Best of September 2019

DEEP IN YOUR SOUL

MERLIN – Diary Entry, 18.10.2025
The desert taught me something silence never could —
that fullness isn’t about having more, it’s about being open.
When the air moves, it gives. When the light shifts, it gives.
Everything gives. Everything breathes.

This song is a reminder: one of the most essential states of being
is the awareness of abundance — the quiet knowing that life itself is enough.
When we stop asking, we start receiving.

The bass is the ground. The voice is the wind.
Together they remember what the world already knows:
there is no emptiness here, only flow, only giving, only life.

We believe it is crucial that all young people have access to equipment and instruction regardless of their socio-economic background, religion, race, gender identity, sexuality or ethnicity.

Lyrics
The memory, 
Is drifting with the pain of, 
Analogies, 
That your heart's not to blame for, 
Purposely, 
Tightening the reins on, 
What we had, 
Because now it's not the same. 

But, I'm going to 
Keep on loving you, 
Keep on loving you, 
Keep on loving you... 

Mercury, 
Is in retrograde again and, 
The stars align, 
For this thing to begin, 
Keeping to myself is what I majored in but, 
I've been looking up so now I think I'm in, 

That's why I'm going to, 
Keep on loving you, 
Keep on loving you, 
Keep on loving you... 

Keep on loving you, 
Keep on loving you, 
Keep on loving you...

BRAND NEW SINGLE  'Apartment'

Music Video -  https://youtu.be/mSTftwTQd0k

Apartment

Major Murphy follows up their debut long play No. 1 with a set of bedroom recordings archiving a time when Jacob Bullard was discovering his voice as a songwriter and the band was finding their footing within that space. Named after the house in Grand Rapids, MI that many of these songs were written and recorded in, The Lafayette EP chronicles a liminal space as the project transitioned from a stripped-down, solo project toward a three-piece rock band. The porches and walls of this house on Lafayette Avenue was a natural space for creativity and collaboration, a space where the band recorded early versions of Major Murphy standards that would eventually be taken into the studio.

On "No. 1 (Lafayette Version)" Bullard and drummer, Bud Voortman, jam for the first time what would become the title track of their debut record. “When I Go Out (Cookie Crumb Version)” features textures and instrumentation that differ from the album version. Here Jacki Warren can be heard providing an enchanting harmony, which became a common thread throughout No. 1. With "Come By Sunday" Bullard writes an open-hearted expression of affection that is nostalgic as much as it is forward-thinking. Listening to these tracks is almost like walking past the Lafayette house on a breezy Fall morning, hearing the songs spilling out the windows and down the street. Venture to peer through a window and you just might catch a glimpse of the magic.

Lafayette EP

Major Murphy - Come By Sunday

everything's the same 
lions have been tamed
all we need is something new
safety is the blame
perfect to our name
we don't even have a clue
in it for the chase 
feel it in our veins
had enough of feeling blue
fifteen second fame
now were in the game
sad to say we're leaving soon

'cause we're all captivated by the shock value baby
yeah we're all sitting waiting for the world to go crazy

time to cross the line
time to cross the line
one too many times 
that'll get you stripes
front row to the crime 
but we're feeling fine
watch the people die 
'cause it's not real life
in it for the thrill 
in it for the kill
everybody fights for the space they fill
gotta pay the bills
gotta feel fulfilled
tuned in front and center to catch a spill

'cause we're all captivated by the shock value baby
yeah we're all sitting waiting for the world to go crazy

Something Better
2020

////////////////

Sporting a redcoat with his right hand stamped
All through the night he is pounding out his theme song 
In the search for something better lately
Selling sinking ships and brake-less cars to all the weekend hoppers, 
Should I say something?
Showed up to the nightclub on a space age train
Pomade in his hair and grease on his dead leg
Winning races, didn’t even bother running
Still a shoulder for the friends of all the sunken children 

Step inside the circle
Don’t know him, and I don’t know
How anyone can tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub

Behind the counter she's been mixing and fidgeting the thoughts out of her hair
Venom spews from her snakeskin boots, a narcissistic guru in training
Sporting retro-future, she’s a talker
Dabbled in Gothic erotica, you know 
She can dine with his fetishes and have a feast 
Near the head of a murdered deer

Step inside the circle
Don’t know her, and I don’t know
How anyone can tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub

It’s just my imagination
Strangers I'm creating
But I don’t really care to talk about
Strangers 

Step inside the circle
Don’t know them, and I don’t know
How anyone could tear apart two
Strangers in a nightclub
