TWEETING KALEIDOSCOPIC STUDIES IN THE RAIN

Music: Jan Schonander

This is about as close to a "dittie" as you get in the synth VST world. I loaded up 5 different VSTs, four from Logic Pro X and 1 from Kontakt, mapped them into 5 different and sometimes overlapping parts of the keyboard and played it all in one go. In other words this is a one man band piece that can be performed live - there are no overlays just a single play. It was kind of fun doing this and I felt like one of those street musicians playing on a pedestrian street in front of an old-fashioned department store while playing. Maybe some of you will enjoy.

For me, getting older has certainly had some advantages, one of them being the ability to take on life's pressures without continually worrying about what is coming along next.

Being seen as the “Wise Old Man" in the family (you know, the one in the comfy chair closest to the TV in the living room), my sons, daughter, nieces and nephews will often plonk themselves down on the seat next to me and disclose their personal problems.  Much though I’d like to pretend otherwise, I rarely have any useful advice to volunteer, the reality being that I offer little more than a sympathetic ear.  That they trust me enough to take me into their confidence is nonetheless most flattering, the reason most likely being that I’m neither judgemental nor threatening and most importantly can be trusted to keep what I’m told entirely to myself.

This song was written after one of these tête-à-tête’s, one in which there was absolutely nothing I could do to change the situation and could only empathise, say that they need never feel they were on their own and affirm I’d always be there for them whenever the need arose.  All the same, I did find myself wishing I could have been of greater help.  I truly did feel blue for them.  

Life can be a sod of a thing sometimes.  When that happens, what else is there to do but write a song about it?   (Terry Reeves)    
 

A glass on the table, half full a distance away
Feeling thirsty and dry so unreachable today
Closer tomorrow but might drain to half empty
Distance unchanged my thirst remains plenty

Feeling so blue for you
Really blue for you

I’ve stood in the forest heard whispers of lies
Every leaf falling past, covers a layer of spies
Try hiding from truth, planet can never disguise
Face stays in the shadows screaming silent cries 

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

Look out of the window reflections inside my head
Reversing a vision giving sight to those who bled
The slaughter of life has reduced the time earned
Loving life not chewing death the option unfurled

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

I will answer questions if you ask with a smile
I may travel a distance over one million miles
Moving is never a picture puzzles of reasons
Hoping to find missing piece to help mental lesions

Feeling blue for you
Really blue for you

its a song that is using the metaphor of a tsunami to illustrate the wave of destruction that will drown the elite power structure that is on the way out 😉

This is the 6th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! This song was inspired by the mass shootings that plague the United States and the lack of progress this society and government makes toward increasing the safety and well being of all. I was recently surprised by an article in support of the “good guy with a gun” solution in a mainstream liberal news article. It’s basically the wild wild west out here still, lol. 

Big thanks to Wou Wou, Bit-zone, and Stricknice for sticking with me through this long project and being an awesome group to work with. And big thanks to The Magnetic Dog Sisters for working with me on this second track. I love their fresh experimental sound!

Lyrics:

It’s true, dreams get shattered on a daily basis
You can see the disappointment on the multitudes faces
And on this occasion, even though I was sent to the ground I try to be gracious
As I watch the hind from behind, I plot how I’m still going to taste this 
Facts, I ain’t going to lie
Each time I try to sneak by the stag into his harem, I feel like I am less of a guy
I don’t know why I am always living in comparison
Stuck in this seasonal competition 
At the same time living in fear of becoming venison 
The life of an unfettered stag should be one of rugged individualism 
Yet here I am, alone and disappointed by my under actualized freedom, it’s embarrassing 
I walk alone once again and hear the birds singing
Try to let go of these dark thoughts that I’ve been thinking
It’s just me and this cool stream from which I’m drinking
The last thing I noticed was my ear ringing

I should have been running 
I should have had fear
Its clear that deaths near so you always 
Better beware 
I would have stared down that bullet 
If I knew it was my time
Look my maker in the eye 
As I’m about to die
Just as I was hitting my prime
With a fully aligned spine 
And a F.U. on my mind 
I would spit my cud on the ground 
And I would bellow out a sound
For the millions of lost deer to the round
Bullets of men, the scourge of the earth

Hello all, we are excited to share with you the final installment in the mega-collaborative pyschedelic fantasy concept album project 'Land of the Zed', from the group that we have now dubbed the Smoking Trout. Uziel, Stonerjazz and myself were involved in all 10 installments. We had other friends plug in along the way, including some new names this time around: Nic and Nadia Selvaggi. Special thanks to Jo Richter for contributing to the vocals as well. Thanks to all who participated, listened, and commented!
We had too much fun to stop here, so don't be surprised if we start another Zed concept album.

