The Smoking Trout collaborative's Quest for the Holy Dumpling, episode 7 finds our traveling band of protagonists hitting on some good luck after we left them 'out of food and out of gas' at the end of the last installment of our work-in-progress concept album.

On this one, I came up with a beat and synth score as step 1. Then Jeff added some fantastic vocals and Stephen brought in a killer guitar groove. We always have tons of fun making these, hope you will enjoy listening as well!

Lyrics:

Sally ls a hero, found a hundred dollar bill and a sack of Skittles
ln between the Cushions of the couch-
Sid and MaryAnn are at the local bloodbank
peddling pints of plasma
for fifty bucks a pop-
Maurice and Nostradamus are at the western Union
picking up three hundred dollars
from their grandma ln Tacoma

Gus ls working on the Bus
ln the episcopalian Parklng lot
and even got two hundred dollars from the congregation-
Stu he's got a Visa card which he never uses
Ubered over to the lucky Ladles where he's playing black jack
hoping for a Major Parlay--Hoping for a major Parlay-----

Larry and Roberta, while beggin for some buckshees
and playln muslc on the corner at the farmers market
met a Sufi sitting on the sidewalk
serenely spouting scripture from the 
Transcendental Dharma of the Holy Dumpling

Along with baking soda, salt, wheat and water
A heavy leavening of responsibility ls required ln the making--
and some mushrooms only growing ln Oaxaca
lf you wanna make that dumpling, she sald
you're gonna have to go
To Mexico

白昼夢

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

You can suit up in your avatar and always try to look your best
You can give yourself big muscles even if you have a puny chest
You can live like a cro magnon in a dark and dirty cave
You don’t have to wear deodorant
 you don’t need to shower or shave

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse

We’ll all live below the surface and never see the light of day
And as long as we have our VR goggles everything’s going to be okay
Mark Zuckerberg’s working really hard to make sure that VR sells
Pretty soon we’ll be living like those mole people in the time machine by HG wells

Like those people in the matrix 
Floating in tanks with electrodes strapped to their heads
Going through life thinking it’s real but everything is virtual instead.

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

This song sprung out of a practice session, with the lyrics, especially the first verse, just tumbling out.
It's another love song for my partner.  Can't seem to stop writing them, but that's how much she means to me.  Will be more worried if I stop writing them.  
Hope you enjoy it.

Hey… Happy December wherever you are. This is an early winter song, with a hint of cabin fever going on. Luckily, I still have my sense of humor, although not much to say right now, as… well you live on this planet too. Aren’t we having fun these days? Thanks for dropping by, Mark

Keeping with the Valentine's Day theme of love, here's an oldie but goldie I wrote this back in 1998, can you believe it, It's another song about my dream girl that I wouldn't meet for many year afterwards. I was divorced for about 2 years and pretty much feeling abandoned and lonely. I remember wanting to write a song in the same vein as "And I Love Her" by The Beatles. A very acoustic number with an accordion playing in the background, you know, very romantic like something you might hear in a Paris cafe! This was one of the first songs I did with Charlie, it wasn't recorded too well since I had an old Tascam 8-track analog recorder and it's distorted quite a bit but I think the melody and lyrics still hold up. (Mastering didn't help this song at all, sorry!) I don't know, let me know what you think in the comments. I've always liked the first line about wrapping myself inside her smile. I produced the video a few months ago for this Valentine's Day. I enjoyed putting it together and added like 10 quick snap shots of beautiful women taking selfies at the end of the video. I hope you guys enjoy it and Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Ciao! 😎✌🏼

“HOW I LOVE HER”

IT’S JUST SOMETHING IN THE WAY SHE WEARS A SMILE,   
THAT MAKES ME WANT TO WRAP MYSELF INSIDE IT,   
NO MATTER HOW HARD I MIGHT TRY TO HIDE IT,   
HOW I LOVE HER,             
     
SIMPLY A SUBTLE SHIFT OF HER BEAUTIFUL EYES, 
MELTS AWAY ALL THE BITTERNESS WITHIN ME,   
AND EVERY TIME SHE TOUCHES ME, SHE WINS ME,  
HOW I LOVE HER,

I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,       
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,       
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,   
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,          
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,   
HOW I LOVE HER,      
          
I ADORE HER EVERY CULTIVATED GLANCE,        
AND EACH MOVEMENT THAT SHE MAKES IS LIKE A DANCE,
THERE’S NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE HER,         
I CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF HER,       
SHE’S MY DREAM COME TRUE, MY EVERYTHING,       
AND WITH EACH AND EVERY LOOK SHE MAKES MY SENSES SING,
     
EVERY TIME SHE KISSES ME, I’M IN HEAVEN,    
WHEN SHE’S IN MY ARMS MY WORRIES DISAPPEAR,           
MY LOVE FOR HER GROWS STRONGER WITH EACH YEAR,  
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER,   
HOW I LOVE HER.

This is a song about treading new paths, and the footwear required :-)

"New Ways" written by KL
Recorder (Blockflöte) by SL (my 8 year old daughter)
Guitar by MJW (a good friend of mine)
Vocals, Bass guitar, Drums and Synthesizer by KL

Feel free to turn up the volume :-)

Chorus:
Can´t find...can´t find new ways…
can´t find new ways in worn-out shoes…
Can´t break...can´t break new ground…
can´t break new ground in worn-out shoes...

New Ways

Another acoustic song taken on by Mighty Mike Fox for This Sound Society project.
Can’t thank him enough for his efforts,  skills & enthusiasm for the ideas. A double busy top bloke.
This song is about a personal experience a long time ago that still to this day can hurt when mentioned.
Then 20 years after the dust as settled the opportunity arises out of the blue to cut to the chase and talk truth & transparency about the situation.
Always two sides to a story and their version strangely favours the brave but they take no responsible for their actions and the feelings of others after they shit on you from a great height after you have been always helpful & decent to them. 
You may still love these people and forgive them but you never forget.
So it’s about people who are close to you wether it’s family or friends. 
We have probably all been there and feel betrayed but because of who they are you rise above to be a better person. 
They don’t change with time just turn inside out.
They will still be out for number one and would sell their Granny for personal gain .
To be deceitful, lie and play you like a fiddle leaving you in the dark.
This Sound Society gives you the second track of 2025.
20 years……..

V1
Time as a habit of bringing things to the surface
So if you want to get into this then it better be worth  it 
My versions different and your gonna deserve it 
20 years as passed since that day  in earnest 



There’s  a time to talk this through 
Now’s the time time for me & you
To talk……..  transparency & truth x2

V2
There’s always an excuse for why it shouldn’t of happened 
You only have reasons that  you just imagined 
And just because it’s 20 years doesn’t make it old fashioned 
So take a seat and let’s watch it all Unfasten 

Chorus 

Lead break

Finish on double chorus

20 Years -This Sound Society

Brand NEW track "Thought I Was Dreaming", taken from the "Ultraviolet Cosmos" upcoming full length STA album (2025). Enjoy y'all #share, #like, #follow and comment of course. :D

Youtube: https://youtu.be/5TOaRZxQbGs?si=tAH31Rz_1uPP6dEn

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

(p) & (c) STA, 2025.
