Jesu christ and holy Buddha man...this is so epic! Amazing groove like burning turf heated up by guitars and synthlike silver webs to unwrap the cosmic punk that hide in full sight within this story and its lazersharp focus on unpolygetic evolution of light as an existensial statement. You were allways The Cosmic Pop Pope for me. Amazing creativity!

A truly marvelous showcase of your unique and unmistakable signature sound and style that never fails to bring forward your boundless creativity !!

you are awesome brother, and awesomely appreciated 👍🏻!!

Captivatiing! Awesome vocals & brilliantly unique music!

YOU’RE THE SON OF A GUN AND A FATHER OF A SON 
I CAN TELL BY WHAT’S BEEN TOLD TO ME
LITTLE FRED IN HIS BED IS DREAMING OF A TREE
YOU ARE 40 YEARS AHEAD COS FRED IS ONLY THREE

CAN YOU BALANCE A PLATE ON THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD JAKE
SITTING ON A CORNFLAKE I HEARD YOU COULD DO SO 
CAN YOU HAVE A BIG BREAK WITH A VIDEO AD JAKE
AND MIME AMERICANA WITH YOUR BASEBALL HAT

A GHOST WRITER OR  A MUSE OH OH
WHO IS PAIGE SUPPOSED TO BE? 
FROM WHAT I READ IN THE NEWS OH OH
SHE COULD BE BOTH COULD’NT SHE?

JUST A WORD FOR JULIENNE WHO SEEMS A DEDICATED FRIEND
ET À TOUS LES GENS QUI T’AIMENT ET QUE TU AIMES AUSSI
ON RÉCOLTE CE QUE L’ON SÈME TOI TU AS SEMÉ DES AMIS
HENCE YOUR LIFE IS WHAT IS MEANT TO BE


GOULIES AND GHOSTIES AND LONG LEGGETY BEASTIES
THAT GO AND JUMP IN GEORGIA JAKE
I KNOW THAT’S WHAT YOU GO FOR THE AMERICANA LORE
NO WONDER SINCE YOUR FAMILY
WERE QUILTERS, FOLKLORISTS, PAINTERS, WINE MAKERS
ALL BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS
SOMEBODY TOLD ME SO
SO IN THE NAME OF ALL THE TURTLES IN THE WORLD
I WISH YOU MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY
HAPPY RETURNS
MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY
HAPPY RETURNS
HAPPY HAPPY
IT’S THE TREE OF LIFE
HAPPY RETURNS

Alchemy and Stones
By David Husted

V1

Your an alchemist shaping my world
metal and leaf, herbs and fire
Your the pestle to ground the root
To shake my truth, without gun powder
   
ch                      
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

V2
And the stones of philosophers
The secrets of flowers golden
The halls of wise, the dreams that lie behind
The paradise we long for

ch
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

Rock Bridge

Ch Quiet

You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me
                
V3

You take my cynical, my rigid , my narrow mind stiffening
You mix me it in your crucible, release internal conflicts
I'm tired of being wrapped up in my revolutions
Un-dress me take me inside your peaceful evolution

Your peaceful evolution
Your peaceful evolution
 

Ch  
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might

Love You

I have a new song release scheduled for 13 DEC 24 called Alchemy and Stones. 

In one of my past song journal entries my word of the day was amalgam and I threw in the word alchemy for good measure.  During the lyric building process for this song my brain seemed to be still heavily steeped in the essence of these words. They were percolating through my thought streams. Much of the lyrical content contains imagery associated with this chemistry of the past and its mythic symbols. Our messy world provided additional ingredients that fell into the steaming crucible and began to round out this song into its final state.

There were four different songs that fed my creative spark and development process.  They were the following:

Spoon: Wild
James McMurtry: Canola Fields
Fruit Bats: Waking Up in Los Angeles
Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero

Deep bow of gratitude to all these artists.  My primary reference for the arrangement was Wild and it had the deepest structural influence on the song. The McMurtry song helped me hit on an idea for the chorus melody that seemed to stick with me and I liked his vocal delivery and cadence. The Fruit Bats was really not used at all but I loved the ohhhs in the chorus and wanted to find a way to emulate the laid back ease of them in my song.  However, my particular song style, tempo and arrangement just never allowed an entry point. The Fruit Bats song did keep the juices flowing though so that is why it still receives honorable mention in this write-up.

Finally, the  song by Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero did have a role in my song believe it or not.  If you listen to one of the synths you will hear a gated pumping sound courtesy of an Auto Pan and a Phaser-Flanger Plug-in. I really should thank a Music Producer named Ill Factor for teaching me the sound design process here. He demonstrated the technique in a YouTube video. Pretty cool.  As I have said before, I learn something new in every new song I build.  It is always deeply enjoyable for me. I also appreciate you for leaning in and listening. I wish you all the very best.

Thank You

Have a Great Weekend,

Step into the Athanor

Ice & Fire is the twelfth studio album by the Dragonsail Puppets.

