Duration: 3 min 40 s
Description: This track was inspired by my feelings of how I think the world has changed, and we are living in uncertain times. Diseases and viruses everywhere and madmen wanting to destroy the planet.

very beautiful Rock with some country feeling in it

Nice one Rick, like the song and arrangement, great stuff Sir

Fantastic performance and great vintage sound. I can feel The Byrds vibe. Awesome! 😎

I love your music. Curious about the new material...

My old mac  dieth a death so here's a bit of a kitchen table bash around .   My fingers are not what they were so i play what i can find.  someday I'll probably wind up bashing out a beat with my head on the refrigerator and singing along. I hope you are all well. If you're dead you'll obviously know it's nothing to worry about...                                I woke up this morning or at least I think that I did...I found my medication and I wrestled with the lid....my bathroom mirror is telling me that I'm not half the man I used to be.....

. I've got a hole in my gut I'm really feeling my age, I'm paying the price for my wicked little ways, I was out last night with a woman from the moon, she says that better days are coming and they're coming soon but I ain't half the man I used to be.

Half the Man. ( Stevek )

On Account Of The Rain

Broken Pearls

Every year I try to make a little song to commemorate remembrance day in November. The month of August is also historically significant, though.  In August 1914 the massed cartoon insanity of old-world braided huffing and puffing empires slammed into stark reality when over the course of a few days: Germany declared war on Russia, France and Belgium; Britain declared war on Germany; Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia; France and Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary; Japan declared war on Germany; and Austria-Hungary declared war on Belgium. Dear God.

Herbert Burden was one of many young men who decided to do “the right thing” and lied about his age to enlist.  He endured 10 months of fighting, shelling and gas attacks in the front line trenches in France, lost many friends and was himself eventually hospitalised.  On discharge from hospital his battalion received orders to return to the front line.  Herbert went AWOL and was found at a neighbouring regiment where he said he had gone to comfort a friend who had lost a brother in the fighting.  

Herbert became the youngest British soldier to be executed by firing squad for desertion.  

He was seventeen years old, alone, given no defence at his trial, blindfolded, arms tied behind his back, lashed to a post and shot at dawn on 21st July 1915.

God rest his soul.

The picture is of a statue of Herbert which stands at the British National Memorial Arboretum as part of an installation to commemorate the 306 of their own soldiers executed by the British Army during WW1.

I felt this needed to be done raw in one take so please excuse the rough edges.

Broken Pearls

Come the night, through singing clouds
Of old men crying on war's recall,
Pastel light hits bleeding shrouds
Still defying, backs to wall.
Morphine hymns through organ pipes
Hairs on end, standard unfurled
Shell shock sins 'neath starburst lights
Set to defend their broken pearls.

His mother spoke through spilling tears
God beside, with angel choirs.
He then awoke – pain chilling sears
Deep inside his burning fires.
Camphor dreams through ether prayers
Uniformed boys mustard gas swirls
Just seventeen, mere child's nightmares.
Discarded toy, of broken pearls.

Weeping crows in ¾ time
Belie the crown, lay down to die.
Wreaths below, left countersigned
Head bowed down, blindfolded eyes.
Hot leaded hopes absolve the rich
Salvo thunder suspends our world
On posted ropes slumped heroes twitch
And rent asunder our broken pearls.

Finally working the Volca Drum back into the mix after not having used it for a little while. I like the lofi effect it gives the drum beat. With this track I leaned a little heavier into the Vital VST I've been experimenting with, also used the old minilogue and microfreak. Thanks for listening!

mister big is coming after you 
nobody knows just what he'll do.
he’s a big husky boy with a persuasive way,
he can get you new shoes for a walk in the bay
mister big’s got something for you
and you’ve got something that he wants too
business is business and friends are friends
do business with big and you’ll be friends to the end

he’s been thinking of you for a week or two
nobody know just what he’ll do
in the middle of the night, maybe he’ll surprise you
then you’ll realize just who holds you tight
mister big is coming after you

pay mister big within his terms
and he could arrange to save you from the worms
if you should default when the debt is due
i think he’ll send mike the hammer after you

and he’s been thinking of you for a week or two
nobody know just what he’ll do
in the middle of the night, maybe he’ll surprise you
then you’ll realize just who holds you tight

mister big is coming after you
in the middle of the night
mister big is coming after you
he’s been thinking ‘bout it for a week or two
mister big is coming after you
he’s been thinking ‘bout it cuz you’re long overdue

cuz business is business and friends are friends
do business with big and you’ll be friends to the end
pay mister big, hey mister big
he’s been thinking of you a week or two
maybe he’ll surprise you,
mister big, mister big
he’s been thinking of you

Mister Big

you were a soul, never meant for this life.
this world is hard, full of trouble and strife.
you were so sensitive, you took it all to heart.
nobody saw, you were breaking apart.

people like you, don't speak out........people like you, full of doubt.

i saw your sadness, is it the same as mine?
another day, wont it turn out fine?
i saw your face,, i never saw the signs.
i didn't know, it was the end of the line.

people like you, don't make a sound......people like you, quietly drown.

such helpul words, are very hard to find.
i wasn't close to you, i didn't know your mind.
i feel so sad, full of sorrow.
now that i know, there's no tomorrow.

people like you, sensitive soul........people like you, leave a hole.

now that you're gone.......and we know your fate.
many tears at your funeral, but now it's all too late.
we must learn from this, nobody is the same.
we can't carry on like this, we should be full of shame.

people like you, dont make a sound........people like you, quietly drown.
people like you, sensitive soul........people like you, whose life we stole.

Sensitive soul.

Energetic – That's how I Feel
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light!

Move Yourself Against the Wind
But Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long
But you Don't Know what to Say!

Move Yourself Into that Space
Where Generosity Never Ends
Like a Fountain Lifts your Face
Where the Sorrow starts to Bend!

Don't Ever Ask
Why am I Here
You're Vital to Us
When Our Path's Unclear                         x2
I Need Your Love, Spirit, and Fire!
Spread Astral Wings
My Pen You Inspire!

Move Yourself Against the Wind – but Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long, but You Don't Know what to say

Energetic – That's how I Feel !
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light !!!
