  • Alchemeon: Celestine
    Celestine by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    * Celestine is a song of several parts.
    * Sometimes it seems to be in the key of B minor, other times G major.
    * In the end it resolves to D major.
    * Celestine is an Alchemeon exclusive, having not been performed by the Spacegoats, nor any of the Masters of Drone bands such as Now or Laughing Sun.
    CELESTINE
    Celestine they make their way
    Brothers to the water
    To cleanse the crystal in the head
    Still in silent laughter
    The drop into the forehead
    Silver people roam
    To lace the time
    With story rhyme
    And drink the river’s daughter
    Drink the river’s daughter
    Oh! La la la la…
    Pyramids inside the mind
    They walk the crystalline
    To trade their scarlet thoughts for talk
    All wisdoms from the grail
    Tower stands against the sky
    The people are not there
    Stone’s old voice speaks of an age
    The brothers hear and reel amazed
    The brothers hear and reel amazed
    Oh! La la la la...
    Wind through stone
    Your eyes and your ears
    Our time has come
    Wonder begun
    Wind through stone
    Your eyes and your ears
    The time has come
    Wonder begun
    Wonder, wonder
    Now to be
    Now to be
    Now to be
    Now to be
    Now to be
    La la la la la…

  • Alchemeon: The Winged Man
    The Winged Man by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    * The Winged Man is in the key of A major.
    * This is the version with the new ending.
    * The Winged Man is an Alchemeon exclusive.
    * It was never performed by any of the Masters of Drone bands such as Laughing Sun or Now, nor by the Spacegoats.
    THE WINGED MAN
    Heaven knows why but he saved us from the furnace
    We mistreated his kind and stained his need to see
    Heaven knows why
    Our people will fly
    Memory will die
    This winged man he cried
    Melting above he drew his energy from below
    And seeing the sun he knew he had to go
    Heaven knows why
    Our people will fly
    Memory will die
    This winged man he cried
    Can you hear the voices?
    Hear the voices around you
    And the echo of the voices
    Hear them too
    Play on
    Play on
    Seething below the man was a wreck of invention
    And we brought him down just like a crash landing
    Heaven knows why
    Our people will fly
    Memory will die
    This winged man he cried
    He was too far ahead for us here and so he flew
    Back to the sun where he’s working on something new
    Heaven knows why
    Our people will fly
    Memory will die
    This winged man he cried
    Words and music by Simon Miller.

  • Alchemeon: Orb
    Orb by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    * There are some songs that give the listener goosebumps as soon as they hear and recognise the first couple of notes and realise they are about to hear something truly extraordinary.
    * Orb is one of those special songs.
    * There are several distinct sections to the song with classic riffs and earworm la-la-la vocals.
    * It was performed by the Spacegoats before Alchemeon started playing it.
    * Orb would have been the first of two encore songs in a live performance.
    ORB
    When the walls of the temple
    Are cast to the ground
    And light shines through the ruins
    When the form decays
    To leave no trace
    That is the time of re-doing
    And the sun is shining
    Casting rays throughout the universe
    And everything goes on as before
    The slip of light has pierced
    The very heart and soul of you
    Take a look now, open up your door
    At first you may find it a little curious
    Just let go to the feeling
    Describe a circle your arms outstretched
    Learn to feel this healing
    Singing...
    Li la li li li li la li
    Li li li li la la li la la li li la la
    Send the sun’s rays into the earth
    And round and round and round revolving
    The moon will shine her light upon you
    As round the stones we are returning
    Return...
    Li la li li li li la li
    Li li li li la la li la la li li la la
    Become a tribe of many lives
    Around and round and round and round evolving
    The moon will shine her light upon we
    As round the stones we are returning
    Return...
    Li la li li li li la li
    Li li li li la la li la la li li la la
    Send the seeds into the earth
    You know you know you know it’s worth
    Send the seeds into the ground
    It’s a holy holy holy sound
    La la li la la la li li
    Hey hey!
    Don’t you don’t you don’t you know
    We gotta sow sow sow sow
    And don’t’ya don’t ya don’t ya know
    We’re gonna grow grow grow grow
    Grow grow grow grow grow grow grow grow!
    La la li la la la li li
    Hey hey!
    And the sun is shining
    Casting rays throughout the universe
    And everything goes on like never before
    The slip of light has pierced
    The very heart and soul of you
    Take a look now
    Open up your door

