Written by Carole King and recorded by Everly Brothers in 1962.  Reached # 6 on billboard.  What great music these guys created. So many hits that linger in my mind.  Just enjoying doing this one.

Contours and detours
Written and recorded by TJG May 2024

Life rarely moves in straight lines—and neither does the music. Three Photons returns with "Contours and Detours", a winding, analog-rich meditation on movement, misdirection, and the beauty of the unexpected.

Contours and Detours is my take on Gershwin's Rhythm changes with my own harmonic substitutions throughout. Written in B-flat Major with a Key change in the bridge.

Montez à bord de notre pédalo ! Jump on our pedalboat !

Lyrics (translation test) Climatic ballad!

It’s not normal
It’s way too hot
Tropical days for everyone
Glaciers melting too soon
The southern lands already drowned
We’re cutting down trees / we’re digging underwater
Only To stuff one animal
In our not-so-global fishbowl
Soon, no stream will flow anymore
On my banjo
I couldn’t care less
I do like the birds, like the cicadas
On my banjo
I’m trying hard
I do like the birds, like the cicadas
Despite tropical cyclones
They invite you to dance on cruise ships
In the newspaper, on the radio
They praise the frugal, they sell you the warehouse
Turn on the AC, switch on the fan
Or play Russian roulette at the casino
We all want to die as eco-friendly men
But not too fast, as Georges sang at Bobino
On my pedal boat
I’m the one pedaling
No more birds, no more cicadas
On my pedal boat
I’m trying hard
No more birds, no more cicadas
A banal depressing ballad
Great fatigue from these scenarios
Wanting to bury my head in the sand
Dancing a ballet of daft ostriches
On my banjo I’m hurting myself
No more birds, no more cicadas
On my pedal boat, I’m the one pedaling
When there’s no more water, we’ll all be in the hold

Balade Climatique - Reggae

With the advent of our democratically chosen fascist plague looming I'm going to reprise this one which is basically about -- wait a minute I don't do  "it's about's"  --  it's about whatever you think it's about.  I feel it now more than four years ago when I wrote it.

Do you see the same things I do 
in morbid visions of the night
I'll confess I'm in need of some discipline
a circumcision of the mind

a single moment's indecision can mean the difference of a life
wait for the signs of antipathy
I'll be coming right behind

is it time to take our things and go running for the line
there's nothing here that's worthy of the sacrifice
why keep me waiting in the dark
as if you and I were born to all this suffering in our stars

Jacob wrestled in the desert
with an angel who would not give his name
does faith only come to me in my anguish and shame

witness to your own decline
you just lie and tell yourself it's alright

Why Keep Me Waiting

Snowstorm

cheers for having a listen


i think it's time you have to go
but i think you knew this long ago
it happens to the best of us, cast aside and left to rust
you know thats just the way

then the realisation's taken hold 
you been left out in the cold
frozen out the welcome mat, took away and not put back
you know thats just the way

you made your peace now with your past
except some things aren't meant to last
everyone will tell you you'll get through
keep keeping on thats all you do
cos it's the only way

where would you go what would you do
there's a big old world in front of you
and it's hurtin now more than before, through heavens gate to the devils door
you know we lost our way

take a seat it won't be long, all the pain will soon be gone
you know thats just the way
make your mind up right or wrong, the way we're going it won't be long
thats the way

Thats The Way

Lyrics:

I look at your face
I know you can't see me
But I'm right by your side
I hope and I pray
That you will wake up
And be the same you again..

I am holding your hand
Don't know if you can feel it
Squeeze it if you can
I whisper in your ear
Don't know if you can hear me
I'm right by your side..

There is nothing I can do
I just have to wait
Be patient they say
You're such a good man
I need you to fight
And come back to me again

I am holding your hand
Don't know if you can feel it
Squeeze it if you can
I whisper in your ear
Don't know if you can hear me
I am right by your side...

I am holding your hand
Don't know if you can feel it
Squeeze it if you can
I whisper in your ear
Don't know if you can hear me
I am right by your side...
❤️

Hey everyone! Let’s dive into the production of my song, Reason.
We built this track on a foundation of smooth, mid tempo drums, nothing too aggressive, but just enough to keep the groove moving. The kick and snare are tight and punchy, while the hi-hats add a bit of swing to keep things dynamic. There are also some soft percussive layers in the background, giving it a touch of organic feel.
The bassline is one of my favorite parts, it’s deep and warm but never overpowering. We used a mix of a soft sub-bass and a slightly plucked synth bass, making sure it sits just right in the mix. It glues everything together while adding that necessary emotional depth.
The chords are a mix of gentle electric piano and some atmospheric pads, creating that lush, floating vibe. There’s also a light guitar melody weaving in and out, adding a bit of an organic touch to contrast the smooth synth textures.
For the vocals, we went for a really close, intimate sound. There’s a slight reverb and delay to give it space, but we kept the main vocal crisp and upfront. The harmonies are soft but powerful, creating a layered effect that builds emotion throughout the track.
You’ll hear little details like soft vocal chops in the background, light reverb tails that add depth, and some reversed synths swelling in and out. These small elements make the track feel alive and evolving.
Overall, Reason is about capturing that late night, introspective energy, smooth, soulful, and full of feeling. Hope you guys love it as much as I do!

