SMOKE

Growing up, looking up
I have never had my toast buttered on both sides
I started crying the day 
I watched my father clearing the overgrown weeds at the top of the garden and realised 
And realised
That wasn’t what he was doing
Ooh no

It was a still day 
So still
It was a still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
And another
Five years

There was a silence 
Where my beautiful dead brother still lived between us 
And that quietness wasn’t burned with the weeds

It was a still day
It was a still life 
So still
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes
Five years
Another
Five years

Digging the sod in Donegal 
Praying for muscle, bunched like a ball 
Sweat and pride loved standing tall 
Anticipating 
Eye-watering 
Peat-stove fire 
That would 
Warm 
Cook 
And flavour our bones

It was a still day 
Still day
It was a still life 
Still life
And the smell of the smoke never quite left our clothes

Another
Five years
And another
Five years...

Five years
Tick tock
Five years
My father lost his sense of smell and his pulse in cenotaph central heating
Five years
And my orphaned senses 
Five years
Still feel that fire

And smell that smoke...

Days Gone By

I asked Phil to do this cover with me because I thought his voice would be very nice on this tune. He created this nice bed for us to sing over. Thank you Phil, your voice sounds sweet, just like I thought it would ! And thank you Pete T.  for the beautiful tune

Blue, Red And Grey - Who cover with Phil McWalter

Written for a family whose child has a medical problem, and because they were poor were were wrongly accused of it being the mother's fault. They battled the courts for four years.  He recently passed on from brainstem neurodegenerative disease that he had when the nightmare began.  Mayo Clinic now has his brain for research as his condition was so rare.

She’s a single mother with a very low income			
He’s an eight year old who knows there’s nothing that he’s done
To be torn from his mother, his sisters and his brother
It’s the only life he knew and he loved it like not other

But you don’t give up, you don’t give up, you don’t give up, or give in
You know; you don’t give up, you don’t give up, you don’t give up, or give in

We’re always thinking of you Aaron, you’re always on our mind
We know your lonely, you know we love you all the time
How can some strangers say what’s good for you or I
There’s one who knows best, look in the child’s eye

The world is crumbling round me, its in a dizzy spin
With all I see and hear, my heart is full and breaking
I could end up on a mountain top or in a deep prison
But I know I never, never give up or give in

But we won't give up, we won't give up, we won't give up, or give in
You know; we won't give up, we won't give up, we won't give up, or give in

Don't Give Up

OPC - Don't Give Up

My latest track, it's always a struggle to define the right genre.


See you at the open office party and yes, everybody is invited :=)

Trials And Tribulations Chapter 2

Songwriter Tim Deacon Arranger By Tom Reock Keyboard, Mark Sacco Drummer & Joe Hoyer  Guitarist

01 Bell To Hell

Written in 1995.  I thought of the title, got a dictionary, a thesaurus, picked up my guitar and 15 minutes later I had this.  Listen with headphones.


The Soul is Defined


The soul is defined,
As our spiritual part,
The soul is defined,
As what we keep in our heart,
It’s the wheels on our car,
Going‘round and around,
Forever searching.

The soul is defined,
As our passions and affections,
The soul is defined,
As our moods and imperfections,
Our dislikes, our predilections,
Going ‘round and around,
To keep us searching.

But there’s more to this 
Than you’ll read in a book,
There’s more to this 
If you’d just take a look,
What I feel inside,
whatever emotion
Whatever frame of mind,
What makes me whole,
That’s my soul.

The soul is defined,
As what drives us along,
The soul is defined,
As what makes us belong,
It’s what’s keeping us strong,
Going ‘round and around,
Always searching.

Avoiding all confusion,
It’s all down to evolution,
But that doesn’t stop me singing,
There’s more to this
than what you’re thinking…

The soul is defined,
As our spiritual part,
The soul is defined,
As what we keep in our heart,
It’s the wheels on our car,
Going‘round and around,
Forever searching.

The Soul Is Defined

I Recently had the pleasure and the honor of working on a Furico Music Team-music works Album project. A Fantastic and wonderfully complex collection of 10 songs  simply called "Leaked Live FMT 1" and "Leaked Live FMT2". I am presenting this song With FMT and Windscale Blues Experiment's kind permission.  It is a first take out-take that i was quite Taken with, And quite a bit different than the final cut. Thanks for the listen and Please check this "Live" album out!😊🕉
Lyric..
I just had and idea about an idea about an idea that someone else had.
The Cats were meowing the Farmers were plowing
The Earth was spinning around and around.
There are a few moments that are truly sublime
but most of the time, that's just not the case.
one thing iI've learned in this life that's true.
One psychopath is better than two.

I thought it was dollar but it just turned out to be a dime
i thought that i had found true love but i got out just in time
I thought it was a favor but it turned out to be Crime,
I thought it was just a moment, but it took up all my time..
