80s good bits all over this one, sounds like a good time to be

Hey Aquacade, great sounding tune! Digging your unique use  of unusual instruments! Cool original vibe! Nice work!

Aquacade has a very fine style and sound! Great songwriting and instrumentation here!

Interesting lyric! Fine melodies in the main tune and in the musical bed

A banned book fetish. That's our current kink.

LYRICS
--------------------------
A secret knock, a hidden door, a narrow hallway
The eyeless guide sees us inside, watching us always
As we meander down the aisles, 
Rows of spines which stretch for miles
And we show our special card
On the scent of another shard

A vaulted dome, a musty tome, an umbrous alcove
A sacred space, a quiet place, a sunken treasure trove
Details infinitesimal
Dewiest of decimals
Ever stranger truth to know
As we squish the forbidden fruit between our toes

A deeper shaft, an ancient craft, a garish goblin
The icy stare, the purple hair, a memory maudlin
Going deep down in the mines
With a shining pick to grind
The librarian lights the way
Understands the game we play

A puzzle piece, a glob of grease, a rusted lever
A blazing fire, we never tire, we nurse our fever
Run our fingers down the crease
Gently comb the golden fleece
Read aloud the sacred scroll
Let's show these muggles how we roll

They cant stand you, they want to ban you
They want to sterilize and pack you up and can you
They prefer truth that's mass produced
Because they're lacking the tenacity to grasp you
So let me ask you: what's the bigger threat?
While we're waiiting on a bomb you haven't dropped yet
They'd rather burn you then have to learn you
Their little fingers are too slippery to turn you
The truth waits for us to dissect it
And librarians are here to protect it
So grab some glasses if you need
And climb atop the worlds' mightiest steed
We're gonna read until our fingers bleed
It's a seed, it's a need, it's an urge you gotta heed
It's a growl in your stomach that you know you gotta feed
Let's show 'em how to read!

The Librarian

Memories of my adolescence it was one of the favorite songs of my parents, now sadly deceased, I have come to share this video, a personal cover of one of Georges AURIC's songs taken from the film "Moulin Rouge" (Moulin Des Amours) that I have suitable for guitar. (I still deliver the S.C version) ...I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  YouTube:  https://youtu.be/eoNauyZnlFs

Moulin Rouge (Moulin Des Amours)

*** This extended version was not planned, rather, inspiration called for it, and I felt compelled to revisit this piece. I hope you will enjoy this new version. ***

A requiem for my sister Lisa, and 4th movement of a work I have planned to complete as I have time and inspiration for each part of my outline.

The title comes from my daughter, who heard me as I was playing with the initial melodic idea, and said it sounds like a mourning bird.

This piece is best heard through headphones or quality stereo speakers to hear all the details.

Special thanks to the following, in no particular order, for their feedback, support and kindness which helped me to make this piece what it is.

Birds of Mourning: Extended Version

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02  2023

A song about making life choices.  Make a choice that you think will work out, and then it doesn't; need to change ones plans; and sometimes other choices work out without a hitch.

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02 2023

Traffic light; take a left here; signal right, 
I think I know which way to go.
Merge in fast, the zoomin' fast lane, 
hoping for a slow country road,
but nothings in sight.

Which way to go.
Which way.

Always a choice, was it right, 
only time will tell with some assessing.
Layer and repair when things don't work out,
cuz you can't start again.

<Keys break>

Sometimes everyday selections,
turn into corrections;
Domino effect; unexpected conundrums.
...but then life starts to hit the right sail.
Get it right, things start to flow.
 
Which way to go.
Which way.

outro.

Which Way To Go

Something a bit different to shake off those blues :) Written in the style of a New Orleans jazz band. For Trumpet, Clarinet, Trombone, Banjo, honkytonk piano and a rhythm section of Double Bass, drums with clapping.

Thank you for listening 👍

Well That's All

Nothing to Say at All

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Carlos Vivanco
For this tune, I used three minor Pentatonic scales, D minor, A minor, and E minor. The time signature is  12/8 and the instruments are a Fender Fretless Jazz bass, a PRS guitar with a Fishman midi pickup, a Yamaha piano, and my  Sonor Drums that I turn into electronic Drums myself. I hope you guys enjoy it!

At The End Of The Blue Sky

My profound thanks to Gaz and Andy for allowing me to tag along on their excellent track! What an aboslute pleasure to work with these two pro's.. !!!  
A great song written by Gaz, it tells the story of the recklessness we must grow out of, to finally become wise,  which only comes from bitter experience. 
Expertly produced and mixed by Noobly..   I give you .. the Conscience of Kings!

Lyrics By Gaz Brownie:

You have a  affliction 
(to your addictions)
You have looked death in the eye
(Shed the  crocodile tear dry )
A life that’s been designed 
(You Crashed, burnt &  survived )
In the early hours 
(Thank god no roadside flowers )
You gambled on your life 
Took a massive risk that night 
Pushing against the rules
Thinking your invincible

This is to  the man  who’s a boy 
Who’s had everything x2
You are down  to the wire 
Running faster getting Higher

This is your father and your mother 
Dealing with you  like no other
Your in  danger of going to far
Especially that night in the car 
Something will give or happen 
So break the cycle of this  pattern
It’s time to grow up 
For the boy who’s  had everything

memphis - this one came from the other side. the overlord was hard at work on this one. who knows wtf, i just let it pour. then i screened it to be sure it contained the appropriate ratio of profanities while delivering a very powerful, catchy, and mysterious song that I hope you like. excuse the hastily prepared bass/drum track - this one will make a great studio track! as always, thank you for listening and give me your feedback.  I love all y'all.

i mean that.

In the days before, I don’t know if I understood
When you said what you said, when I first saw you
In the John Peel bar that night 

In the days before, I knew I loved you, as soon as you spoke 
And there was nothing we needed to say
That night, at the Camden Palace St Valentine’s 

And we will not grow old; and we will not diminish 
And we will not be aged by the corrosive agents of time
We will not be stained by the filth of degradation
Nor crushed by the humiliation of indignity   
And we will endure, and we will be constant
And we will carousel in the wheel of time
And we will swim in the eroticism of beauty
And we will lie in the cradle of our ancestors  
And there we will continuously be reborn
Until the last time,
When we will be seen, to have survived.

The John Peel Bar

We love that we can share our music, which we write, play and record, and we value any feedback we get. We also love to listen to the music you all make. There’s so much talent out there, it’s great that SoundCloud gives it a voice.
