Another raising the spirits...Nature's Dream!!!

Fantastic Track - Cool Lyrics And Melody x

Great vocal arrangement on a breezy pop song. Can't fault the musicianship.

Great, upbeat rock track, with really cool guitar and vocal harmonies.

A Wisconsin anthem...sort of....
Are you addicted to cheese curds? Crave whitefish livers and a cold Leinie's? Spend hours sitting on a bucket, ice fishing at twenty below zero, but release all the fish cause you'd rather have a burger?
Another single from the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," due out on April 26, 2021. 
Main guitars on this are a Vintage Modified Strat playing the fast-picking melodic riff and my '66 Guild Starfire XII filling things out and playing the lead. They are joined by my Gretsch 5622T and '78 Guild S-60.

“Clockwork Clouds”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Nothing I say gives you a clue.
You just want me singing the blues.
But I don’t know how to choose—
too many things jostling my mind like leaves in the wind.

And this corn looks so fine, but I’m losing my mind,
living out here in the countryside
with these cows and this corn—
never forlorn—some say it’s paradise
and I guess that’s maybe true but….

CHORUS: Take me through the skies
above the world we know,
looking at these clockwork clouds from so far below.
Take me past the stars, somewhere far away.
Looking at these clockwork clouds for so many days.

Tell me again, why am I here?
Looking at clouds in the stratosphere.
I don’t feel so alone cause I’ve got this here phone,
the Packers on the tele, a sixpack on ice.

When I’m walking the fields calculating the yields,
the clouds are floating by like cottony shields.
There’s manure and milk, soybeans and corn silk,
Bears fans down in Janesville but I don’t mix with that ilk, so….

CHORUS

Wisconsin’s my home so I’m never alone.
There’s cows and curds and cheese and birds
and whitetails in the woods.
And there’s wolves and black bears,
our meatpackers shares,
the green of spring and gold of fall really tell it all.

We harvest ginseng roots, trim Christmas tree shoots,
grow fine leaf tobacco for your big cheroots.
Red tail on the wing, it just makes you sing.
Turkey vultures circling like angels in the sky.

And there’s cows and there’s corn, whitefish livers and porn,
Northwoods hair salons where no one lives but the trees.
And there’s trout streams and hills, Lake Superior’s thrills—
ice fishing in winter, sitting on a bucket in the wind.

Penelope's Thrill is a lucky accident. Lured out of musical retirement by son Andrew, Timothy Walsh dusted off his guitars, including his favorite vintage Guilds and Gretsches, and picked up where he left off 25 years ago playing in garage bands in New Jersey and Boston. 
Tim founded Penelope's Thrill as the vehicle for his new songs, often pulling in other musicians from Madison and from around the world for particular tracks. Son Andrew occasionally appears on guitar or adding vocals. Wife Barbara also appears on keyboards and backing vocals.

     ***All tracks are recorded and mixed by Timothy Walsh at Yew Tree Studios (that is, a tiny upstairs room in my house nestled amid century-old yew trees). Recent songs are recorded with Logic Pro using hardware tube preamps, compressors, etc. Earlier tracks were recorded direct to a Zoom R8 recorder.
