Fabulous instrumentation and composition!

The exceptional guitar work first got my attention quickly followed the multi-layered splendor of production and captivating musical themes.  This is stunningly good.

Hey man, love that driving rhythm section that gives way to the gnarly bass in the intro section. Brilliant guitar work in here, with gorgeous melodies and hooky lines. This song is full of magic, man! Love it!

Love all the different places this caravan brings me to!

Daily Drops

1 track of acoustic guitar and a doubled midi track of the same...

This is probably the last of a bunch of tracks I recorded a few weeks ago in an afternoon...

A thieving from Nathan Ehrnman's track "Flint"
https://nathaniel-ehrnman.bandcamp.com/album/tread-lightly

He had (I think) 3 tracks of various guitars, I added 2 guitar tracks, a field recording of a thunderstorm, and made 2 midi tracks of Nathan's tracks and converted those to both LABS and Alchemy (@pple's version, not the original one)
Oh, and some vocalizer tracks...

There's a cold wind
blowing through me
And my thoughts
ain't so tender

I'd always hoped
you'd reconsider
But your lies
flowed like a river

You're just a digger
you're just a taker
And now my thoughts
ain't so tender

I ain't whistlin
past no graveyard
I ain't standin
neath no ladders

I'm just waitin
shotgun and D-ought
For you and him
to just step out

And I'm not carin
what comes after
I'm not caring
if I get caught

You won't be
lying anymore
You'll just be
lying in the cold

Lyrics:

In the heart of the tribe
We all unite
Children of the sun
We shine so bright
Together we stand
Side by side
Sharing love and hope
The world will ignite

Like the drum that beats
Our spirits fly
Guided by the rhythm
We reach the sky
Weaving a tapestry of colors and dreams
Every life connected
In this grand theme

The life of a child belongs to everyone
It's a thread that weaves us
We are not alone
We share together
Hand in hand
In this tribe of life
We'll forever stand

As the drum resounds
Our souls take flight
Guided by the rhythm's sound
We reach the sky's height
Weaving dreams in vibrant hues
Every life connected

The life of a child belongs to everyone
It's a thread that weaves us
We are not alone
We share together
Hand in hand
In this tribe of life
We'll forever stand

The life of a child belongs to everyone
It's a thread that weaves us
We are not alone
We share together
Hand in hand
In this tribe of life
We'll forever stand

Caravan

Most of my songs come to me just before I fall asleep or just after I wake up. My brain's in a place of peace, quiet and openness at that time, I guess

Dream Come True


In a dream
she came to me
Claimed my heart
so easily

Sent me reeling
Barely breathing
Bedazzled me

Swept me up
in loving arms
with a dash of
magic charms

Helpless feeling
with no ceiling
God's majesty

I can't find
the words to say
to explain
that fateful day

The thunder rolled
All doubts did fold
Might seem a bit cliche

I was taken for a ride
I got to glimpse
the other side

A place of wonder
Unencumbered

It's true

Love came that day

You have made me happy Baby
Everything you freely gave me

Opened up my eyes
What a sweet surprise
You've blown me away

I will start this very day
to show you
in every way

All my love for you
For my whole life through

You're my dream come true

I love you!

You're the one. I always knew
I love everything you do

With you time just flies
Never cloudy skies

You're my dream come true

I am yours from this day on
We have found a magic bond

that no one here can take
A bond that will not break

You're my dream come true

You and I we got it all
River wide and mountain tall

We will find our way
and cherish every day

You're my dream come true

 All I know is
you have made me happy Baby
Everything you freely gave me

opened up my eyes
What a sweet surprise

You're my dream come true

I love you!

Dream Come True

■概要(Overview)
熱すぎて溶けてしまうくらいの情熱を持てたらいいね。
PrivateからPublicへ熱心に大名行列する。
I wish I could be so passionate that I would melt.
An enthusiastic procession of feudal lords from private to public.

■video

※あまり動かないですわ

「溶けるくらいに」Let's get passionate

溶けてしまうくらいに
打ち込めるものがあれば
それだけでいいわ

十二時を過ぎたころに
アタマにあふれる「I hate you.」
傷つけあうのはもうやめて
心を解放したならば今

幾重にも重なる
合わせ鏡の迷路
本物は自分だけ
燃えるように　溶けてる


好きなものをいくつか
そばに置いておけたなら
それだけでいいわ

人づての言葉信じ
正義の仮面で「I hate you.」
傷つけあうのはもうやめて
好きなものだけそばに置いていて

幾重にも重なる
合わせ鏡の迷路
映し出されたものは
燃えているか　溶けているか

■Lyrics
If there is something I can devote myself to so much that it melts, that's enough.

After midnight, the words "I hate you" flood my head.
Stop hurting each other. If you free your heart, now.

Labyrinth of mirrors overlapping one after another. The only real thing is yourself.
Melting like it's burning.

If I could just keep a few of the things I like close by, that's enough.

People who believe the words of others who don't know the truth and say "I hate you" under the mask of justice.
Stop hurting each other. Keep only the things you like close by.

Labyrinth of mirrors overlapping one after another. Is the reflected thing burning or melting?

Ignite your passion(溶けるくらいに)

It's a song about those moments when the world amazes me- when the beauty and mystery of the world around me knocks me over.
Specifically, wandering back from the Old Town in Hastings after a couple of drinks on a lovely Summer night. The picture is one of my lino prints and shows Tackleway in Hastings, along with one of the badgers we see all the time round here, and are mentioned in the song.

Sorry folks,I posted this public accidentally because I hadn't finished tweaking. The track my change a bit in the coming days!

I see you coming after me
Always playing dirty
Your single mission in this life
Is to try to hurt me

You make me really want to hate you all the way
In my head under my skin
Everything you say

Too hot to handle but I can't let go
I'm afraid what you may be
I'm a rabbit in the headlights you know
You'll be the death of me

You make me really want to hate you all the way
In my head under my skin
Everything you say

Fire in your eyes no disguise
Going for my throat
You'll never be satisfied
Til you take everything I own

Everything You Say

Probably our last grand rock number as we start to wind down to finish our first collection of songs. Al took the reins with the lyrics on this one (and as always, the beautiful artwork) - inspired by a short story by Julia Armfield in Salt Snow and apparently an episode of Buffy! I just thought it sounded dead cool and really enjoyed singing her lyrics. Musically inspired by Nirvana, Elliott Smith, Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell.

This is an old home recording from the late nineties. 

*** CORRER NA PRAIA ***

Neste azul poente, ao sol, ao vento brincam ondas, 
luzimentos que não faz qualquer sentido alguém biografar.
Mesmo o túnel mais perfeito nunca teve um nome,
nem retrato de família que as ondinhas queiram recordar.

Tanto mar!...
Eu também sou movimento que se vai quebrar
nas margens do esquecimento deste imenso mar.
Beija-me perdidamente, antes de eu voltar
a surfar o firmamento lindo...

Vem ler poemas dos helénios
escuta o canto dos milénios
das trirremes que passaram de regresso ao lar.
Vê, quando abraço a areia quente
eu abraço tanta gente 
que deixou suas pegadas à beira do mar...

Tanto mar!... (etc.)

E, se escutares a minha prece,
explico-te a extinção da espécie
que um dia se esqueceu de se multiplicar.
Quimicamente és tão perfeita
que a mente não aceita
seres mais um castelo de areia à beira do mar.

Tanto mar!... (etc.)

I love the sounds of the 60s and 70s especially. I try to write songs that I would enjoy listening to myself. It’s the only gauge I have. My songs are just the sum total of all my positive listening experiences. I'll let you try to guess who they are!
