Lyrics:
You like New York City and I like Tennessee
And all this hustle bustle it’s just not for me
Best of intentions It ain’t no one’s fault
I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

All your fancy friends and those prancy things they say
No uncertain terms I’m standing in your way
Best of intentions It ain’t no one’s fault
I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

Autumn’s come and gone
Long enough to know
Time for me to go

My trains leavin’ early so I’m gonna go ahead and say goodbye
Your lips say don’t go but your eyes say that’s a lie
Best of intentions It ain’t no one’s fault
I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

I’m going back to Nashville cause that’s where I belong

Going Back To Nashville

Mnemosyne (factual mix)

can’t be empty

Wait another day
To say goodbye
Just choose another face
And give it anohter try

Though I know your battle is at it's end
I am not oke losing a friend

Now I keep on wishing 
For you
To see the sun
One more time
And then the moon

One more time
One more day
To stay

I know you said,
That you wanne stay
But not in the way,
You are today

That is why it's better to say goodbye
That is what you told me, that last time

Now I keep on wishing 
For you
To see the sun
One more time
And then the moon

One more time
One more day
To stay

Goodbye - Original Song

Our awesome Japanese friend Tot. (@tot-beat, @user-288513022) was on the drums and bass - thanks again so much for working with us on this fun song, Tot.~ We had a blast!

Art by Masha using Prismacolor Coloured Pencils, which were an amazing gift from @katyasolo. Cheers for that, Katya!

Synth work by Rob Ulysses (@rob-ulysses) and Masha Solo (@masha-solo) Masha also wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals.

This song's story is that one day, Rob & Masha were doing deliveries for a summer-long job in 2021 when Masha spotted an old 60s van in a junkyard and snapped a quick photo, later the two of them making the event into a full song with the help of Tot.

At the same time as Tot. was working on a drum and bass conga style beat but he had no other parts, Rob & Masha were already working on synth parts and a fun chiptunes solo, but they had no drums! So when they heard each other's work in progress, it was only natural that they combined the two into a sort of Farewell To Summer song from their vivid summer memory.

This track is remixable, as long as it's noncommercial.

Lyrics:

Swag And a Bag

Once in my travels, two summers past,
I was on a long road trip for work around Oz,
On country roads, with sugarcane vast,
I saw something that made me drive back and pause,
I saw something that made me drive back and pause...

It really caught my eye,
And I still don't really know why!
But I had to take a photo,
Before I went back to work

It was just this really old van!

In an old junkyard, full of wildflowers, tropical brush,
(And although my job demanded I rush)
I saw that there was an old 60’s van that had seen better days,
It looked like it had seen so many sights, although now decays

(It was just this really old van!)

Before I moved on, I snapped a photograph,
On the side it said something that made me laugh (hah)
“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph
x2

I wondered who had once owned it and why,
If it was for tourists, who’d used it nearby,
What kind of adventures it had been on,
Even though its road trip days were gone
x2

I didn't even really know what 'Swag and a Bag' would mean,
I had to look it up.
But apparently it's really lucky-
It's like when something really good happens to you.
And I found that message positive.

“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph

“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph!

...And I found that message positive.

Swag And A Bag

Swag And A Bag ft. Tot.

This song sprung out of a practice session, with the lyrics, especially the first verse, just tumbling out.
It's another love song for my partner.  Can't seem to stop writing them, but that's how much she means to me.  Will be more worried if I stop writing them.  
Hope you enjoy it.

Rapid Rivers (Blazing Across My Mind)

There's a fantastic 70s leaning pop-rock album  Ticket to Shangri-La  released in 2023 (Young Gun Silver Fox) with a song called Starting Wars. I miss heard and mis-read the title as Starling Wars which seemed a great metaphor for something. It could have applied to a relationship - but the 2 wars going on became the theme

Starling Wars

You fly in to foul my nest 
Seeing red I puff out my chest
Aiming at your catacombs
Dropping all my guano bombs
Flit across and I peck at you
Cause my beliefs are the only truth
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

I ruffle your feathers
You think that you’re better
Ethnically superior
The plumage of an emperor
Gonna peck my eye’s right out
Squawk about it loud and proud
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

Em7 Dma7 Ami7 G Bb/C F F#m7 B

Underneath there’s the dove of peace
Peeking out at the busy streets
I Wrap your eggs neath protective wings
Drop a flower confess my sins
Fleeting thought it just flies away
Revenge is sweet gonna make you pay
Starling wars it’s about pecking order 
Starling wars gonna bomb your son and daughter

STARLING WARS

A beautiful sparrowhawk descends - alas it can be a death sentence for one of our much loved songbirds drawn to the garden feeders....a bird lover's dilemma.....