  • Alchemeon: It's a Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain
    It's a Blue Sky Don't Hold No Rain by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    Jim takes the lead vocal at the start of this song. A little later on, there is a moment of comedy.
    At about 5.20, when the vocals come back in again, Jim's lyric sheet makes a sudden leap for freedom. He manages to grab it in mid-air before it escapes. You can hear the "glorch!" of the keys as some part of his anatomy comes into contact with them when he goes for the grab, the little giggle when he catches the sheet, and the mumbulated lyrics as he tries to unfold the paper with one hand while playing the keys with the other.
    * It’s a Blue Sky Don’t Hold No Rain was one of the very first songs that Pok ever wrote.
    * There are probably not many 17-year-olds who would write such a thoughtful lyric as this.
    * Pok once described the song as being about “the loss by genocide of the native Americans and general early eco lament directive for that generation.”
    * He also said that the original idea for it came from listening to Neil Young.
    * The very first time we heard this was when it was played by Pok on a 12-string acoustic with only six strings, as he sat on a bench along a footpath in the dark in Honiton late one evening.
    * Its first proper live performance was at the Sidmouth International Folk Festival in the summer of 1983.
    * It’s a Blue Sky Don’t Hold No Rain has been performed by Laughing Sun and the Spacegoats previously to Alchemeon performing it and you can hear their versions at Bandcamp, SoundCloud and the Wud Records website.
    * It’s a Blue Sky Don’t Hold No Rain is in the key of E minor and begins and ends with a big glorious Em7 chord.
    * The chords in the verses are Em7 – Am7 – C/G – B11#9.
    * There is a rather wonderful key change in the “What have we done” section, which is C7 – D7 – Gm7 – D7 – Am – C/G – Em7.
    IT’S A BLUE SKY DON’T HOLD NO RAIN
    I'll try and try and try and try to get to you
    I'll try and try and try and try forever
    I'll try and try and try and try to get to you
    I'll try and try and try and try forever
    Forever
    We came across some bones of men
    Scattered in the rust
    So many good souls turned to dust
    Within their shattered husks
    And these people had worn jewels
    And their heads had been held high
    Speckled foreheads touched the sky
    Behold the sparkling in their eye
    Don’t you know it’s a blue sky
    Don’t hold no rain
    Don’t hold your love in vain
    ‘Cos we’ve still got some loving to do
    Some time ago the white man came
    Bringing bible books and swords
    Bound them up in twining cords
    In the name of their great lord
    They slew down the Aztec, Inca, Ibu, Masai
    Now we hide in concrete lies
    So to my Mammon side I cry:
    "What have we done
    To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
    Why can’t we nestle in her
    Warm aching bosom?"
    Aaaah...
    Now the world’s a spinning ball
    Two thirds with none to eat
    So while we chew our scrawny meat
    Can you hear those big bells beat?
    What have we done
    To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
    Why can’t we nestle in her
    Warm aching bosom?
    Words and music by Simon Miller.

  • Alchemeon: Castrol GTX a-Go-Go
    Castrol GTX a Go-Go by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    This song was composed by Pok in 1992 at George's flat, opposite the Heavitree swimming baths and just a couple of doors downhill from The Emporium, a fabulous old traditional second-hand hi-fi and vinyl shop in Exeter run by John John, who still to this day DJs a fabulous weekly progressive rock radio show on Phonic FM.
    Among those present were the famous and acclaimed photographer Marcus Podilchuk. Pok said he would write a song for Marcus and sat on the floor with pen and paper. After some time, when he had finished, he sang this for us. We loved it!
    "Is that really for me?" asked Marcus, slightly surprised.
    "Actually, no," replied Pok.
    * Castrol GTX a Go-Go starts on an A major ands ends on a D minor.
    * Simplified, the chord sequence for the verses is A – G# – Dm – Bb – A – Dm.
    * Describing to Iggy how the beginning should be played, Jim said “Play some jokes! Play some musical jokes!”
    * Children seem to love the whackiness of this wonderful song.
    * Castrol GTX a Go-Go was first performed by the Spacegoats before Alchemeon started playing it.
    CASTROL GTX A GO-GO
    We’re gonna juice you to the bone
    Feed the ogre faintly bold
    He’s grinding chrome
    West is my kind of tree
    Feel till you’re opaque in the door
    Scooping up the gnomes from the floor
    Blessed be the world
    For there is a dragon deeply curled
    Well I’ll sing a sweep of dreams
    Crown the day with night
    I’m a matt-bam-bootle
    Ride away on my scooter
    I peel oranges now
    Castrol GTX a go-go
    I’m gonna motor your mojo
    Brideshead’s eagle and a seagull
    Home again, ogre-man
    Words and music by Simon Miller.

