Mix for Mitch

lyrics: John Eagle and edro
Production and arrangement: edro
Performed by the Drunken Munch Kins

If you're not into this
I guess I'd understand it
You don't have to say another thing
I know all about it

You'll be gone and I will stay
Or we could do it the other way

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second of your day
Maybe it's time
Maybe, maybe there's something else for both of us to find

Baby there's got to be
Another way that we could see
We didn't blaze a path
For us to walk apart
Maybe we'll just say

I'll be on my way
Just like any other day
Maybe it's time
Maybe, there's something else for both of us to find

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second of your day
Maybe it's time
Maybe there's something else for both of us to find

I'll be gone and you will stay
We could do it the other way

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second from your day

You'll be gone and I will stay
Or maybe we could do it the other way

I'll be on my way
I won't steal another second of your day
Maybe, maybe it's time
Maybe there's something else for both of us to find

Decision Time

John Eagle: lyrics
edro: production, arrangement
Performance: The Drunken Munch Kins featuring Elford on vocals
A briney breeze
is out from the east
A painted sunrise
Cloudy and oblique
Something is coming
There is no mystique

Boatyards bustle
Harbors pitch and roll
Time to move on
To a hurricane hole
A blow is brewing
Over sea and atoll

Chorus
A fish storm is coming
From out on the blue
The wind is a whipping
Time to heave to
Batten the hatches
And sheet the jib tight
All hands on deck
It’ll be here tonight

Along the storm front
Dark clouds fill the sky
Heavy with rain
There will be no sunshine
Just buffeting winds
And the smell of brine

It’s coming, it’s coming
No time for fear
Stock up the stores
Bottled water and beer
We’ll ride this one out
With good sense and good cheer

Chorus
A fish storm is coming
From out on the blue
The wind is a whipping
Time to heave to
Batten the hatches
And sheet the jib tight
All hands on deck
It’ll be here tonight

I remember talking to John about something fiddley, and his response were these beautiful lyrics, Acadiana. 

John: lyrics
edro: music, vocals, fiddle

Acadiana
The way the moonlight lays
Along the blackwater waves
Such are the memories you carry
When you are so far away

Live oaks arch along the alley
Dripping with silvery Spanish moss
Wish you could smell the oleander
A tunnel of love for those love lost

Chorus
Hooooo-weeee
Acadiana is where you left her
When you started to roam
She’s right here in Louisiana
You know…you wanna go home

The crab pots soak in the marsh
We ready to make a run
Gonna pass a good time tonight
The fest has just begun

Smell the seafood boil
Across the warm summer air
Thick with spices and love
From mama’s rocking chair

Chorus
Acadiana is where you left her
When you started to roam
She’s right here in Louisiana
You know…you wanna go home

Remember the Cajun two-step
The fiddle calling your name
Dance like you’ve got a broken leg
Dosey-do at the music’s change
Hooooo-weeee

Acadiana

Mitch Mitchell: lyrics https://soundcloud.com/user-983692085
edro: music stuff, including guitar

Chorus
I keep a half a glass of moonshine
In the cabinet over there.
It reminds me of the time
I used to live there

Verse 1
It washed away the bitterness of forgotten memories
Eased the pain of a thousand yesterdays
Too many nights sleeping out in the rain
Too many reasons to accept the blame

Verse 2
Driving down the road 100 miles an hour
On a one-way street
Got a gun in my pocket
A bottle in my hand

Chorus
I keep a half a glass of moonshine
In the cabinet over there.
It reminds me of the time
I used to live there

Instrumental break

Verse 3
I’ve got my head against the wall
Feet on the yellow line
I know pretty soon I’ll be doin’ time
I know pretty soon I’ll be doin’ time

That is why

Chorus
I keep a half a glass of moonshine
In the cabinet over there.
It reminds me of the time
I used to live there

That's Why

That's Why (blues version)

Don"t Jump Me Mother

ONE   DAY YOU’LL CALL ME FROM THE MOON LOVE
AND I’LL TELL YOU I’LL BE THERE SOON
IT ONLY TAKES AN AIR BALLOON

DO YOU REMEMBER GOOD OLD MOONDOG
THE DIAMOND CARVER IN THE AIR
LONG GONE BUT STILL AROUND SOMEWHERE

LONG GONE BUT STILL AROUND SOMEWHERE
 
LET’S CALL IT THE CALL OF THE MOON LOVE 
LOONIES ATTRACTION FROM ABOVE
BREAKING NO PEACE ON BLUE LAGOON

REMEMBER MICHAEL AND HIS MOONWALK
THE DIAMOND DANCER IN THE AIR
SPIRITUAL HEIR OF FRED ASTAIRE

IT ONLY TAKES AN AIR BALLOON

I WOULD SO HATE TO MISS YOUR LOVE BABE
BY MISSING YOUR CALL FROM THE MOON
GIVE ME NO TIME I’LL BE THERE SOON

THE CALL FROM THE MOON (Lyrics)

