Music and lyrics by Andrew Charman-Williams and Spiral Net

  • Nothing At All – lyrics

    nowhere to go
    noone to see
    nothing to do
    nothing at all

    so i can just relax
    and do nothing much at all

    no expectations
    no obligations
    no confrontations
    nothing at all

    so i can just relax
    and do nothing much at all

  • Skid Road – lyrics

    Maynardtown
    Down on the Sawdust
    Yesler’s Mill in the Sag
    Tenderloin

    Skid Road
    where dreams go to die

    Lava Beds
    White Chapel
    Great Restricted District
    Wappyville

    Skid Road
    where dreams go to die

    Mill Street
    Yesler Way
    The Deadline
    Pioneer Square

    Skid Road
    where dreams go to die
    Skid Road
    where dreams go to die

  • I Thought of You – lyrics

    I still hear your laughter, soft as the breeze  
    It whispers through the trees, brings me to my knees  
    The way we used to dance, under starlit skies  
    Now the echoes of your voice are where my heart lies  
     
    I thought of you yesterday  
    I thought of you today  
    I’ll think of you tomorrow  
    The memories never fade  

    I see your shadow in the morning light  
    It lingers in the silence of the quiet night  
    Though time moves forward, leaving us behind  
    In every passing moment, you’re still on my mind  

    I thought of you yesterday  
    I thought of you today  
    I’ll think of you tomorrow  
    The memories never fade  

    And I hold on to every piece of you  
    The moments we shared, the things we knew  
    They live on forever, deep in my soul  
    Your memory’s a fire, it keeps me whole  

    I thought of you yesterday  
    I thought of you today  
    I’ll think of you tomorrow  
    The memories never fade  

  • Yes or No – Yes and No – lyrics

    They wanted Yes or No 
    as the only answers 
    but what if it’s Yes and No 
    or neither with no firm answer. 

    So many things aren’t simply black or white, 
    wrong or right. 
    Left or right
    day or night

    Yes or No
    Yes and No
    Yes or No
    Yes and No

    Where are the shades of grey and the central ground
    Why expect a simple answer to a complex question
    Why is the complex answer never found
    What if it’s both, what if it’s none

    Yes or No
    Yes and No
    Yes or No
    Yes and No
    or neither

  • Banjo Noodling 241024

    Banjo Noodling 241024 is a fingerstyle tenor banjo improvisation over a four chord loop. Both tenor banjo tracks were a single take so there’s things I’d probably change or fix if I planned it out fully.

  • Incessant Call

    Incessant Call is an instrumental piece with two fingerstyle tenor guitar parts. Cockatoos insisted on providing some accompaniment from their scratching on the roof and screeching. The piece was inspired by the constant monotonous calls of the Tawny Frogmouth and Bronzewing.
