Call your Mother!

Something’s coming?   Something’s here!

I recorded this last Friday. Without over explaining the song is about uncovering good stuff when things break down. I just typed it out and right now despite some inaccurate Morse Code at the end I think it’s my best lyric.  It goes like this:

call your mother

 

if you took,

all the darkness in me

you could whittle it down to the shape of a key

it would fit,

in the red of the rock

and release all the lava  and stop all the clocks.

 

something’s coming,

distant drum, drum, drumming

earthquakes,

thunder,

call your mother.

 

If I swam,

to the depths of the sea

I would pull out the plug

just to see what I see

and the coral,

would rise up just like trees

as we struggled for breath

on our blistering knees,

 

something’s coming,

distant drum, drum, drumming

earthquakes,

thunder,

call your mother.

 

When the walls,

have all crashed to the ground,

When the trumpets have blown

When the sky has come down

I will stand,

and applaud to the sun

for the end of the world

could be something begun,

 

something’s coming,

distant drum, drum, drumming

earthquakes,

thunder,

call your mother.

dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit, dit dit dit dit, etc

dot dot dot dit dit dit dash dash.

 

For the film I was lucky to find a great film on Creative Commons to chop up for my own ends.  If you’d like to see the original here it is (smile) https://youtu.be/QieZx_Elbb4

Stay Well and speak very soon!

 

March Already?

 

How are you ? It’s been a while again but I’ve been busy honest.

There are a few things been going on, January we were in a theatre with the  Dance Company ‘Moving Stories,’ great to be asked and nice to be away from pubs for a while.  I know it was filmed so if I get the footage I’ll share it. Here we are nicely composed for the Show.

The rest of the band can pretty much play anything so in February we took a side-step and   played Jazz, backing Lido Len on trumpet, I got to put down the guitar and croon those songs my Mum and Dad used to play – nice.  Here’s Len:

Mainly I’ve been recording the Second Album “Greatest Hits Vol. 2” which should be ready by the Summer, I’m one track away from having it all recorded, and I like it!!

Last for now our percussionist Jawad (above second from right) runs a Mens Mindfulness session at Balham Bowls Club (Monday nights if you fancy it) and asked for a jingle for his Upcoming Podcast so in lieu of a proper song here’s some nonsense for you until next time.  Stay well! Love
