Limbo 03:46
Limbo (Words & Music Baxter Stone) When I was a young boy Sitting on my grandpa’s knee He said grandson I realised The day they shot Jack Kennedy He said there are many roads in life for you to travel Some seem like heaven and some seem like hell But the roads you hate the most are like perpetual limbo Circling on highways going nowhere at all Limbo la la da da da do Well grandpa was a true man A strong man in the union He had tattoos under his sleeves yeah He drank beer with handsome women He said I don’t chase no rainbows And I don’t like a pig headed boss And I don’t like the judgements Of narrow minded folks And I don’t take the crap That some people try to serve you Freedom’s what you need grandson Not heaven hell or limbo Limbo la la da da da do Stick it

Subdivided 03:45
Subdivided (Words & Music Baxter Stone) The world is divided And people multiplying Then they subdivide with Their telephones still dialing There should be no loneliness With so many people around Going nowhere in a hurry Feeding their minds with worry Perhaps its best not To believe everything your told No qualifications Needed for sensation All across the nation Contemplation Heliocentric theory Copernicus had it all figured it out Going nowhere in a hurry Feeding their minds with worry Perhaps there’s one day you’ll Believe that all you got is now Budda had it all He’d seen it all before Contemplate the feeling Knowing what’s it’s meaning And lay his tender heart breaking Bleeding all over the ground Feeling high an low Don’t matter which way you go It’s all part of that open road You got to seek it out No qualifications Needed for sensations All across the nation Contemplation Heliocentric theory Copernicus had it all figured it out Going nowhere in a hurry Feeding their minds with worry Perhaps there’s one day you’ll Believe that all you got is now Everything you know (all you got is now) Will slip into a black hole (all you got is now) Slow down The world is sub-divided And people multiplying Politics sub dividing The world is sub-divided And people multiplying (all you got is now) Politics sub dividing (all you got is now)

Something Going Right (Words & Music Baxter Stone) You don’t have to run fast It’s not really a hard task You don’t have to wear a mask Or hide your troubles in a hip flask For everything going wrong, something going right For everything going wrong, something going right For everything going wrong, something going right Yeah something’s going right yeah something’s going right Get off your high horse Live your dream in your time machine Parachuting down you pat a blood hound Make a choice as you leap from lovers leap For everything going wrong, something going right For everything going wrong, something going right For everything going wrong, something going right Yeah something’s going right yeah something’s going right For everything that’s going wrong something’s going right Something going right, something’s going right Climb a ship mast to see in the distance Pick up the broken pieces and make a new start Move a mountain and part the seas But don’t go walking on the water just yet oh yeah For everything that’s going wrong something’s going right Something going right, something’s going right yeah Move a mountain and part the sea Don’t go walking on the water Yeah don’t go walking on the water Because today something’s going right Yeah today something’s going right Yeah today something’s going right Yeah today something’s going right Going right Going right Going right Yeah today something’s going right

Into The Nowhere (Words & Music Baxter Stone) The head man had it coming Been hitting us for days And when the sky got cloudy We swore We’d run away Head out into the desert Stealing a four wheel drive We drove for days To find another life Into the nowhere Into the nowhere This an’t nowhere And then it didn’t rain No water on any track There’s nothing in the flask No diesel in the tank On those tall sandy dunes Two lost soul jackaroos Who wander round in circles and there our souls still are Into the nowhere Into the nowhere This ain’t nowhere

Leap of Faith (Words & Music Baxter Stone) In the future london underground Nothing’s gonna keep it down Its a fire, its a leap of faith Its a diamond in a concealed place What’s up with life is inside out A real truth gets harder to define You got nothing only self respect these days Big society is just concept on page Brash washing headlines repeat the modern lie We watched the wheels fall off and the bus catch fire I’d been a walking by this river for hours I got to take the plunge and do it now (Chorus) Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith (Bridge) Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith (Chorus) Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith If i could turn this whole thing around Make right the things that are wrong with it now We caught the bus that caught on fire Got to make a jump and do it fast Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith Oh its a leap of faith

