Episode 219-Fish Luv

 

https://ia601509.us.archive.org/2/items/CeskyLivesEpisode219-fishLuv/Clep219-fishLuv.mp3

 

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a distorted Ukulele song about how attraction to a person is not necessarily something that equates with the pursuit of that person being a good idea. The title comes from a Jewish proverb about a guy who says he loves a fish he's eating, and a rabbi lays into him about how if he actually loved the fish he'd not be eating it, it'd be in the ocean free and alive. Anyways, there's a lot of words in this one, and they're far from serious, hopefully it's a good listen. Thanks for your time and ears, here's a video/drawing to go with the tune:

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a simple, fast ukulele thing in honour of all the ladies in the world who have survived and thrived and excelled despite abuse from empty nasty men in their lives, idiot partners, terrible dads, random nasty people etc. I've met, as has everyone I guess, a whole lot of people who are thriving when they would have had every right to just shut down straight up at some point in their lives, it's encouraging, and excellent, and these people deserve some praise and kudos and the like. Hopefully it's a good listen for you anyways. Thanks for your time & ear.

Episode 217-Talk To Me

https://ia601506.us.archive.org/23/items/CeskyLivesEpisode217-talkToMe/Clep217-talkToMe.mp3

 

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a slow depressing mandolin thing about using life's mess as an excuse to make more mess, which I know I spent a large amount of time doing in the past few years and so anything sounding like a dis in this song is aimed squarely at myself, in retrospect however, I'm not a huge downer on my own self at all times, but in a song sometimes you get into that kinda thing. Anyways, a huge thankyou to all the folks who put up with me during the miss adventures I created and here's to intentional adventures in the future, that are positive.

Episode 216-Lions Head

Hello listeners. This weeks tune comes from some old dark places so I won't tell you what it's about so much, except to say that it's positive underneath, despite probably sounding not at all that way. Hopefully it's a nice listen for you anyways. Thanks for your time and ears. Below is a link to a drawing/video to go with the song:

Episode 215-F*knugget

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a bit of reminiscence on the effects that way too much drinking can have on me, and how not doing that is good. It's also about self deprecation I guess, but not in a bad way, more aimed at past things than things happening today. There's some stuff about Jesus in there too, losing to win and the like, the conundrum that is seemingly awful behaviour being rewarded with success and gain and such, but maybe that gain is empty and attempting to do better in a human sense is more important. I hope so anyways. Hope it's a fun listen anyways, bit of swearing in there if that's not your thing. Thanks for your time and ears, and support.

Episode 214-The Leper, The Cripple & The Light Of The World

Hello listeners. I've been listening to a whole lot of 'The Innocence Mission' a band who sings songs about Jesus, (and a ton of other things), because they believe in the man, but not in a preachy way, in a really personal lovely, excellent way, I recommend you listen to them if you dig calming kinda sounds. Anyways that and my reconnection of late with the whole Jesus thing led to the writing of this song, which is not as calm as Innocence Mission, but is written like I would write a thing rather than just using words out of the Bible like 'worship' and 'hallelujah' and the like, (although hallelujah is a pretty good word). As always I'm not preaching at you, these are just things happening in my head, acceptance and the like from a higher power being not such a terrible idea to latch on to it seems. Hope it's a nice listen anyways, the idea is to find a way to sing about this stuff without alienating or excluding anyone, because it's a part of my experience and I write songs to share my experience.

Episode 213-Devils

 

https://ia601508.us.archive.org/29/items/CeskyLivesEpisode213-devils/CLEP213-Devils.mp3

 

Hello listeners. This tune was written on the bass, real simple, real dark sounding thing about memories of reading about King Herod sending men out to kill baby boys in case they were Jesus, because he was scared of losing his power, and how there's definitely some universal truth in that story that's fairly painful and also kind of happening everywhere, small scale, large scale, always. Anyways, hopefully you enjoy it, was fun to play and mix and the like.
