The Heathen Squirrel
Nick Worrall & Dennis Wilson - Come With Me (Holy Man instrumental with added vocals)
I took Dennis' amazing instrumental known as Holy Man and added my own words and melody to it. I like to think he wouldn't have minded. This melody came to me and seem to be a better fit than what Taylor Hawkins sang over the same backing track. The words are in the general vein of what Dennis liked to sing at the time, I think. If whoever owns the rights to the backing track wants me to take it down I will. The video is one I took of part of a regular walk I do near my house, Ronnie and Pepper in tow. It's an ancient footpath.

Nick Worrall & Alex Howard - Parasite Rex and hoverfly larvae
A video I took on the evening of the 26th June 2011. I had the evening to myself so typically I listened to Radio 6 and did some geeky music stuff on my laptop. Great days. I'm still trying to establish what species of hoverfly it is.

The Late Pioneers - Wake The Fuck Up
Stay home, saves lives. Help the NHS by spreading the word, not your germs. A song for these unique times by The Late Pioneers. We/I own nothing of the videos and will take this down if requested. I think all of them have the news logo on the image so I hope anyone watching gives a tip to their great work. Oh, apart from Shaun of the Dead, that has no logo on it but that's what the clever-clever bit in the middle came from. If you've not seen it you really should. Apparently, The Sun had some decent clips that might have worked but they are wankers so I couldn't click their stuff Much love. The LPs.

Nick Worrall - The Darkling Thrush (words by Thomas Hardy, music by Nick Worrall)
Isolated at home due to this coronavirus crisis, wrote this tune and decided to record a fully arranged piece. Thought about writing some lyrics and then realised that these wise words by Thomas Hardy suited the vibe and the metre perfectly, and here we are. The images are all artistic impressions of the poem by various artists - if they disapprove of their use here then I will remove the video and make one without the offending image. The Darkling Thrush I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was spectre-grey, And Winter's dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires. The land's sharp features seemed to be The Century's corpse outleant, His crypt the cloudy canopy, The wind his death-lament. The ancient pulse of germ and birth Was shrunken hard and dry, And every spirit upon earth Seemed fervourless as I. At once a voice arose among The bleak twigs overhead In a full-hearted evensong Of joy illimited; An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small, In blast-beruffled plume, Had chosen thus to fling his soul Upon the growing gloom. So little cause for carolings Of such ecstatic sound Was written on terrestrial things Afar or nigh around, That I could think there trembled through His happy good-night air Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew And I was unaware.

Straw Stars - We Were Searching For Ourselves In Each Other
We picked an obscure film to use for this track and forgot to mute the actual soundtrack, now you’d expect that would clash and sound rubbish but IT DOESN’T. Incredibly, its very limited audio all fits perfectly with our instrumental. e.g at around 32 secs when the guy in the hat starts playing/tuning whatever that stringed thing is - it’s playing exactly the right note! Total chance. Happy accident. We were amazed at the time, still are. Anyway, the universe works in mysterious ways. The caption at the end says the music is by Gypsy's Kiss as that was the name we came up with at the time, but it is obviously terrible so we changed it to Straw Stars but couldn't be arsed remaking the video.

Solidarity with all those seeking justice, peace and a better planet. The American Dream Is Over Somewhere across the ocean For all of the world to see You set the wheels in motion Fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers Longing to be free Waking up with the sunshine The American dream is over Now you're walking a fine line You better watch your step I see it in the distance Your broken promised land I see your new resistance Fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers And I understand Waking up with the sunshine The American dream is over Now you're walking a fine line You better watch your step Can you hear that sound? (The sound of marching feet) You hold your common ground (They've come to take you off the street) Waking up with the sunshine The American dream is over Now you're walking a fine line You better watch your step

Lightheaded
A new song by The Late Pioneers. The video has been made from a load of free archive footage from archive.org. The majority of it has taken a wonderful short animation called Pollen, by Marc Chritoforidis, but I've had to cut it up a bit to fit the music. Other clips include stuff from NASA and a few stellar computer animations, all from the same website. I do not own the rights to any of these clips and those that made them have not endorsed this video.
