#COMMUNITY : JULY 2023

Daydream

“This song is inspired by late 90’s US Rock/00’s Pop-Punk and 00’s British Indie Pop. It is about anxiety. Musically it is an attempt to showcase the storm and calm that anxiety can create in daily life. Lyrically it is about wanting to reset emotions and be free from worry and self doubt - to be yourself; a self without anxiety. This is a kind of conceptual art record.” 

A song about anxiety - “Be My Somebody”

Let me take, take what I need to take
Let me think what I need to think, meditate it away
Sometimes the world around me feels like I live in hell 
I treat everyone better than I treat myself

I’m chasing freedom while you are chasing me 

Stay away from me anxiety
Get away from me anxiety
Get outta my head
Get outta my body
Take me back to the start so I can be my somebody
Stay away from me anxiety

Getting caught up inside my head
Can you figure it out? 
Taking the torch away from the world
Goodbye reality
Don’t forget that this will pass 
Be your best friend 
Feelings come and feelings go

BE MY SOMEBODY

Thank You for 1000 plays ❤️

In the late 1980s, I had the opportunity to watch in the cinema Godfrey Reggio's documentary "Koyaaniquatsi" with music by Philip Glass and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, and I became a fan of the soundtrack from this film.

A few months ago I was watching the third season of "Stranger Things" and suddenly, in the third episode, in the last scene, I heard familiar sounds. Without checking, I could tell I could hear Phillip's music. And so it was. My fascination was revived and I felt the urge to create something similar to his style.
Unfortunately, my creativity and time has its limits and I haven't been able to make a full song... yet ;) But I'm sharing with you an idea, or rather an introduction to this piece. I hope you like it at least a little :)

Lyrics:

(The Mysterious D.)
Rain falls from the light
The vows of the fox burn bright

(Cosmic K.)
Sun shines as the rain falls
Shadowy forest filled with lights
Silently processing forward
In the trees, flashing bright

Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(The Mysterious D.)
In the land of the rising sun, where legends,
myths and magic is spun
There's a tail of a fox bride
who comes with the rain by her side

(Cosmic K.)
Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(Mysterious D.)
In the land of eternal forest
where the love lies deep in root
If the fox groom sees you looking,
You might meet his overbearing tooth

Lyrics of the song "Don't Bring Me Down"
I was giving and living for you every day
thought no one else could make me feel this way

How could it be? I was so blind.
you can't even look me in my eyes?

you said, you'd always love me
you said, i'd never be lonely
now it's me, that i'm gonna be pleasing
so now I am leaving

don't bring me down down
don't need you around 'round
gonna wear my crown now
I don't need your love anymore!
it's not the same, same
don't you feel shame, shame?
I'm not a game, game
ya no necesito tu amor!


how little your love was showing
all alone in the early morning
started thinking "is this my warning?"
what had I done to make this alright?

didn't know what I should have been knowing.
someone else kept your love from growing.
I'm left alone almost every night.

you said, you'd always love me
you said, i'd never be lonely
now it's me, that i'm gonna be pleasing
so now I am leaving

don't bring me down down
don't need you around 'round
gonna wear my crown now
I don't need your love anymore!
it's not the samen same
don't you feel shame, shame?
I'm not a game, game
ya no necesito tu amor!

now you want my loving and so much more
now you say you want what we had before

now you're driven
want to listen
want my giving
want forgiving
say im heaven
your obsession
my decision
i'm not wishing
for your loving
i'm not crying
yes im flying

as i'm walking out the door

don't bring me down down
don't need you around 'round
i'm wearing my crown now
I don't need your love anymore!
it's not the same, same
don't you feel shame, shame?
I'm not a game, game
ya no necesito tu amor!

Don't Bring Me Down - Mastering True Music Feat. SK (Stefanie Kisamore)

The Earth shakes
The sky quakes
There’s anger all around
The fear is growing
glowing flowing
Bright red terror on the ground
And All is destroyed

From the mountain
It’s coming down the mountain

no place left to call our home
Just melted rubble of all we’ve known
The heat closing in on everyone
Nothing left to do but run

The night is filled with panicked screams 
Bodies engulfed in fire streams
What once was peaceful and serene
Is now destructive and obscene
Terror like we’ve never known
As the Liquid death takes our homes
And takes our hopes and takes our tears
And let’s them live as our deepest fears

But some of us will stay here
In the only place we’ve ever known
We were born here - we’ll die here

El Camino

𝔸𝕞𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕠 is a song about asking for help, trying to belong in a strange and absurd existence, understanding our needs and other people's, and struggling to be fair, just, and true to oneself.

