“Can you hem the edges of your mind” love that!  Interesting major chord resolutions in the progression, the clav?  in the later verse is a perfect touch, **applauding**

loving the sewing / stitching metaphors...great songwriting

Super catchy track you laid down here!  Really nice job on the production and mix :)

nice, also again the vocals, very good recording and mixing and effects (whatever it might be)

very well crafted... I don't understand fully the hidden meaning, but I admit I feel you're very accomplished as a singer and musician.

A song in which we channel our inner Portishead........

I guess it was just my own world
After all
Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion

Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in pleasantly 
And good as in sublimely
Good as in nothing wanting
As in I thought you were just too good to be true

CHORUS
Who was the one
Who always said forever and ever
Don’t forget
Who was the one who always said
We were a perfect fit
Who was the one 
Who had no doubt 
The future lay right ahead of us
Who was the one who said
That we were all that we needed
Don’t forget (x3)
It was I all along

Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion

Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in completely
And good as in oh so very cleverly
And good as in I was good and gone for you 
As in you had me hook line and sinker good

Repeat CHORUS

Oh you fooled me good
Oh so good
As in your disguise was crafted with care
But I had no idea 
They made those costumes
In such a slim fit

Mistakes And All - The Brass REDUX By TheGat(s)

Skating Away (cover)



I am thinking, "No,
things shouldn't be this way.."
I am thinking how
I could be falling prey...

We have a common enemy, you and me
A flash of truth from your eyes 
to my eyes...
And all these mirrors 
held up to us
break brightness up 
They're breaking the brightness up...

You're taking the steep climb 
The rocks you packed around your heart 
Your spirit puts a panic on 
as is its habit.
You summon up a storm again,
I watch it rage around you..
Really don't want to join you there:
Don't drag me in...

This is your weather,
Not mine...
This is your weather,
Not mine...
This is your weather,
Not mine, 
Not mine...

Can you hem the edges of your mind?
Your spirit is so flyaway 
You shred up your old name 
Every nerve taut and frayed
The roar levels all, levels all...
You draw in smoke to get some air
You sit in to the drowning box
and dig your heels in there 

This is your weather,
Not mine...
This is your weather,
Not mine...
This is your weather,
Not mine, 
Not mine...

Things aren't clear from here -
You're in your fury; I'm in the fog -
I don't know the right words,
I don't know the code, 
I don't have it!

And you've got some rage to spend,
my darlin, 
but you've got nothing to burn
And you've got some rage to spend,
my darlin, 
but you've got nothing to burn...





COMMON ENEMY

my feelings still remain

I've made a most simple cyclic drum keyboard loop backing, which merciless goes over this 10 minute meditation, so it's all about the sax ;-) .... a simple story told in a very sprawling way :-) The Gershwin quote came naturally yesterday, during my first improvisation; with this in mind, here is my second pass in one go :-D ............ image: John Cobb, unsplash

... and the livin' is easy

Self indulgent, yes. Polishing a turd, maybe....but It's done now. Thanks to Mark for the re-master. One of the songs I'm most proud of, I hope you enjoy it. Steve ASW

Midnight Mass

Knocking on heavens door

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Niamh McKinney is a singer-songwriter from Wicklow. Having kept notebooks of poetry since childhood, she didn't start writing songs until one day in 2015, when songs suddenly started pouring out. Unsure as to the nature of what she had composed during this first creative burst, a form of validation came a month later when she won the Allingham Songwriting Competition with one of the first songs she wrote.
      Poetically rich - both lyrically and melodically - her heart-rending songs draw on stories and life experience, captivating by way of their ethereal sense of urgency and foreboding.
     Niamh writes her songs a capella. Her musical partner and husband Stephen McKinney (who has previously played guitar and synths with prog rock fusion band Leo Drezden) then crafts evocative guitar accompaniment which interweaves seamlessly with the songs, complementing their haunting quality. The two are currently working on producing their debut album.
