Beautiful version of this wonderful song 🎵 ❤

The INSPIRATION to sing and play this came from somewhere really spiritual as I had never done it before.. peace light love to you Marianne.

nice live-sounding interpretation. good work :)

Lovely intimate performance that packs a punch.

Invigorating vocals..marvelous lyrics.. brilliant guitar work captivating & mesmerizing..perfectly executed..brilliant effects..sumptuously infectious..excellent mix & recording production!

Country acoustic meets hip hop meets techno bass meets a chill 65 bpm in an atmospheric instrumental soundtrack for a foggy ferry crossing.

When fog rolls in, people are happy that the old ferry captain knows the river crossing very well. Thick fog doesn’t stop arrivals and departures on the Fog Bottom Ferry, a fictional name for a ferry that, as a passenger, I also knew very well.

The image of the ferry deck in my cover art doesn’t look like the ferry I took. My Fog Bottom Ferry served a small river town that carried about a dozen cars. To me, its engine sounded similar to a tugboat motor, and was the inspiration for the hip hop beats.

Hope you enjoy a little atmospheric instrumental countryhop 🤠

Fog Bottom Ferry

No dicen nada.

Tremenda balacera hubo en un barrio.
No se si me da el pico pa contarlo.
Hoy dos gorriones miran para arriba
y se ha reunido a tanta comitiva.

Cuendo pasé ya todos lo sabían.
Caídos dos, ninguno se movía.
Al fierro lo encontraron en el carro.
Ya listo pa tirar algun petardo.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor,
no dice nada la radio,
tampoco los diarios, no hay fotos.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor.
No dice nada la televisión, ahí tampoco veo notas.
No dicen nada

Sus caras enterradas en el barro.
Algunos dicen que fueron sicarios.
Y otros que  estos pibes ya tenían
alguna vaina con la policia.

Los chicos van llenando sus agujeros.
Con goles en el arco del potrero.
Y saben que la muerte es una espina,
que vive a cada vuelta de la esquina.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor,
no dice nada la radio,
tampoco los diarios, no hay fotos.

Hoy, quedó un extraño sabor.
No dice nada la televisión, ahí tampoco veo notas.
No dicen nada.

Memories Of The Sea Breeze

A diminutive woman in her 7th decade, Laurie is a dynamo of personality and energy living an outsized life as she still works, loves to travel, and when home, playing in our church band as a guitarist and sharing music as a multi-instrumentalist.  She is also a personal hero in how she powered through chemo, invasive surgery, then radiation to arrest the progress of a rare cancer.  She would tell you it was by the Grace of God, but I would quickly add He worked in concert with her faith and "joie de vivre" of which she has an abundance.  Not knowing what to give her for her birthday and Christmas (a month apart), I gave her a song with her band nickname as the title.  For you, "Laurie Lou" my dear friend, guitar sister, and bandmate:)

Laurie Lou

This song was written eight years ago as the darkness of the first Trump presidency was making itself known. And now once again we have the unthinkable -- this disastrous human being with power at his fingers.  And he's already busy spreading lies, fear, and hate.

Liisa Pentti https://soundcloud.com/liisapentti did guest vocals on this 2019 version, and it's the definitive one -- I love what she did.

Ever Since the Rainbow

ever since the rainbow left the evening sky
waiting and hoping seem such a waste of time
into the air we fly into the seams we dive
as if the dust of a broken down dream
could start the engine fire

the passage of time this endless ennui
rivers and threads between you and me
sleep and dream again and again
an old man's finger tapping on a window pane
we dream and breath we love and grieve
remember that we share the same blood and air

the innocent sunrise the whispering day
dark clouds rising that will pass away
I know that these things that bind you to the common marrow
will rise up in your veins to remind you
remember that we share the same blood and air

WILD ORCHIDS. LIVE Impromptu, Spontaneous, Recording on Chris's Mobile in Robyn's kitchen.  NO effects. No mixing. ROBYN YOULTEN -Vocals and 6 String acoustic Guitar. CHRIS SCHERI - Flute.  TRIBUTE to Marianne Faithful

Tribute to Marianne Faithful

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick four string fretless bass, vocals, lyrics, and seed idea
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar 
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – clavinet and VST sax     
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar, mix, and production
Eclectic Collective -- composition

This song started its life as one of a batch of bass lines Josh came up with around the New Year holiday. He recorded it to a rudimentary drum loop, which Ken replaced perfectly with his own beat. Stephen was up after Ken, adding his tasteful, foundational guitar you hear underlying the entire song. Not to miss out on the guitaring, Tez came up with the ethereal guitar fills that float around in there. Mark came after Tez with his textural wah clavinet, also adding the wonderful sax solo you hear in the middle. After it was done musically, Josh went back and wrote some lyrics and sang them, too.
  Once it was in the can, we asked Tez to do the honors of mixing it for us, which he did in his always expert fashion. 
  This is a fine example of the Eclectic Collective coming together to create a heartfelt song, based on a bass line seed.  We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