FULL INSTRUMENTAL!

“The Way” started with a piano melody and kept unfurling as I healed from the loss of a few loved ones last year…which was capped off with my beautiful family dogs both passing. The lyrics to this song took on their loss, but the whole thing is really an open entry from my own grief process through to happiness again.

The Way [Instrumental]

Nat wrote this beautiful song some time ago inspired by some of the greatest love stories of the world, including her own, and we have slowly worked on a properly produced final version where she will sing the lead. But inspired by the song myself, I decided to record my own simplified version just as a “Voice Memo” on my i-phone. Nat loved it and it hung around as we continued to look toward the piano based version with Nat’s lead vocal. But with Valentine’s Day nearly upon us and little time to make a major production effort, she decided to sing along to my rough, live recording and this is what we have to offer. The bigger version will follow but, for now, we wish all who aspire to love, a very Happy Valentine’s Day 2024!

Lyrics: When The Angels Cried

I never thought I'd ever find you, 
My heart was broken, so full of doubt, 
But heaven knew what we had been through, 
Fate led you in, as I walked out..   

And in that moment, somehow, I knew, 
I found my home when I found you...     

That's when the Angels cried  
When our souls found their truth...   
And when we stood there face to face, 
And finally said the words " I do"...    
That's when the Angels Cried 

The Angels light the dark and lonely
(The Angels.. light the dark...)
They guide the brave, and lead the true..
They lift our souls, with an awesome choir
And bring us hope, more than I knew
Our Angels searched the whole world through
To join our souls in perfect love for two ..

That's when the Angels cried  
When our souls found our truth...   
And when we stood there face to face, 
And finally said the words " I do"...    
That's when the Angels cried 

There’ll be times we’ll be indifferent
(For better...  For worse... Oh Let be your guide)
And times we wont see eye to eye
(To have and to hold...)
But at night, behind drawn curtains
(Oh My love..)
The love that shines inside us just wont let us die..

We’ll hear the Angels cry 
(In your eyes I'll see..)
As our love finds our truth.
And if the world comes to an end
We’ll meet in Heaven once again ....
And our Love will make the Angels cry…

LYRICS

Verse 1
Shadows on the sidewalk, faces made of stone
Nobody’s reachin’ out, everyone’s alone
Hearts turned cold, eyes turned blind
Can’t see the truth in this world of mine

Pre-Chorus
We’ve traded love for empty pride
Turned our backs and closed our eyes

Chorus
In the mist, we’re losin’ who we are
Chasin’ hollow dreams, forgettin’ every scar
Life’s a price tag hangin’ on a string
Cheap and easy, don’t mean a thing
Yeah, we fade like whispers that don’t exist
Wanderin’ blind… in the mist

Verse 2
Used to be a neighbor’s hand could pull you through
Now it’s every man alone, nothin’ left to do
Voices shout, but no one hears
Drownin’ out the cries, buryin’ the tears

Pre-Chorus
Kindness lost on city streets
Where silence swallows every plea

Chorus
In the mist, we’re losin’ who we are
Chasin’ hollow dreams, forgettin’ every scar
Life’s a price tag hangin’ on a string
Cheap and easy, don’t mean a thing
Yeah, we fade like whispers that don’t exist
Wanderin’ blind… in the mist

Bridge

What’s it worth if we don’t feel?
If mercy’s gone, what’s left that’s real?
The fire dies when hearts don’t burn
A broken world that never learns

Breakdown/Chorus
In the mist, we’re losin’ who we are
Driftin’ further, fallin’ hard
Life’s a shadow slippin’ through our hands
Forgot the meaning, forgot the plan
Yeah, we fade like whispers that don’t exist
Wanderin’ blind… in the mist

Outro
No love left to resist
We’re blind, we’re lost… in the mist.

In the Mist
