This is the 3rd song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I have worked on together for my CKP page. I wanted this latest track to continue with the electronic hip hop vibe we had established with our previous two tracks.  Bitzone dug into his rich production archive and found a beat 10 years deep that met the criteria. This time I sent the track first to Frawstakwa to switch things up, since the last two songs I had started off. Frawstakwa came up with these deep metaphysical verse and chorus lyrics and I added a literal interpretation with my verse that I hoped would complement his meaning while keeping in theme with the previous two tracks. Bitzone then worked his magic and transformed the track into an electronic hip hop rock fusion. And then for a final surprise, he asked Joerxworx to join in with some futuristic EWI. In the end, I like that this track is different from It Ain’t Looking Good and Trendsetting and I think it points at a possible new direction for the next track we all work on together. 

Thank you for all your listenings, comments, playlists, radio spins, and purchases. The musical team is eternally grateful. 
Don’t loose hope, keep faith in yourself and your community, be creative, and persist.

Lyrics

Oh, this is just great 
Yo, gimme a break 
No, Freudian slip made
So, it’s no mistake
Go, psycho analyze it 
Though, am I insane
In the membrane
Or normal
It’s weird right?
We’re here but so briefly
Mere mortals
Appears our fate is foretold
How unfortunate 
Of course there’s this
Who says we have to forfeit free will
Forget about it
We are forward thinkers 
And forces of nature
Scratch that - supernatural
Look at how we have grown
And evolved
Lets explore
What’s beyond
What is known 
And accepted by all
Be omnidirectional 
Slow, in the fast lane 
Flow, like a mixtape
For, goodness sake
Over and over again 
Face total
Loss of control
Lack of faith
Don’t trip though
Effects cause vertigo
Catch wreck, let ‘em know
Fact check, general 
Search, research
Both the world and the earth
First you learn
Then you teach
Art and culture
To reach out and touch 
All of the people 
Them, no doubt indeed

What difference does it make
If at any given rate
The only thing that matters in the end is too late

What difference does it make
If at any given rate, yo!

Have you ever felt alone
In a place so dark, so vast, so cold

Everyday I pass by
The same lame busted gate 
The same 
Boarded up broken windows and
Old rusted grates
The same
Overflowing trash cans continue to accumulate with a ever-growing stench that won’t abate 
It’s the same
Neighborhood cats talking smack on da crates 
It’s the same
Families falling flat with not enough food on their plates
I’m passin’ by the same
Kids in baseball hats standing wet in wait 
Out there gettin’ rained on cause the bus is running late 
It straight 
Hasn’t changed at all 
What difference does it make
I’m still awake at dawn 
Exerting on 
Getting my debt rate gone
Word is born
What difference does it make
Cause pass generations gone
Still couldn’t pass it on
What difference does it make

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
Things just stay the same

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
We keep on playing games

What difference does it make 
If at any given rate
There really isn’t even anything else left for me to say

What Difference Does It Make

When a person makes you doing things you don't usually do, then you know this person must be very special...and Nevi is that kind of a person.

Having another sip of whiskey with you dear Nevi...let the celebration fly....Cheers...-

Creeping Beauty

Ive been working on this song for some time now. I was hoping to have it come out before thanksgiving. Its a little bit about the future and a little bit about the past.

Lyrics:


Someone told me long ago about a land so far away
 For fortune and for freedom we left out homes for better days.
No one thought that life would come to this though we counted out the cost
Now the simplest necessity is the thing that I miss most

What was lost, what was lost, I often think about the world we lost. What was lost what was lost, I often think about the world we lost

Bitter nights and winter days weigh heavy on my mind
Last time the ice had melted there weren’t many of us alive
Though a simple life and privation has always been my way
When the days grow short and the weeds are tall you got to get on your knees and pray.

Dornland

This is a re-recording of an old song of our old band from the early 90s. I couldn't convince our singer @user-20931549 to sing on it yet (or any other member to record their parts), so all done by myself few years ago, for now as an instrumental. Anyway, I like it ;-)

I'll Try (Only For You)

Seems I write depressing sad songs, disco, or blues. Disco must be next haha. 

