You gusy have been away! Great to have you back with a rocking tune

Yeah man such great sound and energy, cool stuff really!

These are most of the SoundCloud tracks I reposted in 2023. There's no quick way to create this, I had to scroll through all my "likes" and find the ones I reposted as well. Probably missed some, sorry! I limited artists that I reposted more than once to one track on the playlist. If you hear a track on this list you really like, check out that artist, they probably have more stuff you'll enjoy!

Such GREAT STUFF! We truly are providing an alternative here on SoundCloud, us unsigned, "unknown" artists. Thanks for sharing your music and keep it up in 2024!

I used polyrhythm with strings in triple meter and drums in simple meter for the verses. Just like that song  in 1975. More creative uses of this to follow. Also used a quartile chord found in ‘So What’. There’s a walking bass line and it is also the first to feature piano voicings that make for easier bass lines. 

Co production (cool sound effect in intro),drum editing, drum fills and instrumental mix from Blaz @a7-recording-studio

Lyrically, it is stream of consciousness with a few lines edited to rhyme. It was supposed to be about finding inner peace but I only ended up with one line about that. I am not tortured but someone else might be. Hope is a good thing. Not based on the novel with the same name as I have never read it.



I would like to thank my family (especially my parents and sister), Jinn (weren’t for her listening to the songs not sure I would have returned after a 1 year hiatus), my friends, the parents and students that I have taught (“I have been touched by your kids. And I'm pretty sure that I've touched them”), all of my teachers and the teachers for that compliment at Hulu (it’s an honor), and my listeners.

2 Quotes.
Past year has been busy with no days off. I’ve started jogging for 30 minutes and last year I finished Macroeconomics on Khan’s Academy. This year I’m onto Unit 8 of his Finance & Capital Course. I’ve gone on 2 week long business trips to Thailand and Malaysia. Since I am in this field I decided to see if I could pick up my mental maths. 

It reminds me of a quote that an Indian boy replied when asked, “what are your weaknesses?” at a job interview.

He replied, “I don’t have any weaknesses. My greatest asset is turning my weaknesses into my strengths.” 

For the longest time I thought it was a good reply but didn’t think it was possible. 
So I did some research online and all of the quant traders were using either rankyourbrain or zetamac. 
2 minute long sessions. Since rankyourbrain shut down I will only list my scores for zetamac. I began around the 40’s which was actually a ‘decent’ score by international standards.  I’d memorize the ones that I took a bit longer on and go over them daily.Then after about 20 minutes each day on both websites (2 sets of default zetamac questions) I started seeing improvement after 3 weeks. And now, I have a high score of 79 which puts me 12 points off from a rubiks cube whiz who posted his score on Youtube. If you had told me that I would be only 12 points off at the start I would have called it a miracle. Going from below average at something to above average. But, ‘miracles’ do happen like those Mexican teachers who rescue a whole class of failing students. And, there are guys who started off scoring 20’s on zetamac going on to score 90’s. And, a woman who is now a quant trader who bought elementary math books to work on. 

2 schools of thought.
“Take it easy man.”
“Sometimes the hardest thing to do and the right thing to do are often the same thing.” - Alfred

I think people don’t really pick one and live by it and its more of a mixture. So, I would encourage you to find something you think you’re bad at and work on it.
I know.
“Numbers isn’t my thing.”
I used to feel the same way. In the beginning you’ll experience frustration and disappointment. But confidence isn’t the lack of those thoughts but having those thoughts and still working through it. Keep at it and you will experience this feeling of joy that is usually not associated with maths. For only 4 mins a day. Free. A chance to see what your mind has tricked you into thinking you suck at. 

And when you do improve just remember that it is only mental maths, a very small portion of what maths actually is.



The other quote I really liked was:
“ I don't even care if they respect me. I know who I am. I've got enough respect for myself.”

An early Merry Christmas and happy new year to you all!

Voyage

The snow is fallin' on Christmas Eve
And I'm walkin down familiar streets
Warm food waits for me at home
Right now I'm happy just to feel the snow

But when we get back you'll be there
Smilin' at me from atop the stairs
The lights are glowing all around the place
A loving feeling resting on your face
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

Now I know where our home exists
It took awhile but I can admit
Not a place but it's all our own
Anywhere I'm with you, we're not alone

Presents and family are miles away
Along with memories of Christmas days
But we're together and that's all I need
warm on a homemade Christmas Eve...
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

All the promises that we have kept
replace the shiny new store bought gifts
The days ahead that we now see
Can't be wrapped under a Christmas tree...

The winter deepens in the frosty days
And glowing fires still keep me amazed
Inside our home's everything we need
When you wake up next to me...
On our homemade Christmas
On our homemade Christmas

- V3.04

Your Homemade Christmas

I sway, like a leaf, in, the autumn breeze
I fall, verdant green, feeling so serene

Crimson, golden red, remember those words she said
And I, will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine
Yes, I will have tonight, to hold your arms in mine

80s Electronic Pop Theme Tunes - Track 5

Written during 2024's 50/90 - a broken love song
Lyrics - NSFW:
When It Was For You
Along came the day that I dreaded
Life's fabric, completely unthreaded
When you said goodbye, with no tears in your eyes,
and nothing about it, regretted

For you. When it was for you.
All for you. When it was for you.
All for you. When it was for you.

