Beautiful track, David. All performances are great. Fantastic collab!

@hearthouserecords: Thank you my friend. Honored to be in such good company:)

What a brilliant collaboration.  All parts were outstandingly performed & blended together.  Amazing work.

A fabulous track and production David and friends......

What a wonderful creation this is! A pleasure! 👍👍

Oh I like this one. All the voices blending so well to bring forth the narrative dimension to the song.

Synapse

The track picture is a common sight in the canyons of Colorado, and probably all of the Rocky Mountain states.  The sun can be shining while driving in the canyon, but miles ahead there could have been a torrential rainstorm that triggered a flash flood and it is coming...quickly.  You literally have to abandon your vehicle and climb the canyon wall or get washed away.  
The sign and song are metaphorical as well.  When flash floods of circumstance happen in our lives, we must seek higher ground so as not to be washed away in the emotional maelstrom.  Such was the case with Pat and his cancer diagnosis twenty months ago, and with my good friend and collaborator Elmer Stone who unexpectedly lost his beloved wife Bonnie a few days ago.  They are seeking and finding higher ground in their faith, families, and friends.  
A big thank you to Pat for sending me the "ditty" a while back but recently rediscovered that serves as the "higher ground" in the song.

TESTO
Confuso galleggiava 
Cercando la sua strada 
Pensando a quel sorriso
Di quando era partito 



E la notte non passava
Col vento un po’ sospeso
Parlò col primo uomo
Lasciandolo sorpreso
Sai perché sono qua 
Il sogno mi rende libero 
Lo so non mi giudicherai 
Siamo due storie da scrivere 


E quanta storia da scrivere
Per chi come te 
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso dei sogni ti occuperai 





Lo so per te è strano 
Ma non sei tu il
Fallito
Soltanto per il fatto
Che non mi punti il dito 
Non mi hai guardato male 
Né dall’alto al basso
Sei solo inciampato 
Come molti sul mio passo





Sai ti ho capito già
Sei uno con troppa sensibilità 
E non sai quanto , quanto ti costerà 
Ma quante pagine che scriverai 



Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai 



Ma in fondo sai
Siamo simili 
Ma non hai ancora perso come me
Chissà se questo mondo mi ricorderà 
Chissà se questo incontro ti servirà 


Quanta storia da scrivere 
Per chi come te
Non vive mai
Quanta ne scriverai 
E adesso per i sogni combatterai

LYRICS
He floated bewildered
Searching for his way
Thinking of that smile
From when he had departed
And the night wouldn't pass
With the wind somewhat suspended
He spoke with the first man
Leaving him surprised
Do you know why I'm here?
The dream makes me free
I know you won't judge me
We have two stories to write

And so much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will take care of your dreams

I know it's strange for you
But you are not the failure
Just because you don't point your finger at me
You didn't look at me badly
Not from top to bottom
You just stumbled
Like many in my path.
You see, I already understand you
You're someone with too much sensitivity
And you don't know how much, how much it will cost you
But how many pages you will write

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

But deep down you know
We're similar
But you haven't lost like me yet.
Who knows if this world will remember me
Who knows if this encounter will serve you

How much history to write
For someone like you
Who never truly lives
How much will you write?
And now you will fight for your dreams

Nuff Said…
Dedicated to Jason Hines, aka “The Speaker-Breaker”
Thank you my brother for always pushing for another verse, another track, another production…
Celebrating you, 🌹R.I.P. my brother…✌🏽💚


Moves you make——I catch it from the corner of my eyes 
Catch it from the corner of my eyes
Just a little too late but wisdom states 
You’re not really here you died———————(when we’re here—-time flies)
I catch it from the corner of my eyes
I catch it from the corner of my eyes
I catch it from the corner of my eyes

I can feel you ——I can see you 
is it really true ——reaching out like you do 
No shouts —no cries ——when angels speak
No truth —-no lies ——to compel the weak
Have a safe trip ——have a safe journey 
As long as we remember you—-you’ll never be lonely 
————you’ll never be lonely
you’ll never be lonely

Started something—-I’m feeling it everywhere 
Ghost or spirit—-between here and there 
I’m zoning in——— it’s becoming quite clear
Matter of fact—-it make me feel——self-aware 
Everything smooth—-now it’s all ——slow motion 
I’m still here——————is that a blessing?
Caught between the drama—-the lights and the shadows
No more fear—————-another lesson 
Heaven and hell —-you believed with a passion 
Sitting back not your style—-was a man of action
Answered the call your reassigned —-a new mission 
No time for goodbyes—-there’s never satisfaction 

We’ll hold on —-you let go—
No obligation no regrets —-just peace and love——--it’s all
It all a celebration —-It all a celebration—- bro
 
I can feel you ——I can see you 
is it really true ——reaching out like you do 
No shouts —no cries ——when angels speak
No truth —-no lies ——to compel the weak
Have a safe trip ——have a safe journey 
As long as we remember you—-you’ll never be lonely 
———you’ll never be lonely—-
you’ll never be lonely

Started something—-I’m feeling it everywhere 
Ghost or spirit—-between here and there 
I’m zoning in——— it’s becoming quite clear
Matter of fact—-it make me feel——self-aware 
Everything smooth—-now it’s all ——slow motion 
——-I’m still here—-is that a blessing?
Caught between the drama—-the lights and the shadows
No more fear—-another lesson

It’s All Connected

Because of the Marshal's popularity in the first installment, we thought a sequel would be fun as he embarks on another daring mission of bringing Old-West law and order to another planet where criminal mischief has broken down the rule of celestial law. Central Galactic Intelligence(CGI)received a frantic call for help that anarchists had taken over a peaceful and prosperous world and needed the Marshal to set things right.  The track begins with him and his crew (Curtis, Seagull, and David)being cleared for takeoff.
A big thank you to Curtis Gremmel(center-left in the mix) for his superb playing, Seagull @farout-music-studio for his visionary and production expertise, and Clara for being the angelic voice of CGI.

Many thanks for all of your kind plays , shares ,reposts and playlists.

Silly Games

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
 This is a song that Artur wrote in his unique, original, and signature surf rock style, and passed it on to Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  I asked Artur the meaning of the song's title, and he told me that it refers to the soulmate some people find, who can carry you through anything, even if you or they may be a little crazy. It's about crazy love!
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series

Hear & See

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.
