BLUE BLUE BLUE

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

Here's another instrumental.
The titel has nothing to to with the music. It's just because I'm so fed up hearing so many lies from every corner of this world.
What's left is to make music...

Here you are a rough mix from a pair of jam sessions around dbdonlon's interesting bass and drums track: https://soundcloud.com/dbdonlon/dance-of-the-echidna-mp3
He would work on a better mix, but I had so much fun that I wanted to share it asap !!
I recommend use of headphones once again !!!

Dance of the Echidna (with dbdonlon)

'Common Enemy' is about the fact that a common threat can unite humans and make them look past certain differences to face a common Enemy. More specifically the song is about Someone that acts as a common enemy, someone trying to carry all the weight of the blame to give others a reason to unite and cooperate for good. Song is somewhat inspired from the war in Ukraine particularly how the russian invasion has brought NATO members to tighten their links.

Common Enemy (prod. Cadence)

25 years we’re out on the town-and we live it on up to forget our frowns-but as the night rolls in it seems even more upside down-And we drink to forget the day ahead- as demons still dance around our bed-though tonight we’ll sleep well I’d rather be inside you instead – “My friend” 
My attention is drawn to the shadow on the wall-and he’s laughing at me-but I see through it all and baby it’s not that bad so what the fuck are we doing?
And ooooohhhhhhhh I’m inside of you again my Friend and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end 
I search the corners of time I pull the puzzle apart so I can piece back together the hole in my heart I thought that right from the start I was your everything
You walk away from it all think your way too good – as I fumble about with this semi-wood – and I know in the end that this ain’t just a white man’s hood
And ooo  oohhhhhhhh I’m inside of you again my Friend and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end 
It’s 1Am and we’re still at the club what are we searching for all we need is love or is that just something someone coined one time – But hey look in my eye if you need something else and  I will oblige cause 
  I’m throbbing inside and baby if it’s over till that fat lady sings oh oh – let me apologize in advance – I requested our song if you want to dance cause come morning my love the two of us wont’ remember my friend
And ooooohhhhhhhh I’m in love with you “my Friend” and ooooooohhhhhhh I can’t feel where I begin and you end

"Inside of you" Acoustic

If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Hold out, it's running down my back
What I stand for in myself, I'm feeling under attack
On the edge now, on the edge now
Shut down, the peace inside of me
Inner self is all but here, it's not a pleasant scene
You see now? You see now
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows
Stuck out in the storm
Caught in the rampage that you have poured on
Me now, me now
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again
I said high strung, the games you play
I always get back up just to do it again
----------------------------------------------------
Now I'm seeking solace
Inner thoughts, provoking words, I need some self defense
Secure, how? Secure, how?
Tasteless, the way you do me wrong
In myself, I'm all but here, oh yeah, I'm fucking gone
A ghost cloud, a ghost cloud
----------------------------------------------------
Drifting, further out
Away from your vibes that you're putting out
The bad energy, it flows
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
If I ever had pride in your eyes
It was the lies you said to me
That made it die inside of me
----------------------------------------------------
Prides gone from the way
You always beat me down and you do it again
I said high strung, the games you play
I always get back up just to do it again

TheWayYouUsedTo

With everything that we do
There comes a time to start a new
But I never ever thought 
That it could be
That it would be
The same with you
No not with you

Now I wake up each morning
Think it’s gonna be alright
Then you come on home late at night
With the same
Old story

Well tell me now darling 
What would it take for you
To treat me
The way
The way you used to
The way you used to

Solo 

Yea I’m tired of trying
And I’ve made up my mind
If you can’t give your love to me
Well I’m saying goodbye

So tell me now darling 
What would it take for you
To treat me
The way
The way you used to
The way you used to

So tell me now darling 
What would it take for you
To treat me
The way
The way you used to
The way you used to
The way you used to

