The Hills

Don't That Feel Good

Lorde - 400 Lux

Death Waltz

Island of Light
https://youtu.be/Qxs0MkHWNfk

This is the story of Camille Pissarro on the island of St. Thomas.  Pissarro's paintings of the island of light have influenced the history of art, bringing his impressions to France and there contributing to the new movement of impressionism. The changing light of the tropical seas around the birthplace of Camille has played a lasting role in masterpieces such as "Railway Bridge at Pontoise” and "Hay harvest at Eragny-sur-Epte".  

The music for this song has gone through some incarnations before we nailed it with these lyrics. At first we were working on a song about the mythical Irish sailor saint Brendan the navigator. But the musical flow directed us more into tropical Caribbean atmospheres.
We were lucky to have Kellie Rowley sing in the chorus.  Dan played his new Pedal Steel guitar on this, enhancing the Caribbean feel.

Lyrics : 


Painted the harbour
of st Thomas
catching the light
that moves on the sea

from the colour of the dawn
you can tell 
if rain will come.

I'm drawn to set up
cloth & brushes,
Speaking with my
paint

Island of light
Island of light


When I was 11
my father sent me
to Paris
To learn, 
learn from the world
paying his dues
but painting my blues

When I was 16
Came back to St. Thomas
To work in my father's firm
As I was roaming
on the island shore
I took another turn
To Venezuela

island of light
island of light

How to catch
the light I see 
reflected on the waves

from these waters
where colours 
giving us sight right through time

Island of light
(painting the waves)
Island of light
(lifting the hue)
Island of light
(looking through mist)

Island of light (with Kellie Rowley and Dan Lockhart)

If You Got Soul

If you got soul
You gotta roll

When I was a boy
It would be easy for me to try
To believe all the words that were written in the books
By the seers and the gods on high
Sky high
There's a lie in the lie
That they want you to buy
It's a lie that you can't ask why
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky

No soul destroyer's gonna
rock and roll her baby
No state infraction's gonna
Suppress the action now
Insanity attack
Distortion of the fact
Maniacal quack
Dehumanising
An automatic fact
The stick is in the back
Establishments react
Do they see their own writing
On the wall?
Do they see their own writhing
At all?

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

When I was that boy
It would be easier for me to fly
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky
Sky high
It was a child's sweet ignorance
But oh so little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when I was a boy

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

If You Got Soul

2018! Fresh new track. Been holding onto this one for a minute wondering if I should post it. But i feel its fitting for the times.

Down & Blue

Death & Endings

Full Of Yourself

Hallo, I forgot to post this one from the last album...doh!♥ 
(ps. new vinyl album is out on US Label ' Gold Dragon Records' later this year! xx)

Glitterati.
Revolving around yourself, like you’re the centre of the sun.
Offering up a bitter smile, as you sneer at everyone.
Are you ugly on the inside, or is it just the outside that’s broke?
Be careful in those London fumes in case you start to choke.

Glitterati.
You so want to be in the Glitterati.
You’re so damn needy.

You’re so desperate to be famous, you’d surely sell your soul.
Do you dream of fame and riches and pretty cocaine whores?
Are those dreams slowly fading?
Is the self-doubt creeping in?
Your narcissistic patina is slowly wearing thin.
Are you emasculated by girls who play better than you?
You're prowling clouds and stealing sounds, as if nobody would know?
All I can see is ego, in your small, unhappy eyes.
If plagiarism was a sin, then you’d be doing time.
Glitterati.
You so want to be in the Glitterati.
You’re so damn needy.
Glitterati.
Glitterati.
Glitterati.

Requiem

Est-ce un signe
signe de croix
une croix sur qui sur quoi ?

Rires volés en éclats.
Evaporées les larmes à l'œil.
Pétrifiées les lèvres sèches.

Remember my lips are dead
I've nothing to do with love
Promises always break down

Requiem
dernière messe en hommage à nos promesses.
Requiem
dernière messe à la mémoire de nos promesses.

Est-ce ainsi ? Ne
vit que l'effroi
perdue la foi.

Rendu ton dernier sourire
Et perdu ton dernier regard
Pendu ton dernier baiser.

Remember, I'm your forgetfulness
I'm your illusion of death
Promises are falling now.

Requiem
dernière messe en hommage à nos promesses.
Requiem
dernière messe à la mémoire de nos promesses.

Ainsi soit-il
– si je te crois – 
les bras en croix.

Rassis / our hope of tomorrow
Emmurés / our poor cracked hearts (nos pauvres cœurs fissurés)
Putréfiées / our damned souls

Rest in peace / Repose-moi
In a deep sleep / Endors-moi
Push hell's door / Pour en finir

Requiem
dernière messe en hommage à nos promesses.
Requiem
dernière messe à la mémoire de nos promesses.

