This is absolutely excellent and unique. Well done!

You have a very personal style. I like that.

this is a big hit in my book , clever funny and radio gold

I took it as a message to be careful with desire and to enjoy it in moderation. I liked it because of its very good sound and groove. Superb.

Fantastic song, David. Awesome production! Bravo!

You see me
You look through me
You hear me
Can you hear me?
Ah-ee--oh...

You’re blinded by your reflection
I’m invisible in the shadow of your glow

I absorb you
I deflect you
I’m a scientific wonder
My surface is cool
My paint is dark
A massive anomaly
A singularity
A Nobel prize in disguise
Well I’m in disguise

You’ve got the angle
You could be near or far

You bend the light
You bent the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bent the light
You bend the light
You bent the light
You bend the light
You bend the light

I wait for you, you walk by me
I'm a meta material new spectrum
No, infrared
I'm headed to the blue hall
A Nobel prize in disguise
I'm gonna be famous
Famous, famous, famous

You got the angle
You could be near or far
On any wavelength
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
You bend the light
And I'm gonna be famous
You bend the light
You bend the light
And I'm gonna be famous
You bend the light
And I'm gonna be famous
You bend the light
You bend the light

Wo-Wo-Yeah
Wo Wo Wo Wow

And I'm gonna be famous

v1
I stuck around with less than twenty pesos
wish I had a little more.
Threw my hand down bought another round of chasers
bouncer walked me out the door.

{break}

I remember
Kevin Bacon wearing that blazer on a
small stage with a guitar.
Singing Footloose with a dude dressed like Elvis.
He dropped the mic and danced some more.

Hey,   there's gonna be hell to….
Ch

pay
tonight
Bright lights
Spinning loudly

These endless nights
A coronation
The King and Queen
A revelation

These endless nights
Oh such elation
the King and Queen
Las Vegas take me

Dionysian wink as he shares the drink
His desecration taps the night
With listening bars and performing bards
Play that gamble and throw the dice

Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

Greetings my SC friends. It’s been a strange few months, and I am excited to be back. But I have a feeling it’s not going to look like it did… at least for the near future. I’m having a hard time organizing my thoughts lately. And while the musical energy is flowing better than ever, my ability to write satisfying liner notes is feeling a little clogged (this will be my 6th attempt at this write-up). 

As much as I regret it, the write-ups may need to stay on hold for a while longer. But first, I wanted to share what happened (in the form of a write-up. Lol). 

For starters, it’s important to mention I’ve been an alcoholic since I was 15 (a 40 year relationship). And although I genuinely loved what a nice beer buzz did for my noisy mind, I also knew what toxic alcoholism looked like (from many examples in my extended family). So I knew I had my work cut out for me, if I wanted to overcome my genetic dependancy. 

Granted, I also have a ‘responsibility’ vein that runs deep. I did my best to prioritize my family and responsibilities first (‘don’t drink til 5:00. Don’t drink if ya have to drive’ kinda stuff), and I considered myself a ‘functioning alcoholic’. Truthfully, I was never ashamed of my drinking. As a teenager, the ability to not give a shit that I found in a beer buzz honestly saved my life. And it allowed me to unplug from the noise for many decades after that.

But I wanted to do better than that, so I started making changes quite a while ago. Here’s a brief summary of how that unfolded:

1. Back in 2006 I concluded my negative headspace was the root of the problem (perspective is huge); so I altered my daily routines, knowing it would take years to undo the lifetime of programming that caused that thinking in the first place. I started consuming info that was positive and hopeful and loving (and avoided negative info like my life depended on it… which it did). And I did that intensively for the next 15 years.

2. But by January of 2023, I realized the beer buzz no longer quieted the noise and ugliness happening in the world (it all went too chaotic too fast). So if the crutch wasn't helpful, it needed to go. That’s when I tried Tai Chi (to give my mind something else to focus on). And it worked brilliantly.

