EVERY TIME I FLY UP THROUGH THE HEAVENS

AND I SEE YOU THERE BELOW

I GET THE FEELING SOMETIME,

IN ANOTHER WORLD I LIVED IN EL PASO

El Paso City - Marty Robbins (1976)

Blowing Leaves  - Charlie Dore "I recorded a leaf blower in next door's garden and found it was in a comfortable key for me (B flat), so just for the fun of it I recorded the drone on my phone and sang a melody over the top. When it started up the birds disappeared, but after a very short while they returned and just carried on singing above the drone. Looking at the leaves and the birds I felt there was a kind of parallel with the regeneration aspect of both birds and leaves.
