The Desert Song, a song lyric by Alan Ewing

The Desert Song

a song lyric by Alan Ewing

Searching around while never knowing what's found

Bring home the bread tonight

Try as you might you never quite get it right

It never really makes sense

Chorus

Out in the desert/out in the wilderness

Search for an answer/look for a state of bliss

Voices that call out from the past

Voices that have no sign

Straws in the wind are not very clear

If you have ears then you will hear

Repeat Chorus

FreeFall, a song lyric by Alan Ewing

FreeFall

a song lyric by Alan Ewing

Disseminate - work out aggregate

Emulate - to achieve a higher state

Assimilate - at a super rate

Utilise - in a new guise

Freefall - going into - freefall

After hitting a brick wall

Heading into freefall

No assumption - no presumption

Just psychologise - and socialise

Fraternise - externalise

With creativity - there's positivity

Freefall - going into - freefall

After hitting a brick wall

Heading into freefall

Freefall - going into freefall

LOVE MAN 2017

Above: my only excursion on to film works thus far with speaking role.

During the 1980s I did a lot of acting parts, mainly down at The Little Theatre, Birkenhead. After 2000 I revived this a bit with extras work.

Extra in Sherlock Holmes movie

Drama has always been a staple in my life. Later, I would go on to work with Creative Encounters in Liverpool to work on projects.

The SOS Tapes 1981: music by Alan Ewing & Friends

THE SOS TAPES 1981

music by Alan Ewing & Friends

The Masonic, Liverpool

Logging this blog as a nod to 1981-82. Together with friends Simon Blackwell and Paul Wright, The SOS Tapes were recorded. So-called because they were recorded at Square-One Studios in Liverpool. Three of the tracks have survived the annals of time. They are able to be heard using the click to play button under their titles. In 1982 the three of us were joined by Nigel Blackwell for a gig at The Masonic in Liverpool. The guys would go on to form Half Man Half Biscuit. I made an appearance on Channel 4 at towards the end of 1982.

Erotic Dancer LP

Click lick above to stream LP

In the current sabbatical from social media by Barri Jill Zahn or 'BeeJay' as I affectionately call my American NYC musical twin and cohort (Bonnie & Clyde), The Erotic Dancer LP has been updated to include 'Six Of One': a track we were working on before her leave of absence. The track has been assembled from the cutting room floor, as it were, in order to extend this digital LP to nine tracks. This work, over the years with 'Beejay' has been a joy and a pleasure, and I look forward to welcoming her back soon.
