one fell swoop

Back in the USSR

Another recent Morry project. Cover of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) song from the 80s. I have no clue how he did all the instrumentation but he recorded using his Tascam DP24. 

Song info: "So in Love" is a 1985 song by English electronic band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released as the first single from their album Crush. It reached the top 30 of both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming their first entry on the latter. The track was a top 10 hit in Belgium and Holland.

A Single Loop of Fortunes) /
copyright jo richter: 

infernal energies, blake said
are unleashed in printing,
etching their way to Jerusalem

once I slept, Blake said
on a mountain and the heavens
weighed down on me, hard

now I drink, Blake said
the deep-sea ink of the valleys,
saturating every fibre in me

as for relief, Blake said,
the relief must spawn, for who wants
to make do without colours and copies

spawn

spawn - on printing 4/6

if ya don't know where you gonna go
how you gonna ever place it

if ya don't ride with the moonlight
how will you know that the time has arrived

so rise
and shine

if you don't know how to unload
how ya ever gonna take off

if you're undone check into the sun
maybe you'll make your way up

so rise
and shine

how do ya know
if you don't know
how do you grow
if you don't show
what do ya say
what are you for
under the sun
everything's wonderful

so rise

if you don't wait you won't be late
take a little time to contemplate

let it go 'n see where it all shakes out
'til you really know what it's all about

so rise
'n shine

rise

Meeting @fadysporz on Soundcloud back in 2018 felt like a meeting of soulmates. There is a mutual respect for each other’s work and i wrote the track with room for Fadys heavenly synth work in mind and also with the idea that he joins Cindy and me in the vocal work. With Fady having the ability to ‘read’ the way of the songwriting and harmony construction it was effortless to work together - he is a fantastic musician. Thank you Fady for joining us here! 

how can you sleep, did you sleep
how dare you sleep?
when the water already laps your feet
it's time to move offbeat

you are the rider on the withe horse on the dike

gone with the flow
gone with the flow
don't let it all take you away

how would we guard what we love
if we were stuck behind a broken dike
how would we save what has to be saved
without a heart and nothing but an angry mind

we are the children of the flood

gone with the flow
gone with the flow
don't let it all take you away
we are the children of the flood

Lyrics

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins

I love you now
And I loved you then
I loved you way back when…..
Everything was shiny and new
You know I had a Burnin’ Love for You
(Chorus)
It’s like a Hurt without the Pain
Like the Wet without the Rain
Like a Fire without a Flame
(Yes) Yet, it keeps on Burnin’ just the same
My Burnin’ Love for You
My Burnin’ Love for You
Oh Yeah, My Burnin’ Love for You
(Bridge)
For what is love if it blows away….
On the slightest windy day?
Do you think we’ll ever regret
All the things we should just forget?
And over all those years
The laughs, the hugs, the tears
We held on through thick and thin
Then, I loved you all over again
Oh, I loved you all over again
But, My Love still burns for You
And, My Love still burns for You

Sunny Beaches All Around

If you dance with the devil then you need to consider that the hell is loose. If a church organ can keep him calm is not guaranteed neither that you can calm him down with a smooth ending ... so up to you to decide, if you dare that dance or not ...

Thanks again to Amanda for for joining on this track and helping shut that window!  Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Love
so wise
Love
Breathing's not a bother 
when you take in all the light inside

Love 
so brave
Love
Backed into a corner
Gonna hold for hurricanes
You say

Well maybe we fit every fold, every fold
You take a little weight..
You take a little weight off the soul
So don't let go

For loves
will last in time
Alright?
For loves 
will last in time
Alright?

(Love can never be lost
can never unwind
Love can never be wrong
can never be wise)

Love
don't fade
Love
backed into a corner
well
gonna hold for hurricanes in rain

Loves Last (by Amanda and Paul)

Here's a song about an army of corn marching on a town at midnight. (Hey, these things happen in Wisconsin.)
Main guitars on this are a Vintage Modified Stratocaster and a Gretsch 5622T. The combination of the classic Strat tone and the Gretsch's Super HiLotron pickups is a recipe I personally love.
A single from the upcoming Penelope's Thrill album, "Twilight on Tunnel Road," due out on April 26, 2021.
All the songs on "Twilight on Tunnel Road" are about Lonnie and Chloe, who grow up on adjacent farms on the edge of the Driftless Area of Southern Wisconsin. This song is about Chloe's recurring dream of a vast army of corn marching at midnight toward the town. Ever since she was a child, Chloe has dreamed about the billowing ocean of corn covering the undulating hills around their farmhouse--the tall, thick stalks that towered above her head with leaves that looked like arms. The way the corn swayed in the wind made the stalks seem like people, like an orderly crowd of people standing in rows, or--by moonlight--a vast army. She dreamed about this corn army, sometimes imagining herself their queen. When she grew older, she would joke with Lonnie about this. Lonnie would call her Queen of the Corn and refer to cornfields as her troops.
LYRICS:
“The Edge of Town”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

When you’re feeling so low,
getting so you’re feeling so run down,
you’re heading for the edge of town.

When your mind starts slipping,
when your head is tripping round,
you listen for a certain sound.

You go walking late at night, look at the distant lights
that flicker in the midnight sky.
You don’t see no one. That’s because you are going
deep beyond the edge of town.

Now the night wind’s shifting,
looking at the cornfields stretching wide
like an army in the night.

You see corn troops moving,
marching through the midnight fields alive,
heading to the edge of town.

And the pine trees sifting…the messages drifting down
from the moon into your eyes.
Now the oak trees wonder why you stare up at the sky
so rootless and alone.

Noctilucent clouds are
drifting past the moon and I
wonder why you’re looking down.

Armies of corn are marching
down the hillsides toward the town
sleeping silent in the night.
