Borderland  - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

There’s a wire fence running east
Keeping Eden out of bounds
And he speaks unto the least
Like a Sermon on the Mount
And as the living often do
Find a million ways to die
I was born loving you
A truth I still deny

It’s my inheritance they say
A house with many rooms
But I be homeless night and day
Until I’m in the tomb
Behind that solid door
Something else lies in
And when you open up you know
It was the same old thing

Now you and I we learned
That freedom’s golden chains
Caused Paradise to burn
And we both took the blame
Still shaken from the fall
And I can’t get back up
They all are prison walls
Everything I touch

I’m crawling through the sands
To the setting sun
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome

Trip 4 Sale

Ancient Aliens 👽

Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, Guitar and Mix by Phillip Clarkson

WHEN I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING
IT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT I SAW
SITTING NEXT DOOR TO MY HOME
WAS A REMINDER OF RIGHT AND WRONG

CHORUS
I WAS RAISED IN THE COUNTRY
NEXT TO A COUNTRY CHURCH
AND EVRY SUNDAY MORNING
I KNEW I WOULD BE GOING
THEY SANG AMAZING GRACE
HOW SWEET THE SOUND
IN THAT LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH

WHEN UNCLE SAM CAME CALLING
I HAD TO ACCEPT THE CALL
ON HER KNEES MAMA PRAYED
IN THAT LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH

(REPEAT CHORUS)

PEOPLE CAME FROM ALL AROUND
TO SING THE GLORY DOWN
AND IT'S WHERE I MET JESUS
IN THAT LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH

(REPEAT CHORUS)

THEY SANG AMAZING GRACE
HOW SWEET THE SOUND
IN THAT LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH

(c)2012 Lyrics by Tony Harris

DeeP. and the Couch King EP collectable stickers and zine available on Bandcamp here:

I am always trying to be more neutral and nonjudgemental in my experiences of myself and others. 

Just so you all know, I am healthy, happy, and doing well. Life is good for me. I am very blessed. 

Sending nonjudgemental listening and witnessing out into the world. 

Big thanks to DeeP for passionately inviting me to join in on another project and choosing the perfect beat for me to channel the shadow muses. Huge thanks to Russ for laying down the cool experimental guitar work and taking a break from mixing and mastering duties.

Lyrics:

She was found alone dead in her bed
27 years and already dead
He went and took one straight to the head
And it took 3 days before any knew he was dead
She was introverted 
Lived reclusive
Took the path of seclusion to her conclusion
After leaving prison  
An impoverished condition was the state he lived in
Without any of his friends and fans in the ending

In the ending
In the ending
In the ending 

Without anyone around in the ending 
Without anyone to love in the ending
Without anyone who cares in the ending
Without anyone with prayers in the ending

I’m thinkin’ a popping the pills again, again
I’m fixin’ ta shoot up my veins again, again
I’m drinkin’ away my will again, again
I’m sinkin’ into a hole again, 
Wastin’ my life on a dream that always pending
Hating everything that I waste all my time making 
Who am I kidding I’m nothing I’m just pretending 
Everyday digging my self a little bit closer to the ending
 
There were moments when the pain went away
When the weight of life didn’t seem to weigh
Fleeting moment suggesting to stay  
While the rest of life was pushing towards dismay  
Feeling hopeless
With misguided purpose
Constant pursuing with nothing ever accruing 
Is just worthless 
What’s the meaning of being around others when
Others are really only attending to mending their own feelings in the ending    

I don’t care, I don’t really care, I don’t give a fuck, I don’t give a damn, 
I don’t give a shit

Lyrics


Holiness is air
Air is emptiness
Filling the voids in my heart
All the colours swirl in a visionless
Pool of pity
I'm giving I'm giving I'm giving
Until there's nothing left

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got
One two three
Things I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons I can see
I got one two three
Spirits in me
One two three

Loneliness is love
Love is endlessness
Chasing a butterfly
Breathing in the air by the waters edge
Sparkles and sun and ice
Everything flows and comes back again
Just like a dragonfly

