“Fool’s Gold”

Look into our future
Truth be told
Our love still shines
Though the tarnish grows
I’m seeking shimmers on the ocean’s floor 
Oh, what the hell you only live once you know

Not coming up for air today
(You’re) still digging in 
Yeah… I think I’ll stay below

Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding on to hope
To hope for your treasure down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s nothing but Fool’s Gold

Your love I can’t hold

Sending out a Save Our Soul
Though I know our chances are low
Deeper and deeper and deeper we go
But all we have to blame is -- this hope

Sinking deeper into the cold
What do I have to give up? My soul
 
Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding out for hope
To hope for your danger down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s nothing but Fool’s Gold

It’s a fool’s goal
I know…  I know…  I know… 
Your love I can’t hold
   
<Breakdown>

Fool’s Gold
But I’m still holding out for hope
To hope for your treasure down below
Below but I know…  I know…  I know… 
It’s fool’s gold
 
Your love I can’t hold
Your love I can’t hold
Your love I can’t hold

Fool's Gold

Country acoustic meets hip hop meets techno bass meets a chill 65 bpm in an atmospheric instrumental soundtrack for a foggy ferry crossing.

When fog rolls in, people are happy that the old ferry captain knows the river crossing very well. Thick fog doesn’t stop arrivals and departures on the Fog Bottom Ferry, a fictional name for a ferry that, as a passenger, I also knew very well.

The image of the ferry deck in my cover art doesn’t look like the ferry I took. My Fog Bottom Ferry served a small river town that carried about a dozen cars. To me, its engine sounded similar to a tugboat motor, and was the inspiration for the hip hop beats.

Hope you enjoy a little atmospheric instrumental countryhop 🤠

LYRIC

On the morning of July fifth
Year of seventeen seventy six
Did our fathers - our forefathers -
Wonder what first to fix

We the people it was stated
In declaring ourselves free
If you owned land as a white man
You were counted in that ‘we’

A new nation on that morn 
Saw its first sunrise 
A union by agreement 
Forged in trial and compromise

Each July 4, we grill hotdogs
And shoot fireworks across the skies
The next day we’re left with ashes
And a dream to realize
From July 5 1776

July 5, 1776

I thought it would be nice to do a new recording of My Favorite Female that I did with the band Tibet in reverse in 2011. That version is a little further down if you scroll.
Here and now I have uploaded the new version. Instead of calling it a different version than the original, it has been given the British English spelling: My Favourite Female.

On the single, distributed to Apple Music, I also have an instrumental version of My Favourite Female.

My Favourite Female

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will perform with my girl for a viewer beyond worlds

Have you seen her favourite brain
It´s organic with an image of a world
being drawn in every single moment
Hello world, she is thinking of you

She really doesn´t have to work on Monday
but she´s working in a digital network
She´s a real nowhere girl living in a nowhere world
making nowhere plans for nobody

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will face reality with my favourite girl

Have you seen my favourite waste of time
Let her go, let her go
I took a trip to the edge of this world
and I was thinking of you

Honey, would I lie to you, this is not a place
for a nowhere girl to be
The good guys are hiding in the shadows
Oh baby, it´s a wild, wild, wild, wild world

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will face reality with my favourite girl

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will perform with my girl for a viewer beyond worlds

Getting to know someone on a deep level is a fascinating process that allows you to discover not only superficial qualities but also the person's true self. It takes time, patience, and empathy, but it's extremely rewarding. Deep relationships are a journey that can lead to incredible discoveries and mutual understanding.  💕  Poznawanie kogoś na głębokim poziomie to fascynujący proces, który pozwala odkrywać nie tylko powierzchowne cechy, ale także prawdziwe "ja" danej osoby. To wymaga czasu, cierpliwości i empatii, ale jest niezwykle satysfakcjonujące. Głębokie relacje to podróż, która może prowadzić do niesamowitych odkryć i wzajemnego zrozumienia.  💕  Conocer a alguien a un nivel profundo es un proceso fascinante que te permite descubrir no solo las cualidades superficiales, sino también el verdadero yo de la persona.

