Your Choice - Video on my YouTube channel

What an honor to add my acoustic guitars to this collaboration with ace electric guitarist, keyboardist, and producer Seagull, Soundcloud's Poet Laurette Peter, Soundcloud's Poet of the piano, Debra Buesking, and vocalists Clara, and Snowflake.  With this visionary and epic trilogy, we explore the human condition and the choices we must make that will determine our destiny as a race.  It is a longer work but a rewarding listen if taken as a whole, but can still be appreciated in smaller bites if time doesn't allow a nearly 16 minute commitment.  The first segment is "Lost" until 4:55, "Lament is from 4:56-10:14, and "Ghost of a Dragon" until the end.  
To experience the full impact of the "trilogy", one must see Seagull's superb and deeply moving film with "Next Choice" as the soundtrack; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCA7MZSvEwI
Follow these fine artists:

Next Choice (Seagull, Peter, Debra Buesking, Snowflake, Clara, and David)

Building from "Next Choice", Seagull's existential examination of choices mankind faces that will determine our destiny, he moves to the x-factor of Artificial Intelligence, how it is impacting us now, and how it may impact our future as a race depending on who holds the reigns of its development and application.  It is at once both scary and promising, but we must choose "who programs the programmer".  Join us here in the musical and spoken-word exploration; and for the full effect (hence "soundtrack" in the tag) see Seagull's video/movie at https://www.youtube.com/user/wcifarout.  It is a beautiful and moving experience.  It is an honor for me to collaborate internationally with Peter, our preeminent Soundcloud poet and songwriter, and musician/producer extraordinaire Seagull who's heart is as big as his vision.

Track list:
Night NoVo--David
Icicle Pie and spoken word poetry--Peter
First River--Seagull
Lyrics on First River:

A chip in my head, it feels sad
I lost touch to the world around
Are my memories my own or planted truth?
Level two:
Will the man disappear or will Ai help us
Really help us on an infected planet where we live
In peace and freedom?
Chorus:
Am I man or machine?
Or stuck in a dream, in a dream, or just a machine
Level three:
Second voice "This is not a dream"
Where is sense and morality with new technology?
Why are the warmongers in the first line
And everyone else dropped behind?
Chorus:
Am I man or machine?
Or stuck in a dream, in a dream
Or just a machine?

Last Choice (Seagull, Peter, David)

Exploring the underworld, Izanagi searches for his wife Izanami…
This track is part of the project of my friend Hideo @soundsofthekosmos. It is an open invitation to collab by exploring japanese myths.

Yomi-no-kuni - ft. Zanshin 残真

With this Epilogue is the summing up of Seagull's trilogies about our planet's past, present, and future and how it will be affected.  And because it is our home, how WE will be affected, especially our children, and our children's children extending to generations, by the choices we make now.  Seagull made an excellent video for which this is the soundtrack; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QezNFs5rYJE  
It has been an honor to share this vision with Seagull, to contribute as an artist with him, Peter, and Debra Buesking.  It has been a meaningful journey.  The children now have something to say as we listen to the "Epilogue", but whose children; human, android, or both? 
More excellent artistry to be found:

C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is a green-ish comet that was discovered on March 2 last year.
It reached its closest point to the Sun on January 12. The Green Comet will be at its closest to Earth—and at its brightest in our skies—on February 1.
Comets are small bodies made of ice and dust. Their orbits around the Sun carry them from the far, outer parts of the solar system to the inner solar system, where they can become visible from Earth.
When comets are close to the Sun, they warm up. Sometimes—but not always—they develop distinctive tails of gas and dust. The head of the comet can glow green due to the presence of a chemical called diatomic carbon.

DO RIGHT

Do Right (1964 B-25N-12)

"Know Your Fear"

The eye that sees everything beyond 
Asks me hey dude why there is no bond
I answer with spirit its not how you die
But looking at creation its how you first cry

The truth is i see that through my eternal eye 
But isn't it so sad that people do not fly
It makes me really wonder what happened to this world
That likes to live a being that is of soulless soul.

If sight is your spirit, thought is your feeling
End this fucking shit set a new beginning
Make time work for you to avoid those rotten eyes
By spirit body soul to kill what never dies.

Now that you are breathing the air of our infinity
Do not disrupt the messages to end this fake sincerity
Will start to live this trip again all beings together,
And maybe in our hearts we kill our sacred feather.

The one that makes you fly deep down the gap of soul
To bring out to the surface eruption to the whole
To set not a beginning or just another end
But starting to remember whats left to live ahead.

LYRICS BY Ragias Christos 
Enjoy the fear!!

Know Your Fear (Lyrics on Description)

Link follows with all background on this Gem, first written and performed by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). Most poignantly later delivered by the great Johnny Cash (RIP), and included in a mesmerizing video featuring this cut from his highly acclaimed 2002 album - 'American IV, The Man Comes Around'. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2727
This one was recorded in my own AcoustaTronic style long ago. Recently resurrected the files and ReMiXed. These haunting, memorable lyrics speak just as meaningfully to The Opioid and Heroin Crisis today, as when Reznor first penned the Original. Hoping tragic losses and addictions affecting so many continue receiving all needed support, attention, and coordination in working toward the elimination of this mind-boggling situation. Lyrics follow:
Hurt
Reznor (Cash)
I hurt myself today 
To see if I still feel 
I focus on the pain 
The only thing that's real 
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting 
Try to kill it all away 
But I remember everything
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns 
Upon my liar's chair 
Full of broken thoughts 
I cannot repair 
Beneath the stains of time 
The feelings disappear 
You are someone else 
I am still right here
What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt
If I could start again 
A million miles away 
I would keep myself 
I would find a way

HURT AcoustaTronic Version

HURT - Riff Beach

Antiquities in Tupelo ©
2019 LYRICS BY Tony Harris (BMI)
(with some tweaks by Riff)
Music/Vocal/Mix by Riff Beach
The cover art is the Painting hanging in the Shop 

Walking into an Antique Store
On a cold Winter's day
I noticed a painting…...
That I hadn't seen before
With a Guitar in the Center
Well, my mind, it went back in time
To when Elvis lived here
Such a fine picture
Strollin' through the shop
Well, he was on my mind
Yeah, Tupelo….
That's where he learned to play
On an old flat top
(Chorus)
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
Let your mind relax….and float away
Down in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day
And you know, all his Daddy could afford
Was a two-room house
But, it kept him from being bored….
Playing music over in East Tupelo
This 'Ol Southern town
Why, it just has music in it's soul
You can feel it in the air - everywhere
As you drive around
In Tupelo…..
We were Antiquin' in Tupelo
What a fun thing to do
Just Antiquin' in Tupelo
On a cold Winter's day

Antiquities In Tupelo - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Riff Beach - Original

Remembering old friends and places with such great images.  This song
was written by Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen Jr,. while they attended
Texas A&M in the late 70's. It was released by Lyle in 1986.  What an American singer and songwriter.  A gem of a song

This Old Porch   (  cover - Lyle Lovett)

Free Bird ( Lynyrd Skynrd Copy ) A Special Tribute by Glenny G

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.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
