Aroused from Slumber

A Shade of Blue - Legacy Demo Version

A sentimental country-ish ballad with a big sad finish.
Dedicated to anyone suffering from memory loss. Thanks for listening.
Lyrics:
I can still remember
Felicia in December
Outside in the cold
Smoking Swisher Sweet Cigarettes
But she would always forget
If you're gonna inhale that shit
You know she always got sick
She'd chewed down the tip

It's like I told you on the phone
My mind is not all my own
All my memories are dissolving
Our nights in Arroyo Park
Out feeling that spark
That Datsun that would never start
My bad Cure haircut (disaster!)
My heart was beating faster
A sketch of a love scene
Painted behind
A gothic old master

I was selfish with my time
And now I seem to lead my life
Conducting orchestras in my mind
Oh, I don't know how this sounds
But sometimes I listen to the ground
To hear and feel the rumblings
I think that you're coming around

All my memories are dissolving
Soon, I'll have no memories of this world
I'll have no memories of this world
So let's go out tonight
And shoot out the lights!
Let's break our hearts tonight
I'll have no memories of this world

I wanted to drop you this line
To thank you for the time
And thank you for being in my life
Thank you for being my life

Let's Break Our Hearts Tonight

This is a true story about a beautiful lady from the north. A million thanks to Sean for his magical strings and synths and to my friend and band mate Ben who worked very hard on this song.

Beautiful Helen from the north    you brightened up my dark phase like a torch, scared to ask you but I did      and I was happy like a kid.

You accepted my enquiry      a collaboration of you and me,
such an unexpected pleasure,      what a musical treasure!

I' d never heard a song of you before   when I saw your poster on a wooden door, your beautiful face just caught my eyes   -   I got kind of hypnotised.

You are also on SC      like many others and like me,
your music is stunning,      your voice is so enchanting.

Then I saw your video      of a song that' s called Ayo,
such a beauty, such a grace      in your lovely smiling face.

Oh Helen,      tears are wellin'      because of happiness      that' s how it is
I don' t wanna stress you  -  or possess you - it' s just about a song - why should that be wrong?

It took you ten months to drop a line      writing "sorry, I' ve got no time,
there are so many other things      and every minute my mobile rings".

Beautiful Helen from the north      you brightened up my dark phase like a torch  and whatever you choose to do      I' ll be waiting for you.

Found this on the proverbial cutting room floor when digging through files for the remaster project.

It’s a bit rough round the edges but I thought I’d throw it out there. 

The mission audio is Apollo control reading a selection of news headlines to the crew whilst they are on the outward leg of the journey. A bit of banality during an historic event.

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’ t find the words tonight

I can’t see the stars tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
I can’t see the stars tonight


Shining down or in your eyes 
I can’t see the stars tonight
Help me see 
Help me see the stars tonight

I could live a simple life
Slow it down or take a flight
I could live a simple life
I could live a simple life

I can’t see the see stars tonight
I can’t find the words tonight
Shining down or in your eyes
Help me see the stars tonight

I can’t find the words tonight
Written down or in my mind
I can’t find the words I like……

Humans have a gene that favors curiosity, so-called adventure, and when this gene is activated, they want to leave their comfort zone and ``want to know what lies ahead.'' Driven by curiosity, I constructed a new imagination.

HI!! Here's my folk-rocky version of SCOTLAND THE BRAVE!!!
In 1951, the famous Scots singer Robert Wilson asked Cliff Hanley to write the words to accompany an old Highland pipe tune. Although few realised it at the time, "Scotland the Brave" was to become a nationwide and international hit. Indeed, it remained the de facto national anthem for two decades before being supplanted by Flower Of Scotland. SHARE AND COMMENT IF YOU LIKE!!

So unreal  ft. NAT DANIELS

It would be like a dance 
Maintain this distance 
Where everything is created 
In cryptic 
In spells 
Weaving translucent mesh 
Soft to the ligaments 
So resist 
Praying for the Resilience of Refusal 
And so Certify the shelter 
Certify the cloud

Certify The Cloud

Thank you Davidkilledthegiant for all your help with this track!

The road to happiness is difficult to find
You can get lost along the way..
You have to make an effort
Keep an open mind
And happiness will come to you one day..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like a lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

If you only demand
With nothing to give
Unable to find pleasures in small things..
You will never feel happy
It will only get dark
And you will miss out what life can bring..

