Love on the Rocks'

Going home never alone the type of girl you think you know
When it’s through who’s used up who, play the game girl not afraid to lose
Oh my girl, you know she can pick and choose
I take her love on the rocks, I take her love on the rocks
Just a dog go grab the lead, she’ll take only what she needs
Tip of my tongue tasting so sweet, in the morning kick me out to the street
Aint got time for bye bye baby blues
I take her love on the rocks, I take her love on the rocks

Morning sun slap my face, last nights mask long out of place
Think I caught a dose, those Sunday morning blues
I take her love on the rocks, I take her love on the rocks
I take her love on the rocks, I take her love on the rocks
I take her love on the rocks, I take her love on the rocks
I take her love

Oh it’s time to shake and move on, oh you gotta shake and move on
Just shake and move it on, oh you gotta shake and move on
It’s time to shake and move on, oh you gotta shake and move on
oh you gotta shake and move it on, oh baby just shake

I take her love, her love on the rocks
I take her love, her love on the rocks
I take her love, her love on the rocks
I take her love

ELUVEITIE - A Rose For Epona

Written in 1982, this song first appeared on the 1985 album 'Boat to Bolivia'. 

The renowned Martin Stephenson with The Daintees have announced a UK tour performing their acclaimed and most celebrated album ‘Boat To Bolivia’ in its entirety, 26 years since its debut. 

County Durham singer-songwriter Martin Stephenson’s has an impressive reputation for hearty live shows and this tour follows the success of when Martin and The Daintees performed ‘Boat To Bolivia’ in full at two sold out shows the Jazz Café three years ago. 

Martin Stephenson’s early love of literature and music led to the formation of the first Daintees line-up in his early teens. After becoming something of a busking sensation, Newcastle record label Kitchenware signed Martin and The Daintees and sent them into the studio.  After two singles, notable among which was 1982's intoxicating "Roll On Summertime", a debut album was embarked upon. The Daintees line-up at this time comprised Stephenson (guitar, vocals), Anthony Dunn (bass, acoustic guitar, vocals), John Steel (keyboards, harmonica, bass, vocals) and Paul Smith (drums, percussion). 

‘Boat To Bolivia’ was released in 1986, was praised by the New Musical Express because it "builds bridges between love and hate, between cradle and grave, between folk and pop, between the past and present". The candidness and honesty of Martin Stephenson's lyrics were best portrayed on songs "Caroline" and "Crocodile Cryer". He also revealed his appreciation of the folk/blues rag guitar style with "Tribute To The Late Reverend Gary Davis" as well as regular live performances of Van Dyke Parks' "High Coin".

This will be Martin Stephenson and The Daintees first full tour in 20 years and are not to be missed.

This track can only really be described in French.

Le pêcher (Prunus persica) est une espèce d'indigène Prunus à la Chine qui donne des fruits juteux mangeables appelés une pêche. C'est un arbre à feuilles caduques grandissant à 4-10 m grands, en appartenant à la sous-famille Prunoideae de la famille Rosaceae. Il est classifié avec l'amande dans le sous-genre Amygdalus dans le genre Prunus, distingué de l'autre sous-genre par la coquille de graine ridée.

.............But if you're like us, and dont speak French then give yourself a pat on the back and have a listen to the track :)

Lyrics:-

We set out our stall
But our conversations mental
I’m not unhinged
More totally unique
I might be keen
But I'm not guided by my winkle
Its not obscene if this is all to do with love	

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But think about me

Our open arms have gone flying in the wind
I’m not religious but God deliver me a drink
I’ve always charmed the birds out of the trees
So why can’t I just once not practise what I preach

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But focus on me

I’ve always been the biggest pain in the arse
I’ll change for you ,ain’t you the lucky one

Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
Let’s talk about us
But think about me

What follows is a review by an online music blogger who, at the time of writing, did not know the band personally:

 Under A Banner  Jan 14
 by Themistocles 
Under A Banner are a wonderful discovery. The dream of traditional England flows through the work of this Midlands outfit, blending folk-styled music with the ideals of punk – a haunting, ethereal throwback to real English folk traditions mixed with the revolutionary fight and inspiration of bands like New Model Army.

The themes differ – from the evocative and powerful “Inseperable”, gentle melodies of the guitar subtly underscored with the sombre interludes of the violin and all topped with soaring, mysterious vocals in a tale of love and loss – to the passionate and idealistic self-proclaimed drinking song: “First Light” – ‘Into the city we go, Straight through ’til we see the first light of tomorrow’. In this case, the words assisted with clanging electric guitars tinging the idealism with aggression, a call to arms, almost.

However, the real joy for me lay in “The Scream”, an impassioned cry for freedom, to break loose and live: “Now raise your head from the shadows and scream, just scream; They kept you so quiet for so long… The sound of your beautiful scream” – primacy, anger and fascination with the fundamental elements of human nature, finding joy in simplicity and the release. Combined with the rapid acoustic guitars and pulsing rhythm of the drums, along with the dark natural imagery (“the storm” and “the noise”), the song becomes an insistent repeat, a rallying cry against stagnation and repression:“We love to create to destroy” – our freedom is most important.

Under A Banner are a breath of fresh air in a music scene stagnating and dying with manufactured pop, here is a band calling back to the earliest days of musical expression and bringing it back   in a whirlwind of acoustic guitars, poeticism and passion. A band you can stomp your foot and sing along to, and to whom you want to follow forward, as they so wisely put it, with “beer, wine and song” – an admirable sentiment indeed.
