My friends in Igloo Hearts had a songwriting prompt in their blog. Write a song about something someone said to you… a good opportunity for something deep and meaningful, but au contraire….
Well I’ve had lots of things said to me, profound, flippant, deep, welcome, unwelcome, but this one has stuck for nearly half a century.
A school friend was at home pottering about. Unbeknown to him, his zipper was undone on his kecks. He only found out when his dad sidled up to him.
“Stephen,” he whispered
“Yeah?”
“Have you ever seen a dead budgie fall out of its cage?”, he muttered, and wandered off.
It took a good five minutes to twig.
I remember this being recounted, vividly. It has become my favourite euphemism; it’s up there with “What’s up, Sooty? (That’s for another day)
Didn’t think I’d ever get it into a song. Same day of the brief, I wrote this in about ten minutes whilst in bed, as a spoken word piece, by lunchtime the next day it had music.
The only way I can describe it is that it’s the musical equivalent of those dreams where you find yourself naked on public transport…..


The Day My Dead Budgie Fell Out Of Its Cage

Hold On Carolina

"Bedrotting" is a slow-burning dive into the quiet chaos of mental illness — a soundtrack for the days when getting out of bed feels impossible. Blending soft, distant vocals with ambient textures, reversed whispers, and grungy indie undertones, this track captures the numb, heavy stillness of being stuck in your own head.

Made for the late nights, the blurry mornings, and everything in between.

Another remix in medieval style. Enjoy. A.V.A.

ON THE ROAD

I know now that you won’t come back,
It's time for me to get my life on track.
Don't be surprised if I don’t wait for you,
Why should I stay? I know we’re through.

I’m on the edge of the road, ready to take the way,
To carve my future, find my destiny today.
No more doubts, I’ll follow every road I find,
That takes me far away from sorrow in my mind.

Time makes us think our memories will fade,
That we just need to stop thinking to have them erased.
We marry, make friends, find a brand-new start,
But the smallest thing brings us back to the heart.

I’m on the edge of the road, ready to take the way,
To carve my future, find my destiny today.
No more doubts, I’ll follow every road I find,
That takes me far away, leaving the past behind.

Wherever I go, I can't erase your trace,
In my life, in my heart, in my soul's embrace.
Wherever I go, your face is always near,
Let me live my life, away from you, my dear.

I'm on the road, and I'll find my own way,
Far from the shadows, far from yesterday.
Let me be free, let me live my own day,
On the road, I'm moving far away.

Sur la route

Salut
Je m'enregistre dans mon salon sur une focusrite à une entrée (j'enregistre d'abord la guitare puis ensuite la voix que je double parfois) le tout branché à un vieux PC de 2009 qui manque cruellement de capacité. Ma guitare à 50 ans, mon père me l'a offerte pour mes 10 ans . Elle s'est détériorée plusieurs fois et je l'ai réparée autant de fois. J'ai du temps maintenant alors je compose, je joue et je chante. Bienvenue

Hello

I record myself in my living room on a single-input Focusrite (I record the guitar first, then the vocals, which I sometimes overdub), all connected to an old 2009 PC that's seriously lacking in capacity. My guitar is 50 years old; my father gave it to me for my 10th birthday. It's broken down several times, and I've repaired it just as many times. I have time now, so I compose, play, and sing. Welcome.
