Description: A short bit of Retro-Pop fun...thanks for listening!

@enzo1461: Thanks...pleased that you enjoyed it!

Man I can imagine driving down the Pacific Coast Highway with the top down and this streaming through the speakers ...

Great work my friend. Really has that authentic sound. If I didn't know it were composed/produced in 2017 I would have thought it were several decades old ...

A fun track indeed David...enjoyed it very much!!

Great cross between the Stones and Neil Young!

Letra / translated lyrics:

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la vieja madre...   /   the old mother...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la tierra extraña...   /   the strange land...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...


Son tus raíces   /   Your roots are
más profundas que el tiempo.   /   deeper than time.
Olvida tu vida   /   Forget your life
que ahora es desierto.   /   which is now a desert.

Tus raíces de sangre se han perdido,   /   Your blood roots are lost
y tu exótico mundo ha envejecido.   /   and your exotic world has got old.
La llamada de la selva ha convertido:   /   The call of the jungle has turned:

tus batallas en guerras,   /   your battles to wars,
y tus bosques en hambre,   /   and your forests to hunger,
y tus hombres en tierra.   /   and your men to soil.

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
tus cantos lejanos...   /   your distant singings...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
ahora están muertos...   /   are dead now...
ahora están muertos.   /   are dead now.
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...

Peak 2023

I never thought I'd see the day but everyone says it's great
They're opening up dispensaries I'm in a legal state
Corporations are cashing in it's the American Way

It's peak 2023
Peak 2023 it's all right
It's all right

Slava Ukraini we're watching from a drone's eye view 
VR headset I'm immersed but can't escape the truth
I think this creepy AI app is more aware than you

It's peak 2023
Peak 2023 it's all right
It's all right

Swimming in a sea of wifi radiation every day
I wear EMF clothing and a beanie for my brain
And I don't care if everybody thinks I've gone insane

It's peak 2023
Peak 2023 it's all right
It's all right

Late night drunken media posts they delete them with the sun
Somebody let the fascists out I wish I had a gun
Let me tell you I would not set my phasers on stun

It's peak 2023
Peak 2023 it's all right
It's all right

Lies inside of lies inside of lies inside of lies
Evil algorithm winner come and claim your prize
Karma's coming 123 to cut you down to size

It's peak 2023
Peak 2023 it's all right
It's all right

Saw her again

Thought I saw her again last night
Dancing on the sand under twilight 
Her hips swaying like palm trees
Hair trailing through the breeze 
Sure it was her last night

Thought I saw her again last night 
Dancing down the beach through the starlight 
Gulls echo her past laughs
Waves crack like finger snaps 
Sure it was her last night

Only to enter empty rooms 
Where her cheap lilac perfume 
Is all that’s left behind

Thought I saw her again last night
Dancing on the sand beneath moonlight 
Winds whisper me her name
Years flood my eyes again
Sure it was her last night

Only to enter empty rooms 
Where her cheap lilac perfume 
Is all that’s left behind

saw her again

Seems to be an endless repeated theme for me ~ running away to the countryside, and in recent years this has been the Australian wilderness, from the deep south to the far north.

Dedicated to, and featuring Gary Reeves (aka Mountain Songs) on drums and cymbals (remixed) at the start. Banjo, lap slide guitar (acting as bass), beats and vox by myself. This song is for Gary, who has been a wonderful musical compadre for many of us around the world, via this  Soundcloud Village.

Respect and acknowledgement to the Traditional Owners of the lands, waters and skies in this video, both in Australia and New Zealand. Particular thanks to the Yolgnu people of Gapuwiyak who made me feel so welcome during my short visit to Arnhem Land last year.

Looking Up & Down      Song, recording, audio & video July 2023 - Chris Okunbor (APRA)
I was chained to the city, thinking I could fly,
I gazed at the heavens as the clouds rolled high.
Long, long days working to the plan,
I changed my way of living and I left that town.

Now I'm higher than the mountains, looking down below,
rolling miles above cotton candy snow.
Way beyond the city, just going with the flow.
running to freedom to a place unknown.

Got a window seat, got a beer in hand.
Feeling in my heart for this ancient land.
Well, wild rivers snake,  jeweled seas shine.
Djerimanga Songlines are spinning out my mind.

Higher than the mountains, and the madding crowd,
cruising miles above cotton fields of cloud.
Way beyond the city, going with the flow,
running to freedom, to a place unknown.
To a place unknown.

Looking Up & Down

Looking Up & Down  ~ a song for Gary (video link in notes)

I composed this song many years ago but I updated in 2023. 

