Yeah, there's a kind of energy to Simon King's drumming you just can't beat

Ended up on my Fresh Blood album - with Simon and Huw

These Eyes Can't Lie

Lyrics:
"Now we were drawn from the womb so long ago
Building our towers to lock ourselves away
Some became leaders among us prisoners
Painting the walls in white and bible black

But we're feeling inside that this can't be all
The great mother is calling us
And we're going home

Can you see that the colours are free
Now that autumn has come
And we dance with the leaves falling down
While the walls are withering, falling to the ground

A silver mirror at which we're drawn to stare
Can only show us all that we are not
While we have started to worship the machines
As they can measure the size of our cells

The song of the earth sleeps in everyone's heart
While we're longing eternally
Longing for our home

Can you see that the colours are free
Now that autumn has come
And we dance with the leaves falling down
While the spirits rising in the morning haze

We all are withering, falling to the ground!"

Autumn Has Come

Kleine Improvisation zur Nacht

Another Day

Contrairement au Dieu de Hobbes, dont la toute puissance interdit tout pacte avec les hommes ( c'est pourquoi -et heureusement - la politique n'est pas la religion), le Dieu Jaguar des Warrau et de toutes les sociétés autochtones d'Amazonie demande aux hommes, à chaque fois que ceux-ci prélèvent quelque chose de son royaume naturel, de lui donner en échange une part égale.  Et si, avec un tel pacte, les sociétés dites bêtement "primitives" avaient su gérer bien mieux que nous l'équilibre fragile entre l'homme et la nature ? (du moins si on les avait laissés vivre ailleurs que dans des "réserves").
_____________________________________________________________________________
Unlike Hobbes' God, whose omnipotence forbids any pact with men (which is why - and fortunately - politics is not religion), the Jaguar God of the Warrau and of all the indigenous societies of the Amazon asks men, each time they take something from his natural kingdom, to give him an equal share in exchange.  What if, with such a pact, so-called "primitive" societies had been able to manage the fragile balance between man and nature much better than we do? (at least if they had been allowed to live elsewhere than on "reserves").

(Verse 1)
Las olas me llaman al mar
Bajo el sol de la mañana
Mi tabla es mi compañero
El viento canta
Nunca se va

(Verse 2)
El agua salada brilla
El horizonte me guía
Con cada ola me siento vivo
La libertad en cada respiro

(Chorus)
Navegando en la ola
Siento el alma volar
Navegando en la ola
El mundo puedo olvidar

(Bridge)
El cielo azul es mi techo
El océano mi lugar secreto
Las olas rompen el silencio
En este mundo encuentro refugio

[Verse 3]
La espuma blanca me abraza
Cada surf es una danza
Cierro los ojos
Floto en paz
El mar y yo
En eterno compás

(Chorus)
Navegando en la ola
Siento el alma volar
Navegando en la ola
El mundo puedo olvidar

TITLE: I BELONG TO THE SEA
ENGLISH LYRICS:
----------------------------------------------------------
(Verse 1)
The waves call me to the sea
Under the morning sun
My board is my companion
The wind sings
It never goes away

(Verse 2)
The saltwater shines
The horizon guides me
With every wave I feel alive
Freedom in every breath

(Chorus)
Sailing on the wave
I feel my soul fly
Sailing on the wave
I can forget the world

(Bridge)
The blue sky is my roof
The ocean my secret place
The waves break the silence
In this world I find refuge

(Verse 3)
The white foam embraces me
Every surf is a dance
I close my eyes
I float in peace
The sea and I
In eternal rhythm

(Chorus)
Sailing on the wave
I feel my soul fly
Sailing on the wave
I can forget the world

Resistance to survival

I am indebted to Keith Kniverton for sending me this slightly ropey (in terms of audio quality) demo of my song 'Turn It On Turn It Off', which must have been recorded totally live at The Mill House (the residential rehearsal facility owned by Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire), where the Hawklords/wind were resident sometime in 1979.  I seem to remember sunshine and no money, with me doing all the cooking on no/low budget. I have no memory of why Martin Griffin (and the great Bob Calvert) left, and how the brilliant Simon King came to be playing drums with the band again, albeit briefly. It's a loooong time ago!

This first version of the track features the classic line-up of Simon King (drums), Harvey Bainbridge (bass & harmonies), Dave Brock (guitar & harmonies) and myself on vocals and keyboards.

It later appeared as one of the stand-out tracks on my 1980 album Fresh Blood (featuring Simon King, Huw Lloyd-Langton and Nic Potter), which is now  - I'm pleased to say - remastered and available on iTunes and all the usual online outlets  - via Atomhenge/Cherry Red.

Steve Swindells is a singer/songwriter/musician/producer and artistic polymath. He owns all the rights to the tracks featured on here (PRS/MCPS) -  apart from the Hawklords, Tre Nation, Findike and Spirits Burning tracks (and 'Shot Down In The Night' and 'Turn It On Turn It Off', which Steve wote, but are published by Warner Chappell) - so all the other tracks and co-writes are available to sample (with permission and a suitable publishing split!) and to cover and/or licence.

The Plastic Sturgeons, Steve's ad-hoc, all-star jamming band, were honoured to be joined by one of the best bass players in the world, Guy Pratt (just google him - I'll mention Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson for starters) at their live gig at The Real Music Club In Brighton. Then Amy Winehouse's bass player and musical director Dale Davis guested at the next super-jam @ The Brunswick in Brighton on Nov 23rd.  That was Steve's 61st b/day party too. All tracks were recorded by the most excellent Roy Weard.

Steve's new(old) double CD The Lost Albums was released in 2012 on Flicknife Records (http://www.flickniferecords.co.uk) and you can read the first review of it here: http://www.recordcollectormag.com/reviews/review-detail/8099 - also available from iTunes, Amazon.co.uk, Play.com and HMV.com

Steve's 1974 Album 'Messages' was digitally remastered and reissued on Esoteric/Cherry Red, in 2009, as was his classic 1980 album Fresh Blood (Atomhenge/Cherry Red). The latter is also available on Spotify, iTunes etc etc.

Steve's double compilation album of home recordings and demos from the late 80s through to 2013 is called 'New Crescent Yard' and is available to download for just $10 here, as his new album 'The Hanging Baskets Of Babylon' : http://steveswindells.bandcamp.com and they are also on most streaming and download platforms.

Steve's burgeoning multimedia EBook 'Sex N' Drugs N' Sausage Rolls' is now free to peruse (for a limited period) on http://steveswindells/wordpress.com/about

Steve also played with the re-convened Hawklords (he was in the band in 1978/9), which features the cream of the ex-members of Hawkwind and The Hawklords. Steve also played quirky keyboards on The Hawklords' 2012 release 'We Are One' before leaving the band.
