Living On Fat feat. Cypress Hill (prod. Fat Pockets)

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...

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

Just a boy (ft. Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

I see a pool of black and no light
the way you stare at me with those dead eyes
turn on the energy with the right vibe
too late, you got so cold, no revive
no revive (x3), the thoughts they thrive (x3), still alive (x3), must survive (x3)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

I put you in the box you belong in
waved bye and said so long to the demons
come out from underground, it was pushing
old wounds that stitched back up, well they're open

well they're open (x3)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within 
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

Feed the Silence

Float Like Dust

Deep Mountain Electronica. The forest fires were ominous again this past summer. In the studio while writing this, the smoke was swirling around and it was hard to take. No escape from it. With that and the state of the western world...this came to be.

A bad dream I once had after I ate the wrong kind of cheese (I assume).

You Say "Hi", I Say "Die"

Come on, sheeple, wake up.

The sacred chant ‘Salve Regina’ is a beautiful thing and to paraphrase Stewart Copeland and Caroline Shaw ‘...transcends religion itself’. This is one of a few rearrangements/improvisations I’ve tried. The harmony etc. is still there but the tele leads the way.

I was in love with West Side Story from age 5 on. 
This is a free interpretation of Somewhere.

Original soundtrack from West Side Story written by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. 

Edit: I am so sad Stephen Sondheim died a few days after this release. So I declare this interpretation as my tribute to him. Thank you so much for your everlasting romantic poetry Mr. Sondheim. Rest in peace. 

Vocals and backings created and recorded by Neli CoKo.

DRIFT-WOOD written and produced by Jim Manser 2021 
watch the music video for driftwood on https://youtu.be/ixKabj2_lWY

lyrics
when you were here i didnt feel no fear
just a calm before the storm and an un-relenting tear
like the sleeping dogs who lie on the farm
or the people who wear the masks to ward away the harm
so unaware of the anger thats carried from with-in
its hard to find directions when your world is in a spin
you got to follow your heart and find the magic eye
you got to keep direction look up to the skys

way back when the world was a different place
we had the time and we had space
but now the pieces are washed up on a shore
we are the drifters fighting lonely wars

moments in life can still feel unreal
when i left the uk and headed to seville
wanna feel the sunlight on my face
sick and tired of drifting in an empty place
theres people and theres actions that never make much sense
they are frightened by the media just sitting on the fence
you got to remember this life is all you get
and everything around you is hanging on an edge

driftwood though a string of days
i left my childhood in a maze 
driftwood washed up on a shore 
all the things i cant ignore
driftwood took hold of my dreams in a field of fire ...but now it seems so far away

dedicated to all the free-thinkers and the people who really want to live free

This is the first release from The Just Imagines, the new band from previously solo artists, Ciroyelle and Tyler Cressman. Just over a year ago, they met, they collabed, and they fell in love. This is the first single from a 12 track album which tells their love story. This is a sultry blues track, proclaiming that their meeting was most certainly not by chance. 

Vocals and Lyrics: Ciroyelle and Tyler Cressman
Guitars: Tyler Cressman
Bass: Tyler Cressman
Organs: Tyler Cressman
Drum Kit: Tyler Cressman

Lyrics:
She Graces the room and the hair stands on my neck
She can’t be real must be a goddess in the flesh
Those emerald eyes glance my way and I start to sweat
And then the bass starts thumping and the beats get soaking wet

So begins this dance, it’s not happenstance


I’m catching a vibe and 
notice this Guy ..uh
The way he lets his Fingers slide
And now he looks 
so deep into my Eyes
I can tell he likes the way i move
Oh I never knew
How someone can
Exactly feel my groove
 

Place your hand in mine, it’s not by chance we have met
I wanna hold it cuz i know this moment I just won’t forget 
Feel the heat from your lips , and the passion you exude
I think i know how this night concludes

The planets are aligned, perfect place and time
We dance to one rhythm, it is only the beginning

This Time of Year

This time of year, you know 
Bugs of all types, you know
Six legged, eight legged, grown in a petri dish

This time of year you know
Bees of all stripes they go
All of them searching for nectar and perfect bliss

This time of year 
All kinda girls
Real or fictitious or dressed up in prison clothes

Over the wall they go 
Out on the lam ya know
Looking for your faces exactly like yours you know 
And I’m looking at you

This time of year you know 
Two or three years ago
You told me not to write songs about you, you know

I’ve got to tell you though
You’re the best guy I know
You’ll have to put up with songs ‘til you die you know
And I’ll write them for you

This time of year you know
Bugs of all types, you know
Creepers and crawlers -- bacteria probably

Put on their Sunday hats
Strut around town they go
Looking for someone exactly like you ya know
Just like you

This Time Of Year - with Phil McWalter

Greetings, my SC friends. I have another fun remix to share with you; a return invitation (he musta liked the last one) from my good friend Jason Mowry (https://soundcloud.com/lazydadamusic, https://soundcloud.com/asleepwithheadphones); a remix of this song (https://soundcloud.com/lazydadamusic/after-dark) now available on the new Lazy Dada Maxi Single (https://lazydadamusic.bandcamp.com/album/after-dark). 

While I had the privilege of working with both Jason and Darren’s creative elements on the last remix, this one has the added bonus feature of Jamison on vocals. He has a swoon-worthy voice. I think you’ll agree. So without further delay, I offer you my latest Remix, ‘Up All Night’ (based off of Lazy Dada’s original track, ‘After Dark’). :)

Credits: 
Jamison Wallen: vocals/lyrics
Jason Mowry: bass and guitar 
D.D. Danahy: brass synth, and funky synth (all chopped up and reversed; let’s see if he notices). :D 
GrevusAnjl: beats, and all the other weird stuff