The air is so still
The night is so chill
He stands on a hill
His voice gives a trill

He could fly away tonight
He could fly away tonight

Black Pony
Run So Fast
Run So Fast
Never look back
Never look back
Never leave tracks
Never leave tracks

He makes his own trail
Through rock and through hill
A new place to run
His mane in the sun

He could fly away tonight
He could fly away tonight

Heart once stone
Now reborn

Hiphop meets live instruments, a collaboration with my man James Ivory. Thanks for the bass and the guitar line homie! 

Check this man out: https://soundcloud.com/99_6_6_6_99

Show us some love if you feel the Groove!

Studio Groove (James Ivory X Stellar Sound Instrumental)

To quote Josh
"This is a song that began as a bass line I came up with on my four string fretless over a looper. I shared it with Ken (K2 and the Three [and Four], Stephen (Tex Mex Shaman), and Tez (Llanpsych) through BandLan, which we're all on. Ken came up with some perfect drums, as always, to prop up the whole thing. Tez added some killer guitar solos, which you can hear more towards the end, with the ripping tone. Stephen then came in and added the talk box guitar and wah guitar that you hear playing the hook more towards the beginning. It's my first song ever featuring a talk box, and I'm amazed with the part he came up with. It's a major line against my minor bass line. I love how it sounds! Stephen also was kind enough to mix the beast for us, which turned out to be a herculean task. But he was up to it, and a fine job he did, too. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with these guys. We all hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it"

High Noon - with Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary), K2 and the Three, and TexMex Shaman

I have once again been given the great honor of participating in an absolutely lovely acoustic exploration of love from my dear friend David. He gave me free rein to create something around his superb guitar. Among other things, I found a fitting lyric and vocals with Madame Snowflake that I put into the song.

We hope that the results will be a pleasant journey for all of you with us. ;)

Don’t Be Afraid
for Lauren

Standing close to your bedside
Hoping, watching your breath rise

Stay here hold to your
Faith dear
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid

Your room flooded with white light
You’ve one foot in and one taking flight

Stay here hold to your
Faith dear
Don’t be afraid dear
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid

Strong yet fragile
Like an angel
Waiting gracefully
For her wings
Now, ah

Holding your hand, praying to understand
A higher plan

Stay here hold to your
Faith dear
Don’t be afraid dear
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid

Love From Godin, Don't Be Afraid - David D, Snowflake & Seagull

This is a perfect song for collaboration that JJ came up with on the keys and bass, based on a really cool drum track that Ken (K2 and the Three, K2 and the Four) gave him. They are both wildly creative, and left the perfect amount of collaborator space, as they do on every song. Then I got a hold of it and added the main guitar, lap slide, mandolin, and some synth. Then we sent it over to Stephen (TexMex Shaman), who added that really cool guitar solo at the end of the first part, and some more guitar to the end. Also, and very importantly, Stephen produced and mixed this for us. Talk about monumental task! It was like we gave him a basket of cats, and he made a cohesive thought out of it. I'm amazed. I can't overstate how much I enjoy making music with these three sorcerers. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did making this.

Junebug (Eclectic Collective)

NightFlights

I'm fed up 
of those who sell morning and night
of despair 

I don't take it well
When they try to make me believe 
that red is black

it hurts me bad
to see that we forget to do what s good 
when everything goes wrong

I'm fed up 
of those who always strike
where it hurts me

and I'm enraged
when the vultures of the weakest
feast

I feel bad 
when they want to erect to the most vulgar 
a pedestal

I still want 
to believe in another life 
in other joys  
I dream that we can still build 
a new world, 
that we can finally change history

L'histoire (translated)

With great sadness I announce the passing of my good friend, bandmate, and Soundcloud artist, mandolinist Patrick Howell.  Some of you knew of his valiant battle with cancer and supported him in prayer and the warmest of well wishes.  He succumbed to the disease July 17, 2023 surrounded by a loving family who helped usher him into the presence of the Lord Jesus.  Besides being a beloved friend and brother in Christ, he was also a muse for me, challenging me to take his little "ditties" and make them into songs.  I will be featuring those songs in the coming weeks in my "Spotlight", but for now I pay tribute to his life and talent with how he beautifully decorated this special song two years ago with his playing.  Rest in the sweetest peace my friend until the Lord awakens you.

When You Awake (with Pat Howell, Mandolin)

This is my first time releasing something that I produced solely on my own. I still consider this a bit of a demo, but I wanted to get the message out. There is always room for growth.

Stay for the parts of you that make you uncomfortable. Learn from them. Heal. Grow. Love. Song inspired by the article below.
