Nice vocals. I like the song and it's well produced.

@0xboost-ness don't seem to be able to avoid it. 🤣

Good melody/instruments./vocals. Merry sound

A song for anyone who ever felt different, an anthem for the left behind, a prayer for the hopeless.

Watching the birds above float by
Sunshine on my face and a sapphire blue sky
Breathe in slow and breathe out grace
Tenderness and a warm embrace

It's not weakness, it's strength
It's not a void, it's a well
It's not nothing

They tell me 'just turn it off' 
Like it's that easy
Surface deep is all they see
When these stranger turn away
All that's left is you and me

It's not weakness, it's strength
It's not a void, it's a well
It's not nothing

Non fragilitas est
Vis est
Non est in absentia
Fons est

Flute Jam by John Hardman

Where's the time that you had on your side?
Where's a bottle to drink when you need it?
Where's a father to set you to task?
Where's a mother, who's there with a pass?

There's a field full of flowers and grass.
(full of ants and that)
Let's just say that it's somewhere in England.
(There's a maypole and all)
Maybe warmth from the sun of the day.
(no one's freezing and...)
Radiates from the Earth as if dreaming.
(no one cares about)
There's a crow watching you from a fence.
(he just watches and...)
No way for you to guess what he's thinking.
(while he's squawking away)
You, yourself, are just there, sitting around.
(lazy, dazing about)
Devoted to, just The Crow, just the thinking.

Let's insert in this scene, somewhat obviously seen.
An extraneous mass, which requires; a task.
Hey, ho, away we go!

There's a field framed with oak trees and beach.
Let's face facts that it's somewhere in England.
And the hum of the birds and the bees.
Fills you up in the still of the evening.
Oh, the tumbling cascading downs.
Are a never-ending dream of England.
That's it, boy, take a good look round.
(it's the last chance you'll get)
While the crows just sit watching and waiting.

Yet, insert in this scene international schemes.
Which the men undertake, for generals on the make.
Like a madman; half baked.
Stepping stones on a lake.
Oh no, down we go.

There's an old station there in the town.
(it's like Beamish. it's...)
Full of old iron keys and such sundries.
(very English and quiet)
And the wood there is aged and careworn.
(decorated and...)
And the empire remains in the features. 
(exonerated and...)
There's a comfort in old-fashioned things.
(it's like Beamish. it's...)
Reminding us that we're deeply rooted.
(very English and quiet)
To a time and a place and scene.
(a time and a place and a scene)
But a murder of crows could remove it. 
(a time and a place and a scene)

Let's insert in this scene, somewhat obliquely seen.
An external great mass, which requires a task.
Which you must undertake,
with forbearance and haste.
Oh no, down we go. 

Haul the sails, and set the course,
we're sailing out to sea.
Those in the midship, chart the course,
the route that's planned for we.
Set the tiller.
Haul the sail.
Chart the course.
Or else...
we'll fail.

Oh no! to the crows we go!
Oh no! to the crows we go!
Oh no! to the crows we go!

Where's the time that you had on your side?
Where's the time that you wasted on dreaming?
Where's the friends that you need by your side?
Passing by just along for a ride. 

Oh, these were your days.
Oh, this could be the making of you.
Oh, no need for delay.
The whole nation expects such great things for you.

Oh, these were your days.
Oh, this should be the making of you.
Oh, no need for dismay.
The whole nation expects such great things of you.
For England.

Where's your God? Can he keep you alive?
Where's your God? what? is anyone winning?
When your God is a dream for the spring.
Where's he now? amongst most other things?

Where's your God now your lain on the grass?
Where's your God while you lay out here dying?
Where's your God now that nobody knows?
That you're lying in a field full of crows. 

Oh, those were the days,
Oh, they're really a testament to you.
Oh, surrounded by crows,
Crows are suddenly circling you.
For England!



The Crows

Don't wanna give your days away?
What has tomorrow got to do with yesterday?
So why go on wasting your time?
Waiting for some new event to crop up down the line .

Beyond the shining place and living by the sea.
Your destination, feels no further on to me.

Just like a dead cat by the road.
Who should of stayed home and just done as he was told.
The same old spin on your mistakes.
Nobody is watching you, until you drop the plate.
Why can't we just leave well alone.
Up to here with forking out, not sharing up the load.
Wait... What? Were we supposed to grow?
Missed out on the walking part went running in the snow.

Somewhere between welcoming and living in disgrace.
Between an elephant and a bird in a cage. 

You need warm weather to go swimming in the sea.
You need an umbrella to have something to leave. 
You need a hitch to take the opportunities.
Drag them up again.
Out of luck again.
Pig in muck again.
Guess what? Look again.

It's just your standard forked road.
The devil making this deal he is keeping his eyes closed.
A promise made you never keep.
A mistep taken which could even make a father weep.

When you are older you avoid a bended knee.
But, then again, it's easier for simplicity.

You need warm weather to go swimming in the sea.
You need an umbrella to have something to leave. 
You need a hitch to take the opportunities.
Drag them up again.
Pass the buck again.
Pig in muck again.
Guess what? Look again.
