LITTLE FURRY DESPOT and the PUMPKINS of DOOM

Jackson 5 ABC groove with funky and distorted guitar with a song about keeping it simple (Epicurus 341 - 270 BC)

Lyrics

Keep it Simple Epicurus (341–270 BC)
I live a simple life
The pain of failure isn’t worth the strife
Success is not a lure for me
Why fret when it might not be.

Chorus
I was not
I’m no longer there
I am not and I do not care

I don’t fear for my death
I’ll be gone with my last breath
I will have had my time 
To worry more would be a crime


Keep it simple free from stress
It gets better when you do less
Chance are you dreams won’t come true
So, relax and have a brew

Why dwell on the future, 
Live for now, it’ll be cooler
Just enjoy what you have in life
Chance for fun will be rife

Keep It Simple (Epicurus 341 - 270 BC)

Riffy, Gruff Vocals about how life i supposed to be nasty.

Lyrics: Nasty, Brutal and Short (Hobbes)

Are you strong enough, 
are you hard enough,
Can you protect what you own
Who can you trust, who is really your friend
Who will help you defend
I bring order, 
I bring peace,
But you must follow my laws

Chorus
Life is brutal and short, lonely and dark
You need my support to stay alive,
When you are on your own it is nasty and cruel
So, kneel and obey my rule

I can help you
I can protect you 
You must pledge to my rule

I’ll be your master 
I’ll be your lord
You must obey without thought

If you not with me 
you must be against me
So the choice is all yours.

Nasty, Brutal and Short (Hobbes (1588 - 1679)

What if we all behaved like that! (Kant 1724-1804)

A depressing Jazzy Blues Rock song about the futility of life and that we are Doomed To Be Free

"Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does." Jean-Paul Sartre believed that human beings live in constant anguish, not solely because life is miserable, but because we are 'condemned to be free'

Doomed To Be Free (Sartre 1905-80)

So What if you say something  that doesn't make a practical difference. If nothing hangs on the answer what is the point in saying it!

So What! (James 1842 - 1910 & Pierce 1839 - 1914)

We all have hidden desires - some are okay, but others....

Hidden Rooms (Freud 1856 - 1939)

A non-singer songwriter! Writing a series of songs (Double Album) about western philosophy and philosophers while trying to keep them rockin'. These song explore western philosophy inspire by Nigel Warburton's Book "A Little History of Philosophy" and I started writing them to aid my poor muddle memory.

Picked up the Electric Guitar during lockdown after 20 years and haven't looked back - why did I put it away!

Looking at recruiting a proper singer and other band members to make live music once again.

Writing music and playing guitars (inc bass) keeping me sane in a mad world!

Main influence is 70s Rock, but into blues, soul, funk and jazz. I also play the spanish guitar classical guitar and dabble with the ukelele!

Drums provided by Roland "The Boss"

All songs recorded mainly in my kitchen on a Boss BR 80 and refined/remixed (badly) on Audacity!

What if we all behaved like that! (Kant 1724-1804)
