Eagle And Serpent

I'm walking  down to McDonalds
And that's all I'm going to do today
I guess that I'm not moving on
From our moving on
The poet he dies of a thousand paper cuts every day
So I'll say
It's been a pleasure to be with you
In this space and time
And when your telephone it doesn't ring
And when your doorbell it doesn't chime
It's me

I went to the hypnotist
To try to make some kind of sense of this
He snaps his fingers
He goes 1,2,3
I let that hippy girl read my tea leaves
I don't want to, but I have to believe
And when your telephone doesn't chime
And when you feel that California sunshine
It's me

This poet, he see a little less beauty every day
I walk past the coffee shop
Past the Stop N' Shop
Past the parking lot
With that Polish Bar, where we used to go
When your telephone it doesn't ring
And when you're craving Gin & Grenadine 
It's me

It's been a pleasure 
To have someone like you in my life
And when your telephone it doesn't ring
And when you find out who was to blame for everything
It's me

When Your Phone Doesn't Ring (It's Me)

Something to relax to or maybe cook to, your choice. Enjoy my friends.

I am currently remixing all the tracks of the 'The Dwelling' album I made in 2017/2018, because of new insights in mastering and mixing and new equipment and tools to aid in that. 

This is 'Atticboy'. The original version dates from 2008 I believe, and I recorded this version in 2017, and remixed it today.

Other entries in this remix spree are Long Shot and Until the Light - the latter only being available on BandCamp (why though? https://alicedeeper.bandcamp.com/track/until-the-light-2021-remix ?)

In the time of my former band UMF, this was a live favorite - usually played at the start of the second set to jumpstart the audience after the break.


lyrics:

yeah I thought that I got away from all the rules of a sorry game
now I'm locked to another chain - spinning down seems the only way
I won't do what the bugger say - feeding life on a hungry plate
shorting out for a better way - I got a taste for the bitter rain!

I got pain, in my brain;
a screw loose, this is not my day!
I got it hanging bad again.
and everytime, is all the same,
I wanna get out but I don't know where to stay,
if everytime I refuse to play,
slumping down into the grey,
seeking comfort is not the way.

Find you a lovin' or find you a hell,
the best way of discovering is s*** I can't tell!

A truce, that's for you.
Too loose, that's for you.
Can't choose, that's for you.
To lose, that's for you.
No way back to you,
run away far from you.
Too late - answer you!
no regret,
all of you.

I know I could have worked this track a lot more. I could have re-done the guitar and got rid of the noises and fluffed notes, but sometimes the imperfections are what makes a track. I'm very imperfect, so this is a honest portrayal of my music. 

Little things help us remember. Mementoes that Marie Kondo even  allows you a box for. And sometimes its the strangest things that make us remember and shed a tear for something lost.


All my favorite chords recycled and played again... and I still have not learned a new picking pattern. And what do you know, another song without a hook or chorus... 

 




The Box

A single drop earring
A cuff link without its twin
A button, And a key
that once unwound sardine tin

A coin from a distant land
An acorn without its cup
A shoelace and a strapless watch
who’s time was long ago up

All these things she keeps hidden, locked in a box
buried in a drawer, deep beneath her socks 
All these little lost things, which she stumbled on then kept
Each now worthless, like memories she fears she’ll forget.

A shiny seashell
A stone, stripped black and grey
A jigsaw piece, A rusting badge
from a happy Birthday

An empty sweet wrapper
An straightened paper clip
A knotted string and a bead
Who’s smooth sparkle now is chipped

Once she lost something special so hoards these things she finds
Hoping now in keeping, to balance the past time.
She’s no longer careless, she has learned to hold tight.
And if she finds love again she’ll risk it this time, she really might

A counter from a board game
A faceless gold locket
A safety pin and a needle 
with green thread still caught in it

There’s a ribbon that once tied letters
And a tear that fell alone
A ring and a shard of a heart 
that’s fragile though now regrown 

Because of the reckless way 
she let her love be lost 
She guards these things safely, 
locked in a box

Something Memorable is Sean Doran's SoundCloud Name. 

Hi there. Go on.. push a play button and re-post something....while you read....

I've been on Soundcloud since Dec 2011 and it still amazes me how this community has helped me to improve my music and continue to write and play. It's the balance between the making music and the listening to the inspiration that the rest of you create, that makes it work. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening.

I'm song writer and singer, continuing to learn and play, create and expand my capabilities. I'm very happy to write and record with others here on Soundcloud, I've enjoyed the collaborations that I've been involved with and they are where I learn the most. So, if you want a lyric or a vocal or fancy trying to collaborate on a complete track please let me know. 

My songs tend to be lyrics driven and my lyrics tend to come from ideas hinted at by words or phrases I hear or read. Once I'm writing I tend to start off in one direction and soon find the lyrics choosing their own. No matter how hard I push towards that pop, chirpy track.... I tend to come back something a little slower. Through I've been experimenting more lately. 

I truly believe everyone can write and should give it a go and so I'm happy to work with anyone.

I'm currently recording a combination of N2 pencil mics for acoustic guitar and a Aston Original mike for vocal. I have an M-Audio interface to my Mac and Logic X.

Born in Belfast, N. Ireland, but currently living and working from (Malaysia, India, Netherlands)North Norfolk in the UK.

I hope you'll like some of what you hear and that you'll leave a comment. Even if you don't like it, I'd love to hear why and what would make you listen again. Your comments make me better. 

शुभ कामनाएँ

Sean
