Love the delay on that guitar. Great vocals!!

Was attracted to this track by the cover pic ('I'm Alright Jack' being a favourite of mine) and found a brilliant song with equally brilliant lyrics.  Impressive work, my friend.

Very smooth recording. Original song & cool lyrics. That guitar is lovely

brilliant lyrics and very nice music again , cool :-)

great biting lyrics with the harmony on top, nice contrast in melody, brilliant track and sound man

This track features a secretly borrowed real violin, a sampled Chinese wok filled with water, and a saltmill from the Wieliczka salt mine. As we say here: Zum Wohl!

Something to relax to or maybe cook to, your choice. Enjoy my friends.

I always love it when my good friend and bandmate Pat Howell sends me his latest mandolin musing, this time with his Octave.  His musing becomes my "muse" and the ideas start to flow, this time using two mandolins and two guitars.  Just in time for Fall, and maybe my favorite season, a refreshing breeze from the Texas Highlands.  Hear more fine music on Pat's Cloud @patrick-howell-786748109

Texas Highlands (Pat Howell; Mandolins, David Dunham; Guitars)

This is a song that I thought was about someone else, but it's more likely just about me. 

lyrics

Looks like you've got everything you want
there ain't a single thing left that you need
you're flowing through life like the sea
boy you don't see the woods for the trees

I wouldn't decline no invitation 
to go smacking your head against the pavement
flick through warning signs but you don't read
boy you don't see the woods for the trees

keep pushing all our worries around
try to bury them deep underground
you better keep that spade close at hand
so we can dig out your head from the sand

when I burst into your surgery seeking remedies
you called the alarm
now I've swallowed all the pills you prescribed
I'm telling you I want to be discharged


Keep giving all the people your time
your family said you've got an altruistic mind
but they won't tell you when you're so sick
or that you're life's greatest fucking hypocrite

I know I don't got too much education
but I deciphered your charm from fabrication
I used to bite at the slightest provocation 
now I'll just growl and consider each situation

I may not have everything I want
but I got from you what I need
You ain't got nothing left for me
boy you don't see the woods from the trees

recorded at home on my tascam 8 track

Woods For The Trees (I'm Alright Jack)

With his fat belly hanging over his belt
He's a lot of fun
He's got flexi jeans and a leather belt
He's the number one
Comb that thining hair 
he's got so much flair
Macho debonair

So take that bunting down
There's no one in town
And I know there's no-one cheering
You called everyone
But no-one's come
They must be hard of hearing

Pack up your dreams and put them away
There's no heaven at the end of this stairway
You never launched that ship on your slipway
You were always waiting for someday

Waiting For Someday

A little heavier than my usual. Started with a few stems created by Mark Lettieri. Many thanks Mark.

Time is getting short
Time to put it all away
not feeling such comfort
only cold and bitter days

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

Time is getting short
I’ve burned 25,000 days
I can feel your support
you take all blues away

I will always be there too
I will always hold onto you

Time is getting short
Time to put it all away
not feeling such comfort
only cold and bitter days

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

I will always be there too
I will always hold onto you

You always keep me warm
You drive away the storm

25,000 Days

It’s about becoming  the person you wanna be .

The new Cavern has stepped out the Ashes on the same site and a visit is highly recommended.

„You Company Me“ – ein Lied über Licht im Dunkel 

Manchmal ist das Leben wie eine Nacht aus Regen und Wind –
und doch spürt man eine Hand, die uns hält.
„You Company Me“ ist ein Lied über dieses Gefühl:
über das Getragenwerden, wenn die eigene Kraft schwindet,
über Hoffnung, die leise bleibt – und trotzdem stark.
Das Video dazu habe ich mit viel Liebe und mit Unterstützung von Canva gestaltet.
Vielleicht findest du in diesem Lied ein Stück Frieden, ein bisschen Wärme, ein leises „Ich bin da“.

