Voices 2

I don’t know,(where my home is). Feat. Gernot Baur

Floating into Wonder

Now that the border’s open - she’s on the overnighter
Up near the universe so vivid as it’s shining brighter
So long in isolation – We living on our phones
But what a torture that is - needing flesh n bone

And I’m waiting near the runway’s end
Watching descending lights 
And that final roar overhead – hey I’m lifted so high

And we’ll be floating into wonder (mm mm mm)
Gifted this new path
Cause she is out the other side of it (now we can be)
Floating into wonder

This kiss is never ending - senses remember her
Flooding skin in waves - how to find the words?
We walking tied together – in love with baggage claim
In love with everybody – and I just say her name

And how we’ll sing - and the car will sing
As I bring this girl back home
And all who love her wait in clover at the end of the golden road 

And we’ll be floating into wonder . . .

Yeah I’m chosen one tonight ‘cause I got my lady home

FLOATING INTO WONDER

Written over ten years ago as a heavier rock tune for a band I was playing with at the time.  Over the years, this song always hung around but slowly got mellower with age…

Just like me 🤪✌️

Lyrics

I saw you on your way
I wanted you to be free
What will be will be
But I had to let you know
That I had to let you go
And let you be

But the Tears are in my Mind
Withering in time
They linger in the soul
Then they come and go...

When all your dreams come true
I know your dreams come true
I'll be right here for you
So throw away your tears 
And uninvited fears
And always know my dear

That the Tears are in my Mind
Withering in time
They linger in the soul
Then they come and go
The longing of the heart
For the tie that binds
Waiting for the world
To see what you will find
The Tears are in my Mind

Tears In My Mind

Speak to me
You are all that I can see
I am one
I am one

Hold my hand 
I have done what I can do
Though I am just a man
Just a man

When the rains fall
They will sweep us all away
when the sky palls 
at the ending of the day
You are my love
and that's all that I can say
We were here
We were here

I must leave
and though parting tears my heart
I had love
I had love
You're with me now
and that's all that I want
We have love
We have love

When the rain falls etc

We Had Love

recorded at home on my 8 track

here's the lyrics for folks that like to read along. Cheers for all the love and inspiration fellow soundclouders.

I'm getting sick and I'm getting tired
morning smog filled up my lungs
has swollen my desires
but don't go pointing no pistol in my face
I'm going to mess you up and
put you in your place
gonna put you in your place

you're getting ferile I'm getting wired
the magazine was loaded and
uncertain shots were fired
but don't go blowing no smoke ring 
in my face
I'm going to mess you up and
put you in your place
gonna put you in your place

where the children go, nobody looks 
nobody knows
place where the children go
when they have got no fixed abode
place where the children go
where nobodies gonna miss them
when the go
don't miss them when they go

batten down my hatches
I'll seal you to your fate
boil you up for breakfast
then pour you on my plate

but don't go pulling no hood over my face
you've lost when I have won the race
I've put you in your place


something like that, cheers for listening and reading, if you got that far👍

星は私たちを見守ってくれているような気がします。
前回の曲でシャウトしてしまったので、今回は少しのんびりした曲にしてみました。
ボーカルが少し小さい？よくわからなくなってきた(笑)

The stars are watching over us.
I shouted in the previous song, so this time I tried to make it a little laid-back song.
(Is the vocal a little small? I'm not sure.)

■歌詞
「夜に滲む星」

夜の海に　滲む星たちが
色あせながら　揺れている
汽笛の音は　どこかとぼけていて
孤独な時間を　紛らわしてくれる

開いた窓から　夜が入ってきて
疲れた身体を　癒してくれるけど
流れていく　夜空の雲は
目を離したすきに　遠くへ行っていた

水平線に　星が落ちていく
私を乗せて　孤独を乗せて
夜の海に　滲む星は
まるで灯台の　灯り　

星の　滲む　夜
私を乗せて　船は　行く

夜空には　満天の星
夜の海には　滲んだ星
私の手には　沢山の罪
孤独な夜に　滲む星

■ Lyrics (Google Translate)
"Stars that blur at night"

Stars bleeding into the sea at night
Shaking while fading
The sound of the whistle is blurry somewhere
Distracts lonely time

The night is flowing from the open window
It will heal your tired body
The clouds in the flowing night sky
I went far away when I took my eyes off

Stars fall on the horizon
Put me on, put loneliness on
The stars that bleed into the sea at night
It's like a lighthouse light

Starry night
The ship goes with me

Stars in the night sky
Stars bleeding into the sea at night
Many sins in my hands
Stars blur in a lonely night

COLD SWEAT

In a cold cold sweat
Can’t get any sleep
In a cold cold sweat 
Feelings running too deep

On the streets of ancient gods
Hit a red light, see a Greek memory
Push the gas, see the ghosts of ambition
It’s an avalanche only in your mind

