Such a fabulous, sparkling Duet. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT Paul and Amanda xx

@nicklas-loefstrand: Appreciated as always Nicklas

Very nice work again! As always love your harmony vocs and the melodic composition. And there are (in my opinion) some really nice Yo La Tengo vibes in this tune. Superb!

really perfect raw harmony melting perfectly with the slamming guitar

Cracking song and performance. Love the dirty electric guitar.

Fantastic track!! (Heard this one awhile ago on Amanda's page) Love it!!

One More Day

Just Because

A song for Amy

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

northern hemisphere
coffee warming
you are with me dear
misty morning
the news is dreadful
again
i’ve got a headful
but then
you and your crimson nightgown
from way back when


southern hemisphere
1990
you were with me dear
we were briny
the tanks were empty
again
we went to fill them
and then
a drive to Saba cliffside
with our new friends


we have memories           (we go way back)
but we’re not done yet
come ride beside me        (while we still can)
again

Thanks to Janine Levinson, Wheelwright, and Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley for early listening.

Love Song #1000

Hangers
on
They're all
gone

Is it too late?
I'm indifferent til
I break
The screaming doubt

So hold
Your tongue
Don't save
the world

Like you said you would
Like you said you would

Do you think
You're the king without the crown?
It wears me down

If we stop
staring at the new gold
maybe we just let go
Only if we could

Someone's saving face
in this awful race
and we never got past the starting line

Someone's gone to waste
in this endless race
are we part of the problem just passing by

Someone's saving face
in this awful race
And we never got past the starting line

Someone's empty space
in this awful race
Am I part of the problem
just passing by

Don't hold your tongue
Don't save the world

Part of the Problem

PCH/Box Breathing

Back around 2015, I started taking guitar lessons from an instructor who was really into Bluegrass Music. I soon discovered that didn't have an aptitude for the guitar and didn't have a great desire to practice enough to make up for any natural ability. 
I did mention to my instructor that I had written a couple of songs and maybe our time would be better spent learning how to record these songs.
One day I tried to write a 'bluegrass" tune and titled it, "I've Done It Again." We recorded it. Years later, I wanted to revisit some of my earlier recordings and see what they might sound like with professional musicians. Nicky V. Hines, currently the lead guitarist with Shenandoah acted as musical director, guitarist, arranger, engineer, and producer for me on this finally finished new version. (Several versions have been posted on my SC page throughout the years. This will be the Spotify, Apple, Amazon etc version of which I shall make .002 of a penny every time it is played.) On bass is Martin Motnik currently a member of the popular European Heavy Metal Band "Accept." (Trust me, I have no idea how a country bumpkin like me ended up working with Heavy Metal - but I dig it.) On keyboards is the wonderful Tim McDonald , out of Nashville. On drums is another Nashvillian, Travis L.. Super people and very, very talented and experienced.
I like this version very much - musically. I think the mix is excellent (Nicky V. Hines) and I like how he took down the reverb on the vocal, it sounds a bit edgier, a little more vulnerable, and real. 
What's the song about? It's about not being able to take off the "masks" and take down the walls . Although "good lover" is sexual certainly sounding - we can mess up good love in other ways too - family, friends, etc. And, although we can deeply feel the pain of our actions, sometimes we just can't seem to get out of our own way. 
It is a song about being human. Thank you Nicky!

I've Done It Again

Inspired by Brennan Manning's The Ragamuffin Gospel and for all my fellow ragamuffin brothers and sisters.

Mercy Me

Love in fear
still hopeful eyes
still hopeful eyes

Ready for the big surprise
All ghosts will rise
will rise

Milk every teardrop
til we die
through gaslit eyes
We hold on for dear life

Now we dream in daily news
it all comes true
it all comes true

So we're stuck like treacle glue
it's all for you
it's all for you

Milk every teardrop
til we die
gaslit eyes
hold on for dear life

Scream to me the daily news
it must be true
it must be true..

Dear Life

Recorded early this morning on my phone, a simple take when it was quiet.
I am finding it quite difficult to play my guitar now because of my arthritis, so  good to play a little. 
Happy Solstice to all of you!!

Thank you for your amazing Support 

she sings while the river still runs
singing to the moon now in swarms
see how it all ends 
the twillight now swallows

I'm laying here
alone in this ocean
drift along
to where the waves will send me
sometimes the choice
not to think
to let go when noone's there
to disagree
will bury me

but in the end
we are nothing but stardust

Thanks once again to Amanda for making this song a joy to work on. Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

When all around the world
just casts out light
And hearts forever cower in the night
Folds that never show
just draw outlines
and memories
replay a thousand times

So if you stop for a minute 
from the rotten race
And I dream sometimes of the human face
Just a touch, just a feeling 
from the warmest place
someday

And if you feel nothing but the empty space
and I fall like a fruit with the bitter taste
Just a thought, just a beat
not a chance to waste
someday

A heart, a hope
a feeling out of time
Leaves its mark but slowly on my mind
so stand beneath the stare of your streetlights
and leave a little part of me behind

My weakness like the stars drawn to the night
a dreamer disappears before my eyes

do do do

Now this old time soul just can't let go
just a dream of a night at the old disco
just a stop of a heartbeat and a song on the radio

So if you stop for a minute from the rotten race
and I dream sometimes of the human face
just a touch, just a feeling from the warmest place
someday

And if you feel nothing but the empty space
and you fall like a fruit with the bitter taste
just a thought, just a beat
not a chance to waste
today

R.I.P. Pace.  My best friend and mentor. Changed my life forever and will be missed forever.

I was born in Huntsville. I use to dig in my father's drawers looking for music and would pop in whatever I could find. I ended up listening to Bruce Springsteen, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Led Zeppelin, Prince. Just whatever I could find in his collection. So, my interest in music began at a young age compared to most. I would literally go to bed listening to music with headphones on when I was that age. Music was in my veins and has been ever since. As I got older, around the age of 11 bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Beck, Radiohead & many others began blossoming. I wasn't a fan of hair metal, so these bands offered something different and it was something I liked. Up till this point I had indulged in Classic Rock. Bands like the Doors, CCR, Beatles, Johnny Cash, and a little bit of punk rock. We had a punk rock scene in D.C. Henry Rollins was from our city and Bad Brains as well. I listened to other punk bands like Dead Kennedy's and GG Allin. Around 14 years old I got my first guitar. It was a acoustic guitar my father got me for either my birthday or Christmas. I think it was my birthday though. I never took lessons, I just bought a big poster with guitar chords and would sit there everyday learning them. I use to have to walk everywhere and remember coming up with songs in my head, but never had the means to record them and they would just fade away within a day. By the time I was 18 yrs old I landed myself in jail for the first of many times to come. Playing guitar had long been something I was doing, but drinking and partying was my new favorite thing. I never really got into any big trouble, but I've had my fair share of time in the jails. About 5 years ago I decided to clean up my act and start writing music. I bought some software, new equipment and began recording. I never thought it would get me anywhere, I was just doing it for fun really. Then people began to respond to what I would write. People really liked my music and it inspired me to continue and to be better. So, I'm still on that road.
