Name: Equal Time / Written and sung by Doug McCourtney by Gregory Michael Hurley
Duration: 5 min 59 s
Description: I have a cassette tape from 1977 which Texas born Doug McCourtney sang an original song he had written, I was able to extract his vocals and my backing vocal and provide new music arrangement with his vocals added. It was an honor to create this in memory of Doug. Gone but not forgotten. He was a true talent.

— Alchemical Catharsis: Is a term used in the context of Carl Jung’s interpretation of alchemy. According to Jung, alchemical catharsis is the first stage of transformation in the alchemical process. It is a state of disorder and disintegration that is comparable to the confession/catharsis phase of psychoanalysi. — The alchemical process of transformation has four distinct stages: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. — These stages are the framework of Jung’s characterization of the four stages of character transformation: Confession, Illumination, Education, and Transformation, culminating in the completion of the Magnum Opus and the attainment of self-realization.

Neon lights are fading slow
Whispers echo streets below
Shadows dance without a name
Silent voices in the rain 

(You know I need your love)

Feel the rythme hit your soul
Let the echos make you whole 
Darkness hide a twistal truth
In the night, the fire, the proof

You know I need your love 

City lights are fading slow
Whispers echo streets below
Shadows dance without a name
Silent voices in the game 

You know I need your love 

Neon lights are fading slow
Whispers echo streets below

You know I need your love 

Shadows dance without a name
Silent voices in the rain 
Feel the rythm hit your soul
Let the echos make you whole

Darkness hide a twistal truth
In the night,the fire, the proof 

You know I need your love 

City lights are fading slow 
Whispers echo streets below

You know I need your love

Need your love (with zzspicezz SWE 🇸🇪)

A complete re-recording in the key played live. It was one of those recordings that sounded really messy. Dropping the fader on the acoustic guitar I'd started the whole thing off with revealed a different direction highlighting case and drums. It's about females who stand up for the community against arrogance and male chauvinism and I see them in my work environment - this song is about them..

Miss Rocket Launcher

Hey hey you this Joan of Arc - Miss Rocket Launcher
Love you sending into space – those flying saucers
Your eyes they dart and sense corrosion
You’re leaning forward in silky motion
You know who is fit to govern
For those who aren’t they get concussion
Your elbows dent the seats of power
Your rocket roars it’s getting louder

Hey hey you Sister of Mercy – Miss Rocket Launcher
Love it that they’re on your mind – the poor and poorer
When you sense their exploitation
Your voice it cracks and lips are brazen
I’d hate to be your target right then
A volley gone to crack their heads
We’re hungry like Cohen’s Partisan
We’ll force ‘em to the stones and hear the doors slam 

Room dust scatters as your strident voice rises
Tables go silent as you render the kaisers

Hey hey you this Mother Theresa – Miss Rocket Launcher
Can feel the warmth inside of you – and getting warmer
When they wallow in their greed
You let one go and make em all flee
I’m feeling for the hem of your gown
The reverent touch the best to be found
I know that you will win in the end
And sharing it with you – what a send

Ms Rocket Launcher

This heavenly instrumental (open collab) made by Remnant60 was a one-take accoustic track... Was it improvisation or the whisper of an angel?, certainly it was celestial... 
  
So i wanted to greet a top-woman, with one off the best known prayers: "Ave Maria".

Lyrics

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena, Ave, Ave, Dominus, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus, Et benedictus fructus ventris (tui), Ventris tui, Jesus. Ave Maria!

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Ora, ora pro nobis;
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora mortis,
In hora mortis nostrae.
In hora, hora mortis nostrae,
In hora mortis nostrae.
Ave Maria!

Astrocaster

Original composition by thAImonk  
Language / Style: English – Emotional Indie Pop Ballad  
Genre: Indie Pop / Cinematic Emotional  

“Off Day” is a quiet, honest reflection — a song for the days when everything feels heavier than usual.  
Built around warm piano and restrained vocals, the production stays minimal and intimate, allowing the emotion to breathe without theatrics.

No big drops, no overproduction — just space, reflection, and truth.  
A reminder that it’s okay to have days where you slow down, feel deeply, and don’t pretend everything is fine.

NO MESSAGES ABOUT PROMOTIONS PLEASE!!!

Independent artist, writer, producer

In 1964, I remember watching "The Ed Sullivan Show" and seeing the Beatles perform live and they pretty much jump started my interest in music, Long hair, guitars and Beatle boots, very cool, still cool. I have always enjoyed good harmony parts and George's slide work has always inspired me. I started playing gigs in 1968,  I believe I was in the eight grade. It was only junior high school dances and sometimes house party's but at the time, it was electrifying. Over the years like so many others, I’ve played concerts, night clubs, special events, coffee houses, bars and such. Also toured the U.S. in 76. Now it's all about writing, recording, having some fun and being a part of the Sound Cloud community. Yeah man! 
Debut Album called “ Seafoam” released 2018 at Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.


Some of my fav producers would be Gary Katz, Jeff Lynne, Sir George Martin, Eddie Kramer and Mark Hudson. As far as guitar players, great hooks from Keith Richards, best tone Eric Clapton, best feel SRV! Best slide guitar George Harrison, Sonny Landreth, Derek Trucks and Ry Cooder. Most creative exploration Eric Johnson. The most original and always inspiring the GOAT Mr. Jeff Beck, he is amazing. Walter Becker had the cool factor and the Mu chords as well as wrote such interesting lyrics.