Did you finish
Did you even start 
Do you have the time
Can you see the line
Do you even need it
Does anybody give or care

Home again there’s good and there’s bad
What a day will it ever get better
You think you did all that you could
Still feels like less than you should

You find yourself in a wet shirt
Can’t remember if you’re young or old
It’s a hot night and still you’re cold
Not the first time or the last time
Not the last time

It’s a cold cold sweat
Can’t get any sleep
It’s a cold cold sweat 
Feelings running too deep
It’s a cold cold sweat
It’s a cold cold sweat
Feelings running too deep

Days gone by you did the right thing
A great success admired by all
Sometimes you even forget
Sometimes
 
Sweet life no ifs and buts
Fall asleep in a star studded dream
A night like so many others
Not the first time, not the last time 
Not the last time

I can’t shake this cold sweat
I can’t shake this cold sweat

كلمات: الشاعر عبد الرحمن الابنودى 

جى من البلاد البعيدة
لا زاد ولا ميه
وغربتى صحبتى بتحوم حواليا
وانتى تقوليلى بحبك
تحبى ايه فيا وده حب ايه
ده اللى من غير اى حرية

يونس فى بلاد الشوق 
اه ياولد الهلالى
بتونسنى دموع العين وانا سايب اهالى
اه ياولد الهلالى لعليا ولابيا
ياعزيزة يابنت السلطان لو يتغير الزمان
وقابلتينى فى اى مكان كنت اعشق من غير ماتقولى 
يووونس انا يونس

كنت هقول اهو ده المحبوب
ويدوب قلبى قبل ما ادوب
اه ياولد الهلالى لعليا ولابيا
انا يونس ونسيت مين يونس 
والدنيا مالت عليا

قلبى ضايع مين يلاقيه لى 
باينى نسيته حدا اهلى
ينفع احبك من غير قلبى 
ماتردوا عليها وعليا
اه ياولد الهلالى لعليا ولابيا

ياعزيزة يابنت السلطان لو يتغير الزمان
وقابلتينى فى اى مكان كنت اعشق من غير ماتقولى 
يووونس انا يونس
كنت هقول اهو ده المحبوب
ويدوب قلبى قبل ما ادوب

اه ياولد الهلالى لعليا ولابيا
انا يونس ونسيت مين يونس 
والدنيا مالت عليا

Fictive Sisters is a transatlantic collaboration of Wheelwright and Beckenstein. Our album Immaculate Distraction is available at: https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction

When I was seventeen
And really so in love
I did not understand
How much of an embarrassment I was to you
But looking back I see
You were really very kind to me
And you had to move on
But at the time I just felt so rejected

But now I'm a grownup
I'll say I don't care
And life's just a train wreck
And life isn't fair
But when I look in the mirror
I'm not sure what I see
Now I'm a grownup

When I was ten and
We were driving back from holiday
And it was dusk and we hit this young deer
After we came off the motorway
And it was hurt real bad
Dad stopped the car got out to do what had to be done
But I could not understand
I thought it was my fault I so wanted it to be OK

[Repeat chorus]

It never really goes away
It never really goes away

Forgiven (Wheelwright x Six Four Zero Two)

Another demo for our upcoming debut. We love the flow of this song! Let us know what you think! We hope you enjoy it! Keep on making good music!

The stars are shining bright tonight
Let them shine
The moon has never looked so kind
I don't mind

We don't need the starlight
Escaping from the past
We leave the town at last

The ocean looked the same back then
I don't mind
The radio plays our song again
All the time
And we can build a future
Escaping from the past
We're coming home at last

And if you still care for me
Then I will be around
And if you take care of me
then I will stick around
then I will stick around

And I can be alone tonight
I don't mind
The stars have never been so bright
Let them shine

The words that build our future
Can cover up the past
we leave it all at last

And if you still care for me
You know where I'll be found
And I will take care of you
Just you stick around
Just you stick around

Starlight

words and music K Gennery
sunset photo taken from my back garden, a view across the Romney Marshes.

Bring me a fully functioning brain,
a spine that can move freely from pain.
But I'll keep this old heart, if it's all the same,
It's the best part of me.

Though it's been wounded many a time,
I shall never exhange for a draconian kind.
Always open given totally free,
it's the best part of me.

Oh forebode won't you tell me so,
for the peace that I seek inside my soul.
Comfort me now in this hour of need,
tether my raw and benevolent seed.

Still beating strong after all it's been through,
I could tell you my woes unbelievably true.
But I'll leave it for now, maybe later you'll see,
It's the best part of me.

