"Down for the Count"

The Inspiration

This image has been in my head since 2011 and the story is even more incredible. It inspired part of the chorus of "Down for the Count"


Push and shove, 

fall in love 

kiss the Sky above

DOWN FOR THE COUNT 

(the WAR Mix 2022)

words & music by Peter Manaena (Ma9Na) June 6th, 2020


I am free, free, free, take a piece of me, me, me 

Fear is good, hate appears, and nobody Cares

and nobody Cares

Cares Cares Cares………………. Let’s Go!


Marching feet, drum the beat, driving home Defeat

Flow of blood, like a flood, turning life to mud

Brothers died, sisters cried, and somebody Lied

Sticks for Graves, children play, spoils of War displayed

What a shame it’s insane loosing Winless Games

Let’s, let’s, let’s, let’s, let’s Go


Push and shove, fall in love kiss the Sky above

Good is feared hate appears and nobody Cares

I’m the one, touch the sun, wouldn’t that be fun?

DOWN FOR THE COUNT

As you kneel need to feel that his life was Real

Then you bleed for their greed yet the Needy Need

I am Free, I am Free, take a piece of me 

DOWN FOR THE COUNT


Real Reality

Reality that’s Real


Hear the shouting, it’s all your Noise

Only care about your boys and Toys

Shield a baby from an angry Gun

No more love no more fun, Wars begun

Write the page with Insanity

Stain the skin of Humanity


Push and shove, fall in love kiss the Sky above

Good is feared, hate appears, and nobody Cares

I’m the one touch the sun wouldn’t that be Fun?

DOWN FOR THE COUNT

As you kneel need to feel that his life was Real

Then you bleed for their Greed yet the Needy Need

I am Free, I am Free, take a piece of me

DOWN FOR THE COUNT


Drum Break


Guitar Solo’s


Push and shove, fall in love kiss the Sky above

Good is feared, hate appears, and nobody Cares

I’m the one touch the Sun wouldn’t that be Fun?

DOWN FOR THE COUNT

As you kneel need to feel that his life was Real

Then you bleed for their greed yet the Needy Need

I am Free, I am Free, take a piece of me

DOWN FOR THE COUNT


Push and shove, fall in love kiss the Sky above

Good is feared, hate appears, and nobody Cares

I’m the one touch the sun wouldn’t that be Fun?

DOWN FOR THE COUNT

As you kneel need to feel that his life was Real

Then you bleed for their greed yet the Needy Need

I am Free, I am Free, take a piece of me

DOWN FOR THE COUNT


Brass Break


DOWN FOR THE COUNT 

Justify just- Justifiable

DOWN FOR THE COUNT 

Justify just- Justifiable

I am Free

Gerry Murrell test video shoot

  

Finally, there are some videos featuring Gerry Murrell and his red guitar. Two years ago, this was a practice shoot to test my lighting and Peter Curtis's (ABC award-winning cameraman) video camera setup. This gives me plenty of confidence going into this new stage of setting up again in a garage with plenty of new bits and pieces I have bought, borrowed, or stolen (actually made), lol!

Still my favorite song:
