I added this track to my Peaceful Moments playlist 👏👏

I really like 3/4 signature. I think It can bring a touch of melancholy in a song like here. Beautiful

---------------

I heard this story a long time ago
i heard it before, and now i am long gone

I faced my demons and now i'm back strong
not headstrong, at some point i was wrong

butterfingers, we lost control
we slipped away and run away

i cross my fingers, we won't mess it up 
again this time, i hope you'll be fine

you were so sloppy and gave it up
i hope you remember, that i was your crutch

next thing you know, was to lose control
and now you crawl, to save your soul

Weirdo

I strained my wrist playing guitar while practicing a new piece I hope to post in a month or two, so in the meantime I decided to freshen up a short piece I had on SC from a few years ago. It’s a simple melody, a musical meditation, towards peace; the dove of peace carries this message, through many cultures and religions. Peace is needed now, more than ever. Hope you may spend 2 minutes with me to meditate.
PS. Wasn't able to master this with clarity, so headphones/earphones best.

Peace Dove

In recent years I have the habit of converting poems into songs and here is one of them which is based on “Alone” by Edgar Allan Poe.  It was said that this poem was never published in his lifetime.  I think I first shared this song here about four years ago.  In this version, I enhanced the backing music and did the vocals all over again.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
From childhood's time I’ve not been
As others were, I have not seen
As others saw, I could not bring
My passions from a common spring

From the same source I've not taken
My sorrow, I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone
And all I loved, I loved alone

[CHORUS]
Then, in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still
The torrent or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
in its autumn tint of gold

From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by
From the thunder and the storm
And the cloud that took the form

Repeat Chorus

Autumn Tint of Gold

Frida's Wings – The Valse 
April 2024
Duration: 3:10
Painting: Frida Kahlo Painting Self Portrait.
Remix of Vals Alejandra by Enrique Mora
Music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) who will be performing Frida's Wings, a ballet based on the life and works of Frida Kahlo, June 2024 in Colorado.
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.  Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. She is also known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. In most of her self-portraits, she depicts her face as mask-like, but surrounded by visual cues which allow the viewer to decipher deeper meanings. Aztec mythology features heavily in Kahlo's paintings in symbols including skeletons and skulls.  In the painting, Dream of The Bed, painted in the year of 1940, Frida expressed her feeling and interception of death, which depicts a skeleton on the canopy of her bed (as she had in her real life). Her husband, Diego Rivera called the Juda, Frida's lover, but Frida said it's just an amusing reminder of people's mortality. Frida Kahlo spent much of her life in pain.  As As a teenager she suffered a horrific bus accident which left her unable to have children and meant she needed more than 30 operations on her spine. Eventually her withered leg had to be amputated and she died at 47. She said in her diary: “Feet, why do I need you, if I have wings to fly”
For strings, piano, accordion and percussion.

Frida's Wings - Valse

when i was a boy many years ago, one hot summers day.
my friends and i were walking down, a narrow country road.
feeling dizzy and about to faint, i found myself looking down on us.
my spirit was free and hovering above and that's when i saw the truth.

even though they are joined as one, they can separate.
the secrets of the body and soul, are the key to your ultimate fate...... the key to your ultimate fate.

many people have had one of these, it's called an O.B.E.
when we die and in our body, we will struggle to set ourselves free.
i don't know if we will all succeed, but i know it's possible.
so could it be, how we behave, could decide our life beyond the grave.

even though they are joined as one, they can separate.
the secrets of the body and soul, are the key to your ultimate fate...... the key to your ultimate fate.

The secrets of the body and soul.  (O.B.E)

Cast of Characters:

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – foundational acoustic and electric guitars, distorted electric guitar, and the seed idea
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– 5-string banjo solo, electric guitar
Mistermark – @the user-432503709 – Mark – vocals, lyrics, high organ, toy piano, percussion, sound effects, production, editing, mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- low organ, piano, synth flute, sound effects
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums, percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began its life as a hauntinly exquisite guitar chord progression that Tez came up with and shared with the rest of us. He also stacked a couple of other guitar tracks in there for good measure. Ken was first up, adding his drums, then later his pots and pans percussion. As he was doing that, Josh was coming up with his bass line, and they did their little dance of back and forth until the rhythm section was set. Mark came in around the same time, though, and added his unique, Waitsian vocals with the lyrics that he wrote for it, too. He also added some really amazing organ parts, a toy piano which you can hear right after the bajo solo, and percussion that add a solid foundation for his voice and add magic throughout the song. Stephen followed shortly after with the big stroke guitar chords, and also came up with the amazing banjo solo you hear in there, too. Last, but not least, JJ came in with his organ and electric piano to seal the deal with the melodies and ambience. Then he and Mark added the cool sound effects you hear throughout, too.
  Every great song needs a great producer, and Mark filled the duty on this one. He has proved himself to be a masterful editor, producer, and mixer, and we are lucky to have him as part of the team.
  This one is an homage to Tom Waits in a deliberate way. We're all big fans, and tried to do something in his unique style. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original lyrics by Mistermark:
I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
A little like a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hangin’ it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone

Me and Bill rolling bones in a gambling hall 
I threw snake eyes but Bill counted three
I took his accusation just a little too far 
Then everybody went quiet as they stared at me

Now the finger bone’s connected to the trigger
And the hand bone’s connected to me
And every day my secret’s gettin’ bigger
Soon enough I’ll be swinging from a tree

Coz I got something hidden in my closet 
that I don’t want you to see 
I done made a shady deposit
And it’s bound to incriminate me

Well now some might call it a skeleton 
Like a raincoat filled with bones
See I been hiding it there since I don’t know when
And I just can’t leave it alone
(repeat)

Lies and Deceit

G	  Gm	    G7		   C
Lies and Deceit, you were sly as a fox
C			      G
How could I know the game you play?
G	  Gm	    G7		   C
Anger and grief and trust just disappeared
C		  G
Station call, no reply

Did you really think you'd get away with this?
    A                E
it all looks like a hit and miss
  C9	     F9
Stuck in the limousine

Angels and muses, songs in disguise
please take off your tight mask
Balancing challenges, how can you sleep
White-knuckled down to the bone

Bullet ripped your ear
But here you are
Keep your eyes on the getaway car
How dark can this story get?

Did you really think you'd get away with this?
it all looks like a hit and miss
Stuck in the limousine

Lies and deceit, clouding our minds
The library is burning
Closing a deal, sealing a pledge
who do you think you are fooling?

Lies an deceit

Vesica Piscis encoded artwork. Can you see this fabulous shape, the "mind's eye"?

Recognition of sacred geometry, the humble circle, pie, mathematics and it's direct connection/joining with music (Fibonacci series cf Pentatonic scale).
To our forefathers, who sought and gave us perfection with the Sexagesimal system and the importance of ratios. Upon which time and shape is still measured, secretly, in plain sight..
As the world turns and a new day begins, the cycle repeats. The night's sky a constant reminder if we just look up;  the patterns found everywhere in nature like a simple flower; the rhythm and patterns in music if we tune in and listen carefully enough.
When two are joined perfectly to form the "mind's eye", two become three and new life is born and so it goes on, and on, and on...
Recent life events have made me share this once again.
