EXTREMELY ORIGINAL

A Cloud of Ravens is an important transitional album for me.  It's the last recordings I would do with Nick Ryan in Denver Colorado (we may work together again but we hardly ever hear from each other due to life circumstances) and as it was, Ravens was recorded in Denver but I was in Omaha and had to drive back and forth - - actually a pleasant task, especially when I took my son Max with me the last time early summer, saw old Denver friends and well, for lack of a better term, said 'goodbye' to Denver and 13 years of my musical and personal life.  A Cloud of Ravens is mostly comprised of 'album versions' of home recorded stuff.  

A Cloud of Ravens (2010)

These here songs are songs I shot videos for with two different cameras, both costing less than two full tanks of gas.  (I had to make a point of mentioning high gas prices because I never fill up my car without feeling like I'm losing my ass) (albeit the subject is completely unrelated to this song list) - - - as I go along with making videos for old songs and new, I'll be adding more to this list.  Enjoy or destroy.  ; )

like 50’s shit
let’s go steady
if i’m good and you’re ready
i can’t seem to get you out of my head
and hopefully back in my bed
we’ll go slow and we’ll take it from there
when she pukes, i hold back her hair
i feel the way that you look is the way i feel
ain’t no gangsta playa
with the 22’s and the escalade
i can count on my fingers 
how many times i've got laid

can’t you see baby you know i’m gonna give you my all
standin’ tall
can’t you see baby you know i’m gonna give you my all
even shop at the mall
can’t you see baby you know i’ll give you my all
like pope john paul
can’t you see baby i’ll give you my all

i’m kickin down to your body was a basic
stepped on your lawn got dog shit on my asics
what the fucks up with that
i didn’t get pissed so i wiped em on your doormat
hung out every night for the past few weeks
a goodnight kiss was a peck on the cheek
i’m out of gas, nothin left
buy this book my heart was in theft
the gold chain that you wanted 
is a little out of my range
getting gq looks consists of a 8 dollar brooklyn fade

can’t you see baby you know i’m gonna give you my all
standin’ tall
can’t you see baby you know i’m gonna give you my all
i'll shop at the mall
can’t you see baby i’ll give you my all
like pope john paul
can’t you see baby i’ll give you my all

Lyrics:
It will come
Much like a begotten wounded thumb
Directed point blank 
At the clouds

Mysteries
Non stop and summer breeze
Wind choked heat and I sweat 
Under those clouds

Wondering why
Piece of white fluff floating by
Over rivers and streams 
Into those clouds

Into those clouds

No matter what
Season it is or what
Falls under the mysterious
Winding clouds

We prepare 
For all sorts of hell down here
Twisters and rain and all of those 
God damn clouds

Under those clouds

Lyrics:
When you've got it down
You pass in to the rain
Mist growing morning fogs
Breathing out again

Passed by all those doorways
Faces poking through
Each dusty window
The street in silence grew

Dust under those fingernails
Boots are worn through
Each step that we take
A distant rider follows through

Thunder comes
Thunder comes
In the long swift sun

Thunder and lightening pass
Like old time friends
Each lit up diner full
Passes in the end

Silence of the whispering field
Waves to me now and then
Each dusty window
Is breathing out again

Lyrics:
After throwing all the bodies in a well I had
Come to life like a flurry frozen stream (oh no)
Too fast for the ice to start its freeze
Stood on ground that will someday cover me

Wait to dark that turns into a mist because it
Seems to me that no one ever finds a thing got my
Shovel and my pitchfork with my name etched in (uh huh)
Work up a sweat as the holy church bells ring

They won't find a thing
They won't find a thing 
They won't find a thing

Years of ice age and I'm numb here in my head (oh ho)
Squelched out and padded over like the earth (uh huh)
Mission orange in the tail lights that I dread
Every time I leave this place it's like a birth

They won't find a thing
They won't find a thing
They won't find a thing

Lyrics:
The lights have all gone down
All over the town
I'm lost in the dark
With pieces of leaves
The wind is rumbling 
The leaves are tumbling my song

Slant of the wind chimes
Sparkling dust rhyme
Step on the gas 
Head out into nowhere
No destination according 
      to where I belong 

I stand on those bridges
Surrounded by chain link
I dry heave in alleys like
One of the displaced
Displaced from the plastice
Machine of this town

All the cold barking of 
Dogs in the midnight
Urgency settles into my skin
Don't know why all the church
Bells chime in the fog

Ohhhhhhhhhh (etc.)

Love is a mystery 
That nearly has killed me
It makes all the stars 
Demons in sky 
And what I would give 
To see her smile 
And sway

Life of the short skirt 
Heat up in to her 
Gravity weighs down 
The whole room 
It's not her but I 
Knitting the course of our 
              doom.

I wake in the morning
I tremble by evening 
I must be insane 
I'm hearing voices from heaven
Calling me down here 
On this cold cold earth

The lights have all gone down
All over the town
I'm lost in the dark
With pieces of leaves
The wind is rumbling 
The leaves are tumbling 
My song

Ohhhhhh  (etc.)

Minhas Conclusões

I'm Michael Trenhaile, songwriter hailing from Omaha Nebraska, member of The Doneofits.  Reflected on this page are home and studio recordings of my own music for the last ten years, songs that survived extreme life changes and 30 something year old trials and tribulations, short bouts of extreme alcoholism plus living in both inner city and middle class shit holes in both Denver, Colorado and Omaha, Nebraska.  I'm big into lyrics and words so feel free to also check out my Scrawls tab (my poetry and 'rant' blog) just below.  Enjoy tunes and check out The Doneofits on Soundcloud.  Also, everything on this page is downloadable.  Feel free to start your own collection as I will be adding more tunes as time goes on.  : )
