The lyrics seem to be about my general aversion toward the momentous amount of shitty events that took place in 2020.  Perhaps a psychoanalyst would see even more in them. The lyrics are a bit esoteric.  My sub-conscious was definitely spewing on this one.  I kneaded the words and phrases against the texture and flow of the driving pulse of the  musical content. What emerged is something special. A real rocker!  The song slowly builds, creating an incredible sonic vibe with many subtle aural sweet spots.

Lyrics
Chugging down the Qi
by David Husted

V1
Stained glass windows broken
The shit upon, plain folk, discarded and forgotten 
 The sea of swelling slogans
 And sky that always follows the long sleep of exhausted
Chugging down the Qi, waking underneath a park bench
Manhattan calves, a butterfly laughs at a snowflake

Ch 
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase,  2020s face,
 this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off  without you          

{Verse bare}

Ch
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase,  2020s face,
 this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off  without you        
{instr}

Bridge

V3
Lonely bird you make me smile
So smeared across the day I think I'm bending in straight spirals 

Come on mon, mop the ground
Out beyond the hobbit hill, I can prove the Earth is round

Ch
Now where would you have me go?
And who is this I'm talking to?
Let's erase,  2020s face,
 this year's a disgrace I think I'm better off  without you        
{instr}

Happy New Year and even more importantly, Happy Martin Luther King weekend.  

We continue to move forward.  The world can be difficult, frustrating, complex and sad. Yet……(queue long pause as we look up at the starry sky together) it can be quite beautiful despite this reality. A reality inside a reality. I catch glimpses of this world in the spaces in-between my chattering, worried, planning, catastrophizing incessant thoughts. It is the feeling that sits behind the other ones. It is the faintest echo of peace and happiness that can't quite be articulated without sounding corny.  Some of you know what I am talking about.  Music can tease this feeling out from hiding too. Life is so short and it seems to speed up with each passing year. A summer in child time can last years. Years in adult time can feel like moments.  We are star dust. We are myth makers. We are ………something that is very good.  You are something very good and my wish is for you to see this my friend for this New Year and the ones to follow. In your darkest corner, may you see a little light; Moonbeam Blue.

**************************
some details about the actual song below:

What's all that plucking about anyway Dave? This song captures that state of mind between awake and dream; sanity and madness. A place perhaps you have encountered yourself at times in life. It happens to be one of my personal favorite musical offerings of the year and the year is still so young. I hope you enjoy.   

Lyrics

Moonbeam Blue
Words and music by David Husted

I  
Ride
Moon Beam's
Blue
And I'll
Follow you
home

In the night
In the night

In the night
By the light
Of the fire
I lost my
Mind

near the pools
Along the sand
World between the do and don't
Of the mad

Hello
In the darkest corner
I can see a little light
Moon Beam Blue

Hello
In the darkest corner
I can see a little light
Hello,     Moon Beam Blue

*********************

This song has a sweet laid-back arpeggiated Hawaiian ambiance counter-balanced by a reversed sampled pad effect that creates a more surreal edgy vibe that hints at the story to follow. This pad was created using recorded samples of reverb tails created from the very instruments playing in the song itself. This sample is then reversed and carved up a bit. This texture adds a strange, yet familiar feel and gluing effect that I liked. 

The percussive sweetener details and the push and pull of room space as the song progresses were strong artistic design focus areas. They help to create and solidify the moonlit beach fire atmosphere. This crucible helped the luminosity of the vocal story-telling to come to life. Later I add a Chinese Yangqin instrumental section just because I could.

TurnYouOnLoveBomb

On a cool clear summer night
Someone said to me
Try a little of this my friend
And set your spirit free

Stopped and thought about it
For a second maybe two
And said ah what the hell now
What’ve I got to lose
And they said

Sit on back now and enjoy the show
Let me turn you

On… love bomb
Turn you on…
To loving
Yea

Break

You are the centre
The beginning and the end
This place in time will never be again
May you live forever in love

Break

Now I’m riding down the highway
Feeling oh so fine
And in part I owe it to the one that turned me on that time
So if you’re feeling lucky, keen to learn a thing or two
You know I’m more than happy to do the same for you

Just sit on back now and enjoy the show
Let me turn you

On… love bomb
Turn you on…
To loving
To loving

Well alright
You got it
Let’s go 
Now

Who I Am

Bogus Fortune Teller

“Highland Wandering” dances through the open skies of Scotland — a lively pop-jig that blends the heartbeat of the Highlands with the drive of modern rhythm.
Bagpipes call across the glens while guitars, drums, and piano join in joyful stride.
It’s a celebration of movement, freedom, and heritage — a journey through wind-swept hills where every note carries the sound of home.
