Original Instrumental: Monkey Parts

Jon shared “Monkey Parts” with me while we were discussing an unreleased track we were working on. Jon’s original track instantly inspired me and the lyrics easily flowed onto the paper (actually I write all my lyrics in Apple Notes, lol) and then into GarageBand (using my Apple headphone mic to everyone who mixes my vocals exasperation). I held onto the unmixed track for a while (really for no good reason besides it wasn’t in the stars’ plan until now) and then finally worked up the urge to “git er done.” 

As for the lyrics, the last time I had anything weed related was probably 11 years ago in California. At that time, all things marijuana were relatively easy to acquire since many of my friends had “doctor’s notes” to go to the medical dispensaries. It was fun to try all the new novel dope products people were making and selling. Since living in Oregon, for over 6 years now, I have not once thought about partaking in the herb, even though I can easily walk to several cannabis stores from my home. I think there are more pot stores in the Portland area than convenient stores, I do not live in a reefer desert, lol. But still, I was inspired to write a song about maryjane.

Lyrics:
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

I was feeling alright my baby
Until you ruined my vibe with crazy
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling alright my people
Until ya’ll ruined my vibe with fecal
Specially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

But I shoulda saw it coming 
Now my Karma’s got me running  
Fruitions always gunning 
This life
Future life 
Past bad acts got me on slumming
Always on the worry 
On what I am becoming

So with my right thumb and my two right fingers 
I set my intention as I’m foldin’ up the papers
Right right right right

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
Interlinked eternally
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling stressed out my baby
And then I lifted my vibe with hazy 
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

When I’m feeling stressed out my people
I gotta lift my vibe pineal
Especially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

Yea some say it’s in the dirt
But It don’t matter when it hits it still hurts
Attracted by ya’ll hertz 
Best to sit still
Keep chill
Let the mind go inert 
Purify ’til the soul reverts

Use my thumbnail to press down and tuck the edges
I set my intention and seal it with some praises 
Right right right right
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
My vibe guides me

Thinkin' Of A Sushi Roll

'rumbustious'

Scotty: lyrics, vocals
Falsestart: everything else

Let me tell you 'bout the day I had.
I woke up feelin' worse than nothin'.
And I still was half in the bag.
I had to burn one down just to function.
Last night, all the fun we had,
it turns out, it amounted to somethin'.
Didn't notice all of the red flags
until my face was made a bag for punchin'. 

Well, I guess that's what you get
when your whistle's wet
and you're not on your own
and your friends bum cigarettes 
from some pimp who's vexed
you've got no interest to get blown. 

Late for work and the boss was mad,
indicatin' that I smelt of somethin'.
She voiced concerns that my eyes were both black
and that my overall look was disgustin'.
After that, she took a step back,
turned and said, 'Forget about punchin'
in today.' Well, hooray, I'm glad.
Still, the bills pile and bend me for fuckin'. 

Well, I'm sittin' at home
and I'm scratching my dome
'cause I just don't quite know what to do.
So, I'm singing my song.
Surely it won't be long
until they start charging us for that, too.
Oh, wait, they do!

Can’t help falling in love (acoustic guitar)

When I was young I played beneath a big old Lilac tree that was in my grandmothers garden and I felt safe when I was hidden in under the branches surrounded by the beautiful purple flowers and the pungent aroma of the Lilac perfume this was a safe and a happy place for me. This feeling has inspired me to write the Lilac tree and dedicate it to my Grandmother Lilly (Elizabeth) Her husband died very young and left her with 5 young children to bring up  by herself, she was an awesome woman and this song is for her. 

I would like to thank my friend Finn Eces for bringing this song to life with such feeling and beauty. Finn is an awesome producer and a truly amazing vocalist and Musician and a great songwriter. Thank you Finn for this truly beautiful Lilac Tree.

 A very big thank you to Doina Bora who's amazing playing has added immensely to the feel of the song. Thank you so much.

Baby Don't Cry

This is just a short experimental piece recording my acoustic guitar.
I've never been happy with the sound of acoustic guitars plugged in direct. 
I sometimes record my ideas using the internal recorder on my phone, and this is what you're hearing.
I recorded the acoustic guitar on my phone then transferred the file into my DAW and EQ'd etc in my DAW. I'm quite happy with the sound.
The cover picture is my Faith Mercury acoustic guitar that I used. 

Fond Memories

Dear friends,
Goodness must not tire because then evil wins!

They Wait

They are waiting for that tomorrow will be a brighter day
They wish that the daybreak shall be quiet - all days
These small kids are alone and they long for the day when their parents come
to bring them back to their home town
where all of them feel that they are safe

The situation has become worse than it ever has been
and we people in the world must react - all days
we must tell the world leaders that this is no way to rule the world
the future should change direction
to a brighter society for us all

As I understand there are only few
with minds that are distroying the life - on earth
are they filled up with hatred or is it a gread for power
it should not be so hard to change their minds
and thus they may enter paradise

They Wait

Tell me the past and I will know the future.

Confucius (551 - 479 BC), Latinized name for Kongfuzi, K'ung-fu-tzu, "Master Kong", actually Kong Qiu, K'ung Ch'iu, Chinese philosopher

The Past Of The Future

This is a song about someone in a relationship at the end of their tether that resort to getting comfort in someone else's arms. Written by Andrew Schisas aka SKEEZAS 

Lost and Alone

Velvet Garden Puerto Rico Edit

Hi, My name is Johnny Mc Farlane, I am an Indie songwriter from Ireland. I write, play, produce and distribute my own music. I try to write songs that will mean something to whoever may be listening. I try to express feeling and emotions through my music, I try to hit the heart and soul of whoever may be listening and to pass on my feelings through my lyrics and my music. A lot of the songs I write come from Personal experiences, some are pure imagination, but all try to carry a message of Hope, Fait, understanding and a spiritual message of love. I am just one voice in the wilderness but together we are stronger. Thank you so much for listening to my music. It’s a real honour.