"Everybody needs someone to be close to
Everybody needs someone to confide with
Cause being lonely never helped nobody
Ans all I can do is just think of you"
Music and Lyrics by Len Fm Folk Copyright 2023

"Everybody Needs Someone"- Len FM Folk

Keeping this up in the interests of national security...

 in honor of the toxic human being who would sacrifice everything for the sake of his own brittle ego  (if you disagree please don't bother telling me--we inhabit different cognitive universes, and I wish you the best in yours)

This Jeremiad just gets truer by the day 

hazy yeah I have a memory
bought with a ticket by the back gate it's coming to me now

if no one can name the deed there's no way to come back to me
there's no room in my house for back stabbers

I could be the one you need with the greatest of ease
you're gonna see a plan work out
you might be the one to bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I keep a list of all the things they've done to me
and a payback posse with a violent creed
you oughta know better than to fuck with me

I need a girl that keep her legs open and her mouth shut
don't say you didn't sign right there on the line
you'll be kicking and screaming but your ass is mine

who's that waiting there over by the dim light
I can feel the stare but I'm not scared
somebody's gonna bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I'm gonna burn this house down tonight
it's always been about me

MORNING CAFE

The Traveller From Nowhere.

======================

When I was a teenager I loved to write. Sometimes it was poetry, other times short stories, other times it was songs, and I even imagined their music, accepting that perhaps I would never hear them performed. Finally, he also expressed moods, experiences, concerns and desires through simple strokes.


Based on a written line, 5 years ago, I composed music about one of those texts.

Now, thanks to the collaboration of my friend Peter, his impeccable translation, diction and correction of the text, I have been able to incorporate and modify said composition, but, obviously, with text in English.

Thank you Peter, again, for your enthusiasm and help.

Lyric.

The Traveller from Nowhere

Like a whisper that drifts on the breeze. Our eyes fixed on each other,
watching time slither by. Time that ends beyond the lifespan of people and
the backdrop of their murmuring.

It seems I don't know where I'm from or where I'm going. I think and feel like
the traveller from nowhere, either crossing great distances, or, perhaps,
locked in a tiny room. Never to leave.

I imagine I am someone I am not, incarcerated and blind, ignorant of the
counting of the days, a spectator watching his own life trickle past himself,
wasted.

Thus I become a random observer from here, my place, failing to understand
with my diffuse logic all that surrounds me, and the banalities of the human
condition: evil, value, love, desires, and countless other emotions, character
traits.

Indeed, I am suffused with these emotions, emotions on which I greedily
feed, trying to comprehend, dissect and analyse the secret triggers that
generate them, all within an eternal search whose horizon is infinite. So, in
the end, when all is said and done, I realise that I know neither where I'm
from nor where I'm going... then, and only then, finally, do I grasp my destiny.

I am the one who once was somewhere, or possibly not. The one who
imagines worlds and lives but never really lives them. The nomadic one who
becomes that curious traveller from nowhere; surreal, anonymous, ethereal,
imaginary……drifting on the breeze.

'67 Coupe DeVille (She Likes Mick Jagger)

I grew up listening to country music along with early Rock & Roll. Chuck
Berry was nicknamed "Father of Rock & Roll.  With such songs as
Maybellene, Roll Over Beethoven, Rock & Roll Music and Johnny B. Goode he topped the charts in the 1950's.  Every guitar player of my
generation played or tried to play Johnny B Goode.  He died March 18, 2017. No one does it like Chuck Berry, so I decided to do my version of Nadine as a tribute to the man.  Thanks

Nadine  ( Cover - Chuck Berry)

Sun Will Shine by Glenny G and his one man Band.......
SO MUCH TO DO WHEN THIS IS OVER
PICK UP THE DREAM AND CARRY ON
FIND ANOTHER FOUR LEAF CLOVER
BEEN LOCKED AWAY FOR WAY TO LONG
LIFE HERE HAS CHANGED
FLOWERS BLOOM IN THE RAIN
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO EXPLAIN
THE RAY OF HOPE TURNS TO PAIN
ALL THIS WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS
I PICK UP THE PIECES AND MOVE ON
SUNNY DAYS HAVE GROWN COLDER
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT IT'S ALL GONE
SHATTERED NERVES TROUBLED MINDS
MAKES ME LONG FOR BETTER TIMES
THE FUTURES BLEAK THE CLOCK UNWINDS
WHAT LAYS AHEAD FOR MANKIND
UNCERTAIN DAYS I KNEEL AND PRAY
IT CARRIES ME THROUGH COME WHAT MAY
WASH AWAY THIS TROUBLED MIND
BENEATH THE CLOUDS THE SUN WILL SHINE
so much has changed ........

Sun Will Shine  ( Original ) with Lyrics

Popular Folk-Crossover Song Originally written and performed by Tim Hardin way back in 1967. Covered by many, including Johnny Cash and Leon Russell. My own creative take and lyrical interpretation, intended with respect. Just a bit of After Midnight Dabblin'. That's all. Vocals, instruments, and production by Riff Beach - RiffWerx - 2020.
