BURNING UP

High wire of life

A few weeks ago I was approached by multi-instrumentalist Kenny Mitchell with a great rock ballad he'd originally scored in the early 80's, asking if I could write some lyrics and add vocals. 

This is the result, we hope you enjoy :)

Lyrics and vocals by me. 

Loosely based on a tragic local story....

"Where do I go ?"

It was a dark Friday night, she slipped from that house
Stepped out in the cold icy rain
Her shining red coat seemed to light up the night
But she never came home again
A young man stood waiting on the far side of the road
Headlight beam lifelines through the mist
He opened the door as she slipped from the cold
But she never saw the blade at his wrist

She said where do I go ?

They drove through the night, burned the roads to that house
Stepped out on the lonely high moor
Her gleaming white pearls seemed to melt in her grip
But she never understood their allure

The young man stood frozen as she cried for her mother
Tears nearly drowned his jealous blade in the flood
But he knew the painful truth, she loved another
And her pearls were found beaming with blood

She cried where do I go
Where do I go from here
She cried where do I go
Where do I go from here

A young girl lays silent, her cheeks white as clay
Her red coat now blacker than shame
Her story died with her, what she saw in that house
But her neck bore the killer's red name

On dark Winters nights, on the lonely high Moor
It’s said she steps out for to roam
Her cross stands alone in the shadow of the tor
But she never finds her way back home
(she cries)
where do I go from here 
where do I go from here, tell me
where do I go from here
where do I go from here

Worlds Are Forming

A new collaboration with my good friend Lee Lucas.
A talented singer and lyrics writer and his roots is in 70th rock just like me.

So here is our new song A canister of worms.

Lee Lucas: Vocals, lyrics and artwork.
Daion: Music, riffs and production.

Lee have done a music video too so here is a link to lee´s youtube channel.

Lyrics as follows.

Hey baby what is it with you
Have you got something you're trying to hide
The sun ain't shining when I'm around you lately
There's something eating you inside

I get this feeling your keeping something from me
Buried deep locked up inside
I can see it in your face
That look of fate
That might just hit me by surprise

Hey girl I don't know what you're going through
But I'm not to blind to see
There's something deep that's gotten inside of you
Something you need to set free

Dealing with your problems will rid you of this curse
That's spreading in you like a germ
Rub salt into the wound 
Don't be a fool
Let out this canister of worms

Hey babe you've bitten off more than you can chew
It may be an heavy cross to bear
But dealing with corruption is never an easy thing to do
It might even make such matters worse

It's a complicated situation where more problems may arise
That might be a cause for concern
Something more you'll have to face
Something you might hate
Just get out this canister of worms

Dealing with your problems will rid you of this curse
That's spreading in you like a germ
Rub salt into the wound 
Don't be a fool
Let out this canister of worms
Let out this canister of worms
Let out this canister of worms
Let out this canister of worms

Lots of fun with the analogue delay & chorus pedals over an insistent P-bass groove.
The Telecaster features in the outro...sometimes

Sometimes

Bot spoken merge of words by Marylin Whirlwind, from Northern Exposure, with The Zen koan about the Hundred Foot Pole, along the observation that if birds could speak, they in fact, wouldn't be able to fly! Mainly because, words are like boulders, they weigh us down! A chord progression I really like Dm Am Dm BbMaj7 C Dm7 G7 here as a backing for hopefully improving guitar solos, which are the true basis of my endevours! To soar like Gilmour ;-)

Failing Upwards

Wistman's Wood 2019 : The Hunt

March 29th 2019 sees the Five Year Anniversary of Napier's Bones and we'll be releasing an album of our personal favourites from the five albums : respectfully remixed and remastered with a few strategic overdubs.
Oh yes, we've even picked up a real live drummer for the birthday bash.
Wistman's Wood was the very first track and still exists in its original form here :

To whet your appetite we're posting this excerpt which sees our hero fleeing across the moonlit slopes of Dartmoor with the Devil's own hell-hounds in hot pursuit.

Wistmans Wood 2019 : The Hunt

Written by Terry Reeves.  
Arranged, Produced and Mixed by Gordon Midgley.  
https://soundcloud.com/gordon_m
https://soundcloud.com/napiers_bones

Gordon Midgley: Guitars, Bass, Percussion, Backing Vocals
Gary Reeves: Lead Vocal, Drums

This song’s about a bloke I know.  He tends to find life a bit difficult because he overly frets about stuff.  I mean, you and me might worry we’ll lose our loved-ones in some monstrous accident, but he’s the kind who’ll drive himself into towering anxiety about a remark he remembers making in 1973.  

So as a result, I suppose you’d say he’s something of a recluse, but will occasionally put in a surprise appearance, and invariably gets the very warmest of welcomes.  But although he does want to be, he’s not back.

Gordon has done such superb work on this song - he’s captured everything it is about and so much more.  Gal and me are incredibly lucky to be able to work with such a fine musician - he makes the process so pleasurable and so easy. 
(Terry Reeves)
  
NOT BACK

Alone again on my own
I don't know where the time has gone
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

Words of friendship in my head
Too many spaces with nothing said
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

CHORUS:
I don't know who I want to be
It's not me
I don't know who I want to see
It's not me
It's not me

Many friends say they understand
Distant echoes of a silent band
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

There's no witness to the tears I've cried
No Samaritan will live by my side
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

CHORUS

Waking silence a constant voice 
Answer questions not always by choice
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

Much to do but so much pain
Straining muscles inside my brain 
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

Middle instrumental break

CHORUS

Waiting moments a chance to breathe
Thinner air makes it harder to achieve 
But I'm not back 
And I'm not back again

Sideways thinking but nothing heard
One voice to keep you happy another voice to keep it blurred 
But I'm not back
And I'm not back again

No I'm not back.             
And I'm not back          
Again…

Not Back:  Cripple Club & Gordon M

Music for dreaming, floating, flying away...

Floating

This song started as a project in Spanish, with our virtual band La E-Union. Kirine adapted the  lyrics into an English version and it resulted into this symphonic ballad, a meditation on love and loss. Enjoy! 

Instrumental  composition: Alf Schumacher aka Spektralfarben
Melodic line, English lyrics and vocals: Kirine (https://soundcloud.com/kirine11)