Sometimes I think about 
Things we used to talk about
Now I have to go without
Ever looking at your face x2
 
But I want you near me
Wish that you could hear me

What if we could ever reach
Out to the other each
But what would we say?
Is it just another routine day? x2
  
It makes my heart hurt bad
When I think of what I had
Now you’ve slipped away
Seems I saw you just the other day
 
Life can be really cruel
And I can be a fool
But I wish there were a way
I could hear what you would say

Lyrik (the English translation is below the Geman lyrics)
Jahre lang bin ich gerannt
Blind dem Schein der Welt gefolgt
(Blind gefolgt, blind gefolgt)
Hab den Wert der Zeit verkannt
Und mein Herz dabei verlor'n
(Zeit verlor'n, Herz verlor'n)

Dann kam der Tag der alles nahm
(Der Tag der nahm)
Und nichts mehr war wie es einst war
(Nichts wie es war)
Die Leere die mich überkam
(Die Leere kam)
Machte alle Wahrheit klar

Was wirklich zählt im Leben
Sind nicht die großen Dinge
(Sind nicht die Dinge, sind nicht die Dinge)
Ist nicht das ewige Streben
Sind nicht die gold'nen Ringe
(Gold'nen Ringe, gold'nen Ringe)
Es ist die Zeit die wir uns schenken
Die Liebe die wir teilen
(Die wir teilen, die wir teilen)
Die Momente die wir lenken
Wenn wir bei uns verweilen
(Bei uns sind)

In der Stille dieser Nacht
Höre ich mein Herz ganz klar
(Höre klar, spüre wahr)
Was ich früher nie bedacht
Wird mir endlich offenbar

Durch den Schmerz des Loslassens
(Lass los, lass los)
Fand ich endlich zu mir selbst
(Zu mir selbst)
In der Tiefe meines Falls
(In der Tiefe)
Fand ich einen neuen Halt

Was wirklich zählt im Leben
Ist jeder Atemzug
(Jeder Zug, jeder Zug)
Ist das Nehmen und das Geben
Der sanfte Herzensflug
(Herzensflug)
Die Wahrheit in uns drinnen
Die leise zu uns spricht
(Leise spricht, leise spricht)
Wenn wir uns selbst gewinnen
Im warmen Seelenlicht
(Seelenlicht, Seelenlicht)

In der Stille dieser Zeit
(In der Stille)
Find ich endlich meinen Weg
(Meinen Weg, beide)
Was ich bin, was mich befreit
(Was mich befreit)
Trägt mich über jeden Steg

English translation:
For years I ran
Blindly followed the world's illusions
(Blindly followed, blindly followed)
Did not recognize the value of time
And lost my heart in the process
(Lost time, lost my heart)

Then came the day that took everything
(The day that took)
And nothing was as it once was
(Nothing was as it was)
The emptiness that came over me
(The emptiness came)
Made all the truth clear

What really matters in life
Are not the big things
(Are not the things, are not the things)
Is not the eternal pursuit
Are not the golden rings
(Golden rings, golden rings)
It's the time we give each other
The love we share
(We share, we share)
The moments we direct
When we dwell within
(Within ourselves)

In the silence of this night
I hear my heart quite clearly
(Hear clearly, feel true)
What I never considered before
Is finally revealed to me

Through the pain of letting go
(Let go, let go)
I finally found myself
(Found myself)
In the depth of my fall
(In the depth)
I found a new foothold

What really counts in life
Is every breath
(Every breath, every breath)
Is the taking and the giving
Of the gentle flight of the heart
(Flight of the heart)
The truth within us
That speaks softly to us
(Softly speaks, softly speaks)
When we win ourselves
In the warm light of the soul
(Soul light, soul light)

In the silence of this time
(In the silence)
I finally find my way
(My way, my way)
What I am, what sets me free
(What sets me free)
Carries me over every bridge

Was wirklich zählt

AI Opus 3 Produced by Stark Hunter AI and Suno AI  2025

Lyrics by Stark Hunter

The Bot Band was up for this gig. But the drummer broke a drinking glass, (too much rum) and the vocalist, Susie Z, had to leave early for a dentist appointment. All in all, it was a far-out experience producing this song, entitled: “My Old Eyes Look Down to the Floor.” I wrote the lyrics in 2018, but now, thanks to Suno AI, the song has a musical accompaniment. It was amazing how fast those guys learned my song.

My Old Eyes Look Down to the Floor

There is a video of  "Going Down to Mark's Place"  on You Tube, Last fm, and My Space.
Also  YouTube videos from vinyl releases with cover pics of  'Icarus',  'State of Mind'  'Captives', ' Ambiguous Girl',  and 'Some People'  all written by Chris Scheri. ' Crushed and Crazy'   and 'Omniscience'  written by Chris Scheri and Cris Bonacci.
