A love song with a twist. Relationships can have ebb and flow, this song touches on those situations.

Take You Places

As I Fall

A Passer By

On The Road

He went down to the crossroads
To  make a rotten kind a deal

And you know ol’ scratch is
Always lookin', always lookin' for a soul to steal

Seems learnin’ to play his guitar
Was takin’ far, far too long

So, he signed the dotted line
And got his hit song

But his voice sounded like a goat
Of the fine print, 
he should of made a note

Why not just practice?
Best way to get the job done

Why not just practice?
Hard work never hurt no one

They cheered and bought the record
Enchanted by the sound

But music should be for the soul
Not the other way around

And all that fame and fortune
Will burn up real fast

When it’s time to pay the price
And the devil owns your ass

Whoa-whoa-whoa-oh
whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa

Why not just practice?
A good way to unwind

Why not just practice?
protect your soul’s behind

If you’re at the crossroads
Best to turn right round there and then

Cause the devil, he ain’t your friend
He’ll always screw you in the end

Lyrics:

I’m a veteran  of the psychic war
Never before have I been so happy on the sidelines
Far away
I’ve found a place to stay
I’ve found a place to stay

And when I look back now
There is no cure
For the cruel existence we endured
We endured

I’m a veteran of the psychic war
Never before have I been so happy on the sidelines
Far away
I’ve found a place that I can stay
On Neptune 17
Hiding from the all seeing machine
It tracks you, it drags you down
I’m lost, can I be found?
I’m lost, I don’t want to be found

And when I look back now
There is no cure
For the cruel existence we endured
We endured

And now times have changed
This space machine will help me make it to the end
To the end

I’m a veteran of the psychic war
Never before have I been so happy on the sidelines
Far away
I’ve found a place that I can stay
On Neptune 17
Hiding from the all seeing machine
It tracks you, it drags you down
I’m lost, can I be found?
I’m lost, I don’t want to be found

Carry On - 1990s Vintage

I've been "away" for a while musically, because I was busy with setting up a new PC as "music machine", but yesterday and today I've created a new track from scratch, started with programming percussion, beats, brass and stuff, the jungle vibe ambience included (with Palindrome); so all is vst and no audio loops used. Finally I added a sloppy sax jam, which may be replaced some day ;-) so have fun and enjoy my late summer vibes ! photo by Truman Talbot, unsplash

Lyrics:

I walk down the lonely the road
Just to search why im alone

And to figure out
why i chose you
no other will do

All the others 
treated me like shit
Beated me
Threw me in a fuckin ditch
But you there for me
We were meant to be

My heart keeps beating
Seeing you was
all that mattered to me
its all that keeps me free
under that whitesugargarden tree

Now all i see is my future self
Suffering from defeat
Walking down that lonely road
once again. its the end.

its the end.
its the end...
its the end......
walking down the lonely road

its the end.
its the end...
its the end......
walking down the lonely road

all alone
all alone.
all alone.....
once again

all alone
all alone.
all alone.....
once again

Walkin down the lonely road

I was delighted when https://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein accepted this request, fully expecting a return  before Christmas, I was blown away when it came back within the hour.

Special mention to Yaron Engler who rescued me  from a low point last week by gently binning my drum part and creating a midi track that was something altogether more human, more sensitive. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0w2fQk3d4pinwOEvx2muwA?si=0UFLygwFQPCx07rjR1DwhQ

The song was written for a friend’s partner who likes word games but the answer to the clue belongs to someone else.  Hope ya like it.  Antony (a.k.a burn.it.smith)

13 across (crossword clue)

Here’s the convention
Three words in a sentence
Last one ending with ‘you’
Starts with an ‘I’
Almost high and dry
Just one more word here to do

Begins with an ‘L’
Does that ring any bells 
Cooed like a wood pigeon dove
Not often said
Makes you blue or go red
Rhymes with ‘heavens above’
                             
Still at a loss
With 13 across
Not sure there’s much more I can do
Is that a grimace
Or a smile on your face?
Oh what a hullabaloo!

Moving on to 2 down
Stop your fooling around
Don’t know why you do what you do
A gun to the head
Russian roulette
What’s the something  in I ‘something’ you

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
