What a beautiful song, sweet and nostalgic. I agree with many of your commenters, you sing better and better!

Love your delicate vocals on this Jonathan hit me right in the feels:)

Dreamy,nostalgic and ever hopeful. Lovely work JB. Reminds me a little of what Syd may have done if he hadn't imploded.

Having seconds of this one - it's finely done Jonathon, hits a spot perfectly

wonderful ballad, very good music! A treat to listen!

Hey Jonathan man, I probably already told you this, but you have a couple of melodic hooks in here that are pure magical ear candy. This is an outstanding song, even for your mighty page, my friend. Awesome stuff. Can't get enough!

Hits the spot Jonathan. Like a musical memory of long lost summers and crushes.

Grace

Travel through the midnight hour
On our way back home

The sun and stars our guide
And a prayer in our soul

The Word in our hearts and minds
Everything left behind

We will reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

Nothing here worth clinging to,
All is left behind

When we reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

And as this world crumbles to dust,
Even the sun, moon, and stars,
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done

Parmi les morceaux récents, tous magnifiques, de Larengonat, l'un d'eux, "Dissolution", m'a inspiré un texte;  Larengonat a accepté que je le chante pour  qu'on en fasse ensemble une nouvelle song, intitulée "le temps immobile" :je l'en remercie infiniment
 PAROLES
 Ce n'est pas le temps qui passe
 C'est nous qui passons dans le temps
Comme une comète entre deux âges
Comme une étoile, comme un mirage

Ce n'est pas le temps qui passe
 C'est nous qui passons dans le temps
Tête la première vers les désastres
Que créent nos pouvoirs impuissants
Comme une comète entre deux astres
 C'est nous qui passons dans le temps

Avec nos horloges, nos cadastres,
On croyait dominer le temps,
L'espace, la terre, la mer, le ciel
Et tout le grand chambardement
 Alors avant de se faire la belle,
 poussière d'étoile, salue le temps
________________________________________________________
Time is not passing
 We are the ones who pass through time
Like a comet between two ages
Like a star, like a mirage

Time is not passing
 We are the ones who pass through time
Head first on disasters
What do our powerless powers create
Like a comet between two stars
 We are the ones who pass through time

With our clocks, our cadastres,
We thought we dominated time,
Space, land, sea, sky
And all the great upheaval
 So before you make a big deal,
 stardust, greets the time

Le Temps immobile ( Musique : Larengonat; Paroles et chant : vent d'ouest)

after school
runaways
was just the two of us
babe

leave our homes
leave our friends
see where the highway
ends

flying
trying

you never come around now

ever gone
here to stay
you live inside of me
Maeve

in my dream’s
shadow play
until tomorrow comes
stay

crying
trying

you never come around now

until tomorrow comes
stay

Cast of characters:
Ross Smithe -- @ross-smithe – foundational piano, synth, arrangement, lead vocals, first vocal harmony, and production.
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- electric piano, drums, and high vocal harmony
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– mastering
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – four-string fretless bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, lowest harmony in the vocal break, and mix

This grateful Dead song has been a favorite of Josh's for most of his life. So, when he and Ross were tossing around ideas for a Dead song to cover, they landed on this one. Ross, being the superb musician that he is, laid down a skeleton for the whole song on his piano, and added his vocals, as well as some synth that you hear at the very beginning. 
  Once we had a solid foundation to work from, Ken added his raucous main drums. Then, to get the effect of two drummers, like the Dead, JJ added some simpler, back-up drums, too. Once the drums were there, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the stew. Now that the rhythm section was done, JJ added his Brent-like electric piano, sprinkling magic throughout. Then it was time for Josh to go to work with the 6-strings. First, he added a rhythm guitar, trying to do justice to Bob Weir. Once that was completed, Josh also got to lay down Jerry's lead part, which he enjoyed immensely.
  After the music was complete, JJ added his high harmony throughout the song. Josh also added the lowest harmony in the a cappella vocal break. Since all the pieces were now in place, it was time for a mix. Ross generously did a preliminary mix, including some automation. However, the main mix was done by Josh on this one, in a rare show of his mixing vision. However, we did ask Stephen to master the whole thing for us, too, which he did expertly. 
  Our real goal with this one was to have a song we could show our deadhead friends with pride. We hope we did the Dead, their fans, and their music a service by keeping their amazing music alive. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it. 
  Please remember to share it, if you dig it!

This project used to be called "imaginary friends", but it became too real for that name, as did many of you.

I hope you enjoy something you find here. Do feel free to be in touch, you never know what might happen.  

I also invite you to attend @hypnopompetus, a duo project with the illustrious Cheesemont Paisley-Paisley https://soundcloud.com/sel-sync, and Fictive Sisters, a transatlantic band with  the incomparable Wheelwright https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com/album/immaculate-distraction.
