when I water the plants ahead of rain
I think about how little I have done
and having lost many friends for one I gained
makes me wonder are the best times gone?

I gotta say it’s a good thing
that every glen and every crag’s still full of wonder
next time we go hunting
let’s not speak until we learn to speak like thunder 

like thunder
where the syrup’s so sweet
even assassins aren’t willing to die
thunder
where the river’s so quick
even salmon are needing to fly
thunder
where the skies are so laden with gold
even nomads are hammering nails  
thunder
where the grass is so tall
every damnation fails
thunder

when I tell our kids to watch their six  
I marvel at how little I have done
as if a string of words will make the winds 
prop them up and even steer them as they run

we must declare it a good thing
that tiny circumstance can tear our peace asunder 
next time we go hunting
let’s not speak until we learn to speak like thunder

yeah, thunder
where the silk is so smooth
no shirt or skirt ever stays on the skin
where the dawns are so new
not a child nor a man knows the shell that they’re in
where the oceans are vaster
than even the cosmos would seem to permit
where a moment can last us
for all of the lives we have poured into it

when I hold your hand like we were meant
to reach a destination by tonight
yeah we should walk but let’s not pretend
we can cross more than a puddle in our stride

we flash before the thunder calls
before the thunder calls
so let’s not speak at all
till we've been where it goes

Burning Skies is single promoting my debut ep called "Fire in the Sky".

Burning Skies

Bad Bart - COMBSTEAD / Robert Grigg

This piano quintet is deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban music and its spiritual forces. Each movement represents a deity called Orisha, and showcases the diverse rhythms and melodies of Afro-Cuban culture, with the Orisha Shango, the lord of drums and thunder, serving as the focal point.

The second movement, "Raging Volcano," is divided into three sections. The first section builds up to the eruption, representing Agayu, the master of volcanoes and the road. The fast-paced and dissonant eruption is followed by a haunting descent of dissonant strings, with the piano gradually fading away like a heartbeat, leaving an image of desolation.

Piano Quintet No 1 - 2nd Movement Raging Volcano (Virtual Pre-Premiere)

You dont get time to think it out. [carry on]
Always lots of drink about. [sing your songs]
There's lots that you can't know.
From far below. 

There's a need to claim respite,
There's a way to end each night.
There's a place where you can go to carry on.
You can feel it in the pit.
Of your stomach where it hits.
Like a hot knife that is saying you've gone wrong.

You won't get half the time you need. [carry on]
Careful of the signs you heed. [sing your songs]
[won't be long]
[can't be wrong]
There's places left to go.
Which all lay you low.

We made off with the buskers guitars,
and stood and played oasis songs for hours.
You lead all the dancing in the crowd,
and clapped your hands off beat to keep them roused.
They called out requests and gathered round,
while we just both ignore their pleas aloud.
More, they cried as I played facelessly.
The people who would view me sceptically.

Inside you might be crying out [carry on]
Sure that there us no way out. [sing your songs]
You'll face the day alone.
Pulled down so low.

We can go here after bar.
Sinister you are.
One day you'll need a place to call your home.
Just keep pushing alone.
The night that you must roam.
There's only one straw that will break your back.

No point in trying to work it out. [carry on]
Have you ever tried to think it out? [sing your songs]
[won't be long]
[can't be wrong]
Nowhere left to go.
Except far below.

In any beam of sunlight of the day.
You'd cross the street and pass the other way.
Whilst our attempts to reach the other side.
Are met with naught but frowns and lack of pride.

You lead your procession to the clouds.
Whilst those who must remain just scrabble bout.
Looking for a fragment of your peace.
Least hoping to hang on to some relief.

Always lots to think about. [carry on]
Always too much drink about. [sing your songs]
[won't be long]
[can't be wrong]
Carry on alone. 
dragged down below.
