Something's Coming, The third single from the forthcoming album 'Missing Out' coming October 31, 2025

SOMETHING’S COMING

DON’T KNOW WHAT BUT I’M RUNNING

OUT OF THINGS WORTH RUNNING FROM

THE RACE IS NO FUN WHEN YOU’VE WON

ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE

WHAT’S COME OVER ME I’VE OVERCOME

A MORATORIUM ON MARTYRDOM

BEING THIS PREPARED IS SENSELESS

WHEN NOBODY IS INFILTRATING YOUR DEFENSES

AND TAKING CHANCES 

ISN’T LIBERATING WHEN YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES

AND EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYBODY NOW

SO THANK THE GOD YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN

FOR BEING THERE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR GRIEVING 

AND HAVING FAITH IN YOUR DECISIONS

ISN’T QUITE THE SAME WHEN YOU’VE BEEN HAVING PREMONITIONS

OF EVERYBODY TELLING YOU YOU’RE WRONG

OH AND THE WAIT FOR SOMETHING GREAT IS HALF AS LONG

AS SOMETHING THAT’S ALREADY GOING ON

AND SOMETHING’S COMING

DON’T KNOW WHY BUT I’M RUNNING

OUT OF THINGS I’M RUNNING FROM

TRYING TO OUTRUN WHAT’S TO COME

ONLY TO COVER THE TRACKS OF WHAT’S BEEN DONE

Missing Out

Something's Coming

Shakeout, The second single from the forthcoming album 'Missing Out' coming October 31, 2025

I TOOK MY OWN BREATH AWAY FROM MYSELF AND COULDN’T BREATHE

I TRIED TO LOOK AROUND FOR YOU BUT MY EYES COULDN’T SEE

THROUGH THE SMOKE I CHOSE TO CHOKE DOWN UNTIL I CEASED TO BE

A PART OF WHAT I USED TO THINK WAS WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF ME

AND I WON’T BE AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THIS THROUGH

AND I WON’T LET YOU DOWN FROM THE SOUND YOUR RUNNING TO

AND I WON’T BE AFRAID WHEN I FINALLY GET TO BE

ANOTHER PIECE OF THE GROUND UNDERNEATH OUR FAVORITE TREE

SO COME WITH ME TO THE END OF THE WORLD WE’RE SLEEPING IN

OH WE CAN BE JUST LIKE WE WERE WHEN WE WEREN’T FEEDING IN

TO ALL THE LIES THAT WE TOLD TO KEEP US OUT OF TROUBLE THEN

NOW WE CAN DIE FROM THE COLD THAT WE KEPT FROM CREEPING IN

AND THAT’S THE END

OF THE SUFFERING WE BEGGED THEM TO LET US WIN

NOW THERE’S A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT I WISH I HADN’T BEEN

BUT I’LL FIND YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE AND I’LL MAKE IT UP TO THEM

BUT FOR NOW YOU SHOULD BE PROUD YOU DIDN’T LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

AND I WON’T BE AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THIS THROUGH

AND I WON’T LET YOU DOWN FROM THE SOUND YOUR RUNNING TO

AND I WON’T BE AFRAID WHEN I FINALLY GET TO BE

ANOTHER PIECE OF THE GROUND UNDERNEATH OUR FAVORITE TREE

SO COME WITH ME TO THE END OF THE WORLD WE’RE SLEEPING IN

OH WE CAN BE JUST LIKE WE WERE WHEN WE WEREN’T FEEDING IN

TO ALL THE LIES THAT WE TOLD TO KEEP US OUT OF TROUBLE THEN

NOW WE CAN DIE FROM THE COLD THAT WE KEPT FROM CREEPING IN

AND THAT’S THE END

Shakeout

All Time High, the fourth single from the forthcoming album 'Missing Out'

I’M WRITING YOU OFF YOU’RE WRITING IT DOWN

I’M TAKING MY LAST DRINK IN THIS TOWN

I’M SAYING GOODBYE TO THE GOOD TIMES

AND SAYING HELLO TO A NEW LIFE

WHERE YOU WON’T BE AROUND ALL OF THE TIME

WHERE YOU WON’T BRING ME DOWN EVERY NIGHT

WHERE I CAN JUST HANG AROUND WITH THE LOW LIFES

AND YOU WON’T BE AROUND TO CRITICIZE

MY ALIBIS

NOW I’M TAKING IT EASY WITH THE BLACK SPOON

I’M TAKING SOME PICTURES IN A BLACK ROOM

CIRCLES UNDER MY EYES LOOK LIKE A RACCOON

AND WITH THESE SHAKING FITS I’M GONNA CRACK SOON

CAUSE I’M FUCKING AROUND MOST OF THE TIME

I’M STUCK ON THE GROUND YELLING I’M FINE

AND NOBODY’S THERE TO TELL ME I’M RIGHT

AND NOBODY CARES IF I START A FIGHT

WITH NO ONE TONIGHT

AND OOOH I’M SO LOST I DON’T KNOW IF I’LL EVER COME HOME

OOOH I FORGOT THE WAY TO FAKE IT TILL I LEARN TO MAKE IT ALONE

AND OOOH I’M SO LOST I DON’T KNOW IF I’LL EVER COME HOME

OOOH I FORGOT THE WAY TO FAKE IT TILL I LEARN TO MAKE IT ALONE

I've been tied up learning how to be a dad for the last few months.   This is the result of too many ideas over too long a period so the kitchen sink was thrown at this track. 

I hear John Barry and Serge Gainsbourg in the approach.   The Easter themed titling was accidental!

Soul Of The World from LIVE2love

World -Raga- Acoustic Guitar Music for Yoga, Contemplation, Meditation, Heart, Mind and Soul, or just to Chill. Real Instruments played by Real People. 

Stevin McNamara has been playing and recording music for over 40 years.
He is in the unique position of being an accomplished 
Composer/Musician and a Recording Engineer.
This gives him total freedom in any music/recording environment.

Born in South Africa, Stevin started learning piano and guitar at the age 
of seven. He played solo and in bands all the way through high school.
At the age of twenty one, Stevin moved to the United States, where he 
had more formal training at Berklee College of Music in Boston Mass.
He has been involved in music ever since.

Although Stevin grew up with the sounds of African Music, he also 
discovered Indian Music in the early seventies and studied the Sitar with 
Ram Chakravarty of Benares who was then professor of music at 
Wesleyan College in Connecticut.
This diverse exposure to such a broad spectrum of music, ranging from 
World to Pop has contributed to the unique musical style he has 
developed over the years.

In the late seventies, after spending considerable time as a session 
musician in recording studios, Stevin became fascinated with what was 
happening on the "other side of the glass", namely the recording process
itself. This passion developed into a highly successful career as an audio 
engineer.

He has worked in the fields of Popular music World, Folk, Jazz, Film and 
Television in top studios in South Africa, England, and the United States,
He is perfectly at home in any State of the Art recording facility, or Live 
Sound scenario, even at Stadium Concert level. He is qualified to teach 
Audio engineering at College level.

Stevin has worked with well- known producers such as Robert John "Mutt"
Lange and a huge spectrum of recording artists (see Artist List - www.yogitar.com)
- from Paul Winter to Tina Turner- from Bryan Adams to Zakir Hussein.

He now lives In Ashland Oregon where he spends his time doing 
freelance recording, original music production, and live performances

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