LYRICS:
I.
Amanita Amanita Aminita Muscaria, we're so happy, we're so happy yes we're so happy that your in the area
Amanita amantia amanita muscaria.
The clinical psychologist says it's in his head
that's why that boy won't get out of bed
He's dreaming of a journey taken to the land of Zed
and a magical Accordion.
Amanita singing songs of the land of Zed
singing songs in Johnny's head.
Amanita Amanita Amanita Muscaria
we're so happy, yes we're so happy you're in the Area.
Well two clarinet players named Sally and Roberta
and a monkey named Steve
came up to Johnny and said
"Johnny we think it's time to leave; we're out of water and we're outa Bread
and all of us are damn near dead.
So Johnny Thought for a moment and he said Okay.
then he sat down on boulder and started to play
that golden magic accordion.

II.
amanita amanita amanita muscaria
A crack appeared in the side of the wall
and exposed a magnificent Hall,
a fountain appeared in the middle, gushing crystalline clear water so sweet and so pure.
And as each traveler had their drink, they did proceed to disappear.
Johnny had a drink and then he woke up in his bed
in his room
in his house
in his state
in his country
in his world.

III.
ln ths welcomeless abode where tenants rights perptually erode
where bills are paid by humiliation and toil.
The air is full of burning oil
Where street lights outshine the moon
And dust has more rights than me
Awoken by faint sirens in the caccaphony
Whow is me who played that accorrdion for free
I fed the starving with golden tune and lifted up the many with melodies refined.
And hope spread golden
In keys made light
Humbled here and squandered in this wretched flight

IV.
Though in a way, this is a comfy place
And quaint.
And yet it feels like restraint that keeps me from the land of Zed
From where I wish I'd never fled.
How I long for how I yearn for rat and crow and monkey too
And even Roy who loves those blues.
And my accordion nowhere in sight occassionally late at night
Sings in the clouds and I remain within my shrouds
While smiling secretly with knowledge of a Gate
In my vicinity.

Amanita Muscaria (Land of the ZED #10) w/ Stonerjazz, Uziel, Nic, Nadia Selvaggi, and Jo Richter

Chill for a few and take in some meditation as well, life can move so fast so lets slow it down for 3 minutes. Yeah!

Slide Over Here / Instrumental

Opposites attract is a song about me and my wife. We are so opposite but yet we really fit together so well. most of the time :-))))) You will have to bop to this one its infectious... 

Written and performed by Johnny Mc. Enjoy here are the lyrics to help you through it. 

They say that opposites attract, 
well For you and me that’s true 
Like plus and Minus there’s an invisible attraction
Between me and you 

We are Yin and Yang and that for sure 
If I’m the disease, then you’re the cure 
Like the Lady and the tramp your rich and I’m poor 
Your confident and I’m insecure 
But when we are together we’re a perfect match 
If you’re the door then I’m the latch 
If your the roof then I'm the thatch 
We really fit together 
We area perfect match 

Your rare and precious Your true and pure 
I’m raggie and disheveled and somewhat immature 
We are like black and white, like day and night 
I'm always wrong and your always right .

Your up I’m down your country I’m town 
Your somewhat serious and I'm the circus clown 
Like a hand in a glove like a foot in a shoe
Your part of me and I'm part of you 

But when we are together we’re a perfect match 
If you’re the door then I’m the latch 
If your the roof then I'm the thatch 
We really fit together 
We area perfect match 

When your feeling down you know I'm there for you 
If you’re the stove then I've got to be the flu 
If your the front then you know I've got your back 
If I'm the train you have to be the track

From the new EP "Short Songs For Tall Minds" Soundcloud 2022

Lyrics:
I live for the fireworks of the night
Supersonic
Stereophonic
I'm taking all my meals in flight
I love the music
I love the nightlife
Gin & Tonic
It's euphonic
That's ironic
It's emotion that I ghostwrite

Chorus
I've got first world problems
And Second Life Blues
Let the algorithm choose
I've got first world problems
I've got Second Life Blues
Let the algorithm choose
With the algorithm
You know you can't lose
Let the algorithm choose

Made Of Breaking Glass

Originally wrote this song in French ( Si Tu Savais)(https://soundcloud.com/peter-wheeler/si-tu-savais).   This is the only one of my own songs that I've translated from one language to the other.


