Everything great about 60's music, with none of the come-down. Amazing track.

more than great :-) complete roll-over of all the good things of the 60s, Laurel&Hardy style!

Drums so slick.  Unique take on a past era.

completely transporting.  loving this 70s trippy cinematic vibe.  wow. 

Reminds me a bit of the band called “Sparks”. Really enjoyed.

Iam expecting Lee Marvin to walk in... with some crazy glasses.  Fantastic imagery here.  Masterful.

This is Fantastic, a timeless trip through timeless sound essences woven together to make a magical web of glowing psychedelic psound!

Stellar! Loving the 3/4 timing...all parts blending as one...thematic changes work so well XOXOXO

Everyone’s complaining rightly about the state of the UK.
A snatch of the new Johnny Dysfunctional single ‘BROKEN COUNTRY’ Could do with Marley on this. Marley’s ghost?!
More verses on the longer version
Murder on our streets, kids stabbing kids, where are the police?
Health treatment join a queue, your life’s at risk doctors too busy to see you.
Foodbanks on our streets, food insecurity, cost of living crisis, 14m live in poverty
Lone wolves in bedrooms plan mass killings
Things aren’t how they used to be ….


BROKEN COUNTRY (live) - Johnny Dysfunctional

IT'S YOU THAT I ADORE
Pretty little plaything 
You walked into my door
Exactly like a hundred 
other playthings did before

You wanted to be noticed 
It's safe to say you were
Unlike the hundred other souls 
who for my love do burn

Of all the pretty creatures 
you're the one that I live for
There's no other way to say 
It's you that I adore

Transcendental beauty 
but made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Tell me that you feel it 
say that you’ll be mine
I’ll kneel before you on the floor
and beg a thousand times

Of all the perfect beings 
you're more perfect than the rest
There's no other way to say 
it's you that I love best

Transcendental beauty 
But made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Janine LevinsOn w/mOag - it's yOu that I adOre

This is a remix of the Keldari Station original, (https://keldaristation.bandcamp.com/track/moving-forward-looking-back-single-mix) I kept the bass, keyboards and samples and 3D added some new vocals to fit the groove setup by:-
Pete (MidiPunk https://soundcloud.com/midipunk) drums
Jorg (https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx) on soprano Sax 
Bitzone (https://soundcloud.com/bitzone) on additional percussion, processing and keyboards
Me (https://soundcloud.com/russell-sinfield) on bleeding hours of fiddly fun, mixing and mastering, which is why 3D graciously let me post this remix to my profile, however you will also see a link to the Bandcamp page where this track is for sale and all proceeds going to the continued effort to pay for the Keldari Station synth bay upgrade, pay what you want, the sky's the limit ;-) 

Art by 3D and magic mushrooms from the look of it :-)

Lyrics by Keldari Station
"this time 
let's open up our minds 
and who we find 
could be ourselves 
and if we recognize 
the lies 
the ties that bind us 
simply melt 
maybe 
the answers that we seek 
really are closer 
than we think 
a look inside 
with our own eyes 
is realized 
within a blink 

moving forward 
while looking back 
how can we be moving forward 
if we're looking back 

If we deny 
the things inside 
we try to hide 
or cause us fear 
you can believe 
that we'll succeed 
at only drawing 
these things near 
we can't transcend 
if we pretend 
that which we run from 
isn't real 
such false sincerity 
can only be 
a mask 
for how we feel 

moving forward 
while looking back 
how can we be moving forward 
if we're looking back"

Thanks guys for making this sound so good with live instrumentation, all of your listening to the multitude of work in progresses and being there, joining in and making this global musical community my little home from home!

A music hall experiment in 3/4 time waltz, drums in the style of Manic Depression by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, another poke at social conventions and my distaste for conformity...

Portrait Of Absinthe Minded Polly

Harriet's sister lives life wantonly
Uninvited attentions are welcomed with glee
But all eyes are on Etta 
For she's tres jolie
Oh they just can't see

They just can't see
Why?

To forget Sir Walpole Ratchett
You sit on your mother's casket
Drowning droplets of green pleasure 
With Earl Grey tea

Wilhelmina declines ooh la la
Attending occasions 
With perfect sang froid
But they all laugh with Etta
For she's fancy free
So what about thee?

They just can't see...
Why?
 
To forget their expectations 
Of class and society
You decline to entertain 
Any notion of propriety

Portrait of absent mine dead Polly
Where did you go?

They just can't see.

That High Mountain
John Delk / Drew Ford  2013

The road is long
when your soul is weak
Time is now
But not yours to keep

The mountain's high
An the valley's low
Ain't no easy
Way to go

Don't be afraid
To turn around
Don’t let the past
Slow you down

When you come down ..... from that high mountain
When you finally …..... understand
That you ain't...... one bit better
Then you'll be.... a better man

When you get, all you're after
When you find, there ain't enough
When you come down, from that high mountain
You never will ….. go back up



It's just you an that high mountain's
Then it's just you, it's just you

You and that High Mountain

This is my Cover really an Adaption to ELP'S Lucky Man , its not note for note..  Just my take on it Cheers The Dark Queen G

Living in the past in a fanzine daze
Losing all the time with our ‘winning’ ways
Everyone will buy one just wait and see
Our fingers on the pulse, just 50p!

Sighs of disinterest from our social scene
They really want to buy one but can’t - you see …
There’s a hundred million things that they have to do
Before spending 50p on unlucky you

If I had a Kross it’d be pink, I think?
If I had a Spacehopper I’d hop, I think?
If I were a Stanley I’d die happy.
If I were a Sister, I’d be cool, probably?

the last time

i say i’m cold
so you hold me
but  you told me
(don’t you look back)
that was the last time
no more weakness in you.

so
i held 
the tiny violin up
and
i played 
our sad song
for the last time

but you kissed me
so passionately
for the first time
is that how 
you start 
your goodbyes?

o i was surprised
i felt weak in the knees
(did you find time
to practice?)

o i was surprised
in the weakness in me
weakness in me
 
i thought i was dead
but look i’m alive
how is it we 
kiss like that
for the first time?

o i was surprised
i thought i was dead
that i’d put it to bed
all my jealousy gone
and my life up ahead
a life
without you.

cos you announced to the world
this was my girl:
no longer.
no longer.

she’ll find her way
and I’ll go mine
we’ll find happiness 
in a different light

and so
in front of you all
i’ll kiss her like i did
the first time
for the last time.


will she surrender?
will she remember?
will she surrender?

will she remember  
how I wanted 
to keep her 
all 
for 
my self?
 

let us kiss 
for the last time
put our cigarettes out
dance our way in the dark
to forever

the glow of lights 
in the distance
and we stumble 
to the car
and here we part
to show the world
we don’t make same mistakes
forever
we won’t
we won’t
we won’t
make out
like the 
last time.

we won’t
we want

A Taste of Wonder ©
Riff Beach - RiffWerx - 2020
When you Wander in The Wonder
You push beyond the plain
You can hold onto all you love
And still embrace the change 
(Chorus)
Don’t you lose your Sense of Wonder
Don’t be afraid to feel the pain
And don’t fear the distant thunder
Turn your face and taste the rain
(Bridge)
When you choose to find happy
You begin to lose the sad
Sometimes grabbin’ all the good
Means blasting past the bad
Inspire me with your smile
Make me love the journey’s end
Let me wipe a tear of joy away
Because we’re together here again
