This song is inspired by "Dream Catching", a previously released collaboration between Thommo, Ren Faye, and David Dunham.  David and I changed it up a bit here with a different take, giving it somewhat of a Latin flair.  You can hear more of David's superb guitar playing @david-dunhamuser589535203

Lyrics:

Yo, straight from the looney tunes bin
Eyes blood shot
Tomato red skin
Your Taco Bell meat that you eat is cooked elf
At least that's what my imaginary friend told myself
Am I a clown with a headfull?
Who wraps himself in tinsel 
and gives the meat a pull
Watch me do a tailspin
Watch me do a spin
This is what I do
A monster within
With red sauce on his Chiny Chin Chin
Am I just a few?
Am I just a few Screws short?

Lyrics:
Cruising down the alley way, escaping from the town
Brushing off the cob webs and heading westward bound

Before the attraction of constant interaction
Desperation leads you
To margin all rations
Remembering to cash in
The 39 lashes
The 39 lashes

They placed you on the ground, and cursed at the crown
Had patience for the multitude and all that they had found. 
There really was no option, time to fold the cards down
Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far
Getting ready for a trip to that lonely Black Star. 
Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far
Getting ready for a trip to that lonely Black Star …..yeahhh

She parked to the side of the road
And took the call inside
Pressed a random text that knew the call -    had been cut short. 
Maybe it was time before and time before that
Maybe it had ran its course like a useless old map             …… 
Stopped from the running for/ got so tired and so sore
Manning up the Manchild
Manning up the Manchild
Stopped from the running for/ got so tired and so sore
Manning up the Manchild
Manning up the Manchild 

Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far
Getting ready for a trip to that lonely Black Star. 
Blazing in the hot sun the time was not too far

Cautious Walking

Manning Up the Manchild

Chilled out house music for relaxing to some shimmery, soul-inspired sounds that evokes the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. Gentle synth waves of soothing music written for guitars, drums, percussion & synth.

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

Take You Places

As I Fall

When the bullet's been bit
And the bridge has been crossed
When the dice are all rolled
And we're both at a loss

'Cause you're looking at me
And I'm glancin at you
And I wonder if we
Are both staring straight through

Oh, I got lost in the snow
Blinded by an impossible glow

When we're right on the edge
Between ahead and behind
When you just wanna start
But you can't find the line

When the sweater looks warm
But the fingers are cold
When you just wanna have
But you don't know if you can hold

Oh, I got lost in the snow
Blinded by an impossible glow
By an impossible glow

Lost in the Snow demo

"Blues For Lornica (Lornica Blues)"

Lyrics and Music: Jonas L. Cockson

Playin' round a corn-picker
on her daddy's farm
thas where lil' Lornica
lost her little arm
My one-armed woman
She's really been
through hell
this is my ode to her
Her story I will tell..

Met her one a bar-stool
drowning in some rye
one arm, one hand, one smile
and a
pair of sapphire eyes
Oh--what a woman!
My heart began
to melt
this is my song to her
Her story I do tell..

Stumbling on the train tracks
bottle in her hand
well she had up and left me
for a
younger one-armed man
(you see)
she always loved me
and so she faced
the train
She gained a new beginning
and lost a life 
of pain..

Her body mutilated
snow is painted red
found her hand beside
the tracks 
and as I wept – yes – I said,
"My one-armed woman – a lady
fine and grand
This is the last time
I'll ever hold
yer hand
This is my goodbye
to you
I hope we'll 
meet again
I know we'll meet again
We'll meet again!"

This is a remix of the song 'So Much Mysteries', which I released 3 years ago in cooperation with Cecilia. The version at that time was way too long with almost 9 minutes. I've also reduced the instrumentation a bit and expanded the sound.

Lyrics

It Recently has been discovered in Morocco 5 skulls dating of 300.000 years  just looking like actual human, 
So That famous Neanderthael Theory was a Big Mistake...& I knew it:)
 So there might have been advanced civilization unknowed & that dissepear, 
 such as that Mystic Atlantis ... Mystic... Mystic... Mystic ...

