Fantastic apocalyptic poetry from Bob Dylan's second album the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Just Bob and an acoustic guitar in 3/4 time. Atypical of me, my rendition is in the original key of D, using the drop D tuning. Vocal and guitar recorded live, one track and one take. This epic song packs a powerful punch!

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

A collaboration with Kevin Connelly in the USA, Kevin provided the lyrics, and I set them to music. For FAWM 2024

Don't Play House with my Heart (without drums) lyrics by Kevin Connelly

We are pleased to present Ten Thousand Tiny Fingers, a Music Network commission by Bróna McVittie for our February 2024 Tour. Bróna wanted to create something in memoriam of all the innocent civilians killed in the Israel-Gaza conflict, particularly the children. The song is also born of her own experience of conflict growing up in a segregated society during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Speaking to Bróna about the commission, she said the song was born of her own experience of conflict growing up in a segregated society.

The track was recorded at Station House Theatre, Clifden, Co. Galway on 6 February 2024. 
Performed by Niamh Dunne, Bróna McVittie, Cormac Breatnach & Seán Óg Graham and recorded by Donnacha Moynihan.

Lyrics
I Feel You

V1
looking at the indigo sky
watching fireflies go by
their lights ignite
sweet memories…
memories of you

feeling warmth of a summer breeze
hearing wind sing in willow trees
their leaves dance and
softly whisper…
whisper your name

PC1
but it will never be the same ….

C
in all that I see
in all that I hear
I feel you still with me
I feel your love near…

in all that I think
in all that I do
I feel you in my heart
I feel love so true …

in all…
I feel you…

V2
thinking about nights last July
seeing the moonlight in your eyes
their solace brought
heartfelt wonder…
wonder to me

doing the best I could do
saying final good byes to you
your last words dwell
deeply within…
within my soul..

PC2
your love keeps my heart full

C
in all that I see
in all that I hear
I feel you still with me
I feel your love near…

in all that I think
in all that I do
I feel you in my heart
I feel love so true …

in all I feel you…

B
while life doesn’t last forever
love never ends
I will always love you…

PC3
my soulmate, my friend …

C
in all that I see
in all that I hear
I feel you still with me
I feel your love near…

in all that I think
in all that I do
I feel you in my heart
I feel love so true …

in all I feel you…

This is a cover of a song by the incomparable Joanna Sternberg, from their 2021 album "Then I Try Some More". Music & lyrics by Joanna Sternberg.

Vocals here by Morgan Armstrong.
Guitar by Kit Bland.

This is Not Who I Want to Be (acoustic mix)

Dear Soul,

Love doesn’t have to all make sense, or even make sense at all. It’s love! Let it be… love.

Perhaps it’s time to get out of your head and into your heart. What would happen if you followed your heart for a change? Sure it could end up hurting you, but you’re hurting anyway. And what if it hurts and it’s worth it? 

Maybe if you let love lead, it would take you places you can’t even imagine, because you’ll be a different kind of person. You’ll be guided more by love than by logic.

Be magical dear soul and let love work its magic on you. 

Love, Yourself.

אך טוב וחסד - פנימה

"McKail Seely is a soulful Folk/Rock indie artist & songwriter originally from Salt Lake City, Utah." -- www.mckailseely.com

This track is an original song by McKail Seely, one of Warren Huart's favorite singer/songwriters.  Warren used this track to showcase the beautiful 'New Twenties' microphone by Tierra Audio.  Warren says, "It isn’t very often that I come across a microphone or piece of hardware and it really transforms me emotionally. The New Twenties by the small, Spanish company, Tierra Audio has actually done it.  The last time an acoustic guitar sounded this good was when I was using the KM65 or KM53 that you can pick up for the price of a small car."  Listening to McKail's beautiful voice and the warmth of her guitar, it's easy to see why Warren was smitten.

Mixed by Chris McKinley.
