Lyrics:

What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Like the river flows beneath the sand
We must all face the promised land

As you wander through the dark
Feel the beating of your heart
With the night comes day
With the wind comes change
As you wander through the dark

Like the clouded dreams of fate
The rain relieves it's weight

As you wander through the dark
Feel the beating of your heart
With the night comes day
With the wind comes change
As you wander through the dark

Lyrics:

I closed up all the shades
to block out yesterday then I
locked up all the doors
that welcomed you

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
so I'm no more in the middle of jealousy
Now your gone

I woke up in a daze
then washed my thoughts away and I
sat in your old place
where you once belonged

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in a fantasy (I can do all that I want)

I'll be who I wanna be (I can do all that I want)
and I'll see who I wanna see (I can do all that I want)
I'll live in a masterpiece ( I can do all that I want)
up high in an apple tree (I can do all that I want)

Now your gone
I can see what is lost
now I'm no longer little I found my feet
Now your gone

Now Your Gone

Dream

And from her summit she reigns
Over the blackness and day
I react to the dream taking place
In you’re head wont relive what there went

And through the fires we race
Gaze at the world we’ve create
Feel the heat of battles far taking place
Cant hold it like new skin crawling back

And while I’m taking you’re joke
Empty us now we wont know

Claim all you’re fortune and rest
Transfer my thoughts to a safe
Make a wish throw all you’re teeth at the well
She’ll come back like a thief in the night

And by the thousands thrown in
pressing us down the grinder

And through the dark I hurry
loyal, and found, lucky dog

What will it take to get through
You’re back in the game but alone

Then your dreams give you up and the silence responds
And you dream waking up over icy cold tiles
When the fear wakes you up of things unresolved
Feel her walk through and pass like a scent

Heroes On The Sun 

Written and performed by Kym Turnbull AKA Bluebird

Produced by Richard Brown

Lyrics:

I don't need no mountain to climb
to know how I feel
and I don't need no river to find
my way through these fields

I keep holding on, holding off
in a moment of fear
I keep holding on, holding off
til the moment appears

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

If I walk on into the night
straight through those fields
will you be that shimmering light
that knows how I feel

I keep holding on...

Take me back to the place of silence 
where there is no violence
and no more fighting                                   x2

Heroes on the sun...

Memories of Flight

NEGATIVE SILENCE

This Cinematic-style Celtic Fantasy is loosely based around an ancient Celtic gathering on Lindisfarne and had me researching the Common Brittonic language to get some interesting 'Foley' sounds.  It was spoken in Britain and Brittany and eventually developed into Old Welsh, Cumbric, Cornish, and Breton.  It also features my long suffering wife who over time has become a quasi- Foley artist and harmony part singer for me. 

The Metheglin of the title is the oil that makes the celebration happen and is a type of spiced mead, so basically fermented honey with spices added. It also obliquely connects to Lindisfarne mead and also the bees featured in 'By Castle Walls'.  

I wanted to get a sort of cinematic feel to be dropped into a Celtic Festival or feast day and I hoped the language and children's laughter would aid in the immersion. Finally in this project I get to do a fair bit of bouzouki playing which was a plus. 

So hopefully you will enjoy the feast .... "búwa slanos ac swos"

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne.

Instrumentation

A Taste of Metheglin features low and high whistles, harp, strings, violin, alto-flute, a choir backing and bouzouki. Percussion consists of bodhrán, clapping, various taps and knocks, shaker and even tapping on my acoustic guitar. 

Vocal FX is a combination of Brittonic vocalisations and a  backing line from the Soundiron 'Voices of Gaia' collection featuring the vocal talents of Linda Strawberry.

Some of the percussion sounds come from the excellent playable VST instrument set "Flying Hands Percussion" by HandHeld Sound

A sea waves sound FX and children laughing FX that are classed as Public Domain are used to add colour to the track from www.freesound.org

Background

This track is a combination of VST-based instrumentation and real-playing of instruments  with additional clapping, tapping and knocking, all overlaid with original Foley sounds.

I wanted to try and get a well developed rhythmic feel and maybe the feel of circular dancing that hopefully comes out from the track.

Lay Down Your Arms

Let’s Walk is an instrumental composition that seeks to reinvent “marching music.” Its new remixed version is out on platforms in 2025 : https://linktr.ee/letswalkclosetorobert 
Try Let’s Walk when you wake up or while walking briskly down the street… But you might also sense an ambiguity between its lively, energizing atmosphere and the military or imposed nature of the exercise. And what about the destination ?
The video, featuring the finale of Seven Chances, a 1925 film by Buster Keaton, takes a burlesque detour. Why is this crowd of women chasing Buster? https://urls.fr/N41INZ 

Let’s Walk est une composition instrumentale qui tente de renouveler la « musique de marche ». Une nouvelle version remixée est en ligne en 2025 sur les plateformes : https://linktr.ee/letswalkclosetorobert
Testez Let’s Walk au réveil ou en marchant vite dans la rue… Mais peut-être sentirez-vous aussi une ambiguïté entre l’ambiance entraînante, énergisante et la dimension militaire ou imposée de l’exercice. 
La vidéo reprenant le final de « Seven Chances », film de Buster Keaton (1925…) fait un pas de côté burlesque et absurde. Mais pourquoi cette foule féminine poursuit-elle Buster ?

Coup de foudre

ломанье белых рук латанье черных кружев 
касания в санях и уксус натощак 
покуда милый друг вельможен и натужен 
замешкался в сенях оглаживая фрак

он беден но знаток 
ни слова в просторечьи
 он бледен как опал 
он пан или пропал 
покуда бел снежок
 проводит к Черной речке - 
расскажет где стоял 
покажет как упал

ах маменька! лови расшитую перчатку 
венчанье он отверг - не надобны уже
 латиницей любви в несносных опечатках 
под лампою в четверг Расин и Беранже
    
силянс! учитель мой
 грассируя безбожно
 не торопись глотать 
соленые слова
 верни меня домой 
шкатулки невозможной
 картонный фигурант 
седая голова

Человек с Зонтом

Coup de foudre
