M-Radiant Gravity

N-Dispirited Revolution

Just having a bit of nostalgic fun for a song I wrote, during the Pandemic…The complete version is on my featured banner! I think I’ve @ finally reached that age.. where this can be a truism .. both in intended positive.. or unfortunate negative… inspired by MisterMark and his posts of isolated parts… hope you enjoy!🙌🕺🏼🙏

It’s All Downhill From Here-Isolated Vocals and Bass Guitar

Rhythmic drums and hearts collide,
beneath their tartan’s proud disguise.
Each soldier boy, a child inside,
beholds this dawn with hollowed eyes.
The fetor of fear and peat and sweat,
bleeding under the thunder’s moan.
They steel their hearts, lest they forget,
the men they must become.

Before the Battle Begins

november lament - my mother is injured - woe woe unto us

I was going to write a song about a political figure, I won't say the but name I'll use his initials: 
🍊💩🤡.  But i decided he takes up too much space in my brain, and in the world consciousness,  as it is. Withholding people's food as a bargaining tool to take away their healthcare, is just another typical day here in the usa. Anyway, instead I made it  into a breakup song. kind of. I kept the original title
(Rerecorded the vocals and fixed some of the more glaring issues, and it is much easier to listen to now)

In case you forgot, 
Our house is still burning, 
You set it on fire and then you moved on
To the new home you’re wrecking

You think you've won 
Not because you’ve got everything 
But because you’ve got everything that i love
And now I'm easily forgotten

And That's the cruelest thing of all, 
You no longer see me here
And As i need and i bleed and i hurt and i grieve,
And everybody else thinks you're a knight on a steed

But me, I'm not mesmerized
I see right through your disguise
I see how little could you care
I see it all so clear

Do you remember 
the first thing you were taught when you were young
Did they show you how to care, show you how to share
And follow The golden rule

But you turned in to this
someone that doesn’t know what’s right from what is wrong
someone that only causes harm that only leaves you scarred
And suffers no consequence 

But that’s the strangest thing of all
they think you're some kind of hero
And that’s the strangest thing of all
While I'm standing in ashes of that mess you caused

EatTheRich

This is something I've had in mind for a while, and was planning to put it out for Halloween, but I'm really slow.  It's a macabre spoken word thing about a travelling circus that's a little 'off' in dark and unsettling ways that you can't quite put your finger on. Originally I thought it would sound good as an old timey Delta Blues with acoustic guitar accompaniment. But since I can't play, I enlisted the help of a fellow Soundcloud artist whose music I admire, Remnant60 (@remnant60). It just so happened Bill had previously posted a guitar track that he left open for collaboration. I downloaded his track, but it was left on the shelf for a while, until this came along, and I thought it was a perfect fit. 
It kind of borders on the edge of creepy cool and just hokey. But it's a fun bit of storytelling, and I'm grateful to Remnant60 for letting me tinker with his wicked slide guitar track. 
I strongly recommend listening to this with headphones for the full effect. 
Hope you dig it!

LYRICS
A travelling circus creaked into our little town
They set up in Duggart’s field by the old burying ground
A ramshackle lot ‘neath the moonlight’s glare
With their trinkets and their theatre, put on an evening affair

Chorus
From village to village and from town to town
When the circus came they put their stakes deep in the ground
They promised spectacle, laughter and mirth
The travelling circus, the greatest show on Earth

Inside the big top it was crowded and hot
Everyone was kept waiting whether they wanted or not
Something in the tent corner was circled by flies
And I noticed a bruise under the flower girl’s eye

(Chorus)

The horses were skittish when they caught sight of a whip
And a big toothy grin was painted over the clown’s lips
The ringmaster never looks you quite straight in the eye
From the moment you enter he starts waving goodbye

(Chorus)

Travelling Circus (collab with Remnant60)

DANCING WITH THE UNKNOWN PT 2

A worship anthem declaring that even when we can’t see the road ahead, He is still making a way. Rooted in Psalm 37:7–9, this powerful and uplifting praise song reminds us to trust, pray, and move when God says go.
