King Cassidy

Standing in the hospital hallway he watched as patients were wheeled in and out of rooms. It was a busy place full of life and death at the same time, an interesting juxtaposition by which to observe and reflect upon. Red lights flashed and flickered outside in the street as the ambulances whizzed away into the night with sirens blaring and tyres smoking. This place saved lives but it also left a haunting scar upon those who might be left behind. Take this guy for example, my face is held together by 52 screws. 

Silver Waves is the musical guise of UK producer Dylan Mallett. He creates expansive soundscapes and weird electronics which draws upon dystopian influences and a realm from beyond. This track appears as part of a wonderful compilation being released by Illegal Data, it features an eclectic showcase of far reaching electronic music, pop and beyond.

Night Drive

This song is inspired by the feelings of loss currently being experienced by GCSE, A-Level and University students who will miss out on celebrating all their hard work for the past two or three years. Apart from our friends and everything we have come to consider normal, we are all feeling a sense of despondency, remembering happy memories but mourning the loss of the ones that never came to pass.

In The End

He's not a young boy
he's been around the block
he's not a greenhorn
he know's what's comin' down
and yet she leads him
out into the fields
and tries to show him
something else that's real, and he says
                                                                           
SILENCE IS GOLDEN 
BUT SHE'S HOLDING ON TO HER DREAMS
SILENCE IS GOLDEN 
BUT SHE'S LOOKING AFTER THE STREAM
She's for the best of all worlds
she is my festival girl

What was she doing
while he was running round?
learning her sewing
tilling the stony ground
watching the birds fly
seeing where the bees suck
keeping her wings dry
waiting to run amuk, and he says
                                                                            
HER EARS ARE WIDE OPEN, AND
HE'S TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH HER MIND
HER EARS ARE WIDE OPEN, AND
HE'S TRYING TO KEEP IN WITH HER TIME
She's for the best of all worlds
she is my festival girl

She flies the hour glass
from the side of her tent
Was it worth waiting
till it was nearly all spent
he says: you could feed a family 
on the cost of one of these
she says: you could feed a country
if you plant the right seeds

HER EARS ARE WIDE OPEN, AND
HE'S TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH HER MIND
HER EARS ARE WIDE OPEN, AND
HE'S TRYING TO KEEP IN WITH HER TIME
She's for the best of all worlds
she is my festival girl

Arbiter

Joe Strummer, Ray Davies, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg, Jonathan Richman, Paul Weller, Neil Young and Frank Carter - just some of the people I've been (amazingly!) compared to. But really I'm just reflecting when I came of age musically, and enjoying songwriting and performing.