Lyrics:
Sara, I never knew
How this world was killing you
I was so fucking oblivious
You did what you had to do
You could worry about the labels
For labels, they can't be peeled off you
Oh put me
Into the diving bell
Sink me down below
Into your private hell
I'll scrap the bottom of the floor
For the secrets you just can't tell
Put me in your diving bell

There's fire in the fuselage
A bizarre entertainment?
I just can't watch
Put me
Into your diving bell
Sink me down below
Into your private hell
I'm a weak man
I just had to come up for fresh air
Put me in your diving bell

I never asked
How you wore your mask
With your ritual tasks 
Seen through your jewelers glass
Oh drop me down
Into the diving bell
Sink me down below
Into your private hell
Diving bell

Sara , I never knew...

The Title Track from The Forthcoming album "THE GREAT AWAKENING"
Lyrics:-
Wake up Children
We are in the 
Great awakening
All the things we
Know now is the
Great awakening

Can you believe the time has come
Remembering who we really are
Releasing the chains that made us numb
Forgetting the light from distant stars

While we gather 
In strength 
And force
The frequencies inbound
While we wait 
For the rest
Of our brothers and sisters
To come round

Wake up Children
We are in the 
Great awakening
All the things we
Know now is the
Great awakening

Wake up Children
We are in the 
Great awakening
All the things we
Know now is the
Great awakening

We'll wait for all the rest
We'll hold on
For all of you
We can make it through the storm together
Hold on
It's the great awakening

GOO DAY NEW WORLD
SUNSHINE TURNING GREEN

Lyrics : 
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

You got jump-scared so bad in your waking hours
You thought you were seeing stars
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you

Gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it, gonna see it
Gonna hear it, hear it
Only when you’re not listening

Gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it, gonna hear it
Gonna see it, see it
Only when you’re not looking

It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing your intuition in the corner
It’s the same from Winnipeg to California
Punishing our intuition in the corner

The clue stuck to the bottom of a shoe
The mud trail she tracked through the living room
Told you what you already knew

The truth
The truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you
Yeah, the truth sure likes to sneak up on you

THE TRUTH. 🎧. Feat  Ashes and Dreams

Thank U for listening from us three🙏🙏🙏

Lyrics:
I’m a pattern on a patchwork heart
What am I gonna do with my little part?
Cover up everything that’s dark?
Or shoot light outta my heart

Like a rainbow
Cut through the clouds
Like a rainbow

Do da do Do da do

Shuffling along inside my shoes
Walking on a different road than you

Do da do Do da do

I’m hoping we can find a thread to share

Seems to me we’re really quite the same
Really quite the same
We’re different patterns cut in different shapes

Ooo, are you?
Maybe not, maybe we are
The same thing, underneath this
Ooo, are you?
Maybe not, but what if we are
The same thing, underneath this?

Do you wanna make a patchwork heart?
We are only strong as the thread holding us together
Double seam on the things that we really need
To hold the light in our hearts

Like a rainbow

Cut through the clouds
Like a rainbow

Shoot out my heart
Like a rainbow

You’re in my heart
Like a rainbow

Stick together like a patchwork heart
And shine our light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Stick together like a patchwork heart
And shine our light
Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Like a rainbow
It’s the colour of light

Patchwork Heart with Weathered Hearts

I don’t know what it is anymore 
It ain’t kicking a can down the road 
It’s not an endless summer drive 
Filled with sunshine and iced tea 
Or drive-in movies under a starry sky 
And the smell of jasmine in the air 
 
Who can define something 
That no longer exists? 
Like a stretch of blacktop without neon 
Or young love with innocence 
And frosty root beer floats 
Or a moonlit bay filled with boats 
 
Chorus 
Freedom is missing 
Gone with yesterday’s rain 
Freedom is missing 
There is nothing left to gain 
Freedom is a satchel 
That lost all its grain 
 
Those who appreciate it most 
Are being shown the door 
Those doing the shoving 
Have no soul to bore 
Just money belts filled 
From the executioner’s chore 
 
The Dark Age has ascended 
Without a knight in sight 
And the hell hounds are howling 
From across the River Styx 
We’ve just crossed the Rubicon 
What comes next, you can’t fix 
 
Chorus 
Freedom is missing 
Gone with yesterday’s rain 
Freedom is missing 
There is nothing left to gain 
Freedom is a satchel 
That lost all its grain 

Freedom is Missing

with the cream of the jest
at the wheel we are blessed

with shrill and loud disputes
straight ahead the downwards route

in neverland

infantile speech for the dumb
for all the sheeps

we are underestimated rats
gold-givers for spoiled cats

in neverland

s.o.s. we lose contact with the cell
in the end we lose contact with ourselves
in neverland

I had a dream, and I wrote this song not to forget it. 

