What can I I say, so many John Prine songs and I love them all.  Would have loved to see him in concert but we still have his music

Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness( Cover - John Prine)

Written by Tom Paxton
Performed by Josh McAlexander
used my Ibanez UB 804 upright on this I think it sounds close to acoustic.

The Last Thing on my Mind

Original Lyrics that inspired Glen by Tony Harris
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem

HE GREW UP IN THE SOUTH IN THE 1920'S
WHEN WORK WAS HARD TO FIND
A YOUNG MAN IN HIS THIRTY'S
NO STRANGER TO THE DAILY GRIND

BACK IN THOSE DAYS OF OLD
MOST OF THE WELLS WERE DUG BY HAND
WATER WAS WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD
AND VERY IMPORTANT WHEN BUYIN' LAND

TO EARN EXTRA MONEY DURING HARD TIMES
HE DECIDED TO START DIGGIN' WELLS BY HAND
KNOWIN' IT WAS HARD WORK AND LONG HOURS
IT WAS GOIN' TO BE HIS SHORT TERM PLAN

(CHORUS)
AFTER DIGGIN' SEVERAL  WELLS BY HAND
THEY STARTED LAUGHTIN' AT THE YOUNG MAN
HIS WELL DIGGIN' REPUTATION WAS A JOKE
HE COULDN'T HIT WATER IF HE FELL OUT OF THE BOAT
HE COULDN'T HIT WATER IF HE FELL OUT OF THE BOAT

HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF WELL WATER WITCHIN'
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE THE WATER IS LOCATED
BEFORE YOU PICK UP A SHOVEL AND START DIGGIN'
IF YOUR GONNA BE A DEVOTED WELL DIGGER

HE NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO DO ANY RESEARCH
JUST PURCHASED HIS TOOLS AND STARTED DIGGIN'
WOUND UP BEING A WELL DIGGIN' JOKE
THAT COULDN'T HIT WATER IF HE FELL OUT OF THE BOAT

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO)

(REPEAT CHORUS AND OUT)

The first written for my upcoming Time Machine EP with similar music to Enigma and Time Machine, the next track I composed after Drift.

Electro Chill Nu Jazz at 76 bpm

An original composition, no AI,  written digitally MIDI to DAW
………………………………
WORDS that I wrote upon listening to a pre-production mix but they don’t necessarily fit the music. Yet.

Oh
Drift away safely with your head up in the clouds
Yeah drift
Where luscious dreams of a beautiful life are allowed 
Encouraging 
Cosmic lullaby 
Rocking gently 
until you sigh

Drift
Later maybe?
No, commit, baby
Drift drift drift drift 
Drift until your mind shifts 

Nothing can steal your moment 
Remember to keep faith 
letting go to drift will show it 
Wise words sayeth 
As you believe — so go with it
That is how to achieve
Drift 
To know it
Drift 
Go with it 
Drift
Let yourself flow 
Safe in the 
Drift

ARTIST’S NOTE: 
I composed Drift one afternoon in May when I was literally adrift in disappointment, feeling low, uninspired, and fatigued. Empty. How could I create when I was so low? And a thought rang back answering like a bell  — just show up!

All I had to do, my inner voice told me, was show up, put your fingers on the keyboard for a moment. And I did, using the laptop’s built-in MIDI, selecting a VST called Cinema Strings, instinctively I hit an F6 chord — I have an affinity with the key of F because, as a student, I played French Horn, an F instrument. So I’m pressing the keys, and by a slow count of eight of the metronome’s clicks — bam! The music started playing in my head as if already written. I raced to unravel it in threads of melodies, searching for keys that matched what I was hearing in my mind’s ears.

The lesson for me as an artist is to remember to keep faith despite how I might feel. Because the music is waiting for a humble vessel. Just show up.

What you wanna do

Former biathlon Olympic champion Laura Dahlmeier has died on 28th July 2025 while climbing in the Karakorum. A rockfall hit her at high altitude at Laila Peak while she was on the road with her rope partner. Rescue operations were greatly complicated by the dangerous situation.

This tune was supposed to be published with another title and with vocals. It was not finished yet, neither was the life of Laura.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans. John Lennon.

