Psychedelic Rock!!! - David k. A. Spencer.

My old mac  dieth a death so here's a bit of a kitchen table bash around .   My fingers are not what they were so i play what i can find.  someday I'll probably wind up bashing out a beat with my head on the refrigerator and singing along. I hope you are all well. If you're dead you'll obviously know it's nothing to worry about...                                I woke up this morning or at least I think that I did...I found my medication and I wrestled with the lid....my bathroom mirror is telling me that I'm not half the man I used to be.....

. I've got a hole in my gut I'm really feeling my age, I'm paying the price for my wicked little ways, I was out last night with a woman from the moon, she says that better days are coming and they're coming soon but I ain't half the man I used to be.

Half the Man. ( Stevek )

A message from Lyrical Smirk:

“I’d really love to shine some positive light and fresh air in this lil’ community of friendships. So here's the concept. It is, basically, ‘One Big Collaboration’. Anyone who’d like to join in just needs to send Gary a message to the Mountain Songs page and include one downloadable track. He'll do the rest. 
Would prefer original material, ideally not stuff that's already been remixed.
Each and everyone who joins gets credited for their work / efforts.
Newbies / Amateurs / Pro's, it doesn't matter, ALL can join. This really does include everyone…non-musicians & ‘listeners’ very welcome. 
Every Soundclouder can pick one track of their own which they want remixed. Don't be intimidated by other Soundclouders work. Remember, this is designed to be a fun project and the positive vibe is what counts.
What styles? It doesn't really matter as long as it's easy on the ears!"

Stultifera Navis (Das Narrenschiff = Ship Of Fools) refers to a book of the same title by Sebastian Brant (1457-1521), first published in 1494. The work was translated into latin in 1497.

The picture shows a detail of a caricature on woodcut by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) produced for the work.





Stultifera Navis

1
The fridge is out of order
The food’s about to spoil
There’s something 'bout the water
And there’s big loss of oil
The captain has gone crazy
And the signaller disappeared
Some men are said to hang lazy
Somewhere in the rear

2
Blind passangers had been seen
On deck on stormy nights
They were wearing red raincoats
And their eyes looked pale and white
The rudder had been broken
The first officer’s missing tools
A three-band had been token
Upon this ship of fools

3
And in reality there’s nearly nobody
Who knows where it is heading to
But in fantasy there must be
Somebody who runs the show 
(rep.)

Where ever we go who ever we meet from our home town to around the world we all smile in the same language. 
It only means one thing and cuts through any greed and culture.
We all suffer in some shape or form but a smile can change a million things.
So smile it’s a language we all know.  😊

Broken Pearls

Every year I try to make a little song to commemorate remembrance day in November. The month of August is also historically significant, though.  In August 1914 the massed cartoon insanity of old-world braided huffing and puffing empires slammed into stark reality when over the course of a few days: Germany declared war on Russia, France and Belgium; Britain declared war on Germany; Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia; France and Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary; Japan declared war on Germany; and Austria-Hungary declared war on Belgium. Dear God.

Herbert Burden was one of many young men who decided to do “the right thing” and lied about his age to enlist.  He endured 10 months of fighting, shelling and gas attacks in the front line trenches in France, lost many friends and was himself eventually hospitalised.  On discharge from hospital his battalion received orders to return to the front line.  Herbert went AWOL and was found at a neighbouring regiment where he said he had gone to comfort a friend who had lost a brother in the fighting.  

Herbert became the youngest British soldier to be executed by firing squad for desertion.  

He was seventeen years old, alone, given no defence at his trial, blindfolded, arms tied behind his back, lashed to a post and shot at dawn on 21st July 1915.

God rest his soul.

The picture is of a statue of Herbert which stands at the British National Memorial Arboretum as part of an installation to commemorate the 306 of their own soldiers executed by the British Army during WW1.

I felt this needed to be done raw in one take so please excuse the rough edges.

Broken Pearls

Come the night, through singing clouds
Of old men crying on war's recall,
Pastel light hits bleeding shrouds
Still defying, backs to wall.
Morphine hymns through organ pipes
Hairs on end, standard unfurled
Shell shock sins 'neath starburst lights
Set to defend their broken pearls.

His mother spoke through spilling tears
God beside, with angel choirs.
He then awoke – pain chilling sears
Deep inside his burning fires.
Camphor dreams through ether prayers
Uniformed boys mustard gas swirls
Just seventeen, mere child's nightmares.
Discarded toy, of broken pearls.

Weeping crows in ¾ time
Belie the crown, lay down to die.
Wreaths below, left countersigned
Head bowed down, blindfolded eyes.
Hot leaded hopes absolve the rich
Salvo thunder suspends our world
On posted ropes slumped heroes twitch
And rent asunder our broken pearls.

Broken Pearls

Finally working the Volca Drum back into the mix after not having used it for a little while. I like the lofi effect it gives the drum beat. With this track I leaned a little heavier into the Vital VST I've been experimenting with, also used the old minilogue and microfreak. Thanks for listening!

Kaleidoscopic Sun

you were a soul, never meant for this life.
this world is hard, full of trouble and strife.
you were so sensitive, you took it all to heart.
nobody saw, you were breaking apart.

people like you, don't speak out........people like you, full of doubt.

i saw your sadness, is it the same as mine?
another day, wont it turn out fine?
i saw your face,, i never saw the signs.
i didn't know, it was the end of the line.

people like you, don't make a sound......people like you, quietly drown.

such helpul words, are very hard to find.
i wasn't close to you, i didn't know your mind.
i feel so sad, full of sorrow.
now that i know, there's no tomorrow.

people like you, sensitive soul........people like you, leave a hole.

now that you're gone.......and we know your fate.
many tears at your funeral, but now it's all too late.
we must learn from this, nobody is the same.
we can't carry on like this, we should be full of shame.

people like you, dont make a sound........people like you, quietly drown.
people like you, sensitive soul........people like you, whose life we stole.

Sensitive soul.

Night Trees.

Glory to JAH. 🙏🕊

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
