FALL

A heartfelt ballad about traveling alone after a breakup, where the singer misses the golden days of love and yearns for his lost companion. The smooth vocals and gentle instrumentation create an emotional and introspective atmosphere

Niebla y neón: distopía

Hoy la niebla no permite ver
el paseo por el cielo azul
que dará el sol y nos roba ese placer.
Sin embargo nos regalará
una estampa de secreta luz
singular en la inmensidad.

Estribillo

No existe la verdad ni la seguridad
la certeza ya no está y todo es dudar.
En esa desazón hay una excepción
que nos guiará en la inquietud: las luces de neón.
---------------
El sol se ve en la prisión
y sin cumplir con su misión
sigue con fe peleando
pero no está alumbrando.

Pues la noche pronto va a caer
y la bruma todo cubrirá
hasta que por fin surja un nuevo amanecer.
Mientras tanto hay que descubrir
lo que el ciclo nos deparará

Estribillo

Fog and Neon: Dystopia

Today, the fog prevents us from seeing
the sun's journey through the blue sky
and robs us of that pleasure.
However, it will give us
a glimpse of secret light
unique in the immensity.

Chorus

There is no truth or security
certainty is no longer there, and everything is doubt.
In this unease, there is one exception
that will guide us through our anxiety: the neon lights.
---------------
The sun sees itself in prison
and, without fulfilling its mission,
it continues to fight with faith
but it is not shining.

For night will soon fall
and the fog will cover everything
until a new dawn finally emerges.
In the meantime, we must discover
what the cycle will bring us

NOT THE ONLY ONE
[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

[Verse 1]
‘Cuz deep down I know, if I’m feelin’ it
You’re feelin’ the walls closing in, too
Oh, and I wonder how you’re dealin’ with it
Discerning the falsities from the true

[Verse 2]
Now, I see your broken face up on my screen
From my living room and my heart hurts
Seems in America there’s little grass that’s green
And I hate to think it’s just deserts

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Ooooooh-oooooh

[Verse 3]
And it’s hard to say which one of ‘em is worst
The puppets or those pulling the strings
All I know is that this country is cursed
For the greed of men and shiny things

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad-sad-sad just the same

Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh
Oooooh-oooooh, Oooooh-Ooooooh

[Verse 4]
And when I’m feeling I was born too late
As if those who came before us had it better
If we could travel to an earlier state
We’d find ourselves one bird of a feather

[Chorus]
I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody’s suffering
Looking for someone to blame
Oh, I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad, sad just the same
Just the same…Oh, I’m sad-sad-sad just same

I’m glad I’m not the only one
But I’m sad just the same
‘Cuz everybody is suffering
Tired of playin’ the game..

Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh
Ooooooh-ooooooh, Ooooooh-ooooooh

NOT THE ONLY ONE

The THREE LINE WHIP 

A little satirical nonsense about how our politicians speak to their long suffering voters …so lets dance the “Three Line Whip”…

Words and Music by Goff Johnson 

Lyrics

Verse 1
Theres’s artistry in politics, beyond the lies and dirty tricks
And paths to power through ivy schools, and Law degrees and intern pools
See you gotta learn to communicate, in ways us simple folk relate 
And you only need to count to three - and build it incrementally!

Chorus
[ONE] First of all don’t take the blame, “we got this mess from what’s-his-name” 
[TWO] Next find some common story we might buy
[THREE] Then stitch the pitch to things you do – might not be relevant (or even half true!) , but you always gotta end it with “That’s why…” 

[and that my friends is how you dance the “Three line Whip”] 

[“a-one, two three…AND”]

Verse 2
Now I know you think we peeps ain’t bright, whereas you’re mental dynamite 
So it’s “Build Back Better” n “Fix Foundations”, all jazzed up with alliteration  
But the Three Line Whip only works this way, if we don’t know what your gonna say
Cos then instead of looking slick, well its just a ten cent party trick!

Chorus

[..that’s why folks…]

SOLO 

[“Take your partner by the hand, pick their pocket where they stand..”]
[..c’mon Chancellor, do keep up”] 
[..”now where did I leave that bloody expenses claim form?..”] 

