Cloud Occlusion-45

Wearing Thin

This track is a collaboration between winkandwoo and myself.  It contains my ‘On the Line’ track from the Free Flowing Torrents EP from 2016, which was reimagined by winkandwoo and transformed into a completely new track.  The original can still be heard amongst the new elements, which include additional synth sounds, with winkandwoo’s cool vocals leading at the front of this.  

Hopefully future collaboration will follow on from this.

Making Our Noise 
chk chk chk chk chk chk
Da da da da
This ole world
Is leadin' me nowhere
I wanna make changes 
I wanna make some noise
The day is over
The lights come on
It's a brand new world
We're gonna have some fun
We don't need anybody
To help us make our choice
Day is over and the lights are on
 We're gonna Make our noise

And we're making our noise

What's your story
What's your game
What's your hurry
Huh what's your name
 
And we're making our noise
What do ya say
And we're making our noise
Everybody
And we're making our noise

Heartbeats are pounding
Beat, Face and voice
Hands to the ceiling 
Baby 'cause we're
Making our noise

And we're making our noise

Yeah !

Let me hear your voice !

This ole world
Is getting me nowhere
Got to make changes 
I gotta make some noise
New horizon round the next corner
Brave new world

Making Our Noise - winkandwoo Featuring Black Eye Butterfly

Another mellow track, I can't help it at the moment. A bit like The XX and a bit like Peter Green.. and a bit Country.

A Japanese dance troupe celebrating Hinamatsuri discovered this dangerous waltz procedure inside an un-pulled and otherwise empty Christmas cracker in an underground bunker in Buckingham Palaces' grounds after an early Spring  garden party. 

It is a secret service adaption of a native South African weaponised waltz; used to protect one from unwanted advances for several minutes when sober. 
(Allegedly less effective if cardboard party hats are present in large numbers.)

To initiate the strike just shout the trigger  "hitch-hiker" to the band leader who will immediately start the secret count (1 and 2 and 3 and 1 2 3 and 4)and the following melee of winded dancers and limb dislocations should ensure a safe exit for the agent. 

Generally only used as a last resort by UK secret services due to the unpredictable depth of collateral damage and abnormal level of vituperative complaints from adjacent dwellings.

RUNNING AWAY

When you've climbed up the mountain
All you can see are rivers running away
Running away
Running away

Our rivers...

Running away

RUNNING AWAY

To live is to evolve, to change, to learn, and to adapt. Life teaches us hard lessons and to those who don't learn from past mistakes, these lessons repeat themselves. In a world where memories are not only kept in our minds but are also stored digitally it can be difficult to break the ties with history, yet it is essential to Never Look Back. The great ones learn quickly from their mistakes and move on, not spending unnecessary time thinking of past event. Set your goals, make mistakes, learn, and move on. In order to achieve anything, the past should remain there, in the past, and the focus should be on the now and the future. 

As always, thanks for the support.

LORETTA Pt. 1

Oh Loretta
What have you done?

Now the rain is going to wash your high-heeled clicks away
Back the way you came

Oh Loretta
What have you done?
You broke a big man
You made it look fun

Now the rain is going to wash your high-heeled clicks away
Back the way you came

Oh Loretta
What have you done?

Loretta - Pt. 1

BUTTER KNIFE HEAVEN (BOP BOP)

@Rick-4-1: Well, he played drums on this, if you can call it just that. It's something much bigger really, it's like the hairs on the back of your neck on new batteries for the first time in your life.
@phil-mcwalter: Well, just the other stuff.

Enjoy heaven.

PLAY IT LOUDER

Heaven

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I got it right first time 
When I was young and pure like heaven
But it’s never been as good
In fact it’s been as rough as wood
And it’s splintered me

I sort of forgot
How it's supposed to be hot
And when it had gone cold
And I looked at what I'd got
It was not a lot

I’ve wasted some time 
Heaven
Well most of our lives 
Heaven
It feels like a crime
Sharp as a butter knife
I’ve been spread too thin
By kith and kin

Original sin
But not so original
I should have told the Pope
That there was no hope
And what would you know 
He’d agreed with me
It’s not a great story
Not bloody or gory
You just get one shot
And I must have given mine to someone else
It should have ended my game
But I’ve passed it on
It’s a little bit lame 
Just the same
Like everything else 
Bop Bop
I’m now at a full stop
Bop Bop
It’s just a pensioner’s bus-hop away 
(Anyway)

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I think I have forgotten (How to say goodbye)
How to end it all

It’s just been a waste
Heaven
A copy and paste 
Heaven 
I haven’t been traced
Lost or misplaced
I feel debased 
And disgraced
It leaves a bitter 
Aftertaste
But I aint crying
I’ve just been sprayed with Mace…

Bop Bop

Heaven…

So excited! Just had to have some fun and try nearly everything out! Mostly loud things and more louder things!!! Proper horns, real feedback, the brilliant Rick-4-1 via the real internet (finally connected thank heavens!)and general musical escapism!!!

