Revolved b

written and recorded 2014 by andrew salvner (aka pretzels malone)

the track art is the torn up backside of one of my favorite basement chairs.  my cat verbal (who ain't here no more) would go to town on my basement furniture.  we had a deal, and for his part, he did a good job of leaving our upstairs stuff relatively unharmed.  the chair from the pic is honestly not all that comfy, but i miss my buddy...and when i sit there i like to pretend that he's behind me going to town keeping his shit sharp.

the song has nothing to do with my cat.  i wrote it for a friend.

them words:
you gotta be stronger than your heart.  because he swears to you that he cares for you, but he's tearing you apart.

bonus stuff:  (who hoo...bonus!!)

there is another very different version of this song.  the music is much faster and completely backwards.  and the vocals are completely different.  i made a video if you want to watch :)

the acoustic guitar and bass lines were recorded on 4-track cassette.  i moved the tracks over individually to my laptop using audacity.  i did a ton of editing.  i then added the vocals and beatbox straight to audacity (using the 4-track as a vocal amp).

the first half of my pretzels page is pure 4-track recordings.  recently most of my recordings are much more like this.  some kind of weird in-breed of cassette and free downloaded multi tracker.

that's all.  i hope you feel bonus'd.  :D

Sooner  or  later,  sooner  or  later,
Let the engines glow,  3  2  1  let's  go
Sooner  or  later,  we'll  head  for  the  stars,
We've  been  to  the  Moon,  got  a  date  set  for  Mars,
Space  exploration,  to  places  afar,
Sooner  or  later  we'll  go,  no doubt  about  it  I   know
Space  exploration,  creates  fascination
Planets  beyond  our  Sun,  we  can't  be the only one
Out  there  beyond  the  stars  we  can  see,
Light  years  away,  lots  more  galaxies,
Head  for  the  future,  for  our  destiny,
Sooner  or  later  we'll  go,  no doubt  about  it  I   know
Alien  creatures,  might  even  reach  us,
From  planets  beyond  our  Sun,  we  can't  be  the  only  one
The  stars  that  we  see  are  just  suns  in  the  skies,
On  some  distant  planets  not  seen  by  our  eyes,
We've  got  to go  out  there,  to  enlighten  our  lives
Sooner  or  later  we'll  go,  no doubt  about  it  I   know
Sooner  or  later,  sooner  or  later,      
The  journey  has  just  begun,
Travelling  beyond  our  Sun,      
The  journey  has  just  begun,            
Sooner  or  later, sooner  or  later, we'll  go

__________________________________________________________

The Carpenters are the Favourite band of all my celebrities.

Their songs have been a part of my childhood, my teenage years and even
now. Especially Karen's voice.
She had a fairly deep, medium-range voice, warm and colorful,
with an exceptional tone.
She was not only a singer, but also a very talented drummer.
Her brother Richard also has an extraordinary voice and does a lot of
backing vocals.

Their two voices alone amply cover the harmony of their tracks.
They're Unique.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love this song; it's well-paced, as well as the bass and especially the drums.
For me, this song is very hard to sing, 
because the key starts off very low and rises quite high,
and the tempo also increases.

Honestly, I struggled to keep up with the rhythm in both choruses.
As I was saying, my voice isn't what it was 20-30 years ago. 🙂

This track is my very personal take at the Koan "Hear the Clap of your Hand". My lyrics version (https://soundcloud.com/konrad-spittelberg/the-clap-of-one-hand-pp) might make things clearer. (yes, this is my sneaky strategy to guide you from one song to another :-))

Compositionwise, the track is roughly split into two equal parts. The first part introduces its cinematic theme in the very beginning, taking it thereafter up several times with slightly different accentuations and rhythms which gives it a fresh feel with different highlighted nuances in each repetition. Several interludes contribute to the cinematic feeling. 

The second part, starting @1.53 starts by a more Jazzy version of the main theme. However, from 2.20 onwards, it is very restricted in its harmonies - only two harmonies are used from thereon until the end, C major and C# major. The tension arises purely from the rhythmic changes (such as the shift from 4/4 to 3/4 @3.17 and back), climaxing at the end.

The Clap of One Hand (Piano Miniature)

Having to destroy yourself in order to begin again.
From the album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept 2025)

Bandung, sea of flames
In 1946, the people of Bandung Indonesia
They had risen up against their British oppressors
Realizing that their army was weaker
And much less powerful
They decided to abandon the city
They adopted a scorched earth policy as they left the city
Burning the city to the ground
And one day start again...

Horizons

I had the very good fortune to connect with Andy H aka “Noobly” a few months ago over music that we mutually admired and we agreed to find a future opportunity to collaborate. This is the result. Noobly’s beautifully rich track, propelled by his soaring guitar work, felt like a kind of call to prayer to my ear. I tried to echo this somewhat in singing the bridge. Lyrically, just for kicks I used the Socratic Method to construct the verses (persuasion through Q&A) so that this song’s meaning becomes self-evident and hopefully more of a personal experience for each listener. Thanks for checking it out!

