Nobody tells me - nobody knows - where the wind comes from or where the wind blows - why the seasons change or the river flows - nobody tells me, cause nobody knows!

Hi folks. I have added a lot of videos recently. Please take a look!
Hi folks, This site acts as a personal archive of my work. So you'll find my best recordings here as well as some pretty crappy ones. The earliest recordings here were made on simple cassette decks, others were made on mobile phones, some are live recordings made at various gigs over the years, a handful were made in small recording studios, but most of the more recent ones were made at home on a Zoom portable studio, which itself is now rather ancient! If you like a song and want to download it, click on 'Full song info' for that song and you will see the download link. You can also read the lyrics and any background information on the songs that I may have added. All my music is available for free - enjoy :) cheers, Charles

Story behind the song
I wrote this song in 1973 around the time that I realised that it was quite OK not to know and that not knowing is nothing to be either worried about or ashamed of - and that the worst thing to do is to claim to know when you don't or to follow people who claim to know when they really don't. This is when I realised that philosophy has never really moved much beyond Socrates...!!! This is a joyful song - there is great happiness to be found in surrendering to the mystery!!
Lyrics
Nobody tells me Nobody knows Where the wind comes from Or where the wind blows Why the seasons change Or the river flows Nobody tells me Cause nobody knows Tell me why does the river flow? And tell me why do the seeds and the trees grow and grow and grow and grow? Why the sky? Why you and I? Why? Why? Why? Nobody tells me Cause nobody knows Oh tell me why does the river flow? And tell me why do the stars in the sky Glow and glow and glow and glow? Why the seasons change? Why the mountains range? Why the sea? Why you and me? Why? Why? Why? Nobody tells me Cause nobody knows Where the wind comes from Or where the wind blows Why the seasons change Or the river flows Nobody tells me Cause nobody knows Nobody no no no Nobody knows Nobody no no no no no Nobody knows!
