This song features Dave Cooper on vocals and rhythm guitar.  This is a variation on a song I wrote a little while back and placed on YouTube.  I play mandolin and fiddle on this version.  Dave Cooper added new music and melody for the original lyrics.

Here is a link to the original version of this song:

Do Right, Do Wrong

Verse 1:
Way back in the 1500’s
In Stratford upon Avon
The Merchant of Venice 
Shylock is good and a menace

Chorus 1:
To do a great right 
Do a little wrong
That is what
Shakespeare said

Verse 2:
What does it mean
To the play’s scene
Why must one do wrong to do right?
That is the situation Portia had to fight
How can this possibly be
Why would he make this plea

Verse 3:
When Bassanio urges Portia to break the law in order to thwart Shylock

Final Double Chorus:
Sometimes it is necessary
To do a little wrong
To create a situation for a great right

Lyrics:

Butterfly Lips

We're like the pantomime villains
Everybody boo’s when we enter the room 
We’re just an imprint on your souls 
That you left like an unkept wilted rose
It feels like we have been dropped off 
After driving to the middle of nowhere 
So we will clear our desk find a box
Fill it right up and fuck right off

Chorus 
It’s been one of those days 
Now it’s one of those nights x2
And the one thing we’ll never resist
Is the taste of our butterfly lips x2

We are your coffee flavour
In our mixed up bag of revels
Maybe that’s the reason why everyone’s bitter and dishevelled
Our moral gymnastics has somersaulted through the roof again
We will clear our desk find a box
Fill it up and fuck right off

Chorus 

Many people like to claim responsibility for their success
But we will find ourselves alone
For the failures and regrets 
So we keep it short and keep it sweet 
'Cause we’re listening through gritted teeth 
So we will clear our desk find a box fill it up and fuck right off!

Chorus

Did you save me
Or did you take me down? down
Prayers are no longer needed
Now i leave the ground
Did you love me
When you held me tight, so tight
Words are illusions but tears never lie

Now I'm a ghost in this world 
Far from the living, far from home
I still have the taste on my tongue
Memories in monochrome
Wandering with peace of mind
Just listening to the blind
I'm ok, leaving it all behind

A ghost in this world,
far from heaven, far from hell
I don't know where i belong
and for now some doubts prevail
Deprived of the essential
What seemed so valuable
I'm ok, lost in intangible

A ghost in the world
Lost in intangible

Did you love me
Did you lie ?
Did you save me
Or take me down ?
-----
Est ce que tu m'as sauvé
Où est ce que tu m'as mis à terre ?
Les prières ne sont plus nécessaires
Maintenant je quitte le sol
Est-ce que tu m'as aimé
Quand tu me tenais serré, si serré
Les mots sont des illusions mais les larmes ne mentent jamais

Maintenant je suis un fantôme dans ce monde 
Loin des vivants, loin de chez moi
J'ai encore le goût sur ma langue
Des souvenirs en monochrome
Errant avec la paix de l'esprit
Écoutant les aveugles
Je vais bien, en laissant tout derrière moi

Un fantôme dans ce monde,
loin du paradis, loin de l'enfer
Je ne sais pas où est ma place
Et pour l'instant, certains doutes subsistent
Privé de l'essentiel
Ce qui semblait si précieux
Je vais bien, perdu dans l'intangible

Un fantôme dans le monde
Perdu dans l'intangible

M'aimais-tu ?
As-tu menti ?
M'as-tu sauvé
Ou m'as-tu fait tomber ?

Lyrics:

I can show you were the crow lives now
Black feathers and king like crown
Kiss that ring when your taking the bow
Don't shake
They take flesh by the pound
Don't mistake
Love for a noun
Cause it means heartbreak
When the ups are down
heartbreak
When the ups are down
Bitch I'm over and Out
Over and Out 
I got goons in the back a the Ford
Goons and they back at the fort
Did I mention we knock and we chop
Mmm
Socks and we fill m with rocks
We bored
Yeah
Films about knocking the clocks
Out a cops on the road
Show
Flock and they raise me on shoulders
Like never Before
Woah oh woah
Yeah
Don't rag on the man with the scorn
Body bags under the porch
He don't whip in he rip off the Porsche at the store
He don't trip and he quit every time he gets bored
Every time I get
Yeah
Wanna be on the road
Wanna be on the 
I don't wanna be here
I wanna be on the road
I wanna be away
I wanna be on tour
I need everyone's attention but I also wanna be alone
We got a long night
And a long drive
I got something we can light
Make the honey that is roasting in the pipe
That's tight
10 roach
Break down
Frank Stein
Bee hives make the money that's right
What a life
Break out the wine
I'm fake your fake
That's wild
Let's walk and talk some shit for a while

Time Switch

This is a song by one of my favorite bands that, believe it or not, Chris suggested we do. I really feel like we're kindred musical spirits. His playing on this and his voice are excellent as always. He's on acoustic guitar and the high vocals on this one. He also mixed, produced, and arranged the song. You'll hear me on the bass, synth, slide, mandolin, and auxiliary guitar, as well as singing the two low parts. We decided to do a string of covers back in the summer. If you've taken the time to read this, then please throw out some suggestions in the comments for our next one (or the one after that).

"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.
