Excellent lead guitar, love the kind of grittiness and the unexpected samples in the background!

Awesome guitar riffs and melodies, great uplifting feel!

This mini-opera is expressive at every mesmerizing turn - thank you for sharing.

The birds still sing when I feel at a loss for words.

“After documenting the loss of nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone, it was dismaying to see the same patterns of population declines and extinction occurring globally,” says conservation scientist Ken Rosenberg of the Cornell Lab, now retired. “Because birds are highly visible and sensitive indicators of environmental health, we know their loss signals a much wider loss of biodiversity and threats to human health and well-being.”

Good afternoon my SC friends. This year, I thought it might be fun to share some of the brain rebooting information I’ve discovered over the years that helped me navigate life a little easier. So if you like the idea of following along with these liner notes, you’ll want to watch this video first (about 1 minute... Selective Attention Test video: https://youtu.be/vJG698U2Mvo), before you continue reading down. It’s quite challenging to get the count right, but the results are utterly fascinating. :)

*waits patiently*

Welcome back. So, if you haven’t already seen it before, you just watched a video that brilliantly demonstrates our limited capacity as observers. I admit, I was so busy counting the passing ball… I totally missed the gorilla. Most of my family missed it as well. And according to the creators of the video, at least 50% of the audience will. That’s mind blowing.

So what does that say about our perceptions? It seems to suggest we’re not as aware as we think we are. And that is a lovely thought, because it means we don’t have to be so hard on ourselves when we misperceive things. We are literally incapable of taking it all in, and therefore we don’t always have the full picture (or even the same picture as our fellow traveller).

And that just demonstrates the limits of our mental awareness. Now consider our senses for a moment… how our hearing range is limited to a range of 20Hz to 20kHz. Think about how our vision doesn’t go below the ultraviolet or above the infrared. And I know I can’t smell things to the excellent degree my family’s pets can. 

The one that really blows my mind is that we aren’t ever physically touching anything. There is always an atomic amount of space between all objects. So when I sit down in a chair, what’s really happening is the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up my butt are interacting with the molecular particles that collectively agreed to make up that chair; and the signals are all just electrical stimuli to my brain. I believe I can feel the smoothness of the polished woodgrain… but it isn’t a full or accurate story.

So now we have an idea of the limitations of our five senses. Add to that how we are limited to those five senses in the first place (unless some of you have physically developed sonar like a bat or have the ability to create an external multi-member neural network like fungi do underground), and you start to have a better idea just how much of the picture we are missing. 

So in a nutshell, we simply don’t have the full picture; and that can be a very liberating realization. That idea gave me the wisdom I needed to release my stranglehold on being a perfectionist… just a little bit. If I’m constantly missing things I don’t even know I’m missing, perfection isn’t even an option. I can also take these ideas out into the world with me, and realize we really don’t perceive things as similarly as we think we do. We are constantly being influenced by everything from our senses and mental awareness to cognitive dissonance and the bias of preference. We are each having different experiences, and that underlying realization is a great place to start, if change be the thing we desire. :)

So if you found this write-up interesting, you might enjoy ‘The Invisible Gorilla, And Other Ways Our Intuitions Deceive Us’ by Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. It’s a thought provoking read. 

I’ll share other inspirational books and TV shows in future song notes. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed my latest sonic adventure, ‘Develop Mental’ (especially all the little details I added in the 21kHz+ range, as well as the ‘scratch and sniff for dogs’ elements). :)

Ascent Twin Slopes

Lu Bu（?〜199）

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Bu's heroic performance stands out.

However, he betrayed his father-in-law, Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, and wandered the battlefield.

Cao Cao hesitated about how to deal with Lü Bu, but Liu Bei decided to decapitate him.
At the end, he is said to have cursed Liu Bei, saying that he was the most untrustworthy person.

Check out the music video for the song here!

