Hello;  I am back once again with a new song.  This one was a blast to create and I learned  some new creation and mixing techniques in the process. 

Here is  a little bit about the song structure.  I had a strong desire to build a song around a more complex chord structure. I avoided the standard whole chord triads and challenged myself.  The patterns I came up with are harder to play, however, I feel the chord structure is more satisfying in the long run. The particular chords I landed on provide a sense of tension and release that fit in with my unsettled emotions better.  

Here are the chords I chose:    

Gmaj7;    Fsus2-9;   Cmaj7;  A7;   C;  BbMaj7;    G4+   

I loved the the G4+ because our ears want that last chord to point us "home" and this chord just refused to cooperate.  That, my friends, is where the magic happens.  It springs up in the nooks and crannies of space, rhythm and tension.  I hear plenty of areas where I could improve the mix but I have learned that time is short and, at some point, one must move onward.     

I am never sure what any of my songs are really about but I think facing demons, overcoming challenge, and coming together get you in the ball park.  Things are way to fractured in the world today. 

Here's to You; Here's to Us

Lyrics

Raise Them Up 
by David Husted 
copyright 2017 
v1 
Going down through the center, down through the center 
I did not ask to go 
landed on the devil’s back; he spit me out 
I’ve got to find my way back home 

v2 
Up through center now, up through the center now 
still got a long way to go 
love slow, feel her 
shake, taste her earth quaking 

ch 
Will you raise em up? 
Raise em up 
and hold your heads up…… 
high 
Here’s to you 
Here’s to Us 
Love 

[instr] 

Step on outside today 
even a few seconds 
feeling the slightest breeze 
might be a hurricane 
land of good and plenty 
why does it feel so empty 

[repeat with harmony] 

[Medley Fugue] 

Crazy 
Ain’t Life Crazy 
I miss the Fresh green grass of Home 
You fill me up 
You fill me up 
This Love 
This Love

can i keep my eyes closed today
cause i lost a piece of mine
and i feel somehow faceless today
i'm blindfolded and i need you by my side 

one sunny day i met
an old friend so pale and thin
i had to get rid of him
before it gets under my skin

and it paralyses me so

wait a while my love down in the shade before we walk
into the fields mile by mile hand in hand until the end of our time

before the sunset ends
i wan't to fill my bag of life everyday
till someday the one eyed god
may walk over our graves

but for now i ask you to

wait a while my love down in the shade before we walk
into the fields mile by mile hand in hand until the end of our time

and we step into the unseen

Wait

Para Lia - Wait

Tea Man went deep into the North American wilderness to try and communicate with the unknown Bigfoot (Sasquatch).  Bigfoot is said to be a hairy, upright-walking, ape-like creature a bit like myself but i am currently unable to communicate through Drum 'N' Bass, if i hear anything back i will update.

Finding Bigfoot - How To Call A BigFoot

Our Time
By David Husted

Listening to an old song
Made on an old four track player
That old cassette tape
Hiss, fizz, click and waver
Holding back my sweet melodies

But in my mind's eye   
guitar don’t sound so bad
I hear more high end, yea, 
It's coming in clearer now
Nothing gonna hold back my sweet melodies

Listening to an old song
Made on an old four track player
That old cassette tape
Hiss, fizz, click and waver
Holding back my sweet melodies

chorus
This is our time

Verse 

With a little less running on empty now
That tape hiss, click, fizz is
Something I actually mix in
It just feels better
Just a touch for a new song's edge

chorus

And when my mind hisses like a old cassette tape 
or a VHS or crackling short wave, don’t give in; live through it
This is our time

Bridge

when that new dawn follows you
Throwing paint against that wall 
Could be crap; it could be art
Like a Lost and hungry dog
gnaws your pant leg; starts to growl
Until a melody  
Lands


Chorus

And through this new song
This World don’t look so bad
I hear more high end, in it too
It's coming in clearer Than my old tapes ever do   
Our time


about the song:

