TRUTH RAY - ASTRAL YOUTH

Wrote the title phrase on a birthday card and immediately thought  that's a 'song title'.  The first take of the vocal was a loose ramble but I just left it in - it seemed to fit.

Love Our Together Life

That cliché thick and thin about loving all the time
We’re not vascillating over always gotta rhyme
Doubling up in laughter keeps an even keel
And getting to a sweet spot finally it’s real

We drove out to the cliff and back
Now it’s all about giving back

It’s life upon a road with little jobs to do
And a race across the sand to share the view
It’s pouring out the drinks as the sun dips down 
And talking ‘bout the people who we see around 
Love our together life
Love our together life

Back in days of war it was tight in the lip
And the putting up of walls with a face half lit
Cause expectations could never be met
And it takes a lot of years to wind it back to less 

Yeah giving up on hurt and feeling how it was
In the years embryonic burning hot
And the psyche bathed in the songs of the time
But transplanting now to a wiser kind of rhyme

Love Our Together Life

you (tnx to my special friend Sidartha)

Rising For Air (G. Di Nunno)

It's now to throw aside and bleed
Out the poisons I've collected
That span that took more than gave
Open arms to leave rejected

All that pressure building
Attempts at fitting in
Followed scripts as written
Left stricken from the spin
That rise for air
Rising.

Remembered how you laughed me down
Once the aura lost its luster
And joined the band of lonely ghosts
Isolated, cold, to shudder.

Friends fled through the back door
As scissors cut the ties
Got the hand-down remnants
With footprints left by spies
That rise for air
Rising.

It all depended on a former vision
The effort given rewarded with tension
A lightened hatred as the months were flying
Became a new scene; tell me how that happened?

Where stares were hard
A lightened mood
Has entered here
And washed away.
What led to this
Is memory
To part and go
Not looking back.
Rising
Rise for air
Rising
Rise for air.

#8. Rise For Air

Liars and killers
Are not a good mix
Liar is a man who’s  never done shit
A killer stares through a man like the holes already exist.

Liars and killers
Killers and liars
The who should never co exist

Liar$ and Killer$

Cast of characters:
Tea R. Sea @tea_are_sea -- Terry – Synthesizers, beats, composition
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Top T Classic
 electric wah guitar, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- Yamaha Genos 2 electric piano, tambourine, and triangle
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1– Custom five-string fretless bass

This song started as a basic, yet melodically very strong composition by Terry involving him playing a synthesizer over a beat he created. He first shared it with Stephen, as they are regular collaborators in their project, Texas Tea, which are worth checking out on both of their pages, as well. Stephen then turned it over the the Eclectic Collective to work our magic on it.
  Josh was first up to the plate with this one, adding his deep, five string fretless bass to Terry's rudimentary beat. Ken was next up, however, adding the driving drum beat you hear, for which he used Terry's beat as a template and augmented a full kit sound to it. Stephen followed Ken, adding his striking wah guitar part to the whole thing. Tez was up soon after with his searing guitar soloing towards the end. Last, but certainly not least, JJ added the soulful electric piano you hear giving it a funk throughout, as well as the tambourine and the cool triange dings. 
  Now that it was in the bag, we decided to ask Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his typical expert fashion, as well as the doing the mastering, too.
  This is our holiday offering to all our fans, friends, colleagues, and peers. While it's not particularly a holiday song, it's a good display of where we are musically, and shows some of the flavor we want to add in the new year. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Happy holidays to you, and many happy returns!

What I Know

Have you known a person that just didn't fit in anywhere,  had a hard time making friends or always just seemed like they were unhappy and just preferred to be alone? Maybe that outcast was you? I think we all felt that feeling of being a complete alien to any situation at one time in our life. I wrote a song about it, Here are the lyrics: 

Come inside you're always welcome
I'll show you where you can sleep tonight

Come tonight we're always open
We will be here for you
Whenever you arrive

Break the hold on hesitation
Take the gold it's a strong temptation
You're too old turn in your resignation

BACKGROUND:
Break the hold on hesitation
Take advantage of a dark temptation
Don't fight the rise to your elevation 

Just come inside, come tonight
We'll be here when you arrive

Come tonight and build a fire
Take your time and make it higher
So everyone can see it from
100 miles away and then some

Run the red lights
Nevermind the law
Or what it signifies

It's always only told you lies
So how have you not realized...

With elements of stoner rock, ambient psychedelia, and progressive layering, Cloud Wizard isn’t just an album—it’s an initiation. Close your eyes, tune in, and let the Cloud Wizard lead you beyond the veil.
