A delightful song, Paul. Great to hear this morning!!!

A beautiful lyric, fine instrumental creativity and such a delightful, lithe delivery!

Sweet blue-eyed soul with such a gentle arrangement. I can imagine this as a big number too. Thanks for sharing Paul.

You really have your style, a beautiful style.

Best not dare go near your mind
you won't be held responsible
for the darkness that we may find
guess that makes you unsavable

Sway and swagger don't really matter
cause I believed in you

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

Immerse yourself in pityfull play
I don't understand you at all
guess youve always been that way
set up the height then nudge us to fall

Prim and proper don't really matter
cause I believed in you

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

Everything I said and done made no difference at all
All the things I tried to do, could not get through to you
you shut out the voices you'd hear
except for the ones in your head I tried my best.

Something's cooking in your kitchen
I can taste and feel the heat
noise erupting plates go crashing
flooded water under your slippery feet

somethings cooking

Ah, dear listener! I present myself here with my good buddy Gary, rather sheepish and shamefaced at being absent from this church of sonic jewels for the longest time.  I have been a bad listener, I'm afraid.  Bereft of mojo, time and without my little studio. Mea culpa. 

If you've read this far, you already have a whiff of the legendary about you.

So one day, quite recently,  the Phaigester messages me and opens his raincoat to reveal a select library of stellar little ear-nuggets he's been hiding away. What beauties, I tell thee! What beauties!
He lives here and you should visit if you haven't before

Three grabbed me instantly..deep, swirling soundstrata, complex and intriguing in equal measure. 

Perched on my bed, yodelling into the abyss, I attempt to add to his painting.  Teleported into that great,  inkyblack wonderland of transcendent joy again.

Hats off to Gar. Inventive, musical and patient. Thanks for your art and resuscitating me.

3 tracks..8mins plus..big ask. But hey, if you've read this far whilst listening you're halfway through 

Cheers me hearties, catch  you soon
Be good

Peripheral

I can’t see you, I can’t be with you
I can’t hold you or feel your welcome touch
As we slip into the water

I always sense you, I always feel you
Moving with me, our thoughts alike so much
As we slip into the water

When you slipped away on that awful day
You made me promise to live my life my own way
As I walk with you into the water

No more peripheral
It is logical
It is you and me

Tlaslila

I feel
Like I want to ride across the desert
Baking sand, tears of sweat in my eyes
Then climb climb the black mountains
Oh-oh-over we go, sail into the grey blue skies
I feel cold, dark deepness,
Feel fearsome rain,
Then fall
Fall into your arms again

Strange Agent

Strange Agent
You're never gonna find the man
Strange Agent
He'll let you run while you can

Fool you summoned him from beyond
Fool you thought he'd give you what you want
But that ain't the deal
Spinning the wheel
He's found something to steal
There's a soul to pay

Strange Agent, running wild in your head
Strange Agent telling you to talk with the dead
He's taking you by the hand

It's In The Room EP ThePhaige with Nicholas Ridiculous

Ive always pursued my music from a very spontaneous perspective  starting with guitar, i try to approach  things in a very organic fashion even with electronic  modular  synths  i have logic + mother keyboard i never use it ! For me the work flow  must synchronise with how & what motivates me in the feeling of the moment in a natural chaos  ..deliberated yes of course but clicking around on a screen while writing makes me wanna blow my brains out . ! Anyway for me personally this track exemplifies that feeling of the moment in Celebration..One shot recorded live job done 🤗 Thanks for  listening 🤗🙏😊.This is a DAW-less production .

Celebration  🤗 🙏 😊

We don't need another victim
We don't want to send them on their way home
We just wanted a life beyond
All they wanted was a life beyond their own

Well, its a Monday so that can only mean one thing, Its time for a remix of a song from 2016 that no one asked for!
So here is my alternate version and remix of this awesome song.
Its filled with awesome performances and magic.
As it's an alternate version, there are some differences between this and the original. The intro is completely rebuilt as i didn't have any of the parts. I also decided to use a previous arrangement with a piano solo instead of an acoustic guitar solo, and omitted a keyboard solo. This was mainly done because i genuinely feel like its the best choice for the song, but also because i didn't have them!

This was such a pleasure to work on, in 2016 OR 2023.

Performed by David Cooper

Music - David Cooper

Lyrics - Ron Todd

"Dust Clouds On The Horizon"

Heading out across the plain   
Eyes can't focus in the driving rain  
Horse is tired underneath my jeans 
Easy life ain't as easy as it seems  

Worked the ranches  rode the rodeo 
Risked it all on one last throw 
But as the time it turns to sand 
Worldly goods here in my hand

Chorus

They say life is special  
They say life is good   
But the cold still gets underneath this hood 
But when the sun comes out  
Feel It burns like fire 
And the prairie dust gets higher and higher 

Old guitar strapped to my back 
Singing songs at the roadside cafe (sang caf)
Like Bronson said along the way 
Might go back  maybe some day 

Chorus

Bridge

Days leaving money lying on a night stand 
Women I’ve known some good  some bad
Some had grace just like a ballerina 
Others they rocked it  rocked it like Tina

Guitar break
 
Dreamt about a tired old man 
He was sitting by a rusty old van  
Watching waves come to the shore
Felt I’d walked this way before

I realised this guy was me 
Songs replaced by senility 
Poured myself a whisky glass 
Glory days they just don't last
 
Chorus

Give it everything you can 
Cos when it's over then it's over  
Whether woman or a man 

And that prairie dust just gets higher and higher
Yeah it just gets higher and higher

Dust Clouds On The Horizon (Cooper/Todd Collaboration)

on this version, Josh Guice plays drums and James Abendschan plays bass (but you can't hear that very well).
