It is more difficult to change what's going around us than to make changes within ourselves. Let's start with the easier of the two?

Everything flows, nothing stands still. - Heraclitus 

I started this song early 2019 for the project Measure Twice.  Bart Yoder helped out by performing the bass part.  

The water recordings in the last two minutes of the song are from the creek on my property "Raccoon Creek". There are two recordings that I cross fade between. These recordings were made with fours years between them because of a construction project of a local bridge. Since the construction the Creek's discharge and velocity of flow has decreased significantly. The first recording was made pre-construction and the second post. The acoustic Doppler current profile of the creek post construction is much less. Our creek is much lower in volume, slower running and gone are the fish I would feed daily. Oh well something you just have to "go with the flow".

Go With The Flow

Truth…
by Anton Etch 2022
- a rough demo from the 'Simple & Strange' series -

Truth comes in flashes
snapshots and ashes
rises like a phoenix
floats to your ceiling
shimmers and hovers
at four in the morning
truth comes in flashes
from fragments forming

Truth appears
it's not excavated
it can't be figured
or cooked or created

Truth emerges
in surprising places
the howling vagrant
and unsafe spaces

Truth isn't born
fully formed
you have to glean it
from shards ‘n storms

Truth waits
It delivers no warning
reveals itself
to those in mourning

Truth doesn't care
who the hell you are
what you drive
pauper or czar

Truth is earned
it can't be bought
you have to want it
more than what you got

Truth comes in flashes
in rags and in patches
the daughter of time
slow as molasses 
or quick as quicksilver
in sparks and splashes
in fragments and facets
in mixes and mashes

Truth is the last
guest at the weddin'
sits at the back
foldin' a napkin

…less in words 
more in actions
never shouts 
ignores the factions

…tip of a hat
tap of a finger
there's truth in
the voice of the singer

Truth in 
the barkin' dog
the wasp sting
the walk in the dark

Truth lurks 
in the shadows
it stalks
your tomorrows

You can try 
forever to avoid it
deny, defy,
or blindfold it

The enemy 
of fantasy
the surrender 
of hope...

...truth is 
no story.
It doesn't need 
glory

Truth comes in flashes
snapshots and ashes
rises like a phoenix
floats to your ceiling
shimmers and hovers
at four in the morning
truth comes in flashes
from fragments forming

We’ve come too far
can’t fall 
or back down 

We find ourselves
Right here
Right now

I’ve got a misperception,
slip in and out of mind

Outside of mind

The truth is here to be revealed
The point is just to be for real

It is what’s here and now to stay
When you've got no more games to play
Are you coming back to reality?
Are you stepping back to reality?

Are you waking up to reality?
There is a true connection
Between everything

We’ve made an art
Of playing
the fool

I’ve found a true connection
The right place at the right time

There’s simply nothing in the way
If you stop pretending to be asleep
We’re all standing on the same stage
Right at this temporal edge of space
Are you coming back to reality?
Are you edging back to reality?
Are you stepping back to reality?
Are you waking up to reality?
There is a true connection
There is a true connection
There is a true connection
Between everything

MY DAYS IN EYDON.
=============================

Second time I collaborate with Peter.

Great musician, exceptional lyricist and masterful social critic. All his work is full of social winks, a memory of something or someone or a beautiful poetry, and you can see it in the link below.

https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040

The first time he was kind enough to give me, on top of music I sent him, wonderful lyrics about my city, in which I feel deeply lucky to live. Do not publish this song as a gift, but you can listen to it in the following link.

https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040/hot-seville-night?si=d574dcbb06ff45648b332f9ffaca4522&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

That's why I decided to finish an unfinished song in December 2015 so that I could describe the town where he lives and return the gift to him.

Thank you Peter for your patience, enthusiasm and dedication.


Lyrics.

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Stones
Spangled with iron
In perpetual denial
Of earthly ticks and tocks
Doing time in village stocks
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... now....

Earth
Soft as the bells
Old hands forged them well
When you can smell the time
And hear the fires shine
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... 
…..............but the whispering …..is mine.....
…...................it's all mine....

A track to enjoy whilst we contemplate the end of the world... A downtempo fusion of Lofi, Chill, Triphop & Dream-pop. Perfect dreamy background music, relaxed, chilled and cool, bluesy & laid back, calming.

Time Again

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs
