A few songs recorded via iPhone of me singing and playing acoustic guitar.

Perpetuity

Hidden

A badly recorded and badly sung first rough draft of a song I recently finished writing which is about all those difficult conversations we have with the people we love. It's a song of encouragement to keep going.

Red Pill

Three songs touching on being lost, sharing ourselves, speaking the truth, pain, love & life.

All this time, you know, I’ve been waiting, for a single sign
All this time, you know, I’ve been waiting, for you

This Time

Once on a time, I came into this world
I opened my eyes, what I saw there was absurd
Bright lights and lies, and crazy boys and girls
Hoping to find, that secret peace of mind that comes only from knowing the truth

“Maybe it’s riches
Maybe it’s romance
Maybe it’s comfort
Maybe it’s all chance”

You never were shown
You never were known
You never were led down the path to see

The story unfolds, the girls and boys are old
Up to their necks, in theories they’ve been told
They see something’s missing, but they don’t know where to look
The TV? A relative? The pages of a book can’t reveal what they most need to find

“Maybe it’s riches
Maybe it’s romance
Maybe it’s comfort
Maybe it’s all chance”

You never were shown
You never were known
You never were led down the path to see 

That maybe you’ve always known you were hidden, and it seems
That maybe you’ve always known you were hidden, and it seems
That maybe you’ve always known you were hidden, and it seems
That maybe you’ve always known you were hidden

Screw YouTube, you can sit on my Facebook
LinkedInnocence lost, all Twitternedd around
TikTok the boxes, Instagramputee
WeChattack our friends, with WhatsApprehension

Facebook has no face
YouTube is not you

TikTok kills your time, WeChat but don’t talk
You said you Reddit, but the Facebook is closed
Telegramparents, SnapChattitude rules
PintereSTD, Redditch you can’t scratch

 Twitturd can’t be polished
LinkedInsanity

Now we sink into the world of the black mirror
We don’t really know where it ends
We give our time and attention to pixels
Instead of our family and friends
I’m as guilty as the next when I do this
It’s hard to break out of the cell
But if we don’t we’ll be in hell

Googullible, Wikipedophiles ruling
Amazon your knees, it’s your destineBay

Facebook has no face
YouTube is not yourself

Hey everybody this is your government here, 
got a very important announcement to make, 
So thanks for joining

Have you heard, about the tiny microscopic world
It’s everywhere, on your skin, under your nails and in your hair
I am here to warn you, about the dangers lurking there that you face every day
There is a hidden enemy who’s waging war and looking for the death of all your mates

Wash your hands, wear a mask, stay inside
There is nothing left to do, just run and hide
You can have your life back when the threat subsides
But that could be quite a while cos you’re inside……  1 9 8 4!

Hi everybody, thanks for joining me again tonight
This is your government, we’ve got some more information

The battle rages on, half of everyone you know is dead and gone
Maybe that’s a slight exaggeration but the danger’s real and you should feel alarmed
And now we’ve got a new variety of enemy who just stepped up to join the race
We really are in trouble now, because it stands we can’t rely on hands and face and space

What we need is a plan of attack
Cos the virus really is changing fast
It has learned to get around lockdowns and masks
What we really need to give you is a vax……  Brave New World yo!

Hello everybody! Thanks for joining us, 
you’re doing really well, just another vital update

We’re happy to report, you’re doing fab, you got the jab without a second thought
Now that you’re immune, we promise that we’ll give you back your freedom soon
Wait what’s this? Hold on a minute! Stop right there, hold the phone, some data came in late
You’re not gonna believe this but the vaccine we just gave you caused the virus to mutate

What we need is a plan of attack
cos the (???)
I know we said we would give your freedom back
But it’s just too dangerous and that’s a fact……  1 9 8 4 

This is a war that never ends, until we all stop running
We need to not be afraid and hug our Granny

We’re being lied to every day, and it’s not funny
We need to go outside and hug our Granny

We need to ignore what the government say, Cos they wanna kill your family
And if you got one, you should hug your Granny

This is a war that never ends
This is a war that never ends
This is a war that never ends

This is a war that never ends
This is a war that never ends 
And if you got one you should hug your Granny

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.” - George Orwell, 1984

Control is how the cunts roll
Control is how the cunts roll
Control is how the cunts roll

So you think you’re free
Just try and do something without money
And when the rivers are dry
Just see how good your piles of cash taste when you fry them in your
non-existent butter

