Love the acoustic tone of your guitars, Carl ❤️ Great accompaniment for your vocals, blends well with the tone of your voice ❤️👏 Good lyrics, storytelling ☘️ Got to have another listen 👍✨🔂

Awesome song Carl. Cool guitar playing! :)

This track is so tasty it needs to be served with napkins

Hearing you loud and clear, my friend.  Fascinating to read your description...

I met a woman named Christel, everytime I see her, this song Crystal by New Order comes to my head. 
So I made my own version of it.

Crystal (New Order)

Classic

Cocktail time jazz. 
Now appearing nightly, lounge singer Shade Structure and his jazz combo. 😉 (open shirt, sweaty, toupee, pinky ring. )
From the album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Lyrics:
I've had enough of the light
Let's turn the lights down low
And get in our evening glow
I wrote a haiku for you
And ways that you do
And the way that you move...

I saw you climb the fiery spires
And you never tired
That's what makes you what you are

Well, you're lucky if you get out of this world with any kind of love at all
That's what she said
I said, "Let's go dancing like we used to do
Let's go nowhere
In the car
Let's rhapsodize upon the stars
You know I love the way we are"

You can't love yourself all alone
You are everywhere
And everyone you've known
You can't love yourself all alone

You can't love yourself all alone
You are everywhere
You're everyone you've known
You can't love yourself
All alone
You are the particles of everywhere you've gone
You can't love yourself all alone

I wrote a haiku for you
For the way that you move...

You can't love yourself all alone
You are everywhere
And everyone you've known
You can't love yourself all alone
You're the elements
The particles of everywhere you've gone

You Can't Love Yourself All Alone

Pour cette première compo de 2025 j'ai fait dans l'epic Pop. Je venais de finir la série Arcane et je voyais bien cette chanson pour l'illustrer
J'aurais du la finir plus tôt mais j'ai chopé une angine que j'ai immédiatement exploitée pour certains passages :)
Bonne année à tous et merci de votre support!

When the world is crashing down
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know
Plug your ears until it's gone
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know

You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know

If i squeeze my eyes shut to hide
Why i still don't feel safe inside
Why future looks so heavy
And so blurry

Is there meaning lost in the haze
Because I cannot break through this maze.
I try to chase the doubt away
For a clearer day

A better day

When the world is crashing down
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know
Plug your ears until it's gone
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know

You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know
You don't really want to know

Should i worry ?

Whether we're right or wrong 
It's unvarying
Change is part of life as we know

And what goes up, comes down or disappears
Men of power also will leave the show

Quand le monde s'écroule
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Bouche-toi les oreilles jusqu'à ce que ca passe
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir

Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir

Si je ferme les yeux pour me cacher
Pourquoi je ne me sens toujours pas en sécurité à l'intérieur
Pourquoi l'avenir semble si lourd
Et si flou

Est-ce qu'il y a un sens perdu dans la brume
Parce que je ne peux pas sortir de ce labyrinthe
J'essaie de chasser le doute
Pour un jour plus clair

Un jour meilleur

Quand le monde s'écroule
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Bouche-toi les oreilles jusqu'à ce que ca passe
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir

Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir
Tu ne veux pas vraiment savoir

Dois-je m'inquiéter ?

Que nous ayons raison ou tort 
C'est invariable
Le changement fait partie de la vie telle que nous la connaissons

Et ce qui monte redescend ou disparaît
Les hommes de pouvoir aussi quitteront le spectacle

You don't really want to know

The Tower ( Brownie, Fox & Daniels)
By :This Sound Society 

A song inspired by taking my 89 year mother to The Vintage Boys  Rock n Roll show.
A three piece harmony group backed by a fantastic band.
After the gig my mother reminisced about her own rock n roll days mainly at The Tower Ballroom where she danced the night away with her sister, brothers & friends.
So I thought I would love to create a three part harmony song with a twist of vintage and modern rock n roll thrown in. 
Magic Mike Fox loves a challenge and Nat Daniels is always up for a sing a long with me & Mike . So from basically an acoustic version to this power house. Magic Mike waved his wand and it’s happened. 

