Minding Science Ep_1_RTX

A folk protest song in support of the migrants.

In the choppy straits of Dover
Not far from Folkestone sands
Arrives a daily flux of people
Fleeing their motherland

Our PLCs made weapons
That blew their houses in
The horrors that they’ve witnessed
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin 

Who accepts the burden?
Who here is to blame?
If we do not vote for progress
Things will always stay the same

Murdoch and the Mail
Try to spin us evil lies
That these people are subhuman
They are beasts to be despised

Then we saw the graphic horror
Of the body in the sand
A boy lay dead from drowning
What became of our great land?
What became of our great land?

Who accepts the burden?
Who here is to blame?
If we do not vote for progress
Things will always stay the same 

Who am I to take the high ground?
Who are you to take it too?
If we cared more to help the needy
And ignored the selfish few
Maybe bombs would not be needed
And baby refugees
Would not die in British/friendly seas
So politicians hear my pleas
The burden lies with you

This is the third single from “Sky Lanterns.” We wanted to write another high energy track and hopefully we’ve achieved it.

We would love to know what you think of it? :D

RAINBIRD - The wake-up call for #ClimateAction that had Twitter singing into the night...

The full #ClimateChange backstory of this song is on the blog My Doctor's Handwriting: https://mydoctorshandwriting.com/2019/05/03/song-in-the-dark-turning-my-climate-anxiety-into-action/

Our little band‘s studio demo Rainbird is a #ProtestSong that arrived amid the madness of the May 2019 Federal #ClimateElection. 

It’s about the Eastern Koel, aka Black Cuckoo or Rainbird, whose migratory range has extended south to Melbourne in the last 5 years or so. They arrive from Asia in November with the first hot nights that have us opening our windows for relief.

It’s poetic justice that their piercing two note call keeps us awake with an ever-longer summer ahead of us: we need a wake-up call now more than ever.

Please share the wake-up call!

Lyrics

Rainbird don’t cry
Don’t wake the baby, that won’t do
I think maybe you’re an angel dark and true, black cuckoo
Sent to tell us 
Something we don’t want to hear
So far south this time of year
Summer came to town too early
We’re all tired of talking about why
It’s like we know, but we just wanna sleep
We curse the heat and throw our windows high
Every night you get to weeping
Ko-el ko-el ko-el!
And the neighbours complain
Say you’ll drive us all insane
Blame the bird, that’s a good idea
So far south, this time of year
Rainbird don’t cry
Don’t wake the baby, that won’t do
I think maybe you’re an angel dark and true, black cuckoo
Sent to tell us 
Something we don’t want to hear
So far south this time of year
Words and music

Rainbird - Rainbird Demo

Introducing Ryan Fox, a UK Americana artist from  Kent, England. His unique, popular sound and poetic, witty lyrical style draws from influences as diverse as early Dylan to Noel Gallagher, from Johnny Cash to Elton John, from Bruce Springsteen to Stephen Sondheim.
 
Ryan's songs have reached the finals of the UK Songwriting Contest and been featured on the Disabled People Against Cuts website. He has played the Acoustic Sessions at Rainham three times and Tunbridge Wells’ The Forum twice.
 
Ryan had classical piano lessons from an early age and picked up a guitar at uni, his early influences including Oasis, Coldplay and, naturally, The Beatles. He developed his songwriting in his 20s, largely owing to meeting musical guru Dr Richard Niles, who pushed Ryan out of his comfort zone to explore fresh sonic/lyrical ground - to try new things.
 
Ryan worked with several singers and played in numerous bands in this time of nurture and reflection. He decided to go solo in order to realise his creative ambitions.
 
Ryan is seeking festival slots for summer 2024 and will commence gigging again in early 2025, having taken a hiatus to concentrate on being a new dad.

Ryan releases a new song each month for streaming and purchase on all the major online outlets. He is currently re-working some songs with producer Scott Evans.
