Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
 This is a song that Artur wrote in his unique, original, and signature surf rock style, and passed it on to Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  I asked Artur the meaning of the song's title, and he told me that it refers to the soulmate some people find, who can carry you through anything, even if you or they may be a little crazy. It's about crazy love!
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series

The One-Eclectic Collective

The title of this track is a reference to the wartime term "no quarter", which also means "take no prisoners". The 'blood' red flag is often used as a symbol of this horrible practice and, in fact, it is considered a war crime to refuse to spare the life of anybody - i.e. to refuse quarter. The term "No Quarter" prompted me to research the meaning, which is where the concept for the song title came from.

In the original 1999 version of this tune, the only instrument was the echo-y electric piano sound, which was influenced heavily by the song "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin. This is another tune I'd recommend listening to with headphones because of the heavy panning movement throughout. 

(special thanks to Chris [cgmaness] for the thoughtful perspective that reminded me of this incredible video, which speaks for itself. more like screams!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x7FGbW3IVc) 

Make music not war.

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.

Red Flag

Music: Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Lyrics & vocals: Janne Hennie

Wasted tears, for so many years
With degrading voices in my head

But i was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
I need to stop tearing myself down..

i am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend..

My old has to go, its time to grow
I will plant a budding voice inside me..

Cause i was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
i need to stop tearing myself down..

I am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend..

I was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
I need to stop tearing myself down..

I am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend..

Brighter days, a smile upon my face
That's what I'm going for from now on

Cause i was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
I need to stop tearing myself down..

I am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend....

Good Enough W/ Janne Hennie

First Pythyrsus song of this year with Mesmo :
https://soundcloud.com/mesmo1

-----------------------------------

La vacuité du sens
Sans raison d'être
Flirtant avec le suicide
Érémitisme hygiénique
Branlette et développement personnel
Durable au blé
Le sensationnel usé jusqu'au lien
Puis se tromper pour exister
Et sourire aux esclaves
Connecteurs en condiments
Car...
Le silence impossible
Sauf au social
Sauf à ton père
À ma barre à mine dans

Hecame - Pythyrsus

LYRICS

There was daylight pushing night time from my head
There was coffee that she'd made so strong next to my bed
And I wanna know every thing about you
Yeah I wanna know everything

She was standing in the hallway looking at the rain
She smiled as she said shall we meet again
"cos I wanna know all about you
Yeah I wanna know everything

I really want to know are you serious
Is there something in the future
For the two of us

Instrumental

I said everything's fine but lets just take some time
Its gotta be right
It's looking good, I knew that it would
I'd like to see you tonight
'Cos I wanna know everything about you
Yeah I wanna know everything

Outro

Pale Face Boy

Ooops, son of a gun
I was having fun
Well I stepped outside
Was met by the sun
Melted right down
Son of a gun
A Pale Face Boy
A hoy hoy hoy
He melts like butter
He is smoking his way 
Up out of the gutter
Playing a fool
Punk Rock & Roll
Oh oops, son of a gun

Ooops, son of a gun
I was cooked by the sun
Not for the money but 
Give me some more
Drinking down the night
A quarter to four
Pale Face Boy
Hoy, hoy, hoy
Pale Face Boy
Ha, ha, ha
Stepped outside
Son of a gun
He was melted like butter
To be is Not to be
Let it be right
There's no time for wrong
It's all closing in
The odds are stacked against you my friends
So make the best of what you've got right now
and kick it in the ass
I know you will somehow

Pale Face Boy

All tracks  are recorded in a spontaneous manner typically in a single take. Most lyrics are also spontaneous improvisations derived from the feelings of the moment. We let the guitar and drums interact and the music just happens. Most if not all of the music is inspired from this interaction.

The recording equipment up until January 2019 consisted of a dated Fostex 8 track and a few microphones...We simply lay down a guitar and drum track and let it unfold the way you are hearing it by bouncing tracks. We just have to make music to live. Music of any kind, music that speaks for itself... 

In January 2019 recording equipment was upgraded to Logic X and a UA Apollo MKll Quad Core Recording interface...We entered a new building and still trying to find the light switch so bare with us as we keep lighting matches...