在《三国演义》中，吕布的英雄表现尤为突出。

然而，他背叛了岳父丁原和董卓，流浪沙场。

曹操犹豫如何对付吕布，刘备却让他决定处死吕布。
最后说刘备是最不值得信任的人。

「人中有吕布，马中有赤兔」
This means that “among men there is a hero named Lu Bu, and among horses there is a great horse named Red Rabbit”.
意思是“人中有英雄吕布，马中有大马赤兔”。

Nuff Said…
Dedicated to Jason Hines, aka “The Speaker-Breaker”
Thank you my brother for always pushing for another verse, another track, another production…
Celebrating you, 🌹R.I.P. my brother…✌🏽💚


Moves you make——I catch it from the corner of my eyes 
Catch it from the corner of my eyes
Just a little too late but wisdom states 
You’re not really here you died———————(when we’re here—-time flies)
I catch it from the corner of my eyes
I catch it from the corner of my eyes
I catch it from the corner of my eyes

I can feel you ——I can see you 
is it really true ——reaching out like you do 
No shouts —no cries ——when angels speak
No truth —-no lies ——to compel the weak
Have a safe trip ——have a safe journey 
As long as we remember you—-you’ll never be lonely 
————you’ll never be lonely
you’ll never be lonely

Started something—-I’m feeling it everywhere 
Ghost or spirit—-between here and there 
I’m zoning in——— it’s becoming quite clear
Matter of fact—-it make me feel——self-aware 
Everything smooth—-now it’s all ——slow motion 
I’m still here——————is that a blessing?
Caught between the drama—-the lights and the shadows
No more fear—————-another lesson 
Heaven and hell —-you believed with a passion 
Sitting back not your style—-was a man of action
Answered the call your reassigned —-a new mission 
No time for goodbyes—-there’s never satisfaction 

We’ll hold on —-you let go—
No obligation no regrets —-just peace and love——--it’s all
It all a celebration —-It all a celebration—- bro
 
I can feel you ——I can see you 
is it really true ——reaching out like you do 
No shouts —no cries ——when angels speak
No truth —-no lies ——to compel the weak
Have a safe trip ——have a safe journey 
As long as we remember you—-you’ll never be lonely 
———you’ll never be lonely—-
you’ll never be lonely

Started something—-I’m feeling it everywhere 
Ghost or spirit—-between here and there 
I’m zoning in——— it’s becoming quite clear
Matter of fact—-it make me feel——self-aware 
Everything smooth—-now it’s all ——slow motion 
——-I’m still here—-is that a blessing?
Caught between the drama—-the lights and the shadows
No more fear—-another lesson

This is my second collab with @mralchemy , I love his sound and style, check out his cool productions and thought inspiring hip hop from Australia if you haven't had the chance yet. He and his son both worked on this one with me, I think it turned out great!

At the Root of It All - w/ Mr. Alchemy

When that title slipped into my mind it was all go and the early verse work felt bluesy with certainly blue notes to sing. The chorus wrote itself around the title with jazz chords. Changing key to the variation was natural enough but quite a long journey back to the verse again.

Art in her Bones

Out on the left - she’s made it her home
Some think she’s weird – and likely getting’ stoned alone
But I’m on the hook - just reel me in
It’s the art in her bones - that makes her what she seems to be
The art in her bones - makes a thrill inside of me 

Sometimes at night- she wakes from a dream
She runs to her paint – got to liberate that scene
Then after an hour - she’s layin’ back down
It’s the art in her bones . . .

She don’t deal with accounts and rates and supermarkets
She’s driftin’ through hazy lanes and blocks of colour
And something someone said three nights ago
She put that friend in embargo
Gotta work it through on canvas - then they’ll thaw in a tryst

They’ll work it out – those ladies of rhyme
They just need the moon – to tell them when the time is right
And me I can wait – for that special night

When she gives she’s layin over us 
Starlight curves across her body real – we’re playin’ seals
Lazy floppy as the sunlight grows
We talk of us as forever – and after that still together
Neath the door’s a gentle zephyr

Hey let us rise – it’s quarter to one
In the café - love our whacky talkie fun
The way she sees things – my soul it just sings

Six Years

You know how you can sometimes see shapes in the clouds? Similarly, sometimes I hear music in silence or in white noise or subtle sounds. I've always felt angelic presences around me and I like to think the music is from them :) This song is an attempt to portray that music that keeps me intrigued by the mystery of this existence.
