Hello, and thank you for viewing this video. This is the studio version of 'The Last Wave' , from the Dark Christ "Sunset's Blood" CD. I have made it to acccompany the "Dark Christ - The Complete Lyrics" book, now in its closing stages (as indeed am I!). I am 5 lyrics short - "still" - so the title might be inaccurate, I will try. The book has to go to press tomorrow [15.06.23] no matter what. Trouble is, for me, tomorrow is always 10 years away, in the past. Due to not being able to upload the audio direct from the CD (don't ask - just count my wrinkles...), I have had to make this 'off air', by playing the CD through the speakers, into the camera. Which was pointed at the TV to provide some form of visual companionship. Hey, I have F-MND, whatcha think you're gonna get, Avatar? (I wouldn't have one, I hear they are bad for you). I also cut a 'live' version - video 1770 - which has details about the book, and a subliminal message about tuning one's guitars BEFORE one starts playing, rather than during...

Not for the faint-hearted; this song deals with domestic abuse, physical and emotional, so please don't view if you do not wish to be occupied by such a tale. This begins with a false start, the full song begins at 02:30 in. I wish it was better played, and sung. The song deserves that, but physically, it is beyond me these days. The first demo is on my Patreon, and has a long discourse on that matter, and the song's creation, should you care to view it [patreon.com/user?u=86744526]. The abridged version is that, this just came to me around 430 this morning (11 March 2023), and came out of me exactly as you see it here. It took an hour out of my life to write it, and much, much more out of my emotional armoury to write it. I've never turned my back on a song in 40+ years, but this came close to being left unfinished. Not my right to make that choice though - it's a song that needs to be out there, so that people other than me can take it into the light. I don't mention it on the end of this take - oh, was I desperate to see the finishing line come on the horizon, what is left of my fingers JUST held on long enough to keep pressing the strings in - but the song is left open: the closing lines are: 'She unscrews the caps, and weighs up her chances What would you do now, were you given her circumstances?' - emphasis on the final 'you'. So the song, the story, ends as you want/feel/see it to end. Feel free to send anyone this as a link, you can download it and omit these notes. Or send it whole, you don't need to be direct - "Can you believe how bad this guy sings!" would be my recommended intro!

Hello, thank you for your interest in this video. This is the full version of 'While A Bridge Is Burning', and the second of 2 takes recorded today. This is the first time I have played the complete song in 24 years (the session - stricly speaking, this video is the first time I have played the song in 5 minutes), and this is the 'standard; speed, the way I played it live. The preceding take, video 1921, is a unique slow version. I wrote 'While A Bridge Is Burning' way down the beaten track of my life, in 1986, coming off the back of homelessness, the first Mrs T government ("I pity the fool who votes for me"), and a divorce (of sorts). All that is in here, chronicled in an allegorical way (the "hunters... return to other lands" lines, for instance, refer to the Police behaviour during the miner's strike). As well as a lot more. This is same take as video 1922, but from camera 2 - this camera is set up to record the room sound, as a 'field recording' (I guess I should say why, after all these hundreds of videos - the answer is, simply, because that's how it sounded to me in my ears when I started out, busking). Video 1922, filmed on camera 1, has balanced sound, how I sounded in a live venue - ish.
