Very infectious songwriting and I love the sound you got on the vocals

a nice Rock song with a little retro sound I guess

Here's a live video the song, introduced by Christian.

I was 16 when I arrived in Liverpool, in 1955
I knew no one, thought no one knew me
Till I heard someone call out my name


At the port I was ordered to sign papers
but I could not read or write
Ashamed and weighed down
It said with me all through my life

Leaving Ireland, is my way back to you
I will return very soon
Over the sea that separates you and me

Leaving Ireland Featuring Dónal Lunny

See you next summer

For all older sisters but specially for Jemima and Matilda

Older Sister

I wrote this a couple of days ago, sitting at my piano among the packing boxes.  It was just a flow of feelings piece.  I let it flow through my hands and out through the piano, trying to express my feelings of sadness at leaving this beautiful place and excitement at heading north for a new adventure by the sea in Northumberland. Just because we can and why not give it a try, get some sea air, walk on the beach, listen to the waves.  Apologies this is a warts and all recording on my phone with an occasional hesitation while I work out where I’m going.  I hope you enjoy the journey.

Preparing for Flight. Piano Instrumental.

The Cascade - a Trip through Time 

From first cry, to last breath,
our thoughts and feelings form 
the cascade we call life.

Day after day, hour after hour,
some grow stronger, whilst others fade,
an endless wave to journeys end
and in the end ...

are we but just a memory ?

Mr Bouzouki Dec 2021

Background

This track appeared as a result of some words created in December 2021, that followed on from similar set of words in the Metaphysical series.  As before, the words acted as a catalyst for a the orchestral piece. This track is now track three  of the ongoing 'Metaphysical' series.

This track has taken quite a while to arrive but I've finally got an ending I'm relatively happy with. Talking of the ending. it does feature a 'book-end' moment right at at the end that might be distressing to some. You have been warned. 

I must admit I quite like the idea of life being a collection of flowing and interlocking feelings and memories. I also felt I had to have the cry of a baby and a last breath to book-end this track.

The Living Mold

You might think you are not useful.
It doesn´t mean you are not powerful.
You might think you are not beautiful.
It doesn´t mean you are not graceful.
You might think you are not likeable.
It doesn´t mean you are not wonderful.

You´re not the only one
Under the sun
Who thinks that we should live in
Peace and harmony together
With no problems but the weather

Only asking why
Under the sky
Do we have to die
When it could be so beautiful
This is not acceptable

Just because it is unthinkable
doesn´t mean it´s not convincible.
You can try it theoretical
that doesn´t make you are intellectual.
You might think they are unbeatable.
That doesn´t mean it is impossible.

Why did Jesus Christ
Had to die?
He can´t deny
When you´re nailed against the cross
He knew you can´t convince the mob.

A mind stucked on a flying rock.
Prisoners of a living mold.
Is this the goal of biology
that we are trapped in this colony?

The Living Mold

Candle Light Sonata # 1

Glittering with cold 
The path she walks 
All the storm clouds gather 
When she talks 

Numbingly removed 
With scorn she mocks 
Her pride held high 
Even when she chokes 

Skeletons she finds 
Hollow country lanes 
She can not concentrate 
Fog consumes her brains 

Pretty puppet let me sleep 
I can not keep up this face 
While I bleed 

Memories who she once was 
Scattered pieces 
Shards of broken glass 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you'll run with us 
Help me, I need a friend here 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you can run from us 
She says help me, I need a friend here 

Eternal youth 
Can make you fly 
Airy spirits lost and found 
But wry and dry 

The constant cycle 
Of the butterfly 
Her silver hair 
Becomes the sky 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you'll run with us 
Help me, I need a friend here 

Do you think you're one of us 
Do you think you can run from us 
She says help me, I need a friend here 

Beauty is so vain they say 
It betrays the soul they say 
She doesn't want to play the game 
She doesn't want to be this way 
So she's getting out of here 
Living over ocean air 

She says 
Good bye 
Good bye