Disco Again - Paploviante

New lyric video for April 24
https://youtu.be/SF_4eH7B788

If that was me / I’d spend all my time / getting wasted with you
If that was me / I’d give you the full code / to my lost earnings
If that was me / I’d script my best life / in our borrowed lines
And if that was me / I’d define my desire / through your yearnings…they’re my learnings

But it’s not me / No, it’s not me
Baby can’t you see / It’s just not me

If that was me / I’d worship the ground / I’ll never let you fall on
If that was me / Then pin you on up / in our home made shrines
If that was me / I’d donate you my lungs / to watch you breathe forever
Cos if that was me / I’d feed you my tears / so you never have to cry

But it’s not me / No, it’s not me
Baby can’t you see / I’m not the man I used to be
It’s just not me / I’m not that man I used to be

She said that was me / and I know I let you down / when I had to let you go 
Yeah that was me / lost all the good love / I didn’t know that I’d found
Cos it was me / couldn’t fall for the thought / of that new future us
So guess now it’s just me / 'til I’m buried alone / so deep underground 
But when buried and alone / who hears the sound

Now it’s just me / since she said set me free
Now it’s just me / and what’s meant to be will be
Now it’s just me / she said baby can’t you see
We’re forever you and me / forever you and me
You and me

But now it’s just me / not forever you and me / now it’s just me
Now it’s just me / not that man I used to be / now it’s just me
Now it’s just me / not forever you and me / now it’s just me
Now it’s just me
Now it’s just me

thank you lovely Lizzie (@lizzieandrews) and special K (@monnodb) for the talking and whispering

Saw a sign on a closed shop door it read
shut happens sometimes
made me smile for quite a while what do they say
little things please little minds
guess thats me down to a T im just a simple man
finding my way

Oh life seems inscrutable when youre analogue in a digital world
so much i dont understand at all cant get a handle on it

I was bought up to treat all those i meet
how id like to be treated myself.....and dad would say
at the end of the week pay all your bills then stick half away
save for a rainy day
how i miss all the sweet loving bliss of our family home
still dream about it

Oh life seems inscrutable when youre analogue in a digital world
so much i dont understand at all cant get a handle on it
when respect is earnt with a gun or a knife and not when you
love and care for the kids and your wife
and the only thing that matters is the gathering of wealth
what the hell...is going on its all going wrong.

Shut Happens

Words that inspired Glen are listed below. 

HE GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN
DOWN IN THE DEEP SOUTH
LOVED FOUR/FOUR TIME
AND MAKIN' WORDS RHYME

HE TRIED HIS HAND AT SONGWRITIN'
SIGNED A FEW SONG CONTRACTS
HAD A FEW PLAYED ON THE RADIO
BUT THINGS WERE MOVIN' SLOW

HE DECIDED TO MOVE TO MUSIC CITY 
WHERE THE COST OF LIVIN' WAS HIGH
A CITY FULL OF SINGER/SONGWRITERS
WANTIN' TO BE COUNTRY STARS

(CHORUS)
IF YOU LOVE MAKIN' WORDS RHYME
AND WRITIN' COUNTRY SONGS
MOST PEOPLE WOULD  AGREE
NASHVILLE'S THE PLACE TO BE
BUT, MAKIN' IT ON MUSIC ROW
CAN BE A HARD ROW TO HOE

DIDN'T TAKE HIM LONG TO FIND OUT
IF HE WANTED TO WRITE A HIT
HE HAD TO WORK OVERTIME
MAKIN' HIS WORDS RHYME

WELL, WORKING OVERTIME
DIDN'T HELP HIM VERY MUCH
CAUSE, NASHVILLE'S A TOUGH SALE
AND A HARD LADDER TO CLIMB

Tomorrow, 22 August 2022, marks ten years since my brother Bri died. Hard to believe. I remember that day as if it were yesterday. His ashes were released into the River Thames, from the towpath that runs alongside Fulham football ground (quaintly known as ‘Craven Cottage’). He’d been a lifelong supporter of the club so this seemed a very appropriate resting place for him.

