upon a time 
There was a grand magician
He would put on shows
To make the people gasp
In disbelief
All the Kings and Queens
Would ask him to their castles
They showered him with riches
And his popularity increased

Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale 
Be mindful of the trickery, the swindle
It's a smoke and mirrors plan
Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale
In pulling back the curtain
No surprise
There is an ordinary man

Now we have 
Celebrities and Politicians
Putting on an act
To entertain the folk
And keep them none the wise
All the kings and queens
Still ask them to their castles
Still shower them with riches
So they toe the party
Toe the party line

Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale 
Be mindful of the trickery, the swindle
It's a smoke and mirrors plan
Beware the Fairytale
Fairytale
In pulling back the curtain
No surprise
There is an ordinary man

This is one of my very earliest songs from many decades ago. I decided to put it up here on Soundcloud.

In God’s Name (Brian Peters)

A village burns and leaves a scar on Mother Earth
The scented flames ascend beyond the fallen ruins
And helpless cries are stilled beneath the weight of senseless birth
A sacrifice is offered by the architects of doom

A figurehead is raised to cull the subjects’ praise
The attributes of God are transferred to his name
Unwarranted, his show of wrath and force belie his fears
His stature grows, but only death and pain support his claim

And so the game is played
No fears are allayed
And tearing down the idol
Can’t be but suicidal

Then suddenly a warning shout disturbs his rest
The spirits of the wronged are merged with forces of the right
A flash of light that brightens up the sky from east to west
He crumbles and descends into the world of endless night

And so his fate was sealed
His evil work revealed
Just memories remain
To inflict no further pain

In God's Name

At the heart of this music lies the steel pan — an instrument born in Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the early 20th century.

During the colonial era, African drumming was banned under British rule, out of fear that rhythms could unify enslaved and marginalized communities. Yet, music could not be silenced.

People turned to bamboo sticks, metal containers, and eventually oil drums, transforming restrictions into invention.
From this resilience emerged the steel pan, the first acoustic instrument created in the 20th century.

The word Creole itself speaks of mixture and convergence: in Republic of Trinidad and Tobago it refers to Creole languages shaped by African, European, and Indigenous influences, and more broadly it names cultures formed where worlds collide.

Reflecting this spirit, Creole weaves the luminous timbre of the steel pan with tribal rhythmic currents, embodying hybridity, memory, and the unbroken force of music.
