Hi Steve, How did I manage to miss this great song. Love the miaows and those sharp lyrics. The refrain is so catchy I was singing along. Hope you are well and staying away from the virus. Best to you. I think the Moriarty name is relatively common in Edinburgh with a certain Mary Moriarty being declared as the Queen of Leith!

Hey ya Steve, hope you are well!    Did not see anything new on your board,   This is a cool song!

I can well imagine a tome of verses for this bad 'un!  oh man you can write!

Like the arpeggio sound in the background. Like the whole song!! Excellent made, fantastic chorous.

I'm sucker for this classic folk rock groove, sort of island techno with some cutting lyrics. Durge

I am on the side of the foxes too... this man sounds evil.. paying attention to the lyrics.

I took the bold challenge to arrange this Bach piece with VST. I used CSS strings, Audiomoddelling SWAM strings. Two violins solo, two violins 1, three violins 2, three viola's, two celli, one cello bas, one double bas.
I used Altiverb as an acoustic environment. Playing with TEC breath control to control volume, vibrato, bow pressure and bow position.

little bird, guess you have flown
over many an ocean exploring the globe

please be my eyes cause ill never see
the seven wonders of the world describe them to me
when you come back
ill be waiting for you

little bird tell me where have you been
have you circled the earth hey what have you seen

good or bad happy and sad
does it make you confused as the news does to me
when you come back
ill be waiting for you

tell me is it true what they say
that the lungs of our planet are being cut away

when you come back
ill be waiting for you
when you come back
ill be waiting for you

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Lee Frost (født 26. mars 1874 i San Francisco i California, død 29. januar 1963 i Boston i Massachusetts) var en amerikansk poet. Han ble tildelt Pulitzerprisen fire ganger, henholdsvis i 1924, 1931, 1937 og 1943.

“I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU”- THE FLAMINGOS (MARISA BETTINA COVER) 






🧿🩸

I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU

I'm holding on to snapshots...
moments caught in time
the joy forever smiling
...on every face I find
but I've gone missing...my smile has disappeared - and now
I'm holding on to tendrils of half a century
...in my mind
O they climb and climb...to places out of reach
and I find myself falling - inside that breach
can I bare my teeth...now
can I square my feet - now
and sometimes I'm just tired
gotta hold myself 
gotta hold myself
cause I've gone missing
from all those snapshots on my shelf
yea
and I hang on to old memories
clipped to a firefly string
an electric candle burning...
where my memories cling
and dear god
I still feel the sunshine and the sand...the gulls flying up above
...but holding squares of moments...
seems an echo of that love
yea
I hang on to old memories
clipped to a firefly string
and when my smile finds me...
those fireflies'll take wing

Snapshots On My Shelf

Based loosely on a 'vermin hunter' who i once ran across in county Clare. I've always been on the side of Mr Fox so we were not the best of friends.  
Here are four verses of the dozen or so that tell the tale.  I used a few garageband noises too.  

Down the muddy track, five kittens in a sack,
down to the river, empty handed back.
Every year it happens just the same,
who is this man, what is his name ?
It's Dreadlocks Moriarty, he's the cruelest man in town,
Dreadlocks Moriarty, he's going to put your kitten down.

Are there foxes in your henhouse, are there pigeons in the corn,
are there wabbits in your garden, are there badgers on the lawn ?
etc


They say he had a wife once and she got sick
so he beat her to death with a hurley stick.
Now she's buried in the mountains where the cold wind blows,
and the cattle die in the winter snow.
That's Dreadlocks Moriarty, his donkey;s all look sad,
Dreadlocks Moriarty, How did you ever come to be so bad.

Moriarty has a daughter, she's a comely lass
with a crucifix and a dancer's ass,
i tried to woo her once beneath the  rowan tree
but we were seen and now he's coming for me,
Dreadlocks Moriarty, how did a man ever go so wrong ?
Dreadlocks Moriarty, I'm going to kill you with a song.

Back to the river.... something has survived, it'a a half-drowned kitten and it's still alive,
i hold it to my breast and my beating heart,
i was looking for some friends and this is a start
