2012 Lyrics:

You may be an Ambassador to England or France
You may like to Gamble, You might like to Dance
You may be the Heavyweight Champion of the World
You may be a Socialite with a long string of pearls
Your Gonna have to Serve Somebody

You may claim your Rock and Roll, but I don’t want to be in your Band
You may have Drugs and Women, Ketamine at your command
You may be a City man or have a Harvard Degree
A doctorate ain’t a MSc, go head get your p.h.d
Your Gonna have to Serve Somebody

You may wear the leather, thinking your Jimmy Dean
You may have read all the Beat Poets and cut your hair to be scene
Are you the Observed or the Observee?
I don’t care if you in Vogue or in Gentleman’s Quarterly

Your Gonna have to Serve Somebody
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
Your Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

You may have gotten Married, just because you can
You may have a Kid or two that don’t make you half a gal/man
You may think you’re Spiritually free, with the Maharishi on your side
But didn’t your mother tell you kid
Even the birds are chained to the sky

Your Gonna have to Serve Somebody
It may be the Devil or it may be the Lord
Your Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

You may never argue, agree to disagree
You may say I ain’t like that, I see things differently
You may be rich or poor, You may be blind or lame
You may live in another country, under another name

Your Gonna have to Serve Somebody
It may be the Devil or it may be the Lord
Your Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

Do you want to … want to be free
Well … here it is now… oh the irony
Follow nobody…. do what you must do
But to do that ….you must follow the Truth

A Summer Demo

Locke. — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:18:27 +0000

I made this little demo over the summer, its quite different to the acoustic style of music I have previously created. I think it important to dig a little deeper and venture out into all types of music; there is something to be learned from every genre. This is tentatively titled no half clapping blues.

Drive

Great soundtrack, similar to Trent Reznors recent efforts in The Social Network. Ryan Goslings performance is also worth a mention, a throwback to the hollywood era of Steve McQueen/ Paul Newman. One of my favourite actors of recent years, very much looking forward to his future projects.

Bon Iver

Locke. — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 11:03:37 +0000

“Playing what’s there makes you sound like everyone else. Playing what’s not there makes you a pioneer. Play from your soul, not what’s in front of you. Find what’s missing. Regurgitation is not creativity, and creativity is what makes it an art. As far as life goes, do your own thing. Life is always in front of you. Do you want a life to live, or do you want to live life?”

This is Your Brain on Music

Locke. — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:53:04 +0000

Just finished ‘This is your brain on music’ by McGill neuroscientist Daniel Levitin, great read, highly recommended:

‘…. the power of art is that it can connnect us to one another
and to larger truths about what it means to be alive and what it means to be human.

When Neil Young sings

Old man look at my life, I’m a lot like you were …
Live alone in a paradise that makes me think of two.

… we feel for the man who wrote the song.

I may not live in paradise, but I can empathize with a man who may have some material success but no one to share it with.’