Turn the wine into water, turn the water into wine
You’re never gonna quench your thirst for whisky smooth and fine
And you can sail across the desert, walk across the sea
But the thing that you are running from, will find you eventually

But you’re young and your time will come
You’re young and your time will come

So this is ain't you expected, not what you hoped to find
you swallowed all your anger and you buried it inside
But soon the seed is gonna wake up, and the passion flower root
And resentment grows within you as you taste your bitter fruit

But you’re young and your time will come
You’re young and your time will come
You run back to where you’re from you don’t know that you are free
The way you see the world ain't how you want the world to be
you’re young and your time will come

If you think you can find happiness you can leave this all behind
We’ll stray the path and wander 'til we find our peace of mind
Now the world is on your shoulders, and it doesn’t have to be
You have found someone to share the load, now set your spirit free

And we're young and our time will come
You’re young and your time will come
Look beyond the windows and the walls and see the view
There’s a door inside here somewhere, the other side waits for you
Cause you’re young and your time will come

Your Time Will Come

Dedicated to those who chase the creative muse
Lyrics:
You'll know it when you feel it
I'd walk into burning buildings just to see it
Yeah, you know it when you feel it
My muse, she never stays around for long
The paint splatter
The ego destruction
The angle of the light
To try to capture the image
In your mind
Yeah, that's right
That's Robert Johnson there at the table
He knows a guy...
Who knows a guy...
Who gets things done
Because every showman knows
You gotta leave a little bit more
For the back row
You will know it when you feel it
The angels, they've got it all wrong
A beautiful sequence of mistakes
It's a beautiful sequence of mistakes

You'll know it when you feel it
I'll walk into abandoned buildings
Just to see it
She never likes to stay around long
She never likes to hear my love songs

And that's why I don't write love songs anymore...

You'll Know It When You Feel It

That’s All
I’m drowning in the pool of life 
feeling the depth there’s no help insight 
my only choice is move towards the light
holding my breath will that make things right 
I don’t know but I have to fight 
I don’t know but I have to fight 

is it a dream —-will someone wake me 
silently scream —-it’s driving me crazy 

I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
I do believe that I’m out of my depth
I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
over my head
over my head

That's All

This was a great opportunity for me to sing one of my favorite current songs and cover one of my most respected independant musician friend's work . I do hope this inspires you to go and listen to the original version by the man himself

Lyrics :-
I dunno how much more I can take
This media that feeds us must be constipated 
'cause they're full of shit 
Every word that they spew is just lie after lie 
And it's brainwashing you
Into mindless foot soldiers 
To help them control us
To force us to do shit 
They know ain't good for us
Turn you against us, the ones that you love
If you open your eyes you'll see your sisters and brothers, come on 

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night 
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight 
They will not crush our souls tonight 
We'll relish victory in time 
Hold the line

I'm trying but it's getting so grim man
Each day I'm getting closer to just pulling the pin
And I don't like this person that's hiding within me
He's the person that I've spent my whole life trying to not be
I don't wanna hate, I was brought up to love
I'm tryna stay true, but I'm feeling the shove
But I won't let them break me 'cause I owe it to you
To stay strong for us both until you see it too, now come on

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night 
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight 
They will not crush our souls tonight 
We'll relish victory in time 
Hold the line

They're tryna break us down
To divide us is the only hope they have 
They're tryna break us down
All we need to do is pull together and we win 

No need to run, no need to hide
They will not make us lose our minds
We're gonna make it through the night 
To see the light
No need for guns, no need to fight 
They will not crush our souls tonight 
We'll relish victory in time 
Hold the line

[Headphones recommended]

The babbling noise of Wyming Brook as you climb the kilometre 'footpath' is incessant throughout the year. Slippery and muddy in winter the walk can be tricky (especially for arthritic knee sufferers!). In summer the joys of the ascent can soothe the mind as the only the sound of rushing water can.
6 tracks of improvising oboe.
2 tracks of improvising tenor saxophone.
Additional synth, clarinet, bass loops and beats.