Die Welt hat Dich am Laila Peak verloren

This is Us

[Intro]
It started with a sharp pinch
your eyes—mine
soft chaos in the quiet

[Verse 1]
You looked unimpressed
my heart mistook the signs
fingers almost touched
but the silence broke first

You smiled like thunder
before the rain fell
I staggered toward you
like I swore I wouldn’t do

[Chorus]
This is us
a wildfire kiss
crashing waves and clenched fists
we don't play nice
we burn we twist
falling hard
but never miss
we're not soft
we're stunning in the break

[Verse 2]
Your voice left bruises
in the shape of a broken home
our love's a tornado
in a glass spine

We are wolf and crow
drawn to cliffs and chaos
even the crash feels holy
when it’s you and me babe

[Bridge]
Scars like teeth marks
excuses like echoes
we don’t land soft
we collide like gods
forgetting we can bleed

[Final Chorus]
This is us
not perfect not tame
but brilliant
in our undertaking
we break to rebuild
we fall just to feel
this love
raw and overrated

[Outro]
You should let go
you should let go

This is Us

This song was written by Gaz Brownie as a tribute to Mike Peters from The Alarm who sadly died recently . As soon as I heard the rough demo I said " give it 'ere ! " We got Ken from K2 and the Three to provide brilliant drums to give the whole song a real live feel , we do hope you like it !

Anthem of Resilience

Tim Elliot and I are delighted to offer you our latest Creation as the Harmonic,  Electric, 'One Mic- One Take' Improvisational Duo' - Shekinah Fire * 

As we Let Go in the moment, and improvised this Tone Poem using only Tim's Custom Atilla Guitar and my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano, the Solar Winds definitely seemed as if they were blowing thru our instruments... releasing sounds of Passion, Glory, and the occasional Solar Storm. 

But we'll leave it up to your Ears and Imagination to envision it all. 

Again, this is an improvised electric Symphonic Composition of a number of Movements... All born of our letting go of any pre-planned design, and depending only upon our Deep Listening and where the Music was leading us.

We can also promise you that if you stay with the unfolding flow there will be continual 'flowerings' as it radiates outwards and reveals itSelf. 

May you let Go... and enJOY!

What was that man dreaming of, the one who played the saxophone the other night? When he finally wakes up, we’ll ask him – though it’s unlikely he’ll ever reply. And if by any chance he were willing to answer, he might say: "Nothing that I can remember, because nothing ever happens in my dreams."

This is the second in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

In case nothing happens - part 2 (dawn)*

Tantos inocentes perdidos no caminho
Fugimos de nós, mas voltamos sozinhos
Buscamos um lugar que talvez nem exista
Mas seguimos, de alma em alma, de pista em pista

Mas eu te vejo
Deixa eu ser teu
Me perde e encontra
Outra vez aqui
 
O silêncio pesa mais que a discussão
Porque o que mata é o que fica no coração,
Nos perdemos tentando ter razão
Mas a alma pede paz e não aprovação

Quem somos agora, se não tentar
De sermos inteiros, inteiros
Sem fugir, sem mentir, só entender
Talvez consiga te encontrar

Composição, produção e voz: Gui Pagliari

Mas Eu Te Vejo

Smoke & Mirrors

This song tells the story of an aging former Walk of Fame movie star who once basked in the Hollywood limelight and was everyone’s sweetheart on the silver screen. With the passage of time, fewer screen roles come her way, and she begins to depend on red wine to cope with her depression and grief. Eventually, she decides to end it all. Indeed, glory, fame and fortune are a young girl's game in Hollywood, which is riddled with stereotypes of beauty and youth. This emotional and moving song is a dedication to those who have taken their lives over the years in Hollywood and elsewhere due to societal pressures to retain their youth, beauty and fame.   On November 22, 2025,  this song hit No. 4 on the Euro Indie Music Network chart list. On October 20, 2025 this song hit No. 7 on the World Indie Top 100 Music Chart list. On December 4, 2025 hit No. 21 on the US Top 20 Show-Weekly Pulse of Music.

HEAVEN IN PARADISE (Lyrics)

Meditation Vibration

In this track, we worked with @noxpox21 to explore the theme of teleportation. We imagined what it was like for Rob's character Riven to learn to teleport.

We were heavily inspired by Portal 2's soundtrack.

Thanks for listening to this wild chaotic science experiment of a track. And thank you noxpox for the collaboration!

We made it creative commons and remixable, so feel free to make a noncommercial version of it if you like.