My purchase of a four track player in 1989 was the best purchase I ever made because it opened up a whole new world of music creation potential. I thought the sound quality of my productions back then sounded incredible and it is so interesting to listen back and hear how "bad" they sounded when referenced against "today's" digital environment and which we take so much for granted today. This song was NOT made on a four track player, however, I did try to emulate the sound of degraded tape hiss in certain sections of the song for effect. Looking back, the weaknesses of my early recordings had a tremendous endearing quality to my ears and I attempted to capture that feel and sentiment in my new song "Our Time". The song has both a certain sad/nostalgic feel upfront and then transitions into a happier/uplifting and moving arrangement at the end. Enjoy the song and Thank You.

Our Time

Greetings Earthlings,
Here is David Husted's latest original song called "A Telegram from Aliens".   
Aliens from outer space may be watching your planet and determining whether you are collectively sane or insane and deciding if this planet should be saved or annihilated.
I am pretty sure you know which way the scales are currently tipping but give Dave's song a spin to find out more late breaking news on this topic at this link.

LYRICS
A Telegram from Aliens 
by David Husted 

Intro: 

Verse1: 
Scent of spice on the trade winds 
Sound of sea and the wind howling…. 

…..Listing starboard toward Orion 

Ozone and roots in the fabric 
of field and stream the last Rhinos dream…. 
And then fade away 
…………………Fade Away 
Ch: 

…..You know we are better than this 
…..You know we are bigger than this 

{instr} 

Shake off my mind's snakes and cobwebs 
We're moths pining towards burning flames 
Imagine a Telegram 
…..from Aliens…… …….that says 

Ch: 
…..You know you are better than this 
…..You know you are bigger than this 

{instr} 

Bridge: 
Humans think they're so fantastic 
I think they might be Plastic 
bet they taste like burnt toast 
and salted concrete 

They're enigmatic 
Clattering fanatics 
They lie , they cheat, they steal, they kill 
Take Earth for granted 

They huff and puff, 
never shut-up 
Galactic Council says 
Prob best to zap them 
…………………………… 
But every now and then I see compassion 
Every now and then I see such kindness 

The most extraordinary ship of fools 
They make it so difficult for us to choose 
Throw them in a tasty stew with garlic, pepper, salt and truth 
Others say, let them stay 

hope maybe they'll find a better way; I pray 

To Love……………To Love, To Love , To Love, To Love 

Verse 2: 
Her family, past the Pleiades 
She's traveling on a cosmic plain 
She sleeps beneath 
The lathe of heaven 

Today a passenger on a sleeping train 
Sipping whiskey with a fine Green Sage 
Who brewed Ayahuasca with a 
Poetic Naturalist; He said 

Ch 
……. know we're better than this 
She smiled, waved goodbye, I'll try, "you're better than this" 
……. know we're better than this 
She smiled, waved goodbye, I'll try, "you're better than this

2nd quarter of the album and titled for Ellesmere Island (see my map), it describes the hard final stage of the expedition to the 'Arctica Point', and first effects felt when getting closer, for example odd rhythms ;)

Translated lyrics explain it with more detail, again:

ELLESMERE (AVANZANDO EN EL HIELO)  /  ELLESMERE (MOVING FORWARD ON THE POLAR ICE)

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se desliza hacia ese lugar…  /  my sleigh slides towards that place…
… aunque mi brújula loca está  /  … although my compass is crazy
desde más de cien kilómetros atrás.  /  from more than a hundred kilometers behind.

El sol me guiará,  /  The sun will guide me,
mi corazón me guiará.  /  my heart will guide me.
La aurora boreal me guiará.  /  Aurora borealis will guide me.

Los vientos polares me llevarán,  /  The polar winds will carry me,
los terribles vientos polares me empujarán.  /  the terrible polar winds will push me.
No tiene pérdida el lugar  /  There’s no missing to the place
donde se producen todas las singularidades físicas.  /  where all physical singularities happen.

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se guía solo hacia ese lugar  /  my sleigh guides itself towards that place
y aunque mis perros no lo saben,  /  and though my dogs don’t know it,
esta brújula no cesa de girar.  /  this compass doesn’t stop spinning.