Technical highlights: hand played bass, slightly odd riff on chorus (15/2) & some extra psychedelia.

Pic & sounds taken with my phone during a recent experience which could help me understand the dream, maybe…

Letra  /  Lyrics:

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)  /  NÍMOR (I don’t know where I am)

Entré en la sala sin hacer ruido,  /  I entered the room making no noise,
los pocos que vi eran desconocidos,  /  the few ones I saw were strangers,
busqué una cama que estuviera libre y dormí.  /  I looked for a spare bed and slept.

Al día siguiente no encontré mi sitio,   /  The following day I didn’t find my place,
todo estaba lleno de desconocidos,  /  the whole room was full of strangers,
me di la vuelta para salir y te vi.  /  I turned around to leave and I saw you.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …

La cama de al lado estaba vacía,  /  The bed at your side was empty,
y me preguntaste si la quería,  /  and you asked if I wanted it,
la quise y pronto nos hicimos amigos,  /  I did and soon we became friends,
desconocidos.  /  strangers.

Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...
Nímor, no sé quién eres…  /  Nímor, I don’t know who you are …
Nímor, no sé qué pasa…  /  Nímor, I don’t know what’s going on...
Nímor, no sé dónde estoy...  /  Nímor, I don’t know where I am...

Te pregunté “¿cómo se llama este sitio?”  /  I asked you "what’s the name of this place?"
y me contestaste que estaba contigo,  /  and you answered that I was with you,
y sin darme cuenta te quise mucho y dormí.  /  and unconsciously I loved you so and slept.

Ahora del sueño ya me he despertado,  /  Now from the dream I’ve already woken,
tu nombre lamento no haber preguntado,  /  your name I regret not having asked,
te llamaré como el sitio en que te conocí.  /  I’ll call you like the place where I met you.

Nímor (…)  /  Nímor (…)

NÍMOR (No sé dónde estoy)

Who has had cause to stand up
To stand against something wrong
A half-naked fakir way over there
Almost starved himself to death
All in the face of oppression
What does it take for you to care?

There was a guy in the shadow
Of adobe drew a line in the sand
Out-numbered and out-gunned
He was a man who took a stand
Fighting a lost cause
Doing only what a man can

Chorus
When we stand up
We rise
When we rise
We stand up
It’s time to do one
Or the other

The Truth stood up for her family
And her Sojourn changed lives
All around and up and down
She wasn’t any bigger than a minnow
But folks looked up to her all around
Because she stood for what was Right

And what about the guy with the 101
Surrounded by knockwurst and sauerkraut
And only a few hot dogs to fend them off
Showing no social skills but a lot of guts
He answered a call to lay down arms
With a single word. Nuts!

Chorus
When we stand up
We rise
When we rise
We stand up
It’s time to do one
Or the other

Stand Up

Old Bill packed up and crossed that rise
Chasin’ shadows in a suit and tie
Came back down, talkin’ mighty proud
But the silence spoke louder than the crowd
Folks looked on, wearin’ worn-down grins
Feelin’ like stray dogs left in the wind
He talked real slick, like a man with a plan
But his smile was carved in cold, wet sand

Chorus
Ugly Bill, Ugly Bill
Rollin’ high on Capitol Hill
Ain’t it a thrill? Ain’t it a thrill?
Like a jingle on a roadside sign
Spoutin’ words that don’t mean time
He knows what he wants, but can’t see clear
The rest of us are still stuck here

