Omakalapua

Last Breath (a requiem)

Lead and Background Vocals-John Diaz (johnnytunes)
Guitars,Bass, Drums, Keyboards-Hiroshi Kohno (aerogene070)
For those who have previously commented on the earlier track, thank you, but I had to delete it to make room for this one!  Enjoy!

Have A Cigar-John and Hiroshi(Pink Floyd Cover)

Hiroshi Khono- @aerogene  played all instruments and production/engineering
John Diaz- johnnytunes - vocals
After hearing Hiroshi's cover of this with other vocalists(which are amazing,btw!), and it being the first album I bought at 11 years old and being my my gateway to hard rock and melodic metal, I asked if I could take a crack at it. He said yes, and here it is. This one is for me. Full Circle!
Turn it up!!

War Pigs-Sabbath cover with aerogene070  and johnnytunes

My way slower take on this classic Cure tune.

just like heaven- only different(Cure Cover)

someday the words and vocal melodies will come, but until then, enjoy!

Carlos

This kinda just came at me fast and hopefully lyrics/vocal melodies will be soon to follow. Enjoy and Peace to you All!

Passages -

This just came to be ....Such a fun process of figuring out all these synth parts. I realize that its just 3 chords played over and over , but the road to get there was so fulfilling, I don't care. It may stay like this , it may morph into something else, but for now here it is. Aloha and Peace be with You All!

Play for The Little Blue Marble

Dominican Danza - 9 1 16, 11.16 PM

!Aqui esta mi patria

chronic insomnia brought this forth. A 3 stage battle for sleep.

You're Not Sleeping - 9 23 16

Controlled by a Fantasy

Fukushima

Rise

New Year , New Song, mostly anyway...left a few messy things in it. Sorry 'bout the extendo-solo at the end, it's seems I tend to do this on songs that I don't have lyrics/melodies for...guess it's what I'm feeling at the time! Peace to All :)

Then , There's This Reggae Ending...

all music and lyrics by me, re-did the vox, hopefully for the better.
For Jodi....

Of Life

Unfinished project I've been working on and hope to complete soon w/vox etc. not sure of the title as yet but hey, it sounds like we should all find what we'll love and be it! Peace to All .....john

Find What You'll Love

this is the "mellower", instrumental version of my song "Catacombs" from a few years ago, big difference  without all the percussion,heavy guitars and synth.  the melody lines are somewhat different as well as without the vox, my guitar becomes my voice. At least emotionally :) Peace to you All!

Catacombs (mellow instrumental version)

the southern region of Zambia is experiencing the ill effects of climate change. This should be the rainy season and it's not raining and the people who reside there grow their own food (maize) to eat as well as sell. The crops are dead and there will be no harvest. It is very sad. Meanwhile, the countries to the east of them are suffering from the effects of devastating flooding from a cyclone.  This was related to me by my daughter who is in the peace corps there and while looking at the photos she sent,  and reading about the cyclone's wrath ,this came into my head. Peace to you all.

Zambia - 4 2 19

Lyric
Now we come to the part
that's uncomfortable
This is where the ending starts
it's so formidable
Words are useless tools
they can't help now
Tlhe curtain's falling
take your final bow
There's nothing left to say
They say that time heals broken hearts
but I'm all out of time
Darkness steps into the ring
but I'm too tired to fight
Leave me
I don't want to burden you
Love me
is all I've ever asked from you
The days pass by like a bullet train
everyday seems more and more mundane
When I look up to the sky
it won't have mattered if I lived
or died

Nothing Left to Say

Peace to All=Please be kind to each other!

Just Another Day In Wuhan

This is who I am                                                                                                                                                                                                    Use very good headphones for best reproduction or like, really killer speakers !
 This IS my Musical Legacy 
This is my sanctuary in a Cloud.
Peace and Kindness be with you all,
One of my covers was flagged and SC gave me a strike and removed it. For those of you who heard them and commented, Thank You! A lot of work, energy and time goes into what we do, it's sad to not be able to share our versions of works we admire and not ever seek to monetize them in any way. C'est la vie.
