"The Dork Brand" is ONE fine record label... Killah !

A song about a song...

Here are the lyrics:

It rides a wave 
and it comes your way
no matter how far or how close

It hits your ears
gets in your clothes
like your smoke invades my nose

And you think, you 've had enough
Man i breathe in and i cough

You tried to stop it
but you can't
and deep inside you know it

This damn song baby
that you hate
will always have a heartbeat

So don't you cry, it's alright
everynight i'll try to hide
what i really want to say
between the lines

Now you learn what it brings
when you let someone out to freeze
and you 've lost control of 
what he sings 

It's just a song
it's not a bomb
just hold it in your hands

Or leave it free
for someone else
who loves it and who cares  

I may be right, i may be wrong
but there's no way to kill my song

You can suck a duck, or you can smoke a frog
but there's no way to kill my song

Hard Boiled

Dimanche midi, j’étais en train de remettre de l’ordre dans les papiers de ma défunte mère… Banque, placements, factures et autres joyeusetés. Pour le notaire… Je hais les notaires!
Puis, j’entends aux informations le décès de Régine. Même âge toutes les deux, et même gouaille faubourienne bien parisienne aussi… Et pof!, « Les petits papiers », j’suis parti là-dessus l’après-midi! Le texte de Gainsbourg est totalement en adéquation avec les tracasseries papetières et sentimentales que je vis aujourd’hui. Le résultat est bien moyen. J’ai longtemps hésité à poster ce truc… Meuhbon…

Ma préférée de Régine, et de loin, c’est celle-là:

Et là, on est en plein dans la chanson réaliste!

Les lyrics pour les Ricains™, à qui je ne désespère pas encore d’apprendre le français… 
En fait, si! Je suis totally desperate. Frankreich Über Alles. Jawohl!

Laissez parler les petits papiers
À l’occasion, papier chiffon
Puissent-ils un soir, papier buvard…
Vous consoler.

Laisser brûler les petits papiers
Papier de riz ou d’Arménie
Qu’un soir ils puissent, papier maïs…
Vous réchauffer.

Un peu d’amour, papier velours
Et d’esthétique, papier musique
C’est du chagrin, papier dessin…
Avant longtemps.

Laissez glisser, papier glacé
Les sentiments, papier collant
Ça impressionne, papier carbone…
Mais c’est du vent.

Machin Machine, papier machine
Faut pas se leurrer, papier doré
Celui qu’y touche papier tue-mouches…
Est moitié fou.

C’est pas brillant, papier d’argent
C’est pas donné, papier-monnaie
Ou l’on en meurt, papier à fleurs…
Ou l’on s’en fout.

Laissez parler les petits papiers
A l’occasion, papier chiffon
Puissent-ils un soir, papier buvard…
Vous consoler.

Laisser brûler les petits papiers
Papier de riz ou d’Arménie
Qu’un soir ils puissent, papier maïs…
Vous réchauffer.

My personal nod to the great #https://soundcloud.com/william-j-lepetomane

Grapevine Blues

This one is yet another cover, but this time with a personal connection. The Armchairs were a very early 80's Melbourne, Australia band featuring my current collaborator Ian Stephen. I saw an old video Ian had posted and suggested adding it to our set list. Here's my NYC style version done á la 1979. Here's the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI8S46v1MjY

I wrote this song about a year ago and was inspired to write the music after my uncle passed away who was a big part of the 1960s underground and psychedelic music scene in london ,the hippies of that time would frequent a place called the ufo club where they would drop acid and watch such acts as the early syd barrett era pink floyd and many other upcoming music stars of that time.
This song is a bit introspective as well as all things must pass like the music it was an end of an era [jim 2023]

End Of An Era [watch the video on youtube]

I like spaghetti & mellotron.
Thank you for listening.
Now go do that voodoo 
that you do 
so well.
