Something butt kicking to kick-start a day or the year, in case you feel sleepy yet :D I can happily conclude, by looking into the amazing new works from you guys, you are wide awake! Even if some tracks here are soothing to the core, the good kick is guarantied! Enjoy!

The cover art is one of my fave Van Gogh Boot kickers. I took the photo in New York Metropolitan last year and added some kick remixing the colors! :D

Kick Starter (Repost Art)

Campers  

My parents were campers, we wandered around
We washed in the river and slept on the ground
With a kerosine lantern to see by at night 
And aluminum cups full of Crystal Delight

They’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it was not about nothing
It was more than a signature style

I gave him a hundred, which was all that I got
I fired her up and I drove off the lot
She was painted by hand, but tipping the scales
Was a sticker that showed my concern for the whales

She’s all gone forever after only awhile
To me she was not about nothing
She was more than a signature style

My mind is in order my soul is inspired
In robe and in sandals I’m simply attired
And I live in this place with these brothers of mine
Where we think, and we pray, and we fast all the time

Till we’re all gone forever after only awhile
To me it is not about nothing
It’s more than a signature style

Campers

Lyrics:
In the moisty heat of the night I measure the viscosity of time by applying group theory to the ice cubes in my glass of blood.
I want to sooth my aching synapses in the liquid sun of chaotic melodies and bath my eyes in the clouds of muffled harmonies. 
The marbled coalescence of the iridescent canopies drips with vibrating tentacles of abstruse sensations which insinuate themselves into the cortex of our vibratory emotions.
The mystical tentacles of devotion slither around my wrists and ankles war and delicately vibrating invading my thoughts with their glassy intuition.
I can summon ancient idols from the gulfs of time and abyssal tombs. And wrap my naked body in the moist lust of their gaze. I can invoke the runes of power and abstraction carved in the soapy stone of a lost asteroid. 
Last words of vanishing gods reverberate in the echoes of their glory while the whips of remorse tear up the petrified flesh of their deceived heralds.
The winged demons and the ragged angels will rejoice and kiss my aethereal feet. 
The tides will cover the sand of our imagination, green and everlasting and salty and cold.

Thank you, dear Oddrun for this unexpected joy.  You have added a lovely color to my "Sketch in Black and Gray". 
The image is a meeting in Blue. Harpa Reykjavik, Island.

We will float through the clouds
I look beyond me
And i see you there
The thought is real
So Complete
There is silence
A breath from the Wind
From a distance
I can see

Sketch In Blue. Oddrun Eikli and Debra Buesking

So happy to be able to share a new track made with the brilliant @debra_buesking

This Scottish inspired Celtic track gets it name from the opening words of a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins (posted below).  For those unaware, a burn is the Scottish/Northern English word for a small river.  The title also reminds me of the look and feel of  that other Scottish liquid Whiskey!  Have a wee dram while you listen.

Inversnaid

This darksome burn, horseback brown,
His rollrock highroad roaring down,
In coop and in comb the fleece of his foam
Flutes and low to the lake falls home.

A windpuff-bonnet of fáwn-fróth
Turns and twindles over the broth
Of a pool so pitchblack, féll-frówning,
It rounds and rounds Despair to drowning.

Degged with dew, dappled with dew
Are the groins of the braes that the brook treads through,
Wiry heathpacks, flitches of fern,
And the beadbonny ash that sits over the burn.

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

Darksome Burn (Philleann & Debra Buesking)

A few years back I made a track called ‘Dreamwerk’ and this piece takes some ideas from it and dresses itself up dubstep fashion.

Not one for strict genre compliance, it is almost accidental that I’ve made anything even close to dubstep.

Had a bit of a nightmare with the wobble bass and some timing issues with the midsection of the arrangement, but the rest fell together fairly easily.

This was purposefully made with as few bells and whistles as possible, so as not to overcomplicate the mix, giving (with any luck) a more raw yet humble result. Hope it doesn’t come across as lazy…

If this stirs your cauldron, then your ‘like’, comment and repost would be most welcome. Massive thanks in advance!

