Aaron And Tom In G

There's Lizzards on the walls in my hotel, it's hot as hell and it don't smell like my home town.
There's strangers in the halls, and the Punjab calls
while children laugh out loud without regard or regret

Ensconced in cotton course and white
the Charpois wait for another night
and the jet is on the runway, waiting for the northern flight
and Kashmir waits with open arms and mountains bright.

There's Lizzards on the walls of my hotel
Theres loaded Tongas on the teeming street that's lined with open stalls of spice and fruit and brass and salt and hanging meat.

There's Lizzards on the walls
Marigolds strung on strings wrapped around all kind of things.
Beggers on the street with broken arms and legs and feet, still smiling as they reach through diesel fumes and swarms of flys and eyes that stare longingly for some relief.

The Privileged life it dawns on me i didn't see till then and there
where a thousand stare in disbelief 
Humbled like a thief before the judge.

There's Lizzards on the Walls(a distant memory)

So, this is another one that i did kind of at the beginning, and I could never get it right, so i did a little makeover on it. I changed the key so I wouldn't have to sing in the break so much, and I added some harmony, which I totally cheated on. 

Here's  the original description...

So the narrator wants to write a beautiful song for the one he loves, but he hears the adage that you have to write 200 bad songs before you can write one good song. So, he writes 200 songs and throws them away so he can have a perfect song to express his love...this is not that perfect song, it's a tribute to that perfect song lol

200 words, I’ve written down
In this beat up yellow pad I carry around
Each ones a mirror of you
Reflections straight and true
the truth and beauty that is you
I have found

2oo lines, I poured into
Give me the strength I need to finally face the truth
It’s too late to start again
Look at the state I’m in
How could I ever win, then I found you

Hold on! The world opened up before me
Hold on! It’s unfamiliar territory
Give me shelter from the storm
Wrap me in your arms
keep me safe from harm

And every word, that I write
Fills up the lonely days all the lonely nights
Words I never said, that I wrote down instead
Kept them in my head till I turn out the lights

Hold on! The world opened up before me
Hold on! It’s unfamiliar territory
give me shelter from the storm
Wrap me in your arms
keep me safe from harm

200 songs I threw away
200 chords and notes I lost until today
Each one a painting bold,
Our stories never told
Forged in fire and wrought in gold, I thought I’d never play

Lyrics:
Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

The ancients, now buried
Believed themselves as gods

Their deafening silence
proves that they were wrong

Gentle bravery preserves
While hubris destroys

We’ve forgotten ourselves
Consumed by our toys

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall
Again and again
And again

Our so-called intellect
is ignorance defined
A veil that blinds 
our eyes

We think we know it all
And that’s why we'll fall

A mighty army lies vanquished
The snake consumes itself

The one who kills
destroys themselves

Subtle perseverance
steers us to the way

Our collective madness 
has chosen – has chosen --
Another fate

True words may be ugly
While the beautiful may be false

Have respect for everyone
don’t exalt yourself

The great are laid low
The soft and gentle remain

This world could be a paradise
But we have initiated the fall

I was so inspired by the beautiful Varanda Velha by Soundwanderer - this melody and these words just appeared and demanded to be recorded. You can hear the wonderful original tune, and many other sound treats, here: @soundwanderer
Edit: The most talented Christian Zatloukal, Soundwanderer, is no long with us. He rings loudly in our hearts. <3

If I had a bell to ring
I think I’d ring from spring to autumn
If I had a bell to ring

If I had a hill so green
I think I’d roll from top to bottom
If I had a hill so green

If I had a song to sing
I think I’d sing from night to morning
If I had a song to sing

If I had a hill so green
I think I’d dance from spring to autumn
If I had a hill so green

If I Had A Hill So Green (Veranda Velha) with Soundwanderer

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

Thank you for taking the time to listen,  please 'like' my work if you are so inclined, and please comment, I do this by myself, so I appreciate all feedback..
It goes without saying, but no AI or Music Maker here, I'm responsible for every chord, melody and word, mix and master, for better or worse! (I do use VST's and samples)

Thank you all for listening and your incredible comments, I appreciate them all
