Still enjoying the re-read of Asimov's Foundation series. I found the cover art in the retro futuristic section of Pinterest - I'm sure it's AI generated. Love the colours!

All the guitar parts were played on a Fender Telecaster with Texas pickups.

Troubled Times

Music : Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Vocals & lyrics : Janne Hennie

Lyrics:

If you feel tired and can't find any pleasures
Unable to see how things really should be

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If you don't know how to love
And don't know how to live
If you feel split in two
And have nothing to give

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If family and friends see you as only strong
They may not be aware of
That you struggle all day long

And need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

To be able to help others
You have to help yourself
Don't be ashamed
To stop up and say

That you need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

So take a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day...

Take A Long Break W/ Janne Hennie

This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured his son, Marshall, singing the lead with his dad, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to him. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. This song also has special meaning for JJ and Ken in relation to their fathers, as well. JJ's dad has had a rough year with his health. He also is a musician who inspired and encouraged JJ to play music. His dad also likes this song, so it was fun for him to present it to him, as well. Ken, who's father never really supported his decision to be a rock and roller, loves this version of the song we did, and made Ken know how proud of him he is in regard to it, which really meant a lot to Ken, too. Also, we feel like we should acknowledge Artur's dog, even though Artur isn't in on this one, his dog loves country music and responded enthusiastically to this one.
  The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. Then it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the JD, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break now. He also added the guitar lick at the very beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his cunning harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.

Take Me Home Country Roads (The Eclectic Collective)

You Just can't be calling me conceited 
When I'm just like you while I'm getting drunk high and weeded
Beat it, your false premonitions are defeated
Were breeded by the unknowing mind and you repeat it
This whole damn lifes been betrayal finding bail
Trying to keep myself from overnight in jail
Dulls pale in comparison with my facts of life
And my constant knack to fail want the details?

Want the Details?
Want the Details?

Ill treated since the first day of being made to pay
Being made to lie and cheat and scheme everyday
So I pray no talking shit my way no saying shit my way
Cause I'll have nothing left to say
Ill snap make a neck crack and a vein pop
Never gonna stop Arch Nemesis of a Cop
The cream of the crop who cannot rise to the top
I need an elevator or maybe a motivator

People Hater of the first, second, and third kind
Walking blind, lagging losing steps, falling behind
Rewind, peace of mind no such kind
Letter saying I'm gone was already sealed and signed
Left behind was my will to force and grind
Against a force that's way off course and really not my kind
So ill have no peace and I wont beg please
And I wont drop down in disparity begging on my knees
I remain bold Rather freeze in the cold
Force myself to age prematurely so I die when I'm old
And just fold so I'll die quicker
Life's a habit I had to kick her i downed the liquor
Or is this booze I'm feelin sicker its coming quicker
I see a shining light I see a shining flicker
Dead off the guilt of thinking that's its my fault
This ain't fucking booze it's a bottle of Lysol!

Follow me down follow me way down
Follow me down follow me way down
Follow me down follow me way down
Down into the fucking rabbit hole asshole

Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, music and mix by Chuck Aaron (New version by Chuck)

WE DON'T KNEEL WHEN THE FLAG IS BEING RAISED
WE DON'T WANT OUR FREEDOM TAKEN AWAY
WE DON'T BURN AND LOOT DOWN ON MAIN STREET
WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY CAN'T YOU SEE

WE DON'T LIKE WHERE THE COUNTRY IS GOIN'
WE LIKE IT THE WAY IT USED TO BE
THE MUSIC BROUGHT US ALL TOGETHER
WHY CAN'T IT BE LIKE IT USED TO BE

(CHORUS)
AND I'M PROUD TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY
A PLACE WHERE ANYONE CAN HAVE IT ALL
YOU'LL FIND US AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY
AND GOD AND FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL

BOOTS ON THE GROUND ARE NEVER POPULAR
WE DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO KEEP US FREE
WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE HOMELAND
I THINK MOST PEOPLE WILL AGREE
AND GOD AND FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

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. Ken also left his catchy original guitar intro as it was. Then JJ added his dynamic piano part, which ended up being both foundational and stylistic, along with the sax that you hear in there, too. 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 for the choruses. 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.

Disfruto haciendo esto, y espero que vosotros disfrutéis igual produciendo vuestros temas. 
Aquí podréis escuchar todos mis temas producidos desde el 2023.
Intento mejorar y explorar nuevos sonidos y ritmos en cada tema, siempre de un modo dark, sin ir a buscarlo, parece ser que ese es mi estilo aunque quien sabe en qué acabará esto. 

I enjoy doing this, and I hope you enjoy producing your songs as well.
Here you can listen to all my songs produced since 2023.
I try to improve and explore new sounds and rhythms in each song, always in a dark way, without going out of my way to find them. That seems to be my style, although who knows how this will end.