3. Over the next 6 months, thanks to the calmer headspace created by Tai Chi, I cut my drinking tremendously (and for perspective, we’re talking 9-18 Natties daily… down to 3-6 Natties daily). The surprise outcome… the fog in my mind was clearing for the first time, and I was not prepared for sober adult Justin (man is my brain chattery when left to it’s own devices). So at the beginning of August 2023, I decided to take my Social Media break. That was more timely than I could have imagined, because…

4. On August 26th I was given the gift of Pancreatitis (the disease that lets you know ‘Wow, Dude. You drink way too much’). I went to the Emergency room with terrible intestinal pain, and I ended up in the hospital for 5 days. Long story short, I left the hospital sober, and have been that way ever since. And I’m genuinely happy about that… because thankfully, I did a great job preparing for that day.

So in a nutshell... I am back. But the writings may have to wait a while longer (at least until I figure out how my new clearer headspace works). Interestingly, I managed to produce almost an entire album of new music over my break, so I'll put those new songs up on SC over the coming weeks. 

And since I’m just a few songs short of completion, I’ll be releasing a very personal album (symbolizing my adventures with sobriety) very soon. It’s called ‘What Color Is Your Paradox?’, and I hope to have it on Bandcamp in February.

In the meantime, I’m happy to be back. And I look forward to seeing what all of you have been up to over the last few months. :)

 Big hugs from your blatantly open-book friend.
-Justin

Paradox?

Last Call

I feel so lucky that Dave Orestes 1 allowed me to record a rendition of his wonderful song " What Is Rich" ! 

Written by Dave Orestes 1

Recorded/Mixed: Audacity
Guitar: Cort MR710 LH NS
Mic: Rhode USB Mini
Tam Jennifer: Interpretation, Vocals, Guitar, Mix & Master

Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la
.

What Is Rich (with Dave Orestes, 2024)

Impressions from the Celestial Couch

Thought I'd try something different and create a Lo-Fi synth track, enjoy! 

Late Night Drive

One of those stormy days - Valentino

This track is a collaboration with Synline (Tokyo) on.soundcloud.com/bzQWw

Synline shares ... I thought this song would be suitable for the opening of the album. When I asked SeaShea for guitar, he not only contributed his usual electric guitar but also created some tracks with synthesizers. The song, initially incomplete, reached its completion through his efforts. Collaboration has been a fulfilling experience.

We hope you enjoy.

'Into the Underworld' Synline=SeaShea

This composition consists of three impressions, a small cocktail of different styles

Impressions (For one, two & three guitars)


Dedicating my piano part in this song to my Dad who lives in Tennessee in The Smoky Mountains. Hell, I guess I'll dedicate my part to his best friend Ronnie too. 
I only play a small part in this song which is the piano, but I will tell you that the folks I'm playing with are really great people and a lot of fun jamming with. 

Cast of Characters:

mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Lead and harmony vocals, synth guitar intro, auxiliary percussion, mix, arrangement, and production
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, banjo, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – mix and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and vocal harmonies
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, mandolin, and lap steel
This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured Josh's son, Marshall, singing the lead with him, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to elder Clary. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. This song also has special meaning for JJ and Ken in relation to their fathers, as well. JJ's dad has had a rough year with his health. He also is a musician who inspired and encouraged JJ to play music. His dad also likes this song, so it was fun for him to present it to him, as well. Ken, who's father never really supported his decision to be a rock-and-roller, loves this version of the song we did, and made Ken know how proud of him he is in regard to it, which really meant a lot to Ken, too. Another cool connection Ken has to this song is that whilest attending elementary school, he was in the same school choral cohort with the Maria Carey. He actually sang this song with her when they were kids. Also, we feel like we should acknowledge Artur's dog, even though Artur isn't in on this one, his dog loves country music and responded enthusiastically to this one.
  The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after that. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. 
  After presenting Josh's dad with the present, it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the JD, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break now. He also added the guitar lick at the very beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his cunning harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.
