(apologies for being away from SC for a while, looking forward to catching up with all your latest creations...)

Well, I finally finished the full version cover of one of my all time fave songs, In Your Eyes, by Peter Gabriel (previously uploaded only up to the first verse). This is a straight up cover that's as faithful to the original as I could get. It's definitely the most time and meticulous effort I've spent on a song trying to do it justice. All instruments are played by me on keyboard, as well as the live talking drum and spotty singing, and then some backing synth pads and the vital backing vocals by @remnant60 (https://soundcloud.com/remnant60). Bill was also instrumental in giving feedback and offering suggestions, and providing the mastering duties. I'm very grateful for his help, and since we both agree PG's original song is a masterpiece, we have a bit of a surprise remix version coming up that highlights all the layers of sounds that go into this song. Can't wait to share it with you!

I was fortunate to attend the International Health Institute conference in London last month and there were sessions run by a woman so passionate and committed to change to improve the delivery of healthcare to the masses and I thought her partner would be so proud . . .

Eccentricity so Beautiful

While life and limb can shatter          
It’s only hearts that matter - In our world - Darlin’ girl
You’re out there proselytizing.
And it’s so mesmerising - that’s your way – an ordinary day   

Something about you rising up      
Is cutting through my filling heart - it’s only love
On your soap box agent change
With so much to de-arrange - with a blast
            
Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Those rank iconoclasts
Bathe in their master class - impervious - in Ivory towers
Talk as if they’ve got the plan
Line up and shake their hands - feel the grip - the hand of power

You’re raisin’ it from ground up
Changing at the speed of trust – with such feel 
Building leaders everywhere
Co-produce no limit skies – that’s our dream

Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Exhausted but so energized - Trying to catch you in the eye - Need you close. 
I call you aphrodisiac - Hotel room take care of that – 
On that note

ECCENTRICITY SO BEAUTIFUL

Lyric

I wish I could choose 

A lot of things happen in my days
I have come to like myself
Some makes me feel good
Some makes me feel bad
A butterfly is fluttering
A cloud is floating
I wish I could choose 
I wish I could choose
I wish I could choose
I wish I could choose
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
How ever hard it
How ever hard it
I wish I could choose
I wish I could choose

たくさんのことが起こる日々
少しずつ好きになる自分
いくつかはいいこと
いくつかは悪いこと
蝶が羽ばたき
雲が浮かんで
私は選びたい
peace of mind
どんなに大変でも
私は選びたい
どんなに大変でも
Peace of mind
選べるように

The English saying "We're all going to Hell in a hand-cart" just about describes my mood when I wrote "Descent". It was one of those weeks in northern hemisphere Spring 2024 when there was absolutely no good news coming in from anywhere on the planet.

I trust that things will get better!

Descent

A dark electronic soundtrack, exploring inner strength. Journey through an array of intricate synth melodies, grainy amplified piano and guitars, heavy synth bass, haunting vocal elements and blended electronic beats to arrive at the strong place within 💎 
Thanks to Ernest Hemingway, who said "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." 
Never give up 🤍

To What Extent

Strong At The Broken Places

"1986.
What were your parents like before you were born?
Yuri, the factory worker.
Yelena, a literature graduate.
First met in school, they then moved together to a house on the edge of town.
Gomel was their Eden, perfect place to raise a family.
Until one fateful day.
It was a rumble, a southern gale.
Rumours of a disaster made them leave their home.
A year later, Masha was born".

Here's another track from our new album .... https://kirby-ward.bandcamp.com/album/rat-palace-sessions
The Rat Palace was our studio from when we first started seriously working together in 2016 until the landlords decided it was time for the artists to go and the tourists to come. It had been Mat's base since 2009 and hosted dozens of artists and musicians since it first started in 2006.
As the name suggests the place was run down, lacked various things like hot water, proper access and heating but it had a vibe, and the people we shared the space with all felt and helped to create it....Art was everything, day after night after day for years.
These 7 improvisations are a tiny fraction of the jams we had there, just a few highlights from 100s of jams. They are raw, unpolished and unconcerned with anything outside the moment. We rarely 'rehearsed' as such at the Rat Palace - just played.
Things come and things go - Vale Rat Palace, you were amazing.

The mighty baritone rides again. 😎


I never wanted to push the boat out
Give you pie in the sky
I didn't promise I'd be perfect
I'm not that guy

I'd rather be cool than a danger
Risking all I see
Better a fool than an angel
Is all I want to be

I didn't promise I'd be good
Not guilty of that crime
I do things I shouldn't do
Happens all the time

Please be good to me
Don't get on my back
I'm weak and I'm a fool
Cut me some slack

I'd rather be cool than a danger
Risking all I see
Better a fool than an angel
Is all I want to be

Better A Fool

If I Wanted Too  (Bronux/Conover)

So Funky - Paploviante

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.