“You Company Me” – a song about light within the dark 
Sometimes life feels like a night of rain and wind —
and yet, there’s a hand that gently holds us still.
“You Company Me” was born from that quiet truth:
that grace can whisper even in the storm,
and hope can rise where words fall silent.
The video was created with love and with the support of Canva.
May this song bring you a moment of calm, a touch of warmth,
and a reminder — you’re not alone.

You Company Me
Verse 1
I feel like a child in the night of cold and rain,
I pray, my God — please lend me your hand again.
When I am lost, when I’m falling in despair,
You guide my soul to the light that’s always there.
Every time, You company me.

Hold my heart, Lord, stay near to me,
Through every storm, through every sea.
When I fall, You still believe —
Precious Lord, You company me.

Verse 2
Sometimes I feel like a lonesome man in the storm,
I cry, “O Jesus, keep my spirit warm.”
When I can’t tell what’s good, what’s right, what’s wrong,
Your voice still whispers softly through my song.
Every time, You company me.

Hold my heart, Lord, stay near to me,
Through every storm, through every sea.
When I fall, You still believe —
Precious Lord, You company me.

Bridge / Verse 3
You light my life with mercy and grace,
Your eyes are upon me in the darkest place.
You lift me higher, You set on my head a crown,
Your breath restores me when the cold winds blow me down.
You are my Savior — I believe I’m Yours.

Hold my heart, Lord, stay near to me,
Through every storm, through every sea.
When I fall, You still believe —
Precious Lord, You company me.

Praeditos is a track made with doromb (jew's/jaw/mouth harp) by https://soundcloud.com/discratebye.

Invited to work on it, I jammed on bass, then crafted it with drums & organ, finally adding some guitars & tuned doromb at about 1:00. So, here is my super-late contribution to the Praeditos project...

Praeditos (with KONOKUNOK)

Psychedelic world presents [THE HUMAN CONDITION ]expanded and alternative version

℗ © Copyright Ian Stokes. All Rights Reserved
Recorded and mixed using Logic. Mastered in Soundcloud

It's been good fun recording this song, which I started to write some years ago, sitting in a beautiful cafe in a wonderful town square in France.  Hope you like it!
LYRICS:
Behind her cool sunglasses and her long dark hair
No one sees the colour of her eyes
At her table in the corner of the cafe on the square
She watches the world go by

And he just longs to know her
As she comes to the cafe every day
But when he takes her coffee to her table
He can never find the words to say

Behind her cool sunglasses and her long dark hair
As the world goes walking by
From her table in the corner of the cafe on the square
She keeps him in the corner of her eye

And she just longs to know him
As he waits on her table every day
But when he brings her coffee to her table
She can never find the words to say

She raises her sunglasses to the top of her head
Holding back her long dark hair
At her table in the corner of the cafe in the square 
She looks up from her chair

As he brings her coffee to her table 
Just as does every day
His eyes meet hers for the very first time
No need for any words to say

Lyrics:
You’re the last to arrive
The other five are already here
Did you find the time
To make your goodbyes clear?

Making a break for it now
Trying for the mountain top
Nothing in your life till now
Has prepared you for this shock

They say its going to be a hard climb
Its going to be a hard climb
We’re going to see it through
See through to silver blue

Perched on a powder keg of dust
That's going to make us fly high
Keeping an eye on the clock
And a lid on the butterflies
Counting down from T minus 5
To that great unwinding spring
Gravity makes me feel alive
Soaring up on new wings

They say its going to be a hard climb
Its going to be a hard climb
We’re going to see it through
See through to silver blue

<spoken> Out atoms were forged inside the stars
Like the salmon swimming upstream
Like the geese flying north
We are drawn to whence we came

Look out on your starboard side
At this spinning blue-white ball
Open up your mind’s eye
Try to absorb it all
There is only now and its real
What matters is you're here
If you can find your mind free
You’re past that last frontier

They say its going to be a hard climb
Its going to be a hard climb
But we’re going to see it through
See through to deeper blue

They say its going to take a long time
Its going to take a long time
But we’re going to get to know
Get to know the Indigo…