Those Men of Steam (Words & Music Baxter Stone) Rambling men And men of steam Hitching rides On a horse of iron The music takes you To another place and time Well I once had a dog and her name was Rudi She’d like to roll around in the clover I’d flick the ball off the ground And she like it when I throw it around She’d like to kick that ball Run around Fridays nights outside the railway hotel And there’s a band playing Those good old time tunes At the hotel with the old time blues Well the head belly buzzards They reigned surpreme Echoing down that old railway line Well we liked to play all night Sing the blues Play all night And sing those old time tunes ‘Alright Headbellys’ Rambling men And men of steam Hitching rides On a horse of iron The music takes you To another place and time Well I once had a dog and her name was Rudi She’d like to roll around in the clover With the music would echoing down that railway line Those men of steam and Their horse of iron Those men of steam and Their horse of iron Those men of steam and Their horse of iron

The Day the Race Was Won (Words & Music Baxter Stone) The winner is on the podium The trophy shines in the sun The crowd is cheering The race has been won Champagne over flows That final lap was close Amazed how the winner Overcame his opponents To be first past the post On that day On that day The race was won The competition is complete and all bets are off The compere has gone home The cleaners clean up the dirt I’m still pursuing my moment in the sun My race is still going I’ve hardly begun On that day On that day The race was won On the day the race was won On the day the race was won On the day the race was won On the day the race was won On the day it was won I was lying in bed On the day the race was run I was looking at the sky On the day the race was won It all passed me passed me by On the day On the day The race was won Now my memory’s full On this road I have traversed I’m on an endeavor filled with poetry and verse Now my mission is complete I did all the sums Praying for salvation When the day is done On the day it was won I was lying in bed On the day the race was run I was looking at the sky On the day the race was won It all passed me passed me by On that day On that day Mmm the race was won

Slowburning (Words & Music Baxter Stone & Alun Lane) Seasons jumbled, season muddled Time distorted in a bottle I sense the dark surrounding you Boilers steaming day dreaming Infrared red a new Indecision overwhelmed by choice and persuasion You feel in control I sense the dark surrounding you Boilers steaming day dreaming Infrared red a new Slowburn Slowburn Thank you father for I have sinned It’s the state of the city spin Can I bare my soul In a slowburn In a slowburn I sense the dark surrounding you Boilers steaming day dreaming Infrared red a new I sense the dark drowning you Boilers steaming day dreaming Infrared red a new I sense the dark surrounding you Boilers steaming day dreaming Infrared red a new I sense the dark drowning you Boilers steaming day dreaming Infrared red a new In a slowburn In a slowburn

Deep Deep Down (Words & Music Baxter Stone) I was slinking around Well I was wandering and fishing there I was fishing for something but I wasn’t fishing for air I was looking for comfort some little reassurance Everything would be okay Everything could be okay Because I was Da da da down Feeling underground Yeah Da da da down Feeling underground Under the ground Deep deep down I waited for you I was wondering what I should do Should I write a letter or sing a song Call you up on the telephone Should I come around Sit on your doorstep Sing through your window Till you took some notice Took some notice Da da da down Feeling underground Yeah Da da da down Feeling underground Under the ground Deep deep down They don’t own any right You can’t tell the stars to shine Steal away with us tonight To some forgotten paradise Safe from a flame on that distant shore It extinguishes and cries forward And a sword upon the forge And man who crafts that sword To fight in some unfinished war Bad luck sealed our fate All down the line We were struggling day to to day Arguing the night away Cos i was Da da da down Feeling underground Yeah Da da da down Feeling underground Under the ground Deep deep down Under the ground Deep deep down

about

Baxter Stone is an Australian musician.

Slowburning is the result of a collaboration with Baxter Stone and Alun Lane. While Baxter was living in London.

Mostly Baxter's compositions Alun contributed the track 'You Don't Know Me' and an instrumental called 'Slowburn'. Baxter came up wth melody and lyric and hence the name of the album 'Slowburning'

The two musicians met at an open mic jam night in London that Baxter was hosting.

Alun Lane guitarist and multi instrumentalist who contributed thought provoking arrangements and instrumentation played drums, bass, guitar, keyboards.

Musician David Williams plays bass on some tracks

The material was recorded over a period of 12 months during 2011 and 2012. Baxter had to return to Australia in November 2012 so most of the material only got performed a handful of times live with Alun Lane on guitar, Dave Williams on bass, Mufa on drums and Paul Handley on keys. Only a handful of CDs were ever produced and sold out.

Baxter performs some of the songs with his current band The Chocolate Dogs and solo.

Fortunately all the original multi-tracks were saved on a hard disk and with better mastering facilities at our disposal this remastered version preserves the charm and magic of the seasons at greater clarity and fidelity.
