The Fountainmaid

Dreams of the dazed
The dead speaks while life begets
False in the rapture
The fairy wails
In your eyes against demise
Fire on the fountain

Stolen by, ruled by desire
All my love, torn pieces of myself

Your sweet lipper taste
Roll it back & sleep the pain
Excommunication.
Disenchanted,
Disavowed by the wrong,
Fortress of my own

Glorified, born in the fires of sorrow
All the laughs, feed, crawl in denial
Spread and fly, forever now

Fear, not the light of dawn
Touch my shadow, and dusk shall follow
Face me, now I'm alive
Not tomorrow, my time is borrowed
For all my sorrow, I will follow

The Alert—Rap-160 BPM
Heat’s bubbling everywhere——coming to the surface —-
Straight from the underground ——so don’t go ——getting nervous

Nothing but dopeness —————-
both a product and the service——-

———checking ———in——- where you been
—————get in ——where you fit in
Standing room only—close the doors and let us  begin
And If All the seats are taken———-consider that a win—-win

Nah!—Y’all ——can’t hold back the vibes—-ECHO!

—————Now Bounce It!

Braking down—— the of elements
Tune me —-as a reference
Acknowledge —-the —existence 
So what’s the big difference

 I’m Betting that’s your——preference
Really don’t stand a chance

No overselling bro————yo!—this is what I was born to do

——My styles never——basic—I bend the bar and twist it
tryin match —-my cadres —-well that’s ——your first mistake
Check out——How I operate—chill——- lemme demonstrate 

Decision’s made—-coordinate
Drop that beat——anticipate
I rock it  ——-and—— I—-regulate
Now it’s time ———to——-devastate——
off the top ————-decapitate

Dropping heat’s no issue
It’s IPG1 —-and it’s LOU———this is just what I do

Deep for me ———and for you—-
Nothing late and —-nothing’s new—-
nothing even overdue
Boost the volume——-Lemme ——through—-
Lemme change your point of view
nothings basic——like the flu 
Nothing’s crazy—-like voodoo 
simple facts—-a quick—-review
Catch the vibe ——it’s simply Lou
No holding back just bouncing through (X2)

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.

Cast of characters:
mistermark--@user-432503709--Mark---Piano, drums, and composition
Llanpsych--@llanpsych--Tez—electric guitar, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)--@josh-clary-1—four string fretless bass and electric guitar
This is a song that originated with Mark, and existed as a song he wrote on the piano after, like many of us, getting back into playing following an extended hiatus. He sent it to me Josh, who added the fretless bass and some delay-heavy electric guitar. Then we got Tez involved, who added not only the screaming guitar parts in the meat of the song, but also the entire coda at the end. After that, Mark added the catchy, powerful drum Tez also produced and mixed this for us, expertly. This is the first of hopefully many songs Tez and Josh do with Mark. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

This is the final result of our new collaboration and another musical journey to which we invite you. There has already been an expedition into space and into the depths of the ocean. Now it's time for a night journey along the highway in the moonlight. This is a long journey where getting to the destination is paramount. We hope we were able to create this mood. Have a great time listening!
