Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground (BitFiter Cover)

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....

Mesmerise

Temples - Mesmerise

N-Dimension (Original)

You hate my face Yerunda
Can't stand this place Yerunda
It's just things we say
I'll send you back Yerunda
You will attack Yerunda
It's just things we say
We'll never die Yerunda
Yet never cry Yerunda
It's just things we say
Everything transforms 
All minds will rise
We'll stand forever 
And love never dies
Can't tell a lie
I am not wise Yerunda
We're hypnotised Yerunda
It's just things we say

Teach me how to live 
'Coz I haven't got a clue
How on earth do you do it?
New age self-help guru
Coz everyones screwing me over
But other institutions are not like you
Just when I thought my life was over 
New age self-help guru
You showed me what to do-
Give all my money to you 
Yes one day I will be a millionaire 
All my dreams will come true
Soon I will have not one care
Thanks to a book or two
I'd like to thank you again 
For making me feel so Zen
I owe it all to you
New age self-help
You need my self-help
New age self-help guru
Teach me how to live 
'Coz I haven't got a clue 
How on earth do you do it?

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?

The Roadside Ghost

This is one of my first songs from around 2006, silly but I liked the tune

Please Don't Play (Your games with me)

Steppin' out my house just brings me down
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now 
The more I see the more I frown
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now 
Thickos, sickos, grin in disguise
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now
I see you coming I have to hide 
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside
Though the sublime sun is out
Though everyone seems to be out
Though everywhere is full of life 
All I need is in my mind 
I'm quite happy inside
Go out have fun, I don't mind 
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside
All I need I have to find
Modern architecture makes me sick
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside
My pub now flats taking the mick
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside 
Going into town just brings me down
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now 
The more I see the more I frown
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside

Happy inside

Vlad was born he'll soon be dead
All the in between is just a freezing head
So he might as well get soused instead 
He can barely afford to keep his poor wife fed
Got just enough to drink bootleg
Warm your head go bootleg
Life's a struggle so get drunk instead
Eyes burn red bathtub bed
He can't afford Vodka so he drinks bootleg
The poison running through his veins
Makes him sick and batters out his brains 
He knows a cure that'll save the day 
Another bottle not much to pay
Not in money anyway
It's ok just one more day
It's disinfectant but it's sweet to taste 
Who said you need your organs anyway
He's got no job so he will obey
Oh winters come- He's no one 
Winters here - Freeze his tears
The bastards in authority
Know the extent of the inpurity 
They sit and watch the young men die 
'' It's their choice so they've no right to cry''
They sit and watch them die
It's alright dry your eyes 
Go and see the bootleg guy
He makes it better and you no longer mind 
If you live or die
Warm your head go bootleg 
Life's a struggle so get drunk instead 
Eyes burn red bathtub bed
He's got no life so he drinks-
He's got no life because he drinks bootleg. 



Go Bootleg

Peil!

Dragon Age: Inquisition Theme "Epic Rock" Cover

Tord Gustavsen - Where Breathing Starts

I'm so lucky to be a subject
With the privileges they give to me 
With each passing day they may take some away
But I still feel that I'm free
I'm so lucky to be a subject
In the 21st century
I'm allowed my say before the owners have their way
For we are all their property
I'm so lucky to be a subject
With the choice of such trivialities 
With each passing hour
Global elites attain more power
To manipulate the players in democracy
I'm so lucky to be a subject
Under the current regime
I'm watched all the time
And I bet soon it'll be a crime
To question the lying bastards In your dreams

I'm So Lucky To Be A Subject

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.
