Kitchen Sink

2nd track off Wheels in an Elsewhere, released 28/8/25.
Closer in and down to earth after the 1st track.

Mama I'm tired of the looks and the rush
The clamouring that goes on around me
Cameras glinting
Frontwards view
And see how close you can get
Mama cant you make them stop

Take me away
To a place on my own
Could be far away
Anywhere no one knows

Papa, that's a piece of my mind
That I gave when they told me
She's only
A young thing
Doubts and she's fake
Close-ups double takes
I bet she never made a mark
Papa can you show me out
Papa can you show me out

Take me away
To a place on my own
Could be far away
Anywhere no one knows

Look at the sky tonight
Look at the sky tonight
So far away from here
I could disappear

Princess's Lament

This song is a title track of my 20th single PLAY LOUDER. The genres are Alternative rock / Lo-Fi / J-ROCK. The moods are Happy / Motivational / Upbeat. The style is Experimental. The category is Happy & Upbeat. I wrote and recorded this alone in my room with a guitar, a synth, a mic and a PC in 2017. Bass by synth. This song was created when I was performing live alone in Nagoya and I decided to release this now to recapture the hungry spirit I had then. Cover art and MV by myself. This features Japanese lyrics, reggae-inspired vocals, Lo-fi and experimental sound design. The composition, the arrangement and the production were heavily influenced by Beck especially ODELAY. The vocal style was heavily influenced by Sting. The lyric video is out on YouTube now. You can listen to this song on major platforms. Link in bio and here :  https://linkco.re/pupVNqrc

PLAY LOUDER

note: a beefed up shitty spontaneous phone recording with a layered secondary vocal. 

I'm not myself. 
I'm not well.
I don't cry wolf.
I'm in hell.
Since what happened,
my mind dwells,
I can't relax, and
my eyes well
up with tears.
Nothing's clear.
Can't shift gears.
Filled with fears,
and for longing
for your touch.
No more wronging. 
Let's save this love.

Arise

Mortal coil
Struggle toil   
Desire bound 
Awaken this dreary dream
In the light be found

Abandoning all illusions 
The cycle is revealed
Destroyer of space and time

Like a seed

Arise
Arise

This is the dawning of a new age
Clean and pure as morning dew
If you can see then you’ll be ok
To yourself be true
To yourself be true

Solo

Come ring the bell
And close the book
Snuff out the candle
Be free from the hook

Cradle grave
Noble slave
It matters not
Awaken this dreary dream
Remember all forgot

Beyond joy and suffering
Past impermanence
Let go of ego

Like a seed

Arise
Arise

This is the dawning of a new age
Clean and pure as morning dew
If you can see then you’ll be ok
To yourself be true
To yourself be true
To yourself be true

Arise

Are We Nearly There
By This Sound Society
(Fox & Brownie )

V1
Tomorrow’s problem I’m drinking today
I know you get me in every way
The mood is lifted the clouds have shifted
And just for today let it be gifted
Perfection would be great
I will settle for fantastic
They can keep Carriages horses king’s
And all of those castles
And yesterday can keep all of our troubles &. hassles

Chorus
Are we nearly there yet
Cause this journey far to long
Are we nearly there yet
Cause I need somewhere to belong
Somewhere where I feel strong
Somewhere where the light shines
Somewhere where you are mine
Just Somewhere lost in time

V2
A rendezvous with destiny
So why doesn’t it feel so heavenly
Are we running away
Our running towards something else today
Can you feel the shift baby
Cause it’s taking a grip
You don’t need your eyes
To see the chemistry
Someone for someone else
Someone else for somebody

Chorus to finish…..,

Are we nearly there

Cast of Characters:
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh –Collings mandolin, upright double bass, and harmony vocals
Paul Young — Taylor acoustic guitar and lead vocals
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – electric slide guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken — drums 
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Earle Scruggs custom banjo, production, mix, and mastering
This is a traditional bluegrass song, and is within the bluegrass cannon, is part of the Sunday morning category. Traditional bluegrass can be put in either the Saturday night or the Sunday morning category. Saturday night songs are mostly about heartbreak or true love, while the later category includes all the gospel bluegrass. Josh's cousin, Paul, who is in his mid-thirties, is a phenomenal bluegrass guitar flat-picker, who knows a bunch of songs, and can sing them all, too. Josh and he have been playing bluegrass together for decades, and their chemistry is about as good as it gets.  
  Paul came over to Josh's house for Thanksgiving this year, having moved back to Pittsburgh not so long ago. They recorded their after dinner jam session, and this was one of the songs they did, as Paul led it.
  Josh was very excited to share what he and his cousin had done with the group, too, of course. He added the upright bass part before turning it over to Eclectic Collective to add their magic to it, as well. 
  Chris hopped on first, adding that delightful, ethereal slide you hear throughout. Ken jumped on next, skillfuly adding his drums to the second section. That left Stephen with the task of not only adding his colorful banjo, but mixing and producing it for us expertly, as well.  
  This was a song that just jumped out during a jam session, but had bigger plans in life. There will be more bluegrass to come, too, as Josh plans to release a new one every Monday night for the next few weeks. So, stay tuned! We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
  On a personal note, this is Josh's 200th song on SoundCloud. Which means he's been on here for almost four years now. He couldn't be more grateful to all the folks who take a couple minutes and listen to his songs, or more excited to keep the music flowing with Eclectic Collective, too!

