Into The Light - third part of the reworked cinematic musical suite based on my original theatrical Cirque style show: Regalia - The Enchanted Forest, which was initially performed at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in 2011. The new ethnic infused World music score has been crafted around sophisticated and powerful hybrid orchestral compositions by my friends at Anthology Records.

These three video clips depict the opening scenes of the story as a prelude / backstory. It tells the tale of our heroes (two Final War survivors in a post-apocalyptic surrounding) on their strenuous and dangerous voyage to a magical place - Regalia - The Enchanted Forest.

===== Lyrics =====

“One of a kind”
But not cutting off my ear yet
One of a kind
Just mostly trying to make it
“Almost wild”
A fauve who’s trying to fit in
“Messy child”
The half friend of oppression
I teeter on the edges

“Force of nature”
But never quite exploding
So much pressure
From these wild ideas
“joie de vivre”
(joie de vivre and bon vivant)
But something to contend with
(something good until it’s not)
“Force to follow”
But I don’t want to want to lead just yet
(joie de vivre until I’m not)

A messy child
The half son of oppression
Almost wild
A fauve just trying to fit in

“Larger than life”
And such a giant person
That's what he said
But he meant it in a good way

The weight of the normal
Less or more a deviation
A goddess
A statue melting on the edges
I teeter on the edges

The weight of the normal
Less or more a deviation
A goddess, a statue melting on the edges
I teeter on the edges

SHE'S A RAINBOW

The Ghost In Love III

This song is about losing my wonderful big brother when I was a young man. He bought me 'The White Fender Strat' and said quietly through his smile "No excuses now...". Thanks forever bro, this is for you as always.

SMOKE

Growing up, looking up
I have never had my toast buttered on both sides
I started crying the day 
I watched my father clearing the overgrown weeds at the top of the garden and realised 
And realised
That wasn’t what he was doing
Ooh no

It was a still day 
So still
It was a still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
And another
Five years

There was a silence 
Where my beautiful dead brother still lived between us 
And that quietness wasn’t burned with the weeds

It was a still day
It was a still life 
So still
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
Another
Five years

Digging the sod in Donegal 
Praying for muscle, bunched like a ball 
Sweat and pride loved standing tall 
Anticipating 
Eye-watering 
Peat-stove fire 
That would 
Warm 
Cook 
And flavour our bones

It was a still day 
Still day
It was a still life 
Still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes

Another
Five years
And another
Five years...

Five years
Tick tock
Five years
My father lost his sense of smell and his pulse in cenotaph central heating
Five years
And my orphaned senses 
Five years
Still feel that fire

And smell that smoke...

MUTUAL

might be about general regrets or old loves or even international grievances or just something like what Sir Paul sang "Fixing a hole..." but in this case it's NOT Fixing A Hole...!
