Another rough mix - and no Bass as yet.  Enjoy. Guitars, Synths, Mouth Organ, Sonic 'canvass' - Jeff Jinx. :)

CURIOUS AND CRAZED - "She’s gazing at Stars, Curious and crazed,
Out to get someone, In her natural disguise, Dollars in her eyes,  Gifting everyone.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Your name escapes me, It will frustrate me, Did you make me? And - at leisure? Did you break me?  In a fragile moment, Did I seal your torment?  Did you shatter? To the wail of endless laughter?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Still gazing at Stars, Curious and crazed, Has to be someone, In her latest disguise, Status in her eyes, Going to be someone. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Fill my emptiness, You can second guess, You can hear my prayers,
You have got my face, You have got my fame, You have got - things I can't explain,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Got her map to the Stars, She will soon be home, Curious and crazed,
She’ll be waiting inside, In a new disguise, Waiting for someone. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You have led me here, You have caused my fear, You have cost me dear, You have been my guide, Can’t brush me aside, I can take your life.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
She’s gazing at Stars, Curious and crazed, Out to get someone, In her natural disguise, Dollars in her eyes, Gifting everyone.

Curious and Crazed - Jeff Jinx

Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!

Don't let bias blind us to hypocrisy, regardless of the source of that hypocrisy! Being on the right side of history involves NEVER bending the truth to our will!

Just getting started....

THE CHAIN TUNES PROJECT (collective band name: THE CHAIN TUNES GANG)

BASED ON THE CHAIN LETTERS PRINCIPLE

A musician lays down an initial track and forwards ti to several musicians, they each add a second track and forward it to several more, and so on.

A universal format, like Cubase, would help, as it would mean the whole folder for each song could be sent to the next musician in the chain.

Each step of the process would also need to be sent back to me, so I can keep a record of it all, including details about each musician involved, their links and an email address, so you would also need to forward, to each participating musician, my email address together with the song files.

IF YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO BE INVOLVED, SEND ME A MESSAGE TOGETHER WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS. I HAVE A CHAIN TUNES PAGE ON HERE AND ON REVERBNATION, WHERE TUNES BEING USED IN THE PROJECT WILL BE POSTED, AND AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD.

I will give more detailed instructions to musicians who sign up.

THIS IS A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO COLLABORATING, RESULTING IN MULTIPLE VARIATIONS ON A THEME. THIS TYPE OF COLLABORATING HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE—I KNOW THAT FOR CERTAIN—SO MUSICIANS THAT SIGN ON TO THIS PROJECT WOULD BE INVOLVED IN SOMETHING GROUNDBREAKING, AND SOMETHING THAT IS SURE TO GRAB THE ATTENTION OF THE MEDIA, AS LONG AS EVERYONE INVOLVED TAGS ANY TUNE THEY UPLOAD TO ANY PERSONAL PAGE IS ALWAYS TAGGED AS A CHAIN TUNES GANG collaboration.

For many of us, this could be the stepping stone we are looking for; a simple concept so revolutionary that it could put us on the map, setting world records along the way, but the important factor, which would be the difference between grabbing the public's attention and not grabbing it, is sticking to using THE CHAIN TUNES GANG collaboration name whenever completed and uploaded, wherever they happen to be uploaded.

So think about the underlying concept here; it is a simple one, but that's what makes it brilliant!  ALL TUNES ON THIS PAGE ARE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD TO ANYONE THAT WANTS TO PARTICIPATE! 

Exchanging feedback is the best way to support one another, while at the same time keeping showcase sites like Soundcloud alive; if we are not proactive these sites will eventually become inactive, impotent, leaving us with nowhere to showcase our music!

How do feel about us gathering proactive musicians, those who understand the value of swapping MEANINGFUL support, actual listens, constructive feedback, sharing posts on X, Facebook, etc., into a community called THE FEEDBACK FAMILY, which would include playlists made up of those musicians who sign on to the project—want be part of it?

Anyone seeking authenticity, imagination & personality, in creativity should explore unsigned music; that's where my faith in the future of music lies!

UNSIGNED MUSIC isn't inferior to SIGNED by any stretch of the imagination! Look past the illusion, find out what you're missing!
>
Some Soundcloud musicians receive tens of thousands of listens, and more power to them, but spare a thought for those of us who struggle to reach double figures; it isn’t always because our tunes are inferior!

Don't let the MUSIC INDUSTRY FOOL YOU, the best tunes around today are #UNSIGNED, #INDEPENDENT & #UNDERGROUND!
>
UNDERGROUND MUSIC IS ABOUT DOING IT YOUR WAY!
> 
Don't let anyone tell you what music to make or how to make it...JUST MAKE IT! 
>

Why swap support, swap genuine listens, feedback and shares?

We are all competing with tens of millions of musicians; to say it’s overcrowded out there is a huge understatement, and it’s that overcrowding that makes it so difficult to reach an audience—it’s exactly like searching for a needle in a haystack, and who has the time to do that!

That’s why the support of other musicians is so important, that’s why the respect, the hype, the acknowledgement must start with us! When we are so dismissive of each other’s talent, why should a listening audience treat us any differently!   

When we disrespect, dismiss and shun each other’s talent and music, what we are saying to the world is, we don’t waste our time listening to the tunes of unsigned and independent musicians because they are inferior to those signed, established, musicians—it’s negative advertising!

If we are to have any chance of breaking the stranglehold of a mercenary music industry, if we are to have any chance of convincing a potential audience that our music is , more than not, actually superior to signed music, more inventive, more innovative, more creative, more imaginative, and a whole lot less formulaic!

Music has come a long way, it’s never been so diverse, so it’s ridiculous that people are forced to listen to formula conveyor belt music, high on production, low on substance! Listeners have no idea they are being spoon-fed scrag ends; they belief the myth that signed means superior—well I’ve heard enough unsigned music to know that just ain’t true….but we’re never going to prove that as long as we continue to treat each other’s music as though it were worthless! @MusiciansWithVision


DON'T WAIT FOR THE MOUNTAIN TO COME TO YOU....IT DIDN'T COME TO  MUHAMMAD SO IT WON'T COME TO YOU :)

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24

I love the sounds of the 60s and 70s especially. I try to write songs that I would enjoy listening to myself. It’s the only gauge I have. My songs are just the sum total of all my positive listening experiences. I'll let you try to guess who they are!
