This one is more of a reading set to music of part of a piece i wrote about a place i used to live. We used to walk most days down into the valley and i long to be back there, hopefully one day i will ...
There are a few fluffs in the reading…
This is a tune we did in 2011 and is featured in Ramen Music Issue 6.
I wanted to upload it to my last collection of Wildgeas tunes.

Suds mixed this version.

LIFE
The art of life, it lies between
Hanging on and letting go
I didn't ask to be alive
It's the best life that I know
So we are here, so let us be
Adding to the gripping tale
The universe can know itself
As we journey on our…
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…
We forgot to mention that Reg visited Norm's place a little later and added some vocals. The video is a ride through the US state of Virginia. The Texas Tavern serves cheesy westerns (cheese, fried egg, burger, bun) in the downtown of Roanoke Va.
Jip and JB in the Jipster studio, sitting down with guitars and a few beers, and many laughs. It was almost abandoned at one point, but we pressed on. Here's the result. I don't think the mouse has a name.
LYRICS:
With Or Without You
Try to get along but it takes two
It’s a Whole lot of me and not much you
Working myself right to the bone
Thinking that I am all alone
Just like a monkey up in the tree
Throwing your feces straight…
You want to be careful with that amusing yourself you can get hairs on the palms of your hands you know.......excellent instrumental....Are you keyboarded up now?
OK, so it’s a creepish song about Death, but how about my happening bass lines? This Psych Folk funeral dirge features Starry Nightmoth on KBs.
LOOK
Look in the mirror
See me standing there
Look out the window
See me everywhere…
A Blues number, and in the past it’s been one of my more popular songs. We’ll see how it does on AloneTone.
MY FAVORITE GUN
Pa had left us on the farm
Ten long years we raised the corn
Then he returned to Mama’s arms
To beat the sons…
GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry
There's no other way
Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day
- Don't know how to say good…
I've spent my entire life worshiping this band. Worshiping this man. Ever want to know what somebody's soul sounds like? Here's all the pain, the anger, the frustration and the torture buried deep inside of mine. I hope I do this song justice…
