a total JJ Cale boogie feel here Antony; the heavy chorus on the guitar is perfect for the loopy vibe and trickster subject

Very cohesive and laid-back performance, Antony. Fun to listen to. Wishing you a lovely Christmas season! 🎶❤️🎶

A timely and taut bluesy cover.  All instruments so well arranged, bravo Antony!

a great cover song, sending you my warmest wishes for the Seasons....

I don't know the song... but I do know you have brought it to colorful life. And from this player, as an aside, fabulous guitars everywhere. Yes, the news... sometimes we must meet it with music.

Damn, Antony, this is well arranged/produced/performed.

solid performance burn.it.smith, real nice chugging and clean blues guitars throughout and excellent harmonica, love your vocal performance as well, you are full of originality and character and talent my friend!

Seguir viviendo sin tu amor

Si a tu corazón yo llego igual
Todo siempre se podrá elegir
No me escribas la pared
Solo quiero estar entre tu piel
Y si acaso no brillara el sol
Y quedara yo atrapado aquí
No vería la razón
En seguir viviendo sin tu amor
Y hoy que enloquecido vuelvo
Buscando tu querer
No queda más que viento, uh
No queda más que viento
Y si acaso no brillara el sol
Y quedara yo atrapado aquí, oh
No vería la razón
De seguir viviendo sin tu amor, oh-oh-oh
Y hoy que enloquecido vuelvo
Buscando tu querer, ah
No queda más que viento, no
No queda más que viento
Y si acaso no brillara el sol
Y quedara yo atrapado aquí
No vería la razón
De seguir viviendo sin tu amor

C-Infinite Weekend

ALL THE WAY Blues

Just messin around on a snowy sunday. Why not write a song about red trucks and their owners. I think chicks dig red trucks.. probly. 

I have some other new ones Id really like to record but Im way out of shape right now as I haven't played since the summer.

I like my eggs over easy and I cook em in lard
I got big strong muscles cuz a work real hard
I got me a 4 wheel ATV that I keep in the yard
I keep it in the yard
Its out in the yard
and if you mess with me or mine 
yer gonna git ded

My Truck is Red.. yep

I dont go down south cuz its too damn hot
I put mustard on my brat cuz I like it a lot
I hope you like PBR cuz thats all I got
Thats all I got
its the only kind I got
And if you trespass on my 40
 yer  gonna git ded 
My truck is red....

Now in this mean old world you gotta toe the line
Whats yours is yours and whats mine is mine
you got to mind your own affairs cuz there just aint time
There aint any time
I got no time
And if you look at my wifes butt 
yer gunna git ded
My truck is red....



My Truck is Red

Carl came up with this song at the beginning of November on his acoustic guitar, and shared it with the rest of us shortly after. Carl is a songwriting supernova, in case you're unfamiliar with our newest addition to the team. We're always excited and grateful to get to work on his music. 
  Mark was first to add his parts, although he tweaked them throughout the process. His work can be heard in the dramatic string arrangement and mellotron at the crescendo. Josh was next to jump in, adding his new upright bass to the song. He played not only the plucked part, but the bowed part in the strings section, too. Ken came along next with his perfect drums to complete the rhythm section. JJ wanted in on this, too, so he added the foundational piano you hear throughout. Last, but not least, Stephen dropped in his electrifying guitar solo and the accompanying e-bow texture parts you hear toward the end. 
  Once it was all in the bag, we asked Tez to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This is our latest song of which Carl is the author. He's been making music with us for the past half a year now, and we can't get enough of his abundant creativity. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Leave Out The Names - The Eclectic Collective

As of today, it's been exactly ten years since I first started a co-writing partnership with my friend Liam, and today we finished our latest composition. The composition is named in honor of the free software Finale Notepad, which Liam and I used to use for all of our co-writing. Finale's being phased out, perhaps due to the popularity of Musescore. We wrote this one in Finale, like in the old days, as a farewell to the software we got started with.