LYRICS:



(Verse 1)
Sun come up again today
Same old trouble in the way
My bones ache my spirit low
Where the good times where they go

(Pre-chorus)
Hear a whisper on the breeze
Something bout a magic ease

[Chorus]
Bethesda Pool oh Bethesda Pool
Washes away the mean and cruel
Bethesda Pool just dip your toe
Watch the bad stuff up and go

(Verse 2)
Walkin slow down to the water
Feelin like a lost old daughter
See the light dance on the green
Best darn sight I ever seen

(Pre-chorus)
Take a breath let out a sigh
No more tears just clear blue sky

(Chorus)
Bethesda Pool oh Bethesda Pool
Washes away the mean and cruel
Bethesda Pool just dip your toe
Watch the bad stuff up and go

Chernobyl On The Moon

Cast of characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and synth
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums and percussion
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- clavinet, VST saxophone solo, VST horns, effects, production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Telecaster HHS electric guitrar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song began back at the beginning of the summer, when Josh was messing around on his electric piano and found a structure to which to add his bass. As soon as he opened the project to the rest of Eclectic Collective, JJ jumped right in, adding his thrilling organ and ethereal background synth. Thus, Josh dropped his original e. piano part in favor of JJ's new parts. Ken was next up, adding the drums in reverse order from how he and Josh usually do it. Ken is very skilled at being able to add drums to a pre-existing bass line, which he displays in here. He also added the clever auxilary percussion you hear throughout. Mark was next to the trough, adding his funky clavinet, as well as his sax solo you hear lighting it up in there. He also added some well composed horns toward the end, not to be confused with JJ's synth. 
  Then it was time for the guitarists to do their thing. Stephen added the strong, melodic solos in the first two breaks with his guitar and wah pedal. After Tez added his thrilling solos at the end, Stephen went back in and added the funky rhythm guitar part. Tez also added the funky guitar riffs throughout the verses.
  All that was left was to get Carl in on the action, as he is the newest core member of Eclectic Collective. He wrote a poem and sung it in his signature, wild style for us.
  This is Eclectic Collective at its almost full strength, pulling six musicians from two different continents and four different countries together to create a song. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
   On a side note, this will be Eclectic Collective's last song for two weeks. As most of you know, we release a song every Thursday at midnight. Due to vacation and travel at the end of summer, we'll be skipping  next Friday, the 15th, but should be returning the following Friday, the 22nd. We may also put something out this coming Tuesday, the 12th, so please stay tuned. Can't thank enough those of you who tune in regularly and support us every week. 
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Hey Human
It's official
The get down on fire funk
Future sizzle
All members agree
Gotta collect that love
Then give it back and well, we see
Fuel for that musical party

Initition ceremony
Transcontinental spanking machine
Uh oh it's a musical tri sexual
Try anything that melody mentioning
Do it for the song
We gonna right some wrong
Rolling rhythm unkown
The human touch
The get down

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo

Aw man, I'm feeling back tingle
Lads, go tell Fiona Apple I'm single
Llanspych, nudge PJ Harvey
Jamming that genius soul new wave!

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music
Keep that campfire warm
Ooo Ooo
The get down
Friends don't frown
We got eachother man
Music

Thrust that rush

Flying musical J's
Aw man it's Mike like dunk
Thrust that rush
Sine waved funk
To musical 24
You get a song
Drained 81 now on this floor

The get down
Friends don't frown
We got each-other man
Music, keep that campfire warm
The get down
Love legends loud
Rest in peace good Kobe one
This one's for you
Good G.O.A.T of stun!

The Get Down (Eclectic Collective)

The Missing

Way overdue for something new but I've been living in exile without the usual, albeit modest, setup I'm used to. So this might be pretty rough. And it's full of the usual horror at political realities and way full of schmaltzy velveeta. 