So Much Mysteries still unfold
 Half of the Story never been told
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 from the Ancient times till Age of Gold
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 From Microcosm to Macrocosm

 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all

Don't know all about History
 Don't know all about Biology
 Don't know all the species of plants & their vertues,
 all the insects, the birds and the living creatures 
 & the life in the deep oceanic waters...
Don't know all about Ecology
 Destroying, Polluting our Wonderfull earth & nature

 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 Half of the Story never been told
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 from the Ancient times till Age of Gold
So Much Mysteries still unfold
 From Microcosm to Macrocosm

 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all

It has been recently discovered that there is a Multi Galactic System 
 with 2 Suns & 3 planets where life can be 
 We are not alone in the Univers ... (as SiFi feel it)
 We are not alone in the Univers ... 

 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
 So Much Mysteries still unfold
From Microcosm to Macrocosm

 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all
 Men don't know all at all

Lyrics:

V1. You told me my cowboy hat,
Don't look so good,
You told me my lipsticks outta place,
In Rosewood,

2. Your cigarette silhouette,
Is standing at my door,
What's a girl to do?
I'm not over you,
And every field is our dance floor...

So, cowboy...
Show me,
How they,
Do it in the Western...
Taking in the sunsets,
Running with the horses,
Sunrise cowboy...
Sunrise cowboy...

Those campfire kisses,
Under blankets of stars,
Those old twilight wishes,
Songs on Gibson guitar,
I know now who you are,
Sunrise Cowboy...
Sunrise Cowboy...

Repeat of V1 & 2

Ohhh...yee haw!
Giddy up...
Ohhh...yee haw!!
Not had enough..
Ohh yee haw!
Not had enough...
sunrise,
Sunrise Cowboy...

Now my cowboy hat,
Fits me better than before,
I don't wanna go,
Cos all I want is more...
Sunrise cowboy...
Sunrise cowboy...

Show me, show me how they do it...
Do it in the Western,
Taking in the sunset,
Running with the horses...
Sunrise cowboy...

Yeee...haw! ;)

Sunrise Cowboy

SUNRISE COWBOY (REN FAYE AND DELAFLOR)

With Soundcloud, music is so often created across the oceans, with musicians from around the world who have never met or spoken directly other than through this platform joining together.  Our new jazz fusion composition Across The Oceans pays tribute to these connections across oceans which have fostered such high quality of music, the sharing of regional influences, and true friendships.   
Joining me again are players from Germany, England, Spain and the US, who contribute their individual sounds, elevate and shape the music.  Our horn section was provided by two versatile instrumentalists - Georg Boehme on Baritone saxophone and Andy McLean on Tenor and Soprano saxes and EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument).  Love the full sound they get together and also the interplay between the two musicians.  Our featured guitarist is Stephan Lipinski, who weaves his fine solo to connect the oceans between Europe and North America.  Spanish percussionist Sergio Parraga provides the underlying churning rhythm complement to further bridge our two continents.
Follow these fine musicians if you are not already doing so:  https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme

Across The Oceans - Georg Boehme / Andy McLean / Stephan Lipinski / Sergio Parraga / Jamie Rhind

I wrote this song as a tribute to love that endures beyond this world as we know it. My best friend lost his battle with cancer several years ago, but as I often think of him I have envisioned his parting moments with his dear wife by his side. This is just my thoughts on it, I won’t pretend to represent the actual intimacies that would possibly have transpired, but I do have a good idea of how much they cared for each other, and still do.

Lyrics:   Summer Rain by Craig Durgy

Time slowed down to greet me, to carry out my light
You caressed me sweetly, always there right by my side

And as my eyes conceded, that leaving you I must
Despite your tears that pleaded, I just rose out into dust

I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Yes, I became an angel, the moment that we kissed
Through all the years of loving you
That brought me here like this

Now the dust has settled, life and love go on
Raindrops on a petal, and you know that I’m not gone

In this life we’re flowers, but it’s only life’s cocoon
As fresh as summer showers, forever love can bloom

And, I became an angel, you held to my sleeve 
Now the summer rain will
Let you know I’ll never leave

Summer Rain
