Poem Fun

Track 9 of the Album soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-haunted-house
Aunt Daisy was a very romantic lady even though she never had a husband. She was good at decorating her bedroom and had a very good taste for art. For years during her trips to Europe and mostly France and Italy she acquired architectural monuments, artefacts and furniture from the 18th century. She also found her way to private collectors and acquired some fantastic painting made by great renaissance artists. Later she opened the most interesting private art museum in North America. Her room was tastefully decorated and looked like a room in an Italian Palacio in Bellagio. I remember much more enjoying chatting with Aunt Daisy in her room than arguing with Uncle Rudolf in his bunker looking room. https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/uncle-rudolfs-minimalist-bedroom

An imaginary theme to an old imaginary show.

'Walking Into The Wind' is a mixed genre track.....I can't really say what the mix of genres are though. I have replaced the original post and reworked the end section, which I now think is far more suitable. I can only hope that you agree.

Walking Into The Wind

A positive vibe to help us on our way to better days especially in those places of struggle.  Flowing guitars do the arpeggio and the melody in Sax and electric guitar.  It nice how the drum can push the music along. Subtle but effective.

I apologise to any fans of Miss A, but I could not resist this remake. The piano and backing track is courtesy of Greg Kurstin via the wonders of modern technology. 
If their lawyers contact me I am going to run......


Cheesy on me

I'm down to my last billion
In my bank account
That I've been loading up with cash forever
It's been 5years
since I tried hard
So I need to write some nonsense 
all about myself
I need some cliches baby
Need some platitudes

Go cheesy on me baby
I was so banal
Didn't get the chance to ( NB fake american accent here)
Suffer, I had everything
I had it all so easy
Don't you pity me
So go Cheesy on me ( remember to take a breath)

let me patronise
all you little folk
With my psycho babble shtick
because you're all thick
You cant deny
how hard I've tried
I've co-written 40 songs in 12 years (NB leave the co out)
Some of those tunes were mine (NB with emotion here)


Go cheesy etc

I know you all love me
With your meagre hopes
Now I'm so important
You will love my show (NB hit angelic note here )

Go cheesy etc


Dough, Ray, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me , ME!

Cheesy On Me ( my version of a song by some famous people )

Thot NEU

in need of a trim...about a number 4
an improv with a sheet of scrawlings
_________________________________________________

seventies internal decor
remnants of an older era

trappings of sectarian
ism
still smelt of bass and harp

a little roadside inn
on a traffic island

in newtownards

new roads have swallowed up 
this part of the old town
left you run down and

marooned

no-brand cheap electric,
lambeg and an accordion
and to my surprise a penny whistle
even a bold bodhran

2 brothers owned it
always well dressed
but health went to ruin

walls now
damp pebbledash
timbers rotten

on an old traffic island
time is traffic level rising

once sam and
margaret passed this way

met up at uncle alec's

went out inside the new town
lived in their heyday

shot an arc
through the crowded sky

lit up
their time














those were the days


.


i went outside
back into fresh air

cars passing
just sunday drivers

now i've monday
destinations

to belfast
the big apple

back from
little

newtownards

no time
like the present

no time to be
wasted

in newtownards

Hero of the Night

From as far back as I can remember, the visual medium and music were one in my mind.
I cannot separate the two. My wish would be to score something professionally.
That is my goal.
