Name: Far and Wide (with Mikey McFaffington) by Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary) in Fab Collabs
Duration: 3 min 27 s
Description: This song is a result of trans-Pacific cooperation at it's best. my his friend Mikey McFaffington, of Geelong, Australia, sent me some guitar chords and a smoking sax riff. I took them both, added an arrangement, bass, organ, guitar, and a beat. This is the result. We hope you like it. You can find Mikey on here, too, under his name.

Another great track! Love the shakers, bass, sax, guitar and the overall feel. The sax still makes it swing though along with the guitar🎷🎷🌟🎶

Great arrangements, love the tune.🔥👂🔥

ONE DAY IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
LEARN TO GIVE AND TAKE BUT CRY
A BIRTHDAY WISH IS ALL THATS TRUE
A WISHING WELL WITH NO DESIRE

TEN YEARS ON AND TO SMART TO LEARN
ON YOUR BIKE AND LOST IN STUFF
I THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL DAYS GONE
WHAT WE SEE WE LEARN TO TRY

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
(break)
THE WISE GREY MAN CAN BEARLY HEAR
GRANDCHILD SENDS A TEXT OF LOVE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE SEA
HE REMEMBERS HOW HE USED TO BE

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THELINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

LIFE

DOWN THE LINE

i reworked this song, I never really finished it when i posted it, i just kind of wanted to move on. This is a better song now.. I still can't get the vocals to sound right.. 
NOTE: I remixed this song, was able to get the pops and crackles out of the vocals

The evening fog had come, floating softly from the sea
and turned the world into a dream, where there is only you and me
when long ago we walked this shore,
and we had it all, but nothing more
not a memory you would keep
but it was everything to me

now time has burned away the fog, and we’ve come back to this place 
the silver sea and midnight sky underneath the milky way
but something’s lost along the way
where the water meets the sky so far away
it’s an illusion of the sea
they never really come to be

all I ever wanted, everything I thought I needed
I hoped to find in your heart     
If all of this meant nothing
then we’ve wasted all our time
We tried to be something we’re not
The same mistakes we’re making
The same bad road we’re taking 

It washes over me 
this is real, and not my dream
Let this be, go and find the one you need,
Who loves you for the things they see
Not what I want you to be
Not what you want me to be…

What I Wanted You To Be

Here is a little ditty I wrote. Hope you all dig it!

The Old Oak Tree

Lest go for a walk along a beautiful Beach, surf running, birds singing, feel the cold sand beneath your feet, feel the freedom hear the world as it really is. Come walk with me on a beautiful beach in County Wexford, Ireland. Feel the freedom that only nature offers.

Another world

Another World

WHO’S WHO WHAT’S WHAT
WHERE’S LEFT FROM RIGHT
WHAT’S RIGHT FROM WRONG
ME  I DON’T KNOW

CAN YOU MAKE OUT
DAYLIGHT FROM NIGHT
OR HIGH FROM LOW
ME I DON’T KNOW OH
 
QUESTIONS QUESTIONS
WITH NEVER ANSWERS
WHY?
THAT’S ANOTHER QUESTION

WHO ARE YOU WHO IS ME
WHOEVER WE MAY BE
DESTINY
DESTINATION

HORNBILLS CHEAP THRILLS
FOOLS ON BLUEBERRY HILL
THE QUESTION IS
WHO’S GONNA PAY THE BILL 

WHO’S WHO WHAT’S WHAT
WHERE’S LEFT FROM RIGHT
WHAT’S RIGHT FROM WRONG
ME I DON’T KNOW

QUESTIONS (Lyrics)

Energetic – That's how I Feel
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light!

Move Yourself Against the Wind
But Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long
But you Don't Know what to Say!

Move Yourself Into that Space
Where Generosity Never Ends
Like a Fountain Lifts your Face
Where the Sorrow starts to Bend!

Don't Ever Ask
Why am I Here
You're Vital to Us
When Our Path's Unclear                         x2
I Need Your Love, Spirit, and Fire!
Spread Astral Wings
My Pen You Inspire!

Move Yourself Against the Wind – but Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long, but You Don't Know what to say

Energetic – That's how I Feel !
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light !!!

Energetic

The „Witness Statement“ (Crow No 3)

1
"...that you find me here is really just a pure coincidence
Things are very clear at the scenery of the incident 

ref
I don’t really know those two, 
I think I have seen them before
Once they sat on the shoulders of a deceased god 
They used to whisper to 

I’m only a casual passer-by
Just happen to be passing by
Nothing more but a casual passer-by
Don't ask me what's going on or why

2
I'm on my way home - a beech tree, close by, 
Have  been searching for long
Even has a balkony and a secret hiding place in the roots, 
Plenty of room for lots of stuff and things, even got a roof

ref
I really don’t know those two 
I think I have seen them before
Once they sat on the shoulders of a deceased god  
They used to whisper to 

But I - only a casual passer-by
Just happen to be passing by
Nothing more but an innocent casual passer-by
Don't ask me what's going on or why

3
The victim ? - Isn’t known to me…
I remember before it was seen higher up
It was pink and looked like a pumping heart which was  too cocky on the run
At its lower end something small blinked seductively in the rising sun

ref
I don’t really know those two
(Though they are of my kind)
I think I have seen them before
Didn’t they sit on the shoulders of a deceased god 
They used to whisper to ?

