very interesting version and vocal..great

This grabbed me from the start with the guitar and bass movement, but what always amazes me is how you wrap the personal biographical information into a bilingual historical journey...loved the whistling! Quite a CV on Mr Gaston judging by your tune. Impressed, Imre!

good fun track , feels like a road  movie just about to start on listen

Love ce franglish 😃 kind of JJ Couture

Awesome psychedelic blues intro jam! 🎸

JOE GASTON IS A HANDSOME PHYSICIAN, 
A DEDICATED READER AND A TALENTED ATHLETE
THE MAN HAS BEEN AROUND FROM AFRICA TO OMAN
TO NORTH CAROLINA WITH A FRISBEE IN HIS HAND
 
MAIS JOE GASTON QU’A-TU FAIS DE TON FRANÇAIS
COULD IT BE COULD IT BE THAT YOU’VE LOST IT ON YOUR WAY
EST-CE À CAUSE DE TON MENU QUI NE VARIAIT JAMAIS
TOUS LES SOIRS PÂTES AU POULET ARROSÉES D’UN GRAND VERRE DE LAIT

CLÉ DE FA CLÉ DE SOL MERLE NOIR ROSSIGNOL
A NIGHTINGALE YOU ARE SO I HEARD FROM A BIRD
BEST WHISTLER IN THE WORLD THAT’S WHAT TOLD ME BEN
WHO CAN  BE CONSIDERED AS SOMEWHAT OF A BEST FRIEND 

HEY JOE REMEMBER CHICAGO
THAT’S WHERE IT ALL BEGAN A LONG LONG TIME AGO
THEN IT WAS THE BIG APPLE NO MORE FRISBEE IN HAND
COS YOU FOUND BETTER TO HOLD I MEAN THE HAND OF LAUREN

WHAT A JAW JOE THAT’S WHY I CALL YOU GASTON
MÂCHOIRE D’ACIER LE PLUS CARRÉ DES MENTONS
MAIS BON COMME LE BON PAIN 33 PIGES AU COMPTEUR
SURPRISING AS A DANCER TOUJOURS LA MAIN SUR LE CŒUR 

CLÉ DE FA CLÉ DE SOL MERLE NOIR ROSSIGNOL
A NIGHTINGALE YOU ARE SO I HEARD FROM A BIRD
BEST WHISTLER IN THE WORLD THAT’S WHAT TOLD ME BEN
WHO CAN  BE CONSIDERED AS SOMEWHAT OF A BEST FRIEND

COOL AS A POSSUM BUT LIFE IN A PARTY
BRILLIANT ENTREPRENEUR TOP CRAZY INVENTOR
LIKE TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE’S KNEES AND SPECIAL TANNING SLEEVES
JE NE SAIS SI CES MOTS, CES PAROLES SERONT COMPRISES
MAIS

JOE GASTON (Lyrics) Song for Joe

Moon dogs, also known as paraselenae, are bright spots on either side of the moon, symbolizing for some, spiritual growth, enhanced intuition, and self-reflection. The phenomenon is a reminder to embrace change and personal transformation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
once i was older
than i am today
I am floating     (outward bound)
half away                  


you want some answers
so do i
as we amble   (down this road) 
mystified

it’s just a moondog in the sky

time is a circle
each life a dream
let’s walk barefoot  (while we can)    
in the stream

on top of all the passion we bring
tomorrow doesn’t mean a thing

it’s just a twinkle in your eye

we’ll ride together
push it all the way
write the story   (write it down)  
burn the page

can’t protect now
going down

can’t deflect now
but don’t slow down

can’t take it with you
so just let go

kick it goodbye

Not Only Grey

Blomster

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
La la la la la 
La la la la la
You ran home with your birds
La la la la la

Summertime, summertime
There is a question in the wind
Bright, white light
pressing your head to the ground
It´s hard to face such clarity
and not fall apart

You are a shapeshifter now
You are a shapeshifter now
Shapechanger now
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Summertime, summertime
There is a question in the wind
Bright, white light
pressing your head to the ground
It´s hard to face such clarity
and not fall

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
You ran home with your birds
And that wasn´t cute

Skvattram in the wood
What made that awful sound?
You ran home with your birds
And that wasn´t cute

La la la la la 
La la la la la
You ran home with your birds
And that wasn´t cute
And that wasn´t cute
And that wasn´t cute

Blomster

Shining like a star

For my father who left us a few days ago...he was a bass player and gave me the love of music and nature...I miss you so much and wish you a few more great performances in heaven... I miss you and your cheerful nature

Nouvelle composition au piano intitulée Forêt d'Automne.

Forêt d'Automne

Forêt D'Automne

CAST OF CHARACTERS:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – Initial composition/seed idea, foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar
Mistermark – @user-432503709 – Mark – vocals, lyrics, high organ, toy piano, percussion, sound effects, production, editing, mix
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric rhythm guitar
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- low organ, piano, synth flute, sound effects
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began as a haunting guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also did an additional accoustic accompaniment and that crunchy distorted guitar once some of us started adding parts. Ken was first up, adding his reggae-tinged drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. Mark then came up with some dark lyrics and added his unique, Tom Waitsian vocals. He also added the high organ during the banjo solo, followed by a toy piano which you can faintly hear right after the solo. Also for the solo he created a clanky percussion arrangement, blending in elements from Ken's percussion sound too. Stephen followed shortly after with the atmospheric reggae-style guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear around the middle. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his trademark organ sound and paired up a piano and flute track to seal the deal with some melodic ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool creaking door & rain storm effects that open and close the song, and in other spots. Mark filled the main production duties on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team. Both Ken & Stephen provided a choice of mastering options to choose from… a nice gesture to put a bow on this one. 
This song is an homage of sorts to the great Tom Waits - we're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
ORIGINAL LYRICS BY MISTERMARK:

I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
a little like a shady deposit
and it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
like a raincoat filled with bones
see I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
and I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
and the hand bone’s connected to me
and every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
and it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
like a raincoat filled with bones
see I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
and I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

This song began its life as a hauntingly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the banjo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.
  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.
  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Another previously unheard track from 4 years ago. Still in the doldrums here. Sorry for not listening to all your fine music folks.

Two sides of the same coin. A song of two halves,night and day.

I love the end of the day
When the blue sky darkens
And the light fades away
The sky recedes 
And the colour grows thin
The world opens up
To let the universe in

Sharp edges soften
Become almost blurred
Darkness is birthing
A whole different world
