WAITING FOR THE RAIN

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill

The hidden lines and lives
Walk their natural time above the plain
From hill fort to the bunkers underground 
The hill can quicken up your pulse
Standing on Dryhill
You can taste it on your breath
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain 
Waiting for the rain

Aeons old and yesterday
In a scintillation (Standing on Dryhill)
A breathless moment under 
The curious twinkling stars (Standing on Dryhill)
The water moves beneath us
It moves below the ice

(below, be-low)

A long-gone, summer swift scream
The hill is not dry
The vines do not wither
Rippling the waters of our many lives
The heart of the hill 
Beats on
Pushing the sleeping rabbit to awake and run (run, run, run)
Seize the seasons
Hang the reasons
In a thousand years the hill will not remember us or its many names…
Our heads boiled, eaten down to the white bone

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
Standing on Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain

Standing on Dryhill…

This was a track that never saw the light of day.  Furball was a band I was part of, in the mid nineties.  We only lasted about 15 months.  I played the guitar (badly!)

Note: For my friends on Sound Cloud who don't speak any french the word phoque (pronounced phuck) in french means a seal. Hence the title of the song in english would be The Blues of A Seal In Alaska. It's the story of a seal in Alaska whose girlfriend leaves him go perform in a circus in the United States and he's got The Blues

This is my version of the classic québécois song originally written by Michel Rivard. The english equivalent when "feelings" are concerned would be a combination of Summertime and House of The Rising Sun as far as immortal songs are concerned.

C'est ma version de la chanson classique québécoise écrit par Michel Rivard. L'équivalent anglais comme "feeling" serait un combination de Summertime et The House of The Rising Sun en ce qui concerne des chansons immortelles.

The challenge continues:

The track is provided without the vocals and downloadable.  If you are interested pull a copy and go to town. 

If you need a mixing engineer will be happy to assist getting your work blended into the track. Mastering same deal.  If you want some new blood, just look through the comments section on the original and you can find a slew of talented engineers.  Or you can do it yourself.  :)

I have left the track with enough headroom to be bashed into a compressor or limiter a few times if needed.

Tom Petty once said..."That music is the only form of magic, I know of".  I agree whole heartedly. 

So lets make some!!  

If you take the challenge stop by on the original and drop a link in the comments section to your posted work

Peace and love my brothers and sisters

Very proud to present this collab with the very talented Elle (@cycleofhands) !!!

We've certainly taken our time to get the track right, having started this project about a year ago, but Elle's lyrics about lovers in a dystopian setting are amazing, and such is her voice, perfectly fitting the melancholic vibe in the music. On top of that, she added some really cool musical elements (like that awesome guitar) that really upgraded the song. I am very happy to be able to release it now.

Thank you all for listening, and please visit @cycleofhands for more amazing work <3

lyrics:

Underneath it all
Behind the brick and mortar tall
Slowly becoming barren like the fall
Trees that wish to stalll
The distance from the sun the Earth revolves
Spring time rebirth is far
And they're putting on the final straw

People watching revert to simple awe
As so many lines start becoming crossed
Power through crimes whats the cost
Of an entire world bound and lost
Warming up but still crowned in frost
Made hostage by the hostile law
The coverage is constant like a coke withdrawal
Never budging like a water soaked log
We need a fire but all we got is smoke like fog
That obscures our view of hope till its gone

Try
Try to smile for me
Lets pretend we are free
Right Here
While we’re Wrapped in each others arms
We know we are safe from harm

Please turn off the radio
When its on your eyes lose their glow
Those voices speak poison don't you know
They’ve chosen to keep us dull and low
Stay poised and don’t let you mind go
To where it naturally wants to the most
Keep your cards close

To your chest
And never tell the rest
Keep your secrets buried deep within your breath
People can be trusted less and less
This is all for your best interest
I can already tell when your thoughts want to burst from your head

I know it hurts but think of our past blessings instead
Remember when I met you back in summer of 07?
As soon as I saw you I knew within just a couple of seconds
That you were someone who was homesick for heaven

It was a bit of a miracle you even talked to me
I was never social my thoughts never Let me be free
But you fought through my walls so playfully
Your kiss must have worked like an open sesame
You showed me a whole world anew a little like Disney
It’s a little cheesy and thinking of it has me dizzy
Your love has always made me sick like a disease
Butterflies from you make a hurricane erupt in me

I was hoping this day would never come
But I think it was time to grab our things and run
I’d rather die than see you under a gun
Being forced to give in and succumb
To these wicked men or whatever they have become

I no longer see any trace of love in their eyes
They despise anything that looks like life
Reflecting off of the sheen of their knives
If we leave now there is cover under disguise of night
It’s fight or flight and we both know what is right

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!