Control is how the cunts roll
Control is how the cunts roll
Control is how the cunts roll

It’s always, been a battle between, Freedom and the slaves
Our controllers don’t want us to see that we
have the power to change 
And all we need to do is get up a say 
Fuck you we don’t want to live inside this 
Fucking hell anymore

Control is how the cunts roll
Control is how the cunts roll
Control is how the cunts roll

Control

We know something is missing
That broken time won’t come back again
No hugs, no breaths
Only silence in the streets
Empty words, empty promises flow
Through the pebbled rivers
Movement and rhythm, our last hidden shelter
Our dreams fly high 
We found the precious way
The sun shines, can’t stop staring
The wind moves to hide all that
This is the real cry
I can’t keep it forever on me
I can’t keep it forever on me 
I can’t keep it forever on me
I can’t keep it

Forever On Me

When you were born, you woke up, and you cried at the Sun
It was a shock, life unblocked, but you started to run

And we know, That we’re all, Being thrust, into Oblivion
It’s all the same, Love, fear and pain

Living your life, it’s a ride, there are troubles ahead
But not only that, over time, love, joy, truth fill your head

And we know, That we’re all, Being thrust, into Oblivion
It’s all the same, Love, fear and pain (it’s the truth)
Love without shame, that is your name

(Guitar)

After the pain, comes the peace, and the knowledge you’ve gained
Rinse and repeat, this is life, and it tastes bittersweet

And we know, That we’re all, Being thrust, into Oblivion
It’s all the same, Love, fear and pain
Love without shame, that is your name

Home

Everyone’s scared, it’s been a hard year
You’re doing your bit, but you still live in fear
Lockdowns and facemasks, no end in sight
We need a solution, cos this isn’t right

You know I’ve been thinking
Something we can do
Our children they need us, to…

Resist the pricks, don’t let anyone tell you what to do
Resist the pricks, you can think for yourself yes it’s true
Resist the pricks, and say thank you but no thank your
Resist the pricks, it’s the only way

It might be upsetting, to know you’ve been fooled
But we can’t keep letting, the psycopaths rule
The truth is alarming, the lockdowns a farce
The masks are just muzzels, to keep us apart

You know I’ve been thinking
Something we can do
Our children they need us, to…

Resist the pricks, don’t let anyone tell you what to do
Resist the pricks, you can think for yourself yes it’s true
Resist the pricks, and say thank you but no thank your
Resist the pricks, it’s the only way

Governments lie, what WMDs?!
They keep us divided, they do as they please
Regardless of age, your race, gender or height
They’re coming for all of us, we’re neck deep in shite

You know I’ve been thinking
Something we can do
Our children they need us, to…

Resist the pricks, don’t let anyone tell you what to do
Resist the pricks, you can think for yourself yes it’s true
Resist the pricks, and say thank you but no thank your
Resist the pricks, it’s the only way

Resist the pricks, they want all of us caged in a zoo
Resist the pricks, they want Granny and Granddad there too
Resist the pricks, or your kids will be taken from you
Resist the pricks, it’s the only way

Resist the pricks, your immune system knows what to do
Resist the pricks, get some sunlight and cold showers too
Resist the pricks, there’s no running away from the flu
Resist the pricks, it’s the only way

Resist the pricks, don’t eat crap, don’t get fat, stay in tune
Resist the pricks, educate yourself and your kids too
Resist the pricks, you are sovereign and free to be you
Resist the pricks, it’s the only way

I talked to my brother, the other day and he was feeling fine
I wanted to tell him what’s on my mind

ME: “Have you heard about Event 201? It really is a trip.
They predicted that a virus would arrive
Months before it happened Bill and Melinda were on the scene
Figuring out how we could survive”

BRO: “But that’s what they do, these philanthropic people love you, 
they just want to help by giving away their wealth!”

ME: “But you don’t you think it’s weird that their investments coincide
with this situation and they’re getting super rich?!”

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink, and that’s alright
Even horses can choose suicide
You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can’t make them think, and that’s alright
But I really hope you try to

I talked to my Mother the other day, and she was feeling fine
I wanted to tell her what’s on my mind

ME: “Take Oxford Astra Zeneca they really shouldn’t have you trust
Whitney Webb exposed they’re trying to kill us
It’s a profit driven motive to inject the whole world’s population, again and again
as the new strains come around”

MUM: “Well that can’t be true, these vaccine manufacturers love you,
They’re tirelessly working away to save Granny and you!”

