After a weird period of writer's block / distractions / major and minor inconveniences of everyday life / lethargy / half written stubbornly unfinished songs - it looks like the gears on the musical machine might be ever so slowly grinding their way into motion for us again (we hope!!) as a few new things seem to be tentatively rolling off the production line....
This is the first new thing we've written in a while and I joked to Gina that it sounds like it belongs on a horror movie soundtrack - ironic in that the original demo was a cute little piano thing that morphed into this......

Lyrics:

I’ve got a special knife
Laser precise
I’ve got a special knife
And practically painless
Just needs a little trust
To cut out the dark parts
I’ll use it on you if you let me close enough

I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you though you may feel some pain
I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you 
I won’t hurt you though you may feel some pain

Cut out the dark parts and let you out
Cut out the dark parts and let you out

I’ve got a special knife
Laser precise
I’ve got a special knife
And practically painless
Just needs a little trust
To cut out the dark parts
I’ll use it on you if you let me close.

Knife / The Temperature

Keep me forever

Verisimilitude

UPDATED VERSION as of Nov 28 2022
MIX/MASTER - WOODS STUDIO

Master of dumb and expert at stupid
I took the boy’s bow and put an arrow in Cupid
Now who’d ever be my valentine?
We had a good run then both decided to pack it in
I’ve been thinking about unpacking us again

Yeah if it’s a bad idea
A silly or even sad idea
A psychic might know but I am not a seer
If I have had another bad idea

Well yes I have blundered once or twice
And that is probably putting it nice
Think flower memorials along the road to love
Should you drive by one of the places where once we'd meet
Would you pull over if you saw me on the street? 

So if it’s ok with you
Maybe we start anew
I can’t always be ruled by my greatest fear
That I have had another bad idea

Who’s keeping score?
‘cuz I’ve got more

Knowing my luck I'll get myself stuck in life's quicksand
Could you wade in and give a guy a hand?

Even if it’s a bad idea
The worst that I’ve had idea
I’ll pick up anytime that you might call
It wont be a bad idea after all

Make me glad
Say it's not a bad idea

Pole Shift

The earth shakes below
lightning flashes above
hearts and minds are broken
Poison all around

Nowhere else to go
Everywhere the same
There’s no time at all
where we find ourselves

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Swallowing the hook
we consume the bait
Can’t agree at all
Save the need for change

Divided in our minds
Can’t tell love from hate
Then before we know
It may be too late

Blind with mental plays
walk into the blaze
Cannot see what’s here
in front of our face

Earth shakes below
lightning flashes above
hearts and minds broken
Poison all around

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Earth shakes below
lightening flash above
Hearts and minds broken
Poison all around

If we could only see
That we lack nothing
fear would fade away
Only truth would stay

Seeing in real time
Following the way
Having seen what’s real
Only truth will stay

Lightly holding on
As the poles turn round
peaceful through it all
as the world falls down

Two longstanding friends hang out, record improv and occasionally write a song. These are unpolished sonic occurrences with a range of moods.
