Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
Overlapping noise-based drones playing time & tone shifted noise tracks ,often dozens of copies of a single source, off and against each other to create beat frequency throbs, overlapping rhythms and near chords.
It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…
I don't want to leave you
I don't want to turn and walk the other way
i don't want to leave you
even though you've never heard my name
and i rise from my grave
as if the world was mine to save
you were so cold and lonely
your offer…
When I put these last 3 songs on itunes, my computer did something weird. It told me that these songs were already out there on the internet somewhere. So, in order not to infringe on any copyright laws, I would like to assure everyone that NONE…
My big hit, I guess. Everyone seems to love this track. I do too. It's inspired by The Mars Volta's track "L'Via L'Viaquez," but I took things in more of a Pink Floyd direction with the extended synth solo that is evocative of the instrumental…

When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
I don't want to leave you
I don't want to turn and walk the other way
i don't want to leave you
even though you've never heard my name
and i rise from my grave
as if the world was mine to save
you were so cold and lonely
your offer…
This one was inspired by Wen's mom; and is therefore dedicated to all those musicians doing RPM, and all musicians who toil away at home to make their music despite what their friends & co-workers might think of their efforts.

I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.

this is very cool.
you really have a great voice.
Dunno if you intended it but a fine tip of the hat to the late great Lux Interior.
Loved it. Funk meets electronica.
Excellent cover. You made it your own version completely, which is difficult to do with a song like "Hallelujah". Well done.
Beautiful...
