Some of my Soundcloud Favourites #194

My oldest daughter told me if I wanted to do music like this, I needed to add drops. Fine. Here's one. And there's one. And here's another for the road...

I Was Lost For Awhile

The Smoking Trout collaborative's Quest for the Holy Dumpling, episode 7 finds our traveling band of protagonists hitting on some good luck after we left them 'out of food and out of gas' at the end of the last installment of our work-in-progress concept album.

On this one, I came up with a beat and synth score as step 1. Then Jeff added some fantastic vocals and Stephen brought in a killer guitar groove. We always have tons of fun making these, hope you will enjoy listening as well!

Lyrics:

Sally ls a hero, found a hundred dollar bill and a sack of Skittles
ln between the Cushions of the couch-
Sid and MaryAnn are at the local bloodbank
peddling pints of plasma
for fifty bucks a pop-
Maurice and Nostradamus are at the western Union
picking up three hundred dollars
from their grandma ln Tacoma

Gus ls working on the Bus
ln the episcopalian Parklng lot
and even got two hundred dollars from the congregation-
Stu he's got a Visa card which he never uses
Ubered over to the lucky Ladles where he's playing black jack
hoping for a Major Parlay--Hoping for a major Parlay-----

Larry and Roberta, while beggin for some buckshees
and playln muslc on the corner at the farmers market
met a Sufi sitting on the sidewalk
serenely spouting scripture from the 
Transcendental Dharma of the Holy Dumpling

Along with baking soda, salt, wheat and water
A heavy leavening of responsibility ls required ln the making--
and some mushrooms only growing ln Oaxaca
lf you wanna make that dumpling, she sald
you're gonna have to go
To Mexico

A Major Parlay (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #7) w/ Stonerjazz & TexMex Shaman

Cast of Characters:
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark—piano, composition

Mysterious Decibel--@themysteriousdecibel --MD—lyrics and primary vocals

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –organ, synth

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion, arrangement, production, mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass guitar, lap steel

This was brought to us by Mark, who had written it a while back, but wanted to dust it off and give the Eclectic Collective a shot at it. He recorded it with a keen eye toward collaboration with an electric piano synth with heavy stereo tremolo. We just recently found Mark, and he has proven to be a very creative, passionate, and easy to work with collaborator—all the good things.
Mark set it loose to me first, and I, of course, got Ken in on the act before anything else could transpire. After Ken added his wildly creative, very skillful drum beat, I was able to come up with a suitable bass line. I also came up with the lap slide part you hear with the heavy tremolo. Then we turned it over to Stephen, who added a very psychedelic, electrifying solo at the end. Also, JJ set upon it with a very hooky organ.
Last, but certainly not least, MD came up with the lyrics, which are a metaphor for trying to break into the business of music, and delivered them with his fiery vocals, too. Then, we all realized that the song wasn't long enough for our ambitions, so Ken came up with an idea for the arrangement, and lengthened the song to suit our needs. He also very ably mixed and produced this one for us. We had a lot of fun working on Mark's tune. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrics (by The Mysterious Decibel):

Sometimes when we shout they can't hear us under the flow
Of the rapids

I'm screaming from the other side of the river
A shot to try
can you hear me?
I'm jumping in and swimming straight to you

All I can say is I tried
I tried and I met my own waterfall
A short way down
Did I try hard enough?
Cuz I hit the rocks below just hard enough
To hibernate me without a care
It's all just business and never fair

Will Time Ever Stop?

Dear friends,
not all people celebrate Christmas, but all people can still be kind and considerate. All religions should absolutely preach peace, understanding and caring!
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and peace and quiet in the world.

Desire for a Merry Christmas 
The days have come to our world
when all folks should be happy
The bells are ringing from early morning
and the sound is heard far away
and all hatred is gone even in the poor
soldiers who are at war

 Chorus
The bells are heard all over the globe
and every eye shows the sign
that something has occured - the world has become new

In my country the winter has arrived
and lots of snow has fallen down
then lights from candels are seen in distant shores
it’s a sign for all that it’s peace
and all soldiers are burying the guns that they have and go
back to their wifes and kids

 Chorus
The bells are heard all over the globe
and every eye shows the sign
that something has occured - the world has become new

Desire for a Merry Christmas

Love is the foundation of our lives! This is a piece for all who experience love and share love with others. I dedicate it to my wife who has accompanied me for three decades of my life, for better and for worse. But this song is very universal! Enjoy listening!!!

Love Song

LOOK DEEPER INSIDE

I don’t want no pain today
All I can do is sit and pray
Hope these blues will go away
Forget about the things you do
And the words you say

Always been there, you know it’s true
Did the things a friend should do
Always on your side, I defended you
No matter what they said I believed in you

You’re so cold and ungrateful
Disrespect me like a fool
You think that you’re untouchable
Have you lost your heart and soul

Always been there, you know it’s true
Did the things a friend should do
Always on your side, I defended you
No matter what they said I believed in you

Look a little deeper,
Deeper inside
Share your secrets
Please don’t hide

Don’t play Dr Jekyll
And Mr. Hyde with me

Look a little deeper,
Deeper inside
Share your secrets,
Please don’t hide

Don’t play Dr Jekyll
And Mr. Hyde with me

Look a little deeper,
Look a little deeper,
I believed in you
I believed in you

Look deeper inside. (Backing vocals) Cosmic Keanu

The Rhythm Of Life
In the rhythm of life———navigate the strife 
Painting visions of a world ———beyond the knife 
From the concrete streets ——-to the stars so bright 
Dreams fuel the fire——————igniting the night 
In the mosaic of cultures——-colors so bright mo—za—ik A 
canvas of dreams —————painted in the night 
No borders can confine ———the spirit's flight 
Together we rise———with——our collective might

Through struggles and triumphs———we find our theme 
Empowering messages———————————a vibrant stream 
Let the rhythm of unity ———be our guide 
In the vast expanse——————-dreams co—-in—cide 
Elevate the mind————————-let the spirit soar 
Break the chains———limitations———be —-no more
 In unity -we stand—————no matter what-the weather
 Empower each other—— 
To make—the whole world better

From different corners—————-diverse reflections 
Global perspectives———————a shared connections 
In this symphony of dreams———we harmonize 
Aspirations taking flight————— reaching for—the skies 
No boundaries constrain ————-the dreams we chase 
——Every obstacle met——Embraced —-with grace 
Empowering minds————————uniting hearts
 ——A global movement——where every dream starts

In the tapestry of life———where dreams intertwine 
Unified visions——————-—a rhythm so divine 
From the urban streets ——-to mountains high 
We breaking through limits———to touch the sky 
In the tapestry we weave——dreams on display
 Empower the mind——letting—doubts ——decay 
From city blocks to————-landscapes vast 
Uniting Present Future and Past

Memory Foam

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.
