Always one of my favourite DS tracks. Your delivery really captures the sense of fun that makes it such a great song.

It's a song from my teenage years and it's very dear to me... so many memories... very beautiful harmonization and interpretation, Neil!

Sounds great! I use Ableton myself, and love it, also a huge Smiths fan, Moz not so much lol

Thanks for Likes and Follow. Yes, I find Ableton really good for recording my musical musings. The Smiths & early Morrissey are timeless masterpieces in my humble opinion, not so much his later stuff or his later questionable opinions.

Nice paired down lo-fi rendition with lots of DIY poppy energy

GOING THROUGH THE NOTIONS

291. song 2 (blur).mp3

I met a girl in Spain
I was only seventeen
She told me her name
It sounded like a dream 

We talked into the night
That everything's alright
But I don't know
I didn't know, I didn't know the scene 

We went down to the beach
My friend was with her friend
We chatted easily
Well, until the night, it did end 

But when we talked about bands
I did not understand
Her knowledge exceeded mine
Now I cringe to the end of time 

I didn't know 
Who Lou Reed was 
How could I not know 
who Lou Reed was?
Was I living behind a curtain 
like the wizard of OZ
I was such an imbecile
Time to get real
Despite her incredulous look
Surely it was 
not such a big deal

Lyrics:
Voices that have never silenced
Now the choir will swell again
Never thought that it could happen
But it seems we make the same mistakes again.

Don't wanna se they're just liars
Don't wanna see what is to come
Don't wanna see the misery that came on us back 80 years ago.

All falls down, the time is nigh
All falls down, a time to cry
All falls down, but we are rising
Standing tall until we die.

We'll never sit and watch
Never let them grow again
We don't fear that shaved-head scum
Nor the police that is always on their side.

They want you to be a slave
Even more than you are now
They will set the land on fire
When you burn down, noone cares you never learn.

All Falls Down

The British press killed my family
Yes they did, yes they did
As if they cut them with a Stanley
Yes they did, Yes they did 

Corporations killed democracy
Yes they did, yes they did
"Rolling" news blinds our faculties
With bullshit, bullshit 

"Reporters" tell themselves
It's not their fault, not their fault
They ruin lives, so what
Just an unfortunate assault 

On the lives of the poor
But they don't count, they don't count
"If I don't do it someone else will
And helping the poor don't pay the bill
They don't have the clout
They're worth nowt" 

And they are right
They are right
Unless we change the system
They are right 

The public killed my daughter
Yes they did, yes they did
Her dinghy sank in the water
Yes it did, yes it did 

Foaming at the mouth
With their daily hate in hand
With the TV & phone telling them not to take a stand
They scream at anyone who is different
They scream and hate and kill 

Because it suits the corporate agenda 
To be a big spender
And distrust helps divide 
And take people for a ride.


307. the british press killed my family (harding).mp3

We're spitting out lyrics with aplomb
There's an 8 track studio in my home
I walk my dog and when I'm done
I wash the car and go for a run 

Cos I'm a hardcore suburban man
With a balding head
And a fading tan
My wife retired at 51
When we sold our souls for a campervan 

I got an easy life
An easy life at your expense

I dream of pensions and good deals
And trading shares and meals on wheels
I don't know where the money's from
But I know it's not from work I've done 

You see, we invested in property
When we already owned loads anyway
And now we don't need to do any work
It's our tenants who have to sell their shirts 

To pay for us to do what we like
And we tell THEM to "get on their bike"
Cos we never tire of telling others
To work hard, to fill our coffers

„Dünengeflüster“ (02.08.2023 )

Der Klang der Wüste. Die flüsternde Stille der Natur die Dir etwas zu erzählen hat.
Du bist ein Sandkorn in der unendlichen Weite der Wüste.

Der Wind verweht Dich kleines Sandkorn. Du bist nichts, die Wüste ist alles.
Sie verschlingt Dich. Du bist kleiner als ein Insekt. Wanderst von Düne zu Düne.

Höre das zarte flüstern der Düne. Lausche achtsam dem heißen Wüstenwind „Calima“ was er Dir zu erzählen hat.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Dune Whisper" (08/02/2023 )

The sound of the desert. The whispering silence of nature that has something to tell you.
You are a grain of sand in the vastness of the desert.

The wind blows you little grain of sand. You are nothing, the desert is everything.
She devours you. You are smaller than an insect. Walk from dune to dune.

Hear the soft whisper of the dunes. Listen carefully to what the hot desert wind “Calima” has to tell you.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Dune Whisper

i wanna redo the vocals <3

lyrics :D

sixteen to sixty (x7)

one day I wish I can be that clean
one day I’d like to be that clean

sweet sixteen
stepped in the dirt
sweet sixteen
tits down to earth

one day I wish to be that clean
one day I wish
one I’ll be that clean

sixteen to sixty 
sixteen to sixty 
sixteen to sexy

60 (interlude)

Cool days

Folk indie punk singer songwriter, guitars, keyboard. Jordan Watkins co-wrote 7 songs and plays guitars on those songs (as attributed).

Putting my stuff out there "where funk meets punk"- using dynamic Shure SM58 microphone and ableton 11 live recording software. Hohner Strat, Epiphone ES339 guitar, Hohner harmonica and yamaha keyboard E463.

Fave bands - L7, Lemonheads, Fat Tulips, Joy Division, Strawberry Story, The Smiths, Shonen Knife, Sex Pistols, Heavenly, The Fall, Slits, Bhundu Boys, Vaselines, The Pastels, Teenage Fanclub, Shalewambe, Jonah Moyo, Billy Bragg, Felt, Velvet Underground, Jeffrey Lewis, Jimi Hendrix....plus loads of other stuff.

Thanks in particular to Damian Smith and the Journeymen, QB Bills and The Strums for getting me into the Soundcloud community, and John Stone for listening from the start, and all those great musicians around the world listening in. Wonderful that music that didn't even exist a day, or even hours ago gets to go around the world. Always brilliant to be amongst the first to hear new stuff.

Remember, inconsistency means, even if one track is dodgy, the next might be a masterpiece. Keep listening folks, and keep making great music.
