And I like the inlay on the origin LP. Even if he's handwriting's scruffy... oh my dear BoP, are you old enough to have parents old enough to have that?
 Anyway, this is a little song. Quiet, barely sung. Getting a little atmosphere, hopefully. Sekt + Bier* A hug and a whisper I don’t know if she smiled, she just sat there like an angel next to me All I knew was I was so alive And circumstance and circumstance And I’ll pretend it wasn’t me She doesn’t like her smoke She just drags it in and spits it out and doesn’t dwell But she’s learnt to make it beautiful Her bitter breath I just sat there watching her lips move I didn’t hear a word she said *Yes, the names German and it means 'Sparkling Wine and Beer'. A little more poetic auf deutsch, glaube ich.  The '+' is simply because I don't like writing 'und'. It makes it kinda weird in my mind, and since the words 'Sekt und Bier' are only said on descretion, and if they are the 'und' is swallowed, it seemed weird to actually write it in the title. This may be on my next EP, I haven't decided... anyway, that's due ealy January 2005, depending on financing (birthday present!).

It's very nice. Nice level soothing voice. Makes Neil Young managable!

I've listened to it a few time now. It's really, really nice. She strikes (me...) as a cross between Eva Cassidy and Patti Scialfa (Bruce Springsteen's wife).

 This will be the first track on my next EP, whihc will hopefully be recorded in early Decmeber and ready for the new year. Sounds terribly swish, no? Sorry, not being sold anywhere, I'm an 'independant' artist! From the Rain I walked that way this morning The way we all danced home last night Dark but bathed in moonshine And the light from your soft eyes And you were vaulting all the puddles Because you’d bought these brand new shoes They were pink and wafer thin And made to have no use You’re just a girl in love with life and you don’t know it There’s something deeper in your smile, one day you’ll show it One day you’ll see you cry because you love the pain And want a friend to hide with from the rain You come crying back to me again ‘Tell me, what should I do?’ And I say the same thing every time ‘I would walk away from you’ But I wish that I could I wish I meant enough to you To leave you hurt, when you hurt me In finding your something new Chorus There’s nothing but just enough light to cast a shadow, And the whisper of the sea And tonight a white light making silver of what’s grey For faith was all you had to see Chorus

This is one of those quickly written songs. That is, it wasn't a long time coming, and it wasn't a long time in execution. It's born from the 'Oh I'm recording under three weeks' spurt of writing which always produces at least three songs, two of which, by law, are rubbish.
It's one of those Ryan Adams style rough-round-the-edges-musically-and-lyrically songs. It is as yet nameless, but for anyone following the 'Teen Abstinance' thread, it is willfully 'adulterous'. The tired road rocks me I pretend it’s your heartbeat I wish it was you Not regrets that rests with me When I said goodbye To hold you longer was all I wished And I love you I’m just not making any promises And it’s always too soon until you’re gone And it’s always too long until you’re here with me And it’s always too soon until you gone And it’s always too long, too long alone The girl along the way said your picture was beautiful That’s one more who agrees with me And I wish you were here to say it’s not true I wish there was more of you in me Chorus The tired road rocks me And I pretend it’s your heartbeat Chorus

Thanks
But it really is hard work to find a place in my house where the tv/telephone etc etc aren't more important. It's also really hard to persuade sisters to give constructive comment. *hint*

Fine, you convinced me.To be honest, there's not much to talk about in "the tired road rocks me". It's quite (dare I say it?) conventional. Nice lyrics but not strikingly original (I like the phrase 'a girl along the way' though - good use of syntax). I'll come back to "From the Rain" when I get more time. Just wanted to show you I wasn't ignoring your request

I get the impression you want me to be 'literary', so I'll do my best
