DON’T EVEN TRY
A lifestyle change in a shooting range
A tightened vein tastes like cheap champagne
It’s hard to find such a troubled mind
So don’t even try

A screaming ear hears it’s oh so near
A comforting hand in another land
Will no doubt betray and it’s so far away
So don’t even try, don’t even try

Oh so likely it’s just another phase
You had to so much you just forget to read through
Small print that always follows satisfaction
Confession erection obsession
Take your mind off all you thought before
Take one step outside your closet door
You know most things aren’t worth waiting for
So don’t try, don’t try
Don’t even try

You’re stuck in a rut and you make a cut
A slice of a knife isn’t much of a life
So don’t even try, don’t even try
Don’t even try

Fun Facts:
This song is in the key of Dm and the guitar part is played using a drop-D tuning.
Don’t Even Try was performed as a live acoustic number on many occasions by George and Emma at various open mic events.

Clonk!: Don't Even Try

Walter Mmari is an independent artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa, composing ambient and electronic music since the early 2000s. Walter Mmari blends neo-classical works with elements of post-rock, new age, meditation and electronic music. Walter has also branched out into film and television soundtracks earning placements in independent productions. 

In Walter's own words:
In our modern age of constant distraction, I believe in the healing power of music. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Music is to the soul what words are to the mind and with these instrumental pieces I hope to take you all on a journey of introspection. Take a moment each day to listen to some calm music, to spend time with yourself, to remember who you are, to discover why you are here, and to set a course to become the best version of yourself. Music is the true bread of life. We are all angels in transit in this place we call Home.

I would like to thank you all for your continued support.

All of my music is also available for streaming at most online music services (Deezer, Itunes, Tidal, Spotify etc)

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

I come from London, England where the cosmopolitan musical mix is a melting pot of inspiration. I love many types of music from rock to reggae to jazz to just about anything. A good song is a good song in any genre! Many thanks to all those that listen, comment and repost!
