For my son Jan (1976-2022), who's dream it was to fly a plane...
Happy sounds with a Gambian twist...

The Captain Of The Clouds

A little Christian Grey 

Noobly and myself constantly write and record and have a vast unreleased back catalogue of songs . This particular song was only finished a few weeks ago and so we have decided to release it as we loved it.
A little Christian Grey a song about you can fear the fear but just do it anyway and you may even like it!
Different things for different situations you can use your own imagination for this one.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….. 

A Little Christian Grey 

V1
If only my emotions were that easy to turn on and off with you
I will always leave a space in my diary just  for me and you

Bridge
Fear the fear and do it anyway 
Doesn’t matter if it goes a little Christian Grey 

Chorus 
Don’t stop I like it
Your getting inside my head 
Don’t stop I like  when sharing your bed
Don’t stop I like it
I prefer this instead 
Don’t stop x3 I like it x2

Bridge
Fear the fear and do it anyway 
Doesn’t matter if it goes a little Christian Grey 

Quite Chorus

Music fade out ….

Now won’t you tell me what to do
You got me acting like a fool
I’m like a kid right out of school
You got me breakin’ every rule

So tell me what I gotta do
So I can get right next to you
Cause baby all I wanna do
Is spend all my life with you

Always, always – you’re the one who rules
Always, always – baby don’t be cruel

Now won’t you tell me what to do
You know I’m acting like a fool
I’m like a kid right out of school
You got me breakin’ every rule

So tell me what I gotta do
So I can get up next to you
I wanna spend my life with you
If you’ll just tell me what to do

Always, always – been in love with you
Always, always – trying to play it cool
Always, always – trying to make a move
Always, always – I’m the one who drools

So baby tell me what to do
You got me acting like a fool
I’m like a kid right out of school
You got me breakin’ every rule

So tell me what I gotta do
Just to get some time with you
I wanna spend my life with you
And you can tell me what to do

Always, always – you’re the one who rules
Always, always – bowing down to you
Always, always – been in love with you
Always, always – trying to play it cool

So won’t you tell me what to do 
Tell me what I gotta do
Ah I’m listening to you
So tell me what I gotta do

what I gotta do

This song may seem like a step backwards, no DAW, just acoustic, quite simple, vocals and a guitalele as accompaniment. Are you familiar with this instrument? I didn't know it existed until I met someone on the train who had one with him, the GL1 from Yamaha. It's kind of a full-fledged mini guitar. It's rather inexpensive considering the quality, costing less than 100 euros including the case. It's a beautiful instrument, and you can easily take it with you anywhere. You can play it like a normal guitar, you just have to get used to the small frets on the fretboard. But I don't wish to advertise here...anyway, I am really happy with it.
I found that song on my phone, one of my very first songs, like „Giants“. I wasn't very good at playing at the time, so the accompaniment consisted mainly of 1 or 2 notes on the electric guitar, hardly any chords. When I rediscovered it, I thought it sounded so embarrassing (the guitar playing) that I wanted to delete it. But then I listened to the complete song and finally liked it a lot. I've taken over some of the minimal guitar playing here in the guitalele version, but play also full chords. So please don't expect a complex song here. Maybe if this is the first song you will hear from me, you perhaps better skip it and listen to another one first.

you say dont wear that 
you say wear this 
you say dont do that 
i dont give a shit 
you say i asked for it 
i didnt ask for it 
too much make up not enough 
make your fuckin mind up
clothes do not define me
 breasts do not define me 
you do not define me

i am woman
hear me roar

you say dont go out after dark
 you say dont walk through the park at night 
if you do hold your keys in your hand and be ready to fight
well if i have to fight Im gonna go for your eyes 
im gonna go for your balls and then after it all 
put my foot on your chest and scream
i am woman  hear me roar  
i am woman hear me roar


stop the suffocation manipulation violation 
stop the exploitation subjugation violation
stop the suffocation manipulation violation 
stop the exploitation degredation violation

Cycles - Spring

Verse 1
Headlights bloom like silent stars
The night goes thin, the world pulls apart
My hands are moving, I’m not sure why
I’m watching myself from the passenger side

Chorus
I’m here, I’m here, at least I seem
Like I woke up inside a half-lived dream

Verse 2
Time skips frames, the sound comes late
Your voice drifts through the broken glass weight
They say my name, I turn too slow
Like I’m answering from years ago

Chorus
I’m here, I’m here, at least I seem
Like I woke up inside a half-lived dream
The road keeps rolling, calm and clean
But I’m not where my body’s been

Half-lived Dream

Written and performed by Bluebird
Produced by Richard Brown

It's a funny life, I can see it in your eyes
What's wrong is right
If you look up faith it's a lot to take
the messages in the pain

Hold it and you'll see
the light in the dark side of me
When you look away to forget your pain
Promise you won't stay

Promise that you surrender
Promise that you remember
Promise that you get better
Promise that you surrender
Surrender, Surrender,surrender,surrender

Breathe light into me, cause there's light in the dark side of me
When you lost your way and forget your name
Promise you'll hold on too

Promise that you surrender
Promise that you remember
Promise that you get better
Promise that you surrender
Surrender, Surrender,surrender,surrender

Promise that you surrender
Promise that you remember
Promise that you get better
Promise that you surrender
