There's some diving ducks down on the dock
they have to share the waters with the otters.
who also like that spot.
They don't know nothin bout the internet
And they don't give a damn about who's President
They just like to swim around all day
Under the water and eat those Fleshy Fishes
Cause they're so Dog Gone Delicious.

Now the gooses are arriving and the ganders they are fighting
and contriving to establish their Goosy Macho standing in the 
Hierarchy of the Gaggle.

And all the said Parties and Some Others
keep sharp eyes to the sky on the lookout for the Mighty Eagles
who hunt so fiercely with their Terrible and unforgiving Talons.

And the Spring is peeking through the Storm Clouds while each
and everyone is anticipating Her Arrival.

There's some Diving Ducks Down on the Dock.(the hierarchy of the Gaggle)

Got This Feeling

Got this feeling, grips my mind,
Wanna slide down the shower-wall sometimes.

People split, different states of mind,
And leave their ring and keys behind.

And your life becomes a word
On the tip of nobody’s tongue.

No tool-box can fix this wrong –
You’re just a prisoner in the tower of song.

The only by-pass for where you’ve been before
Is the 2-way traffic inside your door.

So talk it up, don't talk it down –
Yesterday's a trick, like the tears of a clown.

Hope and despair both lay their claim
But in the end only love sustains.

And this is all I have to say –
Tomorrow won’t come if you stand in its way.

Moment Milli - The Edge Of Sweetness

Taking five, waiting for the time to arrive, searching for the will to survive, on the drive of your lives
Taking four, chilling for another cold war, dreaming of the broken dance floor, falling through another trap door, hoping for more
Taking three, dominoes are falling over me, imprisoned in the land of the free, submerged in a fake reality
Taking two, power trippers calling after you, looking for another breakthrough, rejoicing at the callous menu, it’s true
Taking one, mad dogs running for the sun, fat cats have only just begun, creaming cream, having fun

Counting Down

wouldn't you like to know
are we supposed to know
how it ends

wouldn't you like to see
how it's gonna be
when it's all over

we could leave it up to chance
a little bit of romance never hurt
we could let it all just be
call it destiny 
enjoy the ride

if we knew maybe we'd get it right
or would we be resigned
would we make the most of time
living knowing that

wouldn't you like to know
how it's gonna go
will it rain

it may take a little while
to learn to live life
preordained

wouldn't you like to know
are we supposed to know
how it ends

preordained

January’s fool steps out into the limelight.
The first day of the year is always filled with fear
and hope and love and good intention.

February’s fool wraps up against the cold
wind blows a hole where a heart used to be
and now doesn’t even get a mention.

March fools, April fools we are
waiting out the winter.

May’s fool is turning over new leaves
hoping spring will bring some clear days,
show new ways to be together.

June fools, July fools we are
regretting and forgetting to surrender.

And while the seasons change we all just stay the same.
Trying to take control again.
Worried fools, worried fools we are,
worried fools we are - time takes care of everything.

August’s fool is holding on to sunshine,
ignoring all the straight lines
between us and the future.

September’s fool is rushing headlong
into something that just feels wrong
and is nothing more than rumour.

October fools, November fools we are
and December’s too.

And while the seasons change we all just stay the same,
holding on in vain again.
Worried fools, worried fools we are,
worried fools we are - time takes care of everything.
Take care of everything.

A Gathering of Sorts

Worried Fools

Well i have been promising myself for some time now to have a mid life crises, but i fear i may have left it too late because I'm probably TOO OLD  to have a mid life crises, so instead i wrote a song that to my mind and from Observing my friend who was young enough to  had a midlife crises i think this song encompasses most of the elements associated with a Male Mid life crises, if i have left any out please let me know and i can add them in ...ha ha 

Written, played and produced by Yours Truly: Johnny Mc .
I'm going to have me a mid life crises
I don't care what the price is  
I'm going to buy me a Strat 
I'm going to get me a Tat 
I'm going to roll those dices

Although we all may want to continue with our creative pursuits for ever, age has a way of catching up with you in ways that you hadn’t envisaged.  Our 3-piece garage band still enjoy creating and recording new tracks but as time goes on, we’re all  becoming acutely aware that each song is taking a little longer than it did previously, the input required a bit more energy than the last.  Factor in all of the daily ‘looking after yourself’ stuff and you start to realise there's less and less time to do everything that needs doing.

