Always Six Or More by Jemima's Kite

[Oldrottenhead]

Tim started this, orh asked him to cut it back to the bone, then went all lawndawn, flash added bass, orh added random cut n paste threw up in the air mellotron. then this came out the mincer, every word is true, (according to wikipedia)

It is what it is

Conduct unbecoming
For a resident of the tower
Retired off to Wales
For damaging TV ariels
Edgar Sopper he played possum
After noticing the commotion
The passing of James Crow had caused
When the master picked up his corpse
Edgar pecked his finger
Croaked a raven's laugh
Then flapped off
Flight feathers clipped
To stop desertion
Grog left his duties for the pub
After 21 years of faithful service
And poor Mabel was abducted
Very soon after the war
Never ever to be seen again
A mystery that's never ever been solved
And if the ravens leave the tower
The crown will fall
The ravens of the tower
Always six or more
The protectors of the crown
At the Tower of London Town
Flight feathers clipped
To stop desertion
Of their duties to the crown
The ravens of the Tower
Always six or more
The ravens of the tower
Always six or more
The protectors of the crown
At the Tower of London Town

A very interesting track. A laid back groove with a dreamy feel and nice open production. The bass comes through nicely on this one and keeps the groove going really nicely. I love the breakdown at about 3:10, the vox come through really well and I really enjoyed the way the guitar comes back in. The end echoes the breakldown nicely as well, and I like the downturn on the last "town".

What an intriguing subject for a song. Jim clearly had been bored/drinking/both  , I had to Google the subject matter and find out all about Grog et al. Very cool track guys!

Excellent work here guys, flows along wonderfully
Rock on!

Lovely laid back groove, but with a hint of darkness too, it has a bit of a Radiohead circa Pablo Honey vibe to my ear.

Interesting structure too, keeps you guessing where it is all going next, which is a very good thing.

Great to hear The Kite still knocking out quality tunes.

Interesting story.  The tune you put it to makes it all the more compelling.

Excellent job, gents!!! The "break with keys" at 3:10 puts fine flavor to this!

Really enjoyed the listen lots of cool stuff going on vocal bass and guitar.
Maybe driven it harder half way just drive it home, still a great listen!

OK, I must be weird then - I knew what you were singing about (roughly) without looking it up!! (Either that or it's just cos I'm a member of Historic Royal Palaces! )

Mighty cool set of lyrics though.

Excellent song/performances guys.
