Better Smile 

Well I've doom scrolled enough 
I'm heading out into the sun 
Gonna smile along with the world 
Like I'm living in a Rom-com 
Like I'm living in a Rom-com 

Did the best I could 
With the headwinds cutting me off 
And though I know I should 
I'm still not giving it up 
I'm still not giving it up 

For what it's worth 
You're only here on earth 
You're only here on earth for a while 
Better smile 

Time to wear the crown 
I forgot I even had 
Got to re-stoke the fire 
Start it all over again 
Start it all over again 

Done some sketchy things 
I know I'm gonna pay 
But I've done some good 
A little more every day 
A little more every day 

For what it's worth 
You're only here on earth 
You're only here on earth for a while 
Better smile

Better Smile

if it aint no fancy diamond ring
i can give you everything you ever wanted
i say if money aint yo thang girl
i can give you just what you need

just say gimme some more 
just say gimme some more
they call it givin it up,
I call it love

she said "gimme some more" 
she said "gimme some more"
"when i'm ready to go,
i'll let you know"

her hot tires come screeching down my driveway
honey i can smell dem brakes from here
she sit up on my lap and wrapped her arm around me
and starts to whisper in my ear

she says "gimme some more" 
she said "gimme some more"
"they call it givin it up,
you call it love"

she say "gimme some more" 
she said "gimme some more"
"when i'm ready to go,
i'll let you know"

20 years now and she's still calling out my name
she never found a good reason to leave
floor joists bowing and bout to have to buy a better bedframe
girl don't let me breath

she's like "gimme some more"
she said "gimme some more"
"they call it givin it up,
you call it love"

"gimme some more" 
"gimme some more"
"when i'm ready to go,
i'll let you know"

Sarah Lettes & William Snide - What did I do?

After a trip through the Mediterranean with the paramour of my life years ago... these lyrics emerged as an expression of gratitude and love. Yesterday those lyrics found home in this new original composition.

Forever thinking about you and the family we've made baby.

Thinkin' About You

Musical Women- (old chris murphy song)- Wet chris master

Prayers that I have put to music or written myself over the past few years, released 3 months after my dad's passing. Thank you dad for inspiring my soul to seek connection with the Divine, the greatest and most potent elixir for joy, ecstasy, healing, protection and ever expanding love! When I pray and sing I feel so close to you and I am profoundly grateful for this connection that transcends physical separation.

Give me the courage to dive in

Katy tried
I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side
Of no tomorrow
You walked in
And my life began again
Just when I'd spent the last piaster
I could borrow
All night long
We would sing that stupid song
And every word we sang
I knew was true
Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
Are you crazy are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do
Are you with me Doctor
Don't seem right
I've been strung out here all night
I've been waiting for the taste
You said you'd bring to me
Biscayne Bay
Where the Cuban gentlemen sleep all day
I went searching for the song
You used to sing to me
Katy lies
You could see it in her eyes
But imagine my surprise
When I saw you
Are you with me Doctor Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew
She is lovely yes she's sly
And you're an ordinary guy
Has she finally got to you
Can you hear me Doctor

Shadowdance by Keri Johnson

Every step tried to outrun the pain
but it kept me stuck out in the rain

And the yellow sun smiling down on me
became a wall of clouds, what I could not see

Nights, growing colder
and the wind against my face

I'm no longer afraid to face the darkness (the light will come soon)
watch our shadows dance upon the wall

Every loss now etched into my skin
and my face painted warrior white

And these tears are rolling off my chin
but my heart beats and I am alive

Nights, growing colder
and the wind against my face

I'm no longer afraid to face the darkness (the light will come soon)
watch our shadows dance upon the wall

Sometime you just need to put songs together and let it go.

The Sun Is Down

Serendipitous Encounter

Hello again dear Listeners.  

Bless your soul for continuing to Let Go and Listen to our raw but heartfelt Improvisational musical conversations.  Tim and i thank you for your kindness, comments and reposts.

How we do it, we have no idea other than a lifetime of playing and celebrating 'the Music'... wherever and whenever it arises!  But one thing's for sure... better to creatively engage with the Winds of Change than to try to ignore them. ;))

This recording Session in 'The Living Room' happened on October 6th 2023, and we were delighted to get together again and see where our Muses took us. And again, our trusty ZOOM Stereo Mic caught it all.

And yes! The Autumn winds are roving the lands in the Northern Hemisphere of this awesome planet, and they never fail to Inspire and stir up ancestral memories of the long ago... and what's happening in the Present Moment! 

Tim reached for his Fender Telecaster once again, and i reached for my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano to express what we felt, and we hope that you'll both Resonate with, and enJoy the outcome of our efforts, at least as much we did.

Dancing With The Winds of Change *

Wain Higgins here from Northern California. Most of our music is in the category Playlist at the top. Then there's more if you dig for it. May your day find time for kindness to others and music to dance to. Build Compassion, not walls.

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
