lyrics:
i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
what if i falllllll?

a little bit of this and 
a little bit of that
tit for tat
when the cat's away
the mice sure playyyy
and i cannot 
get away
from the 
cacophonic silence
in your eyes
this i realize
i am on thin ice
but it feels so nice
one, two, thrice
should suffice

i must quit this way
shake the day
ends in decay
i'd be so dismayed

to say the least

i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
i am walking tightropes
what if i falllllll?.............

Tightropes

A Dream Named Wolf
Written by TJG November-December 2020
Dark songs for dark nights ;-)

From the shadows of the subconscious comes a sonic tale that prowls and pulses. A Dream Named Wolf is more than a track—it’s a moodscape: burnt orange skies, midnight tremble, and longing caught in howl-form.

Lyrics 

Verse 1
There’s another fork in the road
Wish I could decide....
Feels like a wolf is tearing at my side

Interlude 1: 

Verse 2
Sometimes you hit the wall
You can’t bridge the divide
Feels like the heat will never subside

Interlude 2: 

Refrain 1
Feels like I’m walking alone at night
Feels like a wolf tearing at my side
 
Verse 3
A full moon is begging to rise
Wish I could fly....
Feels like a wolf is tearing at my side

Interlude 3


Refrain
Feels like I’m walking alone at night
Feels like a wolf tearing at my side
Feels like a wolf tearing at my side

A song written and recorded by Eric Feltham

Its about rejection in the music industry but don't take it too serious!

Lyrics:

I wrote a song about a man, who ate his lunch with dirty hands
And you said it sounded quite generic
Sung about a lady who, spared the  life of her babe and you
Said it was a bit slow and pathetic

And the drums sound cheap and my voice is much too deep
The notes, they all are wrong so just sing the same old song

The same old song, don’t try to be different everybody wants the same old song

I wrote about the days of old, and about a straight and narrow road
But you said it was too safe and lazy
So I sang a song about the time I had to watch a young man die
And you said I sounded kind of crazy

And the song is much  too long and the chords I play are wrong
You made it very clear that you just want to hear

The same old song I tried to be different but everybody wants the same old song

Same Old Song

This song is a similar theme to "fold yourself away" and written around the same time 💜 

Silence inside me

So small my hand in yours,
as you lead me to the door.
My body's not my own,
in my fist a perfect stone.
Focus on the line of light,
imagine everything's alright...
Silence inside me.

And the stars replace themselves, memories are left on shelves.
Always honouring the name, nothing left to hide the shame.
Focus on the line of line, fold up small and out of sight.
Silence inside me.

Piano standing in the dust, broken things all full of rust.
Play the music from my soul, lifts me from the dark and cold, Focus on the line of light, until it fades out of sight..
Silence inside me.

A perfect stone
Who would have known
you could have flown away

Pressure growing in my brain, flames crawling down the lane, faded yellow window pane, holding long forgotten blame.
Focus on the line of light, imagine everything's alright

Silence inside me.

See the sky it's turning bright, I see the sky I see the light.
I see the sky it's turning bright, I see the sky I see the light.
I see the sky I see the light
I see the sky I see the light
Little girl I hold you in my dreams, little girl I hold you in my dreams.


silence inside me

Love! What is love? 
Is it just a mere machine ?
For love freaks, 
Just a common thing.

Love! What is love? 
Is it just a mere machine ?
For love freaks, 
Just a common thing.

I don`t care !

I don`t care !

In your sorrow or your sin
You may always enter in, enter in.

I don`t care !

MACHINE

Its been one year to the day since you  left this world 
See you in the stars
