Call this a retro dystopian future....

DYSTOPIA

Endless chatter, walk the fields
No horizon, blade towers 
Cloudy sky, 20-20 vision
See the light, the nights delight

Endless line, endless party
Endless time, endless future
In the air, never to die
In the flow, irresistible way

I saw the hole
I saw the hole

Just stop this light from reaching me
I'm frail and fragile in my serenity

The silence, brown fields
Big sky, damn the sky
Blue sky, clouds in my eyes
Bright night, blinding darkness

Endless line, endless beggars
Endless time, endless waiting
Surface down, the depletion
Wanderer, aimless loss

I’m burning
I’m burning
I saw the hole
I saw the hole

Just stop this light from reaching me
I'm frail and fragile in my serenity
just dropped from heights you cannot reach
One nail, one coffin that I will never need

It's only air we're breathing
Despair of season
Wary of reason
Depths of treason
It's only air we're needing
The care of heathens
Contraire, the meaning
Years of being

Dystopia

LYRICS:

I can't hear a single word you say
I can't hear a single word you say
Under water and I'm washed away
Under water and I'm washed away
I can't hear a single word you say
I can't hear a single word you say
Under water and I'm washed away
Under water and I'm washed away
Water flowing in the heat of May
Water flowing in the heat of May
I think we've had our fun for the day
I think we've had our fun for the day

We flow down the waterfall
We flow down the waterfall
There's no turning back now

I don't hear a single word you say
I don't hear a single word you say
Under water and I'm washed away
Under water and I'm washed away
Water flowing in the heat of May
Water flowing in the heat of May
I think we've had our fun for the day
I think we've had our fun for the day
I'm drifting right beside you
I'm drifting right beside you
As we fall over the ledge
As we fall over the ledge
I'm drifting right beside you
I'm drifting right beside you
As we fall over the ledge
As we fall over the ledge

Everything beautiful
If you can see clearly
Everything beautiful
If you can see clearly

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm never gonna let you go
Though the water pulls us apart
Though the water pulls us apart
Though we're sinking to the bedrock
Though we're sinking to the bedrock
I'm still here beside you
I'm still here beside you

We flow down the waterfall
And I can see clearly
Everything beautiful
When you're here beside me
We flow down the waterfall
And I can see clearly
Everything beautiful
When you're here beside me

Waterfall - Shark Teeth & Moon Dust

Progressive funk rock by the Dragonsail Puppets

Point Of Touch

Me and Hideo rock-in' it out, good old spontaneous jam style, in fun-fun-fun mode. Nothing's better than a live jam...I l-i-v-e for it! In case you might be wondering, the far off distant psychedelic vocals are in fact deliberate...I tried to create the picture that we are up in the cosmic realm among the planets and stars jamming it up oh so blissfully, trying to please the Gods, the universe and all who dwell within. We are physically so far away from one another yet spiritually, we are so near and ready...ready to give you the instant magical vibrational feeling. At least we hope we're doing that. The intox-hypno-trance vocals are actually me telling Hideo how excited I am to be jamming with him....jamming to his super charged up kit-percussion! From the first moment I heard Hideo play his drums, I was completely gone as in stoned out of my mind. We're both feeling happy high elated in the Cosmos so please do come along and join us in our Happy Hap-Hap number...take your first dose now XOXOXO

Here's the video: https://youtu.be/cwkF6MZ8E4k

and here's the lyrics:

Possums in the pumpkin patch,
Possums up the tree.
Clogging in boots on the ole tin roof,
Rattling through my sleep,
Rattling through my sleep.

Wombat digging in the underground,
Soft paw shuffle at night.
Hide inside a hollow log,
Lord those Devils can bite,
Lord, those Devils can bite, whoo, they can bite.

Cane toads hanging at the riverside,
Cane toads at my door.
Nobody loves ‘em, everybody hates ‘em,
Ain't gonna sing no more.
Ain’t gonna sing no more, 
Ain’t gonna sing no more!

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
Ain't gonna sing no more.
Whoo!

This one is about Summer and feel good music. Getting past the last year and a half feels real good. Man what a ride we have had. Now Peeps get after that Summer vibe.

Summer

Lyrics:
How long until this feeling dies down
How long will it take
How long until this feeling wears off
How long before I break
How long until these tears start to dry
How long do they last
How long until this pain is dead and gone
How long please make it fast
A phoncecall but no one seems to be at home
A lone cry across the sea
The phone rings and then I feel the grip of hope
I hold on to my sanity

How Long

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new
Downloadable: https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/another-pun
I suggest checking out the original tracks too: @https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/pun !!!

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!

Who'll Stop The Rain (Cover by Tony)

Original Blues 2015 collaboration with Bob Warner

The Best of Him is Gone (Lyrics Tony & Bob - Featuring Bob Warner) Original

Known as Mr Smooth, Jerry Wallace was nominated for male vocalist and song of the year in 1972 for How Times Flies.  Other songs include Shutters and Boards, Primrose Lane,Do You Know What It's Like to Be Lonely.  He was a Navy veteran and died in 2008. I had an old album I used to play all the time.  This was from that album . I changed the tempo somewhat.  I always loved the lyrics.

Time

Link follows with all background on this Gem, first written and performed by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Most poignantly later delivered by the great Johnny Cash (RIP), and included in a mesmerizing video featuring this cut from his highly acclaimed 2002 album - 'American IV, The Man Comes Around'. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2727
This one was recorded in my own AcoustaTronic style long ago. Recently resurrected the files and ReMiXed. These haunting, memorable lyrics speak just as meaningfully to The Opioid and Heroin Crisis today, as when Reznor first penned the Original. Hoping tragic losses and addictions affecting so many continue receiving all needed support, attention, and coordination in working toward the elimination of this mind-boggling situation. Lyrics follow:
Hurt
Reznor (Cash)
I hurt myself today 
To see if I still feel 
I focus on the pain 
The only thing that's real 
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting 
Try to kill it all away 
But I remember everything
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns 
Upon my liar's chair 
Full of broken thoughts 
I cannot repair 
Beneath the stains of time 
The feelings disappear 
You are someone else 
I am still right here
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt
If I could start again 
A million miles away 
I would keep myself 
I would find a way

Lyrics
We are all just grains of sand
But together we form the shore
And we are all just tiny sparks
But we fill the sky with stars

And we are all just breath
But it forms the wind that cradles the grass
And we are all just tiny streams
But together we fill the Sea

An we are all just a moment in time
Just a moment in time
But together Eternity
But together Eternity
But together Eternity

well you thought it would change
but it stayed the same
yeah, it just remained the same
when you left the ground and you touched the sky
well it all remained, the same

ridin' high or rollin' low
just listen, yeah you listen
well you thought it would change
