Hazy mornings with you
Everything’s gone downhill

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
Cause you care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Just a last time then I’ll disappear
All of our tainted years

We’ll cruise through the stars
Just making up together
This beautiful collision

I know you know I’d do anything
You care and I do
You and I so beautifully collide
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision
This beautiful collision

Digital Mystics

They conjure up
Numbers from
the sacred air like
alpha shamans always do
saging poetics and
placing their hands
on the mouse of
your spine
just a page away
from nirvana
they say it would heal you
the old incantations
of an ancient
magic speaking to you
in tongues with clicks
layered in keyboard divination
they are here to say
you can illuminate
the world with love
laughing with your bellies...

drums, samples, synth- lady of fire poetry (Tanisha Jackland)

Digital Mystics (With Love) ❤️

This is one of those songs, you just had to get off your chest! All of you creatives will understand that. Its not the hippest or the coolest song , even the music  is understated and the production is lacking, but the words are where the heart is .

Thank you for all of your wonderful plays playlists and shares, very much appreciated!

A Song For The Dreamers

Three hundred thirty million people in this country 
And we had to pick these two
Three hundred thirty million people in this country 
You’d think we could find somebody new

You say you really want to exercise your right to vote 
But if either of these guys was captain of a boat
You’d be afraid to set foot on that ship
You wouldn’t take that trip

Commercial jet pilots retire at 65
Cause after that age they’re afraid they’ll nosedive.
But there’s no age limit for the president of the USA
It’s perfectly okay

What are you supposed to do when both choices stink
You’ve got two glasses of Kool Aide
You’re not sure which one to drink

They get up on stage and we watch them a debate
Instead of rising to the occasion, they punch below their weight
We keep hoping that one of them will say something profound
But they let us down

They get asked hard questions and their answers are simple
Preventing World War three it’s like popping a pimple
And those budget deficits will magically disappear
We’ll be in the clear

Every four years we’re told that the situation is so dire
It’s like the country’s a giant gallon of milk 
And it’s about to expire
They say a broken clock is right two times a day
You never know we might pick the wrong guy and things might not turn out okay

What are you supposed to do when both choices stink
You’ve got two glasses of Kool Aide and you’re not sure which one to drink
Three hundred thirty million people in this country 
And we had to pick these two
Three hundred thirty million people in this country 
You’d think we could find somebody new

Unboxed July 2024

[ d o w n l o a d a b l e ]

Wild

Sometimes it feels like we’re two old young lovers
We break up to avoid embarrassing promises
We get back together and the cycle repeats
And the clock keeps on ticking and the years slip away

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We’re two uncertain hunters on a futile quest
Searching for the lost ark looking for the address
We’re two supporting actors looking for a leading role 
But most nights we’re just hunker down in our fox hole

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re still hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We see ourselves as young brilliant story tellers
But as we tell our tales, we repeat ourselves
Sometimes we’re tossed about by insignificant whirlwinds
We feel as precarious as crumbling towers

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip

We break up to avoid embarrassing promises 
That we never intended to keep
But then we get back together again 
Cause this hole that we dug is so deep

Sometimes we’re riding on the shoulders of giants
Other times we’re completely self-reliant

Some days it feels like we’re in control
Other days it feels like it’s just a dice roll

Sometimes we’re as strong as a young climbing flower
Other times it feels like we’re losing our power

We’re two old young lovers who don’t want face the truth
We’re two old young lovers trying to cling to our youth

Slip away, slip away, time slips away
The clock keeps on ticking, but we still feel okay
Two old young lovers and we think we’re so hip
Two old young lovers on a strange crazy trip
Two old young lovers and we’re joined at the hip

A song for compulsive liars who happily spiral downward in a web of deceit. It usually catches up eventually.
Lyrics
You’ll need a glimpse of brilliance to lie your way out of this 
Cos by your own high standards 
You’ve created quite a mess 

So why don’t you try the truth 
You might even find it suits you 
Or is that whole idea just lost on you 

So a glimpse of brilliance is what your gonna need
To convince yourself and everyone else 
Of this web of deceit

So why don’t you try the truth 
You might even find it suits you 
Or is that whole idea just lost on you 

What goes round you it comes around 
And what goes up must come down…..

Glimpse Of Brilliance

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs. 
Recently I have had the urge to pick up my guitars (Taylor 114ce and Fender Squire) and I have been trying to use more guitar in my songs.  
My go to .vst plug ins are  EZkeys 2, EZ Bass and  EZ drummer 3) and my DAW is Logic Pro 11. 
I welcome your comments and enjoy listening to all the great music on SoundCloud. 
All songs are originals and copyrighted.