The circus of life, we were sharing
On the high wire, we were so daring.
Along came a frown, wearing a clown,
Next thing, my heart, it was tearing.

For you. All for you.
When it was for you..All for you.
When it was for you.
Ahhh....Fuck you, ahhhh.... fuck you!
Fuck You.

When It Was For You

Track # 13 from my first LP called " Songs for Peace, Love and Understanding". The theme of saying goodbye is something we all experiencing as humans throughout our life as the years pass. Saying goodbye to love family members as they pass away, moving away and saying goodbye to friends and what i was thinking about at the time was saying goodbye to my my work life and friends after I retired my from long term career working in mental health as an Occupational Therapist.

Lyrics:
Saying goodbye, it's always bittersweet
Walking away from the ones we used to meet
Promises made, now drifting in the wind
Memories fading, like chapters coming to an end

In the circle of life, we come, and we go
Some stay for a while, others we'll never know
But the moments we shared; they'll never fade away
In the tapestry of time, they'll forever stay

So goodbye friends, we walked this road together
But now it's time to part ways, we'll cherish this forever
Our laughter echoes in the night
As we say our last goodbyes

Through the highs and lows, we stood side by side
Now it's time to spread our wings and let the past abide
But wherever we roam, whatever we do
The bond we shared will always shine true

Last Goodbyes (Remix)

If I Was A Mockingbird draft

Holding On draft

I Can Read The Signs v2 w bridge

Track # 14 from my first LP called "Songs for Peace, Love and Understanding." In the end it is always about the song which is the main theme which runs throughout the verses. Being taken to a place in the song by the writer and storyteller and maybe finding something that you may also relate to or in the least sing along with.
Lyrics:

In the quiet of the night
I find solace in the song
The rhythm and the rhyme
Help me carry on

Through heartache and through pain
The music heals the soul
Every note and every chord
Helps us feel whole

It's always about the song
The way it moves us along
Echoes and melody
In our hearts, forever strong

Take me to that place
Where the music flows like a stream
Let me lose myself
In the beauty of the dream

So let the music play
And let the lyrics soar
For in the end, it's always about the song
That keeps us coming back for more

It's Always About the Song (Remix)

Track # 15 the final track on my first LP called " Songs. For Peace Love and Understanding" concludes and wraps up what I have been trying to communicate throughout the album. Peace. love and understanding as humans is what life is all is all about to me anyway. How much of this we experience of this throughout our life is very individual and unique to us all.

"That idea of peace and love toward humanity shouldn't be nationalistic or denominational. It should be a chief concern for all mankind."
Mos Def

Lyrics:

In a world of chaos and strife
I search for a glimpse of light
Through the darkness and the night
I seek peace with all my might

In a sea of voices loud
I crave a gentle, peaceful sound
A melody to heal and astound
To unite, to reconcile

Inner peace in the heart
Love as the guiding art
Understanding in every part
Let's come together, never apart

Let kindness be our anthem
Let empathy be our song
In unity, we find freedom
In compassion, we belong

So, let's raise our voices high
And let love be our battle cry
For in harmony, we'll never die
Peace, love, and understanding

Peace, Love and Understanding (Remix)

Saw AJR live a couple weeks ago here in St Louis and decided I REALLY wanted to try remixing/flipping one of their tracks, so here we are! Also, mixing this was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I think we finally got 'em, but it took me WAY too long to figure out 🥴😭

AJR- Bang (Blairotonin Flip)

La Hollywood Freeway Ghosts kreas muzikon inspiritan de la alternativa, indie kaj progresema roko de la 80-aj kaj 90-aj jaroj, kun postglama stilo, nuancoj de psikedelio, iom da Ameriko, kaj moderna indie. Ni pensas, ke ĝi estas sono tiel eklektika kiel kapteca, ĉar ni transiras de serenaj, glitantaj melodioj al energiaj, gitardrivitaj himnoj. La Ghosts estis fondita en 2017 fare de Freeway Bill, kiu origine venis el Los-Anĝeleso kaj nun estas usona ekzilito loĝanta en Luksemburgio.

NOTICE: I DO NOT PAY FOR PROMOTION. EVER.

SPOTLIGHT: Sexagenarian Volume VI is now complete after the addition of its twelfth tarck, "where once...". Check out the other five (5!) volumes of Sexagenarian as well. 

BIO: I started writing songs in high school (1969-1973!) and I've pretty much never stopped. These are mostly solo recording projects (my brother, Fog City Fogey, contributes sometimes).  I don't do much self-promotion, not a fan of Repost Exchange etc, so all of you who find this page and like a song or two - you are truly appreciated!
