Love this - really very nice track indeed!

what a cool carnival of a song. wonderful. play on. (<;

Love this song! Everything sounds so cool together.  Outstanding vocals and performances!

Garden of the Sun is about heart connections that reach beyond time and space. 
I wrote it when I missed my best friend who lived on the other side of the world so much, but at the same time it felt like somehow our hearts could rise above the earth and shout HELLO! very loudly from space. And when we met again after years, it seemed we had never actually been apart.

In My Lifetime

Zen in linen shirts
They sap upon the day
Like every other morning star
Acceptable and fey
December dismembered my instruments
I can’t tell you that now
But I say

No Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
Anyway
No Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
Go away
Go the fuck away

Implicated 
I don’t know
I said myself a dozen times
Once or twice I fell below it
I remember bottom lines
But never being like you
Never being like you
I won’t “peace out, dude”
Away with you

Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
Anyway
No Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
No Jared Leto
Go away
Go the fuck away

No Jared Leto

Back at The Basement (voice memo)

They say Angels walk among us
Spreading their grace, I’m giving chase
Are you looking for man?  That’s what I am
Or as close as I can, given how I was raised

This is a safe space
Baby say what you mean, & mean what you say
O this love affair is what it is, here’s a rain-drenched kiss
On your smiling upturned face

Babe, you better be ready

I’m gonna kiss you in the rain
I’m gonna drink you like water
With my arms round your waist
I’m gonna show you my hunger
Gonna put you in danger
Then whisk you away

I don’t bring much to the table
There’ll be no Champagne in Paris, no box for Turandot
Just this flat in Sanitá, Aperol, & some blue-eyed soul
& a kiss for you on our way home

I’m just happy to see you

I’m gonna kiss you in the rain
I’m gonna fill you with pleasure
Fill my mouth with your taste
I’m gonna love you forever
Make you come untethered
& float off into space

Baby promise me there’ll be more days like these
Someday I wanna to see the sunlight on your knees

Must be something in the water
As it falls down Heaven onto your cheeks
I’m talkin bout movin in, livin in sin
A fixer-upper in the East End
& we’ll make love under the leaks

I’m gonna kiss you in the rain
I’m gonna drink you like water
Wrap my arms round your waist
I’m gonna show you my hunger
Gonna put you in danger
Then whisk you away

I’m gonna kiss you in the rain
May the foulest of weather
Never go to waste
I’m gonna touch you so tender
Surrender my gender
Till we’re one & the same

I’m gonna kiss you in the rain
I’m gonna fill you with pleasure
Wish I could bottle your taste
I’m gonna love you forever
Make you come untethered
& float off into space.

Kiss You In The Rain

a voice memo from tonight (march 23, 2023 12:14am)

like & share if you’re feeling it! >>

L Y R I C S:
I have such a pretty smile
It’s gonna suck to loose my teeth
I haven’t got cavities
I never had discrepancies

[THIS IS THE FIRST LINE I WROTE FOR “VINES” — ALL OF WHICH WAS DONE WELL UNDER AN HOUR. FOR ME, THE TEETH VERSE IS ABOUT THINGS YOU THINK ARE PERMANENT WILL INEVITABLY ROT. THE THINGS YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED, THE THINGS YOU THINK YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE BETWEEN YOUR TEETH, ARE HELD IN PLACE NO BETTER THAN A ROPE SWING]

Questions rise, answers change
Love means more when feeling fades
It’s not a different door, just change of paint
The same ole tune with a different name

Be my wife, live a lie
Fill your need to please
Beginning things is scary enough
But ending us will break me

[THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN USING A “STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS” METHOD, SIMILAR TO ONE OF MY FIRST SONGS “TAKE CONTROL”. I FEEL LIKE I WAS GETTING MY FEARS OF AN AGING LOVE OFF MY CHEST. LOVE IS NOT A FEELING. LOVE IS DAYS, MONTHS, AND YEARS OF CHOICES.]

I’ll wait for you, so I’ll say
My legs they hurt and my hands feel strange
I’m growing up and so are you
But what if we grow apart?

[A REALIZATION I’VE HAD IS THAT BEING IN MY EARLY TWENTIES, LIKE MOST, THIS IS THE PEAK OF OUR HEALTH. I HAVE A PARANOIA OF DEVELOPING DIABETES OR CANCER. IF WE WAIT FOR US, WHAT IF DEATH DO US PART? MORE OFTEN THEN NOT, I FIND HUMOR IN ULTIMATUMS LIKE THIS — BUT THIS TIME IT REPRESENTED AN HONEST IRRATIONALITY I HOLD.]

Her favorite plant is a vine
She likes how they just intertwine
Choke like weeds just to drain the garden
A reason to start again

Give me hope and lend your perspective
Advise me how to lead
To lead this life, such an empty one
A tree without its leaves

When Winters gone, Spring is done
The Summer you’ll come back to me
The vines they kill, Her vines they kill
Your vines are killing me

[YOUR HEART, YOUR THOUGHTS.. IT’S ALL A GARDEN. YOU CAN’T CONTROL WHAT COMES IN. SOMETIMES WHAT COMES IN WILL BURN THE FOREST DOWN. IT’S A HORRIBLY REAL CYCLE.]

When Winters gone, Spring is done
The Summer you’ll come back to me

[THIS LAST LINE WAS ABOUT MY GIRLFRIEND’S SECOND SEMESTER. ONCE IT’S PAST, THIS COULD BE A PROMISE THEY’D COME BACK AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN, OR MAYBE IT’S A PLEA.]

The Summer you’ll come back
The Summer you’ll come back
The Summer you’ll come back to me

LYRICS
Willows rustle on a warm summer’s day
The pagoda fades away in the haze 
A bride poses, a smile on her face 
With lotus flowers on the lake

Tiny dragons on the edge of the roof
At the temple, I burn incense for you
A buddha laughs inside a cave
Near lotus flowers on the lake 

When their petals fall
I will be far away, like the lady in the moon
Part of me remains
Sipping Dragon Well tea this afternoon

Wooden boats leave as the sun slowly sets
Under pink skies, trees become silhouettes 
I say goodbye, to silver waves 
And lotus flowers on the lake

Lotus Flowers on the Lake

Candlelight

Get Away For A While

A dark bluesy number recorded years ago under a different project name “Father Stone & Mourning Son.”

Dred Fouglas: Guitar, Vox, Lyrics
Early Gancrowl: Harmony Vox, Mandolin, Super real rattlesnake noises


Lyrics:

A crooked moon has risen from your heart
Grinning through a midnight so unkind
I drag my heels down this sadly silent hill
alone to leave this crying soul behind

Gonna find me a graveyard
Gonna bury my head and rest 
‘neath a weathered tombstone unnamed
May the hell you gave me
limp back to your door
A huge hungry demon enraged

Do you hear me laughing, girl?
Laughing as I beg for death
Yeah, I know you’re moaning, girl
I can smell your sad harlot breath

Oh, soon you’ll miss me
Oh, soon you’ll miss me,
but I’ll be bones in the ground
