Thank you Alise for being so generous with your time and talent and coming to work in my very basic home studio, with ancient gear and an ancient bloke. You helped to make the record exactly what I had imagined. It truely needed a gifted pianists touch and not my rough and heavy mitt's.
Twas a delight spending time with you. 

Heres the actual open mic performance.

The story:
I wrote this song on my acoustic guitar and started to record it that way, but just wasn't getting the vibe as I did when played live. I tried various ways to get it down with the guitar including an electric...nope, nothing happening.
So I  then thought maybe it wants to be a piano song but my wooden, plonkey key skills were not up to the task. About this time I was thinking possibly the song was not that good. Maybe I was feeling the emotion from the lyrics and not the melody. So I decided to play it at the next open mic, along with two other new songs and I asked the audience to pick which to record next. They all said this one.  On the way to sit back down Alise, who I knew was an amazing piano player, said, "Thats a beautiful song". So, I tried my luck and replied, "I'm just not getting it down with the guitar, what the song needs is a classically trained pianist, anyone spring to mind?" Alise smiled and said, "I would love to be involved". I was tickled pink.






Lyrics:
So many of us fall, cause we all heard the call,
to bleed blue and yellow.

For this is our own home, dust will cover our bones, forever,
we'll never concede.

If I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
 if I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
where I once stood.

Keep or children safe, teach them of our bravery.
Death in defiance, we'll never be compliant to invasion,
cause this is our nation.

If I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
 if I can't be found, lightening marks the ground,
where I once stood.

Where I Once Stood

Hazy Ocean

I see you at the break of day
A flash of gold across a bay
I watch you you’re a dolphin riding rail
And then it comes the perfect wave
And balancing you show the way
Your love of life it’s written in your trail 

Hazy Ocean - you wash all over me
And I’m diving after you 
Like the tide follows the moon
Hazy Ocean - your spirit’s phosphorent
And your colour’s vivid blue 
While my love is all for you

You’re always wanting cosmic rhymes
To come and take us for a ride
And when they do it’s reason to believe 
There’s trust in nature’s open door
It lets you know why you were born
Your real life’s the script of other’s dreams

And when you paddle to the shore
You’re reaching out to one and all
You know the truth that happiness is laughter 
And across the night your flame is warm
Your star is up and all adore
They’re crowding round 
They’re hanging from the rafters

No one knows who wrote the nursery rhyme London's Burning. Was it about The Great Fire of London in 1666, did they have fire engine in those days, who knows? (Maybe Joe Strummer).

A big thank you to Jonathan who played both acoustic & electric and did the mixing. He is such a talent!

London’s burning
Fetch the engine pour on water
London’s burning
I tell ya what I think we oughta
Push that fan up to full throttle 
Fill up all our water bottles 
Think that we are in big trouble
Again 
 
London’s burning
Burning here on Friday Street
London’s burning
Listen to the angry heat
Thomas Faryner’s not to blame
It did not start in Pudding Lane
It’s driving cars and aeroplanes
It’s insane 

London’s burning
People jumping off the bridges 
London’s burning
Some are climbing into fridges
I smell smoke
It gets your throat
And it’s no joke

London's Burning (with Jonathan Beckenstein)

This is a cover song that Rekha and I did.  It's a Carpenters track and we held on to most of the original arrangement but took some creative license otherwise 

For me the Carpenters are like John Denver or the 80's hair metal scene - something I enjoy but don't tell just a whole lot of people about.   Doing this one was Rekha's idea and I think she nailed it.   This track is brought to life by her killer performance.  

There's a guitar intro to this thing here.

Another note - I personally want to dedicate this track to my good friend and synth-master Steve Fullyard (@steve-fullyard) who married his lovely bride K very recently. I wish them both all the happiness they can handle.

Cover of We've Only Just Begun by the Carpenters

Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

We've Only Just Begun - w/ Rekha

Lyrics:
I developed a magnetic field containment for the fusion of my emotional particles, and, in the intense delusion of ancient fables and forgotten prayers, I eluded the chaotic viscosity of my life.
The magnetic fragrance of hyperbolic equations forged the golden restraints that ties my astral body to the marble of the altar.
For the Dark Blade of Abstraction fought many wars to achieve His purest journey on the sands of eternity, far from the purple desires and the lust of blood, freed from the sensual tyranny of His Lord. 
I saw twelve Orc Female Warriors carry the swords of remorse and procrastination. Their iron boots crushed the shattered relics of my lost memories. They surrounded the altar and I gazed to my astral double through their lusty eyes. 
O Dark Blade of Abstraction, Your lingering words reverberate in my spine and electrify my sweaty shimmering skin. Your geometrical desire entered my heart long before the swords of remorse. 
The beauty of Your uncanny theorems liquefies the altar, melts my astral body into the ocean of pleasure, merges my senses with the fury of the Orc Warriors, connects my superconductive synapses to the heart of unknown galaxies.   
And I swim in the amniotic fluid of a pulsar. The echoes of my orgasms interfere with the counterpoint of a forgotten fugue. The fragrance of the Orcs’ sweat vanishes in the colourless vibration of time and space. Overwhelmed by the tide of geometrical poetry, I open my thighs to the lust of the music, and feel the ominous chords liquefy the focal centre of my desire. 
And I drink the wine of bliss and oblivion from the cup of Your fractal memories. And I kiss Your marble lips on the shore of eternity, Your quicksilver belly against my polyurethane skin.
