tongue tied

hello. thought i'd share my writers block with you.why doesn't my head do gravity.. My feet are getting smaller from my point of view. got arms wide out stretched though..at this speed i catch lots of flies. sometimes gets hard to speak


"cloudland"

with my back against the waves
I'm holding a sign up
says I'm caged and complaining
high seasons rolling in

where I'm juggling things
and seeing through them
for when the flood's coming

right now I'm getting my feet wet
I'm freeing more of myself
at high speeds off the top of my head
at high speeds off the top of my head

where I'm juggling things
am keeping them warm
at various speeds
off the top of my head
I am covered in bits
and seeing through them
for when the flood's coming

will I catch a wave in here
take me oh into light days
will I catch a wave will it
take me all in a light daize

a little slap around the ear ought to
take care of this
beat some sense into your fool 'cause he's
take care of this
when it's you alone in water
are you bait, boat or fish?
no retreat so surrender
are you bait, boat or fish?
==============================================
"oh not mad at all"

here is your past
and you'll be alive someday
come on this is the rest of
the morning is the best time to play
got everything you need
a vision if you wanna see it
feel it in a natural way
come on this is the best of
the morning is the rest of your day

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

like a rabbit cought... mainstream
the lion's share... mainstream
come on let's swim... mainstream

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

where am I now that tells me I'm ok
do I need corners and ceilings to navigate
got writings on walls to read
and a floor shaking beneath me

"organisation"

well are you thinking 'bout taking the fuss out
to find what you lost
is it you that takes a calculated step or
just stabs in the dark

.........................................................................................................

back to the drawingboard
to come back with something better
I had my head checked out
it's packed to the rafters

"sandane, where they do fresh air"

oh let's go outside where we can breath deeper
invite the undecisive minds to come over
could it be the best bet to get fresh on sunshine

oh let's go outside we may find it easier
invite the undecisive minds from today and onwards
wouldn't we be better off each and everyone of us
standing on mountains

to inhale the fresh air, to take your mind off of things
clear your picture, you're taking it easy
i can see right now and a host of other things
this is where i wanna, be taking it easy

"Half Moon/Roudhouse double", Monday 29 August

Hi!

Thanks to all who came down to support us on our "double gig" evening at the "Half Moon", Putney and the "Roadhouse", Covent Garden. A big thank you also to the new friends and fans we made along the way. Starting our day trying to practice in the beautiful "Wimbledon Common", where after about 10 minutes we were kindly requested to sort of shut up by people trying to enjoy the peace of the Common...Ah well.

We were first up at 20.30 at the "Half Moon" where we played 3 songs; "Seek up", "Facts" and "Cloudland". It all went pretty fast but we found time during the singing and breathing in to really enjoy it. Some people had some very nice comments about the songs, some were even touched. So we're gonna try to come back there soon, fully equipped with the rest of our beloved band mates..

Then we quickly made our way to Covent Garden where met up with our friends Line and Jasmine, who flew in from Austria that evening. Walked into the "Roadhouse" where luckily we were still allowed onstage last as we were pretty late. Happy 'bout that so with a smile and a "Corona" we celebrated this great Monday by playing "Six o'clock/Seek up" and "Cloudland" in front of an approving crowd.

Thanks to all who heard and see you soon...

Eva Linn & Rico

Gig at

On the 29th of August, Bank Holiday Monday, Eva Linn and me will be playing a little show at the "Half Moon" in Putney. We'll be on stage at 20.00 as part of their "Acoustic Session", which features 9 acts every Monday.

You're very welcome to come listen to some tunes and have a nice drink with us afterwards. We'll also be playing 2 very new songs. "Facts" which we've only played live twice - at the "Lark in the Park" show last month, and The Troubadour, a couple of weeks ago.... and we're gonna play "Cloudland", which we've never played live before and have actually just finished.... O ooh!!

See you there,

Rico