Voy cada vez más deprisa  /  I go faster and faster
arrastrado por mis perros,  /  dragged by my dogs,
acelero, voy cayendo…  /  I accelerate, I’m falling…

Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
el tiempo empieza a correr.  /  time starts to run.
Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
dejo de envejecer, ¡dejo de envejecer!  /  I stop getting old, I stop getting old!

thought I saw you there

Wild Overgrown Love
By David Husted 
Youtube Video Link of my latest song "Wild Overgrown Love" at : https://youtu.be/dSo_YD_RJQE

Lyrics

Well I've got me a wife and kids now, a mortgage I can't afford
Three noses that need wiping attached to three faces I adore
Blue Heron pulling off a frozen pond, scent of smoke and pine
Noticing the absence of my tangled, startled mind ; shouting, 

why haven't you stopped now? coffee spilling on the floor
Stuck in a car behind a car behind about hundred more
Sometimes it hits me standing at the mailbox or while I'm brushing my teeth
Or watching pixels on screen update without me "doing" anything

Stop scrambling to get more done
I think I'm dancing with Bewilderment

When your near me, Between the valley and that mountain top
Feel Me, Laying down beside you
With our steady wild overgrown Love
That's Enough

Climbing up the stairs backward, singing a melody 
I think  that truth makes love with beauty and a touch of misery
Perhaps the Un-relenting; Relents; Perhaps Un-Comprehending; Comprehends

Stop scrambling to get more done
I think I'm dancing with Bewilderment
Drop 10,000 different things
Don’t forget to lift up; love and family

When your near me; Between the valley and that mountain top
Feel Me, laying down beside you
With our steady wild overgrown Love
That's Enough

Music Development Process of Wild Overgrown Love 
By David Husted 

A Henry Jamison song called Real Peach grabbed my attention and I decided to dissect it.  I do this often with songs and usually I lose interest or move on.  This particular song continued to pester my dreams because of the unique chord tones.   I think the draw was its deceivingly simple acoustic sound on the surface. I was in the mood to simplify.   However, surprise!, this song is also deceivingly complex.  Just beneath the primary guitar you'll note unique atmospheric pad textures, the reverb ebb and flow, the percussive accoutrements, the vocal harmonies, and the prime vocal intimacy.   This song was anything but simple in the end and I like a challenge. 

So……I returned and decided to use some of its best pieces as an inspiration for my next song.   If you listen to both songs back to back you will probably NOT hear similarities on the surface because as my song grew it diverged pretty widely from the source material.  However, if you delve in a bit closer you will probably hear some congruent chord shapes (although a different key) and chord arrangement similarities.  Is this against the rules?  I'll let you decide. 

 I love to watch how an idea blooms into a completed project and takes on a character all its own.  My song was a complete failure relative to it's emulation of the Jamison song strong points (and that is probably for the best);  Yet!, A song was created, none the less, and I, of course, am willing to share the good, bad and ugly with you.   The song creation process on this one twisted along different and always interesting trails, dead ends and occasionally bumped up against beautiful vistas.  I personally hear its many flaws but it was time to let it fly away.  Enjoy! 

May your unrelenting, relent; may your uncomprehending, comprehend and may you  dance with bewilderment. 

Peace and Happy New Year!  

Dave

Verse 1
If I could see
all the things that waited for you and me
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand
for you...

There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it tick away....

Verse 2
If I could see 
through the shadows of life
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand

D'où je viens
tout est si tranquille
si silencieux
aucun son
aucun bruit
aucun mot
aucune parole.

Une petite voix intérieure
un chant inaudible
une relique d'un autre temps
me dévore une voix à l'intérieur...
Une petite voix intérieure
un chant indicible
un cri qui s'étend...

D'où je viens
tout est si lisse
transparent
aucun pli
aucune couleur
aucune ombre
aucune lumière
d'où je viens on enterre
sous des monceaux de peurs
les rêves des enfants.

