Original Instrumental: Monkey Parts

Jon shared “Monkey Parts” with me while we were discussing an unreleased track we were working on. Jon’s original track instantly inspired me and the lyrics easily flowed onto the paper (actually I write all my lyrics in Apple Notes, lol) and then into GarageBand (using my Apple headphone mic to everyone who mixes my vocals exasperation). I held onto the unmixed track for a while (really for no good reason besides it wasn’t in the stars’ plan until now) and then finally worked up the urge to “git er done.” 

As for the lyrics, the last time I had anything weed related was probably 11 years ago in California. At that time, all things marijuana were relatively easy to acquire since many of my friends had “doctor’s notes” to go to the medical dispensaries. It was fun to try all the new novel dope products people were making and selling. Since living in Oregon, for over 6 years now, I have not once thought about partaking in the herb, even though I can easily walk to several cannabis stores from my home. I think there are more pot stores in the Portland area than convenient stores, I do not live in a reefer desert, lol. But still, I was inspired to write a song about maryjane.

Lyrics:
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

I was feeling alright my baby
Until you ruined my vibe with crazy
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling alright my people
Until ya’ll ruined my vibe with fecal
Specially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

But I shoulda saw it coming 
Now my Karma’s got me running  
Fruitions always gunning 
This life
Future life 
Past bad acts got me on slumming
Always on the worry 
On what I am becoming

So with my right thumb and my two right fingers 
I set my intention as I’m foldin’ up the papers
Right right right right

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
Interlinked eternally
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling stressed out my baby
And then I lifted my vibe with hazy 
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

When I’m feeling stressed out my people
I gotta lift my vibe pineal
Especially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

Yea some say it’s in the dirt
But It don’t matter when it hits it still hurts
Attracted by ya’ll hertz 
Best to sit still
Keep chill
Let the mind go inert 
Purify ’til the soul reverts

Use my thumbnail to press down and tuck the edges
I set my intention and seal it with some praises 
Right right right right
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
My vibe guides me

The anticipation - the standoff - the requiem 

A favorite movie of mine from my younger days is "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" famously ending in a Mexican Standoff between Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. Directed by Sergio Leone with music by Ennio Morricone I recommend this spaghetti western to anybody who hasn't seen it.  On a whim I thought I would perform a musical reenactment, although in my version there are no survivors.

The experimental part of this has to do with the reverb on the drums in the "shootout" to simulate gunshots.

A Mexican standoff is a confrontation where no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory. Any party initiating aggression might trigger everyone's demise. At the same time, the parties are unable to extract themselves from the situation without suffering a loss. [Wikipedia]

With #valentinesday just around the corner, I figured why not write a song about starting a new relationship for all of you who may have just met someone new who you are letting into your life.

Don't question it. #listentoyourheart 

chorus

if everything happens for a reason 
is this my season change 
where everything rearranges to fit
a missing puzzle piece 
inside my heart 
that forms
a piece of art
that starts
a happily 
ever after 

Thanks for all your support and much ♡

If Everything Happens For A Reason

This track was inspired by the way society has grown to think squeezing every ounce of vitality and nutritional content out of people, places, and things is "the new norm." It has only "become the norm" because we've failed to see, acknowledge, and put the brakes on seeing the ways the medical industry, psychology, psychiatry, religion, counseling, coaching, mentoring and other societal influencers have "authorized" the over-diagnosing to over-prescribe and over-medicate without the same health testing requirements for the brain... as required for every other organ of the body to determine which areas of the brain are hyper and/or hypo active. Instead, it's "acceptable" to DO HARM by blindly, essentially, tossing a dart at a dart board to diagnosis someone to medicate a patient; however a person with a prescription pad and pen... deems they want. For instance, depression... lots of things can cause depression and/or attention issues from artificial colors in foods, gluten causing brain fog, excessive traumas or losses, etc. Each of those things affects the brain differently; but, the effects are all depression. Now, if you don't scan the brain to find out exactly which part of the brain is affected, which parts are under or over performing/producing... it's like playing roulette with someone's brain and their life. How do I/we know? We were one of many victims of this medical industry practice... and it sent us to weighing 287 pounds, (years ago,) and being essentially brain dead or feeling like a zombie. The medical industry had us prescribed to take a minimum of 28 pills a day, just to get out of bed and "function." Their definition of "functioning," NOT ours, since a lot of days we were nearly bedridden. Turned out, once we were gifted the book Wheat Belly by an aunt, a retired nurse, we began getting back some of our life. We lost 70 pounds just by terminating ONE brain medication during a time we could not exercise because we had the worst severely strained ankle we'd ever had and weren't permitted to take walks for nearly 24 weeks! We hadn't changed our diet, at all, weren't exercising, and simply stopped taking ONE medication. As a result, we systematically began taking ourselves off more and more meds and replaced them or supplemented our health by using essential oils. 

