Words and music by Rebsie (mostly)

A song about a leafblower ... the scourge of English middle-class suburbia.

My next-door-neighbour has a garden powertools fetish. He likes to parade up and down with an array of turbo-powered macho gadgets which make horticultural jobs a whole lot noisier, if possibly slightly quicker. Unfortunately he sometimes does this when I'm recording, and that tends to make me rather cross.

Lawnmowers I can understand, but what is the point of leafblowers? Their function is just to move debris from one place to another ... into the street or into someone else's garden ... while stirring up dust and crap into the air and making the most godawful whining noise. They're environmentally unfriendly and serve no purpose other than to turn your problem into somebody else's problem.

This song evolved out of a MacJams chat conversation I had with Stevel and Eltopo, and I have them to thank for putting me up to it. Eltopo came up with the line "Autumn days when the grass is jewelled and the neighbour's hung from the chestnut tree" ... which I thought was so good it had to be used in a song. Thanks 'topo!

My trusty collaborator Mandolinquent provided the lovely leafbloweresque lead guitar.

And no, you haven't heard Revolving Doris quite like this before!
But even folk musicians like to rock out sometimes.

Lyrics:
First day of autumn when the trees are turning gold
The man next door goes out to blow some leaves

(Leafblower) Early in the autumn when the leaves begin to fall
(Leafblower) My neighbour gets his blower out and drives me up the wall
(Leafblower) Humming and a-whining as the leaves fly through the air
(Leafblower) Spoiling my recordings till I'm going bloody spare

Can't use a rake like everybody else
Pointless powertools give him his kicks
Likes to piss the neighbours off by making loads of noise
Wasting electricity to get his fix

(Leafblower) Blowing to the left hand side and blowing to the right
(Leafblower) Blowing back the other way to shove them out of sight
(Leafblower) Blowing up the garden path and blowing down the street
(Leafblower) Leaves are splatted on my car and get stuck on my feet

First day of autumn when the trees are turning gold
Visions fly like leaves in front of me
Autumn days when the grass is jewelled
And the neighbour's hung from the chestnut tree

(Leafblower) Blowing under privet hedge and over flower bed
(Leafblower) I want to grab a garden spade and whack him round the head
(Leafblower) Blowing on the patio and blowing on the grass
(Leafblower) I'd like to take that blower thing and shove it up his arse

I'm laughing too hard to make an intelligent comment. I love the
juxtaposition between Rebsie's sweet, sweet voice and the threats of
violent murder.

I heard a rumor about collaborators having songs appear on both
pages, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Is the technology still
in development? I think I saw Simon chatting with Revolving Doris
about it last week...or I may be off the rails again. Whatever it is, I don't
plan to go anywhere near a leafblower.

Juxtaposition &mdash 02/03/06 - 03:19:34 AM
Thanks Lisa ... ah, if only there was a way for collaborators to have their
songs appear on both their pages ... that would be ideal for us. You did
indeed see us discussing it with Simon last week. There's now a box on the
upload form where you can fill in the name of your collaborator, which I did,
but it doesn't seem to show up anywhere. So I'm assuming Simon has some
wondrous scheme in development which isn't apparent yet.

The darker side of Rebs... &mdash 02/02/06 - 08:08:18 PM
So glad I use a rake. That was deliciously pretty music & harmonies, with
a great understated witty lyric... until the neighbor gets it in the end. I do
have a critique... this sounds like a gorgeous song, and needs you to nail
the harmonies, don't rush it quite so much... this is great, and needs
more polish... I would love to hear this filled out some more. The
(lefblower) harmonies were in just the perfect place. Now you need to
finish the song with a real leafblower sound wafting in, and your fading
curses...
ttfn,
Drakonis

The darker side of Rebs... &mdash 02/03/06 - 07:43:09 AM
Yeah, I take your point, Drak. All the harmony vocals were improvised, and I
guess that's immediately obvious! But to some extent the rough-and-ready
style is what I was purposely going for ... it's meant to have that 'live in the
back room of a pub' feel to it.

That's my excuse, anyway! :)

Juxtaposition 2 &mdash 02/02/06 - 11:19:40 PM
"Hissing of Summer Lawns" for the 2000s!! Lots of juxtapositions
going on here - pure as the driven vocals with murder and shoving
going on - "was the blower going to be shoved before or after the
hanging?" is of course the pertinent question here! Also liked the Olde
English vox and the dreaded leafblower guitar juxt.

I'd like to join the throng of MJers who will undoubtedly stress their
preference for a rake (for the leaves, not the shoving). I agree with
Drak that this is probably worth more work to nail it - just because
you've gone electric doesn't mean you have to lower your standards :)
If there is even a temporary vacancy on bass with Revolving Doris, I
know this bass player ............

Juxtaposition 2 &mdash 02/03/06 - 05:24:30 AM
Thanks Neil! Shove first, lynch later ... that's my motto.

