Paul Murphy - 'Bitter Realities' with Dyl anecdote
Back to 1996. Well, the song hasn't aged, which is sad. My vocal chords have, which is also sad, to me at least.

PAUL
paul-murphy-plays-electric-version-of-3
A somewhat ragged and gloriously unkempt version of my beautiful daughter's wonderful, allegorical poem, 'Where Does The Sun Go To At Night?' Her favourite album is John Lennon's "Rock N' Roll", so I figure the amazing one will not mind.
Emily's original handwritten poem, incidentally, was written as her homework, part of a class project on space. Ever innovative - at 9! - Emily decided to eschew convention, and presented her piece not as an essay, but as a poem. Take that, state curriculum.
Light and peace,
Me

PAUL
paul-murphy-'from-afar'-.-take-4
This was something of a departure when it came along today. Due to circumstances, it's been a long time since I wrote a pure, unadorned love song, apart from the ones for my children. Three days ago, I wrote the 1400-word 'When The Angels Take Revenge' - it was nice to breathe in some sunlight with this one. This is the final Take of a 4-Take session. I'd hoped to come back to it, and, I'm still hoping that.
Light and peace,
Me

From Afar
Ethereal beauty
'Neath a star-kissed sky
I gazed from a distance
As you passed by
What words of man
Could paint your face
What metaphor
Would'st describe your grace
You paused and smiled
And time did cease
Turmoiled souls
Were blessed with peace
Cascades of light
Flew from your eyes
And lit a path
To Paradise
Upon your ocean lips
Lies the rainbow's gold
Beyond their gates
Prized secrets, ne'er told
Would your gossamer voice
But speak my name
This enraptured heart
Is yours to claim
The nightingale odes you
'pon the whispering wind
Nature acclaims you
The rose calls you its twin
Dawn pays you homage
Spring blooms where you stand
Those who seek Heaven
Need but feel your hand

paul-murphy-'rapid-fire'
This dates from 1994, and I played it live a couple of times, but it went into the vault around '97 I guess. It was good to rediscover it, if only I could rediscover my 33-year-old vocal chords that would be a bonus.

Hello, thank you for viewing, I hope you find this relaxing. This video consits of a 10-minute ambient rain introduction, then the 'Lady Helen' ballad, and then a 5-minute rain-soothe to end.
Light and peace,
Paul .
. NB, this is Take 10 of 'Lady Helen' (with strings, violin, acoustic guitar and piano); further 'rain videos' are available with different versions of the song in them (videos 956 and 958).

Whilst here, if you will permit me.....
I have a series of books available from Amazon (the 'Lady Helen' lyric is in "Love."). I have been honoured to list the recitals and performances on my channel for free, and please share them with my blessing, but if you do decide to go to Amazon and purchase any of my comedy, or lyric/poetry, or my children's titles, thank you with my extreme and most sincere gratitude, because all royalties go into trust for my beautiful young children, Dylan and Emily Jade.
Love and respect,

paul-murphy-'three-roads-to-deception'-2
Lyric written in 1996, lost almost immediately, rediscovered in 2024, and music added to turn it into a song. What's 28 years. The words hold up still, I guess there's a universatility in them.

888-.-paul-murphy-handprints-featuring-a
I'm sure it explains itself, but anyway... yesterday, as I type, I found the laminated art that is the frontspiece of this video, made by my ultra-amazing son Dylan, at a home nursery playdate, of his handprints. As ever, reading the words, a tune composed itself around them in my head, and I thought maybe I would add a chorus to the poem and record it, but, it was too emotional at the time.
Early this morning, my son calls me:
"Daddy ... cough ... I am ... cough ... not at ... cough ... school ... cough ... I ... cough ... have a ..."
"Cough?"
"No, a sprained wrist, whaddaya think!"
Er, OK, I made that last bit up. So, we chat for a while, and - yes, you're ahead of me - I tell him that I had found this artwork, and - lightbulb! - I remembered I need to buy a lightbulb.
Nah, I loaf myself off of bed, grab some clothes, and the rest you will already have viewed I guess, since the video lasts shorter than reading this will have done.
It's very ropey, I know, and I could have done a second take, but, the spontaneity would have been lost.
Now, as the poem is unsigned, there is nothing to indicate that my then-18-month-old-son DIDN'T write it, so, I am crediting him as co-writer. (In a shameless plug, the super-hilarious super-hero spoof book, "The Amazing Smeller-Man", is also ... cough ... 'co'-written by Dylan and myself, if you visit Amazon, they should give you a free 10-page sample of it).
Light and peace,
Paul M [and Dy...cough...lan]

PS - It's such a good-vibe day, here's some of the promo piece of Dylan's book for you (he gets the royalties, not me, I might add), from the big Am page (oh, and this should all be in italics, as it is a quote, but one cannot do that on YT pages, so, to get the effect, lean at a 40-degree angle to read the following*):
'The Amazing Smeller-Man!
Peter Putrid, a shy teenager, was attending a science exhibition, when he was the victim of a terrible accident, when Professor Charles Onyonsoop let one go at the same moment that a malfunction occurred in an isotope behind him, which caused young Peter to be caught in the blast of a radioactive fart.
The accident gave Peter far - er fANntastic powers, that enable him to fight crime as the Amazing Smeller-Man!
Facing the enemies of justice, whenever Peter goes into action, he can emit a super-powered whiffy that renders his foes unconscious in an instant.
Read his enthralling exploits, as he battles The Grungy Goblin, Electrode The Xmas Tree Man, The Pigeon, and his arch-nemesis, Doctor Blockednose!
Thrill at how he brings the vagabonds of villainy to their knees with his powerful trouser texts!
Open the windows, just in case he comes to visit!'

* unless you are on the edge of a cliff. Hmmm... maybe I should have wrote that a bit higher up the page...

1426-.-paul-murphy-'prairie-winds'
Closing out the early morning session with a run-through of (some of) 'Prairie Winds'. These are the newest verses, and this is, in effect, 'chapter' 27 of PW - the full song now runs over 6 hours, if you piece all the videos together.
Originally this section of the song followed the structure of the whole piece - in and out, from one couple's relationship to historical injustices, back in to the couple, out to current-day injustices, etc. Sadly, the particular injustice chronicled in this particular section, had a re-occurrence on the (UK) news that morning - it really is a sick world - and if I'd tried to do the excised verses, I wouldn't have got through it.
Light and peace,
Paul M

On a tertiary note, whilst here, if I may be so bold - I have several lyric and prose anthology's available on Amazon, their titles below. I mention it not for me (notes on other songs will explain why), but for my most amazing children, who get any and all royalties when they reach 16.
Thank you and bless you if you do choose to get one/some. If you don't want to buy one, Amazon will give you a free 10-page sample if you just want to just browse and go - I'm cool with that too.
If you have listened and read this far, you have been extraordinarily kind with your precious time, and my sincere thanks for that. Paul M x