Oh forebode won't you tell me so,
for the peace that I seek inside my soul.
Comfort me now in this hour of need,
tether my raw and benevolent seed.

oh forebode

oh forebode (best part of me)

Moment One

I didn’t care whose voice it was
I’m captive and a slave
Bright and pure shines her star
Upon that glorified guitar
Until we came to Spenlow’s grave

No pausing on the brink
I was gone
No time to even think
Fallen headlong
From moment one

Enough wrung out of me to drown
A fellow moonstruck clerk
Steeped in a sea of soup and sound
Bite the key to my carpet bag
Distinguish in the dark

Weak infatuation, maudlin mind 
Celestial blue
Saturated through and through
Turn into a room close at hand
The empress of my heart

Many thanks to Steve Pumphrey for playing the guitar solo on this recording.

Moment One

A couple of months ago, Rodolfo Planes from Tierra del Fuego sent me a wonderful piece of music (in a different key and without lead guitar) that he hoped I’d write lyrics for… 
I was so excited that the first verse popped into my head almost straightaway, and with great patience and honesty, Rodolfo lead me through the learning curve that would be the gestation of this song.
The passionate music somehow stirred in me a sense of longing and belonging, combined with the enforced isolation from loved ones during lockdown. I think Rodolfo’s music helped me express this powerfully.
His solo still continues to move me even after countless listens. I am very grateful to him for this opportunity and I sincerely hope we can work on other projects. 
Thanks for listening and please check out Rodolfo’s cloud if you can.

I know where I’m going,
Though I don’t know where I am.
My drive ain’t slowing,
If it’s Birmingham, Alabam.
Gotta get me on the road,
Back to where I’m coming from,
Might not have the zip code,
But I know where I belong. 
I know, I know, I know that I belong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I know what I’m missing,
And where I might find it.
Without even reminiscing,
I’m right back there, I admit.
Close my eyes, and I’m there,
Though in reality,
I’m still stuck in elsewhere,
And I’m the absentee.   
I know, I know, I know that I’ve done wrong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I’ve been uninvited,
Yet I felt compelled to come
A need to be reunited,
Whatever the outcome.
This prodigal believes,
In the error of his ways.
He vows that he’ll never leave,
Where his hat now he lays
I know, I know, I know that I’m back home.
It has taken some time,
But I feel at home already.
I’ve been down that road.

I Did Not Mean To Kill Her

Some background - I've inherited an English 5-string zither banjo - a Windsor Eclipse 10. Built in the 1930s before the factory in Birmingham was bombed in WW2 and Windsor went out of business. Sounds good in the lower register but terrible after the 5th fret! Mix of gut and steel strings originally and a unique tunnel for the 5th string www.zither-banjo.org.uk/pages/windsornew.htm

It's not the banjo I'd choose to have but then we don't choose our family either do we?

I’m always happy when
I’m holding 
This banjo
It’s not because I can 
Play any tunes 
That you know

The body’s out of shape
It barely resonates
The neck is far too long
Ugly and cumbersome
The wood is cheap
The joints are weak

But all of this
It matters
Not one bit
Because…

I’m always happy when
I’m holding 
This banjo
It’s not because I can 
Play any tunes 
That you know


The sound is high and thin
A cat on helium
The fretboard’s lost its shine
Beneath the years of grime
The strings are worn
The heads don’t turn

But all of this
It matters
Not one bit
Because…

It’s just a feeling that I get
Like a baby, like a pet
When I hold it in my arms
Life can do no harm
My lucky charm…

I’ve found a melody
That you can sing with me
These words together lets
Produce a sweet duet
Now let’s begin, I’ll count you in
One, two, three, four

Samhain
The púca
Of all the ghosts and fairies abroad on Halloween, the púca (or pooka) was the most feared and October 31st was known as Púca Night in parts of Ireland. The púca, meaning 'goblin', can be malevolent or benevolent and is not solely associated with Halloween. It's a mythological fairy and the ultimate shapeshifter, capable of appearing in a variety of forms but most commonly as a dark horse or part dog.

Spring Solstice


Winter Solstice 
The Winter Solstice is an astronomical phenomenon that marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice occurs on 21 or 22 December, when the sun shines directly over the tropic of Capricorn. At sunrise on the shortest day of the year, for 17 minutes, direct sunlight can enter the Newgrange monument, not through the doorway, but through the specially contrived small opening above the entrance known as the ‘roof box’, to illuminate the Chamber.

Welcome, welcome
From out of mud in lakes
Were you resting there?

"Nothing stands out yet", you said
As you looked over your shoulder
Broad and rounded, square and hunched
I thought I heard you say, "We are water
And over time we solidify"

Mild to touch, not yet winter
snow drop dropping still

November, can I surrender to your dying
Are you truly dying or surrendering



Is it not enough to be ALIVE, autumn 
As birds migrate thousands of miles, autumn
Of an inner stirring and outward knowing

Is BE-ING

As summer turns, it turns
To autumn, autumn
The slugs and worms live at the root; 
The slugs eat the juice of carrot
Is it good for their EyEs too...?

I buried a 'th' in the soil
With vowels and nettles
And I, this eyE, aye, oh
This What...?

Sor rows, lay them
Deep ee eep
To become worms
for the birds to eat
