Not much time at the moment, 
so if you've never heard it and to (maybe) keep the SC mOag page going
I thought I'd 'recharge' this one from
https://soundcloud.com/the-acoustic-grill.

It's an LB GooDsoN song,
you can hear it in it’s original form here :
https://soundcloud.com/lb-goodson/casanova-by-lb-goodson

I love LB’s simple, expressive lyrics,
his killah melodies and kickass rock’n’roll...
He was kind enough to lend me a hand on this cover
with backing vocals and harmonica.

Thank you very much Leroy Buddy GooDson !!..

Whenever you think you might be dead
Whenever you think you might be dreaming
Whenever you think you're losing control of it all.

See you soon on the moon
See you soon on the moon

Go casanova go !

Whenever you think you might be dead
Whenever you feel just like a fool
Whenever you feel like surfing on a wave goodbye.

See you soon on the moon
See you soon on the moon

Don't need a rocket to get through the universe
Don't need a ticket for a ride into the skies
Just wanna hear the sound of time
Don't need a rocket to get through the universe.

Go casanova go !

LB GooDsoN w/mOag- CasanOva

Carry Me Home

Without patience without time
Can't sustain this can't unwind
One last time for old withdrawal 
Lash the mast it’s curtain call

How do I change?

Curse the failure curse the past
Curse the dirt that holds you back
It clings on tight the more you run
You are now your father’s son

How do I change?

Build my bridge of steal and stone
Childproof matches impulse prone
Antifreeze in something sweet
Pass the night in blissful sleep

How do I change?

How Do I Change?

Rummaging through the archives, looking for a specific track - couldn't find it yet - I know I have it. But I came across this ditty and decided to do some mixing work on it.

It's from 1997 I think, original 4 track recording, I was having a blast playing the slide guitar and just felt this vibe coming, decided to record it.

I do not regret it for one bit :)

“Inspired by own mental health, the lyrics to this track came so quickly and highlights wanting peace of mind and being free from the challenges that mental health can create - to be able to let go of it all and live life to the fullest.”

A song about mental health - “Everything”

Its been a long time coming 
I can say this for myself
I only want whats mine
A simple peace of mind
A simple place of mine, my own 
my own

I will treat it like the last time
On my way to the finish line 
I'm taking back what is mine
I’m not settling this time

I can feel it in my heartbeat
Once again walking down this street
I'm letting go of everything
Living and letting go of everything

Its been a long time coming and I know
I can feel this in myself, in myself I feel it
Sometimes I want to explode
Sometimes I feel I’ll implode
I’m moving on, here’s my everything 
All that I’ve got to give

Hear me now
My open heart is screaming
Screaming out 
You’re in my brain that is freer now
I’m starting to believe again, in me 
in me

Lyrics:
You try to run, you try to flee
But the streets are filled with mutant freaks

Your Mylar suit has sprung a leak
Now head crabs crawl up your feet

My Dystopia! My Dystopia! My Dystopia! Ma-ma-ma my-dystopia!

Everything sucks and it always rains
Zombies roam the streets, looking for brains

Giant rats crawl from sewer drains
Look at them close they have a human face

My Dystopia! My Dystopia! My Dystopia! Ma-ma-ma my-dystopia!

You huddle round a garbage fire
Think you’re cool in your ripped attire

The only food is mystery meat
It’s most likely made of Soylent Green!

My Dystopia! My Dystopia! My Dystopia! Ma-ma-ma my-dystopia!

Drink your Lightning Claw, it’s all the rage
Head in the cloud, mind in a daze

How we got here is now a haze
Wear hockey pads and pierce your face

My Dystopia (AudioBake & Cosmic Keanu)

Ever felt like life is passing you by?

You're just crossing off the days?

Ticking down the time?
_______________________________________________________________

Ticking

Ticking down the time.
Nowhere at the speed of light,
Nothing in my mind.
A dream of futures past.
Precious in my heart,
But it never came to pass.
Rearranged all my drawers of memory's worn out socks,
Corrected all my broken lifetime's kitchen clocks.
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Backwards at the speed of life,
Burdened in my mind.
Who stole it all away?
The clarity of thought
That defined me yesterday.
Dusted all the volumes on my memory's shelf,
Time-lapsed photographic of my former self.
Just ticking down the time.

Tomorrow calls in shades of black,
I swear these walls are staring back,
We waltz our falls in spiral mime,
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Lights out on the road ahead,
Fog come down behind.
Ready to anoint
The corpse of a life history
Shrivelled to a point.
JPEG'd out the detail of the smiling years,
Algorithmically compressed into this room of tears,
Where I'm just ticking down the time.

Ticking

Nova Scotia’s Nap Eyes is the greatest band you’ve never heard, and Whine of the Mystic is their first full-length album, a brilliant small-batch brew of crooked, literate guitar pop refracted through the gray Halifax rain. Recorded live to tape with no overdubs, it’s equal parts shambling and sophisticated, with one eye on the dirt and one trained on the starry firmament, inhabiting a skewed world where odes to NASA and the Earth’s magnetic field coexist easily with songs about insomnia and drinking too much.

''Southamerican Poem'' (Spanish Version)
Escrito por: Dick Vestdijk y Régulo Tortolero

La magia de la selva nos envuelve con su estallido de verde y canto
Canto de aves multicolores que se alejan al caer el sol

Orion se asoma ya en el horizonte
Mientras me llega tu recuerdo distante

Bailamos sin decirnos nada
Fundidos uno al otro en nuestras pupilas
Sintiendo el palpitar de la luz de nuestras almas
Con destellos de caleidoscópio

La música brotaba de los arcoiris
La luna, las estrellas y los planetas
Iluminaban nuestra danza secreta
Iluminaron este, nuestro eterno reencuentro

Churun Merú, Aponwao y Kukenan
Guían el viaje de una noble y olvidada casta primigenia de las tierras del sur
que va cruzando la estela del río en canoas de cristal
Adentrandose en la selva al encuentro de un shaman

''Southamerican Poem'' (English Version)
Written by: Dick Vestdijk and Régulo Tortolero

The magic of the jungle surrounds us with its burst of green and singing
Singing of multicolored birds that go away at sunset

Orion is already looming on the horizon
While I get your distant memory

We dance without saying anything
Melted to each other in our pupils
Feeling the pulse of the light of our souls
With kaleidoscope flashes

The music flowed from the rainbows
The moon, stars and planets
Illuminated our secret dance
Lit this, our eternal reunion

Churun Meru, Aponwao and Kukenan
Guiding the journey of a noble and forgotten primitive caste of the southern lands
going across the river stele in cristal canoes
Penetrating in the jungle to a shaman's meeting.

Outrider - Written, performed, recorded and produced by steph sweet in England August 2015
This track is taken from the forthcoming album " Unseen Air " due for release on 23rd September 2015 here http://stephsweet.bandcamp.com/
This is the last in a triptych of songs dedicated to Kay Morley.... ride on, ride on

Outrider

Feral at seventeen, we'd stay up all night and listen to rock.
Motorbike speed queen, she rode hard and fast and tough.
The sun shines a certain way and I'm thinking 'bout you.
The shadows lie a certain way and I'm thinking 'bout you.
Rain falls a certain way and I'm thinking 'bout you.
The sun shines a certain way and I'm thinking 'bout you.
Feral at seventeen, wayward and crazy and wild.
Black and chrome dream machines, we'd leave the dirty city behind.
The sun shines a certain way and I'm thinking 'bout you
Shadows lie a certain way and I'm thinking 'bout you.
The rain falls a cerain way and I'm thinking about you.
The sun shines a certain way and I'm thinking 'bout you.
Feral at seventeen, we'd stay up all night and listen to rock.
She can't be hanging around
Outrider ride on.
She can't be hanging around
Outrider ride on, rider, ride on.....

Edie Review " Thankfully Steph is still ploughing her particular esoteric furrow and has just released her new single Edie which is as good as anything she's released to date. It sounds like a darkly psychedelic theme from a long forgotten  left field spaghetti western and it's absorbing and utterly enchanting. If the Velvet Underground had been commissioned to do the title track for the Good, The Bad and the Ugly, this is how it would sound." The Devil Has The Best Tuna 13th May 2022

https://besttuna.blogspot.com/2022/05/StephSweet.html


https://www.stephsweet.co.uk  

Gigradar "British singer-songwriter Steph Sweet freely admits she’s a “refined taste” but it’s difficult to not be intrigued by her feisty, often contentious approach to pyschy acoustic indie-rock meets punk brand of music."

Popocculture
"Steph Sweet has brought an interesting and new sound to this area.
With powerful vocals, and swirlly and crunchy guitar riffs that wouldn’t sound out of place in a late 90’s britpop, yet grounded somewhere more in the early 80’s. “All The Things” is dark, broody, a little strange, but also interestingly an ear worm that will grab you and not let go." 

" If the Bronte sisters formed a freak folk band then it'd probably sound something like this." 
Paul Kerr - The Devil Has The Best Tuna

" Placed somewhere between Devandra Banhart and Joanna Newsome, the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist  -  vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards  -   combines a talent for bewitching songwriting, with a dreamy, lo-fi alt-gaze delivery."

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
