Great song, great harmonies! Very Beatles-like, I love it!

I wanted to find the core in Thursday's Child, this little ”pretty detty” in David Bowie´s production. It turned out that the colours I was comfortable to paint my cover version with were Tom Petty and the raw simplicity of punk rock.

Thursday's Child

Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

HR KIOSK

Original song by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett

Lyrics

If by now,
You haven't felt the strain.
The endless searing pain,
The hollowness that never filled inside.

If only you - were here,
The stories I could tell.
How many times I fell,
You taught me that tomorrow's another day.

I dreamt of you last night, 
As a child you held me tight.
And brushed away the tears I cried.

At ten years old - you left, 
I have to sit and prey,
Cause I’ll never got to say,
How much, I loved you so.

I still miss you,
To sooth away my fears.
Lost count of all the tears,
I've never been the same.

It's been so very long,
Since I last heard your song.
Sweet lullabies to sooth me through the night.

I've lived and loved,
I've been up and I’ve been down.
Been known to fool around,
I felt your love shine down on me.

Through those years, 
She fought with all her might,
Through every single night.
She held me  in her loving arms.

I dreamt of you last night,
As a child you held me tight.
And soothed away the fear inside.

I dreamt of you last night,
Wrapped in your loving arms.
You will always be my guiding light.

WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT

Rebirth - Eleyan Di Palma

the first thing they tell you is something to be
something beautiful, something free
the next thing they tell is to get back in line
you must have missed some kind of warning sign
they next thing you know they knock you on your ass
they call you strange, say you have no class
there's one thing brother that they'll never take
something deep within that just don't break
I know I'll never ever quite fit in with them
I know I'll never ever make the grade
to never want and to never be bored again
so pony up. lord knows how much I've paid
one hundred lessons: every one tried and true
to break you down and make you feel blue
they fill your head just as full as they can
you're just a kid and you don't understand
but even kids know a smile from a frown
they're picking up and they're putting it down
with hell to lose and heaven to pay
why do the grownups have to act this way?
I know I'll never ever quite fit in with them
I know I'll never ever make the grade
to never want and to never be bored again
so pony up. lord knows how much I've paid
so keep your head up, man, you're doing fine
and never let them in and dull your shine
you know the number and the song and dance
that grows the secret that they'd murder at every chance
cuz what you hold they'll say is a curse
instead of something to grow or a baby nurse
so every time they try to tell you its wrong
remember what someone once told you one day in a song

Been a bit since I dove into IPG1's prolific catalogue of rip roarin rap rock rockers.  A friend of mine, MJ-Brewer, wrote and played the bass on this.  Enjoy!

Lyrics:
I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really —-is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

Let’s Pool our talents together ——and move forward in a big way
the difference between giant steps and ———-Child’s play
night and day —-the price we pay
it’s gotta be—-what the people want —-not what the politicians says
—-I’m not a biblical man—-a man of principle—-I am
I believe in good and evil —and that energy is divine
Is it a chance or a miracle ——of being who I am ———
who’ll guide and protect you
Too many gods to kneel to ——
So many beliefs to cling to——what’s true?
who do you have to save you
Is the miracle within you —-clever but ————truth——-ful
God work is never done —-we’re never in ———-ne——utral
These are life’s lesson————enter the teacher ———exit the pupil

take my blessings when I can———-my lessons——- from who I am
This divine spark of energy ———is it chaos——or life‘s plan
Is faith—the path ——or journey—-taken by anyone who can
no good or evil theory just the fact that I am is all I need to guide me
————no spoken word or prophecy
The challenge ——just to stay free—- victory over enemies
The past is all history—wars—-brutality—- blasphemy
the suffering —-the agony—-the cruelty—-the tragedy

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

By the Numbers - w/ IPG1 and MJ-Brewer

I can’t take my mind off you
I guess that you were long over due
And I don’t need to verbalize 
Cause I think you realize 
What you do to me girl

So let’s make the most of every minute we’ve got
You smell so good  and you look so hot
And there’s something in the way you walk
And there’s something in the way you talk
And there’s something in the way you smile 
That I just can’t put my finger on but I really like you
You make me feel much better than human has a right to

You make me feel so happy  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I don’t know how long this is gonna last
Although the fire is hot it can burn out so fast
So let’s do the best we can
And though we may not have a plan
Yeah we’ve got style 

We’ve got each other tonight and the feeling is right
Let’s go out and party until daylight
And there’s something in the way you walk
And there’s something in the way you talk
And there’s something in the way you smile 
That I just can’t put my finger on but I really like you
You make me feel so much better than a human as a right to

You make me feel happy.  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find
I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find

You make me feel so happy.  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find

🎵 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.

Addiction (2025)