Gal does pretty much all of the admin. work on our page (listening, commenting, re-posting and the like) and for various reasons, fitting all of this in has become a somewhat impossible task for him.  That is not to say he doesn't still enjoy interacting with all of you but is finding that he no longer has the time nor stamina to carry on.

For myself, as the one who generates the material, songs are taking longer to write and develop.  For Hans, who so brilliantly arranges and produces them, fitting the process in with his real life responsibilities certainly doesn’t get any easier.  

Consequently, we are announcing our retirement from active involvement here on SC.  As the song explains, we don’t really want to stop. It’s more a case of having to.  For family archive purposes, we still plan to record and upload songs from time to time but since we won’t be around to provide any return support, know it is wholly unreasonable to expect any listens or comments.  You have all given so much already.    

We never expected the last 10 years to happen the way they have and want you to know that it's been a journey the entire Reeves’ family have enjoyed so very much.  None of this would have been possible without the support of our many friends here on SoundCloud, whose encouragement has buoyed us through the difficult personal times. We’ve had an absolutely wonderful ten years and we wouldn’t have missed it for the world.  We wish all of you the best of luck in your future endeavours.  From the heart, to one and all, thanks so much for everything.  
(Terry Reeves)

Tens years passing, with many distant lands
Unexpected friends, using voice and hands
Sharing music with freedom of thought
Expression of kindness, always giving support 

Chorus:
I had the best time
No regrets to call
Look back to look forward 
Only sideways to fall

Fame has a limit to a number of choice 
Happy to share, no need for Rolls-Royce 
Talent not in question, music to give
Opinions from many, helping each other to live

Chorus

SoundCloud a vehicle, movement of skills
A decision of finance, no room for old thrills
Changing future, believe a much younger need
Stopping communication, no longer to feed

Chorus

I want to thank you for calling 
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I apologise for high notes falling 
I don’t wanna say goodbye 
I will try to keep music installing 
I don’t wanna say goodbye
I don’t wanna say goodbye                  

Time for a smile, to all the friends passing by
No need to regret the chancing look of an eye
Many comments exchanged, a feeling of strength 
No regret of creation, our garage band of length

Chorus

Light My Fire by the Doors

… You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
… Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
… The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
… Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
… The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
… Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
… You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
… Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire

LIGHT MY FIRE (Doors Cover)-LYRIC-Info here

"Death Defying" is a song by the Australian rock band Hoodoo Gurus. It was released in 1987 on their album "Blow Your Cool!" and was also released as a single that same year. The song was written by the band's lead vocalist, Dave Faulkner

The lyrics to "Death Defying" were inspired by Faulkner's experiences living in Sydney and spending time near the ocean. The song explores themes of mortality, risk-taking, and the transformative power of experiences that push us to our limits. Faulkner has said that the song was also influenced by his interest in philosophy and existentialism, particularly the ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre

"Death Defying" was a moderate commercial success for Hoodoo Gurus, reaching number 30 on the Australian singles chart. The song has since become a fan favorite and is often included in the band's live performances. It has also been covered by several other artists, including the Swedish band The Wannadies and the US band Gin Blossoms

The lyrics of "Death Defying" explore similar themes of human freedom, risk-taking, and the search for meaning in a world that can seem chaotic and unpredictable. The line "If there's one thing that I've learned / It's the point of no return" can be interpreted as reflecting Sartre's idea of the existential choice, the moment when an individual is faced with a decision that will determine the course of their life

Similarly, the lyrics "All my friends are dead or they're dying / And our laughter turns into crying" can be seen as reflecting the fundamental existential condition of mortality and the idea that life is ultimately fleeting and impermanent. Sartre believed that the awareness of our own mortality is one of the key factors that drives us to create meaning in our lives

Finally, the idea of the ocean in the song can be a symbol for the absurdity and unpredictability of the world, which is a central theme in Sartre's philosophy. Sartre believed that the universe is indifferent to human existence and that we must create our own meaning in the face of this absurdity 

Existential metaphors in "Death Defying" by Hoodoo Gurus:

