New experiment based on an old idea

Atlantis

Originally, another instrumental but, thanks to Ramone, this has been transformed into a haunting song with wonderful lyrics.
Credit to Lord Byron for the recited passage, from his poem "The Giaour"...

"Thy corpse shall from its tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
To suck the blood of all thy race"

Vampire Lullaby (with Ramone)

When I was little
I ran through the grass
Got chased by a lion
But I bit it on the arse
I must have been in my pram with Nunky
Safe with Nunky

L'il Boy!
Are yer safe with Mother, safe with Nunky?
You better run, you better hide!
Li'l Boy!

Run from The City
Run from The City
Run from The City

Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Now

Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?

1.
I looked up to the sky this afternoon, 
The clouds were so ragged 
And there was even a half moon 
Peeking out between the two lime trees, 
I remember, I thought I would write a song about it 
But actually 

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

2.
I wanted to write about something completely different, 
Hmm, wildlife markets… maybe?
But I had to postpone that because of the view 
It was so homely and beautiful and it was just not at all 
Time to have indignant and stirred up feelings and thoughts

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?

3.
In the meantime a bird crossed my view of sight
Passing from the right over to the left side
And snapshot-like 
i spotted it in front of the moon
Oh, as i looked up at the sky this afternoon…

ref
I wanted to write about 
Something really different
Something that was on my mind
Something that made me think

How the heck could i just loose the fathom, and 
How did it come that far ?
Does it really need to be  so random and
Isn’t that a little bizarre ?…        (da capo al fine)

Of Desires and Dreams (collab avec NOXPOX)

Fly Away

For the occasion, I reworked this thing a little. It's a track from the archives but I always enjoy this one for the energy. Nothing too serious though :)

lyrics:

ah hear the phone rings
time for a night out
fragile hearts await to break like glass on
classy smiles and
aerosol touch of plastic warmth
enthusiastic spasms of a lovelife on the thresh
of lifting off

she paints her face down with red and sticky glue
wrapped around her eyes it looks like
wings of butterflies
look at all the flesh displayed
all this ecstasy unveiled
"run away with me," her body screams,
"you will be pleased to please, please me"

she's a happy valentine
such a happy valentine

kisses, hugs and funny talk
electrifies the air
look at her attention span,
"what with who and why and where?"
a gazillion pretty friends to give her
all the love she needs
in the centre of the universe she says:
"it's just ol' silly little
ME"

it's a happy valentine
such a happy valentine

Break My Reality

Fertile Ground is a hero's journey through the subjective world of dreams towards the ground of self transformation. "It happened as always in a dream when you leap over space and time and the laws of life and mind, and you stop only there where your heart delights." - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

"Dreams are extraordinarily strange. One thing appears with terrifying clarity, with the details finely set like jewels, while you leap over another, as though you did not notice it at all — space and time, for instance. It seems that dreams are the work not of mind but of desire, not of the head but of the heart… In a dream things quite incomprehensible come to pass." - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The Changed Present

Suprise song "out of the blue" as I struggled to record "windscreen."  I'd been so looking forward to the 2016 eclipse, I'd read a s#!t-ton of internets stuff and watched a lifetime worth of documentaries.  Planet was burning. Germinating idea was that Eb chord from the chorus of Jeff Buckley's "Grace.."💙  And I think I remember something about magnetars, supernovae and black holes.  Wormholes or something?  Time warp?  I dunno. No tellin'.  It sat and aged for a long time. Anyway. =j

Timestar - splat - off the windscreen

This track was written early on in the writing partnership between myself and @phoebegrace up in a small room above the ambulance depot on Tottenham Court Road. 

We had just bought Buddy Miles live from Sounds of the Universe in Soho. The version of ‘Down by the River’ seriously blew our minds. Especially the trombone solo. 

Booked in to record in Cambridge the following week with an old friend of mine, Will Walter. We played a live session - freely. 

That was in 2017. Since, the session has sat quietly on my hard drive, shown to friends and family. The track has morphed into a more complex piece and the final and happy addition was a saxophone recording by Laura Misch. 

We had met in a sunny pub garden in Sussex. I remember that I smashed a pot hole that afternoon and turned up late with a replacement wheel... very rockstar. 

She was very gracious and showed an interest in my music and recorded a piece that was immediately recognisable as her. I’m lucky to have it. 

It’s influenced by that Buddy Miles record, nods to THE Neil Young solo that was the first I mastered on guitar (not saying much). That’s a tall claim but I’m standing on their shoulders. 

I hope you enjoy the track. I’ve had it up my sleeves for years now and I am excited to let it go and fly. Please #share FLARES.
