One more chance to wind up dead,

One more chance to climb so high,

One more chance to bust my head,

One more chance to get on top,

One more chance to make a change,

One more chance for shit to give,

One more chance to even the blame…….

Some settle down a familiar place
One lets go the wheel while the other one steers

One got the money that the other put away
Some held the world and the others couldn’t stay
A few just follow their dreams while the others stood clear
After all these years
After all these years

I’ve denied
Ever knowing what its like
You came around
You shook my ground
Now i’m searching for a drug to come down
You’re where I thought I’d never go
I can’t believe I did

Look out below
I’m letting go
Look out below
I’m falling completely
I lost control
I let it go
Now I can see so clearly around me
You’re everything I need

By any measure he’s a damn fine guitar player and along with his Flamenco Ensemble consisting of:

  • Two dancers – one guy, one gal, amazing balance and posture, fast feet with tremendous fluidity
  • One singer – with a scary big voice and a serious sense of rhythm conveyed via foot stamping and clapping (goes for the dancers too by the way)
  • One flute player – also pretty mean with sax and clarinet
  • One percussionist – I swear this guy had more than two hands

….put on a great show, Friday night in the Reading Concert Hall. An impressive display with the simplest of musical instruments (bongo drums and even a wooden box). And the ticket price – less than twenty pounds.

If you get a chance, go see them.

doubt in your faith
what you build you lay to waste
there’s truth in your lies
doubt in your faith
all I’ve got’s what you didn’t take

So I
I won’t be the one
be the one to leave this in pieces
and you
you will be alone
alone with all your secrets
your regrets
don’t lie

More news on that soon but for starters I’m gonna be posting some more “human” stuff here alongside the usual tech.

To wit, I’m not generally a fan of anything Sophie Ellis-Bextor turns out but I heard Catch You a couple of weeks ago and felt it worth hitting the iTunes buy button for this morning. Punchy, fast-paced and suits Sophie’s voice well. Co-written by Cathy Dennis (Can’t Get You Out Of My Head and Toxic).

Likely to be making an appearance on my next back-road blast in the BMW…..
