Really interesting progression of sound/intensity

Dark Matter Conversion

You always meant to
Put things right
You always meant to
Make amends
Twas your intent
Someday it's right
No argument
We'll still be friends

Now we've gone too far down that road
We've lost sight of the way
Erosion wears down the biggest stone
Leaves little left to say

I alway meant to
Do what's right
To be the one
To count on
Lose the need for
Fight or flight
Opportunity's gone

I Always Meant to

After a gorgeous Easter long weekend here, my thoughts have turned to summer. Not quite there yet, but enough warmth to think of gardens, colour and...the arrival of ominous smog and haze of urban centers. I relocated from the urban sprawl of what we called "The Big Smoke" of the Toronto area.  I think, the threat of air pollution, especially in the sweltering heat of summer, always makes me mindful of the thin line and tipping point (1.5 degrees C) of global warming. The summer of 2023 left much of North America reeling from the haze of smoke from hundreds of wildfires in Canada's north.Wearing masks to protect, not from Covid, from PM (particulate Matter of 2.5 in Ontario! Toronto was the worst for particulate matter in the world in June 2023)

Haze
    I love the haze of summer … ah
    1) Short path to the shore
    Secret place, we’ve been before
    A little piece of heaven no one knows
    Quiet time for you and me
    On the beach near to the sea
    A little piece of heaven no one knows
    Ooh – ah…This where the buck stops (x4)
    EVERYBODY’S DREAMING…OF MORE SUNNY DAYS
    BUT CAN’T YOU SEE WE’RE STEAMING …IN THE HAZE?
    2) How long can it last
    Relegated to the past
    Something once forgotten never found
    Just take a little care
    I want to feel it’s always there
    Something once forgotten never found
    Ooh – ah    (x12) 
    (INST)  
    (CHORUS)
    3) Warm days, running dry
    Changing times, a leaden sky
    Is there a piece of heaven no one knows?
    Radiation, in the sand       
    A lasting legend, to our land     
    Is there a piece of heaven no one knows?
    Ha…ya…ya…ze!  (x3)
    (CHORUS)
    I loved the haze of summer …

Lyrics:-
When you're feeling down and out and don't know what to do
You don't know how to turn around what's making you so blue

The remedy's inside of your heart
You just can't find the spark
The melody of hope is still playing
In the dark

Ooh The best is yet to come
Oh Darling
Ooh The best is yet to come

Have you heard the saying the darkest hour's before the dawn
Everything is learning and then you find the perfect storm

The remedy's inside of your heart
You just can't find the spark
The melody of hope is still playing
In the dark

Ooh The best is yet to come
Oh Darling
Ooh The best is yet to come

When you're feeling down and out and don't know what to do
Just don't give up till answers are flowing

The remedy's inside of your heart
You just can't find the spark
The melody of hope is still playing
In the dark

Ooh The best is yet to come
Oh Darling
Ooh The best is yet to come

Whilst transfering files from my laptop to my new computer I came across this unfinished project I'd started just before the first lockdown. Then along with my other problems concerning my hearing this was another that got put on hold. Originally written for a vocal  which because of life sadly did'nt work out I decided to  add some guitar, a string ensemble and a horn section to fill out the sound. I'm happy I found it. I hope you enjoy and thanks for all your great support!!

The wind of hope
Rushes through the night 
Like a swift bird passing by 
And a love light shines 
Silver in the distance
Where fatigue and sadness leave
And a need appears

I’m waiting to meet you 
On an endless road
With a free wind blowing even more

And you are a stranger
You are one of those
That could help inflame
inflame my soul

Now sadness plays the blues 
Without notes or beats
With a strong desire to erase 
Blank faces in the street


What you perceive 
Has just cooled inside
But the past, like a dream
Will always warm your cry 


I’m waiting to meet you 
On an endless road
With a free wind blowing even more

And you are a stranger
You are one of those
That could help inflame
inflame my soul

Endless Road

'rumbustious'

Scotty: lyrics, vocals
Falsestart: everything else

Let me tell you 'bout the day I had.
I woke up feelin' worse than nothin'.
And I still was half in the bag.
I had to burn one down just to function.
Last night, all the fun we had,
it turns out, it amounted to somethin'.
Didn't notice all of the red flags
until my face was made a bag for punchin'. 

Well, I guess that's what you get
when your whistle's wet
and you're not on your own
and your friends bum cigarettes 
from some pimp who's vexed
you've got no interest to get blown. 

Late for work and the boss was mad,
indicatin' that I smelt of somethin'.
She voiced concerns that my eyes were both black
and that my overall look was disgustin'.
After that, she took a step back,
turned and said, 'Forget about punchin'
in today.' Well, hooray, I'm glad.
Still, the bills pile and bend me for fuckin'. 

Well, I'm sittin' at home
and I'm scratching my dome
'cause I just don't quite know what to do.
So, I'm singing my song.
Surely it won't be long
until they start charging us for that, too.
Oh, wait, they do!

The Coming Of The King

Angels gather for war.

Scotty. (almost) everywhere. Hasty home recordings in between realities while the children are (sometimes) quiet or at their mom's.
