He plucked all of his feathers out one by one until there were none left.
"I never cared much for flying anyway.." he said. |

lyrics:
I was just searching for family, and I felt all of a sudden a chill,
and that chill froze me still, like a knife through the gill,
I don't see family, no none at all, I checked through the cracks in the wall,
I felt like a Tiger, that had broken its paw, reaching for a handgun to draw,
I was still searching for family, oh how I wish they would jump out and yell,
I'm so scared can't you tell? Does my fear ring a bell?
I'm not a monster, but I know where they live, and I've heard of the secrets they give,
I found I am stronger, and more creative, and I know where my family is,
I was a man, with a mission at hand, and now I had found where to go,
Oh I love how you glow, and just go with the flow, from your head to your toes,
lyrics:
Your story is full of holes like your daddy's straw hat,
and then you clung to my soul like a baby Crawdad,
You're no longer mine, and you're out of time,
You need a little push, think you better hush, the sea is full of wine,
I can't believe the words you say, their full of holes like your daddy's straw hat,
and now you won't let go of my soul, you latched on like a baby crawdad,
You're no longer mine, and you're out of time,
You need a little push, think you better hush, the sea is full of wine,
You're no longer mine, and you're out of time,
You need a little push, think you better hush, the sea is full of wine,
You need a little push, think you better shush, the sea is full of wine.
A new song.
A lullaby I wrote for my niece.
my darling you're bleeding from your wounds i've no bandages for you
but i'm not gonna leave you no you're not alone anymore
the knife cut so deep your mind lay severed on the block
but i'm not gonna leave you no, my love, you won't be alone
as you lie there bleeding out the monsters crawl in from the darkness
but i'm not gonna leave you now hold on, hold on as best you can

'I've always wanted to visit the UK but never had the money. Bring it to me, in a song. Please.'
This is my first EVER nationalist song. I'm currently in the green, serene scene of southwest Wales, and thus have been inspired to write this for Matt. I'm not even nearly as skilled as Matt on the guitar, but it's something, and I hope, Matt, that you can picture the UK from these words.
Lyrics
Let me go out to the country,
Where trees have stood for a thousand yeras,
The sky is clear and quiet above me,
And the morning birdsong fills my ears,
Let me go into the city,
Where every colour fills the streets,
A manic masterpiece in motion,
It's oh so stirring and oh so sweet,
Let me go to the British border,
Where songs are sung of the olden day,
Public houses hold the worker,
And all of them sing their cares away,
And all of them drink their cares away,
Let me leave my resting headstone,
By that old cathedral in that Pembroke town,
I fell in love with an island kingdom,
And all of the things it's based around.
10 DOWN!

this is just wonderful i keep listening to it. as much as i love it's folk simplicity, maybe we can add 1 or 2 instruments to it?
but beyond that.. i really think there's a collab here. i'm not sure what it is. it's not quite a cities collab but by the same sentiment, expressing what you love about where you're from.
i've always been wary of people being 'proud' of where they're from and i've always frowned upon art with a national fervor. but i really like when people are INSPIRED by where they're from. i think these sweet lyrics sort of encompass that inspiration and longing for the place you fell in love with.
perhaps it could even fall into a 'home' collab? i'm not sure if there is one already.
anyway i love this dude
At the minute I first heard TheBaerGypsy's undescribably beautiful instrumental "Green Set Overture" (go check it out it's amazing!), for some reason I thought of the "Whale house" by rabbleboy. I guess there's just something so surreal and illogical in both of them, they're so beautifully dream-like... I don't know, it's a little experimental but I just had to sing it. Hopefully it inspires someone to do something :) I'll upload the stems first thing tomorrow!
Enjoy <3
It’s all just a bad dream don’t cry
It’s all just a dream, it’ll be alright
Let me tell you what we’ll see when we wake up
Let me tell you what we’ll see, let me tell you where we really are
We sail away on a whale
At the dawn of a brand new day
We’ve planted all the trees and we’ve built our own house
And no one has drowned
We sail away on a whale
No one cries, no one feels pain
Hear how the wind whispers, you heard what she said:
We never shipwrecked
First new song in three years! Whew... it was a long dry spell.
Stems are in results.
Haven't had much time for musicking lately so here's a slightly oldie - not without it's faults...
Oh my, the sky is burning
Why aren’t we learning
From past endeavours?
Foolish forever
The wind is in our favour
Why can’t we savour
Each breeze that blows us?
Let it expose us
But the seers aren’t seen
By the king or queen
We must convince them
We will be free then
As we’re meant to be
The boat that rocks is sailing
Sinking is not failing
A spell in the ocean
A most potent potion
The stars are not spying
The sun is not lying
The earth is honest
Open and modest
And so must you be
Really and truly
If you are living
Love is worth giving
But the seers aren’t seen
By the king and queen
We must convince them
We will be free then
As we’re meant to be