Guitarist note:  I don't have amps at present and was struggling to find a decent direct sound. There is a *free* VST plugin by Neural Amp DSP and online libraries of tone prints, also free, that came to the rescue. Highly recommended.

it's alright for you as long as it's alright
you don't mind what they do in the broad daylight

it never could be you

but you don't see the way you're blinded
they'll never drag you down to the places meant for those

do you feel the color of your soul
when you live with love suspended hiding in a hole
the moment is yours but you don't believe 
you won't believe what lies there ripening 
growing in your mind without you knowing

now it could be you

and as you feel the weight of the binding
you know they're dragging you down to the places meant for those

to liberate the light of every heart and mind
you can say it never paying any price

there's a little part of everyone that knows 
we're only playing separate lives 
till true faith arrives

if there's every gonna be a change 
let it start right here

you know it could be you

It Could Be You

So ~ I wasn't really intending on writing / recording another new song at the moment since I'm attempting to finish a number of other songs for my current project ~~but This One came to me one day in July & I felt compelled & decided to kind of drop everything  & record it, as I was hearing it as the possible song I may tag on as the Final Song of my new project once it is complete to close it out ~~
Would Love to hear any thoughts on it at all ! :-)

GUITARRA

No sé bien cuándo fue
ni cómo ni dónde
nos vimos por primera vez
pero sí que recuerdo, 
siendo niño en el pueblo,
te miraba fijamente
y después de poseerte
mis dedos bajaban y subían
por tus cuerdas que, al tañirlas,
volaban los sonidos
que para mis oídos
eran como música celestial.

Guitarra, fuiste para mí
como un guardián que me resguardó
del miedo que me impedía dormir
en la penumbra de mi habitación.

Guitarra, fuiste para mí
como la hermana que me faltó:
tu compañía me hizo sentir
la sensación de que siempre existió.

Hoy un hombre ya soy
y nada ha cambiado
porque eres mi don y razón:
el azar quiso un día
que entraras en mi vida
para ser, hoy como ayer, mi pasión.

Guitarra, tú eres para mí
como el mejor cuerpo de mujer:
con tu presencia me haces feliz
con tus canciones me das el placer.

Guitarra, tú eres para mi
lo que de niño mi madre fue
lo que hoy en día me anima a vivir
y me prepara para mi vejez.

GUITAR

I don't know exactly when,
or how, or where
we first met,
but I do remember,
as a child in the village,
I gazed at you fixedly,
and after possessing you,
my fingers would go up and down
your strings, which, when I strummed them,
blew forth sounds
that, to my ears,
were like heavenly music.

Guitar, you were to me
like a guardian who protected me
from the fear that kept me from sleeping
in the darkness of my room.

Guitar, you were to me
like the sister I was missing:
your company made me feel
the sensation that you always existed.

Today I am a man,
and nothing has changed,
because you are my gift and reason:
chance willed one day
that you came into my life
to be, today as yesterday, my passion.

Guitar, you are to me
like the best body of a woman:
with your presence you make me happy,
with your songs you give me pleasure.

Guitar, you are to me
what my mother was as a child,
what today encourages me to live
and prepares me for my old age.

Guitarra (dedicada al maestro Jesús Flores Guitarrista)

No one knows what they’re doing
Don’t believe everything you think
Some things aren’t worth pursuing
Don’t believe everything you think
Feelings aren’t facts
They’re weapons of mass distraction
Holding on won’t change the past
You can win the game by not playing
Complaining won’t change the past
You can win the game by not playing
Don’t believe everything you think
No one knows what they’re doing
Don’t believe everything you think
Some things aren’t worth pursuing
Don’t believe everything you think
If everything around you is darkness, you may be the light
If everything around you is darkness, you may be the light
If everything around you is darkness, you may be the light

Don't Believe Everything You Think

This Empty World 

It is hard to escape the unrest in the world at the moment, horrific picture of  starving children, millions dying in wars, Psychopaths running countries and threatening nuclear war if they don’t get what they want. Very frightening times. 

All of this is having a profound effect on me and I am sure on a lot of normal people and I wonder, do these So called leaders have any idea of the effect all of these bombs going off and exhaust from tanks and jets is having on our Atmosphere ? what would happen to humanity if they actually did press that Nuclear button?  Armageddon would be released followed by disease and mother earth would fight back. 

With this as a mental backdrop, I had an idea for a song about the last human being left alive on Earth after such an event. There would have to be a “ Last man standing “  A bitter sweet experience to have survived nuclear wars, pandemic after pandemic and the death of life on the planet but to be All alone in this empty world. I had the music but not the lyrics. I sent off what I had to my Friend and musical collaborator Finn Eces and what you are about to hear is the amazing result.

Thank you Finn for the Lyrics, such top class vocals and harmonies and a Class mix and professional Production .

