Just listening in my office to this awesome playlist! Sometimes I forget and think I am back in college, listening to the B52's, and then sometimes other great bands of the era. Thanks for being the playlist to my Monday!
I dream of peace and a million just like me... what an awesome lyric. This was a really bright and happy song, even though the world isn't quite there yet! Great song!!
Summertime in Boston, and this little tune is about how it goes by way too fast. Some hilarious chatter between the guys before and after they kick of a pseudo-psychedelic groove that I hope you will enjoy.

I wrote this one last September.
Allison Jane Sixsmith 1965-2016.

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth
He thought…
We're bored in lockdown again. I call out for collaboration and Joe Whibley pops out of the aether. And this is what happened. Joe did a fucking fantastic job with most of the work (playing all the instruments and a vocal), I just stuck in some…
Are you scared to wake up?
In the same place you laid your head.
You scribble on your make up,
To pretend your face's not dead.
And I know,
Yes I know.
The opposition shows.
Are you afraid to take up?
Memoirs of your past.
You hang…
so.... i first wrote & recorded this song in 2015, and then did a new version in 2017, and here's my updated 2020 version...
still not totally happy with it but... here we are anyway lol...
I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.

When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking…

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

The kind of sunshine I've come to expect from you. Very lovely - uplifting, retro, tight as a drum. Love it!
Sorry I misunderstood it's the way it was worded. Thanks for the kind words and keep making music it's all the world has left that is pure.
This is really REALLY good!
Did you come from Heaven?
Cool retro vibe as usual. You lads always make me smile!
Retro sunshine, as only you can!
Somehow you make "you don't love me anymore" still sound upbeat and happy! La La La La La! Love it ;-)
Hi to Joe and and the guys. Nice polish on this. One of my faves.
This hits the spot! I agree with previous comments, Byrds, Kinks, something from a long lost era. The song feels very familiar to me. Very inviting.
great, and funny
You have great atmosphere in your songs.
hilariously good
This is so good! Sounds like the byrds era music. nice lyrics
Brings up the memory of Grateful Dead for me. The song just drifts along to a happy ending. I like the bantar at both ends too.
You guys have a very unique sound! It's very enjoyable.
You should write country music.
Wistful. Right up my alley.

I've missed too many of your amazing tracks. Today I'll be revisiting your world of music.
Excellent! This track is screaming for visualization.
Simple and sincere. I love the raw quality of this track.
Indeed!
Great! Is the title a reference to Matthew 6:13? Fun if it was, amazing if it was not!
