Electric version of my swipe at abusers of all ilks. Something of a long set-up, you can skip it by clicking 07:50 . Alternately, you can avoid the song by switching off at that point. There's a bit of a coda too, coda-red I think. There is an alternate video of this from camera 2, where the guitar is slightly better balanced, even if I am not.

This is part 8 of 9 of 'In Search Of Hell's Grand Reward'. This song is probably - probably - my longest song, on the basis that it IS a song. Recorded in 9 parts, it is a one-song double-CD (I am recording from the album, onto camera). The full song lasts 2 and a half hours. This completes CD1, and was, I thought, the end of the song. But the words just kept on coming... I had to record it in parts because, in those days of yore, on a Tascam 8-track analogue home studio, a 45-minute metal C90 ran at double speed, and thus, cut out after 23 minutes. Just after this song, digital came in and I was away (my 31-minute rewrite of Bob Dylan's 'Tangled Up In Blue' was the first I did on digital). Anyway revisited - I thought I would put the entire song up. It's not all the same music, with different lyrics in each 'chapter' - it is the same chords, but the parts I have overdubbed different instruments on - so, Part 1 has organ running throughout, and electic arp's, for instance. Part 5 is on piano, with overdubbed acoustic through it. I would love to transcribe the lyrics and put them out as a book, just so it is in it's original story format, but the other night it took me an hour to transcribe the lyrics to the 4-minute 'Getting To Babylon', to include them in the "Bitter Realities" songbook, so - don't hold your breath. The reason I say 'ISoHGR' is 'probably' my longest song is, last year's 'Maybe Tomorrow' has, I think, 10,000 words, but it only exists as the lyric book - I have music for it, in my head, but that work needs to be recorded all in one go, and due to my disablity, I can't do that. And 'Prairie Winds' - which is also a song - is probably getting close to this, time-length-wise; I have been recording it in chunks, and there are 17 now (none of them particularly good technically - since I have no means of holding the lyrics up, it is write, turn camera on, hit E-minor and hope to remember what one has just written). The lyrics that make up the second half of the "Prairie Winds" lyric anthology book clock in at 6,5000 words, but I have written 3 more 'stages' to it since then. US election coming up - try to keep a social commentary songwriter still with that on the horizon! On a trivia note, the CD sleeve notes state that I recorded 'ISoHGR' between 29.12.98-02.01.99 (CD 1, parts 1-5); and between 09-11.01.1999 (CD2, parts 6-9). THAT must have been a wonderfully happy Xmas I was having that year.... !

Also recorded at the demo session of 'Sweet Emily', 19.03.2006. This is the only time this was ever played. Taken from the safety CD made of the 'takes', the 4-track studio tapes show this cuts because it was composed at the session and recorded spontaneously at the end of the demo of 'Sweet Emily' without asking the eng how much tape was left. Turns out - not enough. Approaching 2 decades later, I don't suppose it will do any harm to reveal the title is a musical pun based on a name. 8 years later, my beautiful daughter was born, and she is the sweetest Emily ever.

Hi there. This is a new song, written today [providing you are reading this on 13.08.23]. This is from the final take of the day, take 6. I prefer Take 1, flaws and all - you never forget your first time singing a new song, even if it doesn't last as long as you'd like and you make a mess of things! The session was recorded on 2 cameras, and here, the footage is from the 'room' camera; videos 1308 with an 'a' are from the 'PoV' camera. As well as the alternate angle and distance, the sound mixes are slightly different on each.