This Empty World 

In the stone dead mist there stands the world's last man 
In his stone cold fist holds the world’s last plan 
Now the skies don’t speak  and silent oceans wreak 
not another soul to seek in this empty world 

In this empty world, This empty world  

In the silent streets was heard, a weak heartbeat 
Will our own disease be our last defeat ? 
Mother earth is ill  and her breath grows still 
Just one more grave to fill this empty world 

This empty world
This empty world  

Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone see ? 
Does anyone hear ? 
I don’t what to the be the last 

This empty world,
this empty world  
In this Empty World, 
this Empty World


Chorus
Is there anyone here to remember me ? 
Is there anyone here to recall ? 
Does anyone live ? 
Does anyone breath ? 
Lights went out and now the darkness reigns 
In this empty world in this empty world

This Empty world ( Featuring Finn Eces )

SUCH IS LIFE

Se me tranco no meu quarto
À procura de uma resposta
Escrevo numa carta amassada
O que aconteceu
Os motivos são certos
Eles são concretos
Mas não se completam
Porque minha cabeça agora não deixa
Não deixa não
Eu não estou afim!

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Nem tudo que tenho
É suficiente, é correspondente
Evito o princípio
Quero o sacrifício
A chave joguei fora
Só vou sair
Quando conseguir
Tirar você
De mim

Vai te embora daqui
Não vê que a porta está 
Trancada e eu não quero
Que você apareça

Ruim, ruim, ruim!
Pensamento Ruim

Hey! Pensamento Ruim!
Eu não sou assim!

Todas as chances que busquei
Todas as causas que ganhei

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Todas as vezes que eu chorei
Todas as vezes que meus sonhos foram apenas vindos
Todas as letras que lhe dei
Todas as frases formadas, juntos

E é só você que me importa
Nem o ar profundo me leva tão a fundo
E é só você que me importa
Sob esse sol nascem flores e amores
Um caminho

Um Caminho

Song from the rock opera Five Thousand Sasquatch

The Phenomena Of Triangulation

Songster version was a little ‘copla’ about not being able to be with, nor without, a loved person.  As usual, I’ve ‘upgraded’ it, process from which you only get the final result, normally. 

But, following lyrics’ contradictions, I not only serve parts with different levels of (dis)order in heavy rock - flamenco sauce, but raw vs very cooked parts as well, starting with the improvised phone recording of the very first idea I had to develop the song, so please excuse my failures and noises.

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)  /  I know where you're coming from (Don’t you leave again)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pena,        /  when you come with that sweet sad face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes llorando sin que te duela,     /  when you come crying without any pain,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando dices que quieres hablar conmigo,  /  when you say that you want to talk to me,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando quieres estar al lado mío,                /  when you want to be by my side,

te veo venir (x3)                                           /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir,                                                 /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa carita de pilla,          /  when you come with that sweet sly face,
te veo venir,                                                  /  I know where you're coming from,
cuando vienes con esa sonrisa, chiquilla,    /  when you come with that smile, little girl,

te veo venir (x3)                                            /  I know where you're coming from, (x3)

Te veo venir (No te vuelvas a ir)

Oldest story in the world: What happens when couples, friends, or family take each other for granted. Cherish and nurture your relationships with those you love dearly. Don't take them for granted and don't forget to let them know just how much you love them every day......while you still can. Yeah, bit of a Bummer song, but  inspiration so often found 'there', too. ;) Kept everything pretty straightforward, simple on this Re-Recorded, ReMiXed 'storyteller' song, originally crafted many years ago. Vocals, guitar, and production - Riff Beach-RiffWerx 2017.

Years of Love © > Original - Riff Beach - RiffWerx © 
The sky last night was angry red
Lots of things we shouldn’t have said
Are you ready for bed tonight?
Are we headed to another fight?
Empty promises and a broken heart
Make it hard for a brand new start
So much love gone so fast
Can’t go forward and live the past
Chorus
Years of Love in ruin today
We both know I made it that way
So much loss and a lotta’ pain
Can we ever do it all again?
One more time and we will try
No more tears left to cry
Can’t seem to find a smile
Can I hold you for a little while?
(Back to Chorus)

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement. If you listen and leave a comment I always try to listen to *your* music when responding! If you follow at random without any feedback I hope you get something out of that too... ; )

It Could Be You
