Dharma Blues

Inspired by the opening verses of Chapter 10 of the Lotus Sūtra, "Dharma Blues" is my personal take on a truth that has resonated deeply. It's a song born from the recognition that suffering and joy are not separate, and that even in a world filled with strife, the "eyes of the Buddha" can show us the way to peace. With a sound that recalls the classic folk and blues artists I've always loved, this is a song for anyone on their own path to awakening.

Lyrics: 

Verse 1
Woke up this mornin’, sun hangin’ high,
Old trouble still driftin’, cloudin’ my eye.
Thought this world was only hurt and fight,
Till the Dharma whispered a deeper light:
“Look a little closer, hear what I say—
Equality and difference will guide your way.”

Chorus
Oh, the Buddha’s eyes see clear and true,
Through joy and sorrow, through me and you.
The world keeps turnin’, but my vision can,
From a restless drifter to a peaceful man.
I’ll keep this sutra close, steady in my hand,
Offerings of heart for this promised land.

Harmonica break
(low, train-whistle bends—hope rising through blue haze)

Verse 2
I once saw mountains and valleys divide,
Thought every soul had a place to hide.
But the same wind sings through every green tree,
The same sun’s shinin’ on you and on me.
Each of us carries a heavy old load,
Yet we walk one ground on the same long road.

Chorus (repeat)

Verse 3
This world’s a burning house, fire in the beams,
Desires climbing like half-woken dreams.
But Medicine King showed the cure inside:
A joy unbroken, a truth that abides.
Unlock that wisdom, let illusions fall—
No place to run, yet no need at all.

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge
It ain’t gold or silver you set on the shrine,
But time and mercy, a heart aligned.
So I’ll honor the keepers who bear this flame,
Bow my head softly, praise their name.

Final Chorus / Outro
Oh, the Buddha’s eyes see clear and true…
(last line lingers)
Offerings of heart—that’s what I bring,
Let the truth of the Dharma make my spirit sing.
Harmonica fades like a night train gone,
Leaving quiet dawn to carry the song.

[Verse] 
Amour qui brûle
Qui danse 
Qui flambe 
Dans le silence 
Où tout s’embrase 
Un feu fragile 
Une douce flamme 
Un éclat d’ombre 
Une douce extase

[Chorus] 
Que cet amour 
Oh cet amour 
Qui vole haut 
Qui fend les jours 
Un cri 
Un souffle 
Une vérité 
Près de la divinité 

[Verse 2] 
Il court sans chaînes 
Il rêve sans peur 
Les cieux le guident 
La nuit l’appelle 
Un vent qui siffle 
Un parfum de fleurs 
Un mystère doux 
Une étincelle 

[Chorus] 
Que cet amour 
Oh cet amour 
Qui vole haut 
Qui fend les jours 
Un cri 
Un souffle 
Une vérité 
Près de la divinité 

[Bridge] 
Et si le ciel tombait sur nos têtes 
Et si le temps cessait ses pas 
L’amour persiste 
L’amour s’entête 
Il est tout ce que l’on a 

[Chorus] 
Que cet amour 
Oh cet amour 
Qui vole haut 
Qui fend les jours 
Un cri 
Un souffle 
Une vérité 
Près de la divinité

Those born elected to read, the I'll do anything personalities, convinced their ways are the best, based on ideology. 
But when someone questions them, they balk and they scorn, they have too much on their plates to listen to any of your concerns.

Too Much On Your Plate

She's tired of the passive
tired of the static
gonna light the match
that turns into ashes
she's playing with fire.

And it was implicit that she loved me.

Adam Walton ‘Afal’ single release
Friday 26th September 2025
Whipcord Records

‘Afal’ is a brand new recording from north Wales songwriter Adam Walton.

‘Afal’ embraces the melancholy and colours of Autumn. It’s a flashback to annual late September foraging behind The Sportsmans Arms on the Denbigh Moors (Mynydd Hiraethog) when I was a teenager, lying on our backs and falling into the sky.

I broke down up there once, in the late 90’s or early 00’s, on the way to a Gruff Rhys gig. No signal on my clamshell mobile phone. I walked to the only habitation I could see… an isolated cottage defying the heather, to call the AA as night fell hard.

The skies up there are bigger and darker than most places, and while I waited for the AA van to arrive, orbs of light span and wheeled above me… eerie and beautiful.

I’ve never know what they were. 

This single has no connection to my previous album of the same name.

