Name: The Puppet King by Ralston Van Der Schyff
Duration: 2 min 16 s
Description: From the upcoming album Attic Story, this single The Puppet King is the story of the king of all the toys in the attic. A stern, yet fair and kind king commanding the respect of all toys. He makes a bold entrance onto the floor, greeting both small and tall toys before gracefully bidding farewell from across the other side of the attic.

Fantastic piano work..love the ambient atmosphere..excellent mix & recording!

Thank you very much Frans. I appreciate it 😊🙏

This song is John Mayall's tribute to a blues history giant living in Hollywood's Laurel Canyon many years ago. Bob Hite had an enormous collection of 78rpm blues artists "goin' back through the years, hear any record you choose".

I've been singing this song in public for many years without knowing Bob Hite (The Bear) "rolled" his last in 1981. Mea culpa.

The repertoire of Canned Heat and John Mayall has been a constant reference throughout my musical life.

Silver Lining

D'une manière très particulière (In a very unusual manner) by Erik Satie

I've never thought that I ever write a tango... And here it is, after playing with Valhalla Supermassive plugin it emerged out of nowhere. I hope You'll enjoy listening to it or even try to dance to it, even if it sounds a little apocalyptic ;)

Kings of Dark Desires - My Darkest Desire

Mechanical Rain

Huddled in a hallway making secret mindless chatter
A finger that points at you and the giggles that come after
Spreading all the latest news, those Lilliputians
Find their strength in number

Walk towards a noisy room, deathly quiet when you enter
Look across those shallow eyes that turn and smuggly whisper
Wait your turn in line, (I am waiting), but the teller
Shuts his wicket on your number

Had enough of this, small talk
The most useless information
Oh Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
When you're the last to know

Mutated seeds that snowball down the biggest mountains
Contaminated water flowing from never ending fountains
And it's carried on by all the empty lives
Living someone else's

Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse the situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
And you're the last to know

When you're the last to know
Small talk, enough of that, small talk, ya,
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
