MD..great vocal and lyrics..like the beat/flow/rhythm of the music

Wow...Josh, this production is so catchy and sunny! The right song for this morning!☀️☀️☀️

4th listening...I am concentrating on your fretless bass! Awesome!🎶👍

Love this track! I love how all the instruments stand out when they are the point of focus, but never detract from the song as whole. Great composition, arrangement, production and performance!

Man it’s good to see this one be released.  I know Ken put a lot into it and I’m happy for him too that it’s published. Sounded great here man !  Bass and vocals - very impressive brother !!

haha--everytime I hear this, I start to smile--very last century :):)

dang, almost a month since this dropped - that's how long I've been out of SC commission!  well, catching up as you know... As I mentioned to Ken, this reminds me of something by the doors – maybe love me two times? Or love her madly?. Anyway, really enjoy the duelling vocals in this one, and a different changes throughout. Really fabulous stuff going on here, and I'm sorry I wasn't able to be part of the action.

Like a rainbow on a misty morning the promise of something good emerges – a blessing, an affirmative prayer, and a song of hope of better times for us all.

Synth guitars, pianos, keyboard, oboe, harp, and bird chirps set to Latin and hip hop beats @ 65 bpm. 

Bird chirps recorded live in April 2023.

Emergence

I’ve been on top of the world, and I’ve been down and out
I’ve been wasting time trying to figure it out
And I still don’t know why the world goes around

I made mistakes, and I paid the price
I watched my plans falling through the ice
I found true love, that left me high and dry

But one sweet day, one sweet day
Things are gonna go my way
I ain’t going down that rabbit hole no more
I am gonna pick myself up off the floor

But one sweet day, one sweet day
Things are gonna go my way
I ain’t being held in no spider web no more
I’m gonna pick myself up off the floor

If there’s just one thing, I could say to you
I’d tell you straight, I’d tell you true
When it falls apart, you still gotta see it through

And now you’re there alone, feeling down and blue 
When there’s someone, waiting there for you
I think you know what you’ve got to do

But one sweet day, one sweet day
Things are gonna go my way
I ain’t going into that lion’s den no more
I’m gonna pick myself up off the floor

But one sweet day, one sweet day
Things are gonna go my way
I ain’t going down that rabbit hole no more
I’m gonna pick myself up off the floor

One Sweet Day

devotion

If it were me, I’d ask you how your day has gone
If it were me, I’d listen as you carried on
And I would cherish all you say and do,
You’d tell me all your dreams,
I would make them all come true

And every day I’d tell you that you’re beautiful
Like how your eyes sparkle when you smile
And you should   know, for the first time in my life
 How I feel alive, and you were right here all the while
 
If it were me, you’re longing for

His love for you is fleeting and untrue
 A flash in the pan; he’ll soon disappear
And when you’re blue, i’ll be here for you
 Like I will be throughout the years
 
But it’s not me, I’m not the one your heart beats for
 Hard as I try, I’ll never be who you adore
And is that fair? Am I destined just to be
A friend that’s by your side
 While I keep it all inside?
‘cause it’s not me you’re longing for
A shoulder for your tears
A smile to ease  your fears
  That’s all I’ll ever be

if it were me

Are you paying attention? I guess you're not.
There’s too much information. Yeah, I hear that a lot...
And like a lot of fools you feel that you cannot improve without YouTube 
to help you through the bumps and bruises,
help you chew the lumps life chooses.
I don’t know if I wanna hold your hand.
If you follow me I’ll help you see that only I know how to breathe.
Come to stay and never leave.
See that violence leads to peace.
Instructions hid behind the crease.
Disruption to the sanity.

Lyrics:

I thought it would be easy to love
That it would only be good
We have distance
We're close, we touch...
I hate you! 
But I love you so much..

Chorus:
You can fall from a hill
You can fall from a mountain
But the hardest you ever fall 
Is in love..

Chorus...

Lots of ups and downs
One moment we're high up
The next on the ground..
Oh, I have fallen so many times
But never as hard
As falling for you..

Chorus..

One moment we're yelling at each other
The next we're making love..
Oh Baby, don't stop telling me
That I am the one..

Chorus..

You make me laugh
You make me cry
Many times you make me wonder: why?
But I love you so much, Baby
I keep falling, and falling for you...

Chorus...

An old song of mine that I've re-recorded recently. Its a tune I've always liked and has some special meaning as it was played at my dad's funeral.
I liked the original recording but this one's a little cleaner and more accurate.
There are four guitar parts, the main lead being played on my Santa Cruz.

This is a song that originated with Ken several months ago. He wrote the whole thing on piano, guitar, and drums and presented it to the rest of the band. Of course, everyone was very excited to add their spin to it. I added my bass part first, as the foundation. Ken also left his catchy original guitar intro as it was. Then JJ added his dynamic piano part, which ended up being both foundational and stylistic, along with the sax that you hear in there, too. Stephen added his solid foundational guitar to it, too, soon after. Then it sat, stalled out for need of some vocals. Of course, we asked TMD to add some, which he did in grand fashion for the choruses. All that was left were the verses. Ken wrote lyrics, and gave me an idea for the melody, so I sang the verses to wrap it up. Of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did so well, as always.

  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Save Me....
Save Me....

Trust is the word, that comes to my mind
When I think of you
You've been by my side
Through all these darkest days of my life

I'm writing this song for you
I want to express my gratitude
For all of your time
And especially to your wife
Cause you're a happily married man

Consideration
You're a rare example 
You define what is a friend

How many times have I cried
And you've listened to me
More than any person ever did in my life
And I sometimes wonder why

Oh my friend, I love you
Oh my friend, there's only you
To walk me through these hard times

Your eyes, they sparkle and shine
My pain goes away with your humanity

So I just want to let you know
That song I wrote about suicide
Will just stay a song

You'll never really how you saved me from the dark
Each time you answered my call
Yeah, I took a chance, I trusted you, and wow
what a friend you've become
I hope some day I'll be there for you

m m m ha
m m m  ha ha ha
m ha ha ha
ha ha ha oh ooh
oh o oh o hoo oo hoo ohoo (x 6)

You saved me from the dark
You saved me from dark
Oh yeah hah hah
Oh my friend oh my friend
Hold my hand until the end

Save me
Save me

You Save Me

You Saved Me (Mastered by MPRecords )

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

It was a time when downtempo was called Slow....spécial Thanks to Stepa.K for her a cappella….

SHADOW.   Feat Stepa.K

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, last summer ('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), and Stephen (Texmex Shaman), although we have also added Mark (mistermark) and The Mysterious Decibel to the mix this fall. A couple of other musicians are frequent collaborators, as well, including Artur of Surfers Like Us, and Steve Vervaet of Steve's World. 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. In fact, 100% of what I do is collaboration, within the group or with other amazing artists like Chris Maness (@cgmaness).
  I, and we, are also available for hire if you have a song 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, Radiohead, Rye Cooder, Steve Earle, Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, Arcade Fire, Mikey Dread, Yellowman, Purpleman, The Grateful Dead, 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, 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, and Sean Lennon, 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'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 some 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 recordings, 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, I just don't have access to it. 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.
  Recently, over the summer of '23, I formed a collective of my fellow SoundCloud musicians into a loose band called the Eclectic Collective. We have core members, but the lineup changes weekly. I basically found my favorite musicians on here, and asked them if they wanted to collaborate. It keeps growing strong. If you have some music that you think a band could bring to life, please hit me up and we'll see if we can add you, too. 
Here's a link to music I've recorded with a group of musicians here in Pittsburgh called The Northumberland Street Ramblers.
