This song is a rollercoaster ride of emotions as a tribute song to my grandfather who inspired me to be a musician. A big shout out and thanks to J.J. Terrell for your wonderful piano and organ, and to Stephen for all the work you did on guitar and in the studio mixing and mastering this wonderful ballad. 
I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone on this track because I knew I would've regretted it if I didn't. Going through a bunch of my grandpa's stuff a few years ago, and I got his guitar as well as his hat. When I got home I wrote this song. Miss you Grandpa, and I hope that you somehow hear the song and are proud. 

Lyrics:
Verse
When I was a little kid I can't remember all I did
Another year another memory fades
I used to ride my bike to school banana seat no I wasn't cool
Parents split up didn't know where to stay
Chorus
In my darkest hour was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
woooh oh oh grandpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat
Verse
My teenage years were crazy I did some things that rearranged me
Looking back I'm lucky to be alive
Played door check with some cones prank calls on the phone
Gun in hand how did I survive
Chorus
In my darkest hour was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
wooooh oh oh granpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat
Verse
Now I got kids of my own, pretty soon they'll be grown
Mama's gonna cry the day they move away
You see time is moving fast, and we all are gonna pass
When my time comes I know I'll be ok
Chorus
In my darkest hours was a man with a super power
That saved my life at least I remember that
He taught me how to forgive, might've died but he still lives
Now I'm proud to wear my grandpa's hat
woooh oh oh grandpa's hat woooh oh oh grandpa's hat.

Grandpa's Hat-w/TexMex Shaman & J.J. Terrell

talkin' to the birds 'n talkin' to the bees
talkin' to the wind 'n talkin' thru the trees
talkin' all along, singin' a song

makin' up a rhyme, makin' up child
take a little trip, take a little dive
take it on down, take it on down, oh

take a little surprise, take a little run
take a little somethin' you have never done

talkin' to the sky 'n talkin' to the wind
talkin' to the higher 'n the higher it begins everything

take it all around, take it instead
take it in stride, take it in there
take it all around, live it all around ya

i don't see ya, i don't hear ya
when you're not ya, so just be ya

everybody takin' 'bout everything else
everything something better than that
can't be this, can't be that
must be something in between

take a big dive, take it in stride
if you learned wrong, you might be right
can't beat it, yo, yo

if you should fall, if you should fail
get a good thrill, tell a ta tale
take on as you go, take it on as you know

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

This track is a little nuts.....

If you've ever battled a raccoon, this is the song for you, sung from the perspective of the perpetrator. Raccoons are wily little buggers and more than a little guile is needed to control the movements of an animal that has been trapped in a cage before.

Debated with myself a bit on adding more instruments and sounds but in the end decided that less was more. The "rhythm guitar" is a distorted saturated synth and the "lead" is a Logic Pro Heavy Metal guitar manipulated with the pitch stick on my synth. The difficult part was getting the swing on the drums right and the ADSR right on the main synth, modulation and LFO. Also played a bit with the compression to get a breathing sound.

About the raccoon - that battle is ongoing - physical deterrence is now in place.

The raccoon, also spelled racoon and sometimes called the common raccoon or northern raccoon to distinguish it from the other species, is a mammal native to North America. It is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in), and a body weight of 5 to 26 kg (11 to 57 lb). Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur, which insulates it against cold weather. The animal's most distinctive features include its extremely dexterous front paws, its facial mask, and its ringed tail, which are common themes in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas surrounding the species. The raccoon is noted for its intelligence, and studies show that it is able to remember the solution to tasks for at least three years. It is usually nocturnal and omnivorous, eating about 40% invertebrates, 33% plants, and 27% vertebrates. [Wikipedia]

NEVER LOSE

Keep on coming back
Doesn’t really matter 
Spicy red American 
Coyote piss whatever

Turn up the volume
Tie up the bait 
Bag it all, close the door
I don’t give a damn

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know what’s down under
I know what you’re trying to hide

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

Keep on coming back
Never ever mattered
Inca mountain flake 
Apple cider try

Play rock’n’roll
Talk show or news
Heard it all before
Kinda like it now

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

Time is on my side
Time is my legal guardian

Find another way
Find your hidden weakness 
Seen you from above
You can try again
All over and again

Keep on coming back
Its never gonna matter
Flashing disco lights
I’ll do a pirouette

Put a ring on it
I’ll go left or right
I’m coming down
I got you number

I’ll never give up
I’ll never give up

I know where you live
I know when you’re asleep

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose
I never lose
I never lose
I never lose

Keep on
Keep on coming back
Keep on
Keep on coming back

It’s all mine
Day or night 
I don’t even care
Seen all the tricks
You can try again
All over again

I never lose

Never Lose

Lyrics:
Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Makes this old man think about his younger times

I hear that cart coming down the hallway
With those pills 
All lined up in a row
I see you moving to that Top 40 song
And where she takes me
You know I want to go

Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Make an old man dream about his Summertime

You wheel me to my physical rehabilitation
You make me feel exhilaration
The Doctors say:
"You need to keep your blood pressure down"
Down! Down! Down!
I hear that cart rolling down the hall
I see her moving and grooving
To a Top 40 song
When I see her my heart sings along
"wherever you take me, you know I want to go"

Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!
Make an old man think about his younger times
Nurse Felicia
You know that you messed up my mind!

Nurse Felicia

self reflection for the ego


Lyrics

Goodbye Ego

Why, on Earth do I fight you?
For I am inside you.
Why won't you climb out.
You know I can never hide from you

Is it your suffering as an entity
That clouds the real minds energy
Is it that you are fear,
Is it that you are pain
Have you got a voice
Does compassion always win?

Are you the seed of doubt that created my sin?
If that's your biggest shout I want no more of you then 

In front belief
Behind is your grief
You must create a thief that loves his own leech

Well then why on Earth do I fight uou?
For I am a soul and I'm inside you

If this be your way
Then love will release
Your egos dismay and your search for resonance

If this be your way
Then love will release
Your egos dismay and your search for resonance

So why on this Earth do I fight you
For I am a soul and I'm inside you

Stuck in the middle with you
What can I do
Stuck in the middle with you
What can I do
I'm a soul and I'm part of you

Thank you for visiting my profile!
Any comments are appreciated.
If you want to share or repost my tracks, please do. 

I enjoy listening to music shared by others here, often through the FEED. The people I follow therefore partly influence what I listen to. Many thanks to those who share music I love discovering! Unfortunately, I can't continue following people who flood my FEED with a daily stream of music I don't want to hear.
------
On most recordings you hear me play and sing on my own, but I also work together with other people.

The Razor Jane link leads to a collaboration with my friend Meindert Jansma

Silicone Kids was a band I played guitar in, in the early 90's.  The Silcone Kids profile holds a lot of old tracks and also some tracks that were recorded during a reunion rehearsal in 2021.