For those unaware of the sporting ritual, nearly every year since 1839, there's been a boat race on The Thames between Oxford & Cambridge Universities, held on a course between Putney and Mortlake. It is quite the occasion, with crowds lining the banks of the river for much of the four mile, 374 yard distance. It is broadcast live by the BBC and the Fulham stadium can clearly be seen as the crews row past. Guess who we think of when that happens?

When we were kids, we lived on a housing estate just a couple of minutes from the river, so Boat Race Day was always special. Every family was either a vehement supporter of the light blues of Cambridge or the dark blues of Oxford which seemed quite normal at the time but, thinking back, appears quite odd now. We were all decidedly lower class, with precious little chance of attending any university, let alone Oxbridge. But I clearly remember having a punch up with another kid on the estate because he supported Oxford. Total madness…but in my defence, I was very young at the time.

The family ritual was to watch the race on the telly until it reached Hammersmith Bridge, run to the river to watch the boats go by and then run back to see the finish. You still hear folks say “We had to make our own fun in those days” and I rather think this custom now falls into that deeply enigmatic category.

So that’s how Bri’s death has become inextricably linked to The Boat Race and the thoughts I have of him when the drone cameras look down upon the crews as they zoom past Craven Cottage. The fond memories always win out over the political bewilderment…and, strange as it may seem, I still want Cambridge to win.

For you, Bri. We miss you. (Terry Reeves)

Ten years of ashes floating, reasons to find
Connected thoughts search sensitive mind
Watery echoes continue, grieving combined
Reluctant tidal memories, questions behind

Never to forget you're all part of me

Cambridge beat Oxford, repair some sorrow 
But cannot add smiles to a never tomorrow 
A two to one chance, exciting times borrow 
History growing up, running riverside to follow

Never to forget you're all part of me

Ten years have past left me standing here
No harmony practice, new song to appear
Every heartbeat 4/4 beat counting each year 
Independence not requested, vocal unclear

Never to forget you're all part of me

From Birth to final moments always there
No feeling exchanged or choosing to care
50 years of musical lifetime joined with stare 
Total love for a brother, dreams cannot share

Never to forget you're all part of me
Never to forget you’re all part of me

Lyrics:

Jesus’ little sister her name is Rita
she’s warm and bright and full of life
she’s a fine mamacita
we hardly ever see her
a maitre d’ at Papacitas 
working her way through junior college
For a degree in engineering

Oh Rita, we hardly ever see you
won’t you take some time to free your mind
Rita, don’t become a stranger
your physics and your mathematics
are all that you can see

Jesus is her hero
played CFL football
was in a mariachi band 
now he’s a rep for Guitar Hero

She moves like Shakira
likes Kinky and Weezer
She laughs every time 
the DJ plays the Macarena

Oh Rita, we hardly ever see you
won’t you take some time to free your mind
Rita, don’t become a stranger
your physics and your mathematics 
are all that you can see

Won’t you come over tonight
Rita please!
Won’t you come over tonight

======= Lyrics =======

Can you call back those days
We were the rabbits of the show
They were always amazed
Some kind of secret play

Remember when all was fun
We couldn’t get enough of life
Remember when we were young
That we thought that we could reach the sky

The sky
The sky
So high
The sky

We used to play it cool
But no one knew
About your hidden haze
Shining in you

And every little thing was fine
Just a little thing or two that went by
And every little thing was fine
All was at ease in those different times

Remember when all was fun
We couldn’t get enough of life
Remember when we were young
That we thought that we could reach the sky

The sky
The sky
So high
So high

...and she starts to sing
and you stop her
and she wants to sing
but you stop her
the words come out and you are watching
they fall and burn as leaves
all around her...

fire comes from her mouth
'fire always comes from her mouth'
and still this sorrow...

she wants to hear the sound of fire
and she wants to watch you 
dancing all around her
fire comes from her mouth
'fire always comes from her mouth.'
and still this sorrow...

