Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

I am deeply reminded that our life's journey is a gift,not a given,and that we can never truly know how long the journey will last.All we can do is decide how it unfolds....Peace Everyone

Still Searching

A little meditation drone recorded for the kind folks at The Hill Valley Headshop.
Pressed the record button 8 different times for 10 minutes, then mixed it down. I enjoy the result and relax my mind to it often. Give it a whirl via headphones.   Enjoy ~

This was written at a time when regular folks were being asked to tighten their belts by the rich politicians, and wait longer and longer to retire. Then along came COVID-19....so maybe when the world recovers the "workin til 100" line may not be an exaggeration.

Grab and Plunder Blues      copyright Okunbor & Phillips 2019

They told us, we could have it all; the money, mansions and the time.
Some good years, we couldn't see the fall; they robbed us blind with a smile.
Moanin', rollin' workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.
Ooh, I’m talkin’

Steering broken down motors; no way to fund a drivin’ wheel.
Finding the rent is a killer; nothin’ in the kitty for a meal.
Moanin', rollin', workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin' the work'll never stop, talkin' bout the grab and plunder blues.

Ooh, hear me howling.
Aah hear me moaning.

Waiting for the pension ‘til a hundred; payment with a letter from the Queen.
Days of entitlement are over, except for politicians on a scheme.
Moanin', rollin' an workin' 'til the drop, tight belt is turning to a noose.
Moanin', the work'll never stop, I feel I’ve got the grab and plunder blues.

Lord, hear me howling, tight belt turning to a noose.
Oh, hear me moanin’,
Moanin’ bout the grab and plunder blues.

Hi folks!  I am a tender youth ..age 76…! …been playing since i was 15 years old...love all kinds of music from jazz and classical to pop and rock..as long as it is music with love and soul i don´t care...
Played in a few bands , for a while semi-professional and also played a lot alone,  in the streets in Europe and Canada and as entertainer in pubs, clubs, social gatherings etc. Know a lot of songs! 

 Now retired i have taken as my special niche to interprete ( note, not cover! ) songs from all genres and giving them new dress and soul and hopefully injecting them with new life...  and now and then i sneak in a song of my own...
It´s become quite successful!  i am on Facebook, Youtube, Fandalism and here on SC... my Fandalism songs soon number 500 songs and they have been viewed/listened to by over 2 million people/times !   Far beyond my imagination!   I have no commercial interests or dreams ..just do it for fun and my own satisfaction and to communicate with people all over the world is stimulating!

My main instrument is guitar, the last 10 years i have concentrated on acoustic guitar, fingerpicking, slide etc. I try a lot of open tunings and also experiment in sounds and styles.. but my other main instrument is my voice, been a singer all my life , try a lot of harmony singing and arranging that ....arranging and mixing mainly in Cubase...
The last years i have started doing collabs with musical friends too, people from Brazil, USA,France and Sweden so far..very stimulating and interesting...
 
Keep swinging!

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
