Whipped, Stripped & Almost Unplugged

Written by Damian Smith
Produced by Robert Ruby
Fiddle by Rachel Crick

It's a simple love song. Life is short, but today we have each other, so let's take advantage of the the time we have. Was going for an Appalachia / bluegrass feel on this one. This was a lot of fun to write and play. I hope you enjoy listening!

Sweet Mountain Air

Let me seduce you

I’m driving home,
Running low on gasoline,
Every traffic light,
Is turning red instead of green,

Heading home,
Wish I was in a limousine,
I could close my eyes, 
And think of places where I’ve been,

Paying no attention to the signs,
My thoughts are borderline,
Feels like places that I’ve seen,
But I’ve never been,

But I’m still driving home,
How long is it gonna be,
Pass the county line,
Heading where I wanna be,
When I’m home,
I’ll be where I need to be,
No more traffic lights,
Nothing else I need to see,

Don’t need to look out for the signs,
Heading back to what I know is mine,
Don’t know why I would wanna leave,
It’s what I breathe, 

But I’m still driving home,
How long is it gonna be

Driving Home

I’ll see the morning light,
Happens almost every night,
Just where the hell did we go,
I’m just settling now,
Still buzzing I don’t know how,
I’ll wonder where the days go,

And I feel I’m high, Like my ego, 
But I’m running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go, 
Am I high, or placebo, 
I’m running wild, in the middle of the road,
Just where did we go,

Silence kicking in now,
I can barely hear a sound,
Just drowned out by my ego,
Not going to fight,
When it’s almost every night,
Now I’m thinking where can we go,

Cos I’m feeling high, Like my ego, 
And we’re running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go, 
Are we high, or placebo,
We’re running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go,

It’s the morning light again,
Gotta stop I don’t know when,
And find out where’d my sleep goes,

And I been too high, like my ego,
Sick of running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go,
Are we high, or just evil,
We’re running wild, in the middle of the road

High

A song about being lucky enough to be with someone that can get the best out of you and vice versa.
If you have the right person or people in your life then it doesn't matter where you are.

Watch the time away and think about just where we want to be, 
Every day we always think about the things we want to see,
Doesn’t matter anything whatever something we believe,
And here we and you are smoking your last cigarette with me,

There is nowhere,
We need to be,
Just stay with me, 

I’ve become a better man,
Cos you helped me out, and helped me understand, 
And we’ve been all over this, 
Just take me by the hand,
I’ve become a better man, 

Watch more time away just thinking of the things we might achieve,
Could be anywhere, we talked about a place beside the sea,
Doesn’t matter where we are, as long as we are free,
And here we are again just smoking your last cigarette with me, 

There is still nowhere,
I’d rather be,
Stick with me,

I’ve become a better man,
When you helped me out, and helped me understand, 
And I’m still in love with you, 
Since you took me by the hand,
And I became a better man

Better

There’s things that I want,
Always look out for you,
And all that you need,

It’s not that I choose,
Don’t do things easily,
And sometimes I lose,

Am I living a lie when I’m thinking of you,
Or just killing time,
And hoping that you’ll be ready, 
When I need you, 

Is this what I need,
You looking out for me,
And all that I bleed,

Are you living a lie when you’re thinking of me,
Or just killing time,
And hoping that I’ll be ready,
When you need me, 

Maybe I’m thinking too deep,
I think aloud when I can’t sleep,
I’ll keep living in my head with you,
Living in my head with all of you,

Maybe I think differently, 
I sing along when I can’t sing,
I’ll keep living in my head with you,
Living in my head with all of you

Living In My Head

There was a time around a place I was before, 
Every night I died and in hell I had the tour, 
Held up my arm ‘til someone took me by the hand,  
And I have come,
Far from where I’m from, 

Cos I believe, 
In destiny,

Here in the days and nights, before the night before, 
Having the fires of hell racing through the door, 
I’m in a bad head space, yeah you heard it all before, 
But I became, 
The only flame, 

Cos I believe, 
In destiny,

Cos I believe, 
In destiny,
I believe,

There was a time around a place I was before, 
Every night I died and in hell I had the tour, 
Held up my arm ‘til someone took me by the hand,
And I became,
The only flame

I Believe In Fire

Bring me good luck, 
Let’s go use it up, 
Then we’ll drink it dry, 

You needed me, 
Then you made me see, 
Something in my mind, 

Never planned to go all night, 
Never seen you shine that bright, 
Did I want to know your name, I don’t remember, 

