Written by Kym Turnbull and Damon Brown
Produced by Richard Brown



Lyrics:

Hello, are you there?
There's a mirror in the bathroom 
and a blanket in the lounge room if you care....

Where is the sunset that is mine?
Where are the colors in the sky?
If there's a mountain I can climb,
I'll watch the sunset with these eyes.

Hello, are you there?
there's a key left at the back door,
come right in and make yourself at home....

Where is the sunset that is mine?
Where are the colors in the sky?
If there's a mountain I can climb,
I'll watch the sunset with these eyes.

Where is the sunset that is mine?
Where are the colors in the sky?
If there's a mountain I can climb,
I'll watch the sunset with these eyes.

It's all the Same (Damon Brown Collaboration)

Lyrics:

When it's all been saturated and it's plain to see
I'm no longer captivated by the secrets that you keep

You keep it from...

Oh Oh it's not that way

When the tumbling promises come crashing at your feet
Will you keep on cutting corners when you're in too deep?

You just want me for yourself to keep you satisfied
Then you take my hard earned money and take me for a ride

Oh Oh You keep it from...

You just want me for yourself to keep you satisfied
Then you take my hard earned money and take me for a ride

Oh Oh You keep it from...
It's not that way

When it's all been saturated and it's plain to see
I'm no longer captivated by the secrets that you keep

The background for the inspiration of course is Homer and the tales on the Trojan war. But Kassandra does not tell a story – it’s a kind of a painting with an ancient scenery or maybe just a sketch: Kassandra in front of the burning city. And it could be a modern painting. We are in a distance of more than 3.000 years to the plot of the ancient tales – and still mankind has Kassandras and tears in front of burning cities.

Working on Kassandra i had in mind from the beginning that Cindy will take the main voc in this song. So i wrote the harmonies and the song structure with that in mind and i love how she sings the song. Kassandra also includes a few notes played with a Greek Baglamas and helps the song to get a special note. This string instrument is the small sister of a Bouzouki. 

lyrics:
on sungod days in the morning dew
the tears of kings are just a few
meaningless rain drops

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
and the ships are grounded

in the golden light of the afternoon
she is dancing like the queen of doom
she blinks into the sunlight

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
into the sky
into the sky

Lyrics:

Comfort in a picture on the wall
My thoughts go deeper
always fighting scratching at the walls
Oh where's the keeper?

If you jump I'll jump with you
If you fall I'll fall with you
Just give me a reason...

Cover me and walk me through the door
and give me a meaning
Consolation given to the fall
Oh where's the leader?

If you jump I'll jump with you
If you fall I'll fall with you
Just give me a reason...

It's easier to, It's easier to, It's easier to...
(just give me a reason)
It's easier to, It's easier to, It's easier to...
(just give me a reason)

If you jump I'll jump with you
If you fall I'll fall with you
Just give me a reason...

It's easy

This a song I just wrote a few days ago. This is just the rough unedited version which I wanted share cause I kinda like the rawness of it! Love and peace to allxx

Lyrics:

Nothing feels like a heart attack, 
that comes to get you when you're burnt. 
And when you look back through the photographs,
nothing looks quite like it should. 

That's when you stop to look around, 
that's when you start to realize it wasn't you....

Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why.

I think I wanna tell you, I know the reason why. 
And that I forgive you for never knowing why.

Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why.

You don't ask the sunset why it sets at night. 
You don't ask the mountains how they get so high.
Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why. Why, don't ask why.

Don't  Ask Why

THE ONLY PARTY IN TOWN

Well ooh yeah!

She didn’t look like her sister
She talked like a brother
Smoked like a trooper
Swore like her father

Her lips had gone solid
At the bridge by the station
Cold in the car but she 
Walked like a casino

So why! 
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Well oh yeah!

We painted cathedrals (red)
Crossed the Atlantic (in Lennon’s bed)
Hundreds of packets of sweeteners (When she was caught)
Were found in her pockets

So why!
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Well oh yeah!

