Such a great tune. I really dig your voice. You are reminiscent of Tom Petty with your writing and some of your vocal tones and phrasing. Love it!

Good music‼️ The simple production is nice‼️

Great work!  … 🌍☮︎👍🐞🍀2024

Weekly

Well as the clocks go forward tonight, (or maybe back - I never can remember), meaning we gain (or is it lose?) an hour, (though obviously we don't really), so it will be darker (or lighter) in the morning (or is it evening?) I thought it would be timely, as it were, to take a moment, and draw from my deep intellectual insight into the matter to explain all there is to know about that tricky little bugger, time.  

You're welcome.

Starting as a ditty which was then utterly transformed with Seagull's production, arrangement and musical genius, drawing on Dan-DT's deft touch on the soft squidgy bits, it was eventually incorporated into Seagull's brilliant "Compendium of Time".  Why not take a little of your own to watch it on YouTube here :

Old Father Time

Did you commence, at once, or have you always ever been
And will your pounding heartbeat ever cease?
Are you a sense, or force, or something other in between?
Simply ticking down to each and every last release?
Is your pulse rate constant in this exponential universe?
Or does my biology speed the tempo of your rhyme?
Why are the lifespans of your subjects so potentially diverse?
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

Is your mission merely measure, or are you yourself the cause
Of evolution and decay of matter's elementary doom?
Are you the seemly pressure on the future's pending pause
Ethereally benign or other natural force subsume?
Can you shift like rays in prisms, temporal rainbows to behold
Are you the cause of age or do you simply count it's lines
Is your rounded face imprisoned in a cell numbered twelvefold
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

At terminal expansion of our present universe
For its destined re-contraction to begin
Will your hands slow to a halt then slip into reverse
Or count us down in forward time back to our origin?
Will the ultimate compaction trigger seasonal adjust
Predicate upon your base the final great rewind?
Then will you recommence or revert back to gently ticking dust?
Do you hear me cry your name, Old Father Time?

Lyrics:

Forest Giants

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Hey loner
Come over
To my forest
It's getting warmer
Stay hidden
Forbidden
It's written on the wind

On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

Well - synths
This piece is the final result of our latest collaboration. This time we have the pleasure of inviting you to travel through time and space, and perhaps we can cross that boundary together.
   The end of the year is a time to visit each other and travel. So this will be a winter journey, in snow and blizzard. Perhaps during sunset or even at night... Either way, the doors of imagination have been opened!
    We hope to drift together in melancholy reverie towards the new year. Thank you for your time, attention and your ongoing support. Happy New Year!!!

Release date 28/12 2023

WINTER TRIP - w/Surfers Like Us

*** This extended version was not planned, rather, inspiration called for it, and I felt compelled to revisit this piece. I hope you will enjoy this new version. ***

A requiem for my sister Lisa, and 4th movement of a work I have planned to complete as I have time and inspiration for each part of my outline.

The title comes from my daughter, who heard me as I was playing with the initial melodic idea, and said it sounds like a mourning bird.

This piece is best heard through headphones or quality stereo speakers to hear all the details.

Special thanks to the following, in no particular order, for their feedback, support and kindness which helped me to make this piece what it is.

Mother huntress

Original track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics...

If only for a second do you stop and think of me,
Sitting in the shadow of a life that's set you free?
Wishing you remembered how good you had it then,
I only wish you well on your journey to the end.

And if by some small miracle you should pass this way,
I'd take you warmly by the hand but I wouldn't make you stay.
See memories have a thousand tricks they always like to use,
One day you think it's sunshine the next it's just bad news.

I'll stand and I'll be waving from the top step by my door,
As your car heads down the road and you're on your way once more.
Towards a lost horizon with wings upon your heels,
Tell me when you get there how good it really feels. 

These whispered words of sentiment come only when I drink,
If I was stone cold sober I'd take the time to think.
And wonder what the hell you ever saw in me,
Did you settle for second best or did you get lazy?

I guess in time you realised that I was just no good,
The secrets that I hid behind the cabin in the woods.
Were too far gone and so messed up they put me in the frame,
And the only things they've left me with are sorrow and my name.

If I could still be brave enough if I could be adored,
Would I be a slave to love or simply be ignored?
The weight of expectation is the thing that's killing me,
In time you came to cage the beast and threw away the key.

Systematic waves of panic are coursing through my veins,
I'd better light the signal fire before everybody blames.
The single reason I exist as a warning to you all,
I thought I flew among the stars but everybody falls.

I made mistakes that much is true and I paid the price,
I tried to hide the lies I cried and tried to be real nice.
Depression all consuming tore at my very soul,
But now I turn to face the truth before I get too old.

If only for a second do you stop and think of me,
Sitting in the shadows of a life that's set you free?
Wishing you remembered how good you had it then,
I only wish you well on your journey to the end.

The Puppeteers

If Only For a Second

IF ONLY FOR A SECOND

man, the girl was acting crazy
eyes a little hazy
she escaped with her life
looked in the magic mirror
the demon creeping nearer with a ritual knife
drew the blood up through the fountain
scaled the wizard's mountain
and down through the sky
and she gazed a gazeless stare 
that chilled the summer air
and then she waited to die
man, the girl got into motion
and conjured up a potion
and she hid it away
cuz she knew the dude was coming
she couldn't keep running and living this way
she's a mean necromancer
a midnight dancer always getting her way
he's a mean mutilator, a slimy alligator 
come to take you away
crystal balls, enchantments, curses, and portals
damn us all to die or suffer immortal
in her hands the wretched tools for survival:
the commands of dead, unholy revival
man, the girl drank the elixir 
hoping it would fix her
yeah she needed to fight
so she summoned up a skelly
from the depths of hell she cast him out in the night
would the wizard hear him sneakin?
rotten bones a creakin as he entered the lair?
to the girls satisfaction
he fell for the distraction she cast out of thin air
in his claws he held the resurrected
and he saw his final moments reflected
as the girl stood behind the foul wizard
from this world and into hell she delivered
man, the girl she put him down

Man, the girl (and the electric wizard)

Keith is an old school rocker who loves to belt out throaty vocals and crunch away on guitars.
I just come alongside and wrap a vision of additional parts and produce it all to show off the details in the creative process as best as a modest home-based  musician with a rudimentary DAW can. 
Once in a while, lyrics come along that glue everything together.

So, for 2024, here is our wish: we need a hero! Who do you envision in such a role?  Our parents, our family, our teachers, medical practitioners, scientists, researchers, friends, musicians, politicians who unite (not divide), a religious figure, a community member or volunteer, or perhaps someone who has overcome significant challenges? What makes a leader for the challenges of 2024? Maybe it's you?

Free D/L: track 10 of the Wigmore Allen Gibbons 2023 Album Hold On To Someone - https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons

                               We Need a Hero
    Do you weary of everything?
    Does it turn like machinery?
    Do you drown in a puddle?
    As deep as eternity
    Do you surrender or fight?
    Even know what is right?
    Do you just rattle your tin?
    With all your walls closing in
    WE NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO TO LEAD US
    NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO RIGHT NOW
    WE NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO TO LEAD US
    NEED A HERO…WE NEED A HERO RIGHT NOW…
    (Lead-guitar-break)
    Does the smell seem to lurk?
    But your pain never hurts?
    Machinations of malaise
    With all your walls closing in
    (We need a hero, hero)
    (CHORUS)

🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
