It's mostly a lie, mostly......except for love, sometimes. 

Look…Drones!

I forgot all about recording this but here are the lyrics:)
Into The Grey


Church Bells ring
A spring morning
I lay half asleep 
Dreaming the day away
There not much else to do
When the world shrinks around you
And colours  fade into  the grey

Sweet Bird song
High up in the trees
I'm Alone with my thoughts 
That often lead me  astray 
There not much to believe in
when God made me this way
And colours fade into the grey

Hot Sun
Warm the earth below
a corner remains cold
Bittersweet
Love leaves you reeling
And colours fade into the grey.

Wave Crash
Rock below have a siren call
Wishing I Could Fly
But instead I slip slide like everyone
Slide a little further into the Grey.

And Colours fade into the Grey(to fade)

Into The Grey 13-06-25-2

Old song from the 1990s record for first time on Ableton live.
Title: Angel in the Chapel
Note this isnt a religous song it was years later when I went back to it that i relized Image wise i was inspired my a movie from my Childhood:)
Should be called Perservere as it was really hard to record both vocal and play the guitar at same time.Very basic mix/master.
Lyrics:

  Angel in the Chapel.


The Congregations quietens
the Priest takes a deep breathe
his blessed hellfire sermon 
once scared the most devout to death.
And somewhere in the chapel 
theirs the sound of flapping wings
I think theirs an Angel in the Chapel
listen close your hear her weeping


The light of many candles 
keeps the dark of night at bay
and a priest who once waxed lyrically
 finds he  has nothing left to say
theirs a hush of expectation
 a calm before the storm
I'm sheltering among strangers
 waiting for the dawn


I stumbled into this place 
with nothing but the clothes upon my back
with my pockets full of empty promises
looking for the something which I lacked
an empty eyed gargoyle figure
 stood guard above the door
moonlight through a stain glass
 window cast an image of an Angel on the floor

So I took my place among them
Lost n Lonely ragged refugees
The wind outside began to rise
the priest fell to his knees
the wind made the church bell toll
no souls are saved this night
outside a cloud covered the moonlight
The Angel in the chapel took flight.

Angel In The Chapel

Hawaii? I feel like we’re in the Jungle..

Robert W Orpin :Where The Waves Reach For The Shore-acoustic

Written in 1994 
Inspire by a Conversation with my Mum who told me about two Uncle who were at Dunkirk during WW2 one died  there and the other was captured and died later in a POW Camp in Poland.

Recorded via two Channel (Voice+guitar) Condenser r microphone on ableton live .

Lyrics :


where the waves reach for the shore

Where the river meets the sea 
That's where im gonna be
that where I’ll be evermore
where the waves reach for the shore

Band played on Remembrance day parade
bent backs are marching, what souls were saved?
But I will sleep and March No more
Where the waves reach for the shore

The Rain comes down to wash away the tears
They Lay a wreathe every year
And the Parades march on into history
One day none will remain who remember me

Where the River, Meets the sea
a turn downed corner of a school book a lesson in history
a shallow youth stares out the window bored
out to where the waves reach for the shore.

Where The Waves Reach For The Shore - acoustic

Robert W Orpin:All The Things You Said

Old song recorded for first time on Ableton Live
Guitar and Voice via condensor Microphone on two channels
EQ and Reverb added

Lyrics :



All The Things You Said

Loves ...Loves complexities
made a sad and lonely fool of me

The world for me has a tarnished gleam
these days all I do is dream
nights lie awake within a lonely bed
thoughts of you running through my head
because of all the things you said

Love….Love changes Hue
Darker deeper shade of blue

Days merge into one
outside people think im strong
but they don’t see the tears that I have shed
oh how this broken heart has bled
when I think of everything you said

Loves...Loves sad n lonely fool
who fell head over heels in love with you

Love on the Carousel
On the Dodgems, waltzer as well
when I held you close  I was scared to break the spell
but now summer from autumn had fled
and im left with everything you said

When you said you loved me
on that endless summers day
we carved are names within a heart on the beach
then watched as the sea washed it away

Loneliness is my silent friend
in his company a lot of time I spend

I wander from room to room
not knowing what to do
when all I want is you
my heart is wrapped and tied in threads
those thread are everything you said

(Orpin 1995)

Lyrics:


Atleast That What Kurt Says

I cast no shadow 
So I walk alone 
Soaked to the skin 
Chilled to the bone
In the distance
A band Plays deep in the night
The Stars bare witness
Such a pituful  sight

I'm  here
It's not where I wanna be
No comfort no fun
Just feeling so numb
I'm  here
It's not where I wanna be
There a comfort in sadness
Atleast that what Kurt said

I cast no shadow
Except under streetlights
Which flicker and fail
As I pass through the night
In the distance
 A dog howls at the moon
But I just keep walking
Im At one with this gloom.

I'm a here
It's not where I wanna be
No comfort no fun
Just feeling so numb
I'm  here
It's not where I wanna be
There a comfort in sadness
Atleast that what Kurt said

Give me the night
It's for the sad and in love 
I cast no shadow 
So I walk alone 
Soaked to the skin 
Chilled to the bone
Is it rain on my skin
Is it tears in my eyes

I cut a sad figure 
In a brilliant disguise

I'm  here
It's not where I wanna be
No comfort no fun
Just feeling so numb
I'm  here
It's not where I wanna be
There a comfort in sadness
Atleast that what Kurt said

I'm  here
It's not where I wanna be
No comfort no fun
Just feeling so numb
I'm  here It's not where I wanna be
There a comfort in sadness
Atleast that what Kurt said
Give me the night It's for the sad and in love.
There a comfort in sadness
 Atleast that's what Kurt said.

lyrics: 
Gasp -

123 
I just need u here w me 
I just hope that we can make 
so let’s lay here 
and wish on stars (x2)
I just sit and look at the waves
Seen serenity and beauty when I look at ur face 
Dancing thru reflections remind me of adolescence and I don’t know what I’m feeling but the feeling is great 
Ay u just remind me of Summer
Like I been thinking baby maybe u could come be my lover 
And we could spend time w each other 
watching fireflies glide thru the sky up above us 
Ur my dearly beloved and I could never ever ever see my self w another 
We could fall in love w each other , I feel the watercolors comin from the sky up above us 
We can dance on the beach, and motion of the tide will coincide w the beat 
Honestly u all that I see that moonlight shine as u smile at me 
I hear that  1 2 3  thats my heart beat 
And we can wish on stars that will make it far 
And we can sleep away all the rainy days
 And I just feel so safe when ur here w me 
lilbootycall-
oh man i’m sick and tired of all this hate 
sometimes i just wanna drive far away 
get up out my mind for a minute 
i been feeling trapped feel like imma die while i’m living 
ah damn 
man i ain’t shit to no one 
i’m a bitch? it takes one to know one 
lately i been on my shit 
tell them cloning mothafuckas they can suck my dick 
cause they b on it more than my girl 
who make me wanna kill myself 
yeah the whole world 
who make me wanna love myself 
yeah the gold things 
cause i usually don’t when 
i think of old things 

ah man 
man look at my shoes 
and they off white bitch 
and they are brand new 
and i got zip ties 
around my old neck
i gotta end my old self if i want next on god

At Least that what Kurt said
