So much talent from my part of the country (SW Louisiana, SE Texas) George Jones, Tracy Byrd, Mark Chesnutt, George Straight, Janis Joplin, Edgar Winters and the list goes on.  Tracy Lawrence sang with a Louisiana based band in 1988-1990.  He was shot 4 times by robbers in may 1991 which delayed his first album Sticks and Stones.  He was named top new male country vocalist in 1993.  He continues to create great music.  Just one of my favorite Tracy Lawrence songs.

Phone recording added to by The Happy Somethings 

I uploaded Bitter before but in my opinion this Bitter is better.
I wrote and played it on the 1st January 2023.

I have loved The Happy Somethings since I first heard them when in Azerbaijan about 6 years ago.  We share the philosophy that if we try harder it sounds worse!  I am pleased and honoured that they spontaneously decided to colloborate and be my "ramshackle"  backing band on this song!  a bit like with Buddy Holly's apartment tapes, only I think Buddy's were better before...and Buddy was never bitter.

...and in the words of The Happy Somethings:

"We have been fans of Cobbled Moth's musical output for some considerable time and when we came across this new song called 'Bitter' we just immediately loved it. One evening, bored with ourselves, and without him knowing, we decided to become his backing band... fortunately he embraced our audacity!"

Lyrics:
I remember you sweeter
Now you're lost in the ether 
You were a spirit transmitter
But now you are bitter
And it's a shame
If you think no one cares
You went through pain
I know I was there
But you always had a wise word
And a kind word too
What happened to you?
I remember you taller
And now you are smaller
Over the land you would skitter
But now you're just bitter
Ooo oo now you are bitter
Ooo oo now we are bitter
And it's a shame
If we think no one cares
We went through pain
Yet always stayed fair
And we always had a wise word
And a kind word too
The disillusionment grew and grew and grew
I remember you fatter
And it didn't matter
Long before your x twitter 
When you were not bitter
I remember you jolly
In the rain with no brolly
I remember you shiny
Your wit was perfectly briny
I remember you noble
Before the dragon went global
You were never a quitter
Hope you stop being bitter

Guiding light

Well I just don’t know where I’d be without you
Or if I’d be anywhere at all
And it chills me to the bone to think about it
When loneliness comes knocking at my door.

You’re the only one
Who truly knows me.
And yes, indeed you put up with a lot
And in return I’ve tried to do the right things.
But mostly more often than not.

You were still there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night.
When I can’t find my way through the darkness
Make no mistake.
You’re my guiding light.

Sometimes you can’t fix what’s been broken.
Then a man just has to just accept his fate.
But I thank the Lord above that you still love me.
To help me bear that crushing weight

And you’re there for me
Wrong or right
When the end of days becomes the night
When I can’t fight the way through the darkness:
Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light.

Make no mistake
You’re my guiding light

Make no mistake
you’re my guiding light

Guiding Light

Ocean is all about capturing the magic and beauty of the ocean. With every note, I aimed to reflect the tranquil waves, the vast expanse, and the serene whispers of the sea. It's a piece meant to bring you peace and a moment of calm, just like standing by the shore and watching the waves roll in.

This is an original song Durge came up with to describe a guy who has lost at love once before and feels pessimistic about his future. But time and random circumstances present a new opportunity at love and happiness. Fortunately the spark ignites in a big way to bring him back around.

Lyrics:    Imagination

There’s a shadow in my, imagination
Where the moonlight left me, without sensation
Makes it hard to see the, sun is shining
It’s a cloud with, no silver lining

It was something in the way, she cried into me
When the tears dried, the drought, forever threw me. 

There’s a corner of the bar at a downtown cafe
Where the sunlight through the door marks the end of the day
When you broke the light, from the doorway
From the corner I was, looking your way

It was something in the way, you looked into me
When you spoke to me it went right through me. 

Sometimes one thing really, leads to another
Shadows only need a spark, to recover
We were sparkin’ like a, July occasion 
And the fireworks lit up my imagination 

Now it’s something in the way that you call out my name
And the moonlight reveals, my sensation again

Imagination

Feet On The Ground ( The Blaffy and Fox Project )

I knew years ago that the orange man is criminal. A jury has now confirmed it. 
Is it too little too late? I hope not.
Even though this may have sorta celebratory vibe to it, I wanted a bittersweet undertow also. This political situation in the US right now is almost unbearable … at least for me and many people I know.

I compose in MIDI, using Logic Pro and sound libraries from EastWest.

Guilty As Sin

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest

Since We Started

Written by the super talented Gaz Brownie, and produced by the amazing Mike Fox..
This is the follow up to "Marry Me in Vegas"..  Gaz and Mike once again invited me along on this gorgeous journey to continue the story..  Gaz gives an Outstanding performance and his voice just brings that emotion across which in turn allowed me to do the same..   I'm so thrilled I could once again collaborate with these two extraordinary gentleman.   Mike Fox did his magic in production and instrumentation and brought it all together..   We hope you enjoy this as much as we did making it..

Lyrics:

I can’t believe you're back in the city 
We called our own..
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real….Real good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time!)

2nd Verse
So after Vegas I needed to leave 
I should've worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what to say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
All the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. Real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

Real Good Trouble

This track has been a labor of love, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you all. It's a fun, upbeat tune that I hope will get you moving and grooving. 💃🕺
"Lost In The Melody" is all about getting swept up in the music and letting go. I had a blast creating it and I really hope you enjoy listening to it just as much.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who's supported me on this musical journey. Your encouragement means the world to me. 💛
So give it a listen when you have a moment, and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks again, and I hope this tune brings a smile to your face and some rhythm to your day! 🌈🎶

Lost In The Melody

The fourth song of our summer series "We Can Solve Most Things If We Talk" is a hymn to Hope.  It is the enduring attribute of mankind to be able to think beyond the most painful circumstances and imagine a better life and a better world.  Peter is not just a fine writer of melody and lyrics, but a very able and eloquent guitarist and vocalist.  Oddrun graces this song with her angelic voice as if she were Hope itself, and in duet they give the song wings.  Seagull's synths, bass, and mix are ever sure and seamless, a true labor of love.

