Lyrics

Check my watch time and again
Wondering where is my friend
Second-hand ticks back in time
Navigate this narrow line

As I stumble on a rock and succumb down on bended knee
Feel the weight of the wide world relentlessly weigh down on me
Pressed by gravity facedown upon an alien planet
Resurrect myself once more and activate the after jets

Apollo goes round the moon
Hope that I can see you soon
Emerge scathed from the dark side
Wounded heart and damaged pride

Long bomb deep calm hi mom so long must go solo tears dry bye

Took your spurred stiletto and spiked down upon my baby toe
Eclipsed all the sunlight so that you could make the darkness grow
Twist in your machete heel then strike it with a fancy pose
Damper my horizon hope with a dead dying wilted rose

Flame flickers deep in the night
Stalking shadows strive to fight
Embers start to lose their glow
Minute hand begins to slow

Flow stumbling right back to you
Roll tumbling without a clue
Bumbling don’t know what to do
Slow crumbling coming unglued
Heard that you’ve written me off
From Kennedy to Khrushchev
A million to one long shot

Snip clip a ponytail and then tie in a knot
Ship to a foreign land in which time had forgot
Shakespeare Delorean of what’s been sold and bought
Clean sweep the hubris clear of debris that’s been sought

Thinking about you
Dreaming a lot too
Picturing your face
Contour I ghost trace
Rewinding your touch
Missing it so much
Recall the laughter
Hope ever after

Soul feels lost on down the road
Doesn’t know which way to go
Feeling stretched out wearing thin
Must regroup pull in again

Flow stumbling right back to you
Roll tumbling without a clue
Bumbling don’t know what to do
Slow crumbling coming unglued
Heard that you’ve written me off
From Kennedy to Khrushchev
A million to one long shot

As I laid it out pure bare and gave it all I simply had
Never ever occurred to me that it was a passing fad
As you took your talon hands and tore apart my bleeding heart
Segregate the pieces so that we would always be apart

Tsunami feeling came with a sudden rush
Buckled my knees hard and a making me blush
Some folks may claim that it’s a trifle bit lush
Compactor settings locked to crinkle and crush

Next was the salute when you proclaimed shotgun
Paint-chipped the finish as I strove to outrun
Seeking a cheap thrill said you did it for fun
Unfurl the white flag cause I’m one and then done

Making me sad vibrato
Dragging me bad the grotto
Breaking my soul like Pluto
Moving like gold black judo

Feel the sun popping up
Might replenish my cup
Light step skipping a beat
Recharged feeling so neat
Might reenter the vibe
This flow want to imbibe
Carefree riding the wave
Cresting into my cave

The Garden Series - Vol. 1: Planted

Long Bomb Deep Calm

Long Bomb Deep Calm - Pennan Brae - Planted

Street Arts Project, a non-profit charity working with the homeless and vulnerable of Stratford upon Avon, will be releasing their new album ‘Wake Me Up Tomorrow’ on January 14th.

The album is the culmination of two years workshops throughout the lockdowns and features Street Arts Project’s participants and professional musicians, Nigel Clark (frontman of ‘90s Britpop legends Dodgy), Wes Finch and Jack Blackman. 

The 13 songs on ‘Wake Me Up Tomorrow’ tackle the themes of addiction, loneliness, boats, mental health problems, isolation, even 19th century dentistry! 

The workshops, funded by Stratford Town Trust, support attendees to write lyrics, poems, a piece of music, or simply a page of thoughts, that are then crafted into songs.

Doug Armstrong, Facilitator said “We give a voice to experiences and feelings and a chance to unlock a creativity that the participants hadn't previously known how to articulate or share. Fun, at times bizarre, occasionally sad, but always real. Just like life.”

The first single is the title track, ‘Wake Me Up Tomorrow’ featuring lyrics by Jonas, originally from Lithuania. Jonas spent years sleeping rough in a tent.