So you take your bow / To embrace the down
Clutch a plan for tomorrow / In place of a now
Cos you’re half way to nowhere / Yet still nowhere near
That star in a jar / Drank too dry for tears

With your screwed up sense / Of what’ll go wrong
In your role play musical / Without any song
And with a tragic ending / Always guaranteed
It's the only way for a loser / To truly succeed

But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just so you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave, a close shave a close shave

When the get one free / Is all you deserve
And you love to receive / But hate to serve
You're only racing / When nobody knows
Cos you’re King of the mountains / Where no one else goes
King of the mountains / Where no one else knows
You're King of the mountain’s Lonely echoes

But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just So you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave a close shave a close shave
But you’ve been breaking your neck to waste your time (it’s your time it’s not a crime no)
Just So you can sit and watch the world go by (say goodbye just don’t try no)
It’s been breaking my heart watching you fade (and fade…and fade)
We know that those rings said forever what a close shave a close shave a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave
Close / what a / shave / what a / close / what a / what a close shave

WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

WE MIGHT END UP DANCING WITH THE COPS
ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK
AND THE JUDGE SAYS ROCK ON ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

Lyrics:
the paper sun has gone down now
for shining eight miles away
no mad man's running through the fields now
no longer he lives for today

the purple haze has passed away now
and lucy's now a daughter of eve
the iron butterfly has vanished
so light my fire before we leave

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade away

a former psychedelic siren
now part of the music business scene
is casting spells only for money
 the white rabbits hide in lemon trees

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade

---------------------------------------

quotes / reminiscences (psych and garage rock bands and songs 1966 - 68)
in order of appearance in the lyrics:

traffic - paper sun
the byrds - eight miles high
dantalion's chariot - mad man's running through the field
the grass roots - let's live for today
jimi hendrix - purple haze
beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds
the daughters of eve (us band)
iron butterfly (us band)
the doors - light my fire
kaleidoscope (uk band) 
small faces - green circles
the tide - psychedelic siren
ccr - i put a spell on you
jefferson airplane - white rabbit
the move - here we go round the lemon tree

Gone With The Flow

Bandcamp

Kaleidoscope

Musing over you

I start this new album with better sound by means of one of my more beloved and evolved songs ever, a structured piece with progressing parts.

LETRA   /   TRANSLATED LYRICS:

BIEN, MAL (LLUVIA VIEJA)    /   WELL, BADLY (OLD RAIN)

Sí, no, ¿por qué no?   /   Yes, no, why not? 
estoy pensando que esto no es lo mejor.   /   I am thinkinkg this is not the best.
Bien, mal, ¿tú qué tal?   /   Well, badly, what about you?
de repente me he puesto a pensar.   /   Suddenly I have started to think.

El tiempo esparcido entre mis amigos   /   Time scattered among my friends
 es el más valioso cuando estoy contigo.   /   is the most valuable one when I am with you
Los ratos vividos estando contigo   /   Moments lived being with you
 son reconfortantes cuando estoy perdido.   /   are comforting when I feel lost. 
Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos,   /   I must search for them among my friends
tengo que encontrarlos, pero ya se han ido todos.   /   I must find them, but they are all gone already.

Fumando   /   Smoking 
tras los cristales   /   behind the windows
mojados de lluvia vieja.   /   wet with old rain
Recuerdos   /   Memories
 que me llevan flotando   /   carry me floating
 a estar con ella.   /   to be with her

Tengo que buscarlos entre mis amigos.   /   I must search for them among my friends

Tú, yo, ¿qué sé yo?   /   You, me, what do I know?
está lloviendo pero tengo calor.   /   It is raining but I feel hot
Qué, quién, ¡mírame!   /   What, who, look at me !
soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.   /   I am still who you started do love

Soy todavía quien empezaste a querer.  /   I am still who you started do love

We hope you enjoy this instrumental version of our song Rise. It may surprise you to know that, other than the computer-generated drum sounds, there are no keyboards or synthesisers: all of the sounds were created with electric and bass guitars!
