Severe grim textures embellished by nostalgic piano tune... Intriguing theme. :)

A wonderful track, superb sounds so finely orchestrated and salient, tangible message!

Touching instrumental, good story telling !!

This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard. 

Lyrics by Mark Spruce
Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

James 

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

JUKEBOX QUEEN (Lyrics)

She's a jukebox queen
Who really digs the scene
In her platform shoes and tight flared jeans
(Tight flared – Tight flared jeans)

She wears a crazy coloured coat
Nice glitter in her hair
She really digs the music thrown in the air
(By her - jukebox machine)

She likes to Bang a Gong - Get It On with the Slider
She likes to dance all night long
And she won't go home tonight! (Tonight)

Oooh my jukebox queen
She really digs the scene
She has a stove pipe hat and Rides a White Swan
Ride on – Baby ride on)

My jukebox queen
She really digs the scene
My jukebox queen
She's a Jeepster - for my love
(My love – For my love)

She likes to Bang a Gong - Get It On with the Slider
She likes to dance all night long
And she won't go home tonight! (Tonight)

I push the buttons C and (4) four
Than we hear Hot Love that´s what we are looking for
If I looking through - a colourfull lense
All of Bolan`s words make sense

Uh uh nananaa
Uh uh na na
Uh uh nananaa
Uh Uh Hey Hey

She is my jukebox queen
Really digs the scene
She likes to dance all night long
And won't - go home
Jukebox queen!!

Jukebox queen - A Cosmic Dancer
Jukebox queen - She is a Jewel

Jukebox queen - A Mystic Lady
Jukebox queen - She´s my Baby Strange

'Insignificent Meanderings' is a Jazz Rock/fusion track and as the title suggests, just killing time in the studio. So in the bigger picture of things this is completely insignificent....However I hope you enjoy my meanderings.

Meeting @fadysporz on Soundcloud back in 2018 felt like a meeting of soulmates. There is a mutual respect for each other’s work and i wrote the track with room for Fadys heavenly synth work in mind and also with the idea that he joins Cindy and me in the vocal work. With Fady having the ability to ‘read’ the way of the songwriting and harmony construction it was effortless to work together - he is a fantastic musician. Thank you Fady for joining us here! 

how can you sleep, did you sleep
how dare you sleep?
when the water already laps your feet
it's time to move offbeat

you are the rider on the withe horse on the dike

gone with the flow
gone with the flow
don't let it all take you away

how would we guard what we love
if we were stuck behind a broken dike
how would we save what has to be saved
without a heart and nothing but an angry mind

we are the children of the flood

gone with the flow
gone with the flow
don't let it all take you away
we are the children of the flood

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins

If you dance with the devil then you need to consider that the hell is loose. If a church organ can keep him calm is not guaranteed neither that you can calm him down with a smooth ending ... so up to you to decide, if you dare that dance or not ...

Thanks again to Amanda for for joining on this track and helping shut that window!  Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Love
so wise
Love
Breathing's not a bother 
when you take in all the light inside

Love 
so brave
Love
Backed into a corner
Gonna hold for hurricanes
You say

Well maybe we fit every fold, every fold
You take a little weight..
You take a little weight off the soul
So don't let go

For loves
will last in time
Alright?
For loves 
will last in time
Alright?

(Love can never be lost
can never unwind
Love can never be wrong
can never be wise)

Love
don't fade
Love
backed into a corner
well
gonna hold for hurricanes in rain

Loves Last (by Amanda and Paul)

Here's a song about an army of corn marching on a town at midnight. (Hey, these things happen in Wisconsin.)
Main guitars on this are a Vintage Modified Stratocaster and a Gretsch 5622T. The combination of the classic Strat tone and the Gretsch's Super HiLotron pickups is a recipe I personally love.
A single from the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," due out on April 26, 2021.
All the songs on "Twilight on Tunnel Road" are about Lonnie and Chloe, who grow up on adjacent farms on the edge of the Driftless Area of Southern Wisconsin. This song is about Chloe's recurring dream of a vast army of corn marching at midnight toward the town. Ever since she was a child, Chloe has dreamed about the billowing ocean of corn covering the undulating hills around their farmhouse--the tall, thick stalks that towered above her head with leaves that looked like arms. The way the corn swayed in the wind made the stalks seem like people, like an orderly crowd of people standing in rows, or--by moonlight--a vast army. She dreamed about this corn army, sometimes imagining herself their queen. When she grew older, she would joke with Lonnie about this. Lonnie would call her Queen of the Corn and refer to cornfields as her troops.
LYRICS:
“The Edge of Town”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

When you’re feeling so low,
getting so you’re feeling so run down,
you’re heading for the edge of town.

When your mind starts slipping,
when your head is tripping round,
you listen for a certain sound.

You go walking late at night, look at the distant lights
that flicker in the midnight sky.
You don’t see no one. That’s because you are going
deep beyond the edge of town.

Now the night wind’s shifting,
looking at the cornfields stretching wide
like an army in the night.

You see corn troops moving,
marching through the midnight fields alive,
heading to the edge of town.

And the pine trees sifting…the messages drifting down
from the moon into your eyes.
Now the oak trees wonder why you stare up at the sky
so rootless and alone.

Noctilucent clouds are
drifting past the moon and I
wonder why you’re looking down.

Armies of corn are marching
down the hillsides toward the town
sleeping silent in the night.
