Sweet, sweet, sweet. Sweet and funky indeed.

Nothing wrong with sugary with bit of funk, it certainly works here and is an incredibly enjoyable listen Gina:)

Very good song. Great vocal performance, Gina! Nice arrangement that creates harmoinc and rhytmic foundations for the vocal.

What a cool groove Gina, your voice floats real nice over the music👍

one can combine any elements in music ifdone properly,like right here.Sweet funk is also legal.I liked it.

I like this that funk guitar and excellent vocal glad I dropped in to catch up. Your vocal melody carries so well above the music 👍

Great track…..🌍☮︎👍🐞🍀2024

Pigments and Patterns - Quarantine 22

Involutions Spiral

3-3-23
fredrick street studios 
with the congregation on vocals and acoustic bass
coldheart on vocals and guitar

dig

everything old is new again
every story ever told
will be retold again
every note in every scale
have all been sung before
everything old is new once more

show , don't tell
know the rules 
before you break them
yer sunset will be
someone else's dawn

look ma , no hands !
let yer actions
reflect intentions
the more you see it
the more it comes back around

sometimes you dig
to find the silver lining
so dig some stairs
to reach the eden
that's been hiding

you have to live
so dump full buckets
here behind you
sometimes you dig
to let the silver lining find you

dig with the congregation

I think the lyrics pretty much speak for themselves, or was that me?

Well alright!

Best Case Scenario 150 BPM

A cover song, originally by a great band: Morphine

I know you  Pt. II

I know you... (part II) - Morphine

When my songwriting friend Colin Macduff (find his beautiful debut album 'The Past and the Sky" here: https://www.birnamcdshop.com/product/colin-macduff/) shared his poem 'The Rope', I asked if he'd mind if I tried to put a melody to it.

I did. This is the demo version which I'm hoping to record in a studio soon. There's an accompanying video created with footage from my phone: https://studio.youtube.com/video/yhxZxWGo0wY/edit


The Rope

Coiled, crossed, entangled in a corner
Old and wise and silent, silent as a snake
Left aside beside the new, unwanted
You dream of hands, the touch, their grip, their shape

Once you ran the span and moored our vessels
Safe between the capstan, the capstan and the quay
Once you were the rope that held us steady
Once you were the rope that cast us free

The push the pull, the swing, lasso and ladder
The tug of war when we were in our teens
The give, the take, that bound us all together
The start, the end, the knot, the way and means

Life line, last line, frayed and poorly
In my hand your strands so soft, soft and slack
In my dreams you’re running on beside me
With me all the long way – the long way out and back
With me all the long way – the long way out and back

The Rope - Demo

Words & Music Johnny Mc Farlane
Arranged, Performed & Produced Finn Eces

Dedicated to Johnny who, recognizing I'd been offline for a while reached out to see if I was ok. Thanks JD for giving me this great song to work on to help me out of this slump.  I'm delighted with how it's worked out. We're not far off having that album!

Ordinary Guy

A little bit of old school music made with my 4-track that I leave alone more and more, because it is tired (playback heads and recording out of order) and to find some? It's got a lot of miles on it, but it's pretty damn solid, made to last!!!

Funk is not a tried and true genre for us... and this track, though funky in feel is pretty sugary in the vocal... hopefully not too sweet though!
Hope you enjoy :)
I wrote this for my husband - while he was looking for his estranged daughter and trying to connect and make everything ok again. 
It would also do perfectly as an upbeat torch song for girlfriends :)

Healthy Selfishness

Watchglass are a duo. We like exploring 
musical directions and having fun making songs and albums. We have been working as a partnership since 2017, or most of the time since then. Gina is the singer and lyricist. Mark is the guitarist and everything else and makes the songs and is the one who Gina will forever hold responsible for showing her she could not only sing well enough to front a band but also write passable, and sometimes even excellent songs.... Happily we found each other again after a longish split. 

Our 3 albums since reuniting in June 2022 are:

Every Conversation in June - ( featured in Bandcamp’s Best albums of Spring)

Only Watching Clouds. 

Beautiful Dust (also featured in Bandcamp Daily)

￼ Both available on Bandcamp.
