With Love for My Family and our amazing Young Adult Children.....May their Road continue to offer them a wondrous Journey through Life, filled with love, good health, adventure, and joy. This Tune re-created in my own way, featuring a favorite song from the Genius Vault of Yusuf Cat Stevens. Intended with all due respect in EcoustaTronic - a cleaner-Electric and Acoustic variation of AcoustaTronic Production - via RiffWerx Records in My Little Home Recording Workshop. All instruments, vocals, production by Riff Beach.
On The Road To Find Out - Yusuf Cat Stevens
Well, I left my happy home, to see what I could find out
I left my Folk and Friends with the aim to clear my mind out
Well, I hit the rowdy road, and many kinds I met there
And many stories told me on the way to get there 
(Chorus)
So, on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out 
So, much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh (throughout)
But in the end I'll know, but on the way I wonder
Through descending snow, and through the frost and thunder
Well, I listen to the wind come howl, telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song, saying not to worry
(Chorus…..and then instrumental)
Well I found myself alone, hoping someone would miss me
Thinking about my home and the last woman to kiss me
Well sometimes you have to moan, when nothing seems to suit ya’
But nevertheless you know, you're locked towards the future
And I found my head one day, when I wasn't even trying
And here I have to say, ‘cause there is no use in lying
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin…..Pickup, pickup a good book now
Yes the answer lies within, so why not take a look now?
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup the good book now
(Slower) Yes the an-swer lies with-in, so why not take a look now
Kick out the devil’s sin……Pickup, pickup The Good Book now

On The Road To Find Out - Version

The Dawn of the Mystics: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

“The return of the mystics for the awakening of human consciousness”.

“Even times of oppression are worthy of respect, for they are the work, not of men, but of humanity, and therefore of creative nature, which can be harsh, but is never absurd. If the times we live in are harsh, we have the duty to love it even more, to penetrate it with our love, until we have removed the enormous mountains that hide the light beyond them”. (Walter Rathenau)

The Dawn of the Mystics

This is an original country song that speaks to those that are far from their loved one, unable to be with them but imagining if only...they could be together. Longing for the time when they can be with each other once again.

We are very happy to once again have the wonderful pedal steel talents of Dakota Holden contribute so beautifully to this track.

Lyrics: "If You Were Here" by Daniels & Durgy

The sun came up, despite the clouds, It was enough, despite the doubts 
To thank the Lord, for one more day, To feel the freedom come my way

And wonder where you are and how, You’re doing at this moment now
To let my heart let go of fear, Imagining if you were here

If you were here, If you were here
All these dreams that we both have would become real,
I would hold onto forever, stop the hands of time together
Kiss you gently as the world disappears…If you, if you were here..

The smile on which, I so rely, A warmth so rich, I can’t deny
The touch that penetrates my soul, How much the distance takes its toll

But I take comfort in the past, That memories are not the last
That time will only make more clear, Just what would be if you were here

(chorus)

If you were here could I contain, The need for you, like sun and rain
Like wind that parts the maple leaves, As waves breathe life into the seas

If you were here there is no doubt, I’d lay a finger on your mouth
And show you as I held you near, What I would do if you were here 

I loved you then, I love you still, There is a void no one can fill, 
The only one, is always you, And no else will ever do.  
It's always been you, always will, Be you and me, forever till
The sun & stars do not appear, To light up like, if you were here

(chorus)

If You Were Here

A first impression is always important. Is it really? Take your time to get to know someone. Always keep your mind open like your arms because you never know which opportunities could be there waiting for you and you let them slip away rushing in conclusions that might not be right. But always careful!

Lyrics:

Here, take my hand my friend
Guide me to my end, walk me through the 
Fine waning years I’ve been sent.
Open up my heart, fill me with your thought,
Never to forget what you’ve brought.

And from the brilliance of the light I can barely see
You send your quiet poetry,
And from the echo of impossible melody
You send your song to fill me. Oh…

Love, endlessly it grows,
Luminous it shows,
Clearing our way through the shadows and fear,
Feeling that you’re here,
Hoping you’ll appear,
Knowing that your presence is near.

And from the peace within the light that we’re trying to see,
You send your calming poetry.
And through the whisper of your infinite symphony
You send your song of healing. Oh…

Here, open up our hearts, fill us with your thoughts,
Help us to recall what you’ve taught.
Show your love, how endlessly it grows,
How luminous it shows,
Brilliantly blasting the shadows,
And love, endlessly it grows,
Luminous it shows,
Forever swallowing shadows
And love endlessly it grows,
Luminous it shows,
Forever, luminous, luminous love.

