Pigeon Love Harmony

Here’s a song that Josh Webster (zylascope.com songwriter/lyricist) wrote for me 30 years ago. I had a chord progression, and Josh wrote a great lyric for it that I thought sounded like it could be a chorus. I never finished the song. It was always just a chorus. BTW, Josh wrote the lyrics for the song Haunted House (Louder Than The Big Bang – Zylascope Music).

Today I told chatGPT the lyric that Josh wrote in 1990 and I asked ‘her’ to write a song about a carrier pigeon that falls in love. So, all I need is some music for the verses now. What would you suggest?

Here’s what chatGPT assembled…

(Verse 1) In a world of letters, where words take flight, pigeonholes stand tall, in rows so tight. They hold our stories, our hopes and dreams, each one a message, it’s not what it seems.

(Chorus) I watch the summer sun, set in the west, I turn my head, as I say goodbye. Forever setting in the sunset of my mind, Goodbye to my blue sky.

Pigeons In Love
Pigeons In Love

(Verse 2) Amidst the letters, a love story unfolds, A carrier pigeon with a message to be told. Flying through the air, so swift and true, But little did he know, love was waiting too.

(Chorus) I watch the summer sun, set in the west, I turn my head, as I say goodbye. Forever setting in the sunset of my mind, Goodbye to my blue sky.

(Bridge) The carrier pigeon landed near the pigeonhole To deliver his message, his heart’s true goal. But there he saw her, a beauty so rare, Another carrier pigeon with feathers so fair.

(Verse 3) They fell in love, those birds of the sky, Their wings entwined as they soared up high. A union of souls, a tale of romance, In harmony they danced a timeless chance.

(Chorus) I watch the summer sun, set in the west, I turn my head, as I say goodbye. Forever setting in the sunset of my mind, Goodbye to my blue sky.

(Verse 4) Beyond the love, the song of the dove, The song of conservation, a message of love. Wildlife and humans, together we stand, Protecting our world, hand in hand.

(Chorus) I watch the summer sun, set in the west, I turn my head, as I say goodbye. Forever setting in the sunset of my mind, Goodbye to my blue sky.

(Outro) So let us remember, as day turns to night, The power of love and the world’s true light. In pigeonholes of hope, our stories reside, A symphony of voices, forever side by side.

New Beautiful, Awesome, Healing Music From Paul Searles – The Soft Lights…

The Soft Lights is a new project from Australian composer Paul Searles.

I’ve known Paul since Uni, (30 Years). During this time Paul was the keyboard player of Sydney funk band Skunkhour, he has scored films (James Cameron, Glen Goei), theatre (Wild Rice, Bangarra, Belvoir), made films (AFI/FTO director grants), won writing awards (NYC Midnight, Theatreworks) and played keyboards for well-known artists (Jenny Morris, The Reels, The Sleepy Jackson, Jimmy Barnes). He began his career in architecture.

Paul is currently in-house composer at The Gunnery in Singapore.

Paul says:

This album deals with a few years of grief and trauma in a beautiful and gentle way, featuring strings from members of the Australian Chamber orchestra.

Have a listen it’s beautiful…

Check out Paul Searles bio.

Be careful with this new music. I’ve been listening to BROKEN on loop for hours. Facebook #zylascope @GeoffWilliams says that I posted about Paul’s new song at 9:50 pm. It’s now 12:30 pm. So over 2 and a half hours and I love it. I don’t know how I can turn it off. Let’s see what happens. Will I wake up dead, having fallen asleep at my Torvalds-style stand-up DAW and being lobotomized by my headphones? We’ll just have to wait and see. You’ve been warned. I thought music was a healthy addiction. If I live, I can always go back to smoking. 

Paul sings on these songs. He told me once that he didn’t think he was a very good singer but decided that since he had played most of the instruments on his compositions that he could try singing them himself.

Why not! Hey even I can sing these days Paul, with Autotune 🙂

But after hearing the song many times, I conclude that no other voice would suit the instrumental side of the song like your voice Paul. Well done. Let us know more!

 

Article written by Geoff Williams. This is not a paid promotion but I  am hoping that Paul sends me a few copies on CD or Vinyl that I can give away on my website. and I’m hoping he gets a Platinum disk. He won a gold one for a Skunkhour song. Skunkhour were an awesome Australian band. It’s great to find that its members are still making great music.

Meadow Argus – Dancing Through A Slow Apocalypse

New EP: Meadow Argus – Dancing Through A Slow Apocalypse

Jevan Cole’s new EP is here and it’s impressive. Singing, Guitars, A real band, real instruments, drums, plus synths, sampling, effects, modular synths, a plethora of post-apocalyptic sonic celebrations and emotions. If you are still able to enjoy music don’t miss this.

I love this EP and all of their albums. Have a listen with headphones on! The perfect fusion of Rock/band music and electronic/techno/dance/psychedelic.

I loved their last album Silverling, it was staggering. There are not too many artists in the music industry that can make a better follow-up album. But they did it. It makes me think that they may have the rare ability to keep this up for years. I’m hoping so. I’m inspired to do a new album myself now. Thanks, Jevan. Your music has always affected me deeply.

If you are starting to develop an allergy to autotune, this is the treatment your ears have been longing for. The singing on this album sounds so refreshing, nice and human.

Such great songs and soundscapes, so well performed and recorded. Listen very closely to it.

Read this great review about it from findnoenemy.com. An excerpt…

“You almost feel like you’re being transported into some other dimension, a whole other world to sink yourself in and immerse your existence within.”

That’s what I think too. I’m in a beautiful state after listening to it.

Listen to it here…

It helps you to hear the EP a few times without being interrupted by other albums. If you click it again you’ll see a number 1 in the center, that will loop one song. Click it until it lights up green and the 1 is not in the center, that will repeat the EP when the last track completes.

Please let me know if you do.

An actual work of love and healing. Well done, Jeven and Meadow Argus!

The lyrics for House Husband…

— House Husband by Meadow Argus —

Could’ve been a fire fighter
Or even an aeroplane pilot
Could’ve been a lab technician
Once I was a rock musician
I was a conspiracy theorist
Then an aspirational careerist
Could’ve been a psychic healer
Cos I was a blackjack dealer
But I’m living here with you
And it’s all I want to do
I’m your
House husband
House husband
House husband
House husband
Wash the dishes, feed the cat
Clean the windows, shake the mat
Make the lunches, sweep the floor
There’s the bus, get out the door!
I’m your
House husband
Could’ve been a field ecologist
Even a leading urologist
Could’ve been an archaeologist
Maybe a celebrity proctologist
Could’ve been an adult entertainer
You’d’ve had me on a retainer
Could’ve been an astrophysicist

Your personal la lalalala lyricist
