Silent, Is Unfound

A house that’s on the hill
The lights off
The halls still
Have you long
Have you long gone
The floors there are worn from my year
Roaming wild, I was so untamed
But, in you, I found a love
That I never named

Wish these words were spoken
Wish my voice a strength so profound
In turn of phrase where beauty is broken
And my love
Silent it is unfound

There is a house that is on the hill
The lights are off
The halls they are still
Somehow I know
You have long gone
Still, at night, don’t I drive
Just to slow
I slow past your lane.
Are you somewhere
Tracing the letters
Of my name

Wish these words were spoken
Wish my voice a strength so profound
A turn of phrase and beauty is broken
And my love
Silent it is unfound

LINER NOTES:
The guitar and vocals for Silent is Unfound were originally recorded in Paris with Julian Delsol. However, Covid shut down the world, and kept me in Buffalo for a time. So, no second trip to finish in studio with Julian. That was heartbreaking. But, having a bit of time, I decided to rework the piece into the fuller sound that had been in my mind during the initial writing. This process entailed trying to learn how to compose for strings, and rerecording some vocals in my car. Keven Urso offered to assist with additional recordings and the final mix. This was a difficult process made harder by having three separate locations where vocals and guitar were recorded. My thanks to Kevin for his advice, helping me better understand what recording practices best assist the mixing and mastering process. Of course, Oli Morgan at Abbey Road did his usual outstanding job of pulling all the pieces together seamlessly.

This podcast concerns an appeal by Richard Hughes against a previous High Court judgment. The original case involved Hughes' claims of malicious prosecution and misfeasance in public office against His Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), stemming from charges of conspiracy to cheat the Revenue, which were dismissed in 2017. The High Court had ruled against Hughes, finding he had no real prospect of success and deeming the assignment of rights from two companies to Hughes invalid. This appeal challenges that ruling, specifically focusing on whether the CPS had reasonable cause to prosecute and whether their motives were influenced by HMRC, as well as the claim for misfeasance in a public office against both HMRC and the CPS. The Court of Appeal ultimately dismissed the appeal, upholding the High Court's decision that Hughes had no real prospect of proving his claims. They found no error in the High Court's analysis regarding reasonable cause, malice, or misfeasance, and therefore saw no need to examine the validity of the assignments.

Corrupt Family Courts & CPS The inherent systematic and institutional dangers

System Snatched

(Verse 1)
Yo, they came in hot, like a storm, no warn,
CPS rollin’ up, like I’m livin' in a horror,
Takin’ my shit, like they own the block,
Got me feelin’ lost, man, I’m just a kid on lock.

(Chorus)
System snatched, I’m trapped, no way to react,
Bitches flexin', but I’m ballin' hard, that’s a fact,
People schemin', dreamin’, but I’m fightin’ back,
Ain’t no way in hell I’m lettin’ this attack.

(Verse 2)
In the foster home, feelin’ like a pawn,
Every night I’m writin’ rhymes till the break of dawn,
Thugs in my head, got my spirit on blast,
But I’m built for this fight, so I’ll never come last.

(Chorus)
System snatched, I’m trapped, no way to react,
Bitches flexin', but I’m ballin' hard, that’s a fact,
People schemin', dreamin’, but I’m fightin’ back,
Ain’t no way in hell I’m lettin’ this attack.

(Bridge)
Ain’t no fairy tale, this ain’t no sweet escape,
Life’s a harsh lesson, can’t let it reshape,
I’m a warrior, bitches, livin' bold and brash,
In this crazy life, I’ll always make a splash.

(Verse 3)
Grew up quick in this system, stayin' streetwise,
Got my eyes on the prize, no disguise,
I’m a fighter, a survivor, never backin’ down,
Watch me rise like a king, wearin’ the crown.

(Chorus)
System snatched, I’m trapped, no way to react,
Bitches flexin', but I’m ballin' hard, that’s a fact,
People schemin', dreamin’, but I’m fightin’ back,
Ain’t no way in hell I’m lettin’ this attack.

(Outro)
So hear me out, world, I’m reclaiming my fate,
Ain’t no motherfuckin’ system gonna seal my slate,
I’m a beast on the mic, putin' haters on blast,
CPS took me, but I’m breakin’ free fast.
