Episode 53-Local Anaesthetic



Here's the 53rd episode, a song about a dead end job, living a painfully slow, bored kind of life. It's a fiction, I don't live, nor have ever experienced this life but as a subject for creating things about it comes up a lot, not just for me, but a whole lot of people, the rat race and such, and like anyone I've experienced elements of this I 'spose. The song came fairly quick but it's odd sometimes then when you intentionally go for minimal writing it's sometimes harder to pin down the exact write word than when you're just working on down like a wordy word guy. I watched a lot of foreign animations with my kids on the weekend, Russian and German and other places in Europe and Japanese and Spanish things, I think seeing these, some of which were beautifully minimal, got my mind into the place where this song was happening. Thank's for listening anyways folks, hope you enjoy.

Episode 52-Eagle Visions For The Walking Dead


Hello listeners, this weeks tune is about hugging/being with my two kids and how important that is, and how it removes me from the picture somewhat, in a good way. It's also about my past, being an absent person in some ways because of mental health issues and the like, but how that's changing and how perspective gained from looking back is essential to that change. A lot of this tune is me just reminding myself of how I've been and how I need to not be that way again, which is highly achievable, even just by default, things happen to you and you're not the same afterwards, ever again, this can be used as a positive most of the time hopefully, get up and move on and such. That's how I'm seeing my own situation anyways. Life isn't so much what you make it sometimes, control is never a constant, but your reaction to things is definitely something you can choose.

Episode 51-Too Many Words



 
Hello listeners. Here's the 51st episode, we're creeping up on a hundred slowly. Anyways, this one is about me, my recent history, my personal stuff, meeting new people, changing entirely through doing so and through being out in the world, this song for me pretty much sums up my behaviour towards pretty much anyone who had anything to do with me for the past ridiculous amount of years and now I see the stupidity of it but am still behaving somewhat stupiditidly because I'm only human. Moving forward is what I think I'm doing however, and putting stuff like this into words, into tunes, is a good sign I think, even though it's probably very nearly too abstract to make any sense and may make no sense to me even in a couple of days. Like always though, a song is a song, it's fun to play, that'll probably last anyways.

Episode 50-The Very Last Thing


 
This weeks song comes with no explanation or run down or any of that stuff. It's kinda personal is why, but also abstract like most songs and open to your own interpretation, which is a good thing.

Episode 49-Horror Stories


 
 
This weeks song is about gossip, hearsay, having stuff made up about you I guess. I'll admit that I can be a pretty paranoid person sometimes so the feeling of being talked about for me can often be based on nothing at all, but nevertheless I think it's something that happens regardless and is really no good for anyone. This song is kind of about my paranoia as well as, I guess, the universal reality of people jumping to made up conclusions about other people.

Episode 48-The Bluest Pill


 
Here's episode 48, second for the year 2014. This one's about a tendency I've noticed in folks to talk up their drunk stories, and also their other substance stories, as if they were tales of heroism instead of something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Look, in some cases, these are actually pretty entertaining to hear, that can't be denied, but that doesn't make it a healthy way to be. Each to their own, this is just my perspective, but everyone knows that logically, substance abuse of any kind is dangerous and can mean you leave behind a lot of important people and things that matter.

Episode 47-Butterflies & Wasters


 
Happy New Year folks, here's the first tune for 2014, a straight up automatic writing piece of I don't actually know what, which seems to have something to do with intimacy, fear of said intimacy, and possibly the humans I have seen recently, being human. Very vague, I just let it out how it came out and recorded it straight away. Hope your new years eve was as fascinating as mine, and that this is a great year for you all round. Thanks for listening.
