Lost Ground

written by Netta&McGill....................one of a few songs we recorded while Netta was here in  Brisbane................cheers for having a listen




The days came by then went away,
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

Catching up with time and space
You don’t know what you’ll get
But i know whats not going on
Cos nothing’s happened yet

Reaching out to grasp the day
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

I could’ve turned the other way
The feeling came so fast
Quickly went away again
Just wasn’t meant to last

It stopped me in my tracks
I didn’t know where to turn
Making the same mistake again
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

The days came by then went away,
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

It stopped me in my tracks
I didnt know where to turn
Making the same mistake again
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
…
Reaching out to grasp the day
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

Passing By

Tonight

As I've started doing lately, this is another short segment of a previously uploaded song where I just feature one isolated track, in this case the synth string arrangement that comes in about 2/3 of the way in the full song. I've included Carl's synth track as well as accompaniment. 

The full song, which was originally written by Carl aka 'The Beautiful Dark' and performed together with 'The Eclectic Collective', can be heard here:

Dear Collective (ISOLATED STRINGS & SYNTH)

Dim and Diminished

Many years ago I was in a bar out in the Mid West of the US and I fight broke out... It was weird coz it seemed like I was watching a real life film... lot of over weight 'chaps' swinging fists and kicking out like donkeys.  a very funny thing to behold. Anyway I wrote this track and am working on an album to go with it.  'The Buckled Wheel Inn'.

Lyrics:
You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

What you’re giving, only some of
What I want to take
Take it all for myself
Life turns on a dime

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

You out in summer air
Prowling in my garden
Turn my back, you run away
Don’t know what you’ll encounter

You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Life can turn on a dime
Turn on a dime
Life can turn on a dime

Blooms In Full Flourish

Well hello. Here’s some rustic Mountain Blues, played on extremely oxidized guitar strings, with me hollering from the mountain top. Hahahaha. The song hints at a personal authenticity, and the experience of possibly unraveling any prior conditioning (Pavlovian or otherwise) that may constrict our lives in some way. It’s also about the different personas we portray to the outside world. How we may act at work, or on a first date, or with our spouse, or kids, friends, enemies, those who hurt us, even our stage personas comes into play…. So this song is asking a lot of us. In other news, right now in June, the mountains are snow covered and it froze last night. That is late spring, early summer here. Gardenwise, this year, I am planting a lot more Brassicas: Kale, Cabbage and Broccoli, and they are growing well. I am going to try to fence off the carrot/beet beds, as the voles always eat more carrots and beets than I ever do. Onions, leeks and garlic have been growing since March. I transplanted 50 lettuce plants I grew from seed that I saved from last year’s lettuce. The berry bushes and fruit trees have really blossomed this year. There are squash, cukes, tomato and pepper plants inside by the window, to be transplanted outside next week, quite a mess… all of which keeps me busy…. Hahaha. Thanks for dropping by, hope you’re well, Mark
