Originally recorded as a test track for new recording and production techniques..., I kind of liked the feel and melody so expanded it and was pretty happy how it came out. 

THE LIZARD

NEXT LEVEL

For the record... I have never been diagnosed as being on any spectrum however I think I and the people around me are clever enough to know I probably am on some sort of level... It would explain a lot!

That said I do apologise if this portrays ignorance or is received badly by anyone who suffers from this. I'm just trying to understand it better from my point of view like I do everything through a song! If it strikes the wrong chord I would love to know why and maybe even rewrite parts to project whats real! So although the lyrics are written as if it's been confirmed... I am imagining how the medical community might deal with it if I lived in a place like the US. It seems in Ireland we are dealing with it quite wisely now from what I have heard through the people I have spoken to that have experienced the process.

Lyrics

I'm different you say!
You want to rebalance me chemically
Eh, no thats ok... I'll stick to THC
This difference is balance we just haven't seen

So, ADHD to the medical community
Riddle them with drugs, chemicals...
Soon numbness you'll see
You diagnose this "problem"
When really 'we' have solution
Real tuned in to be rid of Earth's pollution

I'm different you say
You say I'm not normal
You know, you're right...
But your right is not evolution
New normal means different
New normal is needed
My divergent brain tunes love
Humanity gets seeded

My seed will grow knowing they are the answer
No matter what conditions you wrap round you chancer
Open your minds to nature, you'll see
Your own real divergence
Like Harry, Gary and Me

Old Ideas from Old Email


To my surprise, I found some of my old music ideas in my old email account. I thought I had lost them forever.

I had forgotten that a lot of music sharing used to happen through emails.

Some of those recordings were made in Audacity, and later on, I moved to Logic Pro 9. There were many of my own ideas, but also a few collaborations and jam sessions with friends.

Lyrics

Many times as a kid
Four inside walls were founded
A little dark rascal
Mind a skid
"I'm choiceless Son, You're Grounded!"
100% kept me more alive
Then I grew up and just started to fly
Gone was that parental prudence
That toughened love
The barrier to more bruises
Ok I didn't fall unless I was drunk
There was that time I met a ditch with a dunk
Good clavical sees broken funk
But no matter the pain I sounded
Our of hospital... Still not grounded

The grounding skill that many lose
It changes form from fun to wingsuit
Rebel with a cause and new beliefs
Mind you, I never got grounded for hitting reef
Liberal bosses - just wanted me safe
So liberal mind moved to mould music and grace
So I re learned grounding... Most of the time
Sometimes Icarus still goes for Sun drive by's
Man, the Sun knows me... TBD return
Land on studio pad and pen new concern
Dress them with melody, Sun says
Remember what I told you!
Combine real words, sounds & sights
Make digital worms
Lassoo to past the gripes

We landed
Grounded
Still these four walls
See grounded for grownups means mindset that's all
Be here and be now and believe your own eyes
Grounded for kids now needs to make new hive
Practicing mindset
More perfect true
Retaining their innocence
Their happy way
Loving themselves and all Earth can say



Notes
Possibly first time I've got four full tunes like that in one day. All need work but structures might survive largely

Written listening to Ozrics so let's lean to Ed Wynne angles on guitar

"I know my lazy, leaden twang
Is like the reason in a storm;

And yet it brings the storm to bear.
I twang it out and leave it there."

The Man With the Blue Guitar is a poem published in 1937 by Wallace Stevens. It is divided into thirty-three brief sections, or cantos. In the poem, an unnamed "they" says, of the titular man, "you do not play things as they are", sparking a prolonged meditation on the nature of art, performance, and imagination.
