Very neat Rory, I bet this is not often covered and I love this version. The harp is amazing.

I think Steve is right about it not being covered much and I have never heard of it :))))))))))))) Sounds like your riding into town on it though Rory and very cool indeed this mate....

Fabulous all round job as ever Rory and very well enjoyed my good friend...

Really like your take, and the play between guitar and harp definitely works for me, Rory.

This production is extraordinary and I love it.  Bravo, Rory!!!

"What went wrong"

(Chorus)
Hey, Hey
What went wrong with the world tonight
I made not home alive - I'm so tired
Don't wanna fight

(Verse 1)
You win - I lose
We act like fools
Nothing changes 
From day to day
You Said you're right
I say goodnight
I get the feeling
We're seeing things differently

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Check In - Checked out
I'm inside out
All is quiet
On an endless stream of misery
Be one without
There is no doubt
My will is broken
But I ain't getting angry

(Bridge/Guitar Solo)

headphones that allow for deep bass recommended (you'll feel vibrations all through your physical shape - the way a spider would) 

method: the instrument seen in the picture was made for this song - I wanted to start out with direct vibration via a contact microphone. it is hardly dicernable, however, as it forms the basis for timestrech and shoegaze. two vst instruments (chinese flute, humming choir). voice. 
narration: a second hommage to spiders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anansi , after koyangwuti

anansi / copyright jo richter:

tracheensinne
aufnahmebereit
was schwingt, wird spinne
netzspannenweit

jede bewegung
bebt nach, lyriform
luftdruck, geistdehnung
erregungskonform

kürbishaut spannt sich
kuticular
ums hohlorgan ich
schon weise, noch narr

interlinear translation: anansi // trachea senses / ready to receive / what vibrates becomes spider / as far as the net reaches // every movement / vibrates, lyriform / air pressure, mental expansion / adapting to the action potential // melon skin stretches / cuticular / around the hollow I- organ / already sage, still foolish

LYRICS: 

Hey little boy, what have they done to you
They disowned your soul and locked you away in the dark
Oh little boy, no one paid attention to you 
When you cried out for help on the quest for your passionate spark 

In the thickets of repression 
All the years you’ve been on your own
Any kind of your expression
Trampled down between hearts of stone

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

Hey little boy, please give me your hand
I show you the world and you teach me how to see it through your eyes
Oh little boy, your life’s been so bland
All the crap you’ve been made to believe in was built upon lies

In the thickets of repression 
All the years you’ve been on your own
Any kind of your expression
Trampled down between hearts of stone

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

And with tears in your eyes 
You begin to realize
That now I can hear your voice 
So finally, it’s time for you to rejoice

“Blurry” 

Do you believe in love at first sight?  

Towards the end of my second day at my job, my supervisor took me around to meet some other people in the organization that I would be supporting.  When Jeff introduced me to this long blond haired beauty, I actually got dizzy.  18 months later I was dating that beautiful lady and 4 years after that we were married.  My wife doesn’t believe me when I tell her and the kids this story, but it really happened.  So, I don’t know if there is love at first sight, but if one of you feels that your world has just shifted, take heed of this wonderful opportunity.

About the musician:  I happened to come upon Eden Fox’s Soundcloud page over the holidays.  What a treasure to find!  Great heartfelt folk tracks that are just perfect.  This artist needs more exposure! Please check out his page and support the efforts!

This is the first of three songs I am working on with Eden, each of which I am honored to be able to sing along to such outstanding work.  Thank you Eden for allowing me to sing to your wonderful tracks!

Once I saw you
Twice I looked
The third time I’m dizzy
Once I get my footing
I’m going dancing with you, with you

All I need to do is find my footing
To find my courage to follow through
Girl I don’ usually stumble
But tonight you’re so pretty

This is love at first sight
But complaints are going to the Man Upstairs
As I look at you there
Everything’s going blurry, blurry

Once I saw you
Twice I looked
The third time I was dizzy

Once I get my footing
I’m going dancing with you 

Once you saw me
Twice you looked
The third time I’m giddy

Once I finish flipping 
I’m going dancing with you, with you

All I need to do is find 
What is putting my heart up in my throat
Girl I don’ usually mumble
But tonight I’m not so witty     

Once I saw the time
And how long I took
To miss you would be a pity

Once I finish tripping 
I want to walk home with you, with you

All I need to do is not be in hurry
Get my heart under control
Girl I don’ usually fumble
But new love can be so tricky

If there’s a chance for love 
I’m praying to the Man Upstairs
Make it clear
So things won’t be blurry
Make it real

Blurry (with Eden Fox)

It's not easy to write and perform a romantic ballad without it sounding cheesy.  It takes beautiful lines of poetry, a melody that stirs emotions, and a delivery from the heart.  I hope this song has those qualities.

Because You Are Here

Another Day

''One Day'' - original song written, performed, recorded and published on                     8th December 2019 by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski)

ONE DAY

Will you remember me
or will I breeze though your mind like a plain old daily grind
never found in the night when you dream about times 
you would like to invite to your life to live free?

I will hold on for as long as I can
I will hold with every tissue of my hand
I will watch your eyes sleep till the dawn
until new day is born
that's how you came one day

All these years I've been running blind
All this years I've been wasting time
but with you in my life 
I have found winding road
leading straight to the heart of delight 
(the light)

One Day

“I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim or too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard travelling. I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think that you've not got any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songbooks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow.”

― Woody Guthrie
