Let me introduce you to Ken McAlester. He sent me his track called The Great Escape that he looped up out in Dublin, Ireland. Part of this track is a sample based off a song called I could be happy by The Dovers, a folk rock group from 1965 out of good ol’ Santa Barbara, California. You may also recognize The Dovers from the band Atlas Sound who used a loop of The Dovers in a song called Walkabout.
Skeleton Jones- The Great Escape…
I am excited about this one, I love the lyrics he put to this. Ken records under the name Skeleton Jones, a name he says he “stumbled upon”. Now, I know that Skeleton Jones is a scary name and if you google it you will get some freaky stuff so stick with his myspace page (where you can listen to more of Ken’s awesome stuff)…I am digging Skeleton Jones, stay tuned for more of Ken’s music endeavors. Bring on the weekend, all I want is to escape!

I am waiting for some intervention
save me from this situation
light is failing all around
light is failing all aorund
All you give is conversation
it won’t stop this hands from shaking
all I want is to escape
I just wanted to escape
I am waiting for some explanation
seems my train has left it’s station
light another cigarette
I’ll light another cigarette
All my plans and all my schemes
don’t seem like they used to seem
all I want is to escape
I just wanted to escape
All you give is conversation
it won’t stop this hands from shaking
all I want is to escape
I just wanted to escape
All my plans and all my schemes
don’t seem like they used to seem
all I want is to escape
I just wanted to escape

I wonder what stereotype this music classifies you in…..I guess “He who is livin’ the dream!”
