Love that guitar, distracted by the two famous chords but knowing you wouldn't drift into space was comforting, wonderful refrain,  spellbinding, that guitar damage is so achingly beautiful, stunning work Kevin...

Such a beautiful subtle melancholy from start to finish...the guitar flourish is a beautiful touch.

Song that can be listening with pleasure. Great voice and a perfect realization. Beautiful. Bravo.

A strong and lovely melody, perfectly performed. Love this song Kevin - powerful and emotive songwriting.

So wonderfully written and performed.. Gorgeous song.

You can throw away your past, but the devil gently finds ways to bring it back...  Devil's Timepiece is a guitar-based alternative folk tune with southern gothic echoes. The fourth tune off the d'ville EP >soundcloud.com/jh0st/sets/dville

Devil's Timepiece
:
Traces of smoke
Lingering soft hope
Words spit like flames
under the up-town train
Together alone
through the heat summer storm

Yes it is…
faded away
No it ain't…
the way it should stay

Church bells of peace
The devil's timepiece
Once in a while
love speaks, to the right one
'Til then I pray at the station
Penn the hymn to the speeding train

Yes it is…
No place to stay.

I saw the city lights
turn dusty moon 

I saw the blue gas-light
split the summer sky

(Yes it is…)
Last place I'll stay
No it ain't…
the only doorway

Oh, gentle violence
Time will rewind it

Oh, blame the summer wind
Sound the sirens

Who will write this down?

Fading Things

Fading things fading after me
 Faded pictures in my mind
 Fragile things break quietly 
 Vultures circling about 

And I’ll ﬂy away with you to a sky all made for you where your eyes get back their youth

Painted wings failing suddenly
 Angels shatter in the dark
 Instincts lead you ﬂee society
 Old desires win your mind

And I’ll runaway with you while the sun delays the moon and your troubles pass you through
And I’ll ﬂy away with you to a sky all made for you where your eyes get back their youth.

 ...music developed by my friend Dale Wicks (he's here, but mostly all over music sites, take a listen he's a great performer and writer)HALFWAY TO CRAZY 8-26-2022

Just got off the phone
Hopped in my car
Wheels on the highway
Headed for your heart
A hundred ways to say I’m sorry
Ain’t going to earn me one more try
I could hear those tear drops falling
Before your slamming phone goodbye
Tonight, I’m halfway, halfway to crazy
Just pulling in, on the border of insane
Wish that trucker, would just pull over
He’s taking up, all of heartbreak lane
(pause) I remember that night you said goodbye
You were lying by my side
I should have never made you cry
That moon was shining in your eyes
I remember your kiss and your caress
Till, I forgot my tenderness
Don’t know where I’m headed now
Guess I’ll soon be finding out
Maybe I’m halfway, halfway to crazy
Just pulling in, on the border of insane
I was halfway, halfway to heaven
Only got, got myself to blame
Halfway to heaven
Wish I took a plane
Cause this loneliness, … sure driving me insane
Left me halfway
halfway to all the way all the way to you
But now I’m halfway…tonight I’m halfway to crazy

When Winter Ends

„Dünengeflüster“ (02.08.2023 )

Der Klang der Wüste. Die flüsternde Stille der Natur die Dir etwas zu erzählen hat.
Du bist ein Sandkorn in der unendlichen Weite der Wüste.

Der Wind verweht Dich kleines Sandkorn. Du bist nichts, die Wüste ist alles.
Sie verschlingt Dich. Du bist kleiner als ein Insekt. Wanderst von Düne zu Düne.

Höre das zarte flüstern der Düne. Lausche achtsam dem heißen Wüstenwind „Calima“ was er Dir zu erzählen hat.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Dune Whisper" (08/02/2023 )

The sound of the desert. The whispering silence of nature that has something to tell you.
You are a grain of sand in the vastness of the desert.

The wind blows you little grain of sand. You are nothing, the desert is everything.
She devours you. You are smaller than an insect. Walk from dune to dune.

Hear the soft whisper of the dunes. Listen carefully to what the hot desert wind “Calima” has to tell you.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Whispers from the corner, as I walk on by.
Whispers in the corner, seethe and sigh.

You know me so well yet you cannot feel my pain,
tis the solitude messing with my brain,
then the night comes and saves me once again.

Whispers from the corner, let me know.
Whispers in the corner, say you better not go.

It's days like these, I find it so hard to breathe,
the uncertainty of being how I am,
then the night calls and saves me once again.

Another long day to get through,
another long day to get through.

Whispers

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. (Image of the cheeky little unit under my name)


Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound
