Kind of a blur

Eleven eleven

Regardless

Are we there yet?

Hypnic jerks

The long way home

New Release : Give it to them.
Hard melodic drum and bass. Hope you Enjoy it!

Garidose - Give it to them

Give It To Them

For Jean's retirement  - Cheers !
Lyrics:
He’s got the key to retirement
Billed out and bound to go
Gotta leave here running 
Walking is much too slow

He was working for Mitel
But to see the world was the prize
Though the application process
Was onerous in his eyes

After 3 years he made it,
But at half his previous rate
His first Temporary Duty was 
Enough to seal his fate

Though his posting to DC
Got him out of the shop
Getting married on the roof, man
Is awfully hard to top

His thoughtful long pauses
Make you anxious thru and thru 
Is it really contemplation
Or is he about to fire you

He came in at the right time
Technology about to change
With MITNET expanding
The department wouldn’t be the same
 
He spent seven years in Paris
As team lead and RTM
Many TDs and travel
Kept him occupied until then

Instrumental to ESMAIT
You committed to see it through
Keeping two groups happy
Was not so easy to do

Upwardly mobile,
You never missed a beat
A Master’s of Leadership
Put you in the front seat

He moved on from DFAIT
As IRB’s CIO
To modernize the bureau was
The only way to go

Hey Jean, we’re gonna miss you
Neither place will be the same
But we’ll have memories and emails
And policies that bear your name

You got the key to retirement
Billed out and bound to go
Gotta leave here running, man
Cause walking is much too slow

“TAO BREAKDOWN”

roll on sweet river
ebb and then flow
twist and you turn
on you go
...
I’m the man overboard
lost in your mist and your glow
twist and we turn
on we go
on we go

i can look at the stars tao
and not wish i was the night
i can feel the sun tao
and not wish i was the sky
but when I’m with her
wish i was everything in her eyes
tao breakdown
rollin’ in her arms

the sky was abandoned
deserted in grey
when I fell in your water
I was saved

roll on sweet river
ebb and then flow
twist and you turn
and on we go
...
I’m the man overboard
i don’t fight it anymore
twist and turn
on we go
on we go

	STRING MY GUITAR
It's all I can do to string this guitar.
Stop and I start, I never get far.
 
It's all I can do to string this guitar.
Stop and I start I never get far.
Get a good job in the city they say.
All of those miles drive the blues away.

Dancin' a-cross the bohemian sky.
Checkin' the mirror, checkin' my tie.
These are the days I don't wanna forget.
Can't think of the day that hasn't come yet.

It's all I can do to string this guitar.
Stop and I start, I never get far.

Get a good job in they city they say
Stop tearin' down on that empty page
Tune and the lyrics come eventually
Just a little way but still far from me

Be happy, be healthy, be wonky and wise
Colour the pages outside the lines. 
Y'all know what I been talkin' about.
Bye n bye it'll all work out.

It's all I can do to string this guitar.
At it all day but I never get far.
Find a good job in the city they say
Let all the miles drive the blues away
