FLOATING HAPPILY ALONG UNKNOWN ROADS

BEEN MINE.mp3

Every wee boy wants to be James Bond. lol 

Suit made of plaid , tuxedo man
Looking oh so grand
Got that crooked smile
Walkin' down the aisle

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

He sips his sparkling wine
Pretends everything is fine
But his eyes they tell a tale
A lonely windy wail

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

Maybe he's a spy a secret agent man
Maybe he's just shy part of a bigger plan
We may never know the truth beneath the seams
Just a man in tartan living out his dreams

What's he hiding
What's inside him
Tartan tuxedo
Is it for show

INCIDENTE A MEDIANOCHE

Voy a contaros amigos una historia
que sucedió un domingo de febrero
en medio de una noche oscura y fría
que poco a poco calaba hasta los huesos.

El incidente comienza en el pueblo
cuando después de haber pasado el domingo
al lado de la mujer de tus sueños
regresábamos al “tajo” cuatro amigos.

Íbamos felices y contentos
pues nuestro carro corría muy veloz
“te estás portando como un señor”
le decía Octavio que era el conductor.

Pero de pronto en medio del camino
y tras un extraño ruido en el motor
fue perdiendo fuerza nuestro utilitario
y, sin pensarlo, el frenazo de rigor
pues sin duda alguna había sucedido
algo importante y no tenía solución.

Cuando el coche estuvo ya parado
se abrió el capó para ver lo acaecido
vimos que el radiador se había rajado
y todo el agua habíamos perdido.

Lo que entonces pasó no os lo canto...
perdí el control y también mis compañeros:
recuerdo cuatro lenguas a destajo
despotricando como unos carreteros.

Cuando todo esto fue menguando
y a nuestro temple volvía el color
“no preocuparse, se hará autostop”
afirmó Domingo con determinación.

Pero con las “pintas que nos cantaban”
uno con las barbas y otro de militar
los otros dos hasta el moño manchados de grasa
¡así quién diablos nos iba a parar!
pero allá a las cuatro de la madrugada
un rezagado paró al ver al militar.

Pero cuando vio la “compañía”
con toda prisa se quiso echar atrás
“no le dé miedo, son de fiar”
exclamó Pepucho con gran serenidad.

Con insistencia logró convencerlo
de que nos dejara a los cuatro subir
pues aunque le resultara difícil creerlo
no éramos quinquis o gente de mal vivir.
Y si todo el lío quería saberlo
le prometía que no le iba a mentir.

Todo está visto muy por encima
porque la historia no es fácil de contar
pues estas cosas “pa” verlas ¡hay que vivirlas!
y entonces es cuando se puede opinar
por más que parezca un relato de risa
aquella noche jamás se nos olvidará.

MIDNIGHT INCIDENT

I'm going to tell you, friends, a story
that happened one Sunday in February
in the middle of a dark and cold night
that slowly chilled to the bone.

The incident begins in the village
when, after spending Sunday
with the woman of your dreams,
four friends were returning to work.

We were happy and content
because our car was going very fast
"You're behaving like a gentleman,"
Octavio, the driver, told her.

But suddenly, in the middle of the road
and after a strange noise from the engine
our car began to lose power
and, without thinking, we slammed on the brakes
because without a doubt something important had happened
and there was no solution.

When the car was finally stopped,
we opened the hood to see what had happened
we saw that the radiator had cracked
and we had lost all the water.

I won't tell you what happened then...
I lost control, and so did my companions:
I remember four tongues blaring out loud
ranting like cart drivers.

When all this was fading
and our temper was returning
"Don't worry, he'll hitchhike,"
said Domingo determinedly.

But with the "looks they were giving us,"
one with a beard and the other a soldier
the other two covered in grease up to their necks
who the hell was going to stop us!
But around four in the morning
a straggler stopped when he saw the soldier.

But when he saw the "company,"
he hurriedly wanted to back out
"Don't be afraid, they're trustworthy,"
exclaimed Pepucho with great serenity.

With persistence, he managed to convince him
to let the four of us get on,
because, although it was hard for him to believe,
we weren't quinquis or lowlifes. And if he wanted to know the whole mess,
I promised him I wouldn't lie.

Incidente a medianoche AC

Being in an unsafe environment.

I wrote this song with mixed feelings: one part of me wanted to express how I felt, the other part of me thought this was a really bad idea. Being in an abusive situation (both physical and emotional) can be very confusing. You start to think that it's your fault, that you deserved it, that it's normal, especially if that is what you're being told. You start to behave exactly as is expected of you, paying attention to all the rules, hoping you don't provoke anything. In the meantime, you're losing yourself bit by bit.
It's also confusing since it can go on for years without anyone else noticing it. If no one questions the other person(s), if no one tells you or them that what they're doing is wrong, it's hard to see the truth.
But I'm seeing the truth now and I think it's time to speak up, even though I'm terrified.

Lyrics

[Intro]

I’m not sure if this is a good idea
Some things are better left unsaid
Considering your responses
To other, less serious, situations

But my anxiety is suffocating me
And I need to breathe
Now I know how I got to this point…
It’s just somewhere I never wanna be again

I need to do things differently
Or I’ll never be able to be myself
I’ll never be able to live
So, here goes nothing…

[Song]

I’m so terrified
For just saying what’s on my mind
I feel your words, they cut right through me
Feeling far worse than I should be

I’m so terrified
I need to run, I need to hide
From all your rage, it’s getting to me
You’re destructive, why can’t you see?

