good vibes abound on this excellent track

lively and rich track that captures the heart of its namesake. The keyboard shines with their soulful solos, while the rhythm keeps everything flowing smoothly. The percussion adds a natural, earthy vibe, making the whole piece feel warm and inviting. A beautiful blend of sounds that brings this track to life.

its like a prickly cactus, for wherewithal you should not want to lick it.  However, the thought survives.

Alchemy and Stones
By David Husted

V1

Your an alchemist shaping my world
metal and leaf, herbs and fire
Your the pestle to ground the root
To shake my truth, without gun powder
   
ch                      
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

V2
And the stones of philosophers
The secrets of flowers golden
The halls of wise, the dreams that lie behind
The paradise we long for

ch
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

Rock Bridge

Ch Quiet

You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me
                
V3

You take my cynical, my rigid , my narrow mind stiffening
You mix me it in your crucible, release internal conflicts
I'm tired of being wrapped up in my revolutions
Un-dress me take me inside your peaceful evolution

Your peaceful evolution
Your peaceful evolution
 

Ch  
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might

Love You

I have a new song release scheduled for 13 DEC 24 called Alchemy and Stones. 

In one of my past song journal entries my word of the day was amalgam and I threw in the word alchemy for good measure.  During the lyric building process for this song my brain seemed to be still heavily steeped in the essence of these words. They were percolating through my thought streams. Much of the lyrical content contains imagery associated with this chemistry of the past and its mythic symbols. Our messy world provided additional ingredients that fell into the steaming crucible and began to round out this song into its final state.

There were four different songs that fed my creative spark and development process.  They were the following:

Spoon: Wild
James McMurtry: Canola Fields
Fruit Bats: Waking Up in Los Angeles
Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero

Deep bow of gratitude to all these artists.  My primary reference for the arrangement was Wild and it had the deepest structural influence on the song. The McMurtry song helped me hit on an idea for the chorus melody that seemed to stick with me and I liked his vocal delivery and cadence. The Fruit Bats was really not used at all but I loved the ohhhs in the chorus and wanted to find a way to emulate the laid back ease of them in my song.  However, my particular song style, tempo and arrangement just never allowed an entry point. The Fruit Bats song did keep the juices flowing though so that is why it still receives honorable mention in this write-up.

Finally, the  song by Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero did have a role in my song believe it or not.  If you listen to one of the synths you will hear a gated pumping sound courtesy of an Auto Pan and a Phaser-Flanger Plug-in. I really should thank a Music Producer named Ill Factor for teaching me the sound design process here. He demonstrated the technique in a YouTube video. Pretty cool.  As I have said before, I learn something new in every new song I build.  It is always deeply enjoyable for me. I also appreciate you for leaning in and listening. I wish you all the very best.

Thank You

Have a Great Weekend,  

Dave

LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
I gave you love
It filled the air
You vanished quick
Like you weren’t there
You left me tangled
Threads undone
You keep me strung
But then you run

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

(Verse 2)
I asked for care
You gave me none
Your silence weighed a thousand tons
I held my heart out in the sun
You keep me strung
But then you run

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

(Bridge)
Was I a moment
Just a fling
A song you hum but never sing
I won’t be left
Undone
Unsung
You keep me strung
But now I’ve sprung

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me