Well, I found another version of this song. Interesting to compare to the version I posted before. This version would have been recorded a little later when we lived in an apt together after college and played out as a duo a bit. If I remember right this is more of a live sound capture with little to no overdubs (?). We are both playing and singing here and the sound quality is a little better. Still on a Tascam cassette.  Just posting these for fun and I think sometimes it is interesting to hear different versions of a song recorded over time.

The human stood up and saw the horizon, a need for discovery and to see who could harm him...
Time passed and then one day appeared the big vertical cities which erased for millions of humans its horizon.
On September 11, the greatest verticals collapsed and the world changed, from lies to lies, the horizon did not return and it was even seriously darkened!
Will we see the dawn sun again, on a new day? hope...

L'humain s'est levé et a vu l'horizon, un besoin de découverte et de voir qui pourrait lui faire du mal...
Le temps a passé et puis un jour sont apparues les grandes villes verticales qui ont effacé pour des millions d'humains son horizon.
Le 11 septembre, les plus grandes verticales se sont effondrées et le monde a changé, de mensonges en mensonges, l'horizon n'est pas revenu et il s'est même sérieusement assombri !
Reverrons-nous le soleil de l'aube, un nouveau jour ? espoir...

Happy Monday my SC friends. Today I am supremely excited to offer you (the listener) my next collaborative creation of 2023; and for those keeping track at home, this is my 4th collab with the legendary (at least, in my mind) Stone Catcherye (https://soundcloud.com/stonecatcherye, https://stonecatcherye.bandcamp.com/). 

Stoney’s lyrics speak for themselves; but I gotta say, I am sharing the sentiment. We hope you enjoy our latest collab, ‘Scintilla’ (and we hope you have some bell bottoms lying around… cuz this is not a drill). :D

Lyrics:

there's a small piece inside of me
defenselessness be thy name
it's a party where nothing's free
who would care to explain

dark. all it takes is a spark
a trace of love in your heart
are you brilliant or just smart
then dig down deeper

there's a small piece inside of me
that's shown interest to scream
it's a riot inside of me
and my brain's the police
in contempt and unbendingly
I surrender, it seems

dark. all it takes is a spark
a trace of love in your heart
are you brilliant or just smart
then dig down deeper

heart. need to get back my spark
get in the state of the art
not let this peel me apart
and dig down deeper

if I dig deep enough,
maybe I'll bury me...

heart. need to get back my spark
get in the state of the art
not let this peel me apart
and dig down deeper

dark. all it takes is a spark
a trace of love in your heart
are you just brilliant or smart
then dig down deeper

if I dig deep enough maybe I'll plant a seed
put in all that I have just to feel that in green
if I care for this deep, it will grow to a tree
and I'll save all it's sap and pick up all of it's leaves

F.W. Friends

MOOVEMENT OF THE SEA 2023

Well I could not resist having a sing along to this classic Black Sabbath song "War Pigs" and have to say the job my good friend Hiroshi as done on the music to this, is a damn sight better than the justice I could ever give to it with my voice, that's for sure. Though what the heck I love the song and here it is :))))))))))

I would like to thank my good friend Hiroshi for giving me the opportunity to have a blast on this classic, and he has no doubt certainly done a superb job with his guitars and the rest on this one, even to getting it sound like Sabbath themselves.

One more thing. I would like to thank you all for your wonderful support over the years here on SC and wish you all a very Happy New Year for 2016.

The song as been made available as a free digital download @ Bandcamp and can be had here : https://leelucas.bandcamp.com/track/war-pigs

War Pigs (Words & Music By Black Sabbath)

Lee Lucas - Vocals & Artwork.
Aerogene070 - Guitars - Bass - Drums - Production.

The lyrics are as follows:

Generals gathered in their masses, 
Just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction, 
Sorcerer of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning, 
As the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind, 
Poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord yeah! 

Politicians hide themselves away, 
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight, 
They leave that role to the poor.*

Yeah! 

Time will tell on their power mind, **
Making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess, 
Wait till their judgement day comes.

Yeah! 

Now in darkness world stops turning, 
Ashes where the bodies burning.
No more war pigs have the power, 
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement God is calling, 
On their knees the war pig's crawling.
Begging mercy for their sins, 
Satan laughing spreads his wings.

Oh lord yeah!

Please find time to leave comments, to which all are very well appreciated and many thanks for listening.
