Lyrics
(Verse1)
Smoke A Spliff
None go hard as me, 
spirit lift, share with me
That’s the gift —-and hip-hop’s free
————-Now, level up 
ten degrees—-periscope on target
Light it up, where it grows,
attraction like a magnet
High tide —using Sonar——
——See they know——- we gotta have it
She’s always playing hard to get
Always saying no not yet
Tides have changed ——- 
Sees me as her new outlet
Annihilate the boredom (Echo)
eliminate the threat 
me and Mary, Tight-knit
Hand in glove a perfect fit
She goes hard—-how can I quit
Cures my ill’s when I’m sick
Kings level up, and smoke a spliff
——smoke a spliff
High as the skyline, always been the go-gether
Rhymes flow like fine wine, don’t get no better
Pull the lever, take a shot, let’s see what lines up
A little extra—why not—-cash out with the jackpot
Mind bending—-light it up, don’t forget to pass the pot
music nonstop —you don’t need a sales pitch 
Elevate, life, love, music that’s our gift
celebrate, Kings level up and smoke a spliff
—-smoke a spliff

——————Lou on the beats

(Chorus)
Every verse, set to burst, like we hit the jackpot
Ain't no curse, pass the verse, 
let me know when you’ve had enough
Elevate, celebrate, this life is our gift
Kings level up and smoke a spliff
—————-bringing more heat!🔥🔥🔥
—————
(Verse 2)——
In the studio,—- beats drop, I'm in my element
Echoes through the block, my flow is heaven-sent
Footsteps on the pavement, making moves, no hesitation
Eyes on the prize, grinding like a revelation
Turn the heat up, feel the bass shake the walls
In this jungle, ——-we the lions, standing tall
Paper chase, ——dollar signs- in our vision
No debate,——— we the legends on a mission
We rise, ———-from the streets to the skyscrapers
Late nights, —under neon lights, hustle never ends
Plotting out the blueprint, —-no need for fake friends
Through the sweat and the grind, ——we redefine the norm
Against the odds, ——we align, ——in this perfect storm
Bridge the gaps, —--build a legacy with no doubts
Never fall, ——stand tall in our pursuit of dreams
Turn the volume up, —-hear the crowd's screams

(Verse1)

(Chorus)
Every verse, set to burst, like we hit the jackpot
Ain't no curse, pass the verse, tell me when you’ve had enough

Sunlight Through An Ashen Sky

Lyrics

There’s a smell of cheap perfume
Laced with something dark
A promise whispered in your ear
A bigger lie now starts

Candy dusts your finger tips
Painted on hooker lips
One more tiny taste
One last final kiss


Your the taste of fuck
Hidden behind your candy shell
The sticky tangled mess

Cheap Perfume

"A Quiet Room" is played on a Jeff Bamburg FSC guitar. Carpathian Spruce/Macassar Ebony, DADGAD tuning. A short tune which gradually "earned" its title as I made my way through composing this piece. Recorded Feb/2025. Thanks to all who might have a listen to this new track!

A QUIET ROOM

It takes a second to say goodbye… or say hello! My second @ GarageBand attempt, back from 2019! Quite a bit rusty on the guitars, but it fostered some insights and inspiration, to get back to recording, after 16 years of @ not!😎 there’s a piano and organ in there, somewhere, as well! Hope you dig a discursive jam 😇

We are pleased to present track 7 from our latest album, 'Haunting One Seven,' full album available on Bandcamp, we hope you’ll enjoy!

Haunting One Seven

A Deity Looks After Me

My last positive creative spell, lasted for a Week!!! After several attempts I finally managed something I was happy with, but on reflection, I believe I could have done so much more with it!
Me being me though! I rarely help myself by doing things normally!!! Lol   So as well as doing this mix, I also cooked my tea, did a few dishes, skinned up a couple times, I managed to resist the urge to do a bit of drawing! Haha 😹
Then came the matter of eating my tea 🤣🤪 Trying to eat a cooked meal while mixing/DJing, is kind of like trying to eat while walking, not impossible, but fucking close, and very messy too, got greasy faders now 😹🦞😜🍄🌈🍺🦄💖🤪😻🍺👽🎷🧪🦇💊😁  Oh, nearly forgot to mention the picture! This Parrot came and visited us at work!  It flew over and said "Hello" 😹 It landed on my mate and gave his arm a peck, before landing son someone else, and give their hand a proper peck!!!!   It was a Fucking Lunatic!!!

