Yep.  I'm right there with ya.  And you absolutely nailed it.

"It's mostly...wonderful..."  I like that caveat. It can be...at times, and especially if you're up in the middle of the night ;)  Liked the delivery of this muse...your vocal carries the possibilities and different point of view. Wonderful mix/master, too! :)

Lovely song ……. Quirky, inventive and love those clever, heartfelt lyrics - loved the melody too :)

Quirky, yes but so are dreams, our unconscious showing us life from inside out; and what if we woke up to a dream reality--unnerving to think about.  A wonderfully thoughtful song and delivered with sweet but penetrating vocal skill.

Phew! That was a sail. Complex,curious,catchy and creative.

Really nice vocals, lyrics and mix. Sounds great.

I composed this song many years ago but I updated the tune in 2023. 

Lyrics

I’m sitting here thinking
What are you doing 
I hope you’re doing fine; I do miss you so

That sweet smile you have
Leaves a picture in my mind
All I can do, is just think of you

Everybody needs someone to be close to
Everybody needs someone to confide with
Cause being lonely, never helped nobody, and all I can do s just think of you

When I’m with you
Everything seems so fine
I give you all I have, just give me love in return

I’ll share my love with you
If only you stay near
I really don’t know what I’d do, if some day you were gone

Everybody Needs Someone (Remaster)

OnTheEdgeOfTheWorld

Hey have you heard
That time is running out
And there leaves no doubt

To arms to arms
Man the stations heed the call
One and all

Enough with all the debate
The time’s for action
Before it’s too…

Oh can you see
We’re all standing on the edge
On the edge of the world

Solo

When the embers 
Of your dreams 
Lie smouldering 
At your feet 

Then will you see 
We’re all standing on the edge 
On the edge of the world 

Solo

Enough with all the debate
The time’s for action
Before it’s too…

Hey have you heard
That time is running out
And there leaves no doubt

When the embers 
Of your dreams 
Lie smouldering 
At your feet 

Then will you see
We’re all standing on the edge
On the edge of the world

On the edge of the world

OnTheEdgeOfTheWorld

It's mostly wonderful, getting older.

I Thought I Knew        

The world is upside down                   
The secrets that I never knew
On my bedroom ceiling
 
The world is inside out 
Seams are on the outside
It’s a real confusing feeling
        
A mushroom is a mushroom    
That is something everybody knows
But what if when you woke up very early in the morning 
Your mushroom was a toadstool     
Your bluebird was a pointed rock?
A dog bite was a diamond 
And your cancer was a smile?
 
Oh yeah, I knew it all            
But suddenly I’m learning 
After sixty years of knowing

I never knew that much          
It’s a real peculiar feeling
And I don’t know where it’s  going      
    
A matchbox is a matchbox
That is something everybody knows 
But what if then you stayed up very late into the evening and 
Your matchbox was a carpet flying you right through the ceiling?
A trail of fire behind you as you wish the world goodbye?

I thought I knew 
I thought I knew

What if they were untrue                   
The stories I’ve been telling that had sounded so appealing?
 And every word was false
A blanket made of fiction
It’s a real confusing feeling

A mushroom is a mushroom
That is something everybody knows
But what if when you woke up very early in the morning 
Your mushroom was tomorrow    
Your fingers were a pigeon
Your secrets were a fairy tale and everyone was gone?

What if a different song was playing all along?

I thought I knew 
I thought I knew

I Thought I Knew - Mixed and Mastered by Russ

When we were clearing my brother in law's house after he died in an accident,we came across a little written musing. It's the spoken part at the end of this short track. Perhaps not polished,yet poignant. Rest easy Alan.

Magic at work
There we go
Watch it unfold
It's all guesswork
Nothing to show
All uncontrolled

Drifting along
Aimlessly
Life and the flow
Is there a song
Just for me
Will I ever know

When life has lost it's theme
It's crazy impossible dream
And a heart is beyond tears
And worries and fears
Then the answers lie at best
In the scudding distant clouds
Or in memories of vibrant years
Long gone

Exoplanet - Remix (New Song 2024 & Video Link)

Cast of Characters:
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel –MD-- vocals and lyrics in the choruses
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– guitar, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and vocalized tones at the end, verse lyrics and melody, composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, vocals on the verses

This is a song that originated with Ken several months ago. He wrote the whole thing on piano, guitar, and drums and presented it to the rest of the band. Of course, everyone was very excited to add their spin to it. Josh added his bass part first, as the foundation. Then JJ added his dynamic piano part, which ended up being both foundational and stylistic. Stephen added his solid foundational guitar to it, too, soon after. Then it sat, stalled out for need of some vocals. Of course, we asked TMD to add some, which he did in grand fashion. All that was left were the verses. Ken wrote lyrics, and gave Josh an idea for the melody, so he sang the verses to wrap it up. Of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did so well, as always.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Lyrics:

Trying not to look at you
When I see you are coming this way
Trying not to show
That you are on my mind all day..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Trying to turn away, so you won't se me drool
Failing to tell myself, that you are just a fool..

When you give me a smile like that
Im melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Trying to resist your charm
But you are like a magnet
Hoping that you won't see, that I am so in my knees..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Doing stupid things, every time you're near
Saying stupid words, don't mean them all i swear..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling..

Wondering if there is any point in holding back
Loving you and your being
Loving that tickling feeling..

When you give me a smile like that
I'm melting, can't resist your being
Your eyes shine like the sun in the sky
You give me that tickling feeling...