Oh my…

She’s just a friend
But I love her too much
My parents would have been very pleased to see her
Most girls would wanna be her
Liked the look of her boat
Faster than an elegant quote
Doesn’t clean or sink or float
Well oh yeaah!
Swan of the Avon
Piper at the Gates of dumb (Norfolk) Broads
There could be flood warnings for millions of hordes and
She’ll always look after 
The cygnet committed to
Equality, Freedom, Freedom To Live
The love machine lumbers
Through all the hearts' chambers
Signet ring, heraldic crest and cuckoo’s nest
Always ran with the best
Curled up in the wardrobe
In a discarded vest
Playing the old tunes
And playing ‘em loud!
So why!
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Oh yeah!

So why!
Why are you singing this song
Why have you all come along
Was she the only party in town?
Well oh yeah!

Midisound https://soundcloud.com/sonido-reflexivo asked me if I'd be interested in collaborating with him. He shared the instrumental of this, saying he could hear the line, "Kiss Me Now". I found a unique Latin passion in the melody and the exotic rhythm was very inspiring to me which meant that the song felt as if it wrote itself, with the music dictating the mood. 
We are delighted to share this, hopefully the first of many collaborations with Soundcloud. Many thanks to Paco for this opportunity, for the inspiration and for his endless patience.

Image of 'The Kiss' by Auguste Rodin

I knew the game was up,
That I’d run out of luck.
No room for a make-up,
You see me as a schmuck.

I knew that this would never last,
That we were bound to crash and burn.
Our best days are in the past,
It's me you spurn.

I knew you played a killer hand,
Give me a moment to savour.
Now it’s all out of my command,
Then grant me this favour.

Kiss me now,
Before you rip the very heart out of me.
One last time,
Kiss me now.
Give me this one thing to remember you by.
Kiss me now.

Leave some positivity to make it all worthwhile,
I know only too well that we can’t reconcile.
	
Kiss me now,
Before you trample my heart into the floor.
One last time,
Kiss me now,
Then turn around and walk right out through that door.
Kiss me now. 

Dismiss me now,
I’ll wallow in self-pity and reminisce.
Miss me now?
I don’t think so, as I face the abyss.

I knew the game was up,
That I’d run out of luck.

Kiss me, then dismiss me, I don’t matter anymore.

Kiss me now,
Before you rip the very heart out of me.
One last time,
Kiss me now.
Give me this one thing to remember you by.

Kiss me now, 
Just kiss me now.

Kiss Me Now (Midisound/Mark J Bennett)

Lyrics:

I never gave that part of me
I hid it deep inside of me
You never gave your heart to me
You kept it far away from me

Cause it's just like I thought you don't love me at all
Can we call it a day?
Cause it's just like I thought you don't want me at all
Can we call it a day?

I don't know why you can't love me
Tell me why you can't hold me
Tell me why you won't love me
Tell me why you won't hold me

I don't want any part in this
You've taken every part of me
I don't think I could handle it
If you won't let me in

Cause it's just like I thought you don't love me at all
Can we call it a day?
Cause it's just like I thought you don't want me at all
Can we call it a day?

I don't know why you can't love me
Tell me why you can't hold me
Tell me why you won't love me
Tell me why you won't hold me

You will never ever know why
You're the reason every thing died
You will never ever know why
You're the reason every thing died...

Can we call it a day

Lyrics by David L. Graham of McTown Music

Pinocchio
V1:
He don't understand the why
Lies are what he does
Doesn't know what's wrong or right
Just hangs onto what he wants

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

CH:
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never heard of Pinocchio

V2:
He don't understand my pain
Been this way his whole life
Always wants it his way
Brings the darkness to light

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

Chorus

BR:
I'm walking away now, but he can't believe
That I could give up on promises and leave
But he doesn't remember his promises to me
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio

Chorus out

Original song inspired by the question what if someone like David Bowie never found his way to his muse. How many wonderful gifts remain in the hearts of their creators never to be seen by the world?