THE HEAT LADDER   
  
I saw the lightning strike the grass and flame   
Volcano spew the rock of lame   
Dead branches rub together - flame   
And we started to climb   
Into the all-consuming fire   
  
Scratching flint to flame   
Torches dipped to flame   
Surging interior balls of flame   
Faces flickering aflame   
  
Creeping and stooping with furry backs   
Through the icy night   
We started to climb   
Into the bubbling vats and the roaring engines   
And the hissing steam   
Into space   
  
I'm not surprised   
For the day we met with our eyes   
The world began   
And I knew   
The all-consuming fire   
Was already in my hand   
  
Yeah this mutha gets hot   
Underground no sound   
But the crackling and the bubbling all around   
We're the dust of a meteor shower   
And we've always been solar powered   
More lessons on the way   
Buttercup, ape's going up   
I gotta cool off honey   
Train the hose on all I got   
Cuz this mutha gets hot

Ice & Fire

The Heat Ladder

I’m a ladybug in your dirty garden
And I fly around every morning
To every corner
Flapping my wings and I get them all wet
With the summer rain falling from the turquoise sky
And no, we don’t care for the Turkish guy
Or the Kurdish guy, or the Swedish or whatever
You woke bitches never finish a thought
This whole shit is like a Finnish art movie
About a British cunt who be really down with the left
You motherfuckers wanna copy identities
Why the fuck you asking us to be down with the theft?
Fuck the left and everyone in it
A new genocide starts every five minutes
A new generation born with advanced trauma
And that’s that democracy you’re yapping on and on about

How many more massacres do you have to fund?
How many more fake pride laps do you have to run?
Do you have to, like, post a story too?
Maybe even go and protest
Oh it’s too gorgeous of you
You’re just a true force for goodness
Doing all the things you’re supposed to just do
The soldier of truth
The wokest hocus pocus joker, shit
Ain’t no limit, you can be anything
A man, a woman, or something in between
Or out of it, whatever you feel is genuine
You can be a motherfucking penguin
You can fix the world
All it takes is to keep progressing 
‘Til we all get you live the dream
In the fields, where the cotton’s digital
And everyone’s in, no color limits y’all

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

Pick it up - Put it down
There's nothing in my head
Pick it up - Put it down
Till I regain the thread

Wish I could - But I can't
Suppose I never will
Wish I could - But I can't
Make the time stand still

Chorus

TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG
TRYING TO REMEMBER
IS THIS WHERE I BELONG

Time has flown - Winds have blown
Now look at where we are
Time has flown - Winds have blown
We've not come very far

Feeling tired - Growing old
Trying to kid myself
Feeling tired - Growing old
I could be someone else

CHORUS

BRIDGE

What have I forgotten
It seems so strange
What I have forgotten
It’ll never be the same

Solo

Thinking straight - Knew the score
Nothing in my way
Thinking straight - Knew the score
Seems just like yesterday

Another day - Another night
Another morning dawns
Another day - Another night
Wish I could right the wrongs

Way back when - Long ago
When everything was clear
Way back when - Long ago
Now I just shed a tear

Say hello - Say goodbye
Another one has gone
Say goodbye - Say hello
Another one's, Another one's been born 

CHORUS x 2 to the end

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.

Thought I Was Dreaming

GOODBYE OLD WORLD
WHEN THE TIMES THERE WERE A CHANGIN’
BUT THE SHIP SHE NEVER CAME IN  

BAD NEWS BLOWING IN THE WIND
SWEET LORD WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

WHAT CAN I DO?
WHERE CAN I GO?
BAM BAM BAM BAM 

GOO DAY NEW WORLD
SUNSHINE TURNING GREEN
SUNK THE YELLOW SUBMARINE

CASTLES OF SAND A’ CRUMBLING
BANG BANG SISTER MORPHINE

WHAT CAN WE DO?
WHERE CAN WE  GO?
BAM BAM BAM BAM

WHAT CAN WE DO?

SHOW MUST GO ON

WHAT CAN I DO?

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

Welcome to the alternative reality that is the Dragonsail Puppets! We have a YouTube channel with cagey comedy and spirited music videos as well. Please feel free to check it out and join us on this party boat!

See their music videos and YouTube comedy series!:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVBel-tzj24Gj9QR8RTRpow

On Earth One, all of the music and lyrics are written by Dragonsail, aka Greg Hester. Likewise, all of the playing and vocal performances and recording and mixing are done by Dragonsail as well. But that's not as interesting as what's happening on Earth Two.

On Earth Two, these songs are created and performed by a scheming diva named Surrenda and her enthusiastic but clueless dog sidekick Bruce. Additional songwriting is provided by their septuagenarian feline keyboardist, Catatonia, and Onree - the sweet pup with the mean shaker. There's also some old geezers in the band who've been with Surrenda for a couple of decades who actually play real instruments, but they mostly loom in the shadows.

The range of styles in their music includes funk, psychedelia, hard rock, prog rock and disco, which they tear away at with whatever instruments and found objects they have stowed away with them aboard their ship, the Club Dragonsail.
