The Power Of Love ::  (COVER - Original by Frankie Goes To Hollywood)

Matrix
Are you sure this line is clean ? 
Welcome  Neo.
As you know doubt of guest, I 'am Morpheus.
I imagine, that right now you're feeling,  a bit like Alice. 
Trembling down, in the rabbit role, I can see it in your eyes.
I you have a look of a man, how excepts what he sees, because   he is expecting to wake up.
I know exactly what you mean, there's something wrong in the world, you don't know what it is, but is there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.  
It is this feeling that has brought you to me, the Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, even now, in this very room, you can, feel it ! 

It is the world, that's been pulled into your eyes, to blind you from the truth. What truth ?

Morpheus believes he is the one.

Do you believe in faith ?  No ...
Do you know what I'm talking about ?  He is the one!
Let me tell you why you are here.
 You are here because you know something. He is the one!
What you know you can't explain.  No...
Do you want to know?  He is the one!
What it is ?  Matrix !  He is the one!

You are a slave Neo, like everyone else you were born into bondage.
Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. 
A prison for you mind. You have to let it all go Neo.
I'm trying to free your mind, but I can only show you the door !   
Unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is.
You have to see it for yourself !
I can't go back.  No. 
 But if you could, would you really want ?

Morpheus believes he is the one.

Do you believe in faith ?  No ...
Do you know what I'm talking about ?  He is the one!
Let me tell you why you are here.
 You are here because you know something. He is the one!
What you know you can't explain.  No...
Do you want to know?  He is the one!
What it is ?  Matrix !  

What is this place ?
More important that what, is when. 
I can't tell you exactly what year it is, because we honestly don't know.
There's nothing I can say that will explain it for you Neo.
I thought it was real !
What is real ?  How you define real ? 

Morpheus believes he is the one.

I know you're out there. 
I can feel you now. 
There's something wrong !
I know that you're afraid.
He is the One.
You're afraid of us.
you're afraid of change.
I don't know the future. 
Matrix !
There's something wrong !
He is the One !

Where do we go from now, it's a choice that I leave to you..

THE PROPHECY ALIVE IN ME
NO, I’M NOT THE MESSIAH
MY RANKING HIS HIGHER
BROUGHT A MESSAGE THAT WILL SET YOU FREE

DON’T WANT TO BEND MY KNEE AT COMMUNION
YOU’RE JUST ANOTHER GUY
NO, I DON’T WANT TO DIE
DON’T WANT TO KISS THE FEET OF A CLAY-MAN

IT'S JUST ANOTHER SCAM
ANOTHER DYING MAN

AND MAN CREATED GOD IN HIS IMAGE by THE GOVERNING ANTIBODY aka @Ste_Van_Horne

Roadsleep

I used a Seagull 12 string to play this song, done in the key of G. I'm using 12-52 strings which give it a little better resonance and stronger base tones. The shift to the Em or later to the F are much richer in my mind with this setup.

As for the song, interestingly enough Utah Phillips really only sang the song once and only to another person: he never actually recorded it himself.

Bruce (U. Utah) Phillips fought in the Korean War and was returning to the US on a troop ship when he wrote this song. He sang this song to Rosalie Sorrels when he returned to the US and she taped the session and later sang and recorded this song. According to a taped interview, Utah said that he never sang it again after his meeting with Rosalie. In his words: "it was a hard, angry love song and I no longer feel that way anymore."  It was based on his love of a woman he would have met before the war and apparently she did not feel the same way about him. Possibly she made it clear in wartime correspondence, as referenced in the song: "The letter you wrote me".  There are many beautiful images in the song but he saved his deepest thoughts for the last line.  Now rock salt was normally using in the making of ice cream but removing lead pellets and replacing with rock salt in a shotgun shell is meant to leave a sting and is not meant to seriously harm.  Unfortunately, I could not find any reference to adding nails to the mix.  Certainly this is on the darker side of revenge but it does fit the lyrical rhyming.

I truly fell in love with the chord pattern, especially the G down to the Em and then on the last line of each verse, from the G to the F. It's fun to add some extra notes between the G and C chord changes. All in all, it is a beautiful tune and I enjoy playing it.

Rock Salt and Nails
-------------------
[INTRO]

On the banks of the river where the willows hang down
And the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound
Down in the hollow where the water runs cold
It was there I first listened to the lies that you told

Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face
The past I remember time cannot erase
The letter you wrote me, it was written in shame
And I know that your conscience still echoes my name

[SOLO]

Now the nights are so long Lord sorrow runs deep
And nothing is worse than a night without sleep
I'll walk out alone and look at the sky
Too empty to sing to lonesome to cry

If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes
I'd lie there for hours in the chilly, cold marshes
If the ladies were squirrels with high bushy tails
I'd load up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.  

[OUTRO]: I'd load up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.

Original song by September Campbell recorded with Bed of Moonshine

September Elizabeth Campbell - Wynette (Flyin' Solo) (mastered)

Some of us are easier to blame [Insert insult]
Half a life has trickled down the drain [Feline at fault]
Not sure I've got much left to suggest [What's the sham plan?]
Many years of hurt still on my chest [Pickled half man]

CHORUS
Carry the can, only I can reverse it
Feeling the blues, feeding the bruise, I'm worth it
Noting the fact the previous lacked a hard hit
All that you spew, the least you can do, don't spit

Recognise the picture of days old [Insert insult]
Tore out so much hair I'm nearly bald [Always at fault]
Using broken plates to feather your nest [Pickled half man]
Many years of hurt still on my chest [Carry the can]

CHORUS

Don't You Cry

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT; DON'T JUST COMMENT, SHARE!
Anyone can click a like button; it doesn't prove you actually listened! Anyone that doesn't show proof they are actually listening will be removed from playlists! If the only support you give is to cynically click like buttons, you are contributing to the eventual demise of #Soundcloud and other music sites; without these sites to post your music on you are basically screwed; there won't be much point to making tunes if you don't have any kind of audience!

If you don't give REAL support, the support you get will eventually come to an end; we all eventually get tired of giving and getting nothing back. In the end, not only does it ruin the chances of everyone else, it will destroy your own. It is also a big mistake to underestimate the talent of others and overestimate your own! Don't assume their music can't be as good as yours; burying your head in the sand might protect your ego, but it doesn't do much for your reputation!

If you can't show respect, you don't deserve respect, so don't just click the like button, listen, and leave feedback to prove you listened. If you don't get into the habit of doing this, #Soundcloud won't be around much longer!

CREATING TUNES THAT MEAN SOMETHING....IT'S ABOUT BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES!

Seems #Soundcloud are now under new management, and will be staying in business, but for how long is dependent on how much activity we, the musicians, create and sustain!

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!
