Happy And You Know It

Wheels On The Bus ft. Haley Meijer

It's a Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

IT’S A BLUE SKY DON’T HOLD NO RAIN
And I’ll try and try and try and try to get to you
And I’ll try and try and try and try again
And I’ll try and try and try and try to get to you
And I’ll try and try and try and try forever
Forever

We came across some bones of men
Scattered in the rust
So many good souls turned to dust
Within their shattered husks
And these people had worn jewels
And their heads had been held high
Speckled foreheads touched the sky
Behold the sparkling in their eyes

Don’t you know it’s a blue sky don’t hold no rain
Don’t hold your love in vain
Cos we’ve still got some loving to do

Some time ago the white man came
Bringing Bible books and swords
Bound them up in twining cords
In the name of their great Lord
They slew down the Aztecs
Inca, Ebu, Maasai
Now we hide in concrete lies
To my Mammon side I cry

What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can’t we nestle in her
Warm aching bosom?
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah

Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain, rain, rain, rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain, rain, rain, rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again

Don’t you know it’s a blue sky don’t hold no rain
Don’t hold your love in vain
Cos we’ve still got some loving left to do

Now the world’s a spinning ball
Two thirds with none to eat
While we chew our scrawny meat
Can you hear those big bells beat?

What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can’t we nestle in her
Warm aching bosom?
Aah aah aah aah aah aah aah aah

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

Brian is the Director of Creation Instruction Association. He has been speaking on the topic of Creation and Biblical Authority for over 26 years. He is a nationally known speaker and author and also heads up the Semisaurus Mobile Creation Museum.

Folky songs about sadnesses and joys, creating semi-mythic landscapes/narratives, redolent with emotions and 'issues' - environment/place, love, wonderment. 

We need some decent eco-protest songs to  lament  the undoing of our beautiful home biosphere and other injustices.  I am always keen on synergies, collaborations, tangents, chances:- so get in touch. I am Professor of Environmental Humanities at Bath Spa University UK in my 'day world'.   All stuff on here are very rough 'working documents', sometimes put up to share for joint working etc. Fair copies of songs are on Bandcamp site. See link. I am also programmer for Priston Festival.  http://www.priston.org.uk/festival/ and sort of part of the wonderful Bristol based Fantasy Orchestra https://www.fantasyorchestra.org/
