Something to do with the inadequacy of words and Jung's collective unconscious.. There are over six thousand living languages currently spoken on this planet. Six thousand tribes, Six Thousand man-made lingual systems full of words claiming to explain the inexplicable. I'm already bored... Let's have a beer.. somebody should call Tom Waits, or Leonard Cohen...
lyrics
“In the air we breathe”
Earlier this evening, it started up again..
Had a drink and conversation, with my wife & my best friend..
Monopoly & pick-up sticks, turned into power, greed and politics..
From childhood games to grownup shame..
Man, this world is sick…
How can I believe, in nursery rhymes, quantum time,
Beyond the word conceive..
We can’t lose what can’t be found..
The talk is straight, but the world is ‘round..
It’s in the wind blowing through your hair..
In the world that we all share..
It’s in the air we breathe…
Later in the evening, it all became so clear..
We solved the problems of the world, then I had another beer..
Had some fun, fed my head.. a tequila shot me right into bed..
When morning came, without a change,
Can’t remember what was said..
How can I believe, in fairy tales or happy trails,
Beyond the word perceive..
We can’t find what can’t be found..
Your talk is straight, but the world is ‘round..
It’s in the breeze blowing through your hair..
It’s in the life that we all share..
It’s in the air we breathe…
Six thousand words that can say Hello..
But where the passions play, no words can go…
The alphabet of a hubris insane..
A rose is still a rose by any name...
It’s in the wind, it’s everywhere..
In this world that we all share..
It’s in the air we breathe…
Baby how.. how can I believe, in nursery rhymes, quantum time,
Beyond the word conceive..
We can’t lose what can’t be found..
The talk is straight, but the world is ‘round..
It’s in the wind blowing through your hair..
In the world that we all share..
It’s in the air we breathe…
(think I need a cigarette…)

I've posted some barely adequate recordings here, many bad writer's renditions, of a few songs I've written in my life.
Most of my songs never recorded, likely never will be. No matter, just mutterings to myself. I'm a lyricist who believes that language is a dog chasing it's tail. Didn't immerse into human life as I probably should've, or perhaps I immersed too much. The dark births the light....more

The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