If we decide to put this song on our album then it will need polishing up, but
I want to retain some of the roughness on it. It's probably nostalgia for my
leather-clad rock chick days ... I played bass in punk and metal bands in the
80s. Now THAT really was an awful racket. I bet the neighbours wanted to
skewer me with a gardening implement ...

Brilliant &mdash 02/02/06 - 11:34:00 PM
Yes, I hate them too. At the University where I used to work they would
have the groundskeepers out in the morning with backpack blowers
stirring up the grass and dust pollen and wafting it my way as I made
the very long trek from the parking garage. By the time I would make it
to my office the ole allergies were in full sway. Suffer not the
indignities of modern life but burst forth in song and skewer the
bastards as they so richly deserve!

Brilliant &mdash 02/03/06 - 06:10:27 AM
I sympathise with your allergies, bronc ... leafblowers don't do my asthma
much good either.

It's good to see this song resonating with other leafblower-haters across the
world. And fortunate that everybody has the same name for them. I was once
telling an anecdote on MJ chat about a disastrous incident when I used a
garden strimmer while stoned and wearing a long skirt, and nobody knew
what I was talking about at first ... I didn't realise that Americans call
strimmers weed wackers. In Britain, a weed wacker is more likely to be
interpreted as someone who gets stoned ... with or without a strimmer.

Great songwriting &mdash 02/03/06 - 03:17:01 AM
This is a great piece of songwriting and I only hope that my first
proper song (whenever that happens) is even half this good. I
hope Mando isn't threatened by the fact that Revolving Doris now
has two excellent songwriters amongst its membership. I know
how much work you've put into this and it's sounding fabbo! To
me this still sounds like a perfect bit of dark pop… All About Eve
meet Kirsty McColl, but with that English folk tradition, the bloody
death, and a large portion of bitter humour drawn from a well of
frustration. Sorted! I expect to hear this on the Revolving Doris LP.

Great songwriting &mdash 02/03/06 - 03:26:41 PM
Cor, thanks, I'm a big fan of All About Eve and Kirtsy MacColl, so that's a big
compliment indeed. I've been trying to write a song since I was about 13 but
this is the first time I've actually managed it. I don't think William needs to
feel threatened by it just yet ... I think he's more worried about my mando
playing. ;-)

G'wan Eppy, write a song!

As a documentary producer who pays photographers by the hour, and
who needs a quiet environment for interviews, I can't tell you how
much time (and money) I have lost waiting for leafblowers to stop
moving leaves around from one place to the other. The Hissing of
Summer Lawns? No, this is the Roar of Suburbia. Why? Why? Oh, God,
Why???

Thank you, Dorises, for this song. I'll get the rope.

This is just too great! &mdash 02/03/06 - 11:03:58 AM
Hey, I get a mention! It%u2019s the nearest thing I%u2019ve done to a collab yet!

I heard a very early demo of this tune what must be months ago and
was immediately struck by the fantastic early-80s post-punk/new
wave bass line throbbing away beneath the metallic clashing guitars
that made me think of classics of that time period like Demystifaction
by Zounds or something by Siouxie and the Banshees.

Then the other day listening to an old Blyth Power LP, Alnwick and
Tyne, and thought the girl that does the harmonies had a delivery not
dissimilar to our very own Rebsie.

I got thinking that the lyrical subject matter (which happily hops from
the brilliantly illustrated humdrum of bland everyday UK life to simple,
powerful heartfelt songs) and the proud use of little inflections to get
the songs across puts William and Rebsie very much in the area of
quirky English geniuses like Richard Thompson, Syd Barrett, Joseph
Porter, Ray Davis, Robyn Hitchcock, etc.

I really can%u2019t wait for the first CD now - and the tshirt, mousemat and
commemorative dolls.

This is just too great! &mdash 02/03/06 - 04:47:50 PM
Of course you get a mention! In the event that this song goes on an album,
you'll get a mention there too. Apart from contributing two lines to it, you
helped stir up the original idea. Without you and Stevel this song wouldn't
have happened.

I hope this version compares favourably to the demo you heard. Thanks so
much for the lovely compliments about our music ... it doesn't get much
better than quirky English geniuses. *blush*. The EP is imminent ... me and
William are pretty excited about it an' all. Revolving Doris beermats next!

And, besides the terrible noise the make, I think leafblowers are one of
the most comical contributions of civilisation.

I use to see them in autumns (and hear!). They walk around in the
parks blowing leafs to the left hand side and blowing to the right (love
your lyrics, had many good laughs). At the same time the autumn
winds are blowing around the leafs too, so, even if the leafblowers
have managed to make some difference at the end of the day, the
autumn winds take over and do what they want as soon as they've left,
and everything is quickly back to natures order.

(Personally I dont see the point in not leaving the leafs on the ground
so they can molder to soil during the winter manure the lawns).

[ Reply to This ]
and &mdash 02/03/06 - 05:31:51 PM
Yes, that's a very familiar scene you describe. On the day I wrote the song my
neighbour was blowing all the leaves out of his garden, over the pavement
and into the road. Within minutes a few passing cars had sent them scattering
in all directions.

