You can’t eat money
©2021 John Schofield
Watcha gonna eat when we’ve only got money?
When the bees are all gone
And there’s no more honey
Watcha gonna buy with all that bread?
When the waters gone sour
And the fish are dead
Watcha gonna…

Lyrics by me, performed by my e-band, Amigos Imaginarios
I could feel your deception
In the way you kissed
All those smiling lies
Dripping from your lips
Trapped by your own fantasy
Spider got the fly
Caught up in the web
Tangled…

Sometimes, just a bunch of rubbish from a soundcheck can be used to create something interesting. In this case, setting up to record tenor sax (with a tin-foil pie plate covering the bell), some microphone taps, and a bit of vocalising, most with…

Imagine a party with the tech elite celebrating their billions in bathtubs full of champaign. Elon and Zuck in a love embrace of deception as the world spins further into a blackhole of disinformation; but it's OK because they're "making the world…

You’re a fat fuck
If you have a son, probably a fat son
Everyone you know is fat, son
I know the deal
As a kid you were lean
But became a fat adult
And adults don’t fat shame a fat adult
Bad result
‘cause now the job falls on me
You’re…

This was the second song I ever wrote. Like some of the other recent uploads, this was found on an old backup drive but it cleaned up pretty well so... there you go.

[Verse 1]
George said, “I don’t know what anybody thinks”
The fact is nowadays, nobody thinks
No one forms an opinion
There’s no like or dislike of anything
No judgement of your fellow kin
Just hello ma’am
Yo fam and hola blah blah

I don’t see you on the Menu

A table in the corner,
A glass of Premier Cru
A waiter takes my order
But all I want is you
I don’t see you on the menu
Or I’d order two of you
But I don’t see you on the menu
And all…

As Fickle as the Wind
2020© by John Schofield
You’re a footprint on a beach
An imprint in the sand
Capricious as a summer storm
As fickle as the wind
Tell me who you are
And what you want from me
I need to know how far we’ll go…

This re-recorded song comes from the 2022 RPM Challenge. I am not really pleased with this new version. I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is, but there is something here that is making me unhappy.
The clean rhythm guitar is…

This one was originally written for the Record Every Month challenge last year. June 2023, I think. I liked it immediately and wanted to see if I could improve on it. I think I did, though marginally so. Even after spending a few months tinkering…

Abortion is wrong
How about not sleeping around, messing around, having sex with the wrong people?
If it is not the right one, don’t fuck them
So grow the fuck up
Live some life and if you find the right person, great

Yeah, I got so much soul, so much so that you just cannot hold yo
And it’s in the safe locked up tight where you cannot find it
That’s the breaks, that’s the key
And you cannot locate me, I’m hard to find
I’m the guy with the majorest cool…

Pretty old tune from the archives, never published before. Thought I'd throw it out there and someone somewhere might enjoy it.

Dolphins

V1
Into the wide blue yonder
Sailing on a sparkling sea
Canvas flying overhead
Dolphins dancing in the lee

Heading down to the islands
Leaving it all behind me
Going to find myself now
Gonna get some…

[Verse 1]
Through you I am, I do all things
All credit to you and to your gifts
And your help which is plentiful
You steer me clear of trouble
You lead me to a place of wonder
When I get a curve ball
You want me to learn from it
And I…

Inspired by a poem by Henry Longfellow:
Slave Ships
Beneath a mighty ocean
Lying buried in the sand
Are the bones of men in chains
With shackled feet and hands
Slave ships sunk in raging storms
Their freight forever restless

[Intro]
The fob, fresh off the boat, finger on the button for self-destruction
Why the fuck did you come over here?

You’re a whore
You’re responsible for the deaths of so many people
What the fuck, it’s unbelievable
It’s amazing…

Played around with a couple of new-to-me plugins on my equally new-to-me tablet, then connected a little USB interface to make sure the guitar signal would come through. Fun little 10-minute diversion that turned into a just-shy-of-2 minute "soundscape…

Something new....
Grey
Old paint faded
Dilapidated
Barely hanging on
Lay
Old butterfly
Broken and dry
Alone and withdrawn
Chill creeps in
Darkness tries to take hold
The cold is peace
And the dark beautiful
Take
