The background for the inspiration of course is Homer and the tales on the Trojan war. But Kassandra does not tell a story – it’s a kind of a painting with an ancient scenery or maybe just a sketch: Kassandra in front of the burning city. And it could be a modern painting. We are in a distance of more than 3.000 years to the plot of the ancient tales – and still mankind has Kassandras and tears in front of burning cities.

Working on Kassandra i had in mind from the beginning that Cindy will take the main voc in this song. So i wrote the harmonies and the song structure with that in mind and i love how she sings the song. Kassandra also includes a few notes played with a Greek Baglamas and helps the song to get a special note. This string instrument is the small sister of a Bouzouki. 

lyrics:
on sungod days in the morning dew
the tears of kings are just a few
meaningless rain drops

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
and the ships are grounded

in the golden light of the afternoon
she is dancing like the queen of doom
she blinks into the sunlight

we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
we keep that fire burning
until the tide is turning
we watch the flames rise higher
into the sky
into the sky

Gone With The Flow

Kassandra

Here's my attempt in "Symphonic Rock" using a free String Plugin (DSK Overture). Guitars are all "Maybach Lester" Model, my new favorite.
I had a hard time finding a title for this track. Until I played it to my friend Marcus. He immediately said that he sees mountains, highlands etc. I finally found my title :-)

The Mountain Path

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

In 2021 there were 2,755 billionaires in the world. They are guilty of committing ECOCIDE - yet they continue to choose profit over battling climate change.

Billionaires are the leading cause of climate change. More than 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies as stated by the Carbon Majors Report.

Amazon alone emitted 61 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 - the equivalent of 16 coal-burning power plants running for a year.

Some of America’s most prominent companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Disney are backing business and lobbying groups that are fighting landmark climate legislation despite their promises to combat the climate crisis.

Time is running short - THERE IS NO PLANET B


                             Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Billionaires are destroying the planet
just so they can make a profit
pollution is killing Dear Mother Nature
melting - wiping out all our glaciers.

CHORUS
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan.

Heat waves are killing more and more people
we keep on burning more and more diesel
you don't have to be a rocket scientist
to know why fires destroy our forests.
Politicians are climate change deniers
in the meantime, our homes are on fire
the air we breathe smell like hell
thanks to the coal and oil cartels.

CHORUS

MONOLOGUE

Rising sea levels from China to California
causing devastation - Hallelujah
writings on the wall with plastic in our seas
welcome to the world of climate refugees.
Every year when it's hurricane season
the rains and floods are beyond reason
subways flooding thanks to carbon emissions
now our planet is in remission!

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

So start listening to the children
and heed the words of Mr. Bob Dylan
or it's a "Hard Reigns Gonna Fall"
your need for greed will be our downfall.

CHORUS

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

This is the 4th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic when I had extra time due to society closing down. This song was inspired by Black Lives Matter and my own experiences with the police growing up in the California East Bay Area in the 80s. 

It has been an incredible opportunity working with Wou-Wou, Stricknice, and Bitzone on this album. I feel like we have a realized sound and vision for the overall style of the album. It is exciting to know that we have many more tracks ready to be released. 

Massive thanks to RUIZZOIDMAN (E-Ruizzo) for joining us on Cruising Through. RUIZZOIDMAN has massively contributed to the positive vibes and individual creative spirit that defines our SoundCloud community. This is the second track I have had the honor of RUIZZOIDMAN joining in on. Big ups RUIZZOIDMAN!!!

Lyrics:

Hey I caught you sniffing
Get off my tail 
What you think you sniffing
Get off my tail
Hey I see you sniffing
Get off my tail
What you think your sniffing

Is it the neighborhood I’m cruising through
Is it cause I’m rolling deep with my crew
Is it cause I don’t ever trust you
Is it your suspicious of me

Hey I caught you sniffing
What you think you sniffing
Hey I see you sniffing
What you think your sniffing

Is it your suspicious of me

Still feeling shamed I reclaim that part of me you took
With looks of disdain as I refrained afraid to get booked For nothing 
I shook from your tree
In fact it probably be 
My inherited fruit first 
That now you attempt to hoard in force
In tradition with your legacy of scarcity  
But my ancestral fraternity is inherently abundant 
There’s nothing to defund from it
Word

Yea, that’s what I’m talkin’ about

This is the neighborhood I’m cruising through
This is my neighborhood and I’m cruising through
This is our neighborhood and we goin’ cruise through

