Great title. I am big fan of critical thinking. God and the Bible encourages me to think deeply about all things not to mention music! Excellent climbing progression that reminds me of trials and errors, the travails of human history as we strive to obtain the perfection of the marriage between the carnal nature and the Spiritually eternal good.

Great progression in chorus, fantastic solo, amazing production. Great job, my frind :)

Best of Brian Butts

The Golden Age

faced with the rays of heaven
you'll see everything is how it's meant to be
so let that supposition result in dancing
and the sound arising as you feel the need

quiet harbingers have walked the path alone 
and left behind their guidance in the marking stones
there is substance to these dreams of Avalon
I know you feel it in your bones

messages of love by satellite the anthem of the final days
we gather in the starless night in the last of the golden age

the heavy burdens of this life 
can make us selfish and blind
I see you there and I know
you are honest and kind

there is no weapon that will prevail against us
as we  stand our ground in the final days
you must remember love is relentless
here in the golden age 

trust that your heart will fill with joy 

it's still so early in the spring
on the spectrum of life 
more subtle is the journey as we arrive
no more hiding in half light

will you be there in the light of love

Firstly a big thanks to Shane of Harmful If Swallowed for agreeing to do do this male duet. It’s a first for me and probably for him, so a very interesting concept. It’s been a song that’s been hanging around a while just waiting for the right type of vocalist to agree. I am a great admirer of Shane’s work because of his fine lyrics and interpretations of real life. 
The song Elephant In The Room was wrote over five years ago with my son Owen  who would of been around 18 at the time. He had got into playing guitar and dabbling in song writing so my role was helping him with melody and lyrics. 
It’s a song I always thought had great potential and as I wasn’t that active in music myself at the time only a raw acoustic version existed.
This version is what we used as a sketch and Noobly transformed it into a full blown production. Seriously Noobly is a real talent and absolute pleasure to work with so respect to him.
There as been slight lyric changes but the melody is the same.
The song is about to close friends sitting in one of their living rooms in silence. There is an elephant in the room for both of them because a serious matter is not being discussed and neither of them are opening the conversation. The one  as done something really bad to the other so use your imagination.
The conversation is only happening inside their heads so hence a male duet of thoughts.
Hope you enjoy the song as much as we did creating it.

AMERICA - Claude McKay 1921
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

We’re praying for peace
Never losing hope
My faith I keep very close
Dancin out my grave
Seen a Holy Ghost
Yeah I’m on some drugs
But there not even close
See what I use to do is get really high
Then drink enough so I would black out and die
Thought the universe needed me
Well maybe she does
Are you seeing things different like I was
Love can fuck you up
And I can promise you that
There’s never enough
Nope I don’t have the answers
That’s exactly why I keep on dancing.

praying for peace w/ a Sandman07 intro

I wanna go
To the heart of it
I wanna know
If it’s counterfeit
I wanna move
So tired of standing still
I wanna groove
You know it’s still a thrill 
I get along
With the other kids
It’s what the teacher said
Way back in second grade
I get along…
I get along…
Solo

You know it’s tough
To keep your head up high
It can be rough
Sometimes you need to  cry

Treat me nice
And I’ll reciprocate 
You got a vice?
Yeah I’ll participate 
Let’s get along
Let’s enjoy the ride
We’ll sing a song
And keep it amplified
I get along...

To the bridge 
Took a walk to a higher place
Felt the sun shine on my face
Spent the night camped out alone
I did it right, faced it on my own
Waited for a revelation
A little drop of inspiration 
Wrote some words down for this song
Made a promise to myself to get along….

I Get Along

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...

Track from two summers ago - stuck it in the closet.

There's A Spot in My Closet (For You)

Merry-go-round

This is the instrumental version of the song 'Authenticity'. I think it's a good template for a new remix. Therefore I make it available as an open collab offer.

If you want to remix and publish it, please tell me, mention me in the description and in the title. The title name and cover picture can of course also be changed.

Tin Woman
I feel my age these days
bones creaking
the need to be well-oiled
like some kind of
tin woman
all rusted
my metal parts
need refurbishing
then I could
have a new body
without dying
Be all bionic
and built like
a brickhouse again.
