dope vibes on thgis love the flow and beat is flames stay blessed

This song started out many years ago as a novelty party spoof on blues. I would ad lib the lyrics and improvise an accompaniment on acoustic guitar which meant no two performances were ever the same. See Retrospection’s Facebook page for a sample.

Recently I decided to do a serious blues rock version and this current track has been inspired by the blues rock style of Eric Clapton and the licks by other blues artists. The lyrics still do contain just a little hint of the mischievous fun from the old party days.

Back Fence Blues

One night, stranded in LA after a gig with a dead phone and no bus in sight, a stranger offered me a ride. Though hesitant, I trusted my intuition and accepted. They turned out to be kind, sharing life advice that stayed with me. 
The song, inspired by that experience, explores how, even in a world where fear and caution are necessary, we still yearn for connection and trust. It’s a reflection on the beauty of unexpected human bonds, vulnerability, and hope — a message that feels more urgent than ever.
 
The song was co-produced with the late Jesse Colin Young (of the 60s hit Get Together), and was recorded live in the studio with legends Laurence Juber (Grammy-winning guitarist for Paul McCartney's Wings), Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp), and Jorgen Carlsson (Gov't Mule).

Lyrics:

Verse1

Summer skies and neon signs
But I was lost in the night
You called out, but no reply
Coz you seemed suspiciously nice

Verse2

Nothing else was in sight
And I kinda needed that ride
Something told me I'd be alright
But (I) had to think twice, I wonder why

Prechorus

In a world of deep blue riptides,
We build our walls up high
But don't we wish and hope to God we find
Find a little sunshine

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

Verse3

I get too stuck up sometimes
I say I'm doing just fine
coz if I ask for help it might
Make 'em think I'm the weak type

Prechorus

In a world of deep blue riptides,
We build our walls up high
But don't we wish and hope to God we find
Find a little sunshine

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

Bridge

Passing by,
I see the diamonds in the sky
I see them in your eyes,
All this time
Didn’t you realize
We have found that light

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

A Little Sunshine

Lyrics
 
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, echoes whisper tales of old,
Forgotten battles fought, the stories left untold.
A land betrayed by time, ashes in the dust,
We search for signs of hope, but find only rust.
When the stars align, in this dusk of fate,
We'll rise from the shadows, no longer hesitate.
With dreams ignited, we’ll reclaim what’s lost,
Together we stand tall, no matter the cost.
So let the music rise, through the silent pain,
We reclaim our voices, from the ashes, we'll reign.


So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, where the ashes lay,
We tread lightly on the dreams that went gray.
With each step forward, we carry the weight,
Of battles forgotten, in a world we create.

So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
A song of resilience, our hearts intertwined,
In a land that was lost, we’ve now redefined.

In the silence, echoes sing of what we knew,
Through the darkness, we forge paths anew.
A symphony of hope, from the ashes we’ll find,
A new dawn awaits, with a vision unconfined.

So let the shadows fade, and the light break through,
We’ll traverse the landscape, with courage to pursue.
In this world reborn, our voices loud and clear,
Together we’ll reclaim, what was once held dear.

So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, where the ashes lay,
We tread lightly on the dreams that went gray.
With each step forward, we carry the weight,
Of battles forgotten, in a world we create.

Scoubidoubidapapeye (Acoustic version)

You might have looked around for help
And you don't know anyone 
Remember Jesus is your friend 
And He will not forsake you 

He said I'll be with you to the very end of your age
Stop crying 
Crying doesn't fix a thing 
Pick up your faith in Him 
No matter what you're going through 
No matter what the world has thrown to you 
Arise and rise look to Jesus 
And rise to Him today 
Look to Him today 
Though your father may forsake you 
Your brother may neglect you 
Your fellow countrymen may not see you 

Jesus won't forget 
But look up 
To the heavens 
He will do it for you 
He won't forget you 
He that endures till the end, He said shall be saved 
Arise and look to the heavens 
Look to Jesus 
And rise unto Jesus 
The author and finisher of our faith 
He won't forget 
He won't forget you

Music of Silence

Andreas (@APi_ZZ) and I collabed musically to create this track, the second one in a planned new album called Tribe. 

My chanting of the Sanskrit mantra is to Mahakala, the same Vajrayana Buddhist deity Mahagali addressed in the female's Mongolian song. It is a powerful mantra for purification and energy cleansing - "banishing demons" as they used to call it. 

We used a morin khuur (horsehair fiddle) and a specific kind of Mongolian throat singing called hooliin chor meaning 'throat harmony'.
