Episode 20-Non-Descript

 
 
Here's Episode 20, a tune about love. Not in a love song kind of way though, more in an abstract kind of universal love sort of way, which is something that holds with my faith in Jesus and the like, but is also an idea that a whole lot of people have regardless, or don't have very intentionally, but I hold it in my soul like a little night light and hope for the best, hence this song. Sometimes things are OK with the world, not the entire world, but your own little part of it right now, or then, if you know what I mean.

Episode 19-Big Brown Bear

 
 
Here's Episode 19. A tune that in some ways was prophetic as far as my own personal experiences are concerned, which is a little creepy, but like they say, what you think is what you attract. Anyhow, it's about people, I'm finding myself out in the world trying to understand people and people are confusing me greatly, as they do all of us I guess. Specifically this song is about the night life culture in my city, Perth, which is probably not the most nefarious place in the world but nefarious people still dwell there openly, alongside a lot of non-nefarious types thank God, but never the less, dodgy deeds occur and they make me mad, frustrated, bewildered, etc... Have a listen anyway, see what you think.

Episode 18-Vagrant Amnesia

 
 
Here's episode 18. The tune for this week is called Vagrant Amnesia, it's about me talking to my imagination, and then imagining my imagination being a little creature stuck in my hair that annoys the hell out of people, which I imagine it would. As a for instance, I was on the train the other day and imagined a big ugly troll stepping into the train and making grunty gurgly noises and wearing a filthy loin cloth and just kind of freaking everyone out. If thoughts like that could have a physical presence then the thinkers of them would not be the most welcome folk in any place.

Episode 17-Brother


 
 
Here's episode 17, in the recording I say it was about a Friday night, but that's an inaccuracy, actually it was a Saturday night and Sunday morning, but not at all in a Paul Kelly kind of way, unfortunately. Being a little inexperienced at real life I found myself being led by and leading around two homeless guys on a bit of a night time adventure, they were nice enough, but there were reasons they were homeless that involved drugs and violent tendencies and being verbally abusive to many a person, and me eventually being a bit scared. True to their word though they did me personally no harm at all, and we walked around the city quite a ways and randomly met up with and spoke to many a friendly person. I feel badly for the homeless guy I left sleeping at a train station, but he was keen on that and I needed to escape back to reality, he taught me a lot about courage and adaptation, but he also frightened me like I said, so I don't feel too badly in some ways, he did say his life was his choice, and he could change if he wanted to. It was all around an experience, neither good or bad, but certainly educational. I don't know if I'm a complete bastard for being the lets have fun on a Saturday night guy to two guys who probably needed to go find a church to give them a bed and some eats, or if maybe I saved them from some trouble, I did a lot of smoothing over and avoidance of possible blow ups when verbal fights were taking place, being somewhat of a peace keeper. I don't know? societies troubles have a face and a name yeah, it kinda hurts, but you can't do any grand scale fixing of such things. Hopefully I showed these two fellas some love I guess, Nugget gave me a farewell hug at the end of the night, wished me well, was a decent human being in a lot of ways, never leaves a brother behind. The thing in the song about Crocodil is a drug a Russian guy told me to look up on You Tube, I did, it was horrifying. I sound kinda sad in this recording I think, this song took me a long time to right, and for me, it's pretty freakin' sad, so I guess you're getting some genuine internal stuff here, strange times indeed.
