CLAUDIO - UNTIL IT´S TIME FOR YOU TO GO

I wanted to do a Rod Stewart circa-1972 style song, so I did, and it was relaxed and fun. It hangs together better than I thought it would, but I found singing like Rod Stewart near-impossible, and it's a near-unlistenable rasp. Cover photo by Hugh Nankivell of an art installation in Bristol by Bruce Munro's studio. I'd had the title Blue Flamingo going round my head since I was sent the pic, and I made it a café, for a fairly straightforward story of frustrated intention to reveal admiration for someone.

It was a wet and dirty day 
Outside the Blue Flamingo Café 
But you could make out Maggie Mae 
Playing on the jukebox. 

But you couldn't see in though
They were wiping the windows 
Like watercolour paintings. 
I only stepped inside to stay until the ran stopped.

Then you walked in the place 
And gave you a coat a shake. 
I'd not known you were in town. 

You floated in with such grace, 
The wetness on your face 
Glistening as you looked around.
Listened as you looked around.

It was my biggest chance that day
Inside the blue flamingo café 
To steal myself and say 
How I adore you.

Just to come right out and 
Leave aside my doubts 
And let you hear it from my mouth, and
Trip right over my words and throw myself before you.

But wait – was he with you? 
Yes he'd be coming too. 
I said, 'Isn't that good news?'

I guess I should have known 
My only chance was blown.
But that won't change how I think though, about you.
That won't change a pink into a blue.

CLAUDIO - LOVE ME LOVE THE LIFE I LEAD

Give it to me (1972) Prod by Arthur Verocai & Timbaland

Ridiculously under-publicised due to lack of effort on his part, and criminally under-listened to due to lack of effort on everybody else's part, Boy:48 is an Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 graphic designer and married father of two who likes to write, make, record, produce and publish music when he can. His SoundCloud page has over 250 tracks on it, dating from ancient lo-fi tape demos from 1988, to regular releases as they are finished, at the rate of one or two a month. Thirteenth collection of demo's, 'Scatterling', released in December 2015, followed by double-collection Matryoshka (late 2017) and Krokodyl (early 2018). There followed a period of fulsome activity resulting in the OZALID and Dream, Daedalus albums, and while beginning his Sleepshow collection, lockdown struck and he walloped 26 tracks in just 6 months - one a week, resulting in much slapdash work. 2021 saw a return to normal with the completion of Sleepshow in March, and Ink Traps in December. 2022 saw his collection FASH completed, and its follow-up, DWAM, was completed in the second half of 2023. 2024 has served up seventeen new tracks, which are bundled in the collection, Charivari, which was released January 2025. Be advised that all the stuff is demo's - that means they are there to showcase, or give an impression of, what a piece could sound like. But they've not been done by professionals, nor in ideal recording conditions, so all sorts of qualities, details, dynamics etc. will not be the best possible. So think of them as worked-up sketches, rather than studio-made productions. All of them are AMDG - Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam: To the Greater Glory of God.