Harbor of Love (Eclectic Collective with Paul Young)

When Axel sent me this beautiful lyrics and music, and asked me if I would collaborate on this beautiful song, there was no doubt in my mind. What a song!  I feel very honored to be able to participate in this beauty.
He also made this wonderful cover image.

Thank you so much, Axel!

Still Somehow

I don’t look for you anymore,
but sometimes I still feel you near.
In little things — a word, a song,
the way the air gets soft this time of year.
It doesn’t hurt, not really —
it just reminds me we were real.

I´ve learned to live with empty rooms,
to leave the light on just in case.
I tell myself I’ve closed that door,
but some nights I still see your face.

It fades before I call your name,
but not before I feel the same.

Still somehow,
you live inside the quiet.
Still somehow,
your name feels like home.
We let it go,
we both moved on —
but love like ours
doesn’t really go.
I met someone, he’s kind and calm,
he laughs like you, but not as free.
And when he holds me close at night,
sometimes I wish that you could see —
not out of longing, just because
you’d understand what that still does.

I tell my friends I’m fine these days,
they never ask too much of me.
But when the rain hits hard at night,
I find your ghost in melody.
Not haunting — just familiar,
like breathing in old light.

Still somehow
you live inside the quiet.
Still somehow,
you never really fade.
It’s not a wound,
it’s not regret —
it’s love that stayed
where words forget.

I thought we’d end.
I thought I’d heal.
But some things time
just doesn’t steal.
I wouldn’t change it,
I wouldn’t try.
We said goodbye —
but not inside.

Still somehow,
after all this time,
you’re part of every quiet rhyme.
We let it go,
we learned to stay —
but still somehow

we love that way

Still Somehow

It’s all in the way
That you move across the room
The games that you will play
As you bathe in the light of the moon

See the message on my face 
And lines you will trace 
this burden of mine
Read the writing on the wall
As pages will fall
one at a time

Climbing the stairs 
to my heart, you stoke the flame in me
feelin’ your white hot heat
On the edge of where we should be

See the look upon my face
the scars you’ll erase
the burden of mine
Read the writing on the wall
As the pages will fall
one at a time

See the message on my face 
And lines you will trace 
this burden of mine
Read the writing on the wall
As the pages will fall
one at a time

One at a Time

You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory...one of the best song titles ever and one of Johnny's best songs.... from his 1978 solo album So Alone

 I stole that line  and his identifiable little Dsus riff for my tune about the past and his song that inspired it.

Johnny has been gone more than three decades now.. He had a serious heroin addiction which essentially destroyed his career and ended his life at the young age of 38 . He died alone in a hotel room  in New Orleans in April 1991.
He had a RnR swagger and style and I've always liked his energetic  loud guitar
there is none of that here mind you..this tune, it's all cheesy melancholic blather  with some simple piano and Midi cello with a sprinkle of  accordian


I just learned  that the  title of his song came from an  episode of the 50s sitcom the Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason spouting off to his TV wife Audrey Meadows that line ...Johnny like me found inspiration in TV...

here's a link to that song of his if you don't know it

https://youtu.be/TknY89kECq0?si=SUbl3fAHhnpiYqzn



Just Like Johnny Thunders

You can't put your arms around a memory
I love that line, almost divine
Such a great song
When I first heard Thunders play it, I was 17
I hadn't lived the life to know where it came from

We used to share a certain kind of chemistry 
Lovers fire, teenage desire 
It went so wrong
His song, welI I still play it, though I'm pushing 70
Brings me back to a place from where we have moved on

I stole a Johnny Thunders song to sing to remember you
Cause I couldn't find the proper words to say
Yeah just like Johnny Thunders 
You are gone, gone, gone
Heartbreaker, you made your getaway

You can't put your arms around a memory 
Johnny was one, a sensitive son
He went astray 
You and I, we both made it to the other end of this life
Another world, a different path we walk these days

I stole this Johnny Thunders song to sing to salute you dear
I'm sure you wouldn't want it any other way 
Just like Johnny Thunders 
One day I'll be gone, gone, gone
Heartbreaker, I'll make my getaway
Just like Johnny Thunders
We'll be gone, gone, gone
Heartbreakers we'll make our getaway 

words and music  HotR/ John Genzale