And you're right, leaves are best left on the earth to insulate it in winter,
provide a habitat for overwintering wildlife, and to slowly break down and
enrich the soil. Failing that they can be swept up and made into a wonderful
compost. Blowing them all into the gutter is just a waste of good leaves.

I don't even rake my lawn &mdash 02/04/06 - 06:43:04 AM
This was dark yet hysterical. I know at least three people like this and in
the autumn it's great fun driving by to watch "The Blower Wars". They
basically take turns blowing their leaves into each others lawns. Glad they
don't live on my street. It's bad enough contending with the neighbor who
mows his lawn in the dark!

Great song- I love the tune and especially the bass line. At first I'll admit I
wasn't liking the tone one the lead guitar... but it started growing on me
about a minute in. You may want to either cut or use the track volume to
lower the hiss at very beginning before you start playing- or replace it
with the sound of a leafblower maybe. :0)

[ Reply to This ]
My solution is... &mdash 02/04/06 - 04:43:48 PM
...to just never rake leaves. They make good mulch for the lawn once
spring comes and it's time to cut the grass.

This is both dark and moody and funny as hell. I'm glad you're finally
taking a stand. Now, one night, you just need to quietly slip a copy of this
under you'r neighbor's door. :D

Great job you two. I enjoyed it very much.

Asking what everyone could hear outside their window one day in chat, you mentioned the leafblower then!

Was that the turning point for you and you had to record a 'protest' song?

You have a great voice and great imagination to translate the whole subject into a song.

Really good stuff. I never thought I would like a song about an inconsiderate neighbour so much.

Thanks Rebsie for being an entertainer.

Ah, Rebsie and Mando, what a perfect little bit of modern-living satire
this is. I adore the juxtaposition of your lovely, honeyed vocals with
murderous mayhem. Too, too fun!

The leaf blowers around here have ruined my sleep more than once
and we don't even have any leaves! Just palm trees, which don't shed
much. No, the leafblowers just stir up dust and debris (which always
ends up in the swimming pool. So inviting).

Therefore, I stand in solidarity with you over mutual hatred of
leafblowers. Let's kill them all!

[ Reply to This ]
Explicit pic words? &mdash 02/05/06 - 11:37:23 AM
Rebsie and Mando, novel subject manner and danceable, I listened several times
and heard more each time, As a non-leafblower owner I may oil the rake as we
have had a warm spell (for the kids to use) I even jotted some notes down while listening as each one of your song gets better. The dueling bass brings might
to the song, I really liked the electric guitar weaving in and out but I am not sure
if it was the mix, my ears or if the guitar stopped. It added a cool feature
especially with the bass and then the A/E guitar coming in. The start was one of my favorite parts. Resbie's voice and background vocal track was super.
I would think this one is ripe for inclusion on your EP or CD but (IMO) I would
work on sound levels in some areas as the vocals while beautiful were a bit out front to me and somewhat drowned out the instruments(A/E) I read your comments that you want to keep a rough edge on it and follow your instincts
I am just one listener. Not sure if you were miking amps or recording direct?
Possibly some compression, chorus and a hint of reverb or delay may bring the electric guitar out(sorry for being so critical, I am a tweaker mixing but still with a enormous amount to learn)) Overall though its a very very
good song on a interesting subject matter. Cheers!

Hung, shoved and blown... &mdash 02/06/06 - 07:30:25 AM
... I notice Gloucester Constabulary have been investigating a string of
gruesome deaths involving noisy horticultural machinery but owing to
cutbacks, they've had to trim the available budget and shed some of
the investigation team. Indeed the leader of the investigation has now
been placed on gardening leave...

Okay, okay, I'll quit trying to branch out into being a comic and tell you
what I thought - I really dug this song! Lyrically you've taken the
apparently barren topic of leafblowers and turned it into fertile ground,
I'm really impressed at the way you've blossomed into a songwriter.
Top tune too - the bass provides a great grounding. The mix might be
a bit muddy but nothing a hose down won't sort.

PS. Too few songs end with the word 'arse'...
PPS. You and Mando seem to specialise in songs about neighbours and
dead people... is there a connection?

Love the guitar at the start of this, sounds kind of e-bowed. As is typical of your stuff, it sounds great if you don't listen to the lyrics, then when you do listen to the lyrics, it adds another dimension completely to the song.

LOL &mdash 01/15/08 - 08:48:20 AM
You sing is so sweetly, while your mind is inventing better and stronger ways of making him stop. I can relate to this. my next door neighbor's son decided to have band practice in their garage, a few feet off my property. It not only kept me from recording, but from hearing the tv or conversation. And they were terrible non musicians, to the point of making all the neighborhood dogs howl in pain. I'm glad they realized they were not meant to be America's next boy band. At least you got a great song out of your neighbor's obsession.

If somebody said to me that they could make a brilliant song about a leafblower I wouldn't believe them - but you have proved me wrong! Just hysterical! We should get together sometime and jam - I am only in Charlton Kings. xoxox
