Back for another listen to this Cooper/Granthem special.

A great song; fine lyrical imagery and vocal, a wonderful, uncomplicated backing track. A lovely listen in every way.

Ahhhh i saw the clip on YT! So cool!🥳🥳🥳

Dug deep for a song I haven't heard before , so glad I did , this is a lovely song guys , so so good !

A project that attempts neutral ground with everyone. Trying to put the world situation into a song. Still working on the lyrics, any suggestions would be considered. Will post the full production soon, hopefully.

Pre - Vocal  Safe And Secure

Another track from my EP "Short Songs For Tall People"
Lyrics:
You say your name is society and you think you’re sick?
Sit down, patient, and I’ll examine you!
Uh huh, just what I thought:
That complexion of yours--grey as a flophouse bed sheet.
Your breath--reeking of smog and sewer gas!
Headaches? What do you expect, with nothing but cash registers clanging inside your empty skull?

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I howl, I scowl
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

Of course your stomach hurts!
You’ve swallowed too many dreams, too many hopes, and turned them into one gigantic ulcer.
Look out—your hands are trembling—any minute now and you may drop a bomb!

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
Steely Dan's a dildo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I play pinball
I play Pachinko
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

I’ve got news for you, society—you’re not sick, you’re dead!
Solid Baby!
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

And I’m going to bury you and dance the twist on your grave!
Solid Baby!
(Punctuated by finger snaps and applause.)

Beatnik Daddy-O

Tripple Clash

New song written by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Glen sent me a poem he had written.

I added music/vocal.

Hope you enjoy what you hear.

Verse 1

There's a place I need to go
The outer limits that no one knows
Lost amongst the atmosphere 
Every night you'll find me here

Verse 2

I need to taste the midnight air 
And feel the stars inside my head
Watch the sun begin to shine
The only place this world is mine

Chorus

Deep inside my sweet dreams
On a pillow made of sand
The ocean breeze is blowing 
Against these empty hands

Verse 3

Underneath the galaxy
 Is where I see my destiny     
The outer limits are where I go
The outer limits that no one knows 

Outro 
The outer limits that no one knows   
The outer limits that no one knows

Improvised blues....played after  making a dog's breakfast of a classical variation (Beethoven). After recording this track...I had another attempt at the Beethoven variation. Blues can sometimes be...cathartic

In My Soul

Oh Teacher

I am an unsigned singer/songwriter from Sunderland in the north east UK.

I have been writing songs for a few years now and have CD's on various web sites such as CD Baby, Itunes , Spotify etc.  My goal is to write good songs and hopefully have come up with a few along the way.

I love wring and recording songs – it gives me great pleasure staring from nothing but a blank piece of paper and finally coming up with something that sounds good.

I have collaborated with other people while being on Soundcloud – my long-time partner Ralph Donkin writes exceedingly good lyrics and between us have come up with many a good song.

My other partner Glen Granthem from Sacramento in USA has also been inspirational in my recordings – he is a very talented musician and producer and has brought life to many of my songs that otherwise would have been second rate.  We also have collaborated on many songs.

I have written songs with other people and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their endeavours.

Thank you for all of you that have listened and commented on my songs and those who will in the future.  I am very grateful that you stopped by and listened – hope you have enjoyed what you have heard.

Again many thanks and good luck for the future in your musical endeavours.
