The Warm Up

Wander
With You

I want to wander with you.
Wonderful, wonderful,
I love to wander and
I want to wander with you.

I want to wander with you.
Do the things we said we'd do.

We have worked our whole life.
Had our fair share of strife.
Now it's high time I get gone with you.

I want to wander with you.
See places we never knew.

We could drive up the coast,
Chase the dreams we love most
and I'll cherish whatever we do.

Through the Dells,
we'll let chance tell
which way to turn.
Ring our own freedom bell.

Leave without a trace.
Think of a place.
We can get lost
finally ditch this rat race.

We can soak up the sun.
That would be so much fun.
Maybe take in a sweet mountain view.

We could lay by the river
or swim till we shiver.
I'm happiest when I'm with you.

I want to wander with you.
Disappear for a week, maybe two.

There's this little Cafe
off the Champs-Elysees
Baby who knows who we'll
bump into.

I want to wander with you.
Forget all the bills that are due.

Honey let's take the train
or maybe board a plane.
To our neighbors and friends
say adieu.

Outta sight.
We'll follow the light.
Destiny calls.
Down the road all is right.

Baby you're the one
and our day has come.
I want to wander
and never be done.

So just fantasize.
Time is the prize
Look in my eyes
and you'll soon realize

that we need this break
for goodness sake.
Can't you imagine
the memories we'll make?

There are so many places
with wide open spaces.
Possibilities made for two.

So let's seek the adventure
and wander together
So happy when I am with you!

Wander With You

This terrific song is the work of our friend Steve Low who granted us permission to attempt a cover. As much as we love Steve's original, we saw no point in trying to do it the same as he so wonderfully did, so we thought it would be fun to go country, perhaps a bit bluegrass and we're very excited to share it here. The song has some terrific lyrics that describe the longing one experiences when the one they love is gone. We thank Steve for allowing us the privilege and we also are pleased to again feature the amazing banjo work of Hamilton Belk.

Lyrics (by Steve Low):
You yes you’re living in a cage
You’re bouncing off the bars
But it’s my ribs and tissue that’s inflammed
Yes it’s I who’s watching for your car
My roots are deep here in the west
Invested here I have to stay
But you got gypsy in your blood
Your fiddles playing the sounds of Spain
And so I’m watching yes I’m watching
All the headlights - all the headlights
Oh I’m watching yes I’m watching 
All the headlights - all the headlights
Coming up over the hill - hoping that one of them is you

Though you’ve had a travelling circus life
You been courting stability
And I’ve been prostrate at your feet
I been licking your toes to sleep
And though you bathe in pleasures warm
I sense our wine is running dry
I know as you commute each morn
You’re not the type to say goodbye
And so I’m watching . . . you

This evening’s sky is coal dust cloud
You’re late and I’m a clairvoyant
This house empty of all sound 
This house is empty
This house is empty

Hit the ground crawling, seems a thousand years ago,
Ever since been falling down, no place I called home.
Now the tides of time are rising, waters lapping high,
No sense in compromising when you’ve no need for goodbyes.

Would have made peace with the Lord, if only I could find him,
Never did return my calls, guess he’s time a-bidin’.
So I figured as I’m all alone, and ever so shall be,
Grind my boots down to the bone, walking to my destiny.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

At my silhouetted bridge of sighs, pause to catch the river air,
Reflecting on a life slipped by, meet my solitary stare.
So I’ll lay me ‘neath the willows at the babbled brook-side edge,
Mossy rock eternal pillow, sand my final bed.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

………

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Where I’m headed the freight train knows,
Distant crying whistle calling softly to me now.
Drenched eyes fall ‘neath setting sun, 
Final call for moving on,
After all, even one can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

Beat Street

this is a recording from a couple of years ago, just me and guitar. 

So I'd watched the amazing Peter Jackson, WW1 documentary film, They Shall Not Grow Old. It really brought the subject to life, and was a vivid and sensitive documentation of the great war. 

The following night I watched a BBC documentary which was an insight into the origins of shell shock, in terms of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, what we would now call PTSD. Some really harrowing stories were told from WW1. 

One story in particular haunted me. A tale of a young teenager suffering from shell shock and sent home to recover before going back to the trenches. He was so traumatized by the effects of war, that he pleaded with his mother to hide him under the stairs when the army came looking for him. The mother did exactly that, but the boy was dragged back off to war, where the  boy could well suffer the ignominy of being killed by his own comrades if he refused to fight.

It's hugely hard to comprehend this sort of story, and it's not my place to condemn or condone behaviour in warfare as I have no experience whatsoever of it.  

But I can certainly feel empathy for the boy, and although these harrowing tales are hard to rationalize, this song was my meagre attempt to show empathy and genuine compassion towards a story that touched me greatly.

And so the song is told as, The Boy Beneath The Stairs. 

Lyrics

Mamma I heard the call, are we going to war
mamma please don't you let them take your boy

if they come, would you hide me beneath those staris

they dragged me kick and scream from beneath the stairs
called me coward, n gave me a gun 
and said please go ahead

now I shake from head to toe
I got nowhere to stand

mamma please do you remember when
we stayed up half the night 
and laughed our heads
mamma I'm seeing things
my brain don't comprehend

mamma I'm telling you now
I see your face
and this is gonna be the very last pain I feel
really wish I could of stayed beneath those stairs
really wish I could of stayed beneath those stairs

when I refused to jump, they shot me dead
no last post no holy ghost 
they just leave you there

thanks for listening and reading along, really appreciate it✌️








Boy Beneath The Stairs

Another bizarro trot around the paddock with the inimitable The Phaige and Dairv W, my astral Neighbours. Gary sent over his backing before Santa loaded up the sleigh and D and I worked independently at first then bounced some ideas around. Gary meanwhile worked his magic with layer upon layer of synth and some really cool bass. D soars and flies magnificently. 
A real pleasure to work with these gents..great talent and always high quality. Modern, proggy music that I hope you enjoy

Poker Face

Seeing as light is fading from the centre of your eyes
And the blog that I been posting 
Don’t change your face design
I find I got no knowledge of the ways inside your mind
Any feelings you have gathered are hidden by disguise

How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will I be nowhere 
I’ve never seen or felt some kind of sign
But I’m wishin’ for that magic kind of ride
How will I know you
How do I get there
What will I feel inside
Will you be elsewhere
I’m seeing but I may as well be blind
Your poker face is killing me inside

I’m so ever hopeful I got sensors in my teeth
If you favour me with meeting eyes I’m flushing red as beet
And dissecting every phrase of yours and liberating nothing
I got to get to you or else I’ll shrink away to stuffing
