My thought is that we all have an inner being that lives with us. Our own inner circle. Call it the soul, the consciousness or whatever you want. Probably it learns through our upbringing and education how to help us and maybe it is there to guide us when we face difficult questions or situations in life.
No, that idea has nothing to do with religion for me. I do not believe in any god or denomination. I just think that is how our mind and brain usually work, for better or worse......

Unfortunately, it seems that far too many of humanity are losing touch with this being, and instead are carried away by the increasingly absurd thoughts and ideas that certain people and groups of followers, with the force of insistent repetition, shout out to the world.......Hmmmm

Insults to people, falsified history, empty promises, violence, persecution, war and torture and disgusting behavior both verbally and physically. An endless flood of black sticky smelly filth of violence-promoting culture, that is poisoning more and more of our world, and people's minds, and causes them, maybe sometimes even against their will, to participate in increasingly absurdly disturbed and violent activities.....

Isn't it time we all helped put a stop to this......or? I am mad as hell, and I will not take this anymore.....but is there hope for the children.....for all of us..... and a positive future........and what should we rely on and believe in........Hmmmm

Deep Inside

When your broken moral compass assaults his eternal soul
When folk apportion token fault upon what little faith I hold
When humanity has knifed itself, and hope bleeds from infernal holes
When night's arrival, day concedes, its warmth displaced by bitter Cold

When evolution's vanities lie buried deep in fossil earth
When pagan rite insanities, render cheap, their measly worth
When any good God's lessons die 'neath cloven crackled mirth
When children' hearts bear tender fear from the very instance of their birth

When the simplest of kindnesses stands blatantly denied
When respect for fellow mortal lands gutter-bound, cast aside
When the spyglass is inverted to inspect what’s deep inside
When the court of civil fortitude finds us guilty as described

When the very least of all is but the best that can be done 
When portends toss and nightmares turn, and grace is on the run
When you, my friend must burn your shame, face the shadows of our sun
Then all is lost, accept the blame, for hell on earth has just begun.

Deep inside - David, Peter & Seagull

Hello everyone,
This is the first of three songs we will present during the first part of the autumn. We wish you a pleasant listening, and maybe they will arouse a thought or two. ;)

Are your pursuits in life leading you to find, maybe only when you are old enough, that you just been running around in circles? That you have repeated your mistakes and assumptions over and over again, without gaining insight and understanding, and learning from them...... and perhaps you even recognize mistakes that your parents made, that you promised yourself you would never make......then you are probably not alone.......

Maybe we are all just echoes of the past, who just running around in a inner world of circles, in a lost touch with real reality, and our perhaps shrinking belief in something more important and more valuable and rewarding than the nonsense and lies of politicians and other jawbones that just chatter without thought..... 
And yet, without thinking, we follow these so-called leaders who shouts the loudest, promises the most, are most visible...... and undoubtedly in most cases behaves like the narcissistic and self-absorbed king in the fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes" by HC Andersen........

Does this make us angry....or just resigned......or what?..............Hmmmmmm

And by the way, there will finally be three songs in this coming playlist that reflect this theme, when everything is ready. We hope you have a pleasant listening to these musical paintings of thoughts and ponderings ;)

A big and very warm thank you, my friends, David & Peter, for another couple of months of wonderful collaboration, conversations, laughter and anecdotes and your superb musical sense. ;)

Web of Circles

…and place the host upon my tongue
as his grace, the bishop did, when I was young
to set life's path as angels sung
since when I've tracked an arcing line
my cracked heart marinades in altar wine
as webbed circles on repeat define
…
……the mirrored threads within my mind.

…and carbon copies as before
in mobius time reflect the score 
while catastrophes gorge today once more
identikits forged on command from yesterday
nothing learned, just press replay
and watch heads in hands as the people pray
…
……for the pendulum to swing the other way

…and certain as the wheeling orbit's path
history founders on future’s aftermath
to sin once more as lucifer belly laughs
run aground we last forget that sacred host
‘neath chancel’s hell he resurrects what aches the most
humanity self-lashed to eternity’s whipping post
…
……by the Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Pale Blue Dot (NoRinTon Remix)

And I'm glad she did!

