Traditionell?2

The mysterious 'Cup and Rings' rock art created over 3,000 years ago in Europe have fascinated archeologists over many years. In 1981 an unusual specimen was uncovered in an urban woodland in the Yorkshire city of Sheffield which I make a point of visiting regularly. This neolithic masterpiece lies tucked away in Ecclesall Woods and is characterised by a variant of the usual concentric circles design, which gives a unique outline to its carving. This funkier version of Stone Age expression deserves a celebration in music which is attempted here....

LYRICS:
---------------------

Out on the street, people you'll never meet
Struggling just to survive
You wouldn't want to be them, pretend you don't see them,
Just roll up your windows and drive

But the ghosts are not dead, and they're not in your head
They're just waiting right there to be seen
There's no way of knowing and the rowers keep rowing
Going somewhere that you've never been

Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

The days turn to ash with no cars whizzing past
Where only the strangers belong
The desert is wide, and then once you're inside
You are hypnotized by its song

With a guitar to strum, the ghost sticks out its thumb
But it no longer hopes for a ride
Just shuffles along to the beat of the song
To lie down by the river side, dreaming....

Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

With silence to ponder it's hard not to wander 
Your mind becomes vacant and free
No matter the cost, all who wander are lost
Swallowed up by the sagebrush sea

Your forever host is the roadside ghost
And it's broadcasting now on the breeze
You'll see there's no choice, there is only the voice:
"Follow me, follow me, follow me....."

Singing
Whoa, weary walkers, may I lighten your load?
The night is so long and you're hearing my song
As you sleep at the side of the road
Whoa, weary walkers! How may I lighten your load?

Tord Gustavsen - Where Breathing Starts

Just because he's unusual
And occasionally delusional
It doesn't mean that everthing he says 
Is unreliable
Amongst all the confusion 
He cuts through the illusion
And every now and then
Has the solution
Then he forgets again
Bad spirits enter telling him it's the end
Just because he's unusual
And occasionally delusional
It doesn't mean that everthing he says 
Is unreliable
Amongst all the confusion 
He cuts through the illusion
And every now and then
Has the solution

Benson

Outsider songwriter cobbling lo-fi demos (because I don't know how not to). Achieved solo with a Tascam pocket studio, acoustic guitar, Telecaster, tambourine and bloody bongos...not all used on every track. Some Instrumentals. 

"Compliance is a deadly vice 
That makes you think you're safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors we face"  - The Cobbled Moth, from the song 'On the Outside' 2016.

Double translated as:
"Compliance is a deadly defect
This makes you think that you are safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors that we come across" Bulyznik Prays, or Cobbled Midge.
