All I Want Is The Truth

Kind of a feel out night at the Jam studio with a new bass player who had never done improv. So, many tunes are just really works in progress, played live and unedited for the most part. It was a 3 1/2 hour worth of music evening jam and party which ended at 2am. These 9 songs were the best of the night, but many others I didnt include here due to too many errors.
Live Fall of 2017, an IMPROV JAM at Cloudland Studios with the original cloudy guys. Marshall Carlson on Drums and Vocals/Lyrics, Ricco Caliendo on Vocals/Lyrics, Dave D on Guitar, Stevo Cloud our host and on slide Guitar, Kevin on Bass (for Biernat), Larry Philabaum on Keys and other instruments,  plus Jon Mercer on Congas. All songs performed live and unrehearsed, so there are some missed notes and pauses as we try to find our grooves.

We've Got To Break Through

Gotta Get Up!

(Verse 1)
Alarm screaming—-city dreaming—a new chapter unfolds
Sun peeking—-in my window—the concrete jungle glows
Eyes heavy—mind hazy—- the grind doesn’t sleeps
Coffee steaming—thoughts scheming—gotta conquer these streets
Shower spray—wash the haze—feel the water sting
Hustle fuel—pay my dues—ain't got time to sing

(Chorus)
Gotta get up, gotta get out, chase the paper, chase the clout
Stacking—dreams, lemme break it down—-every second counts
Gotta push, gotta move————ain't got ——-no time to lose
Sun's up--city's up--gotta get up—— got—- to much shit —to do

(Verse 2)
Concrete canvas—-spray paint anthems——gotta keep it real
Flow so cold—-hearts unfold——words that cut like steel
Subway rush——city bus—-rhymes ignite and spark
My paint brush——tells a story——graffiti in the dark
Meetings—deadlines——paper piles——climbing up-the ladder
through the fog——dog eat dog——it’s loyalty that matters
Family call——hear 'em all———-voices in my head
Keep on rapping——-keep on tapping——keep that fire fed

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Empire—dreams—-concrete schemes—-building from the ground
Every beat———-every street———there’s legends to be found
Rise above——-peace and love——-spirit’s —taking flight
Break the mold——-that’s the goal——to —-let the soul ignite

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

(Outro)
gotta get up——gotta get up—-ain't no stopping—-this here flow
Like a symphony—-in harmony———-the—-story grow
Every rhyme—every dime———-echoes through this jungle 
Gotta get up, gotta get up———to—-do the daily hustle

Gotta Get Up

Falling Down skid

This piece took several years to come together, I didn't want to force it but rather allow it to emerge organically - I wanted it to sound lonely, sad - and reflective of my time in the desert of my mind - alone. There is a certain beauty even in sadness, loneliness, that I wanted to capture, I just hope someone might enjoy it.

Musik ist die beste Brücke, um uns Musiker zu verbinden, die wir sonst eher als Inseln in der Welt umherschippern. Diese EP hat mich mit meinen liebsten Mitmusikern zusammengebracht und ich freue mich, dass ihr das Ergebnis jetzt endlich hören könnt!

Music is the best bridge to connect us musicians, who we otherwise tend to drift around like islands. This EP brought me together with my favorite musicians and I'm happy to share the result with you!

01 - I Get It

Dear friends, sometimes you can use music for political messages.
We have now had a big election for the European Union. You can clearly see that the right-hand winds blow strongly, especially on the continent, not in the Nordic countries, however.
I think this is due to a great deal of dissatisfaction with the policies that have been pursued - action on climate change costs - and it costs a lot for ordinary people. We also have a bloody, disgusting war against Ukraine and terrible wars in the Middle East. Who is right??
However, music unites us all.

The Election

Today I voted for the kindest of the
delegates from here
The say that they care for everybody living on this spot
no matter how folk looks or what they think
all the people are welcome to join our society
and in peace


The winds from the right might be so dangerous for the
people down here
The freedom to speak may be limited or non-existing here
in the totalitarian state that we may get
if the right winds are blowing and our hats start to blow far away
with the wind

How come that these winds are here - they maybe reflect 
despondency here
There are anxiety everywhere and many people have died in cruel wars
and many people lack money for to spend
and all crime is in full bloom and there is no one who know what to do
in the end

The Election

My first work recorded in Kharkiv during the war. They will never steal our peace of mind... My dear Dad was always with me when I was a child, but now we've been apart for over 2 years due to the war. My parents' home exists only in my memory. I wish all the children in Ukraine whose fathers have to defend the country peace and reunion of their families.

See You in the Movies performs a live acoustic set in my living room!

This song Began as a very Nice progressive/swing  tune titled "A Mood of Two" created by the Furico music Team and one of my favorites of theirs, several years ago-- Teth Sin (Mick) decided to do a collab/remix and asked me to supply some lyrics--i had some in the can from a song Called "Beloved Sisters of the storm" 
So Mick Masterfully put this Beautiful Progessive Swing tune together with all of us and honored me by naming it after lyrics in the Song--and has graciously allowed me to release it on my Page though It got major play, just in case you missed this brilliant tune, here it is--Cheers:)

lyrics

i don't think i'm going home, this thing won't leave me alone..I've got fragments of the sun and moon imbedded in the core of my cerebral stem.. and of course there is that key That's allegedly buried in this pile of sacred rocks in space that supposedly unlocks the gate that holds the dog and holds the bone and blocks the path that takes me home.

Check yourself, what are you feeling at the present moment..Some times i can feel the giant moving slightly in it's sleep.. just like Vishnu dreaming high in the mountain valleys of the mighty Himalayas.

The tiny silver thread, transcendent of the reckless life we led, A raging river way down below. The moment when you finally realize it's finally time to go..
oh beloved sister's of the Storm, thank you for appearing in your human form

what could i do, what could i say, i guess i thought that i was on my way to another nervous breakdown..The taste of life so sweet upon our tongues, We were Gods when we were young...

The Mighty Himalayas-with Teth Sin & The Furico Music Team

Once I wrote a longer description here: a love song in 7/4 ¿or 14/8?

Silvia II (Lo que siento por ti) /  Silvia II (What I feel for you)

Es de difícil clasificación  /  It is difficult to be classified
dentro de las variedades del amor  /  among all varieties of love
lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  what I feel for you, what I feel …

Sólo sé que no puedo vivir sin ti,  /  I only know I can’t live without you,
no puedo ver sentido a mi vida si no estás aquí.  /  I can’t find sense to my life if you are not here.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando todo va bien  /  When everything goes fine
lo que me une a ti es tu forma de ser,  /  what joins me to you is your way of being,
es muy fácil ver  /  it is very easy to see
todos tus encantos de mujer.  /  all your woman's charms.

Una idea que no puedo soportar  /  An idea that I cannot bear
es verte en brazos de otro, en otro lugar.  /  is seeing you in other one’s arms, in another place.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

No puedo imaginar  /  I cannot imagine
tu voz susurrando a otro compás.  /  your voice whispering to another compass.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
puedo contemplar tus defectos con claridad.  /  I can behold  your faults with clarity.
Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
sólo quiero escapar a otro lugar.  /  only I want to escape to another place.

Grab it !!
