Madman

Growing up in post-war Britain we had two things; freedom to roam the countryside from an early age, and very little stuff to entertain or distract from the roaming. The most interesting and scariest draws in the woods were vagrants (hobos)passing through,or camping even in winter. We kept our distance as instructed, but their life stories were a good subject for a boy`s imagination.

Madman

in the last wild wood castle
past the freeway that buried this town
the man who once flew Spitfires
skins a rabbit by the sickle moon
far away as a constellation
city lights the unreachable shore
of a world that watched him falling
blood red sky nineteen forty four

as boys we tracked his shadow
his eye so raven bright
at our voices his body would tremble
like a deer in the headlights
and shouting at him from the turnstile
laughing madly all the way home
we stopped to see him waving
conducting his private storm

he`d fling his black hat
over the wheat field
into the flames see it tumble and spin
the madman`s soul
flies over the wheat field
like a raven with a broken wing

round the snares of his rag and bone outpost
harvest threshers thrum back and forth
cutting golden life in ripples
the cold steel of his unkind thoughts
but he remembers her name was Annie
when the wheat turns the colour of her hair
and he curses the ones who`d harm her
calls her name as a prayer

he flings his black hat
over the wheat field
into the flames see it tumble and spin
the madman`s soul
flies over the wheat field
like a raven with a broken wing

there`s an oak in the wild wood castle
after twenty years of siege
bears scars of the man who flew Spitfires
where the ravens wheel and grieve
among the rust and the rags and the ashes
there`s a name carved in the bone
of a mirror I held for a moment
for looking there turned my blood to stone

now I sing my black song
over the wheat field
into the flames hear it tumble and spin
for the madman`s soul
that flies over the wheat field
and for the raven with a broken wing
for the raven with a broken wing

Such an interesting narrative, Robert.

A truly beautifully descriptive lyric.

"past the freeway that buried this town"
"city lights the unreachable shore"
"conducting his private storm"
"cutting golden life in ripples"
"when the wheat turns the colour of her hair"
"calls her name as a prayer"

...and many more...

The heart of folk music. Enjoyed.

Hi!

Wow, what a beautifully written folk song! We're still mesmerized by this song. Such a wonderful story. The backing tracks were made for this song. Your voice, and the song, reminded us of John Denver. I hope you take that as the complement we intended.

Simply wonderful! We can't think of any other way to out it. Thanks for the great listen.

Floyd,
This was an early write and its a favourite of mine- brings back the time and place as well as that boy making stories of everything.
Thanks for your very kind comments.

Alan & Di,
Thank you!
For the backing I was aiming for a Fairport Convention folk rock sound -happy you thought it worked for the song.
I`m only familiar with John Denver`s hits and now you`ve made me curious about his lesser known songs.

Yes! Very nicely told story. The "band" was absolutely perfect. Love the finger-picked guitar and fiddle. Your vocal is as good as I've heard from you (or almost anyone else). Really excellent work!! Take care. Greg

That is a superb write and performance Robert. There are literally too many wonderful lines to pick out a favorite. Janice and I both were captured and taken back to your world.

What a gift to be able to remember in such rich imagery and then have the skills to reduce it to pure poetry. My childhood years are a blur with occasional glimpses of clarity...but not often.

Your choice of RT's is both interesting and effective and the mix works very nicely with your vocal.

"The heart of folk music" indeed.

Fantastic write, another great one

I see that it's from 95, thanks for bringing this out

and sharing. I'm a history buff and you captured my

imagination quickly with the opening lines.

in the last wild wood castle
past the freeway that buried this town
the man who once flew Spitfires
skins a rabbit by the sickle moon

That is great writing! I can see that Spitfire so clearly

the desolation is painted in this scene so well

very nice mix also, a lot of thought as to how to

make those drums bring a dynamic powerful build to this

good stuff

Kenny

Bob,
Thanks for that - glad you liked this song. The production took a number of tries as the acoustic/electric folk rock sound is a balancing act.

Greg,
You are too kind... but I`ll take the kudos on the "band" as mixing the rock waltz guitar & drums with bluegrass fiddle & acoustic guitar did take some work.

Janice & Bud,

That`s much appreciated.
I was a wordy kid who didn`t write much until way later... when I discovered I had a pretty good memory too.

Robert,

Well almost everything has already been said here, so what could I add?
Wait, I know:

Your voice here is so nice and fragile, it's got that slightly dark tone in it, that reminds me of Philadelphia from Neil Young. In fact there's more of your songs that remind me of Neil which should be a fine complement ;-)
beautiful lyrics, beautiful song.
You've outdone yourself again!

Rob

Thanks Kenny!
I tried to make the transition from folk to folk rock fit the build of the song - glad you thought it worked.
I started songwriting in `94 and still have a few left in that locker.

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
