The melody creates an enjoyable groove :)

Old and cynical is stamped on my passport. Not that I ever go anywhere.....cause Im to Old and cynical! I wouldnt say its pop, alt country folk maybe? Whatever, which ever, a great listen. But then if you have wonderful guitar work and your fab voice, its always going to be just that.

maybe we get cynical because we get old despite looking on the bright side and thinking "No that won't happen"   This is an absolutely lovely tune and performance.  I'm sure I invoked Sandy Denny before but gonna do it again--this feels so instantly classic and anthemic.

lovely piece , you have a wonderful voice Gina :-)

Great vocal and wonderful track! 👍👍

Discovering that your website has been compromised by malware is an unsettling experience. However, it's crucial to act swiftly to protect your site's integrity and the sensitive data of your visitors. In this article, we will explore effective and free methods to remove malware from your website. From conducting a thorough malware scan to cleaning up your hacked WordPress website, we've got you covered.

Conduct a Website Malware Scan: 
The first step in removing malware from your website is to identify its presence. Utilize reliable website malware scanners such as Sucuri SiteCheck or VirusTotal. These tools will examine your website for known malware signatures, malicious code injections, and other potential security vulnerabilities.

Backup Your Website: 
Before proceeding with any malware removal, it's crucial to create a complete backup of your website. This precautionary measure ensures that you have a clean version of your website to revert to in case anything goes wrong during the removal process.

Identify the Malware: 
After scanning your website, carefully review the scan results to identify the specific malware infecting your site. Note any affected files, suspicious code injections, or unauthorized access points. This information will help you target the malware and remove it effectively.

Remove Malicious Code: 
Manually remove the identified malware from your website by thoroughly examining your website's files. Look for suspicious code injections, unfamiliar files or directories, and any other anomalies. Remove all infected files and replace them with clean backups or fresh installations.

Strengthen Website Security: 
Prevent future malware attacks by fortifying your website's security. Update your content management system (CMS), themes, and plugins to their latest versions to patch any known vulnerabilities. Use strong and unique passwords for all user accounts, and consider implementing two-factor authentication for added security.

Scan for Backdoors: 
Hackers often leave backdoors on compromised websites, providing them with future access even after the malware is removed. Conduct a thorough scan of your website to locate any hidden backdoors and eliminate them. Look for unauthorized user accounts, unfamiliar FTP accounts, or any suspicious PHP files.

Harden WordPress Security: 
If you are running a WordPress website, take additional steps to secure your site. Install security plugins such as Wordfence or Sucuri Security and configure them to scan your website regularly for malware. Implement a website firewall to block malicious traffic and enable real-time threat monitoring.


Regularly Monitor and Update:
Website security is an ongoing process, and regular monitoring is essential to prevent future malware infections. Monitor your website's logs, review security reports, and stay informed about the latest security threats and best practices. Update your CMS, themes, and plugins promptly to ensure you have the latest security patches.
Conclusion: 
Removing malware from your website is a challenging task, but it's crucial to protect your website's reputation and the safety of your visitors. By following these free methods, you can effectively remove malware from your website and prevent future attacks. Remember to conduct regular scans, strengthen your website's security, and stay vigilant to safeguard your online presence from potential threats.

MON GRAND-PÈRE (Lyrics)

Very light, sweet piece of pop this... not recommended if you're feeling old and cynical... or then again maybe it will be just what the doctor ordered, not that being old or cynical is a disease of any kind, no.

This is song 4 on our upcoming album which will be released 22/05/23. Get it on Bandcamp. :)

This is a story that takes place post World War II in which a migrant farm worker has an unexpected love affair with the landowner's wife. Since the lyrics are difficult to make out, I have posted them below. Thank you for listening. Without you, there's no music at all. 

THE WINDMILL

And the day has come for barley and rye
Gold sunset rests in the field
Haven't come home, heart of steel

Fog clearing from her mind
All the time, will take time
Eternity

Shadows tell him he's lost his mind
Seasons change before her eyes
A tragedy

Whilst the wind blow upon that bluff
A brazen key
The beast that pulls the plow
A calm reprieve

The eyes, they locked the door
The barn, love's web will weave
Haven't even talked
Knees trembling gently

Passing through this time and place
How would I know?