If there is lightning and thunder
And the rain pours down
You can still smile through your tears..
Roar like an lion
Dance in the rain
Let joy be your outfit to wear..

Modern Times feat. IPG1 & Paploviante

Galileo's telescopic observation of the moons of Jupiter orbiting the planet  was a black swan moment for the Church's earth centred view of the universe. As ever those whose long held beliefs were challenged by the facts did not react well. Plus ca change.

But Still it Moves (John Stone)

Galileo Galileii stood before the court 
Accused of breaking sacred law
In what he said and what he thought  
They told him God had made us the centre of all things
The earth stood still, The universe
revolves around in perfect spheres and rings.

But he had seen the moons of Jupiter
Sailing through the void
And knew at once religious law
Had forever been destroyed
The power of observation
Proved the earth went round the sun
And we were not the centre of all things
as we were told we had become.

The Bishops and the Cardinals
Were outraged by the thought
That places held by God and man
Were not what they had always taught,
They forced a recantation of his controversial views
But as they dragged him from the court
He cried,“But still it moves”

Still it moves, Still it moves
But still the earth goes round the sun
Whatever you can make me say
A truth once known can’t be undone
So forget your old religions
And new ideologies
Truth is truth and only truth will I let speak to me
And still it moves… 

We’d like to think we’ve come some way 
Since those unenlightened days
But look around and count the things 
you know but are afraid to say 
In pain of media pile-ons 
And News that’s always fake 
And Those who are inclined to say 
That hate is truth and truth is hate 

It may not seem important  
But it still seems plain to me 
If you’re not allowed to speak the truth 
Then you’re no longer free 
So when they try to shout you down 
With the crazy things they say 
Remember Galileo
When he once dared to say
Still it moves…

But Still It Moves

13 birds circling about a quarter mile high in the sky, I’ve never seen so many birds circling so high, there are no robots in sight.  He’s not too friendly but he’s got a heart of gold, at a young age he fell in love with falling in love.  I’ll be  the first to break the silence, the silence that’s been kept as long as it’s taken the river to carve the canyon, the canyon between you and me.  You bought a black and white color chart with blood money, I’m talk-in money from the blood bank.  Driving up a one way road, cursing at everyone as you go, trees look like broccoli in a miniature world.  And now it’s five o’clock Thursday afternoon and Friday’s in the air.

Don't Be A Heart Breaker

The Doors of Perception

Syrinx of Discord

Two people who love each other embrace each other, their emotions are running high, and finally they want to melt together and become one..,
This is a song that expresses that feeling in sound.

Into You

I'm here with you tonight, are we the best that we could find
And I'm trying not to say what's on my mind.
Cause I have always said, what was in my head
But you know sometimes some things are better left unsaid.

I tell you lies; I tell you lies, I tell you sweet little lies
I tell you that you mean the world to me.
You tell me lies, you tell me lies, you tell me sweet little lies
You tell me that I am the man of your dreams

Although I’m sitting next to you, we’re both so far apart
Too far away to fill our empty hearts
We’ve been living for the moment but the moment’s long since past
We’re running on fumes and the passion’s fading fast

We had our day in the sun
We had a lot of fun
I think we’d both agree that we’re close to done
Circumstances change 
And what used to feel so right
We were caught in the hunger then we lost our appetite

I tell you lies; I tell you lies, I tell you sweet little lies, 
I tell you that you mean the world to me.
You tell me lies, you tell me lies, you tell me sweet little lies
You tell me that I am the man of your dreams

I think the time has come for the two of us to pack up and leave it
I can’t take this lying anymore
I can’t take this lying any more

Blue in your eyes

Let's go in blue paradise,
fullness in live,

Blue in your eyes,
always this light,
dreams of getaways,
until the dark night,

Blue in your eyes,
Blue in your eyes...

Music : Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

Far up in the sky
a falcon flies
With a proud and raised head
It sails away

Chorus:
Looking down at us
With his sharp falcon gaze...
Looking down at us
with his sharp falcon gaze..

He wonder about us
the human race
Consider our mistakes
with his falcon gaze..

chorus..

He cannot understand
in his falcon brain
How the human race
can have any gain..

Chorus..

Why do we destroy
what is around us?
Nature is torn down
No place for a falcon..

Chorus..

The falcon flies on
hope to find
A safe place to land
while the earth breaks...

Looking down at us
With his sharp falcon gaze..