They say the truth gets bent in town
Like a coat left out when the rain pours down
Bill found God in a lobby hall
Took his check and let the rafters fall
Now we’re wadin’ deep in consequence
While he’s off signin’ our last cents
This ain’t how the story’s s’posed to go
But liars ride the winds that blow

Ugly Bill, Ugly Bill
He’s king of the overkill
Ain’t it a thrill? Ain’t it a thrill?
He left the barn, he shut the gate
Now all we do is sit and wait
For something more than flag-waved pride
Or just a little place to hide

I don’t know what he’s lookin’ for
But it ain’t what's knockin’ on our door
He took the ball, ran past the line
Now he’s roamin’ where the sun don’t shine
Truth be told, this ain't a drill
We’re just stuck here with Ugly Bill

Chorus
Ugly Bill, Ugly Bill
Ain’t climbed no mountain, just climbed a hill
And what a thrill
A nation's like a sewer
You get out what you put in

Ugly Bill

We’ve all become bulls
Tuned loose in an arena of fools
The Potomac Basin is overrun
The center of the vast arena
And the bulls charge out
Ready to have their fun

How did we become such spawn
Acing like schoolyard children
Or raucous trailhands full of Who Hit John
The Basin is full of them
And the old oak tree is wrapped
With a bright red ribbon

Chorus
Everybody wants to talk
And nobody wants to listen
They don’t care one lick
The nature of your position
Don’t let the cancel culture nix it
It’s time for us all to fix it

The Dark Con of Man
Spreads throughout the land
Carving a vast chasm
We are in the throes of spasm
We cannot wave it off
As every person has them

Bridge
Love is the answer
Love is the key
Render unto Caesar
That which is Caesar’s
And unto God
The things that are God’s
But don’t for a minute

Try to say it’s the same
Because the Almighty
Has no hand in this game
We have all taken the toxic potion
Trying to wash hands in Neptune’s Ocean

Chorus
Everybody wants to talk
And nobody wants to listen
They don’t care one lick
The nature of your position
Don’t let the cancel culture nix it
It’s time for us all to fix it

Fix It Don't Nix It

My doctor left for Burning Man
Said he’s selling sage and salmon scans
Insurance won’t cover facts no more
Just turmeric pills and mushroom lore

Bobby’s got a clinic in the Keys
Where they trade vaccines for NFTs
You want a cure? Just light some sage
A witches brew with help from Mr. Clean

They’re whisking folks to foreign shores
Say it’s safer than the dollar store
You lose your job, they fly you south
With tape a-covering your mouth

They’re building camps in no one knows
The labor’s cheap, the funding flows
The zip code’s red, the floor is swept
And every dream gets data-kept

Chorus
This is what happens when the podcast wins
When the pill is a meme and the cure’s just a spin
When truth becomes a social site
And the late show signs flickered out of sight
This is what happens when the madmen steer
We trade our doubts for likes and fears
 
The tenured minds were told to go
Replaced by screens and CEO flow
They burned the books, then banned the plays
Said Shakespeare makes the children stray

The teachers left, the donors came
The coach got more office space
They painted over Ethics Hall
And built a gift shop in its place

Chorus
This is what happens when the podcast ends
When the pill is a meme and the cure’s just a spin
When truth becomes a social site
And the late show signs flickered out of sight
This is what happens when the madmen steer

What did you expect?

I MADE UP THIS SONG, EVERYTHING COME'S FROM YOU
NOW THAT YOUR GONE, THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

I MESSED UP OUR LOVE, MESSED UP MY WORLD WITH YOU
IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING NEW
THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

(BREAK)

I LOOK BACK ON LIFE, I HAD NO CONTROL OF YOU
NOW FEELING ALIVE AND NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

IF I HAD MY TIME AGAIN
I WOULD NOT SURLY BE CALLING YOU MY FRIEND,  NO

THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)

My Parallel Universe (Three Photons Oct 2018)
Written in C# Phyrgian mode. Cheers, TJG. 

it's a parallel universe
it's what I believe
you and I staring out at space
you're staring back at me

we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!

I think I was shaken 
by the light in your eyes
I must have been taken
for a beautiful ride

we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!

just to find you

just to find you

WHAT CAN I DO?
