Seagull Soundtracks for a Planet in Peril

Mixed for Lillithe

Although this song was written by me about one of my most loved places in the world, I heard Nat sing it when we were figuring out how to present it, and I just had to have her stick with the lead vocals as she sings it so beautifully, even though she has never set foot in the great Mountain State (now she wants to!). So we just changed "she" to "he" and it all fell into place. It tells the story of someone who has watched a lover leave and seeks solace in the Wonderful and Wild of West Virginia. The state became a bit of a passion for me since I first visited our friends in Keyser when I was still a boy. And it still represents a place of reflection and spirit to me. A place where one can find themselves and answer the deeper questions perhaps. And that's what happens in this song. It celebrates the wonders of this beautiful place even while it describes the complicated challenges of this world. This is dedicated to the entire Campbell family, without whom I'd not know the beauty I've tried to capture in this simple song. I especially want to recognize Margaret & Richard as the head of that Campbell clan, bless them both in heaven. As long as there are mountains and rivers in West Virginia, their memory will live large.

Lyrics;
Hey, West Virginia, I’m crossing your state line
It’s me again, hello old friend, it’s been a long, long time
Four windows open, to feel your mountain air
To breathe you in, rememberin’, the child in me out there
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
I know he’s leaving, I just came to tell you so
These backroads lead me back to me
To watch your Greenbrier flow
Yeah, he’s moving on now, you knew long ago
It’s what I do, so much like you, 
They come, they love, they go
You see I need your wisdom, your reassuring smile
I just want to listen, to the wonderful and wild
He loved my stories, and sunshine, wind and rain 
But like before, he’s found the door, and here I am again
Hey West Virginia, the tall grass crickets call 
The stars appear, much closer here
You catch ‘em when they fall
You always catch me when, I fall
You always catch me when,
You always catch me when, I fall

Jim Croce has always been a favorite singer/songwriter of mine.  
I decided to do another one of his tunes.  I wonder what great
song he might have written if he was still with us?  Thanks
so much for listening.

Lyrics by David L. Graham of McTown Music

Pinocchio
V1:
He don't understand the why
Lies are what he does
Doesn't know what's wrong or right
Just hangs onto what he wants

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

CH:
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never heard of Pinocchio

V2:
He don't understand my pain
Been this way his whole life
Always wants it his way
Brings the darkness to light

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

Chorus

BR:
I'm walking away now, but he can't believe
That I could give up on promises and leave
But he doesn't remember his promises to me
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio

Lost Highway is a country music song written and recorded by blind country singer-songwriter Leon Payne in 1948. Hank Williams Sr. recorded it in 1949 and the rest is history. This is my raw one take version of this great song.

Afraid To Face  My Own Reflection In The Mirror

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

Transylvania Forever Dark (The Return Of Prince Vlad)DEMO

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.  Hear more of their fine work:

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)

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?

I LOVE the ocean...and Billy, too 😆

I hope you'll have fun with my new Track?! 😏

Giant Bones, Inscriptions In Stones

N.B. 11/07/2023: at last I think I managed to delete the more disturbing noises!! And keep quite the best of the recording ! Hope you better enjoy the song now 🎈 … and the new cover art 🤩 closer to the chorus ❤️‍🔥

it's been a dilemna to choose wether or not I would publish that track:
1. After hours and hours of work on mastering to remove the huge amount of noises on that old tape recording , it was only half a success...
2. I love this song!... despite its not perfect sound

Hope you’ll validate the option 2 :)

Bruno (future Loony) wrote the song, programmed drums, played the bass and the guitars, and sung.
Composed in July 16th 1989
Recorded in January 1992 on Yamaha 4 tracks

The song has been played live with the Catsbleed between 92 and 94, meeting a bit of success 🎈

Lyrics:
Chorus
The joint it ain’t the joint—-until I smoke it in
And The club it ain’t the joint ——until I roll on in
Now you know it ain’t the joint ——until I smoke it in—-
until I smoke it in—-until I smoke it in

Verse1
The club it ain’t the joint until I roll on in
and she looks at me ——-like where the hell you been 
But I run a tight game—-smiling at her friend 
you take your time ——when you’re ready baby——-roll on in 
Cause she ain’t got no papers —— ain’t got no ring
So if I don’t come around, we’ll it ain’t a thing
For one—-I don’t keep score ——I just roll with it 
If it feels good, I explore —-yeah ——that’s —real-slick 
party here or next door —decisions made real quick 
and I don’t need no dance floor ———-or a sidekick
getting down real hardcore —and——the swagger’s sick 
that’s just—- what I’m built for ——so just— take your pick
keep you  body moving worldwide, don’t sweat it 
and the count is like a landslide —-yo—-I don’t slip 
inside or outside——If it ——rains——just—-let it 
It’s a journey ——not just a ride —and—I’m glad -we met
and the flow ——is like high tide ———-remix an edit

Chorus

Verse2
holding down my block——city —state ——and nation 
leveled up like a worldwide radio station 
Just keep in mind —-this is Just —-how I roll 
give it all ——to the music——body—heart—-and soul
Put my cards on the table and I’ll never fold 
cause I’m holding all the aces —-and I’m in control 
follow now let’s go deeper down this rabbit hole 
Dan put the track together ——and ——it’s winter cold
Now—-I’m dropping these —bars ——-like I’m on parole 
make it rain ——shake that booty —-round the metal pole 
Twerk it—-Twerk it ——ass Poppin    ——It’s on cruise control 
Throw it up ——switch it back ——like a centerfold 
Now-I’m going for a touchdown——like the Super Bowl
come on —-go again —-tell a friend —let me in 
dropping cheddar on the floor—- make it rain again
shake that ass a little more ——-back it up and bend 
over like you did before ————cause ——I’m—off the chain

Verse1

Take Me Down  - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

There’s a ghost star light
Somewhere in the night
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

I’m out on a limb
And the odds are slim
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

Out on this side
Everything’s hazy
Nothing’s ever clear
Out on this side 
It’s so crazy
How far the way appears

Some leave tracks
To the moon and back
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

Out on this side
Everything’s hazy
Nothing’s ever clear
Out on this side 
It’s so crazy
How far the way appears

When worlds collide
A spark survives
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

There’s a ghost star light
Somewhere in the night
If ever I be found
Baby take me down

Take Me Down

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, Music, Production and Mix by Riff Beach
Re-mixed by Riff 1/13/19  

THE UNFORTUNATE SON
                             
BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

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.
