Ballad of Joe Theme

Psychedelic Princess

The Elevator

TEOP1 Field Keyboard and Korg Kaossilator, lots of Audacity post filters.

Halibut

I began writing this piece for minimalist organ with the intention of having multiple overlapping sections, but then I got bored and added some funk.  When I got to editing in Audacity, I added a "Paul Stretch" to a section which is the thing that makes it sometimes sound like it's "underwater", but this time it sounded like an airplane, so I got obsessed with that noise and put it all over the track in different forms and made that the general theme.

Well Clear ADSB

Verse 1
I take these pills, I think they make me crazy
I walk these hills, I think I’m gettin’ lazy
The wind cuts sharp, the night feels heavy
My hands don’t shake, but they’re never steady

Chorus
And I don’t know if I’m breaking or I’m strong
I’ve been waiting for a place where I belong
The silence in my chest beats like a song
Tell me if I’m right, or if I’ve been wrong

Verse 2
I chase the moon, it slips right through my fingers
The past still hums, and the silence lingers
The streets are cold, the echoes chase me
The more I run, the more they face me

Chorus
And I don’t know if I’m breaking or I’m strong
I’ve been waiting for a place where I belong
The silence in my chest beats like a song
Tell me if I’m right, or if I’ve been wrong

Verse 3
I hear the clocks, they never stop their ticking
I play my cards, but the deck feels tricking
I count my breaths, like they might save me
I look for love, but the night enslaves me


I'm Breaking

Carry the Torch

I guess it’s been a minute since I’ve seen you. 
I carved the date you left in my desk. 
I remember laughing on the subway. 
I’ve been in a sorry kind of state. 

Memories of the good old days 
When we lived beyond the fray	
Loving life and buying time
We had the rhythm but not the rhyme

Don’t shed a tear
I’m in the laughter
I’m in the fear.
a protector 
I’m always near

Heartbreak ravages those who had known you
An important voice muted too soon
I won’t forget the honesty and the laughter
I’ll carry the torch all by myself

Memories of the good old days 
When we lived beyond the fray	
Loving life and buying time
We had the rhythm but not the rhyme

Don’t shed a tear
I’m in the laughter
I’m in the fear.
a protector 
I’m always near


Carry the Torch

Experimental meditation oscillation song. TEOP1 Field keyboard, started with a layer of mid-level digital organ with some weird timber effect in it, then added an almost walking jazz bass accompaniment, then went back and added a higher layer of some more ethereal stuff.  The point of this song is drone background for some thinking/working.