Enjoy this moody autumnal track from the newly released album "Where Giants Roam The Earth"!

The last couple of weeks have been quite intense. We had an amazing trip to Berlin where I got the chance to perform on the stage of Berlin Philharmonie and meet with many extraordinary pianists from Enlightened Piano Radio. It was a wonderful surprise and a honor to receive "Best Solo Piano" Award for my previous album "Yet Another Love Story". And then, the next morning right after coming back from the trip, Arty and I had an interview with a local newspaper, talking about the new album "Where Giants Roam The Earth".

“Pretty Head” is about the anxiety, depression, and self-doubt many of us feel. Both Bella and I have struggled with this over the past couple years and thought it was important to write about. All good things come with time. <3

Lyrics:
Take a breath, take a step outside
Your pretty head, and all it's little lies

You're not lonely, love, it's just your mind
You're not broken, no, just give it time
Just give it

I know you've been waiting for
Something to begin
Staring at the ceiling, empty as the feeling
Of your skin

You've been scratching at the walls
And trying to break them down
Been digging up the floors
So your feet can find the ground

Hold on tight, you'll be fine
Just give it time

I know you need somewhere to go
Somewhere in-between
Being loved and being lost
Cause it all feels like too much
When you're so damn out of touch

You've been scratching at the walls
And trying to break them down
Been screaming but your lungs
Won't make a single sound

Hold on tight, you'll be fine
Just give it time

Pretty Head (ft. Bella Musser)

Happy 75th Birthday to the shining spark that is Joni Mitchell. This remix of 'Woodstock' is dedicated to The Secret Garden Party (UK) for giving us the most beautiful garden to play in over the years.

I was lucky to play this remix at Mistress Mary and Burning Man this year and Joni's lyrics communicate the magic that I feel when we gather together for all the right reasons.

A quote from Joni Mitchell about the song:
“When I wrote ‘Woodstock,’ two or three times that I first performed it, I had to stop before I would get so caught up in emotion. I guess it was because I didn’t go to Woodstock but I watched it on television and it seemed like an amazing thing to me that under the circumstances, that many people helped each other out, they delivered babies in the wild, they shared their food. There was so much brotherhood. … It really moved me.”

📝 Lyrics:

Dark is the home, and long is the road I walk alone
I see your face, I feel your soul but I'm on my own

I made a promise, I will show to you, how I let you down...

I need you now more than I ever knew I could
I'm fading out,
Come rescue me, I would be stronger if I could
Right now, all I need is you.

All I need is you...

Thoughts passed through to heal my wounds that still remain
And as the pieces of my heart
Scatter in the nothing I wash away

I miss my only chance to say goodbye,
Words never sound profound.

I need you now more than I ever knew I could
I'm fading out,
Come rescue me,
I would be stronger if I could, right now, all I need is you.

I never should have let you go
I'd follow all your footsteps,
I would walk around the world if I could hold you here in my arms,
My love, nothing else will do cause all I need is you

I need you now more than I ever knew I could
I'm fading out,
Come rescue me,
I would be stronger if I could, right now, all I need is you.

All I need is you
All I need is you
All I need is you
All I need is you

Weightlessness, no gravity
Were we somewhere in-between?
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
Oh, highway boys all sleeping in
With their dirty mouths and broken strings
Oh, their eyes are shining like the sea
For you, the queen of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
Cutting through the avenues
I'd always find my way to you
Beside the hook, the hammer lies
Fumbling round in the smoke
Spending time chasing ghosts
Hold me down, hold me down, child
Hold me down, hold me down, child
California called you queen
With your golden hair and magazine
Were you somewhere in-between?
Fast asleep, a flying dream
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's eye view of San Luis

Gregory Alan Isakov - San Luis

Sew the soil 
Dig a hole 
Plant the seed 
Watch it grow 
give it rain 
Give it sun 
you can change 
What it becomes 
itll flourish 
If u nourish it 
Discouragement 
encouragement
Will it blossom 
Will it wilt 
if I just bought some 
Would it still 
Mean as much
As if I grew them 
Through the seasons in the garden
Just for you to sit outside with me 
And breathe
I could pick a thousand flowers 
And have a beautiful bouquet 
But the stems would still all die 
Without the root
and I could plant a rotten seed 
And water it with holy water 
But I still would get a tree with rotten fruit  
And I could fill a vase with water
in a transparent attempt to prolong the inevitable 
As if my inability to artificially preserve 
Something organic is unacceptable
so I watch th flowers die a little more every day 
all the reds and the yellows and the blues turn to grey 
but even when they’re dead I can’t throw em away 
cause as long as they’re there its okay

vocals w/ https://soundcloud.com/ihearangelscry

few tracks I found and threw together, something a bit experimental 
 
Nostalgia - a sentimental longing or wishful affection for a period in the past

Full Lyrics - 

Track one: Light Fading

Light fading  
Its dark still 
When I wake up 
In the morning x 2 
  
I’m gone by the time your time up 
Sometimes I doubt if I do enough
Am I there can you feel my touch 
I wonder how I got here was it luck