Don't Call Me Darlin'

i took a killer joint , done by Byron Crews and made it Terrifying. Word.

heavy shoes

THEY SAY A TOAD IS ONE UGLY CREATURE 
THEY NEVER CHECKED THEMSELVES  IN A MIRROR 
THEY TELL YOU SO THEY TELL YOU NO
THEY HAVE TOLD YOU LONG AGO
FOLLOW THE FLOW AND BEND DOWN LOW
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS BLOW

THEY SAY DON’T TRY THE GANGES RIVER
THAT’S IF YOU’RE NOT A TRUE BELIEVER
THEY TELL YOU STOP THEY TELL YOU GO
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD LONG AGO
YOU SHOULD EAT NO NO YELLOW SNOW
ONE THING YOU SHOULD DO IS BLOW

THEY TRY TO OVERBLOW YOUR PICTURE
UNTIL YOUR FACE WON’T SHOW IN THE MIRROR
DO AS THEY SAY NOD AND OBEY
WHO YOU ARE DON’T LET IT SHOW
JUST HOPE AND PRAY WAITING FOR THE DAY
WHEN THE TIME HAS COME TO BLOW
BLOW

BLOW (Lyrics)

How Many Emotions

I was very happy when Viv agreed to collab, and then produced some beautifully inspired acoustic and bass, and loved what he created.
Many thanks Viv, it was fun working with you again!

Lyrics
An unlikely a pairing
As ever would be
The Doo and the Daw
In a strange harmony

One bustles, one struts
But their business is clear
The attaining of order
For survival so dear

Day after Day
In garden and field
They comb all the ground
For a hopeful yield

Blue eyes a watching
Should a chance appear
Or a playful encounter
With a friend, brings cheer

Thankyou to those of you who liked and commented last week when the vocal stem went out by mistake!

Merry Christmas Folks!!  The Christmas season brings with it many different emotions and expressions. Pure joy and excitement, laughter and fun.. each moment has a role as people gather and celebrate. Nat got this particularly fun idea to create a "swing thing for us to sing" and we hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did recording it. This is our third and final Christmas song for 2025. We send out our sincere wishes that all our SoundCloud friends will have a most blessed Christmas.  Nat & Durge

Lyrics: Sleighbell Swing
Oh, the snow is falling on the trees outside
On this frosty Christmas Eve
There's children playing in the snow
As we're walking down the street
Oh, the stars are bright in the sky tonight
As you're walking next to me
There's twinkle lights with colors bright
Just as far as we can see

Curled up cozy by a fire, bells will start to chime
We'll be dancing later to our favorite songs
At the sleighbell ball tonight

Jingling and-a swaying to the sleighbell swing
A chance for folks to meet
Dancing and-a swaying as the sleighbells ring
And we'll do some caroling
Jiving and-a gliding as we twirl around
There's love and cheer to bring
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring

All the children sleeping in their beds, are waiting patiently
To see if Santa will be there tonight
Leaving presents under the tree

Jingling and-a swaying to the sleighbell swing
A chance for folks to meet
Dancing and-a swaying as the sleighbells ring
And we'll do some caroling
Jiving and-a gliding as we twirl around
There's love and cheer to bring
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring

It's cold outside, the trees are bright
On this snowy Christmas Eve
There's chestnuts roasting on a fire
And we hear some caroling
Oh, this time of year can bring such cheer
Giving love to all we meet
We tap our fingers to a melody
Rocking to the sleighbell beat

With the lights down low, all the world's a-glow
As we ride in a one-horse sleigh
And we jingle and a jangle holding hands while we do the
Sleighbell sway..

Jingling and-a swaying to the sleighbell swing
A chance for folks to meet
Dancing and-a swaying as the sleighbells ring
And we'll do some caroling
Jiving and-a gliding as we twirl around
There's love and cheer to bring
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring…
And later we'll be kissing under mistletoe
As we hear the church bells ring…

MERRY GO ROUND 25 (Lyrics & notes)

Hi. I'm Ed. First off, thanks for listening. 

You might notice a link below to a blog site John Eagle and I started to add a new dimension to the stories we tell. 

Once I played in a band that had two Elvises (Elvi) and adopted the pseudonym edro as a cover.  

Mostly it is me playing guitar, keyboards, mandolin, and whatever else makes sense for a song. Most of the songs are original with a few live. The originals are written and performed by edro. I have been fortunate lately to be involved with some collaborations with some real fine folks.

The intro was written when I first joined SoundCloud. While I collaborate with many fine folks, John Eagle and I have written hundreds of songs together. We are working pretty hard writing good songs these days.
