Progressive funk rock by the Dragonsail Puppets

Under The Shadow

Got a new bass guitar so thought I might give it center stage and have been playing with a new Amp Sim from Neural DSP. So just some little blasts of fun 😃

In The Silence

A piece of music inspired by winter walks in the woods. The snow, the cold air, the frozen lake, a sweet friend...
Joé Johnston- Bass guitar, synths, drum sample programming. 
Recorded, mixed and mastered at the cottage, winter 2021.

Walk In The Woods (with you)

Take Flight

Foregone

Lyrics:

Hittin’ the road this way
Day to day
Tomorrows blind
And we forgot ourselves 
In this valley
All intwined

Hissin’ plants and screaming bats
The wonders of our find
Pink lotus 
Crystal clear
Valleys in valleys

Earth in your mind
You'll find the time to find the rhythm
Blood-let
Holy juice go blush the water

Why even why?
C’mon, don’t lag behind
Just keep walkin’ straight ahead
Theres roadkill by your side

Endless questions
A stream, a dialogue
Endless solutions
Wading through the fog
Nothing to lose
To live is to die
Dying to live
Life gets me high

What A Wonderful World

Dear friends, it has been a tough year, and it does't seem to be over!

Lyrics:
Tough Year

There are many of us folks who have lost a friend,
a mother or a dad or a neighbor next door
this year of horror and pain.
Maybe next year that will come
be a year that we will remember as good.

We may find comfort by looking in photo books
which visualize the friends which we lost the last year
and the memories may make us warm.
Maybe next year that will come
be a year that we will remember as good.

There are many of the poor that get poorer every day
it is probably these folks that are suffering the most
this year of horror and pain.
Maybe next year that will come
be a year that we will remember as good.

Tough Year

10 seconds
the difference between everything and nothing
the thinnest margin
it was supposed to be beautiful
so hard to say goodbye
maybe the next time
maybe the next life
it was supposed to be beautiful
maybe the next time
maybe in the next life
it was supposed to be beautiful

as always, thanks to our dear friend Adrian :)

supposed to be...with Adrian Hallam

Shadows crawling under my skin
A storm is rising can't hold it in
The moonlight whispers a curse so cold....

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!

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.
