=======================


Music created in July 2024
Editing, lyrics, vocals and covert art by Winkandwoo.

The original idea came from the chorus of the music. I thought of an accordion to create it, but unfortunately I couldn't find a good sound for the iPad for this instrument, so I scrapped the idea and replaced it with a soft synthesizer with some depth.

My partner in adventures, on this occasion, did the rest with an impeccable job full of creativity and elegance.

Thanks Clive, again, for this gift.

What are they feeding your mind
How are they seeding your kind

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

Why do they need you so much
When do they get in touch

Illusion machine
It's bigger than you and me
Illusion machine
The demon's behind your screen

Lyrics:
Some people say these are the best of times, Other people say times are bad.  But don’t you know it’s always a good time when you’re around.
You always have something good to say, even on the most miserable day.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud


Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

Some people say this town has seen better days
 but everything looks good to me
Cause don’t you know that when you’re by my side, that’s the only place I want to be.  
Every time I see your beautiful face, I know I’m living in the right place

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud

Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
Play it loud, you make me turn up the music play it loud.
You make me turn up the music play it loud.

All it take is a smile from you and they sky turns from grey to blue
You’re a ray of sunshine, busting  through the clouds.
You make me turn up the music play it loud
You make me turn up the music, Turn up the music, Turn up the music play it loud.

STEP SEVEN

Norwegian Funk Soup

Written by James Geer

That behind glass is the suit and the mask
Hangs on my wall today
That in the corner was Silvers saddle 
Chasing dust bunnies away

Chorus:
Hi Yo Silver. (x3) 
Away

Tonto went on to the old hunting ground
In the sky around 59
We would fight rustlers and outlaws and bandits
all I fight now for is time

Chorus

Silver survived until 45
Put him down in Santa Fe 
Now I just ride this old single wide
Lot fees residuals pay

Chorus

Hi Yo Silver

Writing for orchestra seems intimidating at first, so many instruments, so many combinations you that shouldn't work, so many ways to mess up... But the moment you listen to the string section playing the melody that's been stuck in your head for so long, and heaven opens in you ears, then you know there's no escape from this, you got to keep writing. Smi mens jernet er varmt.

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs.
