This is the thing about the blues, it's such a simple form that anyone, whatever musical level they're on, can perform their own version of the blues. It's truely the music of the people and welcomed by every musical genre. It's all in we bring to it, the individual expression that makes it. You two could stand up alongside anybody, you name 'em, I do mean anybody. You both have the skill, intelligence. heart and soul, as well as your own distinctive sound, all the elements of greatness. There, I've said too much, I can't say enough.

Save Me....
Save Me....

Trust is the word, that comes to my mind
When I think of you
You've been by my side
Through all these darkest days of my life

I'm writing this song for you
I want to express my gratitude
For all of your time
And especially to your wife
Cause you're a happily married man

Consideration
You're a rare example 
You define what is a friend

How many times have I cried
And you've listened to me
More than any person ever did in my life
And I sometimes wonder why

Oh my friend, I love you
Oh my friend, there's only you
To walk me through these hard times

Your eyes, they sparkle and shine
My pain goes away with your humanity

So I just want to let you know
That song I wrote about suicide
Will just stay a song

You'll never really how you saved me from the dark
Each time you answered my call
Yeah, I took a chance, I trusted you, and wow
what a friend you've become
I hope some day I'll be there for you

m m m ha
m m m  ha ha ha
m ha ha ha
ha ha ha oh ooh
oh o oh o hoo oo hoo ohoo (x 6)

You saved me from the dark
You saved me from dark
Oh yeah hah hah
Oh my friend oh my friend
Hold my hand until the end

Save me
Save me

You Save Me

Synopsis

Following unprecedented worldwide growth in human conflict, an emergency plenary session of the United Nations was convened late in 2023, tasked with finding new approaches to defuse global tension and ease conciliation. Recognising the abject failure of extant UN jurisdictions and powers, and in a radical restructuring of the international legal and security framework, that session established a new UN institution to sit alongside the International Court of Criminal Justice. The International Court of Moral Justice was formally incorporated into the UN Constitution on 1 January 2024.

The foundations of this infant organisation and those of the UN itself were shaken when it was revealed that the inaugural case to be heard by the ICMJ was to be a private prosecution brought by greed itself against the defendant, mankind’s innate sense of humanity.

In papers lodged with the court, the protagonist, Lord Mammon has asserted that the fundamental basis for human misery, the creation of discontent, thence envy and hence conflict, is to be found exclusively in false moral goodness and self-righteousness borne of a misplaced sense of benevolence. The human race survived and thrived, he states, not by moving at the pace of the slowest, or sharing resources with the weakest, but by taking and keeping, for the self alone, much more than is needed for basic subsistence, this being the singular route to strength, individual contentment and thus tolerance of others.

In reply, a broken and demoralised Lady Humanity has been compelled to present her own defence after failing to secure funding for a legal team to counter the advocates ranged in front of Lord Mammon. The case for the defence rests solely on the premise that good comes from within and cannot be created from nothing. So whilst she may try to bolster the moral cause in her work, she increasingly finds that the human souls she sees have no humanity in them whatsoever for her to strengthen, nothing to work with and as such, concedes that she has failed, but denounces the notion that it was for want of trying. Devoid of resources, supporters and allies of any kind she single handedly has held the fort against the self-perpetuating, self-reinforcing massed ranks of Mammon.

The Lord Chief Justice of the ICMJ along with his bench of associate judiciary adjourn proceedings to consider their findings and in the final act, return to deliver their verdict.

The Trial. A Pico-Operetta for our Times.

Its FRIDAY!!  Here is a little number thats unusually uplifting for me :-) Thank you for all of your wonderful plays shares and playlists too!!

My Eyes (Ft Joerxworx)

Quite some time ago Tom And I discussed a possible collaboration but unfortunately we never did.
When Tom left SoundCloud for a time, it was one of my great disappointments that we never did.
Too many late nights to count I have gone to Tom's page and been anchored by a good dose of “the blues”.
Upon Tom's return to SC and seeing his invitation to Open Collab yesterday, I immediately started humming along. 
Thus we present to you:
                                           Conumdrum
Music  ….................... Tom Adams                     https://soundcloud.com/ytlblues
Lyrics & Vocals........... Ver2xif (Martin Jones)    https://soundcloud.com/ver2xif

When I woke up this morning
And looked out at the rain
Whatever the day might bring me
Seems to always start with pain

I search for some soothing music
And I find me a funky beat
I grab myself some courage
And I get up on my feet

No matter what else I do
The thing that always tends to be true
Is that everytime I think of you
I'm right back here with the blues

I'm laughing
And I'm crying
I'm living
And yet I feel like I'm dying

The world owes me nothing
Yet there's such a heavy price to pay
Although I'd try to change it
I wouldn't have it any other way

I guess you say I'm confused
That perhaps I've lost my way
But every time I think of you
I'm right back here with the blues

This time I'll follow my heart
And see what the end will be
All that really matters
Is that you know what you meant to me
.
You're like the air that I breathe
The concept that I could not conceive
The ending before the beginning
The finale before the theme

No matter what else I may do
The thing that always tends to be true
Is that everytime I think of you
I'm right back here with the blues
