hahaha i remember the first time i heard this MM&W tune, i was on tour in the US and i kept waiting thinking 'what a long intro' thanks for putting vocals!

Absolutely awesome. And the proof that Zappa and Scofield are in fact one and the same person.

Awesome, awesome stuff, Bruce! This may just be my favorite you've every posted...and that's sayin something! Great production, groove and guitar. Sounds like a soundtrack song from a movie I'd really like.

I'm working through my go Funk yourself playlist today and this is on it and this is such a great tune Bruce

The music for Lady of Fire's poetry almost writes itself. Everyone who reads my descriptions knows how much I appreciate working with her. This track is no exception. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed composing and producing the track.

As in our former collaborations, Lady of Fire (whose Soundcloud site one should really visit for good music, poetry and voice art  https://soundcloud.com/ladyofire), she did all the magic with the words while all about the music was my pleasure.

Belly Deep

You are made
from the marrow
of the profundity
of bones
living without the
Certainty of vision
But the promise of
Eternal life
You are the primordial soup
Of your own making
Eat wisely and reap
from
the belly deep

saturday night in an english village

Long  time no see everyone on SC.
Time flies. It’s already mid February.
Most of the snow has started to disappear. Soon spring will come. In Japan March is the end of the fiscal year, when we meet newcomers and leave the old behind. I get somewhat sentimental.
I hope you enjoy this ballad.

GRATITUDE - It's all about the music!

It took me some time to finish this tune, as I composed this almost a decade ago. For some reason, many other musical projects kept distracting me from investing the kind of time this tune, “GRATITUDE”, required and I believe deserved. 
But, I decided to not let it remain on the back burner any longer. 
I’m happy to say I finally got it done.

This tune is all about the gratitude I have towards everything that encompasses music. There’s gratitude simply for music existing in the first place. It’s my heartfelt tribute towards the art of music in all its forms. It is also just as much a tribute to ALL the musicians, from all walks of life, famous and not so famous... with some of course being highly influential and motivational for me on a personal level, all of which have been a source of inspiration in one way or another over the course of my life.

The essence of music is one of those big unanswered mysteries in the human experience. Why is it that we humans perceive the sounds of music in the way we do? No one has ever really come up with a plausible explanation, yet music remains as a special art form that has existed throughout modern civilization and has been expressed in countless ways. It’s pretty incredible… isn’t it?!

So, I conclude with the hopes that you will give a good listen to my tune “GRATITUDE”. 
After all this is a tribute to every one out there... whether you are a fellow musician, or the non-musician that simply loves to listen to music and one that embraces this wonderful and diverse art form.

GRATITUDE (Audric Jankauskas-2024)

It's just not funny anymore, the conspiracy theories..the hate filled blogs and social media posts..the absurd rhetoric that passes for political discussion these days
It is hard enough for people to get along as it is (for reasons that are not clear to me) but this background noise is making it impossible to survive.

To quote John Prine "it don't make no sense that common sense don't make no sense no more"

lyrics

superman is made of steel
batman has his batmobile
spider man is fast as lightning
yea their powers are really frightening
but there is one who tops them all
Someone more powerful I can't recall
Someone with no thoughts at all
we call him stupid man

super eyes that can clearly see
to the tip of his pointed nose
super ears that clearly hear all the voices in his head
nerves of steel.no remorse no sense of fear at all
since he doesn't;t know what he's got
he is not afraid to lose it all

there is no truth he can't defeat
by stomping it with his feet
there is no lie that's so far gone
that he can't embrace and sing its song
lizards in the White House
democrats drink baby blood
the moon's not. real its a laboratory
the earth is as flat as can be

King Kong pounds his mighty chest
Godzilla roars out his fiery breath
but stupid man can top them all
he bellows out his rage to all
cause someone told him this was bad
and someone told him that was worse
he doesn't take the time to think
his eyes are shut so he doesn't blink

don't bother him with truth or facts
things for trivial pursuit
He 's busy saving the world from everything that's not like him

so fight on fight on stupid man
until there is no one left but you
then you can learn to fear yourself
and bring an end to this crazy talk

Mighty stupid man

lyrics:
I wish there was an easy way
but easy would not teach me
notice the poison
negativity is contagious

so many things that went wrong
so many things I tried but went wrong
the world is upside down
no one feels really fine
so I'm looking for a way

how can I make a difference
how can I make this change
can I change the fate of our kind
can I clean all the mess we have left behind
can I heal and bless my feelings
my feelings are loosing me

I'm thinking too much
cauz nothing really matter
if I'm still breathing
my feelings are hurting
but it's a divine compass
that helps me to get on the right path

how can I break the habits
those that lead me to pain
how can I make this change
can I change the fate of my life
can I ease my nervous sensitivity
need to clean away this boring ambiant negativity

I want to see the change
I want to be the change
I want to see a change
cause it's at hand
and I have enough of my shit
want a change
cauze I have enough of our shit

Kaerian and Echo Garage - Change

Amputation

Thinking back to a field of flowers
Smiling through a field of dreams
And you the breath of summer breezes
You the taste of mountain streams

But now the fields are full of graves
Cause war it came and you had fled
And me I lay in wheels’ tracks
Would I just be left for dead

Before my eyes wilting flowers
And I felt amputation
A chloroform delirium
I'm living through amputation

Leave the window half ajar
Let the sun light trickle through
Swathed in cloth of bandages
All I do is think of you

Every now and then I dose
And for a while I’m there with you
Rolling in the verdant grasses
Basking in the love of you

It’s end of life it’s wilting flowers
I fell then amputation
A chloroform delirium
I'm living through amputation

A loose salute and tip of the hat to the talent and glow of the Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood song
Lyric and vocals by conover

This is my cousin, David Conover's take on the song.. Bruce
DC
jeff tweedy’s bio tried hard to review tunes without capturing whom the song might sound like. so, in that honor here’s my attempt. 

go go go then stop slow and low cookin’ on a recently outlawed 4 burner gas stove. the stock pot has boiling pasta fagioli on the front burner; a low slow rolling boil. simmering on the back burner is honey-dripped sauce soon to be ladled over braised short ribs. paired with a 69 year old black licorice liqueur. 

tasty

Go Go Go then Stop

it was good for awhile
but that was long ago
now it's black and vile
this dog and pony show
we know it's over

birds fall from the sky
mountain climbers fly

we know it's over
we know it's done

quarantine #5

they made me write this down in a long letter/to say if i would ever again feel better/but i'm underground and there's no sound/i don't think that i'll ever again feel better/I'm underground and there's no sound

quarantine #8

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