  • Alchemeon: The Freaks (Shall Inherit the Earth)
    The Freaks (Shall Inherit The Earth) by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    The Freaks (Shall Inherit the Earth) is a glorious rock n roll anthem and call to action in the key of G major. It was performed by the Spacegoats before Alchemeon started playing it. The Freaks (Shall Inherit the Earth) would have been the final song in an Alchemeon set, with Orb and Finale as encores.
    During this rendition one of Jim's keyboards started to misbehave. It was either too quiet or too loud and harsh despite his numerous and ongoing fiddlings and twiddlings. At 3:29 he becomes a bit frustrated and gives it a good bash.
    THE FREAKS (SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH)
    How many jacks are kept in their boxes?
    How many dreams are trodden underfoot?
    Could it be in you or it could be in me
    The fate of all nations or a colour TV
    Look down any road see a million faces
    Scream back their pain from a sheer concrete wall
    There’s a million products made just to fill that hole
    But you never never, can never fill it at all
    It’s a cry from the depths of a pin-stripe suit
    And whose voice dares not to conform
    Why is it just those who can see through the see through?
    They’re the misfits who break out from the norm
    The Freaks! The Freaks!
    The Freaks shall inherit the Earth
    The Freaks! The Geeks!
    Who speak shall inherit the Earth
    Should we obey what the government say?
    Is it wrong not to tag along?
    The question is no question at all
    But what we do with our backs to the wall
    What is a freak? I think we’ll see
    When what is established gets washed away
    Those who cling to it will not survive if
    Destiny’s child awakes a new day
    Just look around you see those bulldozers working
    Ripping up the land for fool’s gold again
    It’s getting worse, can’t go on forever
    And who’s gonna be here when these dinosaurs fall?
    Ok. What’s it going to be if it is as we’ve hear?
    Who’s gonna emerge with these worlds have submerged?
    When the profit is made from the damage is done
    You wanna cling to the wreckage or go with the change?
    CHANGE!!!!!
    Now there’s some pretty megaton forces
    Stirring up hate and making a war
    Who can get poison and spit out the bullet?
    Who are these freaks, do you think that one’s you?
    The Freaks! The Freaks!
    The Freaks shall inherit the Earth
    The Freaks! The Geeks!
    Who speak shall inherit the Earth
    The Freaks! The Freaks!
    The Freaks shall inherit the Earth
    The Freaks! The Geeks!
    Who speak shall inherit the ….. Earth!!!!

  • Alchemeon: Crazy Mandy
    Crazy Mandy by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    * Crazy Mandy is in the key of D minor.
    * It was originally performed by Laughing Sun in 1985.
    * When this was recorded it was still a new song for Alchemeon.
    * Pok had the idea for this song after meeting one of George's girlfriends, whose name was not actually Mandy.
    * A new development in the Alchemeon version was that Jim and Iggy made the Boosa Nova section towards the end of the song much more Bossa Nova-ish.
    CRAZY MANDY
    If you have flown too far from the nest
    If they got you under sedation
    Come rest in here, come meet your fears
    Come greet some human relation
    And we shall wait and say the words
    That cool you like a breeze
    Becoming part of the clothes that you wear
    Becoming whole, it’s easy
    It’s all in the plan, crazy Mandy
    It’s all as it should be
    It’s all in the winds of time my love
    And it weighs out like sand
    Add two and two, it’s all you need do
    You already have done that
    No sign on the line, everything’s fine
    Everyone’s here from the start
    And to take a bet and jape and jest
    Is all you might have done
    This matters not because what you have got
    Is really much more than that
    It’s all in the plan, crazy Mandy
    It’s all as it should be
    It’s all in the winds of time my love
    And it weighs out like sand
    Silently she has to wait in the long halls of stone
    Red drops the blood from her fingers to the floor
    Will she know?
    Will her children grow?
    Will she hear?
    Is she near?
    Watch her go
    Mindfire glow
    She is seeking
    Mandy a bird of some sort she soared
    High above civilization
    And looking down she gulped and frowned
    Saying this is not my inclination
    To bank and shop the streets and follow
    All these rules I see
    Something else must I do
    Or am I really being me?
    It’s all in the plan, crazy Mandy
    It’s all as it should be
    It’s all in the winds of time my love
    And it weighs out like sand
    Words and music by Simon Miller.

