The Nothing’s Thought Exists / Déjà Vu

What a lovely surprise Debra came up with when I asked if she would like to collaborate on an earlier released song "Nice to See You".  She couldn't get past "Ode to Joy" when she first started, and I told her "Let's just run with it and see what other Christmas music might go with the song".  Her genius for counterpoint is full of charm and wit and on full display in this song.  Hear more of her beautiul music @debra_buesking.  We wish you all a very merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years:)

"Nice To See You" Holiday Mashup (with Debra Buesking, piano)

The mysterious 'Cup and Rings' rock art created over 3,000 years ago in Europe have fascinated archeologists over many years. In 1981 an unusual specimen was uncovered in an urban woodland in the Yorkshire city of Sheffield which I make a point of visiting regularly. This neolithic masterpiece lies tucked away in Ecclesall Woods and is characterised by a variant of the usual concentric circles design, which gives a unique outline to its carving. This funkier version of Stone Age expression deserves a celebration in music which is attempted here....
Wind ensemble: tenor recorders (intro/outtro); clarinet (bass); tenor saxophones; soprano saxophone

Absolutely thrilled to be working once again with my good friend, the awesome Audiobake (https://soundcloud.com/audiobake) on our second collab - Crows.
My original idea of crows & Japanese taiko drums has been transformed, thanks to the master of percussion & sfx. 
This guy is just amazing to work with ♥

Thank you for listening ♥

Standard Issue Average Joe Honky Tonk version

2020 was a good year for writing ...finding some old YouTube postings of mine

some trains won't leave
won't even start
though I put a thousand miles 
of rail beneath this heart
I’ve ridden hard, I've driven fast
But a part of me stayed at the station with my past
Some trains may leave,
but your memories still stuck back in town 

I hear that whistle blowin’, feel the wheels roll down the track 
But There’s a part of me… that won’t stop goin’ back
I never left your memories, still hear those sad goodbyes … 
Some trains won’t leave no matter how you try

Some Trains Don't leave (home demo)

There I was, diligently practicing my palm muted walking basslines when The Boys dropped by.

The practice session never stood a chance.

Here's a little homage to simpler times.

Neeps ‘n’ Tatties

Don’t need no haute cuisine, come dinner time.
A simple guy like me got simple tastes.
Don’t need no six course menu, sommelier’s fancy wine.
I’m happy drinking beer by the case.
The honest things in life are the ones that always shine,
So get your pan a-boilin’ babe, your neeps ‘n’ tatties do me fine.

Don’t need no fashionista plastic tik tok model girl
I love my honey baby, she always aims to please
Drivin’ me half crazy as she gives a little twirl
She’s muckin’ out the hogs in her muddy dungarees
Keep yer high fallutin’ “A” list, I’ll keep that sweet gal of mine.
Get your pan a-boilin’ babe, your neeps ‘n’ tatties do me fine.

……

Billionaires of tinsel sniffing venison carpaccio
Braised black cherry duck, meets Pol Roger
Praise the Lord I’m still connected to where I wanna go
Me and my sweet baby on our way, we’re headin’ there.
In our home of rustic truth we find pure living, love divine,
So get your pan a-boilin’ babe, your neeps ‘n’ tatties do me fine.

Neeps ‘n’ Tatties

I Sat Down By The River

I sat down by the river
On a - somewhat - sunny day
I watched the golden leaves
As they floated away

I sat down by the river
On that autumn day
I looked at the city behind me
It had nothing more to say

I sat down by the river
With a dream to go away
Leaving life as I knew it
Knowing bloody well that I would stay

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I sat down by the river
On that fateful day
And for every choice I ever made
There was a price to pay

When I sat down by the river
A pretty flower spoke to me
I didn't know the language
So the message was a mystery

I sat down by the river
There were birds in the sky
I wonder when life begins
As the years are passing by

Give me a kiss
Give me a smile
A moment of love
In that oldfashion style

I Sat Down By The River [an original song]

The night sky stirs as evil forces conjure malevolent beings to do their bidding. Will they comply?

The Conjuring

Z levenjem se prenavljam,
ko odlagam plasti jezika,
ki je povedal svoje  
in utihnil. 
Njegova skorja se počasi
lušči z mene,
ko se obdrgne ob kamenje dneva,
ob prisotnost ljudi in
tišino okrog njih.
Ko se v njegove razpoke
vtikajo besede tujih pesmi,
pod njim že raste nov jezik,
mlad kot pomladno listje,
prosojen na trdnih vejah telesa.

The Great Beyond

When the weight of the distance
becomes
unbearable,
I begin to imagine.