                 What Goes Around - Comes Around

If you only knew how you get on my nerves
one of these days your gonna get what you deserve
what goes around 
comes - comes - comes - comes around

If you only knew how hard it is to put up with you
your never never never satisfied - no matter what I do
what goes around
comes - comes around.

If you only knew that it’s because of you that I wrote this song
your always always right - I’m always wrong
what goes around
what goes around
what goes around
comes - comes around.

Yeah at the end of the day when the sun sits high above
yeah at the end of the day when the sun sails so high above 
(Crazy Love Baby)
your number 1 in my heart
your number 1 in my heart
your number 1 in my heart

your the only one that I love
your the only one that I love
the only one that I love.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Music & Lyrics: Eddy Mango

IT´S ALL OVER NOW

I feel bad no more glad, all the love that we had, now is gone, all alone.
Was it me was it you, what we see what is true.
I leave tears on the ground.
I feel blue I see you, nothing more we can do, I feel sadness 
today.
You and me no more we, happy day far away,
It´s the end of our love.

It´s all over now, no longer hallo, my love it´s goodbye.
A change in our lives, a husband and wife, is falling apart.
It´s all over now, the end of the show, in memories gone.
And what will we do, there out in the blue, a new life begin.

Goodbye Goodbye, It´s sad I cry,
I am walking alone.
With tears in my eyes, I die I die,
this is no more my home.

It´s All Over Now. ( 1994 ) Eddy Mango-Margareta Theorin

Evocative song to listen to without hurry... most serious job I've done lately, say no more.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

SI TÚ ME FALTARAS  /  IF I MISSED YOU

Abre tu risa mis ojos,  /  Your laugh opens my eyes,
olor a café por la mañana…  /  smell of coffee in the morning…
Para murmurarte un beso  /  So as to whisper you a kiss
me levanto de la cama.  /  I get up from the bed.

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Me despierta muy temprano  /  Wakes me up very early
el olor de tu cuerpo a mi lado.  /  the smell of your body beside me.
Para que se haga de noche pronto  /  So that it gets dark soon
rápidamente me he levantado.  /  I have got up fast.

Siento que mi vida se desliza por el sabor tan suave de tu cuello y de tus besos.  /
I feel my life slips along such a soft flavor of your neck and your kisses.

Puedo ser ligero como el aire y filtrarme con mi fuego en tus sueños y en tus deseos.  /
I can be as light as air and percolate with my fire into your dreams and your desires.

Busco el momento cada día de volver para gozarte, para olerte, para amarte…  /
I look for the moment every day to come back so as to enjoy you, to smell you, to love you … 

para amarte, sí, aaaay! para amarte.  /  to love you, yes, aaaay! to love you.

Juega tu lengua en mi cerebro,  /  Your tonge plays in my brain,
recorren mi espalda tus caricias.  /  your caresses cross my back.
Miro el reloj y suspiro,  /  I look at the clock and sigh,
deseando que acabe el día.  /  wishing the day to finish. 

Aaaay! Si tú me faltaras  /  Aaaay! If I missed you
aaaay! de tedio moriría.  /  aaaay! I’d die of weariness.

Lyrics:
the paper sun has gone down now
for shining eight miles away
no mad man's running through the fields now
no longer he lives for today

the purple haze has passed away now
and lucy's now a daughter of eve
the iron butterfly has vanished
so light my fire before we leave

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade away

a former psychedelic siren
now part of the music business scene
is casting spells only for money
 the white rabbits hide in lemon trees

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade

quotes / reminiscences (psych and garage rock bands and songs 1966 - 68)

traffic - paper sun
the byrds - eight miles high
dantalion's chariot - mad man's running through the field
the grass roots - let's live for today
jimi hendrix - purple haze
beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds
the daughters of eve (us band)
iron butterfly (us band)
the doors - light my fire
kaleidoscope (uk band) 
small faces - green circles
the tide - psychedelic siren
ccr - i put a spell on you
jefferson airplane - white rabbit
the move - here we go round the lemon tree