Was I something that you needed, 
I never begged you never pleaded, 
And I never questioned any answer, 
You were something that I needed too, 
Something that I needed too, 

Take back my luck, 
I’d say I’d had enough, 
Now its time to ride, 
I needed this, 
Something else to miss, 
Something in my mind, 

Did I want to take you home, 
Didn’t want you to leave alone, 
Was it time to go our ways, I don’t remember, 

Was I something that you needed, 
I never begged you never pleaded, 
And I never questioned any answer, 
You were something that I needed too, 
Something that I needed too

Something I Needed

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Quiero saber si hace calor (Vocals by Mara​Oldfield)

I was in a songwriting mood this morning

so here it goes......

Original Lyrics, Vocals & Music by Heidi-Marie

Do you see what I see
Do you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel

I hope its just the same
For You


I know your thinking
I know your hearing
I know you feel the same
Do you feel the same

Do you see what I see
Do you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel

I hope its just the same
For You

Do you
Do you
Really see it too
Do you
Do you
Really hear it too

Do you
Do you
Really think it too
Do you
Do you
Really feel the same
Or am I 
JUST A FOOL

Do You

stand alone
with my sword and my shield 
darkness comes
and the prince of this world 
for they love darkness more than light
and the lie more than the truth
crucify me 
the holy lamb of God
driving their nail
the holy lamb of God
God
---------
I was the one 
that had to pay the price
that had to pay the price x2
that had to pay the price
I was the one that had to pay the price 
---------------------------------------
solo
----------------------------------
he was the lamb
led to the slaughter 
and he had to pay the price

PAY THE PRICE

In the sphere of a dangerous guy

Queen of the smoking seats

She tells them that bad times are coming.
There is an accent from some country.

At a cafe where we can drink coffee for $2.

She's the famous queen of the smoking seats.
She rules over this smoky territory.

When she was young, she may have worked at night.
She attracts the attention of men.

At a café that looks like it's empty all day long.

She's the famous queen of the smoking seats.
Always asking her vassals for cigarettes.

She lost her castle, and the people have left.
The kingdom's glory has already faded.

She says there is a good way to make money.
"If you want to know, treat me to lunch."

At a cafe where the cooling and heating are too strong.

She's the famous queen of the smoking seats.
After 6:00 pm, she goes back home somewhere.

Here We Are (original song)

How was your weekend?
(Added to my album "Röckers". Hey, check it out)

Lyrics:
She asked me:
If I untie you from this bed post
Take off those handcuffs
And promise to give back your pants
Do you promise to follow all my nighttime plans?
She said: I'm gonna take you to a party on the West Coast
I know the host
They'll have something there you'll like
Inhalants
Smoking platlets
Models drinking Popov
On a hunger strike

(Chorus)
I'm learning human nature
I'm a skinny man at the feast
I'm under  influence of charismatic people
I'm the tapeworm in the belly of the beast

Yeah, I guess I was feeling alright
I parked a car in a mansion driveway
She said: This couple, they have more money than brains
But they're celebrities
So I can't say any names
She took me to a party on the west coast
She knew the host
They have something there I like
Caviar and Cheetos
We steal a couple of Japanese motorbikes
(Chorus)

We're tripping the lights fantastic
We hit the highway
As our speed kicks in
Techno music blasting
220 BPM
I say: Cue the split screen
And don't hesitate 
Sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky, sticky
Fingers in the collection plate
Because life doesn't have to be perfect
It just has to be great
(chorus)

She said: 
"Life doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be great!"

A Tapeworm In The Belly Of The Beast

Somewhere77’ is a London based self-taught solo artist, delivering more of a traditional song writing style with rock, acoustic, folk, country and blues influences.

2024 saw the release of the debut album “Whipped, Stripped & Almost Unplugged” which is a fully acoustic album of original songs featuring the Taylor 214CE DLX and recorded on a Boss BR80. 

Further releases of "Take Me", "Won't Let You In", "Hold On" and "Don't get Along" have since followed which will be part of the next album called "The Road to Retrospection" in the near future.

Yes my vocals can be an acquired taste (this is not my day job! 😂) but I do hope that you can at least enjoy the musical melodical side of things.

With occasional assistance from long time friend and collaborator ©️CrackerJack on various tracks, both artists are proud to produce and share music with you and hope that you can find a song among what we have created.

Much Love