Music and Lyrics by David Michael Turnbow

LYRICS
She found me mired in a mess
My life was drowning in distress
She saw a diamond in a lump of coal
I tried to tell her “No. Go away. I’m a toxic soul”

I fought hard; she was standing strong
And soon, she convinced me I was wrong
Still can’t believe that it was me she picked
Still expecting she’ll wake up and feel she had been tricked

I’m hers now: body, heart and head
To me, she’s all things A to Zed
I never thought that love could bring such glee
There’s no one in the world who could mean more to me than she

She Found Me

Title: “Count to Ten”

Verse 1:
They call the count, I taste the ground,
Blood and dust, no one around.
Static hums through broken wires,
Dreams still smolder in the fire.

Pre-Chorus:
But I hear that voice inside my head,
It says, “Get up, you’re not dead yet.”

Chorus:
Ten seconds from oblivion,
But I won’t fade, I won’t give in.
You can drag me down again and again —
I rise before the count to ten.

Verse 2:
Lights flash cold across my face,
Time slows down, I lose my place.
Every ghost I thought I’d killed
Whispers softly, “Are you fulfilled?”

Pre-Chorus:
But I hear that voice inside my head,
It says, “Get up, man, you’re not dead yet.”

Chorus:
Ten seconds from oblivion,
But I won’t fade, I won’t give in.
You can drag me down again and again —
I rise before the count hits ten.

Verse 3:
Scars like roads across my skin,
Show the places I’ve been within.
In the silence, I make my stand,
The fallen never leave the land.

Pre-Chorus:
But I hear that voice inside my head,
It says, “Get up, man, you’re not dead yet.”

Chorus:
Ten seconds from oblivion,
But I won’t fade, I won’t give in.
You can drag me down again and again —
I rise before the count hits ten.


Count to Ten

Venus In Furs

Sleeping Ghost

Original by Fleetwood Mac 1975

Vocal : Debbie Lynn

Landslide

Started out with organ with some oscillating dissonance chords to build tension.  Then I switch into a minimalist bell/piano arpeggiation for a while, which slowly builds into trance, and then into some more heavy dub trance.  There's a melody lead with a phase pad throughout the entire song, and I also added some heavier bells that do some fifth step ups and octave steps as a regular theme.  I fade out with what sounds like a dulcimer.  This is all TEOP1 Field keyboard though as usual, no analog instruments.  Some reverb added in audacity, -14dB normalization, -1dB soft limit. Enjoy your fall everyone! Crunch some leaves!

Think It Over

Take your time
Think it over
I don’t mind
I don’t mind

Close your eyes
Feel it colder
Wait for signs
Wait for signs

(Pre-Chorus)
We’ve got time to put things into place
Every heartbeat moves at its own pace

Verse 2
Breathe it in
Let it linger
Don’t pretend
Don’t pretend

Hear the wind
Wrap your fingers
Round the end
Round the end

(Pre-Chorus)
We’ve got time to put things into place
Every heartbeat moves at its own pace

(Chorus)
When the road gets long
And the nights feel wrong
Just take your time,
You’re my reason and my rhyme. 

Verse 3
Take a step
If you’re able
I’ll be here
I’ll be here

No regrets
No false labels
Just be near
Just be near

(Pre-Chorus)
We’ve got time to put things into place
Every heartbeat moves at its own pace

(Chorus)
When the road gets long
And the nights feel wrong
Just take your time,
You’re my reason and my rhyme.

Take your time
Think it over
I don’t mind
I don’t mind

Close your eyes
Feel it colder
Wait for signs
Wait for signs

(Pre-Chorus)
We’ve got time to put things into place
Every heartbeat moves at its own pace

(Chorus)
When the road gets long
And the nights feel wrong
Just take your time,
You’re my reason and my rhyme.