‘Afal’ is the Welsh word for ‘apple’. I munched through 12 of them recording the rhythm track. A doff of the cap to McCartney’s contribution to The Beach Boys’ ‘Vegetables’. I haven’t been able to eat another apple since.

‘Afal’ is on my new album ‘Burmo’ which I’m releasing on the 14th November on Whipcord Records.

‘The Silent Strings’ isn’t on the album. It’s a standalone b-side because I love standalone b-sides.

‘Afal’ - written, played and recorded by Adam Walton (published by Copyright Control).

Walk On Easy

Walk On Easy is a warm, blues-folk song about traveling light in a world that’s all connected. Inspired by the Lotus Sūtra’s teaching of peaceful conduct, it tells a simple story: no gate to guard, no crown to wear—just one wide river of life where everyone belongs. With finger-picked guitar, gentle harmonica, and a slow front-porch groove, this tune invites listeners of all ages to let go of heavy labels, trust the flow, and walk free.


Lyrics: 
[Verse 1]
No gate to guard, no heavy crown,
just a road that rolls on down.
Names and labels fade away,
like chalk in the rain at the end of the day.

[Chorus]
Walk on easy, light and free,
nothing to prove, just let it be.
The world’s one river, wide and deep,
moves and sings while we all keep beat.

[Verse 2]
No road higher, no road low,
just one path where all can go.
Pride’s a kite that’s lost its string,
truth don’t need a fancy wing.

[Chorus]
Walk on easy, light and free,
nothing to prove, just let it be.
The world’s one river, wide and deep,
moves and sings while we all keep beat.

[Verse 3]
Not all real, not all pretend,
beginnings meet where endings bend.
No man, no woman set apart,
we’re all bright sparks of the same big heart.

[Bridge – Harmonica or Slide Guitar]
(Soft, hopeful notes like a friend’s kind call.)

[Verse 4]
Don’t grab tight, don’t need to know,
let the gentle mystery flow.
Kindness grows where fear won’t stay,
love lights up the wandering way.

[Final Chorus – Repeat & Fade]
Walk on easy, light and free,
nothing to prove, just let it be.
The world’s one river, wide and deep,
moves and sings while we all keep beat.

King of Chains

Lyrics

You're walkin' on those floors
Bones beneath your feet
Walkin' through those doors
Out into the street
Don't know where you're going
Don’t know where you’ve been
The river keeps on flowin'
Like nothin' you ever seen
So throw away what doesn’t work
Take a bite of pain
You ain’t the only one to smirk
When you cut those chains

The bones are dancin' now
You’ve stirred up all the dirt
The jester takes a bow
With blood stains on your shirt
The clown is looking down at you
The king he lies again
The preacher kneels on the pew
The poet takes the pen
So throw away what doesn’t work
Take a bite of pain
You ain’t the only one to smirk
When you cut those chains

Harp solo

You’ve finished walkin' now
The bones are all at rest
You’ve sworn to take the vow
You passed another test
The jester has a frown
Upon his wrinkled face
The poet, king and clown
Standin' in one place
So throw away what doesn’t work
Take a bite of pain
You ain’t the only one to smirk
When you cut those chains

Harp solo out

King of Chains - original song written, composed, performed and recorded by Eric Nash (StrayHorse)

Bodhi Tree Blues is a slow-shuffle folk-blues hymn born from the Lotus Sūtra’s Chapter 17 promise of immediate awakening.

A warm finger-picked guitar and mournful harmonica set the groove, while a gospel-style choir lifts the chorus like a sunrise.

The song celebrates the truth that every breath and every step are sacred—each of us already seated under the Bodhi tree, each moment a living stūpa of awakening.

It’s porch-front blues for a world of conflict, inviting everyone to sit down, breathe, and discover that enlightenment is here and now.

⸻

Lyrics: 
(Slow shuffle in A minor, 12/8 feel—think Mississippi John Hurt meets early Dylan)

[Verse 1]
In a world of dust and trouble,
where the night feels long and cold,
the Buddha’s voice keeps rollin’—
sayin’ your heart’s already whole.
No need to chase a far-off dawn,
the timeless sun’s inside.
Right where you stand is holy ground,
you can’t run and you can’t hide.

[Chorus]
Sit down under your Bodhi tree,
it’s been waitin’ all along.
Every breath’s a living stūpa,
every heartbeat sings the song.
No kalpas of weary wanderin’,
no future life to buy—
the Dharma blooms this very day,
beneath your Texas sky.

