Flue Children's Song

Flute Children's Song - EnigmaCurry Remix

"Over-valence is a notion about possibilities in the human mind, possibilities of something going wrong, that did it not exist it could not be supposed. I mean by this simply that you have to see an over-valent idea at work fully to appreciate it. The older term is idée fixe. Over-valent idea expresses it better, because this is a term derived from mechanics and chemistry and biology; it is a graphic term and it involves the notion of power. The essence of valence is power and that is what I am talking about; I speak of an idea that once it comes into the human mind, the mind, I mean, of a given human being, it not only never goes away, it also consumes everything else in the mind so that, finally, the person is gone, the mind as such is gone, and only the over-valent idea remains."

The song features the fantastic musician @terrywigmore on cello. Thank you so much Terry for joining us here and for giving the song an extra dose of melancholic elegance. 

lyrics:

he has doubts. sometimes.
is she still here? always?
the daily grindstone sometimes thins the skin.
when you're back to back the ocean in her eyes can not be seen.
sometimes.

and then she says

i send you all my love
i send you all my love
you fool

she has doubts. sometimes she doesn't know him.
testiness and tiredness. the ocean in his eyes seems to be
not clear.

and then he says

i send you all my love
i send you all my love
you fool

i send you all my love

Fools (Feat. Terry Wigmore)

Who´s gonna light up the pier when I'm gone
gonna fight out the dark when alone

All these feelings overwhelming me
like waves pulling me back to the sea

why is this peace too hard to find
Im feeling left behind

Put out your hand one for me to hold
start a fire to keep me from the cold

Whos gonna light up the pier when I'm gone
gonna fight out the dark when alone

when I'm gone
when I'm gone
when I'm gone

When Im gone

The Pier

Light up my day
Chase all the nightmares away
Let the sun come out to play
Let there be good news today

Don't hurt me like today 
Give me back all I miss
No more need for restrains
Stop this imprisonment 
Remove my chains
Let there be good news today

Let there be good news today
I wanna hug and hold hands 
At  moonrise
Let's go out and dance
Let there be good news today

Slow down your mind
Leave all your worries behind 
Forget all sorrows you went through 
On this day your dreams come true

Let there be good news today
I wanna hug and hold hands 
At  moonrise
Let's go out and dance
Let there be good news today

Lyrics
All my friends are travellers
We don't often get to meet
But I know they're out there somewhere
And the knowing keeps me sweet

Now some go out in limousines
And some leave on there feet
And I never really feel as if they're gone
No I never really feel as if they're gone

Amanda's like my sister, and she's out there in L.A.
(sung Mahri's like my sister, and she's out in Frisco Bay)
But the wings of love fly straight and true
So we keep in touch that way
Now there's other friends, they're sensitive
I guess they'll use the phone someday
And we watch the wheels of life, keep spinning on
Yes, we watch the wheels of life, keep spinning on

Now the chain of love keeps growing
And the World keeps getting small
And soon there won't be room enough, to seperate us all
When the voice of love grows strong enough
It could break down any wall
And you'll hear it call....you'll hear it call

Now sometimes when I look ahead
I could cry at what I see
Some say it's an easy road
But it never was for me
The damage, is not half undone
And we've all got dues to pay
But we get the help we need, along the way...
Yes the light keeps growing stronger, everyday
Every day Yeh...growing stronger...chain of love...growing stronger

Robert Pollard - one of the greatest songwriters of our time

Subspace Biographies (Robert Pollard cover)

Here we are, in Wales, in another lockdown! 
The best cure for the blues is, of course, loud guitars. So here is another collab from Llanpsych https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych and myself. Fans of Tom Petty may recognise the tune (at least we hope so!).

Tez played all the brilliant guitars and drum track. I rewrote the TP lyric slightly, sang it and added bass. 
We hope you enjoy!

