FLICKERING ON ICE
____________________
Why do you think you brought us here, to this cross street?

And the lights are flickering
On ice
And the lights are flickering
On ice

Haider is my brother's last name,
your father's name was written, written as...

You can love if you can, love if you can

And the lights are flickering
On ice
And the lights are flickering
On ice

You can love if you can, love if you can

On Ice - wanting, ask for word - Lie to me, well i say, lie to me!

Sit down like a want - sipping on a glass
Say to me
Poison
Say to me
sipping on a glass of poison
Say to me

My eyes slowly tear
My tears miss the ground

Oo exquisite
Oo exquisite

My eyes slowly tear
Tears miss the ground

Oo exquisite
Oo exquisite

So don’t shed no tears
Don’t shed!
Don’t shed no tears
Don’t shed!
So don’t shed no tears
These’ll be my Last!

The lights flickering on ice
On Ice

UNBROKEN STORIES
_________________________
Viewpoint Vantage point
Lullaby
The Soul Chain
The Love Dream 
Big Dream
Into the world, answers, questions

Work it Girl 
Work it Girl

I make a nest for the dimensions
I make a nest for the divinesions
Not just from thin air
Not just from thin air
And yes I miss nature
Yes I miss the march
I miss nature 
I miss the march

City clothing, youth, old
Love, Love, Love You

I am just sitting here
All on my own
Ain’t been no telling
What could go wrong
Going back on
The trail sing-song
All on my own
And nothing shakes my ground

I wanted You
I wanted You

You been made into something
Can’t get on
You done wrong (You been wronged)
You can’t get no
You’ve been found
You’ve been lost
Baby but I found You

I have come to that point in my age
When I know less than I ever have
Before

Unbroken Stories

Good Evening!
Good Evening!
Get Even Eh?

Unbroken Stories
Tales Held To Pathway
Cobble stones falling together
Piece by piece by
Broken bricks
Rips of silk
Remnants of insects
The path untrodden
Unbroken bricks
Rips of silk
Remnants of insects
Paths UnTrodden
T-t-trodden

Somewhere you and I
From there we part

Somewhere you are alive
Somewhere you and I
Somewhere you and I
From there we part
We do our, we do our
We are to meet to meet again
We are to meet again
We are to meet again

