Bad storm on the way
Anvil sky of blackened cloud crushed my atmosphere
Caught my eye just before that thunder hit my ear
Don’t matter what the weather guy on television says
Batten down the hatches, and hunker down my dear
Lock and brace the latches, but set aside your fear
In fields caressed with birdsong where the poet’s children play
We’ll watch and breathe the sundown, together at the peaceful close of day.

Tempest hammering away
Hell broke loose with satan’s workers breaking out the knives
No eye to this storm’s wrecking ball demolishing our lives
Focused on the here and now, insanity at bay
Hanging tight together multiplying force for good
Cover one another, as we promised that we would
From hills of light we’ll look upon the people as they pray
We’ll watch and breathe the sundown, together at the peaceful close of day.

Clear skies here to stay
Cotton clouds play softly on horizons in the breeze
Placid grasses whisper sweet tranquillity at ease
Storm that we have weathered, on its catastrophic way
Clearing the wreckage starting up again anew
Wiser than before, now our challenges are through
Strengthening the present, bid the past adieu
We’ll lift our eyes to future skies of satin azure blue
Walk with me, my love, through meadows blessed in May
We’ll watch and breathe the sundown, together at the peaceful close of day.
We’ll watch and breathe the sundown, together at the peaceful close of day.
…………………………………………………………...together at the peaceful close of day.

Close Of Day (Lyrics & Vocal Mr. P)

Whose turn is it?  Is it your turn or mine?
Don't worry, everyone has to take a turn.

Whose Turn?

The Manor (Graciously Received In A Place Of Evil)

Even on the dancefloor there is loneliness and isolation - among those solemn frequencies…

Solemn Frequencies

Many of the used sounds were recorded on playgrounds in Brandon, Cambridge, Heidelberg, London and Zagreb.

I've been on Soundcloud for six years now and it's been great exploring the work of other artists.  There is so much generosity of spirit on this platform, it's just what you need when most of your music is made solo. 

I started out playing classical and Spanish guitar, then took up flamenco to ease myself away from the confines of musical notation. As a result, Latin rhythms often creep into my music. 

A friend introduced me to steel string and electric guitars just a few years ago and I still find the scope they bring dizzying... but what fun!
