new list for a used car

A dark, atmospheric electro track with reggae overtones produced and played by Andy & Bri Littlehales, written by Bri, Andy, Leigh Dawson with lyrics and vocals by Mat Hume.

The track began several years ago as an instrumental tune started by Bri and Lee which I put bass to. Years later Snowdune have created this version which is very different to the original, especially with the addition of trance percussion and dark synths. 

Mat came down twice and created vocals by improvising to the track, which at that time sounded very different to how it does now. Mat sang, "stream of consciousness style" and I later chopped the vocal tracks up, swapped them around, used something from every track he sang and even created backing vocals from different takes. 

This Time Is Ours - Feat. Bri Littlehales & Mat Hume

A musical documenting of a horrific event in World War 2 contrasting an almost smug American announcement of the bombing of Hiroshima with the more factual and solemn descriptions by a radio announcer later. Set to my original music which is suitably dark in feel and tone.

February

I always tried real hard
I never wanted to let you down not even once
and each time I looked in your eyes
I had the strength to carry on.

I love the month of February
I especially like the snow
there is nothing much more pleasing than a crackling fire
and you by my side

Nowhere to go
To watch the Snow
Nowhere to go
Without You

Like a boy lost in the woods
Wondering the wrong way
Like the little engine that could
Stuck at the top and headed down the hill the wrong way
Hey

I have got nowhere to watch the snow
Nowhere to watch the snow
With you I ain't got nothing
Nowhere to watch my snow

I think I'll move on down towards Idaho



February

Howling down the alley/but im still not here [second nature-second nature.
I see the tv tower/I got nothing to fear.
A brand new concept and a bright new start[hail the future-hail the future.
Got designs for a living and a big red heart.

Funny how today we communicate/when we used to write letters and the post was so late.
Now its the push of a button/on a big flat screen.
its a day-glow vision/its a whole new scene.

Heal the ones of your desires
See the skys filled with fire
Coincidence or true inventions
open up to new perceptions.

Flashing like a camera/seeing pictures though a lens[click click snapshop]
Feeding static image in a world that never ends.
Wearing leather in the weather of the city of sin[glitz and glamour-glitz and glamour.
paint a portrait of an actor in the east berlin.

Funny how its instant in a digital scene/your never make no money/but your always have a dream.
Live it like an extra when its tearing you apart.
you got a bright new future and a brand new start...

From east to west we,ve seen it all
Running my hands behind the wall.
From east to west,we are free to go.
From east to west where citys grow..
From east to west i will take the plane
We will always stay connected and always think the same.
From east to west theres no divide
From east to west we are outside.

Come on pretty baby, come and take a ride with me
You can sit in the back, let your hair blow in the breeze.
We can take to the road and head down to the beach
Come on pretty baby, come and take a ride with me
Wear want you want, let's cause a scene
Let's burn some rubber, if you know what I mean
C'mon.

Leave your friends at the pool just jump into my car.
Got the radio on, we could drive real far.
As far as you want and just as far as you need.
Come on pretty baby, can't you see I'm pleadin'
I'll take you where you want to go
I promise I'll take the corners slow.
C'mon.

Well, the leathers all smooth and smells real good
the chrome's all shiny, that's understood.
The seats recline, when I get I the sign
C'mon baby, let's take a ride.
C'mon

Solo

Come on pretty baby, come and take a ride with me
You can sit in the back, let your hair blow in the breeze.
We can take to the road and head down to the beach
Come on pretty baby, come and take a ride with me
Wear want you want, let's cause a scene
Let's burn some rubber, if you know what I mean
C'mon.

Well it’s not the way I dreamed it
But it’s what we became
We get up in the morning
Most days are the same

There’s two cups of coffee sitting there
It’s time to start the day
She drops the kids off at school
I pick’em up on my way

An' this life we’re living
An' this picture that you see
It’s everything but ordinary to me

But I am an ordinary man
Love my wife and family
And I’m just happy just to be 
In this ordinary life

It's football on a Friday
They might win it all this year
The wife's been working hard
Hope that promotion is near

We need a vacation 
I think the beaches would be good
We got a little money saved 
But it's not like Hollywood

This Ordinary Life (lyrics: John Delk; remixed)

John Delk is a songwriter from Tennessee who I greatly admire, and I was very happy when he asked me to considering covering this smashing blues he composed with Jonas Hornfeldt from Norway, before I went to Memphis in January. Sadly I didn't have the time to record it before leaving, but here it is a few months later!
