This is the part of Witches, Junkies, and Weirdos where we slow it down and take a moment to appreciate those around us, the ones that give us a reason to keep on living.  Do You Remember? is a song dedicated to the love of my life, Wendy, and inspired by old 50's doo wop!

Do You Remember?

BBBass

This is a song inspired by a wonderful poem of the same title that I came across on the web recently.  It's written by a guy named Christopher without further information (not me though).   I eventually took the liberty & converted it into a song.  I gave it a bit of a country feel and hope you would enjoy listening.

[LYRICS]
She looks into air, herself falling rain
Dripping coldness past, memories old pain.
Drops fall, the puddling her damp water-life.
Spiraling a mirror, self-lonely strife.

Clouds a-whorl, dark sky sheltering fair heart.
But how can she joy, while taking no part?
Covering cold soul, corona of defense.
Defying the stab of her fate's intents.

This is madness, she thinks in plaintive cry.
I'm here, on the cusp, of lay down and die.
What my destiny, but an empty-off dream?
A plaything with which gods and angels scheme.

Am I doomed then to live, time never-free?
Subsumed wholly 'neath life's scattered debris?
Is justice outside this torrential doubt?
Perhaps more than sorrow,  painful fall-out?

Instrumental break

Personal paradise, which I can own,
Evoking happiness, hither unknown?
She raises from streets of lonely no more.
Light slicing through darkness, hopes washed ashore.

Her withered gait now straightening with pride.
She glides like an angel 'cross future's tide.
Caressing the ground, sing the beat of her heart.
Into the sun seeking love's brand new start.

Rust & Bones – Fetchflix TV Series – Miss Scarlett

soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/rust-bones-new-tv-series-1

The voluptuous, sexy and very beautiful Miss Scarlett Page-Turner, commonly called “Miss Scarlett”, is the daughter of Ronny Page, flutist of the not so famous rock group "Led Vanillin", and Hazel Turner, full time pimp in her neighborhood brothel called “The Nuts”. Since Miss Scarlett Page-Turner was working for her mother as a call girl, she was assigned classy customers such as Dick Boneman. It did not take long for Mr. Boneman to understand how the big selling potential of Miss Scarlett would help his business. Mr. Boneman offered her a job in the sales department of Boneman & Sacks Relic Asset Management Inc. and she became sales rep for the North American Catholic market where she was meeting Bishops and Cardinals to sell them holly relics. The secret of her success was obviously the spicy extras she was offering during the sales meeting. Eventually, sales started to go low when Bishops and Cardinals where too busy dealing with sexual abuses scandals from their priests and having to hide them. Miss Scarlett lost her job as a sales rep and started a new career as novel writer. Her first and only novel “The  Bishops Secret Jewels” was a total success. Indeed, this novel was a real page turner. It was based on the unorthodox meetings she had with Bishops and Cardinals, which later were disclosed by journalist on the news. Could being laid-off by Mr. Boneman be a good reason to kill him? Naaaaah, she became his full time sexy mistress and his partner in crime for much worst sins.

Musical Note:
The double bass line at the beginning is based on the bass line of the “Lady Marmalade” song written by Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan in 1974. The “Lady Marmalade” song is well known for its suggestive lyrics that you probably know very well. I was also vaguely inspired by the song “Scarlet” recorded in 1974 by the English rock band the “Rolling Stones” featuring guitarist Jimmy Page of the “Led Zeppelin” rock band.

I like to do these jams after staying up all night.  They tend to be a lot more ferocious that way. Hope ya dig :)

Rekliss

Bach To The Future 10

In the hushed serenity of winter's embrace, the ethereal melodies of the Melody of Broken Cake Plates gently weave a tapestry of mellow, soft, and melancholic snow songs. Born from a deep connection to the quiet beauty of winter landscapes, the Melody of Broken Cake Plates's music captures the essence of snowfall and the delicate dance of frost-kissed moments.

The essence of the Melody of Broken Cake Plates's sound lies in the delicate fusion of acoustic warmth and the crystalline purity of winter's touch. The hauntingly tender compositions invite listeners to immerse themselves in a world where time slows down, and every note is a snowflake gently settling on the soul.

It Is Me, Snowfall

Johann Theodor ist ein österreichischer Sänger und Liedermacher. 

Sein musikalisches Werk ist geprägt von verschiedensten Einflüssen. Eingängige Rythmen und Melodien treffen auf sozialkritische Mundart-Texte. 

Seit 2003 gab es mehrere Anläufe für ein Mundart-Solo-Projekt welches durch musikalische Umwege in verschiedensten Band-Projekten immer wieder ruhen blieb. 

Ab 2021 wurden bestehende und neue Titel für ein ganzes Album ausgearbeitet. Aufgrund der erfolglosen Suche nach Mitmusikern nahm Johann Theodor die Instrumente schlussendlich selbst in die Hand und spielte im hauseigenen Studio Spur für Spur selbst ein. Nachproduziert, abgemischt und auf Lautstärke gebracht durch Stefan Hörersdorfer erhielt die Platte den richtigen Feinschliff und Klang.

Im Herbst 2023 wurde das gleichnamige Album, "Johann Theodor", durch recordjet.com digital auf allen Plattformen veröffentlicht. Das ebenso selbst produzierte Musikvideo zum Titel "danke für nix" wurde zeitgleich auf youtube veröffentlicht.