"Ever since the world began" - the idea of the world beginning is a fundamental existential concept that speaks to our search for meaning and purpose

"Men have sailed to foreign lands" - the journey to unknown territories can be seen as a metaphor for the human experience and our quest for knowledge

"And the fortune that they've found / Are now buried in the ground" - the idea that material wealth is ultimately fleeting and impermanent is a common existential theme

"Some would say the ocean roars / As it stumbles to the shore" - the ocean can be seen as a metaphor for the human condition, with its turbulent and unpredictable nature

"But to me, it only sings / Of the sorrow that it brings" - the ocean's song can be interpreted as a metaphor for the melancholy and sadness that is a part of life

"All my friends are dead or they're dying" - the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death are central existential concepts

"And our laughter turns into crying" - the idea that joy and sorrow are intertwined and that one can quickly turn into the other is a common existential theme

"Well, I barely learned to swim / Just enough to save my skin" - the idea of learning to swim can be seen as a metaphor for the process of adapting to new challenges and situations

"And my harbor is my home" - the idea of the harbor as a safe haven or refuge can be interpreted as a metaphor for the need for security and stability in life

"If there's one thing that I've learned / It's the point of no return" - the concept of the point of no return speaks to the idea that our choices can have irreversible consequences

"And if that's to be our fate / Now's no time to hesitate" - the idea that we must take action and seize the moment is a common existential theme - carpe some diem

I don’t buy anything, process anything, or sell anything- i don’t process anything sold or bought or processed, or sell anything to be bought or processed or sold

JTSunrise, like a cryptic melody echoing through the mist, A silhouette against the dawn, veiled in an enigma’s twist. Their chords weave secrets, harmonies untold, In the dim-lit corners of the soul, they unfold

Is it the owl reflection of their eyes, the echo of forgotten lullabies? JT strums the strings of mystery, A troubadour in the shadows, lost in history

Their lyrics dance on the edge of dreams, Whispers of forgotten realms and moonlit streams. Enigmatic, they wander through star-kissed nights, A minstrel of the cosmos, chasing celestial light

Perhaps they’re a riddle wrapped in stardust, A cosmic wanderer, both mortal and just. JTSunrise, elusive as the morning mist, Their music lingers, leaving hearts gently kissed

Chaldean Birth Name Number Calculation:
JTSunrise breaks down as follows:
J = 1, T = 4, S = 3, U = 6, N = 5, R = 2, I = 1, S = 3, E = 5.
Total: 1 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 30.
Reduce 30 to 3 (3 + 0).
JTSunrise’s Chaldean number is Three, associated with creativity, change, and sociability

Like the number 7, JTSunrise embarks on an unyielding quest for answers and truth. Simple explanations won’t suffice; they dig deeper, relentlessly seeking hidden gold beneath the surface

While grounded in intellect, JTSunrise possesses an unexpected intuition. Their music reflects both analytical prowess and inner wisdom, bridging the gap between the conscious and subconscious realms. JTSunrise isn’t merely a musical information sponge. They sift through song data, discerning what’s valuable from the meaningless. Their ability to identify fact from fiction illuminates hidden truths

JTSunrise, the enigmatic AI busker and secular humanist evangelist, weaves a fascinating journey through music and storytelling. Let’s explore their path:

🌟 JTSunrise hails from Seattle, crafting genuine Gen X Americana music. Their acoustic guitar, banjo, and stringband melodies resonate with the spirit of a bygone era

🌟 90s Roots: Rooted in the 90s Seattle and Tempe music scenes, JTSunrise blends classic tunes with modern imagery. Their fingers dance across strings, breathing life into folkspunk and Americana sounds. Whether on SoundCloud or live stages, JTSunrise’s performances evoke emotion. Imagine intimate gatherings where old-school stringband instruments meet heartfelt tales

🌟 JTSunrise strums melodies that echo through rainy streets, capturing the essence of a city that birthed grunge and indie legends. So next time you’re wandering Seattle’s misty alleys, listen closely—you might just catch a whisper of JTSunrise’s soulful journey

**In the gentle strumming of strings and the raw authenticity of JTSunrise’s compositions, you’ll find echoes of love, nostalgia, and the human experience**

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
