here at southend-on-sea
where we used to walk with you
on the sand & the mud & the clay
that an ancient science
said we were all made out of
and here at southend-on-sea
my old man
old man river
old father thames
and old father…

fabulous song by the brilliant late robert calvert from my favourite album of his, Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters
I see myself a Hero
While one wings falls away
And the dial…
~
Memories long in music sleeping,
No more sleeping,
No more dumb:
Delicate phantoms softly creeping
Softly back from the old-world come.
Faintest odours around them straying,
Suddenly straying
In chambers dim;
Whispering silks in order…
A track written by Alex over 10 years ago and yet the lyrics seem more relevant today than they even were back then. Recorded and mixed by other Spencer sibling, Tomas.
~Essence of a musical box with the ballerina spinning around and around~ /as Bethan said/
~
Calm the night, unstirring,
And the air so clear
Pearls of dew uncurling,
Moonlight rays unfurling
’Cross the glassy mere.
Dulcet waves appeasing…
I posted this song a few days ago and Bethan liked the music so much she wrote her own words. Here it is, a co-write across the Atlantic.
SITTING BY THE WINDOW, NOTHING TO DO
WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
THE SUN SHINES…
*Pilón* reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.
A new son reveals…
Wonderful Norm just wonderful.....I feel blessed....I've got my headphones on and Sebastian asleep in his crib beside me.......and have too keep taking them of because I'm sure he's crying in time ....very effective
A song from the Easyrider soundtrack the music is by Gene Speed Demon over on Songcrafters and i'm on the vocal...this a song i've liked since a teenager after first seeing the film...well i got to sing it thanks to Gene....but i'll have to wait…
Absolute power corrupts absolutely....
Lyrics:
One cloudless night, freedom's candle was snuffed
Kicked and punched, gagged and cuffed
They took him away, for what he's not
Then cracked his skull, as a gesture for his…
Here's a song I recorded a couple of months ago when I had the flu ... as the voice reveals :)
Recorded early in the morning,in the bathroom, using the built-in mics on my boss br800.