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got one two three
Things I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons i can see
I got
One two three
Spirits in me
One two three

Wild as a meadow
That knows no bounds
Living in my mind
I'm walking and sleeping
And hoping and leaving
Until I'm nothing left

One two three
Good reasons to believe
I got one two three
Thing I had to leave
One two three
Good reasons I can see
One two three
Spirits in me
One two three
One two three
Good reasons to believe 
One two three
One two three

Original song by Beth Williams from her ONE EMPTY CHAIR cd. 
LIVE PERFORMANCE : https://youtu.be/tjxxj_iyng0 (with story)
LYRIC VIDEO - https://youtu.be/vwbtcn1SWsE

She looks from her watch to the loud ticking clock
then at the pink stick em note on the calendar in her hand
Retama park it says, in big bold black letters
six P.M, May ten, and it’s signed sam
Though it’s barely two , she says ” I can’t leave this room.
There’s so much to do & Sam, Sam will be here soon

In a pastel of colors, hair neatly brushed
ready & waiting, cool breeze on the dust
She moves from the window, to the open door
then back to the same stare in the same spot once more
Not glancing at the row on strangers hanging in her room
moves back to the door cause Sam, Sam will be here soon
(Sam will be here, Sam will be here, Sam will be here soon)

CHORUS
She doesn’t know what year it is
Where that woman in the mirror lives
She only knows Sam will be here soon
(Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here soon)

In a garden of flowers, beyond the windowsill
honeybees suckle until they get their fill
A thousand times over, the window to the door
she glides like a skater, cross the hardwood floor
No one passing by can tell you why she stays in her room
singing oh so softly “Sam….Sam will be here soon”
(Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here, Sam. will be here soon

Sam Will Be Here Soon - Beth Williams

YouTube: https://youtu.be/NeK4K0Q-eyc.  Website: https://DAVEHEFFNER.COM. Featuring Anna and Ari Rader on vocals. Dave on keyboards and production. Style: Electronic Pop. The message of the song can be best described by the pre-chorus, "You can dream and you can change. All the world is your domain." Several manipulated vocal effects of my voice were added for creative enhancement. Daughter Anna sings the verses and is joined in the chorus by her daughter. I am grateful for the opportunity to have them participate.

Lyrics, Music - Bravei Brasil, RIff Beach
Production - Bravei Brasil
Do you think we’d do anything differently…..
When It’s all over?
Oh, Maybe, we’ll make a whole new start….
Or, will we just begin where it all ends?
(Chorus)
Oh, Yeah!
Oh, don’t you know?
You simply must Keep the Love 
Let it flow and let it always grow
Oh, Yeah - Deep within your Heart….
There’s been so much sadness
And, It’s lasted far too long
Oh, but you know we stole a little gladness
And we did our best to seem strong…Oh, Yes, we Did….
And, When it’s all over, will we survive?
Overcoming this unseen Enemy
As we learn to better understand
Will you remain a Friend to Me?
And, if you need, I’ll lend a helping hand
Don’t You know?
Oh, Yeah!
Quando tudo acabar ©

Você acha que faríamos algo diferente ...
Quando tudo estiver acabado?
Ah, talvez, vamos dar um novo começo ...
Ou vamos começar onde tudo acaba?
(Refrão)
Oh sim!
Ah, você não sabe?
Você simplesmente deve manter o amor
Deixe fluir e deixe crescer sempre
Oh, sim - profundamente dentro do seu coração….
Tem tanta tristeza
E durou muito tempo
Oh, mas você sabe que roubamos um pouco de alegria
E nós fizemos o nosso melhor para parecermos fortes… Ah, sim, nós fizemos….
E, quando tudo acabar, vamos sobreviver?
Superando esse Inimigo Invisível
À medida que aprendemos a entender melhor
Você continuará sendo meu amigo?
E, se você precisar, eu ajudarei
Você não sabe?
Oh sim!