Lyrics:
You, the light my life
I find myself
Being baptized
By the sunlight now
Oooo
A lovin this pure
I don’t feel like I deserve
Now I’m listenin'
Tell me what to do
My arms are always open
My home is your home
I won't forget the vision
You and me on a throne
Your happiness to me
I'm trying to describe it
My heart it i just cant hide it
Your love sets me free now

“Some Mistakes You Don't Forget

From the day I met her  
I felt the shift
From the down and out
Up with the lift

She made the plans
But I took the hit
All fell together
She couldn’t miss

What comes next 
Cold turns to hot
What comes next
Love me Love me not

What comes next 
Cold turns to hot
What comes next
Love me Love me not

When you put a dreamer
With a cold-hearted schemer
Just a true believer
Caught up in the fever

When you put a dreamer
With a cold-hearted schemer
What do you get?
Some mistake you don’t forget

Easy in easy out
No way to fail
Have no doubt
But here I am

Here I am
She’s got diamonds to sell
Here I am
I got the jail cell…

When you put a dreamer
With a cold-hearted schemer
When you put a dreamer
With a cold-hearted schemer
Some mistakes you don’t forget
Some mistakes you don’t forget
Some mistakes you don’t forget
Some mistakes you don’t forget

Just stay cool is what she said
But when the heat turned up
Guess what she said instead – Who Dat.

Hey baby, baby help bail me out 
Hey baby, baby remember what we vowed

When you put a dreamer
With a cold-hearted schemer
What do you get?
What do you get?
When you put a dreamer
With a cold-hearted schemer
What do you get?
What do you get?
Some mistake you don’t forget
Some mistake you don’t forget

The Groover

I'll finish E-Ruizzo project with a conceptual LP album: 4 songs about 'Arctica Point'. I imagined it amid rotation axis, geographic north and magnetic pole, and I located it on dry land !! Then I draw the cover art.

This opening track tells the decision of leaving this annoying present by travelling to that magical place. The following ones tell the trip and life there.

Translated lyrics will explain it with more detail:

EXPEDICIÓN (EL MUNDO SE HACE PEQUEÑO)  /  EXPEDITION (THE WORLD GETS SMALL)

Cansado de vivir en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Tired of living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.

Cierro los párpados para no verlo,  /  I close my eyelids so as not to see it,
pero hay demasiadas cosas feas detrás de ellos.  /  but there are too many ugly things behind them.

Con los ojos cerrados veo mis recuerdos,  /  With my eyes closed I see my memories,
veo el presente que vivo y no quiero verlo.  /  I see the present I live in and I don’t want to see it.

Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Partiremos hacia donde los recuerdos se olvidan,  /  We will leave for where memories are forgotten,
donde el frío congela el dolor de la vida,  /  where cold freezes the pain of life,
donde el hielo y la nieve nos protege del hombre,  /  where ice and snow protect us from mankind,
donde el cuerpo y el alma se purifican.  /  where body and soul are purified.

Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,  /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
Tenlo todo preparado para nuestra expedición.  /  Get everything ready for our expedition.
Formemos una expedición ártica,   /  Let’s form an Arctic expedition,
formemos una expedición ártica  /  let’s form an Arctic expedition

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Partiremos hacia donde el reloj no gira.  /  We’ll leave for where the clock doesn’t go round.
Partiremos hacia donde el tiempo no pasa,  /  We’ll leave for where time doesn’t go by,
al lugar donde seis meses sólo duran un día.  /  for the place where six months only last one day.

Viviendo en un mundo que se hace pequeño,  /  Living in a world which gets small,
como ratas nos movemos en nuestro agujero.  /  like rats we move in our hole.
Con los ojos cerrados no dejo de pensarlo,  /  With my eyes closed I can’t stop thinking about it,
tengo que ir a algún sitio donde olvidarlo.  /  I must go somewhere to forget it.

Ártica…  /  Arctica…
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.
entre el polo magnético y el norte geométrico  /  between the magnetic pole and the geometric north
se encuentra el Punto Ártica.  /  is located the Arctica Point.

Esperar no es lo único que haremos allí.  /  To wait is not the only thing we’ll do there.
Sabes que no es fácil sobrevivir,  /  You know it’s not easy to survive,
cuando no hay nada que te empuje a seguir.  /  when there’s nothing pushing you on.
