Wow. The way you handle these covers is amazing. Your phrasing really makes the song yours. And you continue to cover some of my favorite tunes. I’m glad the sun is out in Bergen☺️

I love your beautiful voice and your stunning, perfectly controlled and subtly used vibrato, absolutely brilliant! I love it much more than the original and can hear your sweet smile. 💛 Wonderful piano playing and recording as well! :👏 Thank you so much for sharing!

This is the second to last track of Fluff's third album 'Down the Rabbit Hole'. https://open.spotify.com/album/4Iq21rBQvgXesED9Hv8GEc

We distract ourselves with meaningless noise, money and a selfish desire for 'me'. We don't realise how the skeletons in our closets, the hate and separation we breed and nurture, slowly erodes togetherness, fairness and community, while at the same time builds up to a big explosion, which probably none of us will get out of alive.

LYRICS:

The day was meaningless 
TV the usual mess
We had our toys and games and
Lots of noise and lots of noise

Do not appreciate 
Don’t give before you take 
What’s in it for me
And where is my money

This is out of control
We are out of control

I deserve
All this is mine
This is meant to be my time
Guilt reflects in our eyes
We didn’t get to say goodbye 

How did it turn so fast
I guess we didn’t last
Filling our closets 
With the ghosts and shadows
From the past

This is out of control
We are out of control

Looming up there all this time 
Pretending to be stars
Those lights now dripping from the sky
Like candle wax held to the fire

5 Star Commended Entry in the 2024 UK Songwriting Contest
Graham Williams - Vocals, guitars & bass; Katie Gill - Piano; Israel Pereira - Cajón.

I found a demo of this song from 2018 - just a run through for The Peace Band really - recorded on my Tascam DR-05. It was just me on acoustic guitar and vocals with help from Peace Band members Katie Gill on piano and Izzy Pereira on Cajón. I loaded up the recording into Cubase and recorded a new double tracked lead vocal over the top. I then added some backing vocals, electric guitar, bass and strings. There's an ocarina track in there as well. Katie's piano has got a bit lost in the mix unfortunately. I was originally going to record this song from scratch until I came across the demo.

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world into a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,

Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.
Heaven on Earth, heaven on Earth, we’re looking for a heaven on Earth.

When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know
Rain falls upon the mountains above, makes the rivers flow,
To give this world the magic stroke, all you need is just a little hope,
When you’re looking for a heaven on Earth, things of things you know

Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,
Peace and love, peace and love, peace and love come from heaven above,

If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
Like planting seeds in a garden with love, flowers bloom and grow,
To make this world a better place, all you need is just a little faith,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so,
If you're looking for a heaven on Earth, you can make it so

Explicit lyrics:
Felt like almost dead, would you carry me home, would you lay me down?
Felt like shit again, would you bring my pills? do you know how it feels?

i don't know where to go...is this the end? i don't know!
From the tip of my head...till my toes, is this hell and heaven's above?

is there a free ride or a lottary prize? to win to lose on an XL size?
crappy or not, time will show...all i know is heaven's above!

I don't wanna buy a lotta food
i don't wanna get rid the booze
i don't wanna buy an SUV
i don't wanna get fatold and get peed

i don't wanna watch the news
i don't wanna get dirty with tools
i don't wanna smell your farts
i don't wanna mess around with you fatfucks!

Summer Tram - with Francesco Cartocci

“It’s over” tells a story of heartbreak and acceptance, as the singer expresses feelings of sadness and loss after a failed relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and resignation, as the protagonist reflects on unrequited love and the pain of moving on. Despite the hurt, there is a glimmer of hope for healing and self-discovery. The emotional depth of the lyrics captures the bittersweet journey of letting go and finding closure.


It's Over 


Hey
I hope you know that I am not okay
I lost the words, there’s nothing left to say
I tried my best to find a different way

Hey
I left my keys, my soul, my heart behind
For now I walk alone to make things right
Although it hurts, I’ll be okay in time 

Why did I chase a love that's blind?
You never wanted to be mine
Why play a game I’m bound to lose?
I’ll never be the one you choose

All this time I dreamed about you over and over again
Show me how to live this life without you
It’s over, my friend

Why did I chase a love that's blind?
You never wanted to be mine
Why play a game I’m bound to lose?
I’ll never be the one you choose

All this time I dreamed about you over and over again
Show me how to live this life without you
It’s over, my friend

RENT A ROOM

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance

Well we don’t want to feel your cold
We want a steel womb with a view
So we can catch you and your crew
With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt
Looking around through all the dirt
You check the chandelier
But I can see straight through you here
You've got a sweat on from the beer
And we can smell your fear
You're coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
(Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!)

The priest and the nun
Are pouring sand into
The joints of my exoskeleton
Whilst a dog with a bone
Is running into trouble
With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
Boop boop boop...

PS Perkins: Guitars, bass, lyre, vocals
Ron Thomas: Autoharps, Drums

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising

BARDS:Of The Shimmering Seraphs

The Professor

Every day it feels like the world’s getting a little more crazy
Every day the future feels a little bit more hazy

Well there’s one thing I like to do 
When I’m feeling blue
That makes me feel okay 
When I’m having a bad day

I pick up my dumbbells and I watch a fitness video on my TV
And I exercise all those negative thoughts right out of me
I lift those weights up and down and I huff and I puff 
And I keep on going at it until I think I’ve had enough

Every time I go to the grocery store the food is more expensive
I go home, I look at my bank account, I feel so apprehensive
I drive to work, every day and the commute is not that great
I turn on the news, it’s so bad, the world is in a sorry state

After a hard day of working 9 to five
Like Hans and Franz on Saturday Night Live
You can pick up your dumbbells
And pump yourself up. You can do it.
Or you can lie on the sofa and watch TV
If you want to bed rot it’s so easy
And the only burn you’ll feel is from the hot sauce on your chicken wings
It’s not the same.

I pick up my dumbbells and I lift them
And I embrace all the pain
And I push all the negative thoughts right out of my brain
I lift those weights up and down and I huff and I puff 
And I keep on going at it until I think I’ve had enough

Some people turn to donuts when they’re feeling overstressed
We all need to do that we think is the best
As for me I’d rather grab my dumbbells and work up a good sweat
As I try to keep up with the fitness coaches on my TV set
As for me I’d rather grab my dumbbells and work up a good sweat
As I try to keep up with the fitness coaches on my TV set

I Pick Up My Dumbbells

“Mon Cher” is a classic Parisian chanson reborn through modern cinematic production.
A soulful café melody tells the story of a woman who’s learned to love life on her own terms — to flirt, to dream, to hurt, and to rise again.
She reminds us that life can be beautiful, but you need the courage to make it so.

Elegant, emotional, and timeless — Mon Cher celebrates the art of living, c’est la vie.
Produced by Quarry Studios.