I’m gonna kick yo down!
Am gonna kick your (door) down!


~~~~~~~~~ repeat

Where I was left (where I was dropped)
I make a nest for the dimensions
I make a nest for the divinesions
I bore it into the world
Not just from thin air

How do they know?
How do they know?
Community!
Community!
And yes I miss nature
I miss the march
I missed the march

How do they know?
How do they know?
Love, Love, Love You ououououououououu

I am just sitting here
All my own……

Days go by and nothing shakes my ground
I wanted You
I wanted You
….

They say I swing to and fro
I do Love Myself
They say I swing to and fro
How do they know? How do they know?

HOPE AWAY
our way
callin’ callin'
your name

comin back from so far
come back come back from so far
come back in love from so far
from so far

I don’t know what it is
just cause you ain’t never said
but I know a way
but then no one has the time to hope away
this is precious time when no one really hopes a way
this time , hoping that the things will turn around
hope is waiting

what is the meaning
of the holiness that you so farther?
own it!
I did not open this way - now -
I can hold it.
This final wish i would not give
but i’m callin 
i’m callin to your hollow
I am callin callin
callin your name

Hoping you....
_ i’ve been calling hope

Calling Hope

Another song we recorded while we were visiting together. It just made itself, really.. Lyrics and main vocals Myrh.

we don't know
which way they go, go, go
but they find the ones
that they love.

play play play 
i want to,
i want to..
oooh..
nah, nah, nah, nah, nah..

we don't know
which way we go, go, go
but we find the ones
that they love.

my heart's beating
all the time.
i don't know why, 
but i'm alive!
no, i don't know
why, oh, why
but i'm alive.

play, play, play 
with you,
i want to...

THIS TIME
Maybe we will get it right this time
Maybe we will get it right

some of our words are easy
but my heart i know

maybe you do wanna know
where i wanna go

…. don’t judge
don’t persuade me 
with your charming ways….

i got a ways to go
you can come along….

Maybe words are alone

I can tell, like i find
you don’t believe me

about how when where why how
“how can you live this way?” “how can you manage?”

I feel lost and i love it.

don’t judge….

i know i know i know i know

i know

that I don’t know…. :)

but i don’t mind
but i don’t mind mind

stance with me
you will see

i know i know i know i know

i know
i don’t know…

anything….

i mean, i know…

oh, say!

take it slow
low
take it slow
no ice
thank you
i’ll take it straight

i think i’ll stay awhile

even when im not here
im here

right here
right here

dega dega dega dega day

the leaves blow so nice in the wind
i'm lost in your
don't make me apologize
don't you see that the trees like it when i talk like this ?
please don't judge and...

i think, i wanna stay awhile
stay a while still

i feel like…
still
and i like it…
and i like it…

and i like it.

and i see more
and more and more

im lost… in your….

lost in your…

wow, wow, wow, ……………..

I'll Find a Way (Erhu) - Arma Ignifera & Myrh

Vincent van Gogh passed away July 29th, 1890,
“Vincent’s Letter” was released July 29th, 2020

I figured there’s no better time than 130 years later…

When I was very young, I had dreams about his paintings. 
 His paintings inspired a deep love in me for art at an early age, and I wanted to be a painter like him

 Music won me over, but I remember being about 10 or so - when I first started playing music a lot - and I promised this self-portrait painting of Van Gogh that I’d write a song (or several) for him that a lot of people would hear.  Yea I made a verbal promise to a painting.  
It wasn’t the first or last time...  I was a weird kid.

The funny thing is?  This isn't even Van Gogh, as I much later found out.  It's "Dr. Gatchet", who was a physician who was treating Van Gogh.  Vincent painted him, and they actually look a lot alike!  But I made the promise to this painting, so here it is
   I hope you enjoy it
_____________________________

Vincent’s Letter
____________________
home, it’s a little loud
a love breaks me down every day
a little more, she comes & slips away
my love hurts me now
a little more every day
love simply breaks me down, 
a little more every day
I’m hearing you crying inside,
 why don’t you look outside and find yourself?
I’m trying every day, a little more in every way

my heart, my hands are sleepy
my foot is stomping on the paint
a little love, colors break my heart
a little more every day, 
a little love, comes in breaks my heart
a little more every day
a little love, cousin, breaks my heart
a little more every day

my home, will you break me down?
a little more every day
our love, cousin, breaks me too
a little more every day…
a little home, my!…
crazies out of the sky!
it’s a yellow one!
I’m wondering why?
I got my heart beating still
mixed together with the colors that spill
I got my heart cousin
a little more every day
heavens harps, cousin, come to break me down
a little more every day

lobotomizing the connections

where do we find ourselves
can we even perceive?
without having shifted since the
narration of time

once we were so small
now we are so big?

we ourselves observe us
hyper-so
to the point of canabalitics
misunderstanding our origin
and the nature
of it all

OUR WORK
______________
Objects get lost
Thoughts vanish unfathomed
Feelings are so often disguised.

Chiselling off the surface…

In the grip of tools
our hope, like rock, is dust –
Almost soft.

Pound dried to packed dust
packed form to particle.

If this dust is not buried, lost in our fears
or tossed to the wind.
If the dust is rich with our will,
Our meal it shall be.

COMPLETELY

even though you’re free
you still have to offer yourself

