Live with all of the pain I've caused
Tattooed permanently on my mind
See what goodness is left behind
I could be a find
Could be yours

Ridicule me I'm a laughing stock
Punish me for all my obvious crimes
We always have the very best of times
Well in my eyes
We're like rock

I swear that I'd give my life for you
Left my heart open on a page
Wait for you till I'm an old age
This is our stage
I'm for you

This chant is for over thinkers
These words are confused and wet with tears
Constantly challenging my own fears
And it appears truth lingers

Chant For The Over Thinkers

This one started as a collaboration with Cosmic Keanu, but evolved to include my good friend Chris (cgmaness). Keanu gave me the baadass riddim, and Chris added the high vocals and the mix. I played bass, guitar, organ, and slide. I also sung the low melody. this was a true collaborative effort for one of my favorite Radiohead songs. We hope you enjoy it.

Culture Shock

not going 2 c u

A relaxing and reflective piece, reminding us of the ebbs and flows, the ups and downs, the light and the darkness it often takes to create the most amazing, most appreciated, life.

We caution listeners to not drive or operate machinery while listening to our music done in a HZ unlike what most radio stations play... and to listen through headphones at a lower volume than you normally listen to most of your music, for optimum effect.

No. 14 // PLUTO WANTS TO PLAY

............ based on acoustic guitar, lot of EWI solos - all my own stuff :-)
Measured against all the work, it's nothing special - but maybe useful for daily use :-D Of course, I've listened to it so often now that I almost don't like it any more, but no wonder - some pieces can really get you down, like driving a car in a traffic jam every day. So take it easy ! ... photo: ahundt on pixabay

Old man screams at the world again – as best he can....

This war in Ukraine – it's different.  The ongoing butchery being inflicted by Putin (Satan's emissary from hell) is not just upon Ukraine, but deliberately upon his own people, for his own aggrandisement.

Our protagonists in this brief prayer / lament are a couple of young men.  Young Russians. Conscripts.  Last week they were at home, now they are incarcerated in an ancient soviet-era tank that has just been hit by a drone-dropped grenade.  They are trapped, wounded, burning horribly and about to meet their maker when the ammunition magazine, upon which they sit, goes up....rendering them vapourised.  ..... Stardust. 

They know this full well, 
….in their slow-mo, Putin-inflicted hell.

And you and I watch, enthralled.  YouTube is awash with video clips of Russians being hit by drones, missiles or artillery - in tanks, aircraft, or trenches - it's become a form of voyeuristic entertainment - somehow neatly detached from the horror of the reality.  How convenient.  How antiseptic.

We may take as a given that Putin is a deranged, and/or deluded evil war criminal. He knows what he does, and why.  But I suspect that many of those he is sending to their grim end are innocent young guys who have been fed a diet of lies from birth whilst the money was thieved from their pockets and the bread from their mouths by the despot-favoured oligarchs.  These kids have no interest in war or restoration of the USSR.  They were most likely frogmarched to the conscription office by KGB thugs, given a moth eaten old uniform and stuffed into their steel coffins.  

This is no “pity poor Russia” rant;  perpetrating a heinous wave of war crimes we have freed prisoners, hardened veterans and Wagner mercenaries in the mix too.  I'm focused on the others.  The passives, the bewildered, the lambs.  

Lord only knows what murderous pain these cannon fodder "innocents" suffer while the world watches indifferently, mouths agape, dehumanised on YouTube, with reminders to “subscribe” and “like” - dear God.

We're used to war correspondents - but this is on another level - seeking "hits" of another kind to pump ad revenues and subscriber numbers.  Front line hideous death as a macabre circus, a fun spectator sport, theme park fun fair ride - Call of Duty meets reality with money attached.... It's sick.  How long before “big game hunters” pay big bucks for the privileged thrill of hitting the “release” button on those grenades and joyfully watching their prey squirm?  Probably already happening.

God bless the peace loving people of Ukraine;  may the entirety of their lands be restored to them and democratic moral justice served.

God bless the peace loving people of Russia;  may the lunatic yoke of satan be removed from them, and democratic moral justice served.

This is live, one take, one track, one mic and painful listening as my voice is shot for some reason – but as such, it carries the pain and shame of what we, the human race, have become.

Lord hear our prayer.

Thank you for your patience in the presence of a screaming old man.

Stardust

Roll on up, for my carousel.
Bitcoin bucks, got souls to sell.
Place your bets on this human race.
Dead heat face to face.

Our mothers' rosaries can't defend
With timeless prayers they kneel to send
We brothers, whose bones they rend
Back to stardust once again.

Home run hit, on my ghost train ride.
Camo drones dripping cyanide.
Killing tribe bowls another strike
Hit subscribe, don't forget to “like”.

Forget our Patriarch's portend,
Hold these burning hands my friend,
This screaming hell will surely end
And we'll be stardust once again.
