Lyrics: 

Staring at today's headlines
in an empty compartment
warning tape and a lost bag
a cold wind in downtown

I'm walking
I'm walking

I keep walking
I keep walking

I know it won't come back
step out and deal with that
a different normality
the keys stay in the keyhole

I'm walking
I'm walking

I keep walking
I keep walking

Caesura

Warning Tape And A Lost Bag

Scotty: guitar, lyrics, vocals
Tommy: bass

Why can't I get any peace of mind?
Something crushing happens each time
happiness comes my way.
It is never here to stay. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

I'm beat down, broken and terrified
yet I carry on somehow and take it in stride. 

Fuck the game that we've gotta play
just to live another day. 

Something crushing happens every time
That I think I've achieved peace of mind...

The Game

Last days of summer. Two girls on the pier laugh excitedly braving the waves.

Here comes the wave

For my mother

Lyrics:

Mommy mommy mommy
Where did you go?
I never got the chance to tell you
That I love you so.
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Why did you leave?
I miss you every day
How do I continue this way?
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.
Mother!
Is it cold?
You faced something to which
We must all race
Death's door
.
Mother!
You're keeping me warm
My memories are blankets around my heart
They help me to mourn
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.
Are there stars where you are?
Can people see your smile?
Are there gardens filled with flowers,
For you to walk around, in?
.
Are there hopeful dreams?
And waterfalls and trees?
Sunny days with music playing?
Do you ever think of me?
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.
Mommy mommy mommy
Mommy mommy mommy
Tell me how
Tell me now
Tell me
.


Tell Me

Tell Me (2022)

I read an article the other day where the term " Single use soldier " was used, poorly trained and ill equipped soldiers who are sent to the front line as a distraction whilst the main offensive is being carried out somewhere else, there is only one outcome for these poor boys, what have we become ?
This song is for all the "Single use Soldiers" Maybe a few of them might hear it before its too late. 

Written and performed and produced by :Johnny Mc Farlane

Single Use Soldier An Anti-war Song

What a wonderful tune Seagull sent me to collaborate on.  His nylon-string and bass playing is lovely but he asked if I could help with a second guitar voice.  The Taylor JKSM seemed the perfect fit with its sweet steel-string acoustic voice.  The undercurrent of meaning in the song is best described by Seagull himself:
"The song is called Stairway, and I realized that it reflects everyone's climb in life. We are encouraged and taught from birth that we must constantly get better at everything. Better upbringing, better behavior, better education, better job, better pay, better things, better health, better parent, better home, better car and so on...But what is the real goal of all this striving? Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with education hopefully producing better and more understanding and empathetic people, and a safer and nicer society. But.....and I think it's a big but.... as we are obviously being trained to buy all the happiness we need in life instead of experiencing it in a peaceful, healthy and experiential life." 
It is a question of what is ultimately important in our life and are we willing to make the climb to reach and attain it.  Something to ponder while you listen:)

Stairway (Seagull, David and Clara Sorace, vocal)

This song was written about this lake, way up high, overlooking the sky. 

I could go anywhere
I could see all the things 
This world has to give
And at the end of it 
I just wanna come to your place

Can I stay here
Can I stay here
Can I stay here
Can I stay

She walks on the water 
He tries not to see
Her reflection
The glow 
But him tells him everything
She stands in the morning 
Her gaze far away
What I found
Do I touch 
Can I stay
Tell me everything

I could go anywhere
I could see all the things 
This world has to give
And at the end of it 
I just wanna come to your place
She walks on the water 
He tries not to see
Her reflection
The glow 
But him tells him everything
She stands in the morning 
Her gaze far away
What I found
Do I touch 
Can I stay
Tell me everything

Can I stay here
Can I stay here
Can I stay here
Can I stay

Lyrics:
(Rest in peace my Salem witch, a prayer for you I miss you bitch)

Never tell her I am gone 
I feel nothin, parkin lot
Old gross lines and cracks of rot
Sick gross fucks who eat on snot
Spirit Halloween store 
Walking round on all fours 
I locked my back door 
Underpass aged whore
Coke powder, Percocet 
Choke on my words you pet 
Pornos for pyros 
Acidbath, Joyce Manor, Beck 
Corpses and bile 
Salem witch hanged by her neck 
Susannah Martin 
Salem witch hanged by her neck 

Susannah Martin
Susannah Martin
Susannah Martin
Susannah Martin

Never write another song 
I feel nothin, body’s gone 
Cold hard lines of cocaine 
Cornerstop girl giving top 
Spirit Halloween store
Cryptid samsara lore 
Never lock my front door
Make-up filled-up her pores 
Scream louder, can’t forget 
Choke on my smoked cigarettes 
Pornos for pyros 
Acidbath, Joyce Manor, Beck 
Corpses and bile 
Salem witch hanged by her neck 
Susannah Martin 
Salem witch hanged by her neck

The music project "Present Paradox" by Dortmund-based David Kleinekottmann provides insights into the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica.
