As Far As I Know

a live demo recorded on the old tape machine.........peace, cheers for having a listen and seasons greetings.............*Tombstone Jones by The Bluebirds From Montezuma..........one of my many favs that ive found on here........a great group i like to listen to in the morn with me cuppa


somebody told me it's mind over matter
but does it matter to you that mine is in tatters
cos I'm sick of what I'm seeing on my devices
it's breaking my brain

advice never asked for, watch them boiling wooden spoons 
hearing peoples cringy songs with them singing outta tune
and pretending that they listen
to get a good review

or watch them bury their heads in their hands as they weep
cos they lost everything they got nowhere to sleep
and from the comfort of our 24/7 live feed
we can give it our armchair critique

and as always there's talk, endless conclusions
everyone shouting so there aint no solutions
to the problems that lie at our feet
seems they only exist when they're on our screen

branded and tagged like cattle at the station
trying to be our authentic self on rotation
but we can't shut up about it
cos everybody's gotta know

so many conversations we're all trying to be heard
and not paying any mind to the things that deserve 
our attention deficit has never been so bad I've heard
since 1963

and as always there's talk, endless discussions
like a blow to the head can give you concussion
like the problems that lie in our homes
seems they only exist if someone else knows

we protest cos the cows are fartin to much
but if we eat any, the plant lovers hate our guts
cos they rather we live on daises and nuts
so we can squeeze through a crack in the wall

maybe what we need to do is find a quiet space
pull up a chair and stare into space
and for 5 minutes just be alone with our face
and shut the fuck up for a while

Star

John Stone

These are dark dark days and dark dark nights 
Do our best days lie behind us? 
As I made my way on frosted feet 
Would I stumble, would I fall?
I lift my eyes in search of light
Only clouds fill the horizon 
In the dark I see  there no-one near
Is  there nothing to rely on? 

But surely there are better days
The beating of the drum 
Will fade away, the clouds will clear
Are there better worlds and better times and better thing to come?

Then I saw the star
It’s courageous light
Had travelled far 
To be there that night
Pushing through the clouds
‘cross the scudding  sky
A message from afar
And it gave me hope that beyond the night
There’s a blazing sky
That’s filled with light
There are better worlds 
and better lives
And brighter days by far
I remember that one night I saw the star.

So I looked around Though the light was dim
but my eyes grew strong from the fire within
Now I see that there are other’s near
With their eyes ablaze as they conquered fear
And we walked together arm in arm 
As together we would Am feel no harm
Though clouds may still obscure our view
We could feel a future better, bright and new

For All Creation

Note: If your religious and offended by people trying to find clarity in the world of belief. Maybe skip this track...

I talk openly about my beliefs that religion is Earth poison just like money so I don't think I should tip toe around that here either. I'm always respectful when someone else talks about their beliefs and I choose who to mention my firm beliefs to (if anything is currently firmed up at that time)... But it's time I painted them to my music properly too So 🫡🔆

I am a spiritual person and I think it's a possibility there may be an afterlife. But religion didn't make me realise that or show me a way to genuinely feeling that. I found that myself and I would have found it a lot younger if it wasn't for the lies and indoctrination that was attempted on me as a child by church and religion.

I think it's time we called out churches for what they are for most of us and what they should be if they want to survive. They should be houses for adults to go and confirm what they believe but in my pea head opinion you need to have a good chunk of the universe learned before you start trying to figure out your spirit and soul because the way it is now... They don't let you figure out the universe properly! How can we Co exist with that ! I'm not anymore and my kids aren't anyways. We will continue to be respectful towards everybody's beliefs. But these are mine. I don't have any and the truths I'm trying to figure out will change everyday because they involve only real truth as I see it.

So if your offended... Well no one has ever apologised to me for the lies and limitations religion put on my life so... I'm not sorry because I don't need to apologise to a realm that limited my thought and still tries to limit the thought of children today 


Here's what I think of Jesus. I think he has the same spiritual power as my Grandparents do as individuals too. They give me serious power. I don't understand that fully and I probably never will in my lifetime but I do embrace it. However I accept the large possibility that it is a self inflicted hypnotic/placebo effect born of neuroplasticity in the brain. Simply, I may just convince myself. Spirituality for me is deeply personal. I only discovered it's power by discovering it myself my way. The spirits represent part of me that has existed and still exists in memory/consciousness and a merged intent. I believe spirituality might actually evolve as physical beings do. Like Jesus had his niche 2000 years ago and it sounds like he found out some things. But look, he didn't even write them down himself. Others did that and then a few version redactions later we have one book... Not for me thanks. He was a man and that was it so I won't put him on a pedestal. I will however appreciate his good spirit like the good spirits my Grandparents are and my friend Tina and all the other spiritual energy those powerful individuals project in the universe


In the grander scheme of ideas and collective projections... There is still way too much war because of belief to be ok with just letting it be... It challenges the entire existences of too many people for it ever to be a collective positive for life. When we treat it scientifically and we all meet up for that spiritual gathering... then I'm there everyday, not just Sundays


I believe we had the second coming already s lot of times. Ian Brown was was one time. Along with the rest of that band. The random dude across the street from me that I don't know. They are a new version too.

Buddhism is the closest I think I would associate myself with. Empowering the individual. That doesn't have to be selfish but it does start from a foundation that you only have your eyes and as far as we know telepathy isn't possible. So as we grow to learn our consciousness more in science, my "guess" is we will find beings connected to one energy without the need for a god because we are god and we create the world we experience