ME: “Their legacy picks up where eugenics left off in WWII
It never left us, it just went deep underground”

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it think(?), and that’s alright
Even horses can choose suicide
You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can’t make them think, and that’s alright
But I really hope you try to

I talked to my Father, the other day and he was feeling fine
I wanted to tell him what’s on my mind

ME: “Are you aware of the agenda to enslave the globe? 
It’s called Technocracy and they want absolute control
Tracking, tracing, data-mining it’s the new oil, don’t you know?
We are heading into 1984”

DAD: “Can’t believe what you say, I just want my jab so I can go on holiday
I can’t believe the scope and size of the lies and I don’t want to try”

ME: “But if you don’t sooner or later they’ll be kicking down your door, 
it’s happened before and the writing’s on the wall”

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink, and that’s alright
Even horses can choose suicide
You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can’t make them thinking, and that’s alright
But I really hope you try to

Dont
Give
Up

We only want you to open your eyes
We only want you to open your mind
We only want you to open your hearts and break the Matrix

Tell your stories many times
And I think that you will find
There are many people who
Give a fuck about you

When it seems you’re alone
You can just pick up the phone
Try your best not to moan
And speak your truth

But I can’t promise that they’ll be nice
You might trigger some complexity within them
If you do, pay attention, and listen good
There is happiness to find... when you’re better understood
Better understood

Tell the stories of your life
Don’t be scared to speak your mind
Share the universe inside it’s a wonderful place

Even if you think it’s not
Please don’t let your insides rot
Share that shit with all your mates
And a smile on your face

They will react, that is a fact, it can be hell
To conflict and contradict is second nature
Be persistent, share your wisdom and show some grit
Communication of the truth, helps us all be understood
Better understood

I don’t know what they’re thinking 
(it could be good, it could be bad)
Think I’ll just sit here drinking
If this is you then you must

Tell your story many times 
And I think that you will find
There are many people who give a fuck about you

When it seems that you’re alone
You can just pick up the phone
Try your best not to moan, and speak your truth

But I can’t promise that they’ll be nice
You might trigger some complexity within them
If you do, pay attention, and listen good
There is happiness to find
When you’re better understood

Stories

Walking on the beach
Stars above and at my feet
The air is oh so sweet
And this is where we meet

And I look down
And you look up
You’re on the ground
I am above

I don’t know you
You don’t know me
But we don’t know together

The sleepy sea retreats
You’re lying dry at my feet
You clearly need relief
And I can sense your grief

And I look down
Then you look up
You’re on the ground
I am above

Words can’t heal the pain
You don’t have a brain
You’re a starfish
I’m a starman
I don’t know you 
And I never can
But we don’t know together

(Guitar)

I don’t know you 
And I never can
You’re a starfish
I’m a starman

And we are stars together

You’re going back in the sea
It’s where you most need to be
One day you’ll thank me
When you’re back in the sea

Words can’t heal the pain
You don’t have a brain

Locked down with no relief, I need some
New ways to make ends meet, I listen
To James and his reports, he’s talking to a guy on Grand Theft World
I’m thinking
Who is he? Look at that library! It’s really something to behold!

So I write in a search engine, the name of Richard Grove
Turns out he’s the man, who teaches all about Autonomy
A Swiss army knife for life, and a skeleton key for success

Now I learn from the best, he taught me integrity and freedom

If you’re freaking out about the economy
And how it’s going to impact your gastronomy
Maybe it’s time you got some Autonomy

Now I live a life of abundance
I’m always looking for ways to be of service
I spend my time online helping students gain traction
So they can grow in the light direction
it’s sweet

One day we’ll all meet in a free world

Free World

Ideas recorded via the Memos app for iPhone

Family!

Two songs, one idea.  

The first (Always Awakeish) is an older, badly played song idea with shy, lethargic vocals ("Finally!" I can hear you cry with joy, "Nick sings!") which was then rehashed and rerecorded moments ago. 

Lyrics:

And when I wake up next to you, it's been too long. I don't know what your eyes can see, I'll never know. But I'm always awake and up for you. 

WARNING: The first track will probably turn you off - power through. It's worth it.

Always Awake

A well-traveled, book-reading, path-beating, meditating, meat-eating vagabond with a guitar.
