So good to hear new Josh and this is truly fine stuff my friend. So easy to relate to and follow your tale of life and love. Your messages are so true and fresh and this is so polished without being slick, just down to earth and to the heart. Terrific. Durge

Hi Josh, I love the song. What wonderful work!

MIRAGE

YOU EMBED A WIRE UP IN MY BRAIN
(music and words by The Ox Prison)

Way down inside
I can read your lies
Your face is still
But it’s in your eyes

You cast a spell
On the universe
You drive around
In your rainbow hearse

Up in my brain
You embed a wire
The microwaves
Set my mind on fire
You fly so high
Like the evil drones
You dwell within
Ghostly skull and bones

You dress so nice
Million-dollar shoes
You have your men 
On the evening news

You care so much
About the working class
You hug the kids
And you attend the mass
A day will come
When you need to go
It comes for everyone
You’d better save your soul

Way down inside
I can read your lies
Your face is still
But it’s in your eyes

A hold on me (Original)

Twenty miles ahead of me
Potholes crop up before
I can turn the wheel
Jarring the base of my spine
Or at least what’s left of it

Don’t mind the drive
Don’t mind the noise
Part of the experience 
Television cartoon characters

Three hundred miles I’ve got behind
I’m not looking to the past
Forward march
Counting hours as they pass
By the minute, for a second
Curtain part

Don’t mind the drive
Don’t mind the noise
Part of the experience 
Television cartoon characters

Living by the golden rule
Never let them see me drool

Don’t mind the drive
Don’t mind the noise
Part of the experience 
Television cartoon characters

Living by the golden rule
Never let them see me drool

Put the distance in perspective 
Doesn’t really seem so insurmountable 
Ask me if I’d go again
Heck yeah! Had a blast
You can count me in

My EP SUPERNOVA contains two Japanese songs, and this is one of them. I have never released a song in Japanese before, but I took the plunge and decided to release these. It's a song recorded in one take with my acoustic guitar and vocal. The tempo is middle tempo (I didn't use the metronome function so I don't know the BPM). 3m58s. The main genre is Folk. This is a gentle and slightly blue song. Link to major platforms : https://linkco.re/E2aRhZS6

Lyrics : (Alright)

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

見知らぬ人に笑われて
僕は明日から戻るでしょう
僕の果てなき探究は
きっとあなたへと帰ってゆく

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

涙を見たくて
涙を流したくてOh
僕は僕は
きっと戻るね

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

FOREVER BE

First track of a set of piano tracks exploring places like post cards

Piano Post Cards I - La Plage

Second Chance

I discovered her hidden secret's as I was counting sheep, she was sawing logs 

I was counting sheep, she was sawing logs

The storm moved on

Verse 1

Out in West Texas where the oil rigs shine,
Billy Bob’s wranglin’ fortunes, tryin’ to make ‘em mine.
Deals in the dirt, secrets in the sand,
It’s a wild ol’ world when you’re a Landman.

Chorus

🎶 Pump it up, drill it down,
Cowboy boots in a boomtown.
Money’s flowin’, tempers too,
Singin’ them ol’ Landman Blues.
Yeehaw, strike it rich or bust,
In Sheridan’s world, it’s oil or dust! 🎶

Verse 2

Tommy Norris got a plan, but it’s half a mess,
Cami’s countin’ dollars while he’s countin’ stress.
Deals with drug lords, lawyers, and kin,
Lord knows the trouble that oil brings in.

Chorus (repeat)

🎶 Pump it up, drill it down,
Cowboy boots in a boomtown.
Money’s flowin’, tempers too,
Singin’ them ol’ Landman Blues.
Yeehaw, strike it rich or bust,
In Sheridan’s world, it’s oil or dust! 🎶

Bridge (funny twist)

Well the rigs keep spinnin’, the whiskey keeps pourin’,
Contracts signed while the roosters are snorin’.
If you’re lookin’ for love, or just a quick buck,
Better bring a lawyer and a whole lotta luck!

Final Chorus (amped up)

🎶 Pump it up, drill it down,
Cowboy boots in a boomtown.
Secrets rise like oil from the ground,
Landman’s the wildest show around!
Yeehaw, strike it rich or bust,
In Sheridan’s world, it’s oil or dust! 🎶