Lying, cheating, that’s appealing, misdirection, double-dealing
Look sincere, it’s easy if you try  
Three lines could help your re-election, fall in love with your reflection
Leaving you and me to wonder why ..

[Good Lord, is that the time?] 

Then finally five years are done, and now its time to have some fun 
When folks pick out in faith and trust just who comes first and who goes bust
A perfect time for coming clean, with what you say and what you mean 
And draw a line under what’s past and pin your colours to the mast
Well sorry folks I’ve got news for you, the very opposite is true
We’ve got no idea what we exchange for that little cross next to your name
 And you’d think you’d say why you should stay but no you point the other way  
I know we’re crap but the other guy’s worse -  Don’t trust them with the public purse!

[..and round and round we go…] 
[a-one, two, three AND]

Chorus (with special BV’s from Minnie the Shitzui…)  


The Three Line Whip

In 1970 the worm definitely turned for me..  I was too young for the Summer of Love and Woodstock but come Christmas but I had my Spirograph... Wheel inside a wheel , the journey began, my creative powers unleashed... Finally some psychedelia for us kiddos... my plastic so fantastic....
sound clips ...intro clip from the movie Platoon and the  end clip from The Simpsons...  acoustic guitar/ keys/ shaker track recorded from my phone from Loopz  app......                                                                                                                                    the beat goes on....

Spirographic Eye                              

This story brought me back about a half a century                                                          
Kenner took me on a trip to try their kiddie LSD                                                              
Hypnotic trance, we’d turn and spin a groovy design                                                     
How old does one have to be to blow their minds?                                                        
Even Mom and Grandma they were digging this                                                           
Hogging all the paper sister got real pissed                                                                   
My plastic so fantastic                                                                                                    
Super Spirograph                                                                                                          

Back in 67 there was Lucy in the Sky
A black and white TV set was how we kids got by
Those kaleidoscopic colours now, you never want to stop
Friends peering through my window to see just what I got
Living on a rainbow, escape the world once more
Woodstock in my kitchen, San Francisco on my door
My plastic so fantastic
Super Spirograph

AAHH feel the symmetry                                                                                             
Perfect geometry                                                                                                         
I wanna kiss the sky                                                                                                    
On my Christmas vacation                                                                                 
I got me this art fascination                                                                                                   
Got me a spirographic eye                                                                                                   

You can keep my Lite-Brite I’m not playing underground
I'll be on another planet, though I will not leave this town
Salvador and Pablo they soon will know my name
Or maybe not, no never mind, life still won't be the same
Wheel inside a wheel it spins, precision never lies
The truth is on the paper it’s so pleasing to the eye
My plastic so fantastic
Super spirograph

AAHH feel the symmetry
Such perfect geometry
I wanna kiss the sky
AAHH those Mandala flowers
My psychedelic powers
Got me a spirographic eye

Spiromania, Spiromania,  you'll go full circle, inside your brainiya…..             
Spiromania, Spiromania, tune in, turn on, it entertains ya…..……..

Hildegard von Bingen Lives !  The 12th Century German Benedictine abbess and polymath meets SC's Gabe Kunz  https://soundcloud.com/user-754955870
Stars are born !!

Gabe Kunz x Hildegard-von-Bingen x Shadowman

What a great place Soundcloud is !  I can honestly say I never imagined there were so many talented and generous artists, composers and producers,  to be found in one place!  It's been my very great pleasure to meet and collaborate with some of you, already, out there in the WWW,  and I hope many more in the future! 

I've written and recorded music since I was a teenager  (... that's a long time ago!!) and about half the tracks posted here are purely my own work. I also experimented, for a while,  with A.I. supported music, which I used to help build up a Sci Fi "concept album" (for those that remember them!) titled "Stories of Stardust", released 26th Feb 2025.  

A.I music can be a divisive topic, but I've no wish to use it as a replacement for human musical talent, and going forward I'm back to  working  with real people again. That's where the magic is to be found!  

Which brings me to....