  • Alchemeon: The Centre of the Cyclone
    The Centre of the Cyclone by Alchemeon, from Alchemeon Live In Session Spring 2009.
    * The Centre of the Cyclone is more-or-less in the key of A major.
    * The rhythm and noises at the start and then in the instrumental section are in the key of E.
    * There is a classic chord progression in the first verses, which is A - Em - G - Bm - D.
    * This mutates into C - G - D - Am - Em - G.
    * The final chord of the whole song is an Asus4, which leaves a giant tantalising question mark dangling in the air.
    * The Centre of the Cyclone has several sections, each with a different tempo and texture.
    * It was first performed live in 1985 by Laughing Sun in the drama studio at Exeter College during a free lunchtime concert given for the students.
    * Jim used his amazing understanding of arrangement to take this wonderful song and make it longer and more elegant with the addition of a guitar solo before the vocals start.
    * It seems more and more extraordinary that Pok wrote the lyrics for this when he was only 19.
    THE CENTRE OF THE CYCLONE
    In forlorn castles too brief for living
    We rose to catch the sun but were defeated
    Just around the corner beyond the eyes
    Beyond the skies we set ourselves as real
    Like spaceships casting cosmic lines
    Left behind with stars strewn from our astral selves
    And planets in our eyes
    You walk along the road of life
    Too high to see the mountain you are climbing
    Casting seeds and scrolls from our outstretched hands
    The forgiven forget of the gift
    And it’s too late, the ladder stretches up and down
    And where do you stand in perspective to it all?
    Can you imagine a place
    A space where you have not been before
    But which is not new to you?
    A place you can recall softly
    Push through bad dreams
    Make it real, remember
    Complications contradict but reality sticks
    And unbounded has its realms
    In everything you see
    Yes, what do you see?
    Push through the dark vales to the sea
    Cast your cosmic line wherever it may fall
    Maybe you will find some higher guidance there
    Or maybe you will find a place where you may truly rest
    Maybe you will find some friends who love you the best
    Listen
    Listen
    Listen
    The tides of swirling memories
    Are nearly gone but forgotten
    Would you choose to beg or lose
    The axis which you hold onto
    Thirteen is the number, twelve it is the rite
    Thirteen red eyed ravens
    Outside the house til night
    Outward, outward on out
    Cast light, cast light about
    Outward, outward on out
    Look out, which way is far out?
    Petty wages are falling like leaves
    Calling the master to apprenticeship again
    Will he recall the time, the chimes of freedom
    Blowing through his keyhole
    Step down from your pedestal and mingle once again
    With the crowds that you shunned as a youth
    At the centre of the cyclone
    Where all our thoughts are real
    You’re cacooned in your mental egg
    Imprisoned inside your head
    When you look out the bars you’ve made
    Can you maybe follow a little way
    To see there are no more shackles to pass
    Yet more fresh air, green fields and grass
    And we are like the butterfly
    Cannot take off, our wings aren’t dry
    But soon if we shall heed the guides
    The caterpillar metamorphosise

  • The Bastard Sons of Dennis: The Furniture (part 1: overture)
    The Furniture (part 1: overture) by The Bastard Sons of Dennis, from their album Cherry Smoke Empire.
    The Furniture (Los Muebles) is a traditional northern Spanish sea shanty from the Asturias region.
    It tells a tale of how a dysfunctional family of linguistically challenged fishermen lost and then found some furniture following a flood, and the consequences.
    Linguistically challenged means, in this case, they were not terribly bright and could not even speak their own language very well.
    The Spanish version has been loosely translated into English by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
    From an idea by Daniel Richardson.
    This song and its anomalies of translation make a great teaching aid, if one happens to have students learning English or Spanish.
    THE FURNITURE (PART 1: OVERTURE)
    Donde esta mis muebles de los hermanos?
    Donde esta mis muebles de los hermanos?
    Se pierden, se pierden
    Where is the furniture of my brother?
    Where is the furniture of my brother?
    It is lost, it is lost.
    Donde la guaderropa, la tabla?
    Donde la silla, es banera?
    Donde la gabineta, la oficina
    Se pierden, se pierden
    Los incontrareos
    Where is the wardrobe, the table?
    Where is the chair, the bathtub?
    Where are the cabinet and the bureau?
    They are lost, they are lost.
    We will find them!
    Creo que esta perdido por siempre
    No! Los incontrareos
    But I believe they are lost forever!
    No! We will find them!
    Donde esta mis guaderropa de los hermanos?
    Donde esta mis guaderropa de los hermanos?
    Where is the wardrobe of my brother?
    Where is the wardrobe of my brother?

    THE FURNITURE (PART 7: THE BUREAU)
    Aha! La oficina.
    La oficina ha sido picotiada por muchos pollos
    Y la puertas se han caido.

    Y la puertas se han caido.
    Ah, the bureau.
    The bureau has been pecked by a great many chickens
    And the doors have fallen off.
    The bureau has been pecked by a great many chickens
    And the doors have fallen off.
    Eran una cortina agredable del marron.
    Pense que eran horrible!
    Usted tio el es porke usted neude espantoso.
    That’s a shame, they were an agreeable shade of brown.
    I thought they were horrible!
    You would and that's because you smell appalling, uncle.
