And so to a perhaps slightly different outcome of a number of considerations we discussed when we made "Mother Syria" ten months ago.....

Where was the cradle of life for humanity?
What was the first language?
What was the first written language?
What did the first cultures look like?
Did they arise in the East...or West....or in the middle of....Hmmm.

Yes, scholars dispute that.
And it is likely to continue like this, since no absolute proof has been presented, only assumptions, interpretations, etc. of the small findings made of previous existences of human presence.
Yes, technology and research possibilities are constantly developing, but it is probably quite far-fetched that we will finally get a complete and credible account.

I personally believe that life started in many different places on our planet, and at about the same time, when some important factors needed to be fulfilled, such as where the conditions and surroundings were generally favorable for human life to sprout, grow and develop, on a planet in constant development. In a time course that is almost incomprehensible, and which has been influenced by factors in the space we are in, which we do not really understand either.

So this little piece of music doesn't give you any answers, but perhaps gives you a moment of contemplation on the questions. ;)

St Oswald's Church sits in a field up on the Hadrians Wall. It looks out over the cheviots and beyond into Scotland. It's very exposed and the weather can change quickly. The clouds roll across usually from the West and it is just a lovely spot.
I have tried to capture the church and the cemetery, the borders and Northumberland and Cumberland with just a bit of church.
Apologies to people who commented and liked this track as I deleted it in a diva like moment when I couldn't stand my terrible piano playing. It's better now after a cup of tea and a lie down :>))

lyrics

You feel that itch 
I know you do
I can feel it too
We should be talking in the sun
Not in the night when things are dark

You feel that itch I know you do
Darling, I want to be next to you
Like the way it was when we were young and free

Don't worry 
Don't worry bout me
Don't worry 
Don't worry bout me
Cuz I worry bout you
Yes I do
You know I do

I see the looks they give me
The pity 
but i know it's true
They don't need to worry bout me
They should worry bout you
Worry bout you
They should worry bout you

They should worry bout you
Worry bout you
They should worry bout you

Worry Bout You

Surprise, surprise! 🫢 Here’s a version of our “November Blues” that’s as unexpected as it is imperfect (recorded, "produced", and ..."mixed"😂 in a couple of hours, if not less), released exactly one year ago (https://soundcloud.com/beatingedge/november-blues). Now you can listen to it in a kind of unplugged version… complete with a (..just for a change) post-song idiot fail!
Love you all!🫶

At the moment, this track is exclusively available on SoundCloud.
Released on November 15, 2025.

Lyrics:

Old man with his beard so long
Grumbling like he's got a wrong song
Every November he's feeling down
You'd think there was no joy to be found

Walking streets with furrowed brow
He's got a secret but not for now
Smoke from the chimney fills the air
But he just sits back in his chair

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum

Neighbors smile and wave hello
He nods back but his heart's in woe
December's creeping like a ruthless thief
Stirring up his hidden grief

Kids with their letters and hopeful eyes
Unaware of his deep disguise
He hates November for what it brings
And all that shiny Christmas bling

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum

November blues they grip him tight
Haunted dreams in the silent night
He abhors the season that's yet to come
Till he’s numb and glum

November Blues Unplugged

Fernweh, or Wanderlust
A waterfall of longing flows within my heart.
I want to travel far away. Far away, anywhere.
When I wake up from my reverie, the reality is
the echoing sound of a synthesizer.
I can't go anywhere.
Or maybe I'm already traveling deep into the forest.
