Newly remastered Darkness
You're such a goody two shoes - don't smoke you don't drink booze - sometimes i wonder - how i hooked up with you - you never let your hair down - hardly ever come around - is it that you think your just too good for me.
I'm starting to think can't handle the pressure got a My Little Pony on your dresser for Christ's sake - still believe in elves and Santa Claus - wonder what's really in those dresser drawers -  every time i walk in i have to pause waiting for the moment you take out your claws I'll never believe your really this nice - accepted a man that's cold as ice.
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
Your so conceited when you show the goodness in you and every time i falter you throw it in my face - I'm such a disappointment yet you still come back for more - in spite of all your sweetness your really a disgrace - 
I'm starting to think that i should run this relationship just isn't fun for me no more - still believe in hugs and holding hands you're so blind that's not who i am - may have been back then who i was - used to hit you up all the time just because but that type of shit's all in the past - you can shove your righteousness up your ass
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
I'm starting to think the roof's caving in  I used to believe I was one with the one who made me sin - truth is i really don't care could really give a shit if you're elsewhere darkness has a hold on me open up my arms and welcome him in even if I'm damned for eternity - i don't give a fuck you're too bright for me 
Chorus

20 years in the making

The Darkness

We have had another magic invite from Mamoru, and Jamie and I have had a lot of fun working with him on this fab classic. It came together quite quickly, as we all felt a lot of empathy with the song and Mamoru's arrangement.
When I finished the vocals, I realised I had sung "take a chance" instead of "shake a hand" on the last line of the second verse..lol.. we left it in!
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it!

Composed by the Trumpeter and Bandleader Joe Morris and originally recorded by Faye Adams in 1953

VERSE 1 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
Daddy heard I was coming 
So he had to leave 
They say he headed south for some kinda job 
And I guess he stayed for something 
But who cares? 
I'm not God. 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

VERSE 2 
I was a learner in the family ways 
Learned to fake behaving 
Devil knows I prayed 
I skipped school easy but learned all my lessons 
Preacher tried to save me 
But said God 
had a Son 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

BRIDGE 
Well, I learned about love and about hate 
Forgiveness and hope 
Some of that had to wait 
I'm just a splinter, a splinter 

OUTRO 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
but God knows 
God knows....God knows

I'm having a hard time creating new stuff because my left 
ear is shut tight. So things might seem off here and there! 

Stay save!

Remixed, tweaked and remastered versions of the first three tracks my lockdown project from back in 2020... Originally mixed on very cheap headphones so I thought it would be interesting to revisit with some better kit. I'l upload the rest of the tracks at some point...

The increase in asylum seekers from the future has become a social problem.
In their world, it seems, one can't choose how to live, and one can no longer die.

They did simple jobs that were inefficient with machines.
Provided a minimal living, but it was only a minimum one.

They are waiting for the end of the world.
Feeling hopeless and taking bitter medicine.

Disconnected from the network for the first time in their lives, they look uneasy.
They have never chosen or made a mistake.
That hinders social participation.

They have no sense of belonging to a country because the borders have changed so many times.

They live in hiding in a society of the past.
Feeling hopeless and taking bitter medicine.

Their presence is a huge financial burden, but sending them back is not easy.
There are humanitarian issues and technical difficulties involved.

They seem normal, except for their use of strange slang.
They don't seem to be very good at expressing their opinions.

They've fled to this age in the hope of degenerating.
Feeling hopeless and taking bitter medicine.

Bitter medicine / collaboration with Pablo Dario Martin

Jaua Experience

A song written by former cherished bandmates…always loved! Written by Dave Dean and Jon Kott!
Cover pic is from my former Beatles band gig in 2019 downtown Farmington, MI… called Dig A Phony… check them on SoundCloud and YouTube! I’m in a lot of videos!!😀

Subtle Disposition

The golden ages of the past
Seem distant now, seem distant now
And all the things we said back then
Keep coming around, keep coming around

CHORUS
So, in my life, i dont know what we're coming to
So, in the world i don't know what its coming to 

Its a strange combination
Higher tech but a lesser nation
We now have hot showers and all mod cons
But we step over people on the way to proms

Chorus

Our politicians seem so pointless now, so pointless now
The lifeblood has been sucked out of the here and now

381. the older i get, the more leftwing i become (harding).mp3

A big thank you to Ian Greaves aka (IPG1)for this wonderful opportunity by providing his acapella vocals.

Lyrics: Modern Times by IPG1
Verse 1
Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams ————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————- Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice Chorus Modern times---- a difficult maze Where screens captivate —— the Information Age And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2 Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus** Bridge Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—- Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3 Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus** Outro In this digital age---we must find our way Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life With the key to our future——a new vision insight

Modern Times (Feat. IPG.1) ARAPA

I can tell you that I enjoy every kind of music when it comes out from sincere feelings.  Eclectism is king here!
Music is a language we all share and I enjoy its never ending richness. 

Total DIY here : I'm no real musician since I can't play any instrument except twiddling a DAW and music theory is like an unknown territory to me (I did try tough!).

You'll find lots of various music genres here. I like trying different roads. Experimenting brings me great fun! 

I'm open to collaboration, electronic, trip hop, rock, ambient... Whether you are a singer, rapper, guitarist,drummer you're welcome. Let's see what we can achieve. 



FR: une sorte de bricoleur de sons sans prétentions, pas vraiment musicien mais je m'éclate à assembler du midi et de l'audio tels les Lego adorés de mon enfance;et le tout en essayant d'apprivoiser la théorie musicale  ... mais je crains que c'est elle qui ne veut pas de moi ! 

Influences multiples pour des résultats éclectiques et imprévisibles

Promiscuous
