watching the explosion of apartments and development here without any thought about the lack of natural resources to support this growth let alone the damage to what is here already for the sake of profit and "tax revenue" is pretty sad the

A brilliant collaboration indeed with rich variations.  The vocals are really impressive.

Such a brilliant collaboration David, enjoyed listening..

A beautifully musical primer to the realities of global water ecology.

Just wonderful .... Great team of musicians  !!!!

amazing collaboration, positive vibes, beautiful voice, great track!   ""

Mayfair Shuffle

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

She's Losing It - Tom Régnier/Jussi Welin/Mark J Bennett/Boon-Suzuki

Dark Night Shadows

Indie rock with a 80’s/90’s vibe …

Start (How did you know ) written Oct 2023 

I’ll start from the beginning 
I was surrounded by love 
And it all became too much 
When I Stood on the cusp 
Of adulthood 
I can see it was never enough 

You had no support but you still remained
The most positive person I’ve ever seen constrained 

How did you know 
I’d hide if love took control
How did you know 
It would all take it’s toll 

You stopped me in my tracks 
I had never felt such a force 
It told me I should reason 
With my darkest thoughts 
Because in the light 
Is where life is taught 

You had no support but you still remained
The most innocent person I’ve seen restrained  
 
How did you know 
I’d hide if love takes control
How did you know 
It would all take it’s toll

What happens when the German-Canadian music duo MOON AND ARIES meet a female Swiss saxophonist? Exactly: a new, romantic, sexy R&B, neo-soul, soul, smooth jazz song by MOON AND ARIES - this time again supported by the live saxophone playing of the wonderful "Joko Magic" (Hanna M.). 

Moon and Aries about their new song: 
“After we romanced our demons for the last time, it's time to romance the ones that matter most. Revive the dormancy of our deepest desires and rebirth them to allow our passion to burn like wildfire from all corners of the Earth. By the way:  if you take the “H” at the end of EARTH and put it at the front, you get HEART.
The heart is the center of it all. Heal your heart, heal your life! As Moon and Aries, we lead with our hearts, and when they are filled to the brim like a warm cup of coffee - anything is possible!”

A Love Revival

Welcome to part 2 of the "Water Planet Project". In this part we see glimpses of the paradise our planet was, on its journey up to the present.  As mankind begins to urbanize and industrialize, the pristine pictures of one of our most important natural resources begin to crack.      
For the best experience, see the visualization of our story which you can find here: www.youtube.com/user/wcifarout.  If time only permits listening to the soundtrack, you will still be able to hear the beauty in Peter's thoughtful words and singing, Ed's lovely electrics, Dan-DT's gorgeous synth arrangements, and my acoustic contribution to Seagull's beautiful song "Milk and Honey Time" that Peter wrote the lyrics for.  
Words are insufficient to express my gratitude to Seagull for his far-ranging vision that brought us all together, and his extraordinary expertise in production that made his vision a reality. 

First song - The Realm Of The Water Fairy by Dan-DT
Second song - Milk & Honey Time by Seagull, David, Ed & Peter
Third song - Whole by Dan-DT & Ed

All narrations, lyrics & vocals by Peter
Contributing vocalist. Clara Sorace

Here you will find the fantastic musicians I share this adventure with:
From Sweden- Seagull: @farout-music-studio
From England - Peter: soundcloud.com/user-264930040/tracks
From France - Dan-DT: @dan-t-3
From Canada - Ed Cunningham: @westtracksmusic

As Soundcloud for some reason does not allow more than 4000 characters, you will find the lyrics to the songs on Seagull's YouTube channel.
We wish you a pleasant musical and visual journey.

Upon This Sea 
Janine Levinson 2023
Guitar and Mix: Jonathan Beckenstein

I don’t get tired, but I get weary   
Feels like my faith abandons me
And from the storm I have no shelter    
I have no boat upon this sea

I don’t feel bad, but I can feel hopeless      
And I can walk, but I lose my feet
I am strong, but I cannot carry    
I have no boat upon this sea
 
Upon this sea   
Upon this sea   
I tread a lifetime 

I am the spring that you will drink from
I give you life and cool your brow
You will not drown, but you will perish
And next to me you will lie down 

Upon this sea  
Upon this sea 
I tread a lifetime

I don’t get tired, but I sure get weary
Feels like my faith abandons me
And from the storm I have no shelter
I have no boat upon this sea

Though lt had been looking Pretty Grim, not to be Thwarted by the mundane problems of the everyday, our seekers of Truth and Condiments Get their house (bus) ln order, Finding incidental Data on the making of the dumpling ln the process. With a full tank,  full bellies, hope ln their hearts, and a large bag of Condiment--They set their sights on Mexico--

Lyric Major Parlay

Sally ls a hero, found a hundred dollar bill and a sack of Skittles
ln between the Cushions of the couch-
Sid and MaryAnn are at the local blood bank
peddling pints of plasma
for fifty bucks a pop-

Maurice and Nostradamus are at the western Union
picking up three hundred dollars
from their grandma ln Tacoma
Gus ls working on the Bus
ln the episcopalian Parklng lot
and even got two hundred dollars from the congregation-

Stu he's got a Visa card which he never uses
Ubered over to the lucky Ladles where he's playing black jack
hoping for a Major Parlay--Hoping for a major Parlay-----

Larry and Roberta, while beggin for some buckshees
and playin music on the corner at the farmers market
met a Sufi sitting on the sidewalk
serenely spouting scripture from the Transcendental Dharma of the Dumpling--

Along with baking soda, salt, wheat and water
A heavy leavening of responsibility ls required ln the making--
And some mushrooms from Oaxaca-lf you wanna make that dumpling, she sald
you're gonna have to go
To Mexico--:)

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.
