You can make things, break things
You can shake things up or down
You can twist it, can't resist it
You don't miss it when it's not around
It's not the time of year for making peace
It's the time of man, and his war machine
and his war machine…
This is the final track for the Metamorphis album, it is a musical soundscape, inspired by the Yorkshire Dales and the Moors. I have tried to paint a picture of the changing seasons and it should be taken in 1 minute sequences, 1 minute = 1 month…
I really enjoy the ascending "acoustic guitar" line about 20 seconds in (and all the sequenced falderal which surrounds it). Well, it isn't really falderal--I just can't think of a more suitable word!
Catch a rhythm

Catch a rhythm with your dancing shoes
Catch a rhythm girl you got some moves
Catch a rhythm keep it in the groove
Catch a rhythm

Catch a rhythm just do your thing
Catch a rhythm and feel that swing
Catch a rhythm…

Grey skies, crow flies into the horizon
Birdcage, road rage what do you spend your wages on
All alone smart phone no-one you can ring
Peacocks, cats and dogs, the butterfly stings
Your friend indeed, my friend in need, another friend in debt…

Taking a few liberties with copywrite laws here, includes riff from Shakin all over, and the middle eight is house of the rising sun.I hope someone has a sense of humour
Hey there...I really enjoyed this one! Your voice reminds me a bit of the late great Kevin Ayers, and of course these Joe Meek songs are always a blast. Great how you mixed it up.
I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
Another collab with Jip, with me adding the vibes, pad of the orient, flute and vocals.
From the original da da da da das before I came up with any lyrics, I wasn't happy with any of the melodies. This is the result of me getting bored with…
The new one's almost done, but as this site hates Windows, got to delete and upload songs to move them up !!! Blame the Grandson for this one. Toby asked 'what's that' A Electric guitar, said I, hadn't played it for years, out popped this, bless…
Alone for the weekend so here's another.....Reg has really got to stop being a peeping Tom he's going to get caught one of these days.......
I Love her (Lyrics)
she wanders about inside my mind sending me crazy from time to time but i love…
BLEEDING ON THE GROUND
ALL THE FEELINGS SOUND
ALL THE NOISE IS DOWN
EVERY WOUNDED JUNKIES CLOWN
SWIMMING IN A MOUND
OF PILLS AND POWDER
ALL THE PAIN IS LOUDER
ALL THE TIME IS MORE
BLEEDING ON THE GROUND
ALL THE FEELINGS SOUND
LIKE…
FDR emerged from his cave one morning and took a stroll,it was a blustery day and his ears blew back like two streamers in the wind. He went down into the woods and there in the dappled sunshine he saw something gleaming through the…
One for the Musical i think a gin soaked Tramp semiconscious laying collapse on his back……………………
He wants to fly (Lyrics)
The nights memories
Fade when he lies
Looking up to a polka dotted sky
Falling backwards into a gin Soaked to the skin…
Dug up an old one. I'm sure 'True Blood' had something to do with this. All I do know I was just getting over Flu, hence the voice !!!! No more Flu please, twice in my life is enough !!!!
Old timey'st of versions. reminiscent of a deserting war warn civil war solder heading back to see a lady left behind. Close your eyes and try to smell the camp fire and burned coffee.
I've been messing and listening to a lot of Tom Waites i suppose his influence has rubbed of a bit ...well a little anyway...........
I want the love (Lyrics)
Crawling in the gutter trying to stand with phone
To tell you that I love you…
For UK people who liked the Testcard in the 70's. Youtube vid attached. Started as a project, sent to Lady Jane who did her magic. Ummed and Arrred about it, and eventually thought "just upload". Enjoy.
work in progress as the intro builds and a more mellow approach is set
4th version includes different drums yet again and other elements including some SFX that are iffy but they're just there until I add the Bass in the 5th version, haha…

This captures perfectly how incredibly creepy falling in love can be.

Wot, no comments? No Faves? Love it. I get it, and the idea works for me.

Nice one Mr Wolf!
oh yes thank you for that, really excellent now, beautiful bleakness
Cool! Has an odd one-dimensional sharpness it. It's like it rocks hard on a very narrow ledge.
