I was a street musician for a couple of years, longer ago than I care to specify ;) As a busker, playing hide-and-seek with the Law was part of the game. And when you got busted…

Jingle Bells (Comp. J.L.Pierpont)

Dear friends. A nasty war is going on right now. This song is a prayer to the Warlord to stop the fight and withdraw his forces.
I do not dare to mention the name of this Warlord since he has a reputation to send out agents for murdering of inconvinient people all over the world. We have several Warlords in the world, and you must choose by Yourself.

Lyrics:

Letter to the Warlord

The row of people that are walking
away from the war - it is so fearsome

You may see small children
who are struggling along with their mothers
and some of them are wounded
Have You seen what I see Mister Warlord
and if You have You should certainly be ashamed


I saw old and disabled people
who fled across the rivers - on narrow footbridges

I was moved to tears of this sight
but they were helped by some wonderful people
and sometimes they were carried on their backs
Have You seen what I see Mister Warlord
and if You have You should certainly be ashamed


You should never shoot civilian people
which I know that You have done - and that Your soldiers

shot a whole family
they also shot down some old men and women
when they did’t recieve any food
Have You seen what I see Mister Warlord
and if You have You should certainly be ashamed

An approximate translation to Swedish

Kära vänner. Ett otäckt krig pågår just nu. Den här sången är en bön till krigsherren att stoppa kriget och dra tillbaka sina styrkor.
Jag vågar inte nämna namnet på denne krigsherre eftersom han har rykte om att skicka ut agenter för mord på obekväma människor över hela världen. Vi har flera krigsherrar i världen, och du måste välja själv.

Brev till krigsherren

Raden av människor som går
bort från kriget - det är så skrämmande

Du kanske ser små barn
som kämpar tillsammans med sina mammor
och några av dem är sårade
Har du sett vad jag ser Mister Warlord
och om du har så ska du verkligen skämmas


Jag såg gamla och funktionshindrade
som flydde över floderna - på smala gångbroar

Jag blev rörd till tårar av denna syn
men de fick hjälp av några underbara människor
och ibland bars de på ryggen
Har du sett vad jag ser Mister Warlord
och om du har så ska du verkligen skämmas


Man ska aldrig skjuta civila
vilket jag vet att Du har gjort - och att Dina soldater

sköt en hel familj
de sköt också ner några gubbar och kvinnor
när de inte fick någon mat
Har du sett vad jag ser Mister Warlord
och om du har så ska du verkligen skämmas

Letter to the Warlord

I play as much as desired at a resort and am refreshed! Let's spend gentle time.
I hang a surround effect in a sax, an electric piano, a base, a drum, a percussion, strings mix down.

JEEVAN BHAAVANA (Life Spirit) is composed by Ray Ryeridge 2022.
Another one of my songs inspired by voice samples from India.
Allthough i must admit i have no idea what they are singing about,judging from the sheer beauty of their voices its certainly something benign in nature.
I hope the listener is not annoyed by by repeated use of bells in so many of my songs.Im just simply enchanted by them and i cant help myself once im under the spell of beauty.

Always wanted to rework my old track called Error Code.
Saw Ian's open collab and added the beats!
This time I focused more on the added stuff and beats 
rather than IPG's flows.

Lyrics

Stars aligning I keep grinding
check the styles that I’m combining
try to get to know who I be
if you hear me then you feel me
are you ready—-now rock with me
now rock with me —-now rock with me
when do verses overlap
it’s so cool it’s called snowcapped

Give-and-take that’s tit for tat
the cool comments thanks for that
the contrast the impact
steadfast not typecast
The vibe being kickass
slow your row don’t move too fast
the real power is laid-back
I sure as hell don’t take no crap

When I flex it’s payback
dropping tracks just like that
rock with me it’s jampacked
back-and-forth then switch back
roll on out you scaredy-cat
or hang tight and interact
but I don’t do no contracts

We are happy that we can work on our next Album, scheduled for 2023. This song will be on the album. A song to take out your guitars and ukuleles and sit down by the fire to sing along (about all the love that went wrong, or so). Let us know what you think! As always so much love, thanks and appreciation to the support from all of you on soundcloud!

Give your heart to the sailor
He'll discard it at sea
If you encounter the devil
send him greetings from me

I once fell for his daughter 
and she was no match for me
Don't you see

Let's sit down by the fire
Raise your glass to the sea
And if you were a liar
you'd say you love me

Put your faith in the helmsman
Don't be waiting for me
I'll be fine at the harbour
Send her greetings from me

We could never be more than
Two ships passing at sea
Come with me

Let's sit down by the fire
Raise your glass to the sea
And if you were a liar
you'd say you would love me

Let's sit down by the fire
Raise your glass to the sea
And if you were a liar
you'd be exactly like me

Sit Down By The Fire

Lyrics:
This little town seems sadder
Since we lost Old Jack
Knew this day was coming
Holding the tears back
-----------------------------
Old Jack was kind and simple
No better friend to find
Knew he cared sincerely
How we loved him dearly
-----------------------------
He treated all the same
Knew everyone's name
Listened with great interest
Always glad you came
-----------------------------
We sing this song for Old Jack
Best man we ever knew
Who taught us pearls of wisdom
And wise things to pursue

Old Jack (with Vocals)
