Ha hilarious phrase, I learned it relatively recently too! :)) Gorgeous song and performances!!!

I don't know why this is making me smile so much. And... what an opening line.

A WONDERFUL track and i get to enlarge my English Language at the same time LOL AWESOME !!!!

THE RAVEN
The dark bird caws an aching creak, jarring
high in the branches of my twisted hazel

Light drips thickly - like warm blood or hot metal -
from the anvil angles of its beak, cuts short
breeze, divides still water, and settles
deep in the silence of the little pond beneath

It is not the tawdry light of the mind
where still limbs, still torso, still breath pull close -
become justified - where truth is vulnerable to age

Nor is it the light of secret gardens, of mists
unsettling and godless clarity eclipsing everything

An illusive bat mapping shady new worlds
by shriek and wail.  The old owl's careful murders
These fears swoop in the cool of night

But this raven comes with the light.  Hopping and strutting
Gently tip tap tapping.  Its black glint encumbering
ornamental cherry trees, beach and oaks with ease

And it brings the white-hot light of fear.  The clarity of danger
The fat weight of doubt that lingers near
The crack in peace.  The spark of both death and change

The Raven (featuring the Poetry of CJ Harrington)

A phrase I hadn't come across until reading Gary McMahon's blog (and now i hear it all the time).  A song about remaining stoic in the face of it all.

Sing out your sad parade
Storm out the barricades
Lifting up heavyweights
Everything's different someday

Everything's coming up gold
If you squint at the world
You can sleep with your eyes half closed
If there's nothing inside your soul

Hanging on to let go
Hanging on to let go

Nothing will ever be normal
Hoping the wind it won't change
Put on old shoes
Call out your blues
Put on your resting bitch face

Nothing will ever be old
Feeling alright in the rain
Slip on old shoes
Call out old blues
Put on your resting bitch face

Nothing will ever be normal
Hoping the wind it won't change
Put on old shoes
Call out your blues
Just put on your resting bitch face..

Walk In The Woods (with you)

Whistleblower (c) written by Sally Williams Schloegl -  is the the second track we recorded with Govinda Doyle in his famous watertank- we want to dedicate this song to Julian Assange, our own aussie whistleblower and also to Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning- we think these people are legends! :)

And the world is on your side
As the lawmakers decide
If you’re ever coming home
Know- you are not alone

Like the peacemakers before you
We’ll see the powers that be destroy you
And we will all know why
Coz you were on our side

CHORUS

Blow, whistle blower, blow
Know, the people need to know
Blow, whistle blower, blow

Amidst the seeds of hate they’ve been sowing
The winds of change have been blowing
We all know more
We’re so tired of war

Now we know they’re listening too
watching everything that we do
1984
Not fiction, anymore

CHORUS

Blow, whistle blower, blow
Know, the people need to know
Blow, whistle blower, blow

And the world is watching you
Wondering what the hell they will do
If you’re ever coming home
Know, you are not alone

Oh the winds of change are blowing
