Another experiment in juxtapositioning.  My melding of some acid jazz with a seasoning of classical inflections and a dollop of heavy metal guitar solo.  Half bake for a few weeks et voilá, the GBH.

Gearheads:

My Les Paul Custom doing all the guitar stuff and the sequencing care of the installed Fishman Triple Play.  Strings from my trusty guitarviol.

GBH - Ghetto Baroque Hymn

Sophie Dodds - words, melody, acoustic guitar, bass and vocals 
Reuben Taylor - piano, harpsichord, string arrangement and production
Gordon Webster - drums
Jon Bews - violin
Charles Dodds - oboe

Recorded in Edinburgh in March 2014 at Chamber Studio (with thanks to Graeme Young) and Reuben Taylor's house.

Walk me through the park
and I’ll point out the shining signals from your past
Walk me to the door
Because I’ve drawn every constellation that I know
Walk me through this dark
For all I have are ancient fables I brought back
From holidays abroad
And things I think of when I’m restless or I’m bored

Here’s my tiny map of Earth
Please come this far but go no further
This experiment is over now

All that we know 
Are childhood stories and the things we learned by wrote
Galaxies unfold
As we hold fast to facts as children we are told

Here’s my tiny map of Earth
Please come this far but go no further
This experiment is over now

This much we agree
The world holds many things
But stars and such are out of reach
If only like copernicus
We could rearrange ourselves
And build a new universe

Our love is now 
A pulsar star beating discreetly in the dark
This much we have gleaned 
From popular science on
Prime time TV

Let us not be a black hole
Down which our life and light must pour
This experiment could be much more

Was a good idea 
But it didn’t work try something else 
Can you think of anything better than messing with my mind 
Is this how you show love 
Is this how you show respect 
Watch me I’m gonna take all of my lovin’ back 

Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 

It’s a good idea but it’s never gonna work 
I just don’t like you that much 
I just want to make it hurt 
I could be nice but 
Fuck it I don’t wanna 
Why do you have to be such a loser baby 

Well I’ll try to ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 
Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
That the skies are blue forever 
That you just didn’t twist it just to save yourself 

Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 
Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
That the skies are blue forever 
That you just didn’t twist it just to save yourself 

Huh I’ve got to give you credit 
You keep it up 
You keep up all the lying no matter how many times I catch you out 
You keep it up 

Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
We’re as good and as bad as eachother 
You’ve got your head on wrong 
And mine’s screwed too tight 
Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
That the skies are blue forever 
That you just didn’t twist it just to save yourself 

Yeah Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
Yeah Yeah Let’s pretend we’re in love with eachother 
Yeah Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together 
Yeah Yeah Let’s ride the tidal wave together

“What you gotta do is play your own simple blues”
Voice rough silk thread sweet hook into my skin
Here’s quote from my own smoke hewn leathered id
Which is kids what I just did
Cosmic snake doorway swallow me whole
Hands on this wheel life, but no control
I still try to touch the sky
I still try to touch the sky

I took your greed playfully
Collected jewels dropped from your mouth
Let’s make everything be a toy
The walks at night tripping
It don’t take long for you to find your kind
And wrap them in your collage mind
You got an expansive no limits mind
A big heart sky reaching to my eyes
Let my ego die that art be glorified
Blacklight Vegas hot in my creation

“What you gotta do is play your own simple blues” - Iggy Pop

take me down to the green tree 
i wanna lay in the grass cuz i'm tired and my love don't care for me 

singing down the forest's path 
don't look for my shoes in the morning cuz i'm never coming back 

all your days are setting suns 
when your out living on the run 
trying just to smile again

Green Tree ~

Trying to transition into new styles i've always wanted to do.  This is a first try. Give me feedback!

As Low As You Can Go
words and music by chris pendergraft
performed by chris pendergraft 

Swing it on down
As low as you can go
Swing it on down
Till you touch the floor
Swing it on down
As low as you can go
Swing it on down
Till you touch the floor

Cant find no heartbreak
when I hear that music playing
Its something you can’t fake
When the band is swaying 
It happens everyday
The people keep it playing
It’s like an Earthquake
when I hear that music playing

Some get hung and held up
self conscious
cant put thier hands up
some one may be watching 
Slide your body all around town
You were born to be free



As Low As You Can Go
