again that minimalistic soundscape and vocals, most effectively crafted to a wide space. Very cool!

great song with a melody that sticks in my brain :)

St Enodoc

Shimmering shallow sands reflect the sculptured skies
Mirrored moments mask the monumental storrs
Fresh gusts rock the steady metered gait
A hurried pace to beat the tidal time

Over peninsular then climb the weaving steps
Clamber over to handpick the secret path
Cross the grassy landing as the next
Bay reveals its face the livid sudden shine

As Enodoc herself would say, it takes more than sinking dunes to make a saint.

The salty foam projects over our heads away
Mixing with the farms beyond the dry stone walls
While before the ghosts of grey approached
Now the sun scintillates under the frame

There is no map needed here
Just keep the sea to the right
Just don’t lose sight

The ruined lighthouse on the top comes into view 
This phantom figure hails the battleship behind
Draws toward us and with brooding threat
How we anticipate the pricking strikes of rain

Guest: the classical guitar and electric guitar solo on this song were played by Steve Pumphrey.

Peace Is The Natural Way

While I Was Polishing My Guitar

edit: this now has a video https://youtu.be/V9NKpMOOLNQ

Got a new toy, had to play with it,
but also wanted to build something of a song, because repertoire;
and I was inspired by many things I have listened to over the past weeks.

I have to come to the point of happy uplifting music yet, so you will have to do with this:


It's a song about some dark places a mind can be in... The protagonist may not be of this world, in fact. Or he never fit in...


lyrics

look for me in the shadows
look for me in the rain
cannot find in the mirror
cannot run down the drain

hold it up for a cover
give me something to taste
I need to see you tomorrow
everything else is a waste

looking out of the window
shattered worlds made out of glass
here I am set out to wander
if we only had something to last

I get it
I loved it
and wanted too much

Sands Of Time

Simply about how someone might feel if they are misunderstood because of how their past affected them.

Who I Am

Wieder einmal auf Kontrollflug durch ihren Quadranten kam Disco-Cat am Planeten Neptune 9 vorbei. Eigentlich wollte sie nur neues Material für den Soundspeicher bei dem chinesischen Kater Meo-Wing für ihr Keyboard kaufen, doch von der gegenüberliegenden Diskothek hörte sie seltsame Musik… Ihr Mittelsmann, Kater Maunzi, hatte ihr gesteckt, dass Space Cat offensichtlich einen Job als DJ angenommen hat.
„So will sie sich auf den bevorstehenden Kampf vorbereiten?“, dachte sich Disco-Cat, „und vor allem, was denkt die denn, wer ich bin? Ich entführe doch keine Prinzessinnen!“

Irgendjemand spielt hier ein „abgekatertes“ Spiel. Um herauszufinden, wer hier Intrigen spinnt, entschloss sich Disco-Cat auf den Planeten Chephren zu fliegen, um sich in Whiskas-City Rat von der geheimnisvollen Sheba zu holen… Sie riet ihr - nach einem langen Gespräch - ganz entspannt zu schnurren und der Dinge zu harren… Mit neuem Material an Sounds für ihr Keyboard trat sie die Heimreise nach Maine Coon an - mit einem mulmigen Gefühl! Es war ihr, als ob ihr jemand folgte…

Doch den Rat von Sheba befolgend, zog sie sich die Kopfhörer über und hörte Musik von Cat Stevens.

Once again on a control flight through her quadrant Disco-Cat passed the planet Neptune 9. Actually, she only wanted to buy new material for the sound storage at the Chinese Cat Meo-Wing for her keyboard, but from the opposite discotheque she heard strange music... Her intermediary, Cat Maunzi, had told her that Space Cat had obviously taken a job as a DJ.
"Is this how she wants to prepare for the upcoming battle?" thought Disco-Cat, "and above all, who does she think I am? I don't kidnap princesses!"

Someone is playing a "hungover" game here. To find out who is scheming, Disco-Cat decided to fly to the planet Chephren to get advice from the mysterious Sheba in Whiskas City... She advised her - after a long conversation - to purr quite relaxed and wait for things to happen... With new material of sounds for her keyboard, she started her journey home to Maine Coon - with a queasy feeling! She felt as if someone was following her....

But taking Sheba's advice, she put on her headphones and listened to music by Cat Stevens.

Lyrics:
the paper sun has gone down now
for shining eight miles away
no mad man's running through the fields now
no longer he lives for today

the purple haze has passed away now
and lucy's now a daughter of eve
the iron butterfly has vanished
so light my fire before we leave

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade away

a former psychedelic siren
now part of the music business scene
is casting spells only for money
 the white rabbits hide in lemon trees

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade

---------------------------------------

quotes / reminiscences (psych and garage rock bands and songs 1966 - 68)
in order of appearance in the lyrics:

traffic - paper sun
the byrds - eight miles high
dantalion's chariot - mad man's running through the field
the grass roots - let's live for today
jimi hendrix - purple haze
beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds
the daughters of eve (us band)
iron butterfly (us band)
the doors - light my fire
kaleidoscope (uk band) 
small faces - green circles
the tide - psychedelic siren
ccr - i put a spell on you
jefferson airplane - white rabbit
the move - here we go round the lemon tree
