How did I NOT <3 this before ?... Maybe SC worked differently back then. Anyway, fixed now !

wow Michael - the rhythmic transition in this song is wonderful, love the vocal melody/sentiment as well

wonderful jazzy feel - subdued singing. Very evocative of Watford

amazing and lyrics are just so realistic to life.!!thanks for sharing this one.

best damned thing I did all night dropping in down here - back to work tomorrow - hopefully they won't swallow my soul......whole

Here's another gem from one of the finest musicians on SC.

I guess you've had Robert Wyatt comparisons before but this is so much better! Chris

Inspired by films, people I know and the  love of a three chord song :)

I Wanna Know

Mood Exhibit - Closer to Vast

The track picture is a common sight in the canyons of Colorado, and probably all of the Rocky Mountain states.  The sun can be shining while driving in the canyon, but miles ahead there could have been a torrential rainstorm that triggered a flash flood and it is coming...quickly.  You literally have to abandon your vehicle and climb the canyon wall or get washed away.  
The sign and song are metaphorical as well.  When flash floods of circumstance happen in our lives, we must seek higher ground so as not to be washed away in the emotional maelstrom.  Such was the case with Pat and his cancer diagnosis twenty months ago, and with my good friend and collaborator Elmer Stone who unexpectedly lost his beloved wife Bonnie a few days ago.  They are seeking and finding higher ground in their faith, families, and friends.  
A big thank you to Pat for sending me the "ditty" a while back but recently rediscovered that serves as the "higher ground" in the song.

Climb To Higher Ground with Pat Howell, Mandolin (In honor of Pat Howell and Elmer Stone)

This is an instrumental made in 2016 for the 3rd album of La Dernière Mesure, my hip hop project for more than 10 years.
You can listen to the original track here: https://ladernieremesure.bandcamp.com/track/marylou-suite-et-fin
I think this instrumental is the best I've done for this project, so I'd like to give it a second life through Zuunzug...

Lyrics:

(The Mysterious D.)
Rain falls from the light
The vows of the fox burn bright

(Cosmic K.)
Sun shines as the rain falls
Shadowy forest filled with lights
Silently processing forward
In the trees, flashing bright

Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(The Mysterious D.)
In the land of the rising sun, where legends,
myths and magic is spun
There's a tail of a fox bride
who comes with the rain by her side

(Cosmic K.)
Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(Mysterious D.)
In the land of eternal forest
where the love lies deep in root
If the fox groom sees you looking,
You might meet his overbearing tooth

And strap on the rest of the gear required for an interplanetary exodus - ok...maybe wait for a century 'cos we will have screwed things so badly that the hostile environs of Mars (albeit in habitable 'biome pods') may be the only viable alternative!!

Farewell To Planet Earth

Written mid 2012. I worked most of this out lyrically and melodically last year during a night time drive down the M40, and then shelved it. I was then having a lot of aggravation last month trying to write new stuff, so, because this one was basically done already I decided to record it in the hope it would be low stress, and it did actually turn out to be really straightforward – it isn't exactly complicated musically and, unusually for me, I had no trouble writing lyrics for a second verse. It's a song about the intense despair and existential reflection that can sometimes be brought on by mechanical failure. I also want to make it clear that I have nothing against Watford (granted I spent many unhappy years going to school in Watford but that wasn't Watford's fault, that was my fault – I would have been grumpy going to school anywhere). However, as a nominal grown-up not long after I had learned to drive I did once get stuck at the entrance barrier to one of Watford's multi-storey car parks with a long queue of unsympathetic motorists backed up behind me, in the rain (I was on a panicky last minute Christmas shopping trip as well) and the experience has stayed with me.

This is Watford
And it's raining
And I've stopped for
The parking thing
And I'm thinking about
When you were leaving
But the barrier
It isn't lifting
And there's no one
On the intercom
To come and help me
Can't go on
Can't reverse
I guess it could be worse

When I was young
I used to think
That everything
Would be just great
So this is not
Exactly what I had in mind
When I was young
I used to dream
I used to think
I'd be just fine
So this is not
Exactly what I had in mind

So I'm watching
My washing
Rotating
Through the window
Of the launderette
Coz my washing-machine
It just won't go
And I can't get
Anyone to repair it
At the weekend
And I've got no clean shirts
I guess it could be worse

When I was young [etc.]

When I was young
I used to think
I'd be just fine, yeah

This is Watford
And it's raining
And the barrier
It isn't lifting

Not Exactly What I Had In Mind

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
