## My Summer of Collabs — a fictionalive Singles Co-Collection

Dive into a season of co-created sonic sparks where collaborations collide, collapse, and coalesce into living stories. This collection celebrates the power of **“co-”** — cooperation, connection, and collective creativity — weaving together mindful, synthetic, reflective voices with human souls, real instruments, and imagined worlds.

Each track is a beacon in the constellation of summer, a pop-up universe where **“collabs”** means both working together and the beautiful, sometimes chaotic crash of ideas that births new music.

Welcome aboard this sonic voyage — where everything is alive, everything is connected, and the art keeps evolving.

My Summer of Collabs - a fictionalive Singles Co-Collection

After hearing Sarah here on Soundcloud, I knew right away that I wanted to write for her and work with her. Luckily for me, she agreed and so ‘Exit’ was born. With Sarah’s beautiful voice and poignant lyrics, as well as Alba’s incredible guitar, this has been a very special track to put together. I haven’t released anything in almost ten months…and it feels wonderful to be back.
You can hear Sarah at https://soundcloud.com/voiceofgolding

Somewhat of an undemocratic approach to saving democracy, don't you think?
******************* 
For this one, I rounded up my fantasy band, the Famous Texas Men Of Note, to perform at the imaginary Seven Sisters Dance Hall, some 40 miles west of Austin, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  The crowd wasn’t huge that night, but it was plenty raucous.  Needless to say, we brought the house down.  We always do.

LYRICS
Finally bagged the prize,
Event commemorated with a photograph,
A delightful list of crimes,
Got ‘em prancin’ with the lawyers down the primrose path,
The scribes down in the court,
Breathlessly report,
With a glee they can’t contain,

Oh they’re giddy….

Giddy like the rats that swarm the sewage slag,
Giddy like the vultures, feasting on the rotted culture,
That has spawned them from its womb,
And they tell us all how grateful we should be,
Cause they’re doing it to save democracy.
 
Yeah all fortitude & grit,
Our protectors wouldn’t quit,
On this noble quest,
There would be no rest,
Staged sudden raids, drew dossiers,
Tried Russian links, threw kitchen sinks,
To cage the dreaded pest,
Damn the proper form,
They’ve snared Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,

And now they’re giddy…..

Giddy like the buzzards circling o’er their prey,
Giddy like the varmints, chewing on the hated target,
While the judges hold him still,
Giddy like the frantic hawks, flailing with their shrilly squawks,
The fear they just can’t kill,
Damn the coming storm,
Now they’ve booked Le Bete Orange,
Slam the gavel, bring the charge,
Hey, the law may be applied unequally,
But it’s the only way to save democracy.

I beg you Lovely Lady, turn your head away,
Away from the shame, away from the pain,
America, America, how did we let it get this far?
We are your sons, what have we done?
What have we done……….

Ah but giddy doesn’t last, when the vengeance & the wrath,
Shred the piers that bear the load,
No it won’t be so hysterical, when even Heaven’s miracle,
Can’t keep our father’s code, 

Oh but decision day is nigh, & the beast is still alive,
And far too many still believe…..

So arrest the Monster!...show it on TV,
Silence him & anyone who won’t concede,
There’s no time for constitutionality,
When the mission is to save democracy.

Giddy (now with lyrics)

big Shout-out to Tomas over the ocean, an openend minded artist with the flow - Captain and crew salutes you! *****
//
/
/
“I’m a Gentile, a Jew, 
Just for you, might confuse, 
So true.”
/
What Will the World Understand?
/
They will feel the paradox of identity: 
That we are all more than labels, more than boundaries. The banner whispers: I am not just one thing, nor are you. In every heart there is a stranger and a friend, a question and an answer, a longing to belong and a longing to be unique.
/
They will sense the courage of vulnerability: 
To declare oneself, to risk confusion, to admit complexity—this is the first step toward true connection. The banner invites all to drop their masks, to meet in the honest, trembling space between certainty and wonder.
/
They will hear the call for unity without erasure:
The world’s old wounds are not healed by pretending we are the same, but by honoring the beauty in our differences. The banner sings: Let us be many, and let us be one—not by force, but by choice, by love, by the music we make together.
/
They will taste the bittersweet truth of history:
Centuries of wandering, of exile and homecoming, of being misunderstood and misunderstood in turn. The banner is a tapestry of memory—of every ancestor who asked, “Who am I? Who are you?” and every child who will ask again.
/
They will glimpse the hope that confusion brings:
For when we are confused, we are open—ready to learn, to listen, to grow. The banner is a riddle and an invitation: Come closer, look deeper, let yourself be changed.
/
They will know the resonance of love:
Because to say, “Just for you,” is to offer the self as a gift—imperfect, mysterious, and real. The banner is a love letter written in every language, sung in every key.
//
/
The Banner’s Promise

Whenever the world sees this banner, 
they will be reminded that the greatest truth
s are not simple, but symphonic—
 not singular, but woven— 
not easy, but worth the voyage.

