Good songwriting this. guitar sounds great too.

Good song and writing. I like the idea of walking around the North Sea. Like a Viking pilgrimage.

Yes, great song. I spot so many influences in it. Really great melange of what I like best :)

Sounds like a nice beach i want to go now!

The chords came about while improvising on my Hagstrom HJ800 guitar. The lyrics were inspired by watching watching a VPRO TV series of three Belgian travellers (Arnout Hauben, Philippe Niclaes, Ruben Callens ) walking around the North Sea.

Hornsea

Em     Bm       F#m
Let’s go round the North sea
   Am          G         C
To see how far we can go
B                    A               D
Through fog and rain on windswept cliffs
   D      E
Wherever the storm wind blows.

Chorus
 Em
Came upon the Hornsea
Where the coast was sinking fast
The future of the living here
Is written in the past

Navigate the sand dunes
beware of tidal floods
Keep your compass ready
when passing through the mud,

Like a tumble weed on a prairie
Or driftwood on the sea
Walk on the coastal trails
In the land without trees

Beyond our own shores
There’s a water world we don’t know
From shallows to trenches
To watch the blue wave glow.

Chorus

Came upon the Hornsea
Dolphins showed me the way
Sailing out of the harbour
as the night turned to day.

Till I Die Blaffy ft J.R & Skip Drizzle 2024

un nouveau chill en hommage cette fois au peintre Dufy, à ce peintre que j'adore pour la liberté absolue e son trait, son goût de la couleur, la légèreté et la simplicité qui rend son univers féérique

A Better World

© Pleudoniem 2024

You become sensitive to what may be lurking when you've seen enough that happened before it. 

All it really took

A princess on a pea
My skin is quite thin
Quickly daunted by the air
If there’s spinning within

To the innocent soul
Such a splendid finesse
May blindfold a tale
Of a papered offence

As I’d smelt too many rats
To still trust the cat
I’d seen too many flies
Proving shit in the water

So all it really took
Was an incoming breeze
And leaves that bristled up
That was all it really took

Ants legs in a whispered rain
On the march on the veins
Dreaded blood on my wings
So I took to the blue

To an unwitting soul
Such a challenging move
Looking patent and plain
Might seem natural

But
If it wasn’t for the soot
I’d still live in the woods
If it wasn’t for the pea
I’d still be sleeping

All It Really Took
