This is my second shot at covering the Richard Thomson classic. It includes some clumsy attempts at integrating my new uke as well as timing imperfections. Oh well...

Heya Weave, I've never heard the original but this is sweet!  Love the touch of harmony on the hook and the uke sounds like its coming along just fine :)

i am not familiar with the original but i enjoyed this :) the uke is a great touch! everyone's always extra critical of themselves but for the record i didn't think it sounded clumsy! sounds great 

great stuff up here man. liked this one a lot. thanks for the follow

From the upcoming album "Of Love &amp; Death".

Crossroads(Heartsong)*Ruu Campbell

This is a song about how our personal, spiritual journeys are one of a kind and therefore we are all hopelessly, impossibly separate. In many relationships, romantic or otherwise, this is the caveat, the condition. This song is about feeling resigned to this fact and acknowledging the bittersweet consequences...

Don't Wait Up (Early Version)

Featuring my new uke...

Oh, play me a blue song and fade down the light 
I'm sad as a proud man can be sad tonight 
Just let me dream on, oh just let me sway 
While the sweet violins and the saxophones play 
And Miss, you don't know me, but can't we pretend 
That we care for each other, 'til the band reach the end

One step for aching 
Two steps for breaking 
Waltzing's for dreamers 
And the losers in love 
One step for sighing and 
Two steps for crying 
Waltzing's for dreamers 
And the losers in love

They say love's for gamblers, the pendulum swings 
I bet hard on love and I lost everything 
So don't send me home now, put a shot in my arm 
And we'll drink out old memories and well drink in the dawn 
And Mr. Bandleader, wont you play one more time 
I've good folding money in this pocket of mine.

(This is a cover song. Music and lyrics: Richard Thomson)

Waltzing For Dreamers

i was walking down an alleyway in london with some friends on a hot summer evening ...
it stank so bad...and i said to my mates..."smell the urine-isn't it divine?!" ...they giggled...and that's how i got the title for this song.

in places like london or new york there's a constant fear that corporate forces will suck the blood out of city life...
there's a fear that there will be nothing left but neat faceless buildings and the artistic community will vanish...
i've worried about it too,but i realise it will never happen,cause cities by their very nature are where people come to further themselves...and find themselves ...and loose themselves...
and you can never homogenize people....because people like to drink and laugh and love and fuck...people are smelly and messy... the smelly chaos people cause might be a drag sometimes,but it's comforting too...it reminds us of our humanity....so i'm not gonna worry too much about corporate culture ruining our cities...i know that people smell stronger than buildings or money.
from the soho gutter to buckingham palace, people are pissing and shitting themselves in more ways than one....life is life is a beautiful scary thing.

with the music. i've tried to conjure up the feel of the soundtracks to the movies i love..'the good the bad and the ugly'...composers like john barry who did 'diamonds are forever'...david lynch films...ennio morricone soundtracks.....and the video itself pays a vague tribute to joe orton..he wrote plays, and was murdered by his jealous controlling lover...joe was asked to write the script for the beatles'help' movie but was thrown off the project cause he made it too sexy.... a real shame..it would have been amazing...and joe went to jail for defacing a fucking library book....this was the making of him..before jail his work was average,but the absurdity of being banged up for defacing a library book unlocked the humour in him,and from then on he became big star of the london theatre world...he was a good sweet luvable man,but he had a fondness for hanging out in mens toilets....hahahahahahahahaha
it was tricky making the video...the police and public weren't too happy with me hanging out around the public toilet with a camera..but the homeless man was like a gift from the gods...i felt so grateful and lucky when he sailed into view....he is the star of this little clip,and i gave him every pound in my pocket for opening up like he did.in so many ways there's not a lot of difference between a homeless man and some royal prince. ...we're all flying by the seat of our pants

all my loving to you as always...
mary of the wilderness.

Inch Island - Rónán Kearney

I'm a one man band playing/recording in a bedroom studio in Perth, Western Australia. What I lack in musical ability I make up in the love of it .

In bygone times I've variously busked and serenaded (cacofonixed?) my way around the place. I've also been in a handful dubious bands. You know the story: drummers that couldn't keep time, an old radio serving as the guitar amp and a bassist (with the squeaky Neil Young falsetto) - a little Hitler, who was actually in it 'only for the chicks'. Back then, being able to make demo in a studio was a remote idea.

I'm into lots of things. From Baroque cantatas to polkadot ska. The profound as well as the banal. Roots, chocolate, the moan, the stretch of the rack...
