Song List
Ride the Dragon at Amsterdam (2016 live)
Hard chords and quick lead for the sheer exhilaration of dragon riding
There Will Come a Time (2008)
A hopeful but rockish tune for someday it will come
Celebration of Circe Broom (2013 live)
The wake for Circe was celebratory and deeply mournful at once and many turned out to play for her. The song isn't funereal but it went long since it was something of a release after Circe had been so large in my life.
The Girl Who Would Be Lavender (2012)
A softer song about Boadicea, Warrior Queen of the Iceni, who fought the Romans to chase them out of England and won for a time but eventually they killed her
The Tiger and the Monkey (2013)
A soft song about a friendship between a tiger and a monkey and it's improbable but it happened
Waiting on a Train (2009)
Some Silas electric blues about waiting for someone to come back on the train but it will probably never happen and Silas uses a vocal processor for the spoken intro which you may find unusual
Silas Techno Hypno Groove Christmas Song (2016 live)
Sure to be unlike any Christmas song you ever heard before with heavy synth backing it and general madness in play
End of the World in Fort Worth (2016 live)
The opus about the Sanctuary and it's safe here. The video on YouTube is the most elaborate I ever did and this is the soundtrack to it.
The Cat Ate Me Bacon (2015)
It's dance beat electronica about a man who called the police because he said his girlfriend let the cat eat his bacon and he wanted to press charges against both of them
Notes:
1 - 'Live' means the song was recorded during a performance online in Second Life
2 - All songs are original and it's Silas on all instruments
3 - the CD is not mastered which means volume levels may change from one track to the next but it's not extreme
4 - the picture is of Telia Soyer from 2008 when she was the Warrior Queen of the Dragon Riders and there's a video of that battle on YouTube
The songs are from all over the place but all have special meanings and some I didn't want to let go while others are brand new. It's all very well for me to record songs but they mean a lot more to me after I share them.
Hopefully you enjoy the songs and you buy lots of them so we can all retire to the islands and live on coconuts.
Deep thanks to Yevette for putting up with all the noise from an old crank who should have grown out of this long ago but never did.
Ed: never will?
Nope, no chance.
