A Track I did a while back for a friends western scenery inspired video. Unfortunately I went over my usual limit on the number of little flubs...but it is what it is. Sending this one out to my old bandmate & friend Jack O (Vibratos, Jack and the Rippers, Coachmen) who went West to make a living & raise a family after band days of old...

Gone West

that's a really important question that's gonna change the world! l,l,l

lyrics by IPG1

Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake

—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late
to create —-understand and fascinate
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate
is gravy to me—— so I’mer keep it straight
everything else ——is a piece of cake

Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny
it might take some time ——for all to see
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti
infusing the track with—- positive energy
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus

Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway
please try to meet me halfway

DO YOU REALLY KNOW 
HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO 
LOVE YOU?
 A BROTHER IN LAW CAN BE A BROTHER TOO YOU KNOW 
YOUR STICKING CATS FACES ALL OVER THE PLACES
 IS ONE REASON MORE TO LOVE YOU 
BUT
 LET’S GET SERIOUS BOY DELIRIOUS  YOU ARE LIKE
 DRESSED UP AS A LORD CHANGING THE OIL OF YOUR CAR 
OR SPEEDING DOWN A SLOPE THAT EVEN NOT THE POPE 
ON HIS HOLY SKIS  WOULD COPE WITH 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU?

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH US WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU 
WHY DO WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH?

DO WE REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU? 
WANNA HAVE A BEER? KANSAS CITY HERE I COME 
ME NO ENGINEER  BUT WE STILL COULD CHEER AND STRUM 
I’D LIKE TO SHAKE THE PAW OF VIRGINIA WOOF 
AND VISIT YOU FOR A GOOF 
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH THEY REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH I REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU 
DO YOU REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE REALLY DO LOVE YOU?

DO YOU REALLY KNOW? (Lyrics) song for David

The Mysterious Decibel - Grand Hump of Niagara

Lyrics, instrumental, Vocals, Sounds, mix, song structure - The Mysterious Decibel

Lyrics:

Towering over the city of Niagara
Billowing up to the sky
Our growing hill of Microsoft
But this one hails the flies
Ground control to major stench
Our guts are wrenched in the city of plea
Feed the tumor
Watch it grow
So high, any god above will know

Look in the horizon
I can't see the sun
Unholy hump of one
A million tons

The falls spits down with the raging waters
The hump is rising and so are its daughters
Dump truck convoy never sleeps
While the noses gently weep
The scent of the demon's morning queef
Sulfur and eggs with a hint of grief 
So come on down if you feel alive to the base of the grand hump of Niagara!

SONG NOTES and LYRICS:
I wrote this song about an imaginary character born and raised on the Mississippi, growing up to be a music man. It's not based on anybody real, but is a kind of tribute to all (blues) musicians down the ages, who have developed their own style of playing and have become admired by future generations. I was inspired to learn to play the guitar listening to great guitar players and fascinated by their ability to simultaneously play a bass line, percussive rhythm and melody, while singing at the same time. (For guitar players interested in how this song is played, it is capo'd at the first fret and played in Bflat, using the thumb on the left hand to play bass notes while stretching fingers 3 and 4 for hammer-ons.). Hope you like it!

They named him Mississippi
That’s where he was born and found
Raised by the crew of a steamboat
Never did like his feet on solid ground 
Could have grown up to be a gambler
But he’d seen where the money goes
So he just played the blues
And watched the river flow

So Mississippi he became a music man
His hat tilted to one side
He wore a watch chain in his waistcoat 
And a twinkle in his eye 
Those gamblers liked to buy him a whiskey
So he’d smile on the dice they’d throw
As he’d play them the blues
And watch the river flow

Now they say down in Mississippi
When you’re riding on the river at night
That if you raise up your glass of whisky
There’s a chance that you just might
Hear the sound across the water 
From the deck of that old paddle boat 
As he plays the blues 
And watches the river flow

Mississippi

Purple Microdot The Allure Pt. 2

Written from the purple microdots (acid) point of view, as
the human becomes the drug, the drug becomes the human. Some of the lyrics are different. Enjoy!!!

This that acid drop—- mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not ——if the time stops——
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle—speeding-roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye—-sandals ——dreadlocks
Woodstock —type ——Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain ——become a hotspot
Am I human——Am I God——
preparing for ——-the aftershock
the aftershock——-the aftershock
Hell yeah———— and why not ——it’s still that purple
microdot—-microdot—— microdot

Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma —-come on let’s go
The moves —-without Ego
The smile —-or the combo
It’s good times —-and Convo
Cant avoid it—-so you want some more
The allure —-of an outlaw (X3)

Guitar riffs and jazz lines ——like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines——I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine——Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align——You know I’mer get mine
time stop ———-brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot

God status—-here we go at last—-
from the bottom to the top —break that hour glass——
So why you think your teeth are shattering ———so damn fast
It a personal experience—-a one man class
No sleep for those who know ———-the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show—Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish—-and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made —-for love—-that—— purple microdot
This that aftershock—-that aftershock—that aftershock
From that acid drop ———Mind corrupt —Mind corrupt
time stop ———-brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top ——a mental——hotspot
Mesmerizing sound —-kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot —-From that purple microdot

——Chorus ——

Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics—-rhythm tunes—-desire
Made to Pierce your soul ——like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of ——forget me Nut
Left-brain—right track—it’s called —-purple microdot
And you know I’ll be here—— from —-time to time
Fucking with your mind ————at the drop of a dime
Underground—-under the tongue—-paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit ya