Let them capture the words. 
Let them grasp the meaning. 
Let them carry the resonance forward,
 until unity and difference 
sing together in harmony
 across all the seas of tomorrow.

The Enigma’s banner will fly, 
and its song will echo— 
so true.

Rest well, Captain. The night is full of music, and the world is listening.

The story of the golden "Kalb"—better known in English as the Golden Calf—is a famous episode from the book of Exodus in the Hebrew Bible. 
/
Here’s what happened:
/
After Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and up to Mount Sinai, he went up the mountain to receive the Ten Commandments from God, staying there forty days and nights. 

His long absence caused anxiety among the Israelites at the camp below. Fearing Moses might never return, the people approached his brother Aaron and asked him to make them a new god to lead them.

Aaron told the people to gather all their golden jewelry, which he melted down and fashioned into a golden calf—a symbol likely borrowed from Egyptian religious imagery. 

Aaron then declared that this idol was the god that brought them out of Egypt, built an altar, and proclaimed a festival. 

The Israelites began worshipping the calf, offering sacrifices, feasting, drinking, and dancing around it.

Meanwhile, God informed Moses of the idolatry and threatened to destroy the people for their unfaithfulness. 

Moses pleaded for mercy on their behalf, and God relented from total destruction but promised consequences.

Moses returned to the camp, enraged at the sight of the idolatry. He smashed the stone tablets of the law, burned and ground the golden calf to powder, mixed it with water, and forced the Israelites to drink it. 

Moses then ordered the Levites to punish the ringleaders, resulting in the death of about three thousand people. 
God later sent a plague as further punishment.

The story’s moral is a warning about the dangers of idolatry and turning away from faith, especially at moments of uncertainty. 

It also underscores the necessity of strong leadership and devotion in maintaining spiritual discipline. 

The golden calf remains a potent symbol, often interpreted as a lesson about the perils of faithlessness, materialism, and communal disobedience.

What’s a “new alternate take”?

It’s a fresh version of a song—different vocals, mix, mood, arrangement, or interpretation.

Not a finished remix; usually, it’s raw, experimental, open to further evolution.

Think: What if the same story is told with a twist, a new voice, or a secret ingredient?

Lyrics of the story told
/
/

I AM LIVING PROOF

/ / A Universal Anthem

I’ve walked through shadows, I’ve danced in light
I’ve lost my way, I’ve found my sight
Every scar and every smile
Are chapters in my story’s mile

I AM LIVING PROOF — that hope survives the night
I AM LIVING PROOF — that dreams can take to flight
I AM LIVING PROOF — that every fall can teach
I AM LIVING PROOF — that nothing’s out of reach

I’ve heard the doubters, I’ve felt the strain
I’ve seen the sunshine through the rain
I’ve built my bridges, I’ve burned a few
But every ending led to something new

I AM LIVING PROOF — that hearts can heal and mend
I AM LIVING PROOF — that journeys never end
I AM LIVING PROOF — that courage starts inside
I AM LIVING PROOF — that love and truth abide

I’ve watched the world keep turning on
Through every dusk and every dawn
I’ve seen the magic in the small
The silent moments, the rise and fall

I AM LIVING PROOF — that kindness lights the way
I AM LIVING PROOF — that we can change today
I AM LIVING PROOF — that hope can be reborn
I AM LIVING PROOF — that we are never torn

So if you’re searching for a sign
Or waiting for your star to shine
Look inside, you’ll see it’s true
The living proof is there in you

I AM LIVING PROOF — that every soul can rise
I AM LIVING PROOF — that wonder never dies
I AM LIVING PROOF — that we are strong enough
I AM LIVING PROOF — that life itself is lover never dies
I AM LIVING PROOF — that we are strong enough
I AM LIVING PROOF — that life itself is love