We're In Lockdown

Well, we're in  lockdown
We can't leave the town
I could take you up to Llandridnod Wells
But we're all locked down

I'm standing on my ground
Because we're all homebound
Gotta wear a mask, avoid the beer cask
And we're in lockdown
Can't have my friends around

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've all gone to ground
And I must lock down

Well, I'll wash my hands
And I can't see no bands
We all miss the pub and the restaurant grub
We can't leave the town 
Because we're all homebound
And I must lock down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I've just gone to ground
And I am locked down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I hate lockdown

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've gone to ground
In our Welsh compound

Whoa Don
Where have you gone?

In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on
Baby shake those cakes
Easy bake

Mr. Cornelius
Can’t you see our need for you is serious?
Pick a song and send the dance delirious
Don’t you know you are so
Dear to us
Oh Don Cornelius
Mister hip luxurious
Damn she moves like a snake
Slow motion heartbreak

Here comes the train
Had no idea you were in pain
Should have made our love for you
Much more plain
While you were still
In the frame
Riding the train
Mister Soul champaign
Mister Soul Champaign

Oh look at those shoes
She is the news

Where have you gone?
In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on

Let's Kick Next Year's Ass (Before It Does It Again)

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

I'm not lying I think next year is going to be worse
this year was an ambulance and next year could be a hearse

I'm going into this thing feeling like a blank verse
the only future I can see is looking so perverse

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

I'm not lying I think next year is going to be tough
but I'm not worried, I like the weird stuff

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

Let's Kick Next Year's Ass (Before It Does It Again)

========== Lyrics ==========
In time you come to wait
No pressure down inside
For the gypsy has long time fled
Only fragments stir the mind

Woah, don't you feel it coming
Don't you feel it coming
Here it comes a calling tonight, yeah
Here it comes a calling, and you flinch back like a child

Now down the line, you've erased
Where the rules were never learned
But the senses they rise so fine
And flood your heart again
And you said that you never knew the rhymes
Of the words that were bled
And the codes, they ran out and died
In the caverns of your head

Ohh, don't you feel it coming, don't you feel it coming, don't you feel it coming tonight, yeah
Here it comes a calling, and you flinch back like a child, yeah
Swamping you with all its might, yeah
Feel it coming, swamping you tonight, tonight, tonight
Feel it near tonight....

Ohhh....the morning light
Ohhh...come inside, come inside, yeah,yeah

Woah, don't you feel it coming etc etc etc......

Feel It Coming

Feel It Coming (with Lizzie Taypen)

Lyrics (Translated below):

Jag är den jag är
trasig rädd till besvär
livet hårt och skört
kommer aldrig bli som förut

du vill ej
du vill inte ha 
du vill inte ha mej där
vill inte ha
du vill inte ta på mej mer

du kunde aldrig fullt lita på mej
det verkar aldrig ordna sej
allt fokus blev så skevt
och allt fint vi två upplevt

du vill ej
du vill inte ha 
du vill inte ha mej där
vill inte ha
du vill inte ta på mej mer

du vill ej
du vill inte ha 
du vill inte ha mej där
vill inte ha
du vill inte ta på mej mer
du vill ej
du vill inte kämpa
du vill inte kämpa mer
Jag vill inte längta
vill inte sakna
dej nå mer


GOOGLE TRANSLATION:
I am who I am
broken afraid Im trouble
life hard and fragile
it will never be the same as before

you do not want
you do not want
you do not want me there
you do not want
you do not want to touch me anymore

you could never really trust me
it never seems to work out
all focus became so skewed
and everything nice we two experienced

you do not want
you do not want
you do not want me there
you do not want
you do not want to touch me anymore

you do not want
you do not want
you do not want me there
you do not want
you do not want to touch me anymore
you do not want
you do not want to fight
you do not want to fight anymore
I do not want to long
do not want to miss
you any more

Du vill inte..

You Keep Doing Your Thang  MTM (Feat. Apostles Apprentice)

Had one of those key birthdays that got me looking back to my grade school years. YouTube: https://youtu.be/CUhfFaDry3s
LYRICS...
VERSE1
TV’s were black and white.
Our lives were shades of gray.
Families sat on their porch,
To pass the time of day.
  
Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
TV showed the way.
People rarely questioned what
Our leaders had to say.

CHORUS1
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

VERSE2
Perfect attendance,
Every week at Sunday School.
Dress codes and short haircuts were our education rules.
The town was filled with factories,
Where neighbors worked and sweat.
People actually worried,
‘bout the national debt.

CHORUS2
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

BRIDGE
That we lived, no matter what our call.
To have loved, better than not at all.
Memories of times gone past.
Moments of youth, they can’t last.

VERSE3
Beatles had a new tune.
We landed on the moon.
Dazzled by the rich.
Happiness was coming soon.

Our President was shot,
And then there were more.
Parents didn’t talk about,
The Vietnam war

CHORUS3
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

VERSE4
Walking to school. Riding bikes all day.
Drills crawling under our desk.
Strikes supporting the Union way.
Mom and Dad knew what was best.

Parents born in the depression,
Growing up during World War II.
A better life for their children,
Told anything we want, we could do.

CHORUS4 (2X)
Hey, hey! Sometimes when I remember,
Hey, hey! Could our lives have been better? Hey, hey!

Many thanks to Scilent Symphony (https://soundcloud.com/scilentsymphony) and Tea Are Sea (https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea) for letting me add guitar to their song (https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea/delicate-emotion-scilent-symphony-tea-are-sea), which was not in need of any help, especially not mine. As a great admirer of their work, I'm glad they let this square hang out at their cool people party.

Odyssey (Inst.)

Night Shift

I wrote this song back in 2007, when this single girl lived above my condo. She called the cops on me 13 times over the year and a half that she lived there. The first time, I was just playing an acoustic guitar at 8pm on a Tuesday. She once complained to me that she could hear me talk on the telephone. Come on lady, I'm alive. The cops used to come over so often, we started recognizing each other. I offered them in for a beer on more than one occasion. One of them noticed my Les Paul and told me he had one at home just like it. She had me questioning my life choices on more than one occasion, but come on. Can't make everybody happy all the time...

Screw Up

Can’t feel free, can’t feel at ease
Can’t stop thinking that she can hear me breathe
I’m trapped in my home because she’s sitting all alone
Waiting patiently for the next time that I screw up

I’m such a Screw Up
Hey yeah yeah

I’ll turn it high, I’ll turn it low
I’ll even try to turn her stomping into Morris code
Every time I hear another knock on my door
I get a taste of fear that she can’t take it anymore

I’m such a Screw Up
Hey yeah yeah

Too late too late the cops have shown up again
Too late too late the cops have shown up again
Too late too late the cops have shown up again
If they didn’t have cuffs I would be calling them my friends

I’m such a Screw Up
Hey yeah yeah

Screw Up

Falling Star

In the distant Subert Humlin, Gory Rallagher, Sank Frinatra, and Dats Fomino Galaxies, Her Majesty's Royal Intergalactic Empire is under siege by the sinister Khazargonians and their elite squads of shock troopers- the Jearl Pamians and Goundsardenians. Her Majesty has commissioned an elite force led by her three of Her Majesty's Space Navy's finest officers with several primary objectives, chief among them was the following directive: to combine the great tones of surf and fifties rock... with disco!
These elite officers are:  Admiral Krank of the SS Belgrade (Guitar, bass, beats, intergalactic espionage and assassination by exploding cigars); and Captain Mirth of the SS Zagreb- (Guitar, piano, synth, beats, and advanced thermal detonation). And our very own clockwork man on the drums, Mo Sheen (https://soundcloud.com/user-424452711).  Unfortunately, despite bravely serving Her Majesty's Space Navy, Vice Commandant Dubois has been court martialed and convicted for conduct not befitting an officer and counterfeiting baseball cards, stripped of his command of the SS Budapest, and dishonorably discharged from Her Majesty's Space Navy, though certain recordings of his guitar, synth, bass, beats, and forward deployable laser blasters remain here memorialized for posterity. Let it be known that though he has sunk to the very depths of ignominy, we wish him well in his new venture, the Spandex Spanktroverse.
