Sometimes you just feel like telling a sad story. Life contains a lot of things and sadness is just one of them. To recognize it is to allow some room for happiness to enter. Take a look at these lyrics and you’ll see that the star of the story found some measure of happiness in her life. I like to think she fully enjoyed the good parts.
“Fly Away Some Time” is a dreamscape about flying away from the cares of the world with one’s love. It was in the dead of winter in North America and Ed was dreaming of flying away to a tropical paradise. Out of that dream came “Fly Away Some Time”. First released as a nearly live acoustic single on the out print “The Real Deal”, it has become a staple on Ed’s live shows. Ed brought back his his virtual band Podunk to make this track more like what he was hearing in his head when he wrote it quite a while ago. This electrified version has lots of electric twelve string jangle and a much stronger rhythm section. This remixed version has a much better feel.
Ed and The Podunk Virtual Band are back with this gentle reminder that what matters is the journey, not the station. Plenty of twelve string jangle and such on this one. This one, while recent is a return to Ed’s folk-rock roots.
Sometimes your guitar calls you to follow it to new places without your usual playmates. “Variable Clouds” is such a trip. Ed tried several Podunk Virtual Band versions but ended up deciding this solo acoustic format worked best.
During the trying times of this pandemic, Ed Amann and his virtual band, Podunk are back with cheerful but still somewhat pointed message of hope for when this trial is past.
Ed Amann and Podunk are back with a user friendly reminder to consider those who fall between society’s cracks. Lots energy and twelve string jangle here to make a somewhat harsh message go down a little easier. “Sing Out” is sort of a “finger pointing” song. Just a call to consider the many folks who try to do the right things every day and still end up suffering. We are all in this world together, like it or not. The time for hate is running out very quickly. Podunk is Ed’s virtual band. They are Ed Amann, vocals and lead guitar, Eddy Appleseed, vocals and rhythm guitar, Edward L, Bass guitar and P. C. Bot, drums.
History has been ignored yet again with the predicted results and people around the world are forced to go into the streets and stand for justice.
A new visualization of a song from the “Playing the Game” cd. Just a timely reminder that we seem to have forgotten the lessons of history. This version is in production style of Ed Amann and Podunk with full electric instrumentation.
“Island Daydream” is a daydream woven of that special magic of the sound of six steel wires strung on some fine wood.
“Headed Back To Erin” is an American Irish song about people leaving their homes to make a new life in a new place.
Imagine a moonlit evening, the sun sets on the sea below your wings as you and your love fly on through the night, turning into the dreams you always were as you “Fly Away Some Time”.