Our advice is not from or as a medical professional... we are NOT one! Always seek your health care professional (s') advice BEFORE you adjust your diet or medications!!! We advise seeking a whole wellness doctor who uses or focuses more on nutrition and what are commonly referred to as "alternative medicines" despite the alternative medicines are actually what pharmaceuticals are. Natural, herbs and plant-based health care tonics are what medicine people of old used; before man decided to corrupt the ingredients, diluting, polluting, and toxifying it... for profit and control over the general populace. It's time we do more reading folks, and less time sitting in front of screens causing the same judgments and division those diagnostic terminologies were created to induce. And my, my... how well they've worked! Be more selective about how much you're willing to let others squeeze out of you, your life... and what ingredients are going to compliment the creative life juices flowing within you. Are you going to be a lemonade made with lemons full of bitter pesticides by those who don't want you to become the most delicious refreshment... or ones who flourished in an organic garden, protected and pollinated by the birds, bees, and other naturally occurring elements and beings who truly want to support you, your wellbeing?
  
This piece was produced in the 432HZ range so please do not drive or operate machinery while listening to this track... and listen to the track through wireless headphones at a lower volume to receive the optimum effects. As always, we thank you for taking some time for yourself and your self care... with our music.

This is my first collab work with the great Ian Greaves aka IPG1. The basis of the remix is the same bassline as in the song 'Authenticity'. I had to adapt it to the tempo of Ian's rap. But it fits very well and sounds pretty 'rockin'' overall.
Thanks Ian for this great open collab offer!

Lyrics:

This that acid drop—- mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not ——if the time stops——
and the clock refuse to TikTok 
Full throttle—speeding-roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck 
Tie dye—-sandals ——dreadlocks 
Woodstock —type ——Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt 
my brain ——become a hotspot 
Am I human——Am I God——
preparing for ——-the aftershock 
the aftershock——-the aftershock 
Hell yeah———— and why not ——it’s still that purple 
microdot—-microdot—— microdot

Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma —-come on let’s go
The moves —-without Ego
The smile —-or the combo
It’s good times —-and Convo
Cant avoid it—-so you want some more
The allure —-of an outlaw (X3)

Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align——You know I’mer get mine
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop 
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot 
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts 
From that purple microdot

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth are shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow 
Are Y’all ready for the show—Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made —-for love—-that—— purple microdot
This that aftershock—-that aftershock—that aftershock
From that acid drop ———Mind corrupt —Mind corrupt
time stop ———-brain cell begin to pop 
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot 
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot —-From that purple microdot

——Chorus ——

Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire 
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—it’s called —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya

Lost & Lonely

so back in time again to the start of this brand new millenium , here is a very cynical inspection of this thing we call romance . I thought this would be timely to put out there.

Valentines

Valentines (Raw Demo 2002)

This one's for you Santi...
Two months ago our dear and wonderfully talented friend and musician Santi Caballero Mendez was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident in his hometown of Barcelona.  Sam and I had recorded over 50 tunes together yet we had never spoken.  To honor Santi, we have created our tribute Missing You - with 17 different musicians around the world who had recorded with Sam in my music.  The music brings out so many emotions for me, sadness, joy, passion, playfulness, and of course the incredible latin spirit.   Each section of the piece has different musicians, and so many musicians appear and reappear throughout the piece - but often with different supporting casts.  In the end, a moving tribute from so many of Soundcloud's very finest.  Thank you all for joining in as we honor Santi - and thank you Santi...we're Missing You:

Letra / Lyrics:

No siempre he estado aquí (soy imperfecto) / I have not always been here (I am imperfect)

Cuando tengo frío, o tengo calor, / When I feel cold, or I feel hot,
cuando tropiezo, me quemo, o siento dolor… / when I stumble, I burn myself, or feel pain …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.

Me siento extraño / I feel strange
donde tendría que estar a gusto, / where I should to be comfortable,
y me reconforto / and I feel better
cuando me relaciono bien con el mundo. / when I relate well to the world.

Empiezo a pensar en el tránsito; / I start to think about the passage;
que no siempre he estado ni estaré aquí; / that I have not always been nor will be here;
que mi vida es un entretenimiento / about my life being an entertainment
en el viaje a otro sitio. / along the trip to another place.

Y descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
si la meta de todo lo que hago / if the goal of everything I do
es comer y respirar, / is to eat and breathe,
¿qué clase de razón tengo en la cabeza? / what kind of reason do I have in my head?
¿qué soy yo dentro de este juego? / what am I within this game?

 descubro lo profundo / And I discover the deepness
entre tanta superficialidad, / among so much superficialness,
y me pongo a pensar, / and I start thinking,
y empiezo a pensar… / and I start to think …

y  empiezo a pensar que no siempre he estado aquí, / and I start to think that I have not always been here,
y que todo en este mundo es ajeno a mí. / and that everything in this world is alien to me.

Pienso que este cuerpo / I think that this body
que me sirve para moverme / I use to move myself
no es todo lo perfecto que debiera. / is not as perfect as it had to.
