Lofty Castle
A lofty castle of my own
Like Crusoe pulls up the ladder to be alone
Steerforth, he is our guiding star
Inns of molten blue; that’s our repertoire
“Fill full your cups”

I hear the squawk of corkscrew sound
Long before it’s needed for the next maroon round
I’ve laughed at my own jokes all night
How town sharpens an appetite

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Vast truths that mortals seldom” found

I heard someone fall down the stairs
False reports the tumbler was in fact truly yours
Perhaps there’s foundation after all
I’m on my back on the passage floor

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“But still we held as time flew by”

Who’s that smoking right by the fireplace? It was me!
Who’s that leaning out of the window? It was me!
Contemplate their self in the mirror? That was me too!

Trickling trust divine
“Crackling fever” free
“Unaccustomed wine”
What deceiver it could be

“Drink to me only with your eyes”

Lofty Castle

LYRICS:
From the northlands up in the mountains
To the southlands across the seas
You might ask me what I know
About the places I have seen 

And I might say that I’m not sure 
There’s always something new out there to learn
Grey skies follow blue and blue skies follow grey
Who can say when the weather will turn

But it’s funny…………. how the wind knows
Funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows
It’s so funny…………. how the wind knows
So funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows

Could go west to the setting sun
Could go east to the break of day 
And you might ask me what I know
About the places I'll see along the way

And I might say that I’m not sure 
There’s always something new out there to learn
Grey skies follow blue and blue skies follow grey
Who can say when the weather will turn

But it’s funny…………. how the wind knows
Funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows
It’s so funny…………. how the wind knows
So funny…………… how the wind ……………just knows

How The Wind Knows

A Big Thank You to my friend „Zeralda“ for composing and playing the beautiful keys

Little Moon Piece

1
Mind
Always out of time
Cannot word a line
Not on god
Nor life
That passes by 
In the long course of the day
That is elsewhere night
That just can’t say
What’s wrong or
What is not right
In course of time,
In course of that time,
In course of that time 
That is passing by
…
…

2
Mood
Often in uproot
Cannot draw a line
Between god
Nor life
That’s wasting by
Through the long curse of the day
That is elsewhere night
That just can’t say
What’s wrong or
What is not right
In curse of time,
In curse of this time,
In curse of this time 
That is grinding by

Day after day
Also night after night


3
Moon
You will come up soon
Let me loose a sigh
Upon this 
Turmoil
That’s passin’ by
In the long course of the day
That is elsewhere night
That just can’t say
What’s wrong or
What is not right
In course of time,
In course of that time,
In course of that time
That is swifting by

Day after day
Also night after night

Poor Me (Harmful if Followed/QB Bills)

This a song for all the young Irish Guys and Girls who have had to emigrate to Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Canada and the Sahara Desert, I know how you feel just wanting to back in Ireland in the Cold & The Rain. ha ha 
Enjoy. It's a fun song to listen to when your drinking your cool beer.
Written, Performed and Mastered by : Johnny Mc .

So Hot

This is a piano improv written in a moment of introspection....

Another photo by Kenna Hall, the young photographer. Thanks Kenna!

The Ayes have it...

My focus is on songs, on composition, not on style or genre. The songs  usually have lots of space for improvisation. 

I use a simple little application called "Guitar Pro", not really fit for producing, but a dream come true for rough little sketches like these...

Hope you like what you hear!
Cheers!
