So about a couple of years ago, I started singing. Somehow.
And now we form a 2 piece band doing our thing for the heck of it.
Behold us, the Knowing Believers.
There is a typical me stupid story behind the name. Daft is an adjective I self- identify with and I'm proud.
Also, starting a musical career at 48 (now 50) is a good way to avoid dying at 27. I'll let you know how that goes!
Another reaction to the world of Trump and Epstein, as seen thru the eyes of a man who tries to care, but also thru Man and how he treats Woman.
a song about childhood suffering, from abuse by another child
Based on a True Story (tm).
Suffering and being a victim is a very common and misunderstood condition. It happens to most of us at some point in our life to be victim to somebody else to their malicious intent or desires.
It’s very strange how this song came about.
A memory came to the forefront from an idea and a moment of my life, and the lyrics wrote themselves literally in a matter of hours.
I feel proud of this song: the actual words, chosen in order to keep and stay in rhythm, are also precise in their relevance of the overall experience.
I wrote this song from two points of view : As a father to two daughters, I am extremely concerned about the state of the world and how these two future women will grow and adapt in such a cruel and unforgiving place that is today’s world for women. it’s not even possible to really imagine what women go through when you are a man.
the other point of view is one of trying to get my head around people like Donald Trump and Epstein and the whole consortium of twisted broken people. unfortunately these are the ones with the hands on the buttons and levers that shape our society today.
If I sound pissed off while singing, it’s because this really pisses me off seriously.
Actually, it was my friend Mika that started me singing.
He’s a musical doer he’s been in bands. He’s written songs. He’s been in music of the Rocky guitar variety since he was near high to a grasshopper basically. Mika play base and guitar and has taught himself how to use his computer and a home studio to create a home studio.
we started with his acoustic guitar and a battery powered mic recorder of some kind.
not counting his instruments some that he’s made we now have a fistful of different microphones and hardware sound cards and a full size electronic organ that runs on the computer and the stuff.
fuck it I don’t really know all the details,.
I know I did a couple of awful cover versions of songs that we gave up very quickly and I realize that OK I could sing in the shower or when hammering on the steering wheel, but actually singing is a different thing altogether.
afterwards we find tuned our repertoire and found some songs that were closer to my capabilities,. some have been recorded, and I will upload them at some point, but they are pretty raw and rough to start to discover how to sing apparently.
Then this springtime Mika came to me and said dude we’ve got to start writing stuff because I’ve written some music but we need your lyrics so you’ve got to do something about it.
and sort of to this day. I’m still surprised at myself, but so far I have written the texts for three songs and have bits of stuff that I’ve written down that just came whenever whatever and it was random and it made no sense and but it was a trigger for something different.
so for me what counts is we’re having fun the two of us, finding yourself outside of your comfort zone and finding how to get some comfort from that.

Steven was a kid at secondary school with who I had a fight for no reason except that the others had told him that I called him a retard and the bastard and a shit, because he was a foster kid and he was in the remedial section I think was the word....