Une petite voix intérieure
un chant inaudible
une relique d'un autre temps
me dévore une voix à l'intérieur...
Une petite voix intérieure
un chant indicible
un cri qui s'étend
une voix me consume de l'intérieur
un vestige de mon enfance...

Petite voix intérieure [Wypernet and Lukowig]

Another Winter

Based on the book Cilka's Journey by Heather Morris

Cilka is just sixteen years old when she is taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp in 1942, where the commandant immediately notices how beautiful she is. Forcibly separated from the other women prisoners, Cilka learns quickly that power, even unwillingly taken, equals survival.

When the war is over and the camp is liberated, freedom is not granted to Cilka: She is charged as a collaborator for sleeping with the enemy and sent to a Siberian prison camp. But did she really have a choice? And where do the lines of morality lie for Cilka, who was send to Auschwitz when she was still a child?

In Siberia, Cilka faces challenges both new and horribly familiar, including the unwanted attention of the guards. But when she meets a kind female doctor, Cilka is taken under her wing and begins to tend to the ill in the camp, struggling to care for them under brutal conditions.

Confronting death and terror daily, Cilka discovers a strength she never knew she had. And when she begins to tentatively form bonds and relationships in this harsh, new reality, Cilka finds that despite everything that has happened to her, there is room in her heart for love.

From child to woman, from woman to healer, Cilka's journey illuminates the resilience of the human spirit―and the will we have to survive.

Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade
By David Husted

Your Corners Curve Like Lemonade Sun Drops    
Melting on an ocean's horizon   

I Wipe the mud from my knees
over madness
The windows are weeping as I lay dreaming 
Of stranded Islands
Empty and stripped clean


Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers  open up in their cages 
Bubble gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange    
We're  Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn

V2
Einstein and Heisenberg in parliament
Embers proliferating magic
Thriving through the time fields sucking information from the cosmos
Our very constitutions dust and water; 
Gold and oil on the alter now;  be a ghost to this chatter
Plot our lives in advance,……….     Of the rising sands

Ch
Ohhh… Your corners curve like lemonade
Zoo keepers  open up in their cages now
Bubble  gum wrappers floating flames flickering orange    
We're  Basking in an almost; Ireland and Italy in Brooklyn

Bridge

We will not Run
We will not run   

Ch 

The Chorus has a psychedelic vibe to it but with its own unique twists and turns.  I tried not to box myself into corners with my lyrics and used a very open ended process to my word smithing.  I felt know need to present you anything too "air-tight" in terms of story or arrangement.  This is what I love about song writing. I toss up ideas (the crazier the better) and see what happens.  Once I have a kaleidoscope of working pieces I gently mold them into forms that contain loose tendrils of cohesiveness and meaning but only just barely.  This is one of those song's I created with no preconceptions or creative borders and I just let my mind go where it wanted to.  Sometimes this works and sometimes it is a disaster.  In this case I arrived at something I liked enough to share with you.  

Never mind that Dave, what is the song about?  

It has something to do with the excruciating beauty of a sunrise.  It has something to do with love.  It has something to do with how quickly time moves forward.  It has something to do with how impermanent everything really is (including us).  It has something to do with how lucky we are to be the tiniest spark of a flame witnessing this miracle before us for the most minuscule parenthesis in time.  It has something to do with stepping out of my self imposed cage, and yet not running away and hiding.  It has something to do with staring this beautiful, wild catastrophe of existence right in the face and enjoying the ride.   Far Out Dude. Now go put your favorite tie dye shirt on, grab a cup a coffee and listen to my song : )!   Groovy Man…..Will Do!  

May your corners curve like lemonade.

AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,

It was only yesterday
I thought it was just us
Destined to stay hidden in the woods
I’d marveled at the prospect
Of there being more
But now we’ve found them do I trust them?
I’m not sure
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
Confiding in them could be the biggest
Mistake we’ll ever make
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
But something doesn’t feel right
About that leader in my bones

I have felt so hopeless
As if I can’t go on
And these people seem OK to me
Do you really think there’s something wrong?
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
And I’m willing to take that risk
Let’s leave it all to fate
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
It’s better than facing the enemy alone
Alone
Alone

Maybe I’m just being a little paranoid
But I can’t shake off this feeling, he’s someone to avoid
Let’s just take it one day at a time, see how things pan out
If you trust him then I’m willing to give him a chance
In spite of my doubt

Just a Little Nudge (Nuts)
--------------------------------------

I was just a little dude
Living in my treehouse
Until the wind blew it down

Well I found a new roof over my head
Underneath was the masters bed
What happy guy with a fabulous house

Made myself a home
Greeted the neighbours and built my nest
Master greeted me with the bat

---
Swing left - dodge right
Jump up and fight for your life
Swing again and jump real high
Trying to learn just how to fly
---

We met on a sunday morning
On the stairs of our home
He grabbed a ladder
Started climbing home

Waiting in the hole
Watching master climb
Just a little nudge (nuts)
Just a little nudge (nuts)...

He is trying to learn to fly
Not so good at it
A bit clumsy
Leaving a mess
He will just clean it up later

Just A Little Nudge (Nuts)

Inspired by a recurring dream I used to have about endlessly sinking in a deep ocean I came up with this ambient-ish track. Didn't occur to me to look up what a dream like that can mean until recently and it turns out there are both negative and positive interpretations possible if one is to believe all-knowing Google. 

On a desperate note "To dream of sinking represents feelings of slow loss, despair, or losing ground. You are feeling overwhelmed or unable to stop a negative situation from getting worse. A fear of unstoppable failure. Someone or something is dragging you down. You may be experiencing low self-esteem and confidence. Needing help that is either not available or that you are not being assertive enough about asking for. Feeling pressure to make a decision or change before total embarrassment occurs. A situation that is deteriorating. Feelings about your worst fears becoming a reality. Feelings about being unable to help others. Feeling that you can’t stop your life from getting worse."

Now, I can't remember ever feeling like that when I was having this dream - it's been over 10 years since the last one. But, who knows, maybe those were my subconscience feelings.
 
I prefer a more positive view "A dream about sinking may reflect an unpleasant stage of your life that is coming to an end. Problems or bad people that seem to be slowly going away on their own. Experiencing your enemies succumbing to humiliation."

That last sentence may be wishful thinking haha...., not that I can think of any enemies.

Feel free to comment about your own recurring dreams if you have any and enjoy the music. 

Some fellow Soundclouders have already shared their dreams with me:
- a professor showing up in class with no clothes
- teeth falling out and rattling 
- the gourmet chef
- reading a book word for word
- car crash savior
- pulling a moving earth together with a lifeline

DREAM REPEAT

Helplessly I’m falling
Needlessly I’m drowning

Endless depths swallow me
A faint light shimmering

It’s an endless sinking feeling
I’m not awake, I’m not asleep
I can stop, and then I start again.

It’s all over
We can look ahead
The danger is past
Our time is now
Fate in our hands
Your hands
My hands

It’s all over
All over
All over

Fathoms above crushing me
Creatures below beckoning

It’s an endless sinking feeling
I’m not awake, I’m not asleep
I can stop, and then I start again.

It’s all over
All over
It’s all over

Dream Repeat

sweet sunshine,
don't turn your light on me
come with us animals 
in the skies we play
we prey on the cold night
we play in the jungle light
and if you’re one of us
we wouldn’t have to fight

we live by the burning lake
been drinking in the rays
I wish I could save the world
or make it my new fireplace

I’m a sun king, 
an animal in heat
breeding by a fiery light
burning up the street

hey sweet sunshine,
turn your light on me
an animal you wanted and,
an animal I’ll be

come out sunlight
make them bleed
you wanted fire and
burning in the streets

hey sunshine
you remember me
I’m still your animal and
the fire in your sheets

yes you’re my sun queen
and when it finally rains
you’ll see fireballs and
burning in the streets