But me, only a casual passer-by
Just happen to be passing by
Nothing more but an innocent casual passer-by
Don't ask me what's going on or why

On my way home
Just passing by…"

The Witness Statement (Crow No 3) ft Mikey McFaffington and his Saxophonic Adventures

This is a song that started as a stem with which Ian (IPG1) let Tez and I play. Tez made the riddim and added the guitar, producing a chord structure with which for me to work. I added bass, piano, synth, and sitar. Tez produced and mixed the whole thing. Ian's rapping is the centerpiece of the whole thing, though. Both of these guys are very special and talented. We hope you enjoy the song.

Lyrics:: „I miss the days“

Verse One
Sunday turned into Friday 
I spent 5 days
Hiding
Trying everything to forget you
Trying to get back to my youth

Pre - Chorus
Oh, 
how things have changed
I’ve fallen from grace
I miss the days
When it was just me
Before I met you
Before I got all these wounds

Chorus
you said
I’ll love you always
But always is a promise
That no one can keep
Thought you were the one in my dreams
Guess I’ll just keep fantasizing

Verse Two
Im awake at 2am
In a cold sweat
Cause the bed 
Gets colder and colder 
Dont know what I’m doing
It’s so confusing
Can’t find my footing

I Miss The Days - Paploviante

"Magic is what we do. Music is how we do it." -- Jerry Garcia

Welcome to my page, my peers, associates, friends, and musical family. I'm a lifelong, multi-instrumentalist musician who records prolifically and joyfully. You'll hear me play guitar, bass (regular four string, and four and five string fretless), mandolin, banjo, keys (piano, organ, synth), lap slide, sitar, and sing on my recordings here. I've been in a few dozen bands in my life, playing everything from bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam band, reggae, funk, afrobeat, Middle Eastern, traditional Irish, singer/songwriter, pop/covers, to experimental/avant garde. 
  Since I found SoundCloud a couple years ago, I've found many talented, creative people with whom to create music. However, in the summer of '23 I formed a band called The Eclectic Collective with some of my favorite musicians I've met through here. It started as a loose collective of musicians and coalesced into a core group of musicians who find other musicians with whom we'd like to make music, then run their songs through our process, and in effect add a full band. That core of The Eclectic Collective includes Tez (Llanpsych), J.J. Terrel, Ken (K2 and the Three), Stephen (Texmex Shaman), Chris (cgmaness), and Mark (mistermark). A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. More recently, we've been joined by Carl of The Beautiful Dark fame. 
  The magic of music is amplified exponentially by each person adding to it. So, we really try to add our sorcery all kinds of music from all kinds of artists. Sometimes, we keep it within the group, but a lot of what we do is collaboration with other artists. Therefore these days, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other artists on the side.
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song or lyrics and you really want to add bigger instrumentation or a band and good production to it. 
  A small sampling of the artists whom I consider primary influences, and whom you will hear coming through my fingers include Phish, The Flaming Lips, The Grateful Dead, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Meditations, Michigan and Smiley, Lee Perry, Dillinger, Django Reinhardt, Impossible Recording Machine, The Allman Bros Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Bela Fleck, Les Claypool, Sam Bush, David Grissman, John Prine, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, MMW, Moe., Morphine, Ween, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald, John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Victor Wooten,  Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Flea, Parliament Funkadelic,  Frank Zappa, Prince Paul, Pete Rock, Thievery Corporation, Amon Tobin, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Carol Kaye, Tame Impala, Mumford and Sons, Japanese Breakfast, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, Sean Lennon, and Billy Strings, but of course there are many more. I also really like and am influenced by traditional Iranian, Palestinian, Indian, Sri Lankan, Sudanese, Mauritian, Somalian, Egyptian, West African, and Syrian music. I welcome anyone who plays non-western music to contact me for a collaboration, too.
 I'm overjoyed to have found my community on SoundCloud. This is a truly unique forum where everyone is sincerely trying to build each other up. The profoundly supportive and positive SoundCloud community has really opened up an exciting new world of collaboration for me. That is the main reason I'm in the Cloud, actually, to connect with other musicians and make music that I enjoy listening to, and hopefully others do, as well. I am ALWAYS looking to collaborate with interesting musicians, mostly though BandLab, which is where I record almost exclusively. It's a solid, free digital audio workstation hub where you can share recording projects, even if it's not where you make your recordings.
  Everything I do is live instrumental, not programmed, and using no computer beyond my phone. That's not to say that I would be opposed to using that kind of tool, it's just not my preferred medium with which to paint. If you like my music, please share it. If you want to collaborate, my BandLab handle is @bingo_pajama. Feel free to contact me at cornbreadband@hotmail.com, as well, even if you aren't on BandLab.
  If your music is primarily AI, please don't come around my page, as I'm not at all interested in complimenting a machine.
  Here's a link to music I've recorded live with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.

No AI is used to generate sounds whilst journeying on these cacophonic adventures.