Luminous

Love is All

Love is everything you need.

Love is more than what you feel
Love can strengthen even heal

Love will make you crawl
Tear down every wall

Love's the only thing that's real

Love burns hotter than the sun
Been around since time's begun

Love has raised the tide
Traversed oceans wide

Love brings hope to everyone

A solemn holy light
glowing softly in the night

Helping us to find our way
through each uncertain day

Love's

a simple modest dream
in one overarching theme

Just a focused laser beam
from a single conscience stream

Love has everything you need
It's out there for you to see

It's a gift for all mankind
Deep within your heart to find

Trust that love will come along
Write your very own love song

Find the one who owns your heart
It's the only way to start

Then be patient and be kind
You'll be glad you took your time

Love is all

I finally found the one
She's become my morning sun

Brightens each and every day
showing me my only way

The life she's made with me
I can't describe fully

It all started so simply
from a crazy fantasy

Love has changed my life you see
without her I'd never be

She's become my everything
given voice to all I sing

I'm enveloped in her light
I thank God she came in sight

And for now this final thought
Love won't bargain Can't be bought

Once you sacrifice it all
you will answer true loves call

Love is all

Love is All

BURDEN#999

Are we all guilty of contributing to global pollution?

Lyrics
Guilty, a crime we  all commit, without thinking  
Poison, the sea, the land, our selves, nowhere to hide

Guilty, as charged, I know I played  my  part 

Throw away, don't do it
Throw away
Throw away, don't do it
Throw away
Don't do it

Drifting, shadows lost and cold, trapped in a  heart of 
Poison, the waves pass round and round, nowhere to hide

Guilty as Charged

She was looking for that special someone, he was looking for a cheap night of fun.
That’s how they ended up together at the Dew Drop Inn.
A roll of quarters, a jukebox, and a bottle of gin.
He played all the songs by Blake, Luke and Brad. 
She sang along, and she was singing, oh, so bad.
He didn’t care how bad she sang, he kept her drinking till dawn.
A cheap motel, a rendezvous, and her soldier was gone.

Two months later, she’s thinking,”What can I do?”
“He’s been deployed, I’m sitting here, red, white and due.”
Can’t tell her daddy, he would hold her to blame.
She’s not sure she can remember his name.
Lost and alone, crying in the park, she has no clue.
No cash, no hope, just red, white and due.

INSTRUMENTAL

Her daddy took it hard, he kicked her out the door.	   	
“Get out and stay out, and don't come back no more!”
“You’re gonna ruin my reputation, and slander my good name.”
“Another drain with no last name, it’s always the same.”
Eight months later, she’s got her back to the  wall.
She’s feeling hopeless, no one seems to care at all.
 Can’t tell her daddy, he would hold her to blame.
She’s not sure she can remember his name.
Lost and alone, crying in the park, she has no clue.
No cash, no hope, just red, white and due.



Red, White and Due

A dark and epic Middle Eastern composition driven by thunderous drums, eerie synths, and haunting non-lyrical female vocals. Ethnic strings, led by the expressive kemence, weave through layers of tense percussion and brooding atmospheres.

HE NEVER GOT A FAIR SHAKE			
NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED			
NEVER GOT A BRAKE			
ALWAYS WANDERIN' WHY			
			
NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOIN' ON			
HE NEVER CAME OUT ON TOP			
WHAT DID HE DO WRONG			
HAD WORKED NONSTOP			
			
(CHORUS)			
HIS GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID			
JUST KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ALLWAYS DO WHAT'S RIGHT			
KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON			
ANGEL'S ARE ALMOST IN SIGHT			
			
HE DIDN'T LET IT GET HIM DOWN 			
DID THE BEST THAT HE COULD DO			
RUNNIN' FOR THAT TOUCHDOWN			
CAUSE HIS TIME WAS OVERDUE			
			
HIS LIFE WAS FILLED WITH STRIFE			
NEVER STOPPED DREANIN'			
WANTED THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE			
NEVER STOPPED TRYIN'			
			
(REPEAT CHORUS)			
			
NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT			
ANGEL'S ARE ALMOST IN SIGHT

Keep On Keepin' On - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Chuck Aaron - New Original

Minstrel Singer meets Male Chorale



My relentless pursuit of the song.



I'm just a blue collar lug trying to scratch an itch 

Thanks for listening.

Pete Ham(Bad Finger) wrote a song called "Without You". It was a nice song but nothing special. That is until Harry Nilsson got a hold of it and created one of the greatest songs ever written. 

I love music for the creativity of it all.

Love is All
