Good morning all you wonderful music loving people. And what a beautiful Monday morning it is; made all the better by this enticing new track Clive (https://soundcloud.com/winkandwoo, https://audius.co/winkandw00) and I just finished. It’s our first collaborative effort; and the results are spectacular, if I do say so myself.

As to the backdrop for this piece... it feels surreal, traversing this world of sleepers, lost in their own self-created daydreams and nightmares. It’s a bizarre balancing act, wanting to play a helpful part in this underground movement of consciousness and unconditional love, while also trying to accept that there are many who simply don’t want to wake up from this troubling dream. But in the end, our fate will be shared across the entire planet. And the full range of choices must be recognized and honored, for this grand adventure to play out to its fullest potential.

The old saying ‘It is always darkest before the dawn’ seems like an apt concept to focus on these days. And it’s helpful to remember, great beauty can still arise from the murkiest of waters and most inhospitable of soils. Times might seem dark right now, and we are most definitely heading toward some unprecedented troubling chapters. But it is still just a story; the human story. And we all get to chose our roles, and play our parts. I’m personally quite fond of the ‘kindness and compassion’ approach myself. But there are as many roles to play as there are humans on this planet; so choose wisely, and follow your bliss. In the end, that might be all that matters. 

Clive and I hope you enjoy our first collaborative effort, ’Stay Asleep’. :)

No one knows who wrote the nursery rhyme London's Burning. Was it about The Great Fire of London in 1666, did they have fire engine in those days, who knows? (Maybe Joe Strummer).

A big thank you to Jonathan who played both acoustic & electric and did the mixing. He is such a talent!

London’s burning
Fetch the engine pour on water
London’s burning
I tell ya what I think we oughta
Push that fan up to full throttle 
Fill up all our water bottles 
Think that we are in big trouble
Again 
 
London’s burning
Burning here on Friday Street
London’s burning
Listen to the angry heat
Thomas Faryner’s not to blame
It did not start in Pudding Lane
It’s driving cars and aeroplanes
It’s insane 

London’s burning
People jumping off the bridges 
London’s burning
Some are climbing into fridges
I smell smoke
It gets your throat
And it’s no joke

Lyrics:

Jesus’ little sister her name is Rita
she’s warm and bright and full of life
she’s a fine mamacita
we hardly ever see her
a maitre d’ at Papacitas 
working her way through junior college
For a degree in engineering

Oh Rita, we hardly ever see you
won’t you take some time to free your mind
Rita, don’t become a stranger
your physics and your mathematics
are all that you can see

Jesus is her hero
played CFL football
was in a mariachi band 
now he’s a rep for Guitar Hero

She moves like Shakira
likes Kinky and Weezer
She laughs every time 
the DJ plays the Macarena

Oh Rita, we hardly ever see you
won’t you take some time to free your mind
Rita, don’t become a stranger
your physics and your mathematics 
are all that you can see

Won’t you come over tonight
Rita please!
Won’t you come over tonight

Happy 2023 everyone. I hope your year is starting off positive, creative and brimming with potentiality. Mine has definitely begun on a high note, getting to collab with our dear friend Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com/). And after a full year of music lessons with this kind and generous soul, I’m finally feeling quite good about my music theory and piano skills (knowing full well, this is just me happily floating on the tip of the proverbial music theory/musical instrument iceberg). :)

This one in particular (for those of you who might be interested in the specifics) started with Carlos providing an impressively wild drum track, and a warm, rich bass track playing Ostinato in E (I wasn’t familiar with that term at first. But it means playing a singular note rhythm as a foundation for the rest of the song). From there, E Aeolian (or Natural Minor) felt like it provided the nicest fit to Carlos’s stems. I was able to play out many of the melodies you hear in this song with just a few takes, and very minor MIDI note adjustments after the fact. That is exciting beyond words.

So without further delay, I joyfully offer you my first collab of 2023 with one of the coolest folks you’ll find in this grand music community. Carlos and I hope you enjoy ‘The Nine Sentinels of Aeolis’. :)

The Nine Sentinels Of Aeolis | Carlos Vivanco & GrevusAnjl

This song is actually one long outro.... at least that's how it began.

So I said
Give me your sorrow
It is a beauty
That I want
And though it makes you fail
And asks for everything
I'll only tend it lovingly

oooh oooh ooooh 
oooh oooh ooooh

And with your smile
A tender twilight dawn
Step in the past
With hands to make
As we're returning
Give me your sorrow
There is a beuuty I will make

oooh oooh oooh 
oooh oooh oooh

So I said Give me your sorrow
I'll only tend it lovingly
As we're returning
Give me your sorrow
There is a beauty I will make.

Give Me Your Sorrow

Buy me if you love me

We'd already begun composing and finalized production on this piece, when we drove past a sight that may trigger some; but, we feel gave us a message of the tenderness of life; and how quickly it can be gone. It perfectly suits the reason we created this song... to help those who may need a little Motivation to stop procrastinating. Some fear anything and everything; so, they continue to enroll in class after class, mentoring webinars and zooms, etc. one after another or stacking them simultaneously... not realizing... all of those are often an avoidance pattern from "taking the chance" of simply "putting ourselves 'out there'!" 

The sight we happened to drive past (trigger warning) was that of a deer that was evidently killed when a tree randomly came crashing down, in the mountainous woods along a highway, we drove along. This was very near where we ourselves had a tree that crashed onto the roadway literally four feet in front of our moving vehicle, back in 2014... that we were grateful came down exactly when it did... causing only around $8,000 worth of damage to our newly purchased vehicle, rather than killing us. People were calling us, back then, to see if we were okay and apologizing; but, we were explaining we were very BLESSED and Divinely protected (again) because a few seconds difference would have led us to have had the same fate... as this deer, who's time on earth had ended. 

Though this sight pierced our soul with such profound sadness; because of the spiritual significance of deer to our family, we knew this was a message we were to share, along with this song... Motivation. All things happen in Divine timing, for those who believe in the concept of Oneness. Not one thing or experience happens that doesn't in some way, shape, or form affect and ultimately effect another... for we are all one energy. It's up to us to BE or have the Motivation to stop BE-lieving we are "less than" or "not enough" or "ill-prepared," etc. We need to stop giving heed to the voices of those who had chosen or continue to choose to "confine their minds and their lives" to the limited 3D, archaic, patriarchal, control-mindset of the who, what, when, where, how, why, and to what extent we can, should, could, or would do things or BE... when we can see and feel the depths of how incorrect those concepts were and how detrimental they have been to our health, our families, our lives, and the lives of everything on this planet... at least they can be clearly seen and felt by those with open minds, hearts, souls, and body interconnectedness and Oneness.