Written by exchanging a file by email, with each of us writing eight measures at a time. Hope you enjoy!

Also, Carl had this to say about his lyrics, "Labels and putting each other in a particular box is causing big problems on the planet. The song's meaning is born from trying to take labels out of our lessons. In a polarized world, the song pines how we will likely learn lessons properly if we leave ego out of what we are trying to learn. Maybe our art has more relevance for future generations if we do that instead of bolting it to the current people or ideas causing us problems."
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Let's play cards
You lying runt
Word poker perfect
A joker to hunt
Motor makeup mouth
Dadless brain itched
Our sith can shout
Cycle of old child bewitched

Leave out the names
Remove their power
Lessons find refrain
Fake turned to flower

All liars die
'As honest tongue
Dinnseanchas signs our true right and wrong
Transmutation
Time understood
Truth trump card for hate
More blossomed love

Leave out the names
Teach tomorrow's hour
Lessons find refrain
Pure honest power

Lies from power
Carry hidden agenda
Justice can save us from these malady members
Unless they break our sacred norms
They've changed the game with iron fisted porn

Leave out the names
Control our stream
Lessons mute ego
Brutes turn to dream

The system protects us from crazy one
One system collective
Agreement by sum
Normals described
Standards of power
Transmutation of evil
Never named gives real flower

Let's label our love
Let's teach that today
Let lessons of dove
Show us our way

Leave out the names
Remove their power
Lessons find refrain
Fake turned to flower

Leave out the names
Teach tomorrow hour
Lessons find refrain
Pure honest power

Leave Out the Names (Eclectic Collective)

'Best song ever writ'  I was told,   though Mr Hardin wrote quite a few fabulous ones. Smugglin Man was always a favourite though,  both simple and true.  Never recorded it, possibly the newsprint below changed that.

'The U.S. has seized survivors after a strike Thursday on a suspected drug-carrying vessel in the Caribbean, the first since President Donald Trump began launching deadly attacks in the region this summer, a defense official and another person familiar with the matter said Friday.'

Smugglin Man (Tim Hardin)

This is a song written right after the Haiti Earthquake in 2010. Knowing that my son was headed there to assist in the aid and rescue I stayed up much of the night doing research on where he was headed. His accounts to me were helpful in finalizing the song. Particularly about the corruption that bled into the rescue efforts and the logistics of it. Much had to go through a sort of gangster hierarchy. I also lived with a Haitian refugee back in the late 70's and heard much from him. I'm sure, like any historical account there is some distortion but it was written honestly and in concern for the people there and of course my son and his companions. Take it for what it is. My simple folk ballad as I saw it then.

Lyrics :

They came down to the shores
and they welcomed their masters
and they dug up their gold
in the yoke of the frenchmen who couldn’t care less for the life
of the beautiful island

and for two hundred years
generations of slaves
fought to break all the chains
whose weight was far far too great for foundations so weak
on the beautiful Island

and the struggle began to throw off their burden
an unbearable weight too much for a woman or man
let alone little children

when freedom was won
and the plunder was transferred
to Jean Jacques the black ruler
who's fever for gold was burning far too high
for the beautiful island

and the shackles were cut
and all the gold braided
but they made epaulette
for the shoulders of tyrants who’s weight was far too much
for the beautiful island

they say the best kind of slave is the one who don’t know it
an unlivable life too much for a woman or man
let alone little children

and charity rained
and soaked into the mountains
and added its weight
to the coffers of rulers who’s greed was far great
for the beautiful island

and they cried by the shores
for the lives that were buried
with a ton of misfortune
on the backs of the ones who could no longer hold up the weight
of the beautiful island

is it justice that shook down the walls of the prisons
are the cries at the shore finally to be heard
can such a great weight be lifted from women and men
let alone little children

Beautiful Island  ( song for Haiti )

Piano player, singer,  righteous upright bass & concatenator of disparate factors.

Smugglin Man (Tim Hardin)
