Frawstakwa’s verses

make some noise - the people need to hear us so
make some noise - we’re turning up the stereo
make some noise - yo - everywhere we go
there we go again - here we go - yo - yo

turn it up - I said to turn it up - let’s get it going y’all
certain cuts just have that certain something and it shows
see I’ve learned to trust the track will just instruct me where it’s going
with the words constructed into verses funky fresh the flow
yo
word ‘em up I’ve heard enough for now (such a know it all)
stir the pot one puff to burn it up I’m in the zone
got me swerving plus I feel my nerves are touched (suffering overload)
it hurts so much which is perfect because you lose control
yo
I’m serving what they’re starving for that food for thought was frozen
so I thawed it out and warmed it up to feed it to the chosen
people out of many we are one 
each person that is present at this meeting 
make some noise - let ‘em know
——
make some noise - the people need to hear us so
make some noise - we’re turning up the stereo
make some noise - yo - everywhere we go
there we go again - here we go - yo - yo

IPG1's Verses

more than they can handle so they gotta let us go
If you catch us  acting—-crazy back to hell up —-real slow
And don’t paraphrase me— we excel with the flow
So-this is where—- we switch it up—— now you know——lets go

Make some noise—-this is Lou Osiavo 
Make some noise—-getting loose —come on now let’s go
Make some noise—-from Moscow to Chicago—now you know -now you know—
Come on baby let’s go

We getting loud—-pandemonium in the street—that’s how we do y’all 
Drawing crowds—-the sound is elite—-let’s keep it musical
having fun without a care—finding common ground— getting down -with people everywhere 

we ain’t too proud —-we bring the noise—-disturb the peace
We like it loud—— Beats on steroids—-that kickdrum is a beast
So check us out——as we throwing up —-signs of peace
wherever we go—-we bring the noise—-delivering the heat—the heat—the heat!!!

Make Some Noise--A Danke Noetic Production

It always amazes me how a collaboration can change the whole feeling of a song. Such is the case when Cloud artist Devin Locke reached out to me to collaborate.  I sent him a tune I had been working on, but would not necessarily stand on it's own.  What he did with his fine playing, getting inside the basic melody, bringing out the possibilities, reminded me of the playing of Django Reinhardt and helped me hear the song in a whole new light.  For more of Devin's fine playing check out  soundcloud.com/devin-locke.  To hear a wonderful vocal version of this song, check out: @myckael-marcovic/si-django-avait-joue

Conversation At A French Cafe (with fine guitarist Devin Locke)

Joe Hill, Swedish emigrant, songwriter, working class hero, was the inspiration behind this song.

A poll released on August 16th found that nearly half of Americans who support Biden plan to vote by mail rather than in person on election day, compared with just one in ten backers of Trump.

Big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein for his beautiful raw playing that takes this song from its humble ‘rural’ beginnings into big ‘city’ overdrive. And to Yaron Engler for his deft drum programming.

No letter in the post for Joe
No letter in the post for Joe
Where’s that vote
In an envelope
No letter in the post for Joe

He needs that letter to make things better 
Why’s it so damn slow
Don’t stop clapping
Until it happens
No  letter in the post for Joe  
      
Click, snap, a letter box flap
Tell me yes or no? 
If that my vote
In an envelope
That’s all I need to know
Or I tell you Joe might blow

No Letter In The Post For Joe (ft. Jonathan Beckenstein)

A song for my brother Jim. Redone fuller version with some new lyrics, fuller instrumentation, bridge added etc. , still working on some better mastering but mostly finished. Thank you Morry for doing all the creative instrumentation and bridge! 

I put this smile on every morning
to hide the obvious trace
Of the tears that keep falling nightly
with their bitter and haunting taste

Blame keeps surging up inside me
drowning what was once a spark
If I could have you here beside me
I'd find a way to mend your broken heart

I've been holding on so tightly
I've been pushing down my heart
But it keeps rising up to spite me
Rising up to find its missing part

There are times I feel you present
though my mind knows that you have gone
Just beyond the answers we keep searching for
in a bird, the rising sun, a song

I've been holding on so tightly
I've been pushing down my heart
But it keeps rising up to spite me
Rising up to find its missing part
	 
I see you standing beside me
I can hear your words 
I wonder if you are lonely, lonely as I am without you
Some nights it takes over
Some days I can hold it far away 
But when I'm quiet I hear it inside me
knocking louder the longer I stay

I've been holding on so tightly
I've been pushing down my heart
But it keeps rising up to spite me
Rising up to find its missing part

I put this smile on every morning
To hide the obvious trace
Of the tears that keep falling nightly
With their bitter and haunting taste

Background

This is my take on an old traditional song. The earliest reference I've discovered is around 1847.  It supposedly had other titles 'The Grinders' and 'The Saddle on the Right Horse'  

It is a vivid description of the lot of Sheffield Grinders, working and often dying early in life due to their trade. The 'Grinding Hull's' mentioned in the lyrics were grim places, full of particles of metal and dust from the grinding wheels. Historical evidence suggests boys were often apprenticed from nine to twelve years of age.

Through my working career I was employed in the Steel Industry engaged in scientistic work and environmental research, quite a bit of it related to occupational health problems, So it is no surprise to me and very fitting that I wanted to get this song recorded. As a Sheffield lad born and bred it connects for me I guess. 

Apparently a version of this traditional song was recorded by 'The Ian Campbell Group' in 1972 and the band 'Afterhours' from their eponymous cassette only album from 1988. After hearing the 'Afterhours' 1988 version, I decided to work up a DADGAD guitar arrangement of my own.  Here is the result.
---------------------------------------------------
Instrumentation and Arrangement

I wanted a simple arrangement for this song as really it's all about the lyrics and overall message. I used a DADGAD guitar tuning and aimed for a strum pattern that hopefully reflects the cyclical rhythmic quality of the grindstones in use.

After the main vocals was recorded I decided a bit of backing vocals would add a bit of extra spice to the overall song. Sometimes voice and guitar is all you really need. :-)

The Sheffield Grinder (Lyrics around 1847)
**( with small revisions for this version)
(Photograph taken from the Illustrated London News 1866)

The Sheffield grinder's a terrible blade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
'Fore he sets his little 'uns down to trade.
Tally ho, the grinder!
He sets ‘em all down to grind in the hull,
Till their bodies are stunted and their eyes are dull,
And their brains are all dizzy and dazed in their skulls.
Tally ho, the grinder!

He shortens his life and he hastens his death.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he’ll drink steel dust with every breath.
Tally ho, the grinder!
And he won't wash his hands ‘ere he eats a meal
And he won’t wear a mask as he grinds at his wheel
And he’ll die as he’s lived, as hard as cold steel.
Tally ho, the grinder!

(Instrumental)

The Sheffield grinders of whom we do speak.
Tally ho, the grinder!
Well they’re men who’ll earn just one pound a week.
Tally ho, the grinder!
But of Sheffield grinders another sort
Methinks ought to be called to court,
Aye, and that’s the grinding Government Board.
Tally ho, the grinder!

At whose door lies the blacker blame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Oh where lies the heavier weight of shame?
Tally ho, the grinder!
Is it the famine-price contractor's head,
Or on the workman who’s under-fed,
And who grinds his own bones and his children’s for bread?
Tally ho, the grinder!

The Sheffield Grinder

Inspired by Felix Baumgartner and his jump from a helium balloon in the stratosphere on 14th Oct 2012. He fell an estimated 39km and broke the sound barrier!
Humanity is capable of amazing and brilliant things.