Oh and a nod towards Bach's second Bourrée from the English Suite in the middle. Sorry Johann!

Loretta - Part II

There was interest in the further story of Loretta (a fictional character originally appearing in The Beatles track 'Get Back' and then revisited in my track 'Loretta - Part I' ), so I wrote this sequel 'Part II'; in which Loretta ignores the advice she receives...

LORETTA - PART II

Loretta Martin
Didn’t want to be another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
   She gets it while she can

Sweet Loretta Martin
She broke a big man’s heart
You didn’t have to do it
You shouldn’t have made it hurt
All the girls around you watch the moves you’re making
Tell you to listen to your heart
But you get it while you can 
   She gets it while she can

Oh Loretta...

Older women round you tell you to be careful
But you can steal it from them 
She gets it while she can
  She gets it while she can
The cars waiting at the lights can see you coming
And you please them ‘cos you can
She gets it while she can
   She gets it while she can
   She gets it while she can

What have you done?

Loretta - Pt. 2

Imagine for a moment being in a room with our creator, and being told of all the secrets of our universe. All of humanities petty fights would suddenly be insignificant as we realize the power that has been instilled in each of us. The battle for our minds continues daily, it is a real battle and the sooner we understand this and harness our own power, the better. In order to change the external, we have to adjust the internal. We are only given what our minds understand, we are where we are in life because of our limited understanding. Instead of feeding our minds with mindless distraction, let's learn, lets progress, lets get better each day and become what we were always meant to be.

INGRID'S HAT

Driving down the coast road
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like (that)

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like (that)

Oh can we do it?
Oh can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

They came in in inflatables
But they weren’t looking for Ingrid’s hat
We spent some money dressing up the corpse
No-one had learned a move like (that)

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like (that)

Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

But we don’t wanna see where the birdie goes

Give me emotion (Bow wow wow)
Lend me the potion (Bow wow wow)
Rub me in lotion (Bow wow wow)
Give me the motion (Bow wow wow)
We need ambrosia
Because it’s cosier
Feed the gods with that bowl 
Feed the gods with that bowl there

Driving down the coast road 
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like (that)

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like (that)

Oh can we do it?
But can we do it tonight? (Bow wow wow)
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight? (Bow wow wow)

OPEN COLLAB - (Loretta) Free Download

Michelangelo striving for perfection with a second-hand, mediocre block of marble and then purposely giving the 'too perfect' David a squint.
Three buses come after you've waited for ages.
Goldilocks and The Three Bears and baby bear's stolen expectations.
The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse (The fourth; Pestilence, had a sick note as usual).
These things are three a penny so:
Take your Pict, your Threepenny Opera, build your Bridge Of Clay, discover who really wrote 'The Quarryman', don't miss the bus and keep a firm grip on your Breakfast of Champions before you're too old as Vonnegut would tell you. We thought it was just Death and Taxes but THREE have come at once. The world's not going too well is it...


THREE HAVE COME AT ONCE

Through the eyes of statues
You can watch the changes change
From the times before a long time ago
Everything is different
Everything stays the same
That’s an old saying
That never really goes lame
Oh tell me again and
I’ll still laugh
 
Well the politicians knew it
They’re not in charge they just blew it
It feels a little better with something else to do
So the hippies all got jobs
	The world needed saving
Half of it is plastic (and I'm)
Counting all the people
Aaah just pay your taxes and
Take a long holiday

It feels like three have come at once
And someone's eaten all my porridge
It feels like three have come at once
And there’s someone asleep in my bed

Wake me up!
Please?!?

Working for the Big Man
Never meant so little
Nothing changes and nothing stays the same
Keep rowing the trireme to the beat of that drum
We’ll be Roman in the gloaming in Scotland having fun (Take your Pict)
Well that’s an old one
Just never heard it before
Tell it me again with a beer guarantee I’ll laugh

Michelangelo
The Quarryman

Wake me up!

Through the eyes of this statue sucking a peppermint 
And David won’t look back at me
‘Cos he has got a squint
He’s looking towards Rome
	Not sure if it’s resentment
Maybe he’s not the true culprit
	You’ll just laugh and go and Google it
As sure as eggs is eggs
There’s death and taxes
But it feels like three have come at once

It feels like three have come at once
And someone's eaten all my porridge
It feels like three have come at once
And there’s someone asleep in my bed

Wake me up!
Please?!?

It feels like three have come at once
It feels like three 
Come at once!!!
Come at once!!!

Three Have Come At Once

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.

Join me and a lot of other artists at www.atomcollectorrecords.com.
Get more plays for your tracks and meet a lot of awesome people!
Cheers!
