The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

man, let me tell you this
life is shit and piss
there's something amiss
about the way we live
and no one gives 
a damn

well, god damn

i try to do my best
end up suffering like the rest
earn my fucking pay
but there never seems to be a way
to get ahead
we just do this til we're dead

i don't like it a bit
having to be a fucking slave
but we never have the choice
for all the things we gave
to be a part of this shit
we call society
shouldnt be
as hard as it seems

i reed shit in the news
about people and how they suffer
how no one really cares
about the well being of another
its all bleak tragedies they feed us

mind control
consume your soul
fill you with holes
leave you hollow with a yearning
to die somehow
but not now

we all pray
for a quiet peaceful death
surrounded by loved ones
as we take our final breath
but the reality
is the suffering
and pain as grow older
days get dull and colder
just a rotting piece of meat
no one cares put you on the street
if you can't make the bills
a shortage of cash will kill us all

fucking pathetic
ain't that the way it goes

and the ones we idolize
the ones who get by
with all the glory and the fame
money's the name of the game
we all wish we were like that
fat cats always where the actions at

such hollow lives we leed
we take joy in seeing others bleed

what kind of creation
would see its people
set up warring  nations
kill each other 
whats the point in that
there must be something to it
cuz thats where we're at

whats the point
whats the point

fuck i don't know
tell me it aint so

What's The Point?

The Raven * Instrumental

Lightning War (instrumental) (high quality album available on BandCamp)

Recorded 13th January 2025. 

I joined SC ten years ago and haven't yet shared a half hour long track, weird that :) 

(Music created by AI makes me feel ill)

I played in a band many years ago, never sang and never performed solo. 

I later used Audacity to cut out some noise where I dropped a cup and once where I took too long before starting the next song, and added reverb.

The Cobbled Moth Live at Home

My last positive creative spell, lasted for a Week!!! After several attempts I finally managed something I was happy with, but on reflection, I believe I could have done so much more with it!
Me being me though! I rarely help myself by doing things normally!!! Lol   So as well as doing this mix, I also cooked my tea, did a few dishes, skinned up a couple times, I managed to resist the urge to do a bit of drawing! Haha 😹
Then came the matter of eating my tea 🤣🤪 Trying to eat a cooked meal while mixing/DJing, is kind of like trying to eat while walking, not impossible, but fucking close, and very messy too, got greasy faders now 😹🦞😜🍄🌈🍺🦄💖🤪😻🍺👽🎷🧪🦇💊😁  Oh, nearly forgot to mention the picture! This Parrot came and visited us at work!  It flew over and said "Hello" 😹 It landed on my mate and gave his arm a peck, before landing son someone else, and give their hand a proper peck!!!!   It was a Fucking Lunatic!!!

Hang On Tight And Don't Lose Sight

“Artistic Vision II” is the second half of Kannibal’s double concept release—a continuation of the themes introduced in the first. While still focused on the artist’s journey, this chapter takes new directions: deeper into the process, the struggle, and the beauty behind creation. It’s about the evolution of expression, the weight of vision, and the story every artist carries. Together with Part I, it completes a full picture of what it means to make art that matters.

The Artist Who Travels

A Disarming Smile and A Kiss In The Field

"IF YOU ARE USING AI TO CREATE YOUR MUSIC, YOU ARE NOT AN ARTIST. You simply know how to interact with a computer system to replace the talent and work ethic you lack. Do I make myself CRYSTAL CLEAR?"
