A break from the songwriting here. This is an ambient track over a poem recitation. I recently found this poem, by me, written a lifetime ago. In a sense this is like a conversation between the young me, and the me at present. Hope you enjoy, or something....

Whoa!, this one could be a little heavy. I'm back to my usual melancholia. The biblical meaning of The Mark Of Cain and its contemporary meaning have diverged somewhat. Here, its pretty encrypted but its about the shit we carry around with us our whole lives, for a variety of reasons, good or bad,er, I guess.

I've had a lot to think about this week. This is a song about fragments of thoughts n feelings that just seem to wash up like driftwood.
The image is a piece of driftwood I found on Morecambe Bay, it reminded me of Van Gogh's Starrey Night

This is a song about the heart. Inspired initially by Bergman's film 'Winter Light'. Its really about those who move us.
Its been emotional. Thanks for following these tunes. I've learned a lot and made some astonishing friends on SoundCloud. You know who you are.
So, this is me, Wes Martin, signing off. (for now)

Winter Sun

I told you, the sky was blue.
I could never lie, I believed for you.
Sun so low, it's hard to see.
So far gone, its cold here alone.
 
Cold hours,cold hours, winter sun for you.
Cold hours,cold hours, winter sun for you.
 
Half disliking, too forlorn
Our sunrise, now there's nowhere to hide
 
Cold hours,Cold hours, winter sun for you x 4
For you, for you, for you,for you...

Hope you enjoy

Wes Martin, I write songs and paint. Not at the same time.
I wrote a song per week in '11 as Ukuleleboy (despite rarely using one, I know!!). I still write and record songs, annd post them on here. Hope you enjoy listening.