Maybe it’s time you see (x3)
Maybe it’s time they see

Maybe it’s time you see (x4)
Maybe it’s time they see

Acting loving, acting caring
Acting like you are supportive
So committed, so empathic
Acting when we’re not alone
(x3)

Acting loving, acting caring
Acting like you are supportive
So committed, so empathic
Acting till we’re all alone

Till we’re all alone (x9)

And here come the responses
(Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out)
Here come the responses
(Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out)
And here come the responses
(Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out)
(x2)

Disproportional
Inappropriate
Not even functional
You’re delusional
(x2)

If I don’t shut up, you will make me shut up
Yeah, you will make it stop
If I dare to speak up, you will make it stop

If I don’t shut up, you will make me shut up
Yeah, you will make it stop
If I dare to speak up, you will

Tell everyone I’ve lost my mind
(You’re right, you’re always right, you’re right)
(You’re right, you’re always right, you’re right)
(x2)
 
Take cover, quick, take cover, watch out
Dodge all the bullets
(x12)

I’m so terrified
For just saying what’s on my mind
So, I distance myself from you
Wish I didn’t, but I have to
I really have to
I really have to

Terrified

Don't worry... be HAPPY! 😄👶

One hut
One two no three

Which way you think i be

I thought you’de notice me

You walked right pass

I guess i’ll leave

Guess i’ll leave

Guess i’ll leave

Like fuck i got ready for this shit

D.O.L.L

What’s that spell

Its the girl 
Make your dick swell

Margaritas
With shrimp cocktails

Pin it up 
Pig tails
I know you like

Glow in the dark
Like creep in the night

No guns needed
We taking a flight

Max on wind
Like freaks in the night

Make some wind
Make it now
Wear it proud
Oh ya ya ya yah

Make some wind
Make it now
Wear it proud
Oh ya ya ya yah

Oh yah yah yah 
Yah yah yah yah
Yah yah yah yah
Yah

(I saw you looking at me ouu)

Oh yah yah yah 
Yah yah yah yah
Yah yah yah yah
Yah

(Why you hiding from me ouu)

Look up jet leg
No pillow

Heavy head
No pun 
No willow

Pussy juice
On cunt

No zillow

Car on cruise
Shes smooth
I chillo

Arch my back
He take away my breath

Look to my right
He turn on the light

No guns needed
We taking a flight

Max on wind
Like freaks in the night

You wanna say you like it

You wanna say you like it

You wanna say you like it

You wanna let it blow

You wanna say you like it

You wanna say you like it

You wanna say you like it

You wanna let it blow

Shuffling
And cuddling

We on the sling we moving
On to better things

We got the right to make a scene
Like coastal scenes

I think you need to
Learn my whole biologies


Make some wind
Make it now
Wear it proud
Oh ya ya ya yah

Make some wind
Make it now
Wear it proud
Oh ya ya ya yah

Oh yah yah yah 
Yah yah yah yah
Yah yah yah yah
Yah

Wind

Hello….. It’s snowing now. I recorded this song in a snowstorm the other day… inside of course. I was working on a folk song. Fingerpicking and traditional lyrics, and as what sometimes happens, I really wasn’t really feeling it. So I cranked things up a bit and here we go. I’ll be 70 years old in a few months, which seems like some sort of milestone. (Better than a tombstone) I started listening to music as a young teenager in the 60’s, when my friend Joe turned me on to a lot of great music, most notably, the Woodstock Album. He’s dead now. I never played an instrument or sung until the late 80’s when plucked my first guitar in Germany. Within the last 15 years, I have been learning about and playing music. (Now’s my chance.) Ha. So this is really Old Timer’s music: Hahahahahahahaha. Hope you like the song and thanks for dropping by. Mark

On The Road Again

This is the first track with me and my dear son together.
He made this beautiful music and mix, I made lyrics and vocals
Thank you so much, EffAy (Fredrik),  you are awesome!
🫶
(Sounds best with ear phones)

I'm  floating on a wave...
Flying in the wind...
I'm dancing to the light...
Breathng the air of life....

Floating

I wrote this to remind myself and others never to give up on what you hope to achieve in this life!

Beaten Not Broken - John Castellain with Anthony Christmas

Taken from my forthcoming e.p Fear of the kingdom ,the great unknown is about getting out there and exploring the planet ,its been a great year of traveling for me and im pleased to finally come back and share the experience of travel with this new psychedelic piece of music
here is the link to the music video i made for the track https://youtu.be/9zPqJkrQFO8?si=ah4Mhhk3qlv-wF7c

the great unknown

Never underestimate the power of dreams.
A good way to find one's own soul.

Wildflower Dreams

The Turning of the Wheel 

And when the words 
Were spoken
The heavens trembled
The silence broken

Earth and sky 
Rejoiced as one
For the Wheel of 
Dhamma had been spun

The devas sang in 
A thousand tongues
The Blessed One 
Has begun

At Sarnath’s plain 
The truth was said
The path to life 
Beyond the dead

No power of god 
Or demon dire
Can halt this Wheel 
Or still its fire

And in the heart 
Of Kondañña bright
The dawn of truth 
Arose that night

He saw with wisdom
Clear and wide
All things that arise 
Shall also subside

The Turning of the Wheel

Opal” by Argyll Music drifts between worlds — a future house and synth pop fusion wrapped in chill EDM textures. Shimmering synths, soft pulsing bass, and dreamy atmospheres create the feeling of slipping into an alternate universe at 3–4 AM when the world is quiet and the soul wanders freely. Released under Sound Vault, this track is perfect for late-night mixes, neon-lit playlists, and cosmic escapism.

Opal

Pisces energy is quiet, not soft.
This track is about the kind of revenge that makes no noise at all.

No arguments.
No closure.
Just absence.

I wrote the lyrics, recorded the vocals and instruments, The emotion is human. The silence is intentional.

If you have ever realised the strongest move is to stop responding, this one is for you.

Pisces - (Hip Hop)

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)
