Staring at the Crossroads (Original by Ben Buttrick)

A song I posted a three weeks ago …that Johnny AKA ~  ( No Killie Fish) ~ https://soundcloud.com/johnnymc2 took me up on my request...
for someone to put a backing track down for me. I have been so often amazed at Johnny’s talent, I of course took him up on this!!

Johnny took my raw acoustic song  and put a some wonderful instrumentation down for me to put a another vocal take on it, then he mixed it and mastered it … Was really very happy with the results. ( Thank you Johnny)

This was a first effort of a long ago song ... (originated from a little poem I wrote well over 40 years ago)"
"Dockman's got a cold hand,...first ship off at dawn,
Liberty Sails ..to the horizon ...now she's gone"

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodnight

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

I’ve only been there once…just a little port in Maine
A sleepy little harbor town…that I’d love to see again
Dockman’s got a cold hand…first ship off at dawn
Liberty sails…to the horizon…now she’s gone

Still see her blue eyes…staring’ through my soul
As this ocean rolls… me… miles and miles from shore
Still feel her loving hands…here on my face
Feel them slip away…again I start to cry…cause I’m
Miles… from shore…and but I never… never sailed goodbye

Quiet little café...Near the edge of town
Late at night …when lonely comes around
Eyes danced …we make love…till the morning light
Anchors raised …one long kiss goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never, never sailed goodbye
I’m miles from shore, but I never …sailed goodbye

Lyrics: 
So, don't you think it's getting old now
Empty rounds, sprayed all around
So, don't you think it's getting old now
It could be different now
Somehow

Not another one, oh no

Wake up

not another one - Jonathan Beckenstein/cw

I usually don't sit on unreleased tracks... but this one started last Winter as a proposed collaboration that never came together. After giving it another listen recently, it resonated with me as an especially good track to put out during the week of the Summer Solstice! This is my favorite time of year and I'm finding there is something really nostalgic about this one. Once again the minilogue xd is heavily featured.

Sunday July 31 2022 I was given the chance to be on air for an hour set on Vía De Acceso (@viadeacceso) at Lumbung Radio (https://lumbungradio.stationofcommons.org). I sincerely thank my friends Çois Agver (@ois-agver) and Jorge Lara (@enternetboy) for offering me this great opportunity of a full hour show.
I really didn't expect that, so I tried to make the set more exciting by sending them a few unreleased tracks, dating from 1999 to 2005, I had found after an accurate search on my hard disks. I had never considered releasing any of them before, and I personally think they mostly have a documentary value, as they represent memories of my own learning process in making music on a computer. They actually might be thought of as unfinished works, each one somehow resulting incomplete under a different perspective. Still I thought it was a nice chance to introduce a bit of Teth Sin's musical roots to friends, fans and listeners.
A noticeable exception is represented by this ambient piece I had called "Semiramis" at the time, which I actually consider as complete. A few minutes before writing these lines I found out that it dates back to 2002, not 2004 as I thought in the first place. No wonder I have not much to say about the concept, since I can hardly remember when I did it. But it certainly had to be a kind of a meditation on Semiramis' tragic destiny, no matter which of the numerous traditions about her legend we decide to accept as "true". Her figure is mysterious and ephemeral to such a point that she didn't even deserve a plain condemnation by mankind. It somehow sounded tragic to my ears, so I tried to create a sonic sculpture of such an uncomfortable condition.
During the broadcast I heard Çois stating that the track should be officially released. I'm currently working on a few titles after a period of decreased activity, due to some major issues I've been going through lately, but none of them is ready... So I happily accepted Çois' tip, releasing this good old tune today... In wait of something new coming [hopefully] soon!
Hope you'll all enjoy, and even if you don't... Just listen to Vía De Acceso (@viadeacceso) at https://lumbungradio.stationofcommons.org (or to their archive hosted here on SoundCloud at taRka's page @myrhyum) !!!

Lyrics:
Joey held the bottle upside down
Squeezed it and the smile turned to frown

It was the ketchup precum! 
Once a delicacy grilled under the sun
and now a wet hot dog between a soggy bun

Oh yeah ketchup pre cum
That's what you get when you don't shake before you squeeze

I didn't really fancy any discolored water with my meal tonight
I was really looking forward to those tater tots, Before I took a bite
A magnificent meal that was shattered by one squirt
A puddle that stares me in the face from the plate 
Left me in a world of hurt

Ketchup yeah!
Precum No!

My Burgers!
My fries!
One squirt could meet the demise of the food that I eat

You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
You don't want
The ketchup precum No no no!
You don't want it slaughtering your plate
It's a liquid that everyone hates
Don't you know that no one wants to deal with the dreaded ketchup precum