The Tower Ballroom was an attraction in Birmingham England which opened to the public in March 1876 and closed permanently in 2017 and was demolished in 2022.
It held 150 years of history and It was located beside Edgbaston reservoir. 
The Tower Ballroom hosted a wide variety of events, including roller-skating, ice-skating, dancing, discos, weddings, boxing matches, theatre, and musical performances including many famous names that graced its revolving stage. 
It was the place to go in the late 50s/60s onwards for the young people of Birmingham to enjoy the thrill of a big live music and dance venue.
Many romances, marriages and divorces were down  to The Tower . 
My own parents meet at The Tower and went on to  have a wonderful marriage.
So I dedicate this tune to my parents and all those stories my mother told me about it and how iconic it was.
It feels like a part of me and I did visit it myself a few times for a night out  usually after yet another refurbished in the 80s/ 90s. 
The picture cover is a photo of the queue for that last ever afternoon dance. Couples who meet at The Tower and got married were asked to attend to give it a good send off before being demolished. 
Would especially like to thank Mike for his patience as always with me and most of all his incredible musicianship, producing & nice guy skills.
Nat for  another awesome vocal performance and the infectious energy she always brings.
Top people are hard to find and I’m eternally grateful to have collaborated with so many on this app and look forward to another fruitful year creating great music with great people.
This Sound Society gives you ….

The Tower 

V1
She looked across the reservoir 
Where she stood for many  years 
The Cupid of this 2nd city
With romance marriage & tears 
And if wasn’t for the tower I wouldn’t be here right  now 
It where my parents eyes meet on a dance floor somehow 

Ch
Come on …let’s  meet at The Tower
What a time to be alive 
Come on …. Let’s meet at The Tower 
walk , bus, tram or drive 
Come on. Feel the power 
Welcome to the Tower

V2
To all them happy endings & tales of the reser  banks
This is our song we are singing to send love with a massive thanks 
She had Bowie, New Order, The Smiths, The Who just to name a few 
From the 50s, 60s, 70s,  80s 90s  what decade were  you 

Finish on a double chorus ..

More hat tips to Irish folklore here. Reading up on the Yamnaya culture and how the spread of modern culture may be rooted in years much further back then history currently suggests. Its also showing fairly cool links between Ukraine and Ireland which is whats keeping me digging...

The Myth
The Tuatha Dé Danann were the God tribes of Skill and they defeated the Formorians whom were the evil gods. Apparently first written about by early Christians I was perusing how they came to that conclusion. Maybe it was this... A more evolved society that they came across. A godlike society. I'm sure it would have been easy to mistake incredibly advanced human beings with gods...🤷🏽
I also listened to one mythologist talk about a period of peace and tranquility after this battle..
 So in the face of all the fire it was nice to imagine that happened before and bring in that ⚡
So maybe the Christian texts are naive stories about old wars. And the Gods of Skill won and we found peace for a while. Yes please

Lyrics

To the God tribes of skill
The green muscled gauge for our will
Back then a land bridge brought us to Europe
Back here the Yamnaya culture flourished
Peace and quiet
No war
The good life survived
Not poisoned with stores
No one advertised
No euro, yen or dollar
Subtle rations sussed
Generous with touch

Good God tribes of skill
Good gauge for our will

We listened to your stories
We're soothed by your good glories
We've serviced your signs
We think now clearer designs
What you meant no longer spent
Now and to the future we went

Good God tribes of skill
Good gauge for our will
Subtle rations sussed
All about to love
Generous with touch
Knew love

Tribes of Skill

The love of my life. The best 10 years 14 days we shared together.( Caroline Jean Winchester ) she was 50 years old. I think about her every day . She was the strongest person I ever knew. I miss her laugh the most. It came so easy for her. A tribute to her  written by myself in 2017.
LYRICS
IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD WILL I FALL INTO OUTER SPACE
OR WILL I HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE TELLING ME I'LL LEAD YOU HERE
OR WILL I SPIN WAY OUT OF CONTROL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
TO A DEEP BLACK HOLE. AND IF I TRY TO REACH OUT TO YOU
WILL THIS DREAM TONIGHT COME TRUE

YOU'LL FOREVER LIVE DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS AND BRAND NEW STARTS
THE WORLD TURNS  THE SEASONS WILL CHANGE
IT'S NOT THE SAME IT'S NOT THE SAME

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY 
TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE
AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN  THERE'S STILL PAIN
SO MUCH PAIN... ITS BEEN EIGHT LONG YEARS SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
TIME RAN OUT YOU COULDN'T BE SAVED 
THE DAY YOU DIED THE LIGHTS WENT DARK 
MY SPIRIT DIED AND MY SOUL CRIED OUT

YOU USE TO SAY YOU'D FIND YOUR WAY TO KEEP ON LIVING BEYOND THE GRAVE AND HELP ME THROUGH ALL THE PAIN BUT THERE'S STILL PAIN SO MUCH PAIN.,,,,,,
