AMBROSIA COAST

Driving down the coast road
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Oh can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

They came in in inflatables
But they weren’t looking for Ingrid’s hat
We spent some money dressing up the corpse
No-one had learned a move like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

But we don’t wanna see where the birdie goes

Give me emotion (bow-wow-wow)
Lend me the potion (bow-wow-wow)
Rub me in lotion (bow-wow-wow)
Give me the motion (bow-wow-wow)
We need ambrosia
Because it’s cosier
Feed the gods with that bowl 
Feed the gods with that bowl, there...

Driving down the coast road 
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like that

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like that

Oh can we do it?
But can we do it tonight? (bow-wow-wow)
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight? 
Bow-wow-wow

Hi there,

My second stab at producing a track in Cubase that was recorded on my Zoom L12 

I'm getting to grips with the levels now, but need to work on the vocals.

This will hopefully be rerecorded soon with a live band set up.

Comments and feedback most welcome

Thanks for listening

Cheers Matt ;)

They Won’t Leave My Heart Alone

Memories, they won’t leave me on my own, tonight
Walking home, they won’t leave my heart alone, tonight

You have brought me closer to nothing I’ve known before
You have bought me closer to what I need

Why do the people all worry when there’s nothing to worry at all?
Why do the people all scurry when the truth comes to call?

Memories just may bring me to my knees, tonight
Walking home I won’t take it all alone tonight

‘Cos you have brought me closer to what I was longing for
You have seen me closer to what I need

Why do the people all worry when there’s nothing to worry at all
Why do they all start to scurry when the truth comes to call?

Memories, they won’t leave me on my own, tonight
Walking home, they won’t leave my heart alone, tonight

‘Cos you have brought me closer to what I was longing for
You have seen me closer to what I need
 
Why do the people all worry when they hold to their pride and fall
Why do they all start to scurry when the truth was nothing at all
Why do the people all scurry when the truth comes to call?
Why do the people all worry if there’s nothing to worry at all?
Memories yeah...

Memories

'They Won't Leave My Heart Alone' - ft Faerytale

Some time ago my friend Jonny Cooke asked me to play drums on a beautiful acoustic song he wrote...well, I never could imagine all this beauty, the magic guitar of Tom Adams, the evocative strings by Maira Huisman, the awesome work of Van Gabriel on mixing, mastering and production, and obviously the talent of Jonny....I'm so proud and honored to be part of this, me...an amateur drummer with such a cast of amazing musicians...thank you, my friends !!!
I'M ALIVE

Jonny Cooke: Bass, Lyrics and Vocals
Tom Adams: Electric Guitar
Maira Huisman: Strings
Myself: Drums (Wow!)
Van Gabriel: Entire Production
I can't resist to post it......:-)))))))))))))))))))

I'M ALIVE - Jonny Cooke-Tom Adams-Maira Huisman-Carlo Presti-Van Gabriel Productions

Very much a collaboration.

Tante Meli supplied vocals and lyrics, vocal production, very good drum ideas, synth swells and sampled organ.

Faerytale played perfect cello and pan flute.

I brought guitars and bass, bass synth, sampled organ, digital percussion and drums. Then I attempted to mix it all.

It was fun.

Tante Meli and Faerytale. You know them, you love them. But if you don’t know them, go here: @faerytale and here: @tante-meli. You will love them.

You're Different

Thought I was fighting my heart
I was really fighting you
The whispering designs of the past
A lovely tattoo made of scars
I never showed my hands
The ugly wounds, deep
From knives, teeth and heat
But, you're different
Gotta hold of my soul
You're different and you won't let go

Yet, I conquered some
Tore from the animal its head
Broke the snake's jaw
Twisted 'til the dragon was dead
After running all these years
I stopped and stood before the idol
I laughed, I winked, I didn't bow nor did I break
But, you're different...

This time I would not feign love for plaster and wood
Statues and carvings misunderstood
For gods we are and gods we shall be
I'm content as long as you're here with me
Because, you're different...
Gotta hold
The filaments that make up my soul
You're different

Walking Guy - 2017

thanks thanks thanks thank you

blessings of love
light up your soul
it gets so heavy at times
though it weighs 
nothing at all 
you know its there
we’re bound together 
like flies on a spider web

its the gold that you got
its the name on your socks 
when dumb things
run things

its your name on a rock
you forget all about 
when fun things
run things.

blessings of peace
quiet your mind
it gets so busy at times
though it goes
nowhere at all
circles and squares
we’re bound to wonder
like cats on a window sill

Berlin Heel by Steph Sweet
Video Link https://youtu.be/qcWsjexxPwk
I wrote and recorded this a month ago, just a throwaway, superfuzzy, trashy indie pop song about foot fetishists
And so much has happened since...
But we can still dance, yeah? xx

when the oaks go gold

Thicker than water.    An alternative ending to The Mermaid's Tale. 

Somewhere in the labyrinth of The Mermaid's Tale an act of betrayal took place. A jealous Seaflame falsely accused her sister Seawind of sinking a ship. As a result Seawind was imprisoned in a stone circle on a hilltop where she died of a broken heart. (Chapter 2. In a Lovers' Storm) Now Seaflame begs hers sister's ghost for forgiveness. 

Cast in order of appearance

Seaflame.....a mermaid.  Seawind's sister

Moonstar....a mermaid. Seawind's daughter

Seawind......a ghost

Seaflame ...

Sister, forgive me, Sister
This painful history
my mischief stains
Sister, forgiving Sister
Tears for the love we lost... to my jealous heart  

Moonstar  ...

Souls lost to the sea             
have no rest
they have no peace
they have no grave
where flowers save
their memory.

Seawind ...

Sister, forgiven Sister  
a given, Sister
Blood flows thicker than the sea.  
Sister, forever Sister 
Tears for the years we lost... 
To swim side by side..

All...

Timeless the ocean, that we swim through
Midnight blue                      
Love is the moment, that we swim to
Compass true...

Some of you may recall reading Shakespeare  at school and it is probable that your teacher pointed out that the plays were written to be performed by a troop of actors and viewed by an audience. You had to imagine the different characters speaking as you read through the dialogue. Do the same here and imagine female vocals from the three characters. 

A little confession. I borrowed the concept of a hateful act as 'a mischief' from Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas' where the Sorceress invites her 'Wayward sisters' to 'Share in the fame of a mischief ' .

Thicker Than Water

Lucifer Uncrowned.  

Apologies to John Milton ( Paradise Lost ) but the recent fall from grace of 
President Trump and The Witchfinder General Cummins drew my mind to the wickedly unfair demise of Lucifer.  

Live. One mic. No excuses. Had a few beers tho.....

A sweet voice said, 'Bless my soul,  
gotta get back into heaven
cuz I left my phone...
If the Big Guy finds it, turns it on
I got some dirty pictures of me dressed up as a swan...

Down, cast down, hungover, uncrowned
Set to to drown at the bottom of a bottle
with my tu-tu twisted round...

An old angel said 'There's a secret door
...l got a  key, 
in my sock drawer
In the good old days, it was one of the ways
to smuggle in a girl and gin in time for Hogmanay '..

Down, cast down, hungover, uncrowned
Set to drown at the bottom of a bottle
with my tu-tu halfway down...

The Dark Lord said 'Sad to report there's been some Revelations
I'm overdue in court...
It was an honest mistake, I love Swan Lake
I was suckered by a witches' brew 
of Granny Smith's and snake...

Down, cast down, hungover, uncrowned 
Set to drown at the bottom of a bottle ........
Oh Lord, snake news brought me down.

Lucifer Uncrowned