Will you Raise Your Right Hand?

Peter
Can you number the circle’s rim, each point on a list?
Enumerate the air, simply cupping of your hands
Freedom lantern’s falling dim in honesty’s fading mist
But will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun
Can you census the clouds, in a ledger of the sky
Set out in a single line each and every grain of sand
When the despot weaves his thieving lies will you stand idly by
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Peter & Oddrun
Can you audit every atom, in a volume for the shelf
Each uniquely named, indexed on demand
Does the mirror only fathom, a shallow of your self
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you detail every shimmered light on a canvas of the stars
A snapshot of the cosmos as at light speed it expands
Will you document but passive shame in the volumes of your pale memoirs
Or will you raise your right hand, when hope makes its stand?

Oddrun & Peter
Can you hoist the flag of humankind above the crass material world
Crush the armies of greed, their legions to disband
When the shining banner of grace is finally unfurled
Did you raise your right hand, when hope made its stand?

Hopeful Man--Will You Raise Your Right Hand (Peter, Oddrun, and Seagull)

Cast of characters:
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, synth, seed idea
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –  vocals, lyrics, mix, and production
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–banjo, guitar, sitar, and final mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, seed idea
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass
Composition – The Eclectic Collective
This song started in probably the most effective way our group writes them. Ken had a spectacular drum beat that was unused in a previous project, so JJ composed and recorded with his magical keys a chord structure and arrangement. Once we had a beat and a chord structure, I came along and added my foundational bass. 
  Now that the rhythm section was complete and the chord structure was in place, Stephen added his unique melody line that you hear at the beginning and every other verse on his magic banjo. He also plays all the initial guitar until about the 1:40 mark, when Tez takes over. In addition, Stephen also laid down some really trippy sitar in the break section. Then it was time for Tez to add some spice to the mix with his fiery guitar solos, which you hear from about 1:40 on, eventually building up to a crescendo towards the end. 
  Once we had all the music down, we realized that we had a big gap in the bridge without much going on in it. So, Mark came through and recorded a cool poem he had written on his refrigerator with word magnets more than a decade ago, captured with a picture, and added to for the this song. The poem is loosely based on the idea that our dreams exist in a digital environment/universe. The girl's voice you hear echoing him is his daughter, for whom he originally composed it, in her first appearance with the EC. 
  The song was now finished, except for Mark using his masterful production skills to trim and move a few things. After he made those adjustments on, he threw a mix on it. While we usually defer to Tez or Stephen for the mix, Mark did such a great job, we decided to keep his mix. Stephen did, however master and EQ it to make it a finished product. 
  This is a song written truly as a whole band effort, showcasing what the Eclectic Collective can do. I hope you enjoy listening to is as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by Mistermark:  

The moon flickers on
and rises and dances
across a celestial stage
as dreamers paint the pixels of their mind 
like an infinite canvas 

Sleep away tiny egg
and leave a delicate thread 
of memory behind 
but never log out 
you are in the elaborate web
always

For this song I was trying to write something with some 70’s sounding wah-wah guitar and originally wanted some dance/disco feel to the track. I ended up adding a brass section when I needed a ‘hook’ for the song. This reminded me a quite a bit of those Herb Alpert records from the 60’s which I hope explains the title. The result ended up a lot less disco but I hope makes for an interesting listen perhaps!

Bravei (Brasil) sent me a quick ReMix of this recent post and his quick retweak of my Original Mix. I liked the way he ReMiXed it and replaced my Original File with his enhanced version Check out his work on SoundCloud some time, if you aren't already familiar:

>>> Sincere Thanks, Bravei ! :D <<<
Another one of those amazing Traditional songs where the original songwriter is unknown. Kurt Cobain resurrected it when he did an MTV Unplugged version. He was a huge fan of Leadbelly, who also recorded and performed various versions of it. The legendary Bill Monroe also covered it, among others. The song has been referred to often as "In The Pines" or "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" and sometimes referenced using both in the Title. This version features an AcoustaTronic approach and I revised the lyrics based on a number of different versions of the song in a way that made the most sense to me, personally. Also, finally figured out another opportunity to use my Native American Bamboo Kiowa Flute in the background......just because I've been trying to find a way to integrate it into one of these tunes in some way. Just learning - so please be kind. As always, thanks for Listening and/or commenting. Most appreciated, as always. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Pines

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

(REPEAT CHORUS )

My Frist Track for the new album. Mixing with my new high end equipment. A song of reflection about the early music festival scene near San Francisco  where I grew up.

Freedom Free Love Free To Be Heard by GLEN GRANTHEM
Play it like you use to play it when you were young
Tearing up a fret board until you reached number one
Spend those days on the green lost in the crowd
Shoulder to shoulder as the band rocks out
Singing songs about peace and love and Smoking grass as guitars strum

Day after day the music was life 
Turntables spin all through the night
One hand on a pipe carved out of stone
All your friends felt right at home
With both hands in the air and Every face wore long hair
Viet Nam was miles away  Every song had its place
Solo
The sixties were like no other time in our life
Draft cards ,Protests , Equal rights
We were coming of age to save the world
Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard
Singing songs about peace and love Smoking grass as Guitars Strum
With Both hands in the air 
Singing Songs About Peace and Love.....

Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard ( Original ) with Lyrics

Two song writers, two kindred spirits... that found each other by pure happenstance and great fortune, to collaborate and create music together.