Lyrics
He wears a suit that never fit him and it's sad to say it fits him worse now
He has no clue of how to change it so he silently puts it on every day
He used to think his life would burn so brightly Now he tells himself what a joke he really is
Still a voice cries from deep within Come on Man I’ve always been here

He wears a suit that never fit him and the world just shrugs
Another mumbling voice in the wilderness against this world’s din
How can we fight for every square inch of land but for our own people not give a damn
Still even with all odds against it beauty finds a way to shines

How can we calculate the loss when a wildflower never blooms
How can we measure the loss of a genius that the world never knew

He wears a suit that never fit him and I hope he finds his way out
Cause there are empty places in our psyche waiting for his touch
Let’s pray he finds his way through the maddening maze to the place where his muse waits  
So that we can find one more place to rest in this parched land of ours

He Wears A Suit

What an honor to add my acoustic guitars to this collaboration with ace electric guitarist, keyboardist, and producer Seagull, Soundcloud's Poet Laurette Peter, Soundcloud's Poet of the piano, Debra Buesking, and vocalists Clara, and Snowflake.  With this visionary and epic trilogy, we explore the human condition and the choices we must make that will determine our destiny as a race.  It is a longer work but a rewarding listen if taken as a whole, but can still be appreciated in smaller bites if time doesn't allow a nearly 16 minute commitment.  The first segment is "Lost" until 4:55, "Lament is from 4:56-10:14, and "Ghost of a Dragon" until the end.  
To experience the full impact of the "trilogy", one must see Seagull's superb and deeply moving film with "Next Choice" as the soundtrack; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCA7MZSvEwI

HANDS (radio edit)

Years have passed and I will never forget my one regret. A friend of mine jumped off of the Tobin Bridge in Boston because of the pressure his family put on him to send money back to them in his native country - They should all be crucified. This is my recollection. I should have been there for him that day - instead I was looking to be seen "AGAIN" - always craved attention... Full lyrics below
"
who was I to you guess I was just a ghost reached out to everyone and played the clown but it turned out you needed me the most I wish i never ever let you down - but I was just a kid and i was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
Was in the lunchroom making a cup of Joe - when you walked in trying to compose yourself - I felt like there was something I should know - but i bit my tongue cause I didn't want to pry - saw it in your eyes you were alone but carried on as if I didn't care truth was I was having a bad day consumed with all the problems of my own - but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
The next morning state police had questioned me they said that you had jumped the night before and even though they placed no blame on me - my aura showed that I was ugly
but I was just a kid and I was oh so blind blinded by the selfishness that swallowed up my time craving the attention I missed out on as a child and made you feel alone that day in your darkest hour please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't do.
please forgive me cause I cant forgive myself so many days go by when I wish I was someone else I was just a kid wasn't there for you I know it wasn't what I did it was what I didn't d----

Lyrics:

I closed up all the shades
to block out yesterday then I
locked up all the doors
that welcomed you

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
so I'm no more in the middle of jealousy
Now your gone

I woke up in a daze
then washed my thoughts away and I
sat in your old place
where you once belonged

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in a fantasy (I can do all that I want)

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in an apple tree (I can do all that I want)

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

Now Your Gone

Head over to the awesome @fadysporz to listen to some wonderful indie gems! 

i don't know
where to go
where to flow
where myself has been

if i was
here with me
'now!' i'd say,
'now i'm free'
but i am somewhere else and out of reach

sometimes my mind games
keep me under control
there's nothing i could do
my chemical imbalance turns into
fire

i know the fire
it keeps me under control
it's never far away
it never takes too long, you know
one, two, here it comes
fire

everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
all my me's are running up and down
everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
i'm trapped by this
fire

Heroes On The Sun 

Written and performed by Kym Turnbull AKA Bluebird

Produced by Richard Brown

Lyrics:

I don't need no mountain to climb
to know how I feel
and I don't need no river to find
my way through these fields

I keep holding on, holding off
in a moment of fear
I keep holding on, holding off
til the moment appears

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

If I walk on into the night
straight through those fields
will you be that shimmering light
that knows how I feel

I keep holding on...

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

Heroes on the sun...

Are You Human? (Simply A Machine)

'So Long'
written and performed by Kym Turnbull aka Bluebird
produced by Richard Brown

Lyrics:

I know your sad cause i'm sad too
We all get sad it's what we do

Time spent wasted the whole way through
Time spent chasing what we lose

If you become a better man I'll be beside you
If you make up a better plan we'll see it through

So long to yesterday and all the plans we made
Now that you've been away so long                       x2

I know your mad cause I'm mad too
we all get mad It's what we do

Time spent wasted the whole way through
Time spent chasing what we lose

So long to yesterday...

Would you take it if you thought that you could make it?    x4

So Long
