lizzie's voice perfect for your soulful words Tony,... well done,... both

Always a treat to hear Lizzie sing - such a shame she can't be around on SC now...

Wonderful lyrics, Tony...timeless quality

Love this Tony and Lizzie! Sweet bit of work and fine lyrics!

Always a pleasure to hear your gospel blues rock on Monday playlists, Tony!! Lovely Lizzie. Thanks for including my collab with McTown Music!!

A lovely and gentle tribute to a good man and role model, and a great man to those closest to him. Kudos to Lizzie for a heartfelt vocal of Tony's heartfelt words.

The sacred chant ‘Salve Regina’ is a beautiful thing and to paraphrase Stewart Copeland and Caroline Shaw ‘...transcends religion itself’. This is one of a few rearrangements/improvisations I’ve tried. The harmony etc. is still there but the tele leads the way.

Salve Regina

Still rediscovering my youth compositions on old tapes, and trying to save them as best as possible!

Bachal In Empty Space (For Dominique)- Bruno C

A friend of mine who's a brilliant saxophone player did this cool version of Little girl last year, just came across it again and thought  I'd share it 💜

You Complete Me

Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Rivas @j-rivas

Sung by Mark J Bennett

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in die odradek variationen):


seit zwölftausend jahren jäten wir unkraut aus
wüten gegen wildwuchs, wandeln wildnis in weide
sind gärtner der erde, den wölfen ein wolf
entfesseln elementare zivilsationsphantasien


trotzen stolz dem trauma der selbstbemächtigung
als endosymbiontische eukaryonten
schaffen uns ein gedeihliches exomilieu
das uns taub, tumb, stumpf, verwirrt, irr und wahnhaft im


straßenlabyrinth nach satellitensignalen
autonom heimwärts bewegt. da ist kein außen
für das wir nicht blind sind, da ist kein innen, das wir
nicht regeln, denn die parole heißt über-leben


und was uns befremdet muss todbringend sein und
nur ein nachhall davon darf uns in dichtungsklang
rühren, als reife eine sehnsucht nach echtharmonie
aus dem einklang unseres weltschaffens hervor

interlinear:
mowing // for 12000 years, we have been weeding / fighting wild growth, turning wildernis into pasture / have been gardeners of the earth, a wolf to all wolves / releasing elementary phantasies of civilization // proudly rising up to the trauma of self-empowerment / as endosymbiotic eucaryonts / creating a hospitable exo-environment / making us walk the maze of streets deafly, mindlessly, bluntly, desorientatedly, madly and delusionally // following satellite signals / taking us home autonomously, there is no outside / we aren‘t blind for, there is no inside, we / aren‘t regulating, for the call to action is sur-vival // and what appears to be alien has to be lethal and / only its faint resonance may touch us in poetry / as though there was a longing for real harmony / growing from the monophonic din of terraforming

Keeping It Together (Soul Shaker EP)

A track from the album Time and Tide, available on Bandcamp

Lyrics, music, mixing, production: Verulium
https://verulium.bandcamp.com/releases
Vocals: Amanda Kim Sanderson

It started in Garstang
Heading out for the M55 it's a beautiful motorway
But in the wrong direction 

I first saw Jimi in 75
Stood on the cowling of a seaplane not alive
But more like a saviour

I sat by the lakeside
Checking up on the stove and the gear for a very long holiday
To where the spirit takes me

He landed like a star on Derwentwater
His face was drawn so I offered him a quarter
Of Kendal mint cake

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We're parked in a lay by
Filling up with some beans on toast and a very nice Chardonnay 
To mark the occasion

In a white silk shirt and skin tight pants
He can't sing a note and he's banned all instruments
You've got to respect it

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

We pin our hopes upon
The comeback show of the chosen one
At the Woodstock of the north
In Deeply Vale with Sandie Shaw and The Doors 

Driving the ghost of a famous 60s rock star
Around and around ’til we've built the energy
Living in the back of a camper van
The lakes are great and we do the best we can
One day we'll make it

But the times have changed
The stars have left?
We keep on chasing happiness none the less
One day we’ll find it

Approaching Midnight

A special song about my Dad. (a tribute to John Prine's style of music)
Lyrics by Tony Harris that inspired Lizzie 
Vocal & Music by my friend Lizzie Taypen

I WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF HIM PLAYIN'
HIS OLD HARP IN THE KEY OF "C"
A GREAT MEMORY FOR ME

THEN HE WAS READY TO START HIS DAY
GRABBED HIS LUNCH...WAS ON HIS WAY
ALWAYS ARIVING EARLY AT THE JOB SITE
CAUSE BEIN' LATE WOULD NOT BE RIGHT

(CHORUS)
MY DADDY WAS A CARPENTER
HE LOVED DRIVIN' THEM NAILS
A SMALL TIME CONTRACTOR
ALWAYS FOCUSED ON DETAILS
NO AIR TOOLS BACK THEN
TO HIM…IT WAS A SIN
IF YOU DIDN'T USE A HAMMER

HIS WORK DAY'S...THEY WERE LONG
FILLED WITH HARD WORK AND SWEAT
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG
MY DAD HAD NO REGRETS

HE LEARNED HIS TRADE
IN THE ARMY DURING THE WAR
WORE OUT MANY A SAW BLADE
AND HUNG MANY A DOOR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ON SUNDAY WE WERE ALWAYS GOIN'
TO THE COUNTRY CHURCH NEXT DOOR
HIS BIBLE, HE WAS ALWAYS READIN'
DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE MAN HE WAS BEFORE

(REPEAT CHORUS)