The Windmill 🐄

Written for the Summer 2023 Triplicate Records compilation album 'Music for Magnolia Trees'. The entire album is an amazing ride!

Penumbra

This is what happens when you let an ace producer get hold of a track; he transforms it:)  The song was originally dedicated to my son-in-law Marshall who is a law and order type of guy.  Special thanks to Seagull @farout-music-studio for taking what started as a jam session with superb guitarist Curtis Gremmel and elevated to celestial heights with a little help from Clara.  
An additional note: we just come to learn that "Space Marshals" was a popular video game eight years ago and apparently still is given the large number of listens.  I'm not a "gamer" but appreciate all who are who have given this music a listen:)

The Glories of Our Blood and State
by James Shirley (1659)

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against Fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Sceptre and Crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.

Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill:
But their strong nerves at last must yield;
They tame but one another still:
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to death.

The garlands wither on your brow;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds!
Upon Death's purple altar now
See where the victor-victim bleeds.
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb:
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.

The Glories of Our Blood and State by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi

"Dino Steps" (edit: Mastered with iZotope Ozone on 25 September, 2023)

Here is a song which - despite it being played in minor key - was originally meant to tell a story of a celebration! You see, I recently got a chance to get a new electric piano sound library and especially a new lovely Dyno Rhodes sound which I so dearly love and which I believe to have been listening to all my life on countless of records and songs. So, I sat down, started to play and here is the end result. The sound, beauty and expressiveness of Dyno-My-Piano modification of Rhodes electric piano never ceazes to amaze me. You can play almost anything with it. The name of the song "Dino Steps" was partly related to that "Dyno" sound but also came to be as a reminder of the known fact that sometimes in life a step that seems small can be or mean a giant step. Finally, the name also came to be as a wish from a certain private party (that is, a certain natural person:) who happens to love dinosaurs.

The song was played by me using my old Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a midi keyboard and the Yamaha Montage 8 as a audio interface. The main electric piano sound here is the lovely Dyno Rhodes sound from the wonderful Dyno Expansion of the Neo-Soul Keys Studio 2 by Gospel Musicians (cf. Dyno-My-Piano), added with some MKS-20 type of keyboard sounds (UVI Key Suite Digital) and the Scarbee EP-88S. Then there is the iconic Marcato Strings sound from the UVI Emulation II+ (cf. Emu Emulator). The drums are the Native Instruments Abbey Road 1980s Drummer (with a layered Linndrum snare and a layered 808 type of kick). Then I have a Moog type of bass sound (UVI Ultramini, Arturia Mini-V) and the pad/horns from the UVI "PX memories" (cf. Memorymoog). 

The wonderful lead sound is a lead sound from the DX7 (Syn-Lead1h, converted to Yamaha Montage by Hideo Harada, Kamoda Music).

“Gina, the new album is amazing. You are such a wonderful, wonderful artist. You and Mark really compliment each other - it sounds like you just lie down in his soundscapes. Your lyrics are fantastic. Wow!” - Ben Fogarty (fan)

Hello, thankyou for stopping by! If you had a listen and liked what you heard, the best way to help us forward in the great sea of music would be to follow us on Bandcamp if you possibly can.... really depends on whether you have a Bandcamp account. If you can't then we still very much appreciate a show of love here in the form of likes, comments and re-posts... thank you very much for these :) <3 
Watchglass are a duo who 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 4 albums since reuniting in June 2022 are:

Every Conversation in June 
“The album plays out like one long, slightly spooky fairy tale…A magic spell drifting in from lands unknown, Every Conversation in June is a quiet marvel.” - JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Only Watching Clouds. 

Beautiful Dust-
“delightfully enigmatic pop songs built from enchanting melodies and eternal optimism.” - Ben Salmon (Bandcamp Daily)
“as hushed and evocative as a ghost story whispered around a campfire.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

Raw Colours 
“It’s another irresistible album from a band that gets better with each go-round.”- JE Keyes, Chief Editor Bandcamp Daily

All available on Bandcamp.