This is an old traditional Malagasy song,
we did for you 

Kitana on vocals 
Rina on piano

Mifankatiava ihany
Raha mbola velona aina
Tsy misy toy izany ny mampifaly saina

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina re

Ny maty efa lasa
Tsy azontsika antsoina
Isika no mikasa
Ny ratsy hadinoina

Koa raha tsy fotoana ela
No hipetrahana eto
Andeha re
Andeha re mba hifamela
Andeha hifamela mba tsy harahin-tsento
Mba tsy harahin-tsento
Andeha re(Andeha re)
Mba hifamela
Mba tsy arahin-tsento

tranlation:
Let’s love one another
While we are still alive
There’s nothing more joyful than that for the soul

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

The dead are already gone
We can no longer call them back
It’s up to us now
To let go of the wrongs

So if our time here
Is not for long
Let us go
Let us go and forgive each other
Let us forgive, so no sorrow remains
So no sorrow remains
Let us go (Let us go)
To forgive
So sorrow won’t follow

And For All The Above

The long anticipated;) follow up has arrived.  I begin the song with a brief reprise of "Two Faced" to set the stage.  After the cold and bluster of March, the gentleness of spring and early summer is felt with a walk in the park.
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to my ode to March and especially the interest shown in the little teaser, epilogue now a more complete thought.  As they say, "take time to smell the flowers":)

Lyrics:
Verse 1
An old man sits on the sidewalk
With glazed stare looks right ahead
He asks for a dime and says it’s such a long time
Since he laid his body on a feather bed
He says he’s one thousand miles from Texas
One thousand miles away

Verse 2
The old man points to his sunken eyes 
And looks up to the cloudless sky
He said “there’s so much in life a body can give
I gave them so much time now they just walk by”
He said he’s one thousand miles from Texas 
With snow falling in his mind

Middle 8
He says “dreams never break your heart
And dreams never let you down 
Every time I close my eyes
I let my mind float away”
“Dreams never break your heart
And dreams never lie to me
Every time I close my eyes
I let my mind float away again.”

Verse 3
So I raised out a hand and lifted him up 
I asked him his name and where he was from 
He said “son I’ve heard your voice before”
I looked closer in his eyes. He did likewise
He said “once I was strong but now I don’t have long
I think you may be my long lost son.”

There to here  Pt. 3

Dreams never break your heart

For those of you not familiar with the management abuse which took the lives of Badfinger's Pete Ham and Tom Evans. They died without seeing any of the benefits from their million selling songs.

"I will not be allowed to love and trust everybody". "This is better".
(Pete Ham's suicide note)



Everything falls into place
The future is secure
The golden boys,the chosen ones
The sellout world tour

Did you get what you deserved baby blue
Day after day
A world without you

Million selling records
Validation from the best
Just four boys from Wales
No one would have guessed

Legal fights and corruption
Greedy businessmen
The took your money took your soul
Again and again

That avaricious businessman 
He bled you dry
All the starry promises
Were nothing but a lie

Six long years 
And nothing to show
A rope a note in a garage
It was time to go

Did you get what you deserved baby blue
Day after day
A world without you

Pete & Tom

Show Me Your Sexy Tattoo, Lyrics Gerald E. Greene

After just posting an old recording of a surf-type tune a couple days ago I remembered how much fun it was and decided to record a new original that I have had on my mind for a while. Sort of mixes a mild surf rock ditty with some Martin Denny exotica. Just a little fun...the mysterious grip of the wild Moon Lagoon.

Moon Lagoon

A contemporary song in a jazz style, recorded live in isolation mode.

Eleanor Rigby

Always loved this tune after hearing  Chet  Atkins brother Jim sing on an old Atkins album.Jim was a jazz guitarist that played with the Les Paul jazz group so he was no slouch on guitar either. Al put thythm and lead on a backing track for this one.

LYRICS

Life is not always bed of roses
Have to go often through time of crisis

But can't keep a good Man Down
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound

No turning back
Keep moving Ahead
No carrying regrets
Keep moving for best

Got to let go sometimes
Leave Illusions behind
Enjoy our Simple Realm
Still Following our Dreams

Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound

No turning back
Keep moving Ahead
No carrying regrets
Keep moving for best

Got to face Reality
Still have space of fantasy
Can still believe in Miracles
Better Thinks could Happen

Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & reborn

Can't keep a good Man Down
He is got heart and he is strong
Can't keep a good Man Down for long
He can rebound & rebound & rebound
Rebound & rebound & rebound & reborn

Rebound & Rebound - Special Cecilia & OMCB

Started with a few simple tracks - vocals, my Martin Acoustic, a little backing vocal, and some quiet harp texturing. Marc Elluse wrapped my tracks with his luscious guitar work and tweaked a mix that just blew my mind. I'm so very proud to be part of this project and cannot say enough about the creativity and skill Marc brought to make this a recognizable cover, but a totally unique one, as well. We didn't want a sub-par soundalike version of this Classic Rock masterpiece. MakaVox Sax (jazzy key synth) in the mix, as well. :D

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.