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Thought I Was Dreaming

them players gotta play....
but the rest of us  ....well, we struggle 
a little song about embracing limitations ..very rough and loose as expected... My aim is almost true...

Struggle with the Soloing

I got the rhythm                                                               
I got the rhyme                                                                
I got the freedom                                                           
I got the time                                                                   
I got the motive
Same for the motivation
No more excuses
Stop the wanting and the waiting
Whoa, oh, oh                                                                   
Play me some guitar hocus pocus                                     
Such a thrill, hear that Roxy Phil                               
I will lock, I will load                                                        
But I struggle                                                
Struggle 
Struggle with the soloing                                                            
Gotta perfect my Public Image, channel  Keith Levene 
Be like a Dr. Feelgood with that Wilko riff machine
I'll never be a Motorhead, I'm just a song surveyor
Following a fretboard to the land of the lead player
And Whoa oh oh oh
To me it’s all such hocus pocus
Feeling wary about Mr Berry
I am locked, I am  loaded
But I struggle
I struggle with the soloing

 Focus on the tone            
 The phrasing, stay in zone
 The hammer and the bend
 The learning never ends
 Gone solo on the wire            
 The map from fault to fire
 The effort’s everything 
 Focus, focus,                                            

The path to Kath, I’m just not finding it
Nor can I  Thunders pose my Rock n Roll or Hendrix those licks
BB, Al and Freddy, I gotta bow to those Kings
Their blue notes coloured coding inside everything
And whoa, oh no, all those sounds are just a hocus pocus
My fingers caged, how do I Beck or Page?            
The time is right 
But I struggle
I struggle 
Struggle with the soloing 




Struggle With The Soloing

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition 
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender HSS Telecaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum 
 
This song began as one of Joe's, lyrically centered songs, which he wrote and filled in with VST instruments. He came up with the lyrics by sharing ideas with fellow SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani.
   Knowing that Josh is a fan of his work, Joe offered this song to him in hopes that he'd share it with the rest of the band. Of course, Josh jumped at the opportunity to work on his song, and immediately shared it with the rest of the group. 
  Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Josh was having a hard time coming up with a good bass line for it, until Ken suggested that he use the power of the 1/8 note to propel it. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen came along right after and matched Tez's energy for the guitar fills in the second half of the song. 
  It was still missing a solo in the designated spot, though, so Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo you hear in the middle. If it sounds a little mechanical, that's because he's using an arpeggiator to achieve the effect. We thought it sounded good in a song about AI, though. 
  Once all the parts were dialed in, and Joe had gotten all his vocals tuned up, we asked one of our resident pros, Stephen, to mix it for us. He did that and mastered it, too, expertly, as always.
  This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, and don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, and gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino (and Michele Ansani):
When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed and every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar and I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day and most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become and expert at your craft
But now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum and sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe and beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine

Lyrics : 
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

You got jump-scared so bad in your waking hours
You thought you were seeing stars
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you

Gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it
Gonna hear it, hear it
Only when you’re not listening

Gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it
Gonna see it, see it
Only when you’re not looking

It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing your intuition in the corner
It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing our intuition in the corner

The clue stuck to the bottom of a shoe
The mud trail she tracked through the living room
Told you what you already knew

The truth
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

THE TRUTH. 🎧. Feat  Ashes and Dreams

Sunset Reverie

Lyrics:
She was wrong for me
I knew it from the start
I'm not very smart
I left a spare key under the mat
To my broken heart

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

My boss had an epiphany
When I was working at the mortuary
He said: Dig them holes faster!
"This business has no room for uncertainty!"

That may be
Oh, can't you see?
When I'm working for you
I just don't feel like I'm being me
When I'm working for you I ain't following my muse
And there she goes...
(There she goes!!!!)

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
Hey friends, won't you help me spread the news?

I get all my blues for free
Don't you know I'm so low I can't see?
A lousy day...
A lousy pay...
I'm a lousy lay...
I think I'm everything
That everybody say

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

One Step Ahead Of The Blues
