Lovely music here!! Great sound - great vocals and harmonies!

A really crafted composition and production

Strong melody! Excellent track all around!

Really appreciate the layers in this, so well composed and edited. Are you a Mr. Bungle fan?  I hear some hints of those stylings as well as a 70's band called Klaatu.

Waistland (2005) (Short Version)

I guess I've been hopping around the Cloud long enough to be influenced by all of you. This one is pretty strongly influenced by the bucolic musings of the Cloud King, Chris Pellnat @pretentiousmusic.

From Wikipedia: "Mud daubers are not normally aggressive, but can become belligerent when threatened. Stings are uncommon." To this I can relate.

Dirt Dauber

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Jittery lady
Adobe architect 
A potter, an artist of mud

It’s all for the baby
A tinge of regret
Your life, a labor of love
 
Work faster, you master 
Of plaster matte walls
Waddle and daubing your halls
 
You flickering onyx
My spindle waste friend
Slaving away til the end

Your moment is coming
You’ve almost arrived
Your masterpiece nearly complete

All in awe we applaud
And with tears in our eyes
As you fall from the skies to our feet

Dirt Dauber, Dirt Dauber
There’s work to be done
There’s no time for fun
In the sun

Dirt Dauber, work harder
Your larder is bare
Nine spiders despair
When they’re stung

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt dauber you martyr
A lamb to the slaughter
Why bother? Why bother?
Why bother? Why bother?

Dirt Dauber

This is another song with my old friend and former bandmate Gareth. Recorded before the lockdowns. 
Gareth is the vocal and guitar.
The lovely lyric is from the poem by the wonderful Shel Silverstein as is the cover artwork.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Where The Sidewalk Ends ( Collab with Gareth -  based on the Shel Silverstein poem)

Stars and stripes, you've lost me forever?
We've gone too far, can't find our way home
Open your eyes and fight for their future
Don't give up, our love must survive

America, you've got us running through the streets into the night
America, you're light is dimming
We're all fighting for our lives
People sick and dying
Broke, can't pay the rent
They hide their hate behind false religion
They're burning down the house we built

Hands up
Rise up
All love
Can't stop
Dont let this moment fade away

All Love- Can't Stop

The song is about finding meaning in life; in a very messy world.  We all know the way the world is...  means you have to try to make it right in your own way.

GIMME SOMETHING - (JunkHeap (c) May 29 2020) 

Oh don't be thinking too much 
about how you can change it.
Someone makes a plan to get out of this mess, 
another comes along to break it.

The world falling into hell, the depths of fire crave. 
Through the haze I see you, in this world...
full of people trying to find their way.

Gimme gimme something
ya gotta give me something,
there's got to be some meaning
or else it's all for nothing.

Why don't we take a step back,
We do whatever we want, take over the world,
feeling in control, 
the dichotomy of rich and poor,
doesn't matter, every person for themselves,
sinking ship in an ocean of sharks.
we're doomed, we're doomed...
unless we change...

Gimme gimme something
ya gotta give me something,
there's got to be some meaning
or else it's all for nothing.

Gimme Something

You better run or you drown like a lonely sailor...
(I recommend the use of headphones)

You Better Run!

In a moment of reality I see no mercy from the present.
We are all subject to the status quo.
Wondering when this will end no one really knows.
Wear your mask into your new normal and bask in the corona glow.
