UKRAINE

WHAT IF IT'S A DARK SPRING MORNING?

Support For Ukraine

Untitled Playlist

We can never show enough solidarity ...

The Tough

Puti jumps on Ukraine
Joey breaks his Bank
Scholtzy lose the oil
Greta calls our Prank

Scholtzy moves to sunshine
Spinning pinwheels too
Xi Da owns da blades & Panes
Oh Bother what to do?

Jia Chong gets Joey’s Moula
Scholtzy’s skies are clear
Puti smashes satellites
And Donny blows hot air

Ohhh bother
What’s a mother to do?

Oh father

So I lay my head on Daddy’s lap
And Mother sings to me:

"Hush a bye don’t u cry
Go to sleep you little baby
When you you wake you’ll have cake
And all the pretty little horses"

She sings,
"Oh darlin don’t u know?

When the going gets tough
The tough got to go"

Go to sleep

Go to work

Go to heaven
Go to jail

Go get take-out

Go to hell

Oh Xi Xi, 
Oh Puti, 
Oh Donny & Mitch,

Oh mommy and daddy,

When the going gets tough

The tough got to go

The Tough

A political rant. Explicit Lyrics -just in  case you missed the title - Free D/L
I hope I'm just one of countless musicians in the free world lending a creative voice to express the outrage at Putin's 2nd invasion of Ukraine. With my own extended family roots in Ukraine, maybe I'm feeling the frustration and sense of being left alone to fight the bully on the block. Ukraine is the front line for the rest of Europe, and it cannot fall.  1939 here we come again. Lessons not learned. FU*K!
FU*K Putin and his enablers.
Time for a peoples' revolt. Where is Nevalny, the leader of the opposition? Oh, Putin had him poisoned and imprisoned. Time to revolt Russian people.
Ukraine: remember the Holodomor under Stalin. Never again!
Resist and tell Putin to "Stay The FU*K Out Of Ukraine!"
* if any musician would like to work with the vocals only and create an entirely new and more powerful message for Putin, DM me

STAY THE FU*K OUT OF UKRAINE

I don't think of prayer as a passive activity, but actively engaging and dialoguing with God about the state of affairs be it personal or of late, international in scope and consequence.  I am praying for Ukraine that their show of strength in the face of tyranny may be rewarded with freedom and peace. I'm praying also for Russia, a land of vast wealth and beauty, for the people whom I have come to know and love on the Cloud, that they may know it is a bad actor and not them who is to blame for the shadow that has fallen upon Europe, and in a broader sense, over all of civilization.  Peace is not the exception to human existence, bullets and bombs are.  Love is the state of normal we want to have, not hate.  I offer in this guitar meditation a prayer for peace.

A Prayer for Peace (Meditation for Guitar)

it's war that we abhor
it's more than we can take
the lies go on and on
so that you can take

it's war
that we abhor

put on your thinking caps
we know you can do it

there's got to be a way out

A 4-Star Commended Entry in the 'Crisis & Protest Songs' category of the 2022 UK Songwriting Contest.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all fellow human beings trapped in war zones.
(A bit of a rush job. Written and recorded in an afternoon and posted onto SoundCloud the same day)

This song's message is anti war, I don't want no guns, no more,
People of the world want to live in peace, the simplest way is for war to cease,
Fire one bullet and you've got it wrong, Why don't you listen to the message that's in this song,
People of the world, stand up and unite, all sing together for a peaceful life,

Peace, not war, we want for sure; peace, not war, we want for all,
Peace, not war, you've heard before; peace, not war we need for all

Peace, Not War

Peace, Not War(Graham Williams)©2022 Words Of Wonder Music

Feverently denying taught religion, even though it brings you comfort. Extolling Darwinian evolution, whilst feeling comforted by phones, Fitbits and myriads of bio technologies.

Consciously avoiding the group photograph's, then pondering where you are when you see the resulting masterpiece. Ever wondering which action makes you more human.

comprehending inhumane, but struggling to grasp human.

Sometimes the human touch isn't enough.

My children seek blankets or cuddly toys to comfort them. When I seek comfort/familiarity or reassurance, music offers me warmth, either listening to, or recording. 

Thank you for sharing your music, or listening to mine.

I'm very lucky. ☮️

The Box. A Poem By Kendrew Lascelles, Read by Kevin Kennedy

Hey Everybody!
The war in the Ukraine has really pressed me down the last weeks. Haven't had much energy for anything. However, under the surface something was developing, growing in my head. Yesterday I picked myself up and started writing and recording. The song just happened to me, within two hours it was finished. All you hear was just first take recording, electric guitar and bass was fully improvised. That's not the way I work usually, but this time I decided to leave it just the way it is, despite of any flaws there are. But I wanted to keep the spontaneity of the recording.

If I would ever had the opportunity to raise some questions to the man in the Kremlin, I think it would be those:

Hey man in the Kremlin
are you doing alright?
Hey man in the Kremlin
will you sleep well tonight?
Dream of  children they're crying
held by mothers' arms tight
and of fathers they're dying
in your war have to fight.

Hey man in the Kremin
are there still feelings inside?
Hey man in the Kremlin
have you been loved as a child?

Please try to remember
there was something in the air...
It was love, can you remember?

Spirit of Spring 2022 | 148 - 150 BPM

This is a song inspired by current events not about a current war but all wars ..the only way for the human race to survive is to try and live in peace and harmony and respect all living creatures..
lyrics
I dont want to live in a world like this
everyday on the outside getting hard to exist
running out of fuel ..they keep raising the prices
theres a war down in europe and i know we are in crisis
we need a solution/to put an end to all wars 
dont need these dictators or what they are fighting for
telling you and the others/how to live your lifes
all there dirty agenders on the edge of a knife

What if your country changed and lost its peace took center stage
and all the guns and arms were gone to love you all and sing some songs
WHAT IF ? there was no police and protests to take belief
surrender all ye fellow men lay down your arms and start again
dont let the weight of this world
rest on your fate or what you been sold

I dont want to see all this pointless suffering
dropping bombs and killing and nobodys gonna win
tell all the people its for freedom of the land
and the media machines are there to take your hands
Dont need these intruders/invasion of the skys
guns and blood and tears now /open up your eyes 
no care for environment. no fear takes the blame
all for gas and religion we dont think the same 

live together in harmony rest together in peace
respect every living creature try and find a release
lay down your arms my friend what you fighting for
theres no winners on the edge of abyss of a stupid war

What if

What If ?

One of my works recorded in my "previous" life before the war. Sometimes we feel tiny and lonely in the Universal. Lately I feel tiny and helpless facing the horrors of the war in my country...

Electro Jazz, against russian war crimes!

War Prick (goes low, use speakers or good headphones ;-))

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new
Downloadable: https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/another-pun
I suggest checking out the original tracks too: @https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/pun !!!

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!