[Verse 2]
They said merit needs a thousand lives,
a million gifts to sow.
But one clear chant, one faithful heart,
is all you need to know.
The cause and fruit are one bright spark,
like lightning through the rain;
read, recite, embrace the truth—
you’re free of birth and chain.

[Chorus]
Sit down under your Bodhi tree,
it’s been waitin’ all along.
Every breath’s a living stūpa,
every heartbeat sings the song.
No kalpas of weary wanderin’,
no future life to buy—
the Dharma blooms this very day,
beneath your Texas sky.

[Bridge]
Persecution’s gonna holler,
like a black dog at your door.
But the harder that wind is blowin’,
the more your roots will soar.
Ajita stands beside you,
future Buddha by your side;
this world of conflict’s temple ground—
let the fearless vow be your guide.

[Final Chorus – soft then rising]
Sit down under your Bodhi tree,
it’s been waitin’ all along.
Every breath’s a living stūpa,
every heartbeat sings the song.
No kalpas of weary wanderin’,
no future life to buy—
the Buddha walks this very road,
with you beneath the sky.

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

The Immediate are a three-piece indie, power pop band from Mold in north Wales.

We release our Mold EP on Friday 3rd March 2017. The EP will be available to buy on limited edition CD and digitally via bandcamp / iTunes etc.

Mold features 4 brand new recordings, 3 of which are exclusive to the EP.

Lead track, What’s The Matter Kevin Jones?, is a song about some of the kids we went to the Alun School with, who weren’t as fortunate as us and didn’t make it into their 30’s. 

Light Dimensions is the first song we wrote when we reconvened after a long hiatus.

Manbuoy is the title track of our forthcoming debut album, however it does not feature on the album itself. It’s a mostly spoken-word piece that exaggerates all of its writer’s worst qualities.

Mold was recorded at Orange Sound Studios in Penmaenmawr, North Wales by Russ Hayes, who has worked on recordings by Peaness, Campfire Social, Kidsmoke, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Billy Bibby and the Wry Smiles.

The sleeve design was done by Paul Maurice from Wrexham. It’s a detail of Shire Hall, the brutalist former seat of Flintshire County Council that sits on a hill, above Mold town centre.

The Mold EP will be launched at a hometown gig at Theatr Clwyd, Mold on Friday, 3rd. March. We’ll be joined by our friends Campfire Social and Skellums. Tickets are £7 and available here:

https://www.theatrclwyd.com/en/whats-on/headliner-rock-night/

Mold EP tracklisting (r/d 3rd March 2017):

1.	What’s The Matter Kevin Jones?
2.	Light Dimensions
3.	Tremble

There is a YouTube video telling the story of the band so far, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtERsE3ihDg

We originally split in 1997 due to frustration, an argument over a mouth organ and the success of Stereophonics.

We released one single (unaccountably popular in Sweden), made every conceivable mistake in the How To Be A Successful Indie Band handbook, toured with some excellent bands (Mansun, 60ft Dolls, Dodgy) and flickered out, leaving behind the memory of some great gigs, a few fine songs, and little else.

In March 2016, we reconvened to repair friendships and renew tinnitus. New songs came much more easily than the old ones, probably because we are playing to please only ourselves - with no thoughts of success or acclaim - for the first time in our existence.

There is more truth and resonance in our songs now than ever before. And power. And invention. We write songs about hope and love in the face of the moribund, daily grind. 

You will possibly hear fragments and echoes of the following artists in our sound (The Jam, Wire, XTC, Pixies, Badfinger, REM, Dr Feelgood, Small Faces, Husker Du, The Who, Ride, Big Star, The Cure, Joy Formidable, The Go-Betweens, Teenage Fanclub), but nothing has been plagiarised or misappropriated to mask a deficiency of our own ideas.

Basement recording artist, bedroom songwriter, bathroom singer, multi-instrumentalist. Folk, blues, alternative, rock, indie and anything that grooves.

Liquid Terrain is the work of musician and visual artist Tim Wolf. He describes his work as liquid terrains: fluid landscapes. He has studied Indian classical music, practiced disciplines of improvisation, and worked as an audio engineer and music and live performance producer. Formerly a saxophonist and vocalist, he now performs on several traditional African and digital instruments. Other recordings and visual work can be seen at http://www.liquidterrain.com . Some music is available for download and streaming at https://liquidterrain.bandcamp.com .