Prideful Pride

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you

Do you remember the day when pride took you for its own
When a thief stole something precious in you
Did it happen when all of your friends cut you out
Was your heart set on winning something, but you lost instead
And when you were maimed did the anger in you surge
Can you mark the moment when you became someone else
Is your truth under layers of scar and combat
Are you the new thief, looting joy from everywhere

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

And in the end you’ll be left with nothing
A bright light that’s gone too dim
I have been in a prison of my own before, just like you
Until I let the facade fall
And was set free, free

Are things more difficult now that you are going it alone
And do you leave enough room for both your sadness and your anger
Does that wall keep scary things in, and the invaders out
Are you winning this imaginary war you think you’re fighting

Prideful pride keeps piling on, on, on
Building your walls, ’can’t go wrong, wrong, wrong
Finding it hard to get along, along, along
Your pride is killing you, long before you’re gone, gone, gone

Wo Oh Oh Oh
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ow
Old times
When we were alive

Old time energy 
It's comin' over me, me
Just wanna feel you 
In my veins

Babe we are long gone
Eh Ee Yeah

In the grave, grave

Eh Ee Yeah
Ahn Wo Wo Wo
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Wo Oh How

Well, well, well
We are once alive
Heart to heart

Once alive 
In that old time energy
That keeps me movin' on
Even though we are 
Lost and gone, Yeah
Lost and gone Babe, Oo

Yeah Ee Yeah
Can you hear me callin'
Do you hear me call
Call your name, a name

And the fire burns me
In, in the grave
In the ground
It's only dust

ECOLOGY 😮-😡😡😡

EVERY TREE CUT DOWN OR DELIBERATELY PRUNED (so that it falls on its own later...) GREATLY AMPLIFIES GLOBAL WARMING, THE CAUSES OF WHICH ARE VERY MULTIPLE, PRIMARILY THE ACTIVITY OF THE SUN.
YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELVES THAT THOSE WHO GOVERN US ARE NOT THE LAST TO GIVE THEIR AGREEMENT TO THIS DESTRUCTIVE MASSACRE... THIS HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY VERIFIABLE AND VISIBLE ON THE SEASIDE FOR MANY YEARS!!! A REAL SCANDAL!
THERE IS NO SURVEILLANCE, NO FINES, JUST LAXITY, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.
THIS INTENSIVE AND ORGANIZED DISAPPEARANCE OF TREES HAS MANY HARMFUL CONSEQUENCES FOR LIVING THINGS AND THE PLANET, UNDENIABLY ALTERING THE CLIMATE. 

ÉCOLOGIE 😮-😡😡😡

CHAQUE ARBRE COUPÉ OU TAILLÉ DÉLIBÉRÉMENT (pour qu'il tombe tout seul plus tard...) AMPLIFIE CONSIDÉRABLEMENT LE RÉCHAUFFEMENT CLIMATIQUE, DONT LES CAUSES SONT MULTIPLES, EN PREMIER LIEU L'ACTIVITÉ DU SOLEIL.
VOUS POUVEZ CONSTATER QUE CEUX QUI NOUS GOUVERNENT NE SONT PAS LES DERNIERS À DONNER LEUR ACCORD À CE MASSACRE DESTRUCTEUR... CELA EST PARTICULIÈREMENT VÉRIFIABLE ET VISIBLE SUR LES BORDS DE MER DEPUIS DE NOMBREUSES ANNÉES !!! UN VÉRITABLE SCANDALE !
IL N'Y A AUCUNE SURVEILLANCE, AUCUNE AMENDE, JUSTE DU LAXISME, COMME TOUT LE RESTE.
CETTE DISPARITION INTENSIVE ET ORGANISÉE DES ARBRES A DE NOMBREUSES CONSÉQUENCES NÉFASTES POUR LES ÊTRES VIVANTS ET LA PLANÈTE, MODIFIANT INDÉNIABLEMENT LE CLIMAT.

The Trees

🌳🌳  The Trees  🌳🌳

Proud to announce my first collaboration with folk string artist extraordinaire Don Jennings.  Don establishes the feel of the song with his strong rhythm strumming--almost the feel of a Celtic stomp, trying to get the mud off one's boots, but allows me plenty of space for my Requinto guitar that sounds a little like a mandolin in the center-left channel.  It is fun music, at least until you have to get the mud off your own boots;)  Hear more of Don's truly fine acoustic artistry @https://soundcloud.com/user-399104119

It Ain't Me Babe - Bob Dylan Cover

Secret Caves LoveSongs edition: Carrie, Simon, Joe, Caligula Jr

the night tide creatures
want your love
come see about 
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows
she’ll stroke your stitches
it’s never enough
so come ride 
the white lightning 
whip her shape shift
through the narrows

night tide creatures
hold my hand
oh! the chemical preachers
man bold double features
on shifting sand
night tide creatures
let me go
all the spidery teachers
with sickly stained features
spray “on with the show”

and you can 
flash that revolver, come on
and you can swear 
your broke heart
to the river
well she was here last night, yes
now she’s gone
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows
the most beautiful girl
on the gallows

night tide creatures
hold my hand
oh! the chemical preachers
man bold double features
on shifting sand
night tide creatures
let me go
all the spidery teachers
with sickly stained features
spray “on with the show”

and you can flash that revolver
come on

the night tide creatures
want your love
the night tide creatures
oh they want your love
oh they want your love

love song 666

Cantus

The time was passing hopelessly slowly at that time.
I had too much free time on my hands, everyday.

My girlfriend said that you couldn't know the heart of others.
We broke up in a short time. But I got old as it is.

Long afternoon of 1984.
I was despairing of my youth.


I didn't know what I wanted to do at all.
But I had the time a lot. I was always bored.

I thought that the "future" would begin someday.
There was a war in Iraq. I was not interested in it

Long afternoon of 1984.
The future was hopeless.


I was living irresponsibly, so I became an unreliable man.
The future has already begun and I have no memories.

The boring long afternoon is still continuing.
I'm still playing a guitar and thinking about the love.

Long afternoon of 1984.
I was despairing of my youth.

Long afternoon of 1984.
The future was hopeless.

Long afternoon of 1984

Recorded in Terlingua Ghost Town church in Texas just outside of Big Bend National Park. This old run down church was open and empty and had that holy natural reverb so we crawled in like sneaky children and sang a song. 


Just Like Heaven (in Terlingua Ghost Town)

No subtitles are available for these sounds.
I do not have the correct change for the machine.
Thats not a queue, Its a procession,
