You were here then you were gone
Crystal black in morning cold
Hand too tired to touch the earth
Or stars above Moravia
Born under a silent moon
At your feet the hens and mules
Bay and cry, I know they do
Here I am, and where are you…
From an idea in a poem by Pete Thompson.
CALEBB'S RETRIEVE
jmt/Pete Thompson
The crowd is restless
It's a quarter til noon
They're for a hangin'
And it better be soon
Sun's beaten' down
The Law's not in town
Hangman's dirty boots…
A strange beast that began back in 2021 as a chord progression that didn't go anywhere. I finally knuckled down and finished it. It has a somewhat awkward transition from verse to chorus, but when I tried shifting either to accommodate the other…
I come up to the surface
And take a breath on my return
Crystal waters on the surface
Light gets swallowed down below
And it’s the same way with my feelings
About you they stay much the same
Twenty years wrapped up in paper
Tied it up…
I love this....I was just looking at the weather forecast for Nashville...I'm surprised to see it's just as crummy down there as it is up here in Boston. Well, you've certainly caught MY frame of mind with this improv.
Another one for Steve, our bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.

Friends…
This whole album feels like I went on some existential journey seeking the meaning of life and got abducted by aliens instead. Or ghosts. GHOST ALIENS.

sometimes Reg realises what he truly wants but most of the time he's oblivious ...
All i want is Honest Love
The tangled web is woven with care
The spider doesn’t want you to know its there
It wants to catch you by surpise…
Half my life has settled into
Time to try the things we never
Make your mind up about it
White third eye embroidered on the
Waves wash out the water green and
Serpentine the river bending
And I’ve wasted half the night
Counting cards…

All i want is Honest Love
The tangled web is woven with care
The spider doesn’t want you to know its there
It wants to catch you by surpise…

That was a ride
Excellent composition, and a nice clean mix.
This another project of yours that I hope you'll come back to later and build on the solid foundation that's here.

Sounds good.
Excellent

You again with Neil! Well, again...a cool rendition of a NY tune.
Keith House or The Roadhouse from Season 3 of Twin Peaks? Mystical.
Quite possibly tied with The Simpsons "Dr. Zaius" as the best Planet of the Apes inspired song ever!
Great stuff -- I particularly appreciate the lyrics and the guitar solo!
Woo. This is great….it’s like a song that each one of the Beatles might have written after they broke up.
Nice….very nice. Someday I’ll ask you to explain how one might pronounce TwoRegs.
Soulful…..terrific.
