Alchemy and Stones
By David Husted

V1

Your an alchemist shaping my world
metal and leaf, herbs and fire
Your the pestle to ground the root
To shake my truth, without gun powder
   
ch                      
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

V2
And the stones of philosophers
The secrets of flowers golden
The halls of wise, the dreams that lie behind
The paradise we long for

ch
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

Rock Bridge

Ch Quiet

You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me
                
V3

You take my cynical, my rigid , my narrow mind stiffening
You mix me it in your crucible, release internal conflicts
I'm tired of being wrapped up in my revolutions
Un-dress me take me inside your peaceful evolution

Your peaceful evolution
Your peaceful evolution
 

Ch  
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might

Love You

I have a new song release scheduled for 13 DEC 24 called Alchemy and Stones. 

In one of my past song journal entries my word of the day was amalgam and I threw in the word alchemy for good measure.  During the lyric building process for this song my brain seemed to be still heavily steeped in the essence of these words. They were percolating through my thought streams. Much of the lyrical content contains imagery associated with this chemistry of the past and its mythic symbols. Our messy world provided additional ingredients that fell into the steaming crucible and began to round out this song into its final state.

There were four different songs that fed my creative spark and development process.  They were the following:

Spoon: Wild
James McMurtry: Canola Fields
Fruit Bats: Waking Up in Los Angeles
Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero

Deep bow of gratitude to all these artists.  My primary reference for the arrangement was Wild and it had the deepest structural influence on the song. The McMurtry song helped me hit on an idea for the chorus melody that seemed to stick with me and I liked his vocal delivery and cadence. The Fruit Bats was really not used at all but I loved the ohhhs in the chorus and wanted to find a way to emulate the laid back ease of them in my song.  However, my particular song style, tempo and arrangement just never allowed an entry point. The Fruit Bats song did keep the juices flowing though so that is why it still receives honorable mention in this write-up.

Finally, the  song by Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero did have a role in my song believe it or not.  If you listen to one of the synths you will hear a gated pumping sound courtesy of an Auto Pan and a Phaser-Flanger Plug-in. I really should thank a Music Producer named Ill Factor for teaching me the sound design process here. He demonstrated the technique in a YouTube video. Pretty cool.  As I have said before, I learn something new in every new song I build.  It is always deeply enjoyable for me. I also appreciate you for leaning in and listening. I wish you all the very best.

Thank You

Have a Great Weekend,

Ice & Fire is the twelfth studio album by the Dragonsail Puppets.

THE HEAT LADDER   
  
I saw the lightning strike the grass and flame   
Volcano spew the rock of lame   
Dead branches rub together - flame   
And we started to climb   
Into the all-consuming fire   
  
Scratching flint to flame   
Torches dipped to flame   
Surging interior balls of flame   
Faces flickering aflame   
  
Creeping and stooping with furry backs   
Through the icy night   
We started to climb   
Into the bubbling vats and the roaring engines   
And the hissing steam   
Into space   
  
I'm not surprised   
For the day we met with our eyes   
The world began   
And I knew   
The all-consuming fire   
Was already in my hand   
  
Yeah this mutha gets hot   
Underground no sound   
But the crackling and the bubbling all around   
We're the dust of a meteor shower   
And we've always been solar powered   
More lessons on the way   
Buttercup, ape's going up   
I gotta cool off honey   
Train the hose on all I got   
Cuz this mutha gets hot

This is an old Jerry Jeff Walker song from a live album that Josh's dad played countless times while driving around in his his old pickup truck while he was growing up. Josh decided this year's musical gift to his father would be a recording of this song, which his dad has always loved. When he asked his bandmates in the Eclectic Collective to help him with it, they all generously and enthusiastically agreed to do so.

  Josh began the song by laying down the piano you hear throughout. He then added the bass before asking Ken to lay down the drums. Ken learned the song very quickly, and added perfect drums to it. Stephen then added his solid foundational guitar. Then, Josh went back in and added the mandolin before singing the whole thing. Before it was done, however, Josh tapped JJ to add the piano solo after the first chorus, which he did with grand style and flourish.

  Once it was in the can, Stephen was kind enough to mix and master it in his always professional manner. 

  Josh is very grateful to his bandmates for helping him give the gift of music to his dad once again this year. His dad has alwasy supported him with his music, from the time he was a little kid, and is very proud of his musical skills to this day. We hope you enjoy listening to this

a behind-the-scenes look at the writing process😂 a "yabba" session🤭🤘

YabbaDoNow😂(Right-thru)improv live session

you said you hate my guts
you said you found somebody better
if that's true then what's the point 
of you asking me if we could be together
like oh my god i'm done
i'm sick of all your "love"
you never gave a fuck
you never gave a fuck

and my friends say "hey what's up"
and i say "i'm back with her again"
"i wish the best of luck but i'm not dealing with this shit"
fifth time's the charm, or maybe sixth
we've done enough, we're used to this
i'm sure it won't get bad again
no way it gets that bad again

the only thing worse than you is the lock on assault rifle in fortnite
