Simon Guitar John - Best of 2014 AD

Here Comes The Sun

Stress Relief Music

Stress Relief Music, Pt. 18

North Wales Psychedelic rock band 'Holy Coves' return with a brand new single 'Desert Storm' which is set for release on 29th of April via prolific North Wales Label 'Yr Wyddfa Records'.

Dropping swiftly into the slip-stream and following on from the successful 'The Hurt Within' which was released last month, 'Desert Storm' really sets the psych mood with droney riffs, hazy vocals on an epic musical landscape.

Lead by Welsh Singer-Songwriter Scott Marsden, 'Holy Coves' find themselves crossing an unseen threshold on a fantastical new journey where new psych-hazed material spells an exciting new era for the collective.

Through long time friend and Producer David Wrench, 'Holy Coves' were put in touch with Texan Producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels / Explosions In The Sky) and have built quite a magical working relationship, one where Wofford found himself on Mixing and Mastering duties for the material and certainly contributes to their new sound.

Lyrics and vox by Madeline8,Beat by Jon Clark - Brighton,Produced by Daniel Broughan. 
Lyrics......... 
Me and Dave yeah we walked thru the maze, by the caverns and curls and the caves  I was amazed -
set astray we wandered thru the night and the day, set alight as we waved at the gulls on their way,
-----yes we did pass go , we did collect two hundred pounds we did walk , we did run , set our weapons on the ground.-----
Yeah me and Pete ,set our feet on the street , wove a walk as we talked left and right all the night,
the people they are speaking holding hands on the cathedral , he told me all the silent secrets underneath the steeple.****
Roll out the red carpet , for yourself , become a remarkable artist of paint, paper, stealth, 
Taking apart this labyrinth of catharsis, with freeview glasses , relieve you of your masks, yes.
What's all this nastyness? I 'um' n 'ah' at this , you know now Narcissus and your cathartic cuts , he cut his arm enough , cos there was harm to love ,I do disarm you bruv, I boil a balmy blush, we're arm -in- arm ,me love, phenomenom to shove, I do disarm you love , he put his palm to touch , if this goes on enough , we'll be synonymous, if this goes on me love ,if this goes on.
me and Rex made a bet , yeah we danced right and left , muttered 'all hands on deck' , soaked the rags in rugged red
All alive , all aligned, once again here we drive brother sister coming at ya with a stuning silver mist---chorus---
You takin' part in this , or are U smart but pissed ? Still breaking hearts with hits?Are you an Artful Diss, preoccupied with lists, do not deny the drips that heaven sends you lick them from your palms and twist them up your arms and whisk them double time. You wish that you could rhyme like Madeline Sublime, you wish that you  were mine from dusk until sunrise from drowning til high tide? Catastrophes collide , I'm clowning with ya eyes, apostrophes abide, I'm linking to your mind, I'm thinking to you live , delinquent lullaby , be late but still on time, these bars they dance in lines, these bars be calling 'time'......
An anarchistic kiss , these lips they slide and slip  I'm ever gliding glyphs , I'm memorising myths. What kinda time you call this? I'm ever riding riffs ,
 can only rise thru rips,and never lie just lift, apologise real quick , and suck a snidey spliff , a double sided diss or polystyrene riff to wrap around the gift ,to wrap around........chorus ......mmmmmm

A Song For You

Simon Says...
ARTIST BIO: Started playing guitar young, also piano, bass, drums and singing, also harmonica. Began tape recording and taking Classical Guitar lessons in Gamlin's Pianos music shop in the centre of Cardiff, capital city of Wales. Began to write songs and go to gigs aged 13 or so, also to jam frequently around town. I was given a reel-to-reel and took some jazz lessons, continually jamming guitar and bass and going out drinking. Got me a steel-string and a four-track...not much changed ever since! I'm now 42 years old and a lot wiser, which means I don't drink much...fell ill a couple of years ago and emerged with Nerve Damage (painful) to the left arm, also the bicep, forearm and shoulder muscles had wasted away. Undaunted by the negativity of some experts who said I was henceforth stuck unable to play guitar ever again, I received physiotherapy here in West Wales where I now live and worked hard to redevelop the muscles and feeling in the left arm and, especially, left hand. But the Doctors were half-right. Because I can't turn my arm at the wrist properly or move the hand up and down the neck, I've had to develop a capacity to play over-the-top of the neck, as opposed to underneath, with my fretting hand. It ain't easy! But I love music, and hope to make sounds for the rest of my life.


Yo, I'm Simon Guitar John, and I Love Good Music, and Mine is usually a kind of keyboard-and-guitar based blues-rock, sometimes Acoustic, often Psychedelic.. I had many different influences, mainly British and American, and very diverse, taking in everything from Romantic Classical to Punk Rock. I grew up listening to British Radio, and watching British TV.

The "Guitar" in my Name is just to identify me, there's a few different "Simon John"s on the web who play music. I'm not especially fast or fluent on the guitar, there's thousands of people who can play better than me, but at one point in my life, when I'd just come out of a Coma, one of the Doctors said "Son, you'll never play again" so I've been busy proving the guy wrong ever since. My Guitar-playing is limited, but I always give it my best shot, same when I'm playing Bass, or Piano, or Singing, even Harmonica. 


I get rhythms from a Drum Machine, play a bit of Piano Keyboards, play a little Bass, I can write Lyrics and Sing with various Guitars, and Record it all myself. 43yrs old.. 6ft tall, weighing in at 27 stone. Raised in South Wales UK, I started playing guitar, piano and harmonica at an early age; also recording, too. There are a variety of styles here; my music is multi-genre. Despite all this. I've only recently gone Digital...I bought an 8-track machine a few months back.