Track two: See you soon w/ Angel Tears 

Hold me close 

Falling with the snow
But I land alone 
I said I’d see you soon 
But it’s yet to continue 

So hold me close x 3

Falling like the snow
But I land alone 
I said I’d see you soon 
But it’s yet to continue 

Track Three: Melt 

Now the leaves change colour 
Swear it was just midsummer 
And now my baby wrapped up in fur 
From the cold to protect her 

I remember the first I saw your face 
You got that pretty little glow I swear it had me placed 
I found you inside my heart or maybe you brought it out
When you came around and never went back to town 

Now we fly over the globe and we go where we wana be 
I can help but melt when you’re standing in front of me 
And girl I know how it felt, that first taste of your lips 
Did it taste like everything and medicine 

Now the leaves change colour 
Swear it was just midsummer 
And now my baby wrapped up in fur 
From the cold to protect her 


Track Four: I was high on our very first date, I was high on our last

I was high on our very first date 
I was high on our last 
Sorry if I’m... an embarrassment 
I’ve tried to quit but I can’t 

Just call my number baby 
I’m gone like summer baby
Like leaves in autumn baby
My hearts distorted aching 

They wana fuck with kid now
Think I might just breakdown 
Take my away from city sounds
Into a forest of fairytales 

I think my minds an elevator 
Up and down need anesthesia 
Settle me just slow my breathing 
I’m just tryna find a feeling 

I was high on our very first date 
I was high on our last 
Sorry if I’m... An embarrassment 
I’ve tried to quit but I can’t 

Just call my number baby 
I’m gone like summer baby
Like leaves in autumn baby
My hearts distorted aching 


Track five: Left my mind Infected

what did I do - to deserve someone like you

You left my mind infected 
Running back over what our texts said 
I snapped my spine... sedatives 
I’m tryna find peace in the place we live 

what did I do - to deserve someone like you x 2

You left my mind infected 
Running back over what our texts said 
I snapped my spine... sedatives 
I’m tryna find peace in the place we live

Three in the morning
Skies are drenched in rain...
Thoughts without warning
Once again...

Times are a medley
bold upon my feed...
I need of a little sanctuary
and some relief...

Time is forgiving 
Another mystery unwinds...
Clouds will be lifting
Missing pieces you will find

A little bit of satire
phrases that collide...
A room strewn with pages
Far and wide...

Time is forgiving 
Another mystery unwinds...
Clouds will be lifting
Missing pieces you will find...

Put your feet upon my stair
Pull the ribbon from your hair...

The day is a upon us
In this world undone
The rivers are rollin
Towards the sun...

Time is relenting
Another mystery unwinds...
Clouds will be lifting
Missing pieces you will find

The times are forgiving 
Another mystery unwinds...
The clouds will be lifting
The missing pieces you will find...

Thanks so much to Rene (Para Lia) and Andrew Borderick for listening to an early versions of this tune....

Hope you like some part of it - Cheers, TJG.

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all the time

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

I think I saw you 
at Lions Bay
sipping coffee
at my favorite cafe

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all of my life

But I can't find you
and I'm out of time
I'm out of time...

it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were stealing against time
it was just you and me
we racing against the time
it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night

we were drifting through the night
we were drifting through the night

time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes

we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone

CRUSH THE HATE  (JunkHeap (c) Jul 2017 / Re-fixed Jul 2023) 

So cold; inflicts pain; to some it feels justified.
So bold, in hard times; amplified.
It wants to check your birthplace.

Seen as civilized to some;
by those who want to change society's face.

Crush the hate.

In times not far in the past, it simmered,
under the horizon; puts on its dimmers.  
Waiting for it's chance. We need to...

Crush the hate.

If it feels a little belittled, oppressed, depressed, 
suppressed, distressed, recessed;
it wants to lash out, 
and if it lifts its head; its ugly face.

Crush the hate.

If you have any difference in the colour of your skin.  
...look out.  ya they'll take you down.

Crush the hate.

If you're different in any way.  Ya you better look out.

Crush the hate.

At work, it's under the surface,
subtle and subversive.

At school it wants to be seen, as mean,
powerful and extreme.

Crush the hate.

Lyrics

This morning like every day.
The rain keeps falling
One day to hit the road

I need to change air
I need a new horizon
Just to tell you that I'm better

The trees along the road
Remind me how far you are from me
So far from me

Remember
When winter was taking us
I warmed to your heart
The last embers
The last song of Calvin

We were good
Near the lake
Rocked by the wind
Under a stormy sky

So far from me
So far from us

Just to tell you that i'm better