to me

i know you are free as the fleeting snow flake;
who knows your destiny?
who among us could judge your faith?

how can i be so dear to you?
how do you dare to be at my side?

even though you are free
you still have to offer yourself
completely.

I REST MY HEELS
______________
shadow is falling beloved…
this shadow of mine
is falling, finally,
at your feet…

i have traveled far on mine;
and with my face to your bare toes, I rest my heels

ONCE WE WERE TREES
________________________
once when we were trees
up on the hill
our branches touched
our roots embraced
and together, we held the soil.

Lyrics based on this poem from my chapbook These Tales Are True
https://tarka1.bandcamp.com/merch/these-tales-are-true
PUSH FOR CHANGE (The Mere Request for Change)
here is the excerpt used in the song:
_________________________________________________________
its that time again to push
for change
push coming to shove
as the moon cycle comes into full swing

scarlet smell of oldness
and the mere request for change 
becomes a full blown criticism

and i feel ugly 
and my house 
is a mess
and people are calling me 
and wanting an explanation 
and the missing women
are still missing
(and the missing women are dead*)

....

the one love in the past 
and in the present

the dentist
the optometrist 
the oral surgeon 
the audiologist
the hair straightener 
the shoes
the bag
the activity and inactivity 
the passion and drama

the singing 
the singing

the push to change 
the push for more

it’s not enough
the fight is never over 
the flourishing
is always happening

even when the winter comes 
and the withering begins 
my body chases my soul 
from sleep to awakedness

it's that time again
to Push For Change

*this poem was written during my involvement with a project related to missing & murdered women in British Columbia, Canada.

The Mere Request for Change | of mystique & myrcury

_____________________
Transcendental meditation or cumulative life adversities may both lead
to ego death. For example, at the vantage point of crisis when no 
reprieve seems in sight sometimes we feel lost inside an inner universe 
and our senses intermingle, giving us a chance to reach out to an unexpected
reality. Just like the (fake?) lost cosmonaut whose voice can be heard
at the end of this track (sampled from youtu.be/E2EtIKnxB2o), we
then feel that our identity and individuality are about to explode, and
we merge into cosmic energy, be it a temporary or permanent experience. 
The sound of the inner voice informs the body, mind, soul, spirit, both 
the objective and subjective points of perception and we remember that 
inside ourselves there is a microcosm of resource as vast as the cosmos. 
That is to … see (a) sound. A nugget of pure wisdom & guidance.

Return to Us

Robert Pollard - one of the greatest songwriters of our time

Subspace Biographies (Robert Pollard cover)

Here we are, in Wales, in another lockdown! 
The best cure for the blues is, of course, loud guitars. So here is another collab from Llanpsych https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych and myself. Fans of Tom Petty may recognise the tune (at least we hope so!).

Tez played all the brilliant guitars and drum track. I rewrote the TP lyric slightly, sang it and added bass. 
We hope you enjoy!

We're In Lockdown

Well, we're in  lockdown
We can't leave the town
I could take you up to Llandridnod Wells
But we're all locked down

I'm standing on my ground
Because we're all homebound
Gotta wear a mask, avoid the beer cask
And we're in lockdown
Can't have my friends around

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've all gone to ground
And I must lock down

Well, I'll wash my hands
And I can't see no bands
We all miss the pub and the restaurant grub
We can't leave the town 
Because we're all homebound
And I must lock down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I've just gone to ground
And I am locked down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I hate lockdown

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've gone to ground
In our Welsh compound

We're In Lockdown (Collab with Llanpsych - using a Tom Petty tune)

Whoa Don
Where have you gone?

In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on
Baby shake those cakes
Easy bake

Mr. Cornelius
Can’t you see our need for you is serious?
Pick a song and send the dance delirious
Don’t you know you are so
Dear to us
Oh Don Cornelius
Mister hip luxurious
Damn she moves like a snake
Slow motion heartbreak

Here comes the train
Had no idea you were in pain
Should have made our love for you
Much more plain
While you were still
In the frame
Riding the train
Mister Soul champaign
Mister Soul Champaign

Oh look at those shoes
She is the news

Where have you gone?
In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on

Don Cornelius (Lyrics & Vocals Jon Lock)

Let's Kick Next Year's Ass (Before It Does It Again)

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

I'm not lying I think next year is going to be worse
this year was an ambulance and next year could be a hearse

I'm going into this thing feeling like a blank verse
the only future I can see is looking so perverse

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

I'm not lying I think next year is going to be tough
but I'm not worried, I like the weird stuff

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

Let's Kick Next Year's Ass (Before It Does It Again)

This My Shit

great appreciation to a
network of enchanted,
conscious music,
enabling me to weave
a poetry of resilience.
journeying to mystic places,
reflection, projected in waves of rhythm.
feeling home in melodies
made of new and old.
paintings to spark the soul.
