I Can't Make You Stay

This track features vocals and lyrics created by Jennifer Roe. 

“Crystal Radio” is 4 track album released in 2022.  The central thread related to how time and life flow in an unpredictable pattern, but within boundaries. Lines are created based on decisions we make, big or small.  How different would someone’s life change based on these decisions?  Even say, stopping or not stopping to have a drink at a water fountain, decades previously. Everything after would have been jostled around, but with what impact?  

Two previous tracks have used this theme. ‘Silica Daughter’ appears on the 2021 project “Cloktacs III” and uses a sample where the question is asked, “You won’t fail me will you?”.  Later in 2021, samples from the 90-year-old movie ‘Back Street’ were repurposed to create a radio play called ‘Back Lane’ which will be aired as part of the 2022 Radiophrenia event in Scotland. The storyline of the movie follows a chain of events set in motion by a simple decision that alters the lives of the characters completely, forever, and ends in a classic, ‘what if’…

The final track “Tracing Home” again features Jennifer,  bookending this project with two fabulous performances.

Tracing Home [Ft. Jen Roe]

Maybe one day you'll look back in time
Maybe one day you'll see it all
Maybe one day you'll walk down the line
Maybe one day you'll learn to fall

'Cause we rise and we fall
Yeah we rise and we fall

I wasn't the one who called you out
I wasn't the one who spoke of doubt
I wasn't the one who was too proud
I wasn't the one

Maybe some day we'll be fine
Maybe some day we'll know it all
Maybe some day we'll meet some time
Maybe some day we'll no longer fall

'Cause we rise and we fall
Yeah we rise and we fall

I wasn't the one who called you out
I wasn't the one who spoke of doubt
I wasn't the one who was too proud
I wasn't the one

I was the one who soon burned out
I was the one who made you doubt
I was the one who made you proud
I was the one

I Was The One

There will always be differences and points of contention. These can destroy us or make us stronger and better. I think the path we choose here depends on face to face discussions, exchanging ideas and recognizing there are many ways to exist that are not mutually exclusive

everyone has to find their own peace
I can't tell you exactly what I see
As you can't tell me exactly what you need
still we must find a way to agree

you know the demons dancing in your head
their names, their faces and all of their children
to you they are real and something to dread
to me they are nothing but shadows in your head

we sit on a park bench and look out at the view
I see a sunrise and the glistening dew
but you tell me you're afraid it may rain
I say the rain brings color to the flowers
you say it just brings cold and darkness

you look at a person and see black red or white
I see a father and a brother and a wife
you hold your cell phone like it's your heart and soul
yet I can walk in a forest  and won't be alone

if we want world peace and brotherhood of man
then there's two ways to get there from where I am
we can learn to live together knowing that makes us strong
or keep killing each other till we are all together gone

can we both be right or are we both really wrong
to think that the other is too far gone
or should we accept that differences exist
so learn from each other
THAT is life's secret trick

tolerance..life's secret trick

The island of the bees, second part.

Part two of the dytych "Isalnd of bees"
The flight of Icarus over the island of bees.
The idea about the simultaneity of events, in parallel universes. It fires the imagination.

Insel Der Bienen - Part Two

I keep a box 
and you can bet I keep it locked 
nightmares stuffed inside 
and 
I refuse to pay it any mind 
cause I know it’s all tangled and untame 
       So I refrain 
           yea       I refrain 

Ripples running cross the surface 
being chased
at any moment 
I’m capsized and rolling over 
and you know I want to blame the wave 
       the anger and the flame 
A fire in my belly
Lightening in my veins

Then I feel the shame 
       yea I feel the shame
so I put it all away 

In a box
I keep 
Buried at my feet 
all tangled and untame 

Yea
I feel the anger and the flame 
Fire in my belly 
Lightening in my veins

you know 
gotta put it back again
