Back again after a fifteen-year break. Allen Finney (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Tomas Holmqvist (bass), Clas Gustavsson (drums), A.P. Meister (guitar) performing “Someday” by Allen Finney.
Been writing and recording some new songs for the next album… Here’s a rough mix of one.
Any Given Day
Show me something I’ve never seen
some stranger kind of dream
tell me all is not what it seems
and people don’t say just what they mean
On any given day
as the dawn slips away
Make me stop right in my tracks
with the cool wind in my back
And I’ll leave no stone unturned
And no song unheard
On any given day
as the dawn slips away
Might be late in a losing game
might be that I played my hand all in vain
But still you’re my sweetest pain
You’re the soil, and you’re the rain
On any given day
as the dawn slips away

Stumbled upon this almost forgotten little instrumental called Sea. Originally recorded as a kind of afterthought to Above & Below, but it was never included on the album.
A couple of photos from the gig at S:ta Clara, August 18th, 2014
And a video…
How The Story Goes
Moon crying silver, sun crying gold
Moon crying silver, sun crying gold
And I think I know how the story goes
Everybody knows how it goes
Hush little bluebird
You sing like a black crow
Hush little bluebird
You sing like a black crow
And I think I know…
Alone and forsaken by gods and by men
Alone and forsaken by gods and by men
And I think I know…
Demons and Buddhas
Snake eyes and the queen of hearts
Demons and Buddhas
Snake eyes and the queen of hearts
And I think I know…
