5 words still ring in my ears:
“You’re now the state’s enemy!”
I feel like I am on trial
For crimes that I could not see

But I know that I’ll be strong 
But I can’t seem to get past
All the things that were said
Slipped my mind so fast 
But I know that I’ll be strong

Burn
Burn
I can’t burn
No burn

It’s like war has been declared
On those not wanting to fight
Because they’ve run out of blame
And they have failed to take flight

But I know that I’ll be strong 
But I can’t seem to get past
All the things that were said
Slipped my mind so fast 
But I know that I’ll be strong

Burn
Burn
I can’t burn
No burn

Burn
Burn
I can’t burn
No burn

Burn

This is the 3rd collaboration with my old friend Synline (@synline). I created a basic track using his equipment in his studio, and he completed it with his excellent arrangement (includes creating additional sections, tracks, etc.) and mastering work.

Composition by Ken
Composition and Sampling collage and mix by Synline

Taken Away (collab. w/ Synline)

I took the freedom to transform these old lyrics of the sweet Irish tune into a totally different melody 
In the end It turned out to be a sort of hybrid mixed with Irish and Norwegian folk fusion
Raise your glasses friends🍺

Over in Killarney

Is there a future for all of humanity? Or have we passed the breaking point. Everyone is looking for light, joy, a clean and beautiful planet, etc. And to be content. Is it possible, and will we reach this beautiful shiny dream world, or are we a dying breed?

We Solve Most Things If We Talk

Summer rain finds my face, splashing through my smile
Thunder rumbles fall away, storm is phasing through
Peace of mind is on the case, misery is in denial,
Yesterday’s squally day, tomorrow’s skies are azure blue.

Dreams of history’s tension gladly start to ease
Gripping claws of lunacy finally shun the past
Seems things turned out badly for hunger and disease
Slipping towards unity, laying down the guns at last.

Call my neighbour as my friend, our meanings line as one
Colour, gods and politics accepted as they are
Mutualities to defend no conflict clouds our shining sun
Consideration and respect, a communal repertoire

Mother Mary called today
Handed me a flower stalk
Kissed my worries clean away
We solve most things if we talk.

Need as might we understand equality’s a bed of lies
Celebrate uniqueness as a cast of human thread
Day and night, hand in hand, no polity compromise
Learning from our weakness past, focused on the light ahead.

Mother Mary spoke today
Led me on a learning walk
Eased my troubles on the way
We solve most things if we talk.

Mother Mary sang today
Left me with a simple thought
The wisest heads will simply say
We solve most things if we talk.

Real Good trouble

Massive thanks to Magic Mike Fox  for his musicianship, producing, production and most of all just for being a top bloke.
And Nat Daniels for her massive contribution with her incredible vocals.
I have done many duets with Nat and every time it’s been a pleasure we have created many special moments.
Marry Me In Vegas was part 1 this is part 2 after Vegas with Real Good Trouble. 
Months after the non event of the grand marriage. He missed her after jilting her and not making the flight he felt like he needed to explain he just wasn’t ready for what she wanted. 
He never had the chance as she disappeared, shutdown her socials, changed her number and left.
Months passed without contact and then this phone called happened.

REAL GOOD TROUBLE (After Vegas)

I can’t believe you’re back in the city 
We called called our own
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real…. real Good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time)

2nd Verse
After Vegas I needed to leave 
I should of worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what I would say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
And all the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

don't leave
don't run
don't hide
don't leave
don't fear the son

don't ask why
i won't tell you anyway
i'm a star
i am the rainfall
i'm the word
break your heart
crawl from your hiding place
you will be betrayed
you will fear

don't leave
don't run
don't hide
don't leave
