Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

Lyrics:
I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really —-is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

Let’s Pool our talents together ——and move forward in a big way
the difference between giant steps and ———-Child’s play
night and day —-the price we pay
it’s gotta be—-what the people want —-not what the politicians says
—-I’m not a biblical man—-a man of principle—-I am
I believe in good and evil —and that energy is divine
Is it a chance or a miracle ——of being who I am ———
who’ll guide and protect you
Too many gods to kneel to ——
So many beliefs to cling to——what’s true?
who do you have to save you
Is the miracle within you —-clever but ————truth——-ful
God work is never done —-we’re never in ———-ne——utral
These are life’s lesson————enter the teacher ———exit the pupil

take my blessings when I can———-my lessons——- from who I am
This divine spark of energy ———is it chaos——or life‘s plan
Is faith—the path ——or journey—-taken by anyone who can
no good or evil theory just the fact that I am is all I need to guide me
————no spoken word or prophecy
The challenge ——just to stay free—- victory over enemies
The past is all history—wars—-brutality—- blasphemy
the suffering —-the agony—-the cruelty—-the tragedy

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy
life is never duty free —-there really is no certainty
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

By the Numbers - w/ IPG1 and MJ-Brewer

I can’t take my mind off you
I guess that you were long over due
And I don’t need to verbalize 
Cause I think you realize 
What you do to me girl

So let’s make the most of every minute we’ve got
You smell so good  and you look so hot
And there’s something in the way you walk
And there’s something in the way you talk
And there’s something in the way you smile 
That I just can’t put my finger on but I really like you
You make me feel much better than human has a right to

You make me feel so happy  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I don’t know how long this is gonna last
Although the fire is hot it can burn out so fast
So let’s do the best we can
And though we may not have a plan
Yeah we’ve got style 

We’ve got each other tonight and the feeling is right
Let’s go out and party until daylight
And there’s something in the way you walk
And there’s something in the way you talk
And there’s something in the way you smile 
That I just can’t put my finger on but I really like you
You make me feel so much better than a human as a right to

You make me feel happy.  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find
I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find

You make me feel so happy.  You make me feel so good.
You make me soar so high.  Higher than I ever thought I could.

I’m attracted to your body I’m attracted to your mind
You’re the kind of woman that I thought I’d never find

I'll Fly Away

Going to be a tough day today, Me Thinks!!! 🙄🤪😁😜

Well, I was completely wrong about my day!!!!  When I finally managed to leave the flat!!!  For some reason, when I've been awake all night, especially in the week, I'm always late for work!  
Usually because, 1:  I don't want to go, 2: I've picked up the drawing I'm currently doing 3: I can't go out now, Not until I've shaded in all parts I've just outlined!!! Lol and my personal favourite 4: I Really Don't Want To Go To Work Today, Tomorrow, Next Week, EVER!!!!! 😹😜🤪🦞
Anyway, after all that, I had a nice day at work today! 🤣😹😜
And I know why!  Because I was on my own, have been all week, and I fucking love It, No one hassling me, I get more work done, it's nice and quiet and there's no Drama! Just me, building a stone wall! Happy days, It won't last though.
I realised something today, or I've been re reminded, and I reckon someone is taking the piss out of me!

Hi, I'm Jake a 56 year old music addict and drug fiend who is finally starting to see the error of his ways!!! (too late now and no room for regrets!) And by Error of my ways, I mean I can see how I've ruined the taking of certain drugs by abusing them! So now they no longer work properly!  I'm 40 years in now! and I am going to see it through till the end! A true Taurus person, Stubborn as Fuck!
For people who have never taken drugs, I suggest you start NOW! It's a Spiritual thing, You have to Expand your mind to accommodate the knowledge that will set you free! If you are good at meditating, then that will do as good, if not better, I'm shit at meditating! So it's drugs for me!  It's all about truth, and don't be fooled into thinking you can learn this by reading it in a book or listening to someone speaking about it, YOU CAN'T,  It must come from within your self,  A Realisation, Only then will You know the Truth! 
I got into Punk around 1982 and not long after discovered Hardcore Punk, around 1993 I finally allowed myself to get into Rave and then got into mixing.
I got into Oldskool Hardcore and Jungle when I turned 50! better late than never I suppose. haha
