@pj-project-1: Thanks, nice change of direction for a moment.

Thank you Beach Boys, Pink Floyd and 10CC for being my loving childhood friends. Who else would have spent so many hours in my headphones with me? And thank you Jonathan Beckenstein for being my now friend and for joining me for this song. You understand it completely.

Hang on to Each Other

Brian Wilson said to hang on to your ego             
But I don’t know if that’s the answer
Disintegration might be what the doctor ordered    
And anyway it doesn’t matter
We should just hang on to each other

Communication is the problem to the answer       
We do for love what’s necessary
Sometimes the white flag is the only one that matters    
When you think love is worth repairing
Then we can hang on to each other

Inside we hear a siren screaming
Inside the walls are fortifying
The words like bullets over parapets and trenches
Fire off all your cannons or surrender

The lunatic is in the hall but I am thinking      
That he could use an invitation
Words on the wing like pigs and dogs and laughing gremlins
Bounce harmless off our best intentions
And we will hang on to each other
We will hang on to each other        
We will hang on

Hang On to Each Other - with Jonathan Beckenstein

Originally recorded by Kellie and Zeph a few years back, I immediately fell in love with this tune, and wrote and asked for stems to remix. Having too much respect for the song but not much skill to do what I want with the tune it ended lying in a folder of unfinished projects. 
That is until I got a surprise visit from a woman close to my heart but far away in body, at a party we had here, and we needed sitting around the fireplace spirittalking about the things we have gone through each on our own since the was originally released pretty much.. 
Somehow she put the fire in me to make good on my promise to make remix of this, an still not having the means or equipment instead, opted to ask my friends to contribute, of which this stunning beatless version from Radio Fesklogs very own Contepella is the first of at least four to be released in the weeks leading up to Christmas God willing.
And I still really want to make a really banging peaktime house remix of this.. I hear it is in there!

How To Lie With Statistics.  2021 Janine Levinson

You take the bottom
You take the top
You take the middle
And add them up
Then you divide
So everyone is average

And then you talk 
About it all
You make it so
You smooth it out
If you don't speak
Don't say the word
Then it won't be

May it never be

The sound of the word makes you average
And when you say the word it makes you average
And time will see what becomes of me
'Cause I don't believe in average

And so you speak
You speak the word
Then everyone is indistinct
The twenty-four, the ninety-three
The thirty-five, the seventeen

And not a one will hear his name
But instead will stand in line
And just because the world is round
Will join their hands and always rhyme

The sound of the word makes you average
And when you say the word it makes you average
And time will see what becomes of me
'Cause I don't believe the averages

Average things in a special design
Special things in an average design
Some times in your life, in your lifetime
Special things in a special design

You take the bottom
You take the top
You take the middle
You add them up
Then you divide
So everyone is average

And then you talk 
About it all
And wonder what
What can it mean
To then divide 
To find the mean
Of ninety five and seventeen

The sound of the word makes you average
When you say the word it makes you average
I don't believe in average

How to Lie with Statistics

THE ONLY ONE
(DWS - 2022)

Some day,
Some day when my life is done
I’ll remember you as the only one

Some day
Some day I’ll realize what you’ve done for me
And I’ll love you like the only one

Some day
Some  day I’ll Hear your voice and sigh 
crying unashamed for my only one
 
Some day
Some day when my life is done
I’ll remember you as the only one

When I hear your voice I sing
all the little things that made every thing
Some day I’ll know what you have done
shine your light on everyone

The Only One

THE ONLY ONE

There is good and evil in each of us. We see this every day, looking inside ourselves, into our heart, into our soul, into our inner mirrors. Sometimes we see good there, but sometimes evil.  I want to dedicate this track to all the good people who gave their lives in this eternal war. In a sense, this track is a requiem for the passing World, as I knew it.

Inner Mirrors

Thank you Jonathan for adding your wonderful guitars!!

OKAY I WON'T                 Janine Levinson 2022

Guitars: Jonathan Beckenstein @jonathan_beckenstein
Song, bass, keys, vocals: me

Don't be sad    
Don't be shy    
Don't give yourself to every guy

Don't be hard 
Don't be small            
Don't be anything at all

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But there's one thing 
I won't be me!

Don't be weak   
Do what's right   
Don't stay out too late at night

Don't be fat 
Don't be lazy  
Keep your mouth shut 
Don't act crazy

Okay Mom, I won't      
Okay dad, I'll be     
Just what you want
But just one thing 
I won't be me!

Time will tell if you destroyed me
Or just simply took my joy
Could it be that I annoy you
Or did you wish you had a boy?

Don't be me
Just be them
Satisfy their every whim

Don't be real,
Don’t be ferocious
Don't reveal my real emotions

Okay Mom I won't
Okay Dad I'll be
Your nice little girl
But just one thing
I won’t be me!

Okay I Won't  -with Jonathan Beckenstein

SIMULACRA - Music and arrangement by Zeph Daniel. 
Lyrics by Zeph Daniel and Kellie Rowley.

The Girl: 
What do you mean?
when did  I wake up?  ( I will not assimilate)
I never went to sleep.  (oh, I've seen that show. I love that show)
I saw something like through a window.
I wanna to go back there. I know I can and I will.
My family? I don't have a family. I have people who mind me.
You know who I am. I'm an actress, or I was.
Thank you. I'm glad you approve.
but I'm not going back.
I saw something. I saw another world. A world you've  tried to block from me, from all of us.
What do you need me for?
Please. do not keep throwing family, friends and fans in my face.
I don't care anymore. 
This is some kind of sick joke, Your sick joke. 
Wait a second. Stay away from me. Get your hands off me. I'm not going anywhere in that. 
What is that?
 Some sort of space bus?
I've never seen that before, I've never seen any of this before. 

On Her way:

Once I was a real girl, flesh and blood with a string of pearls around my neck
now the silver thread is wireless and to the grid I connect

There's a glitch in the system, I can see the light
coming from under the door ajar
There's a misfire in my synapses, but I am afar
Simulacra, Simulacra.

In the room adjacent to the room adjacent to the room adjacent to the room: ( I wish this was funny)

Ba bap bah ba . bap  ba bah. (Simulacra, Simulacra)

Now, you're safe, Now you're home. You were never alone
Now you're safe, Now you're home. You will never be alone.
Now you're safe, one of us. You will never be alone.
Now you're safe, Now you're home. You will never be alone.

Finished Product:

Fire it up. Lets get on the wheel. This place , this a box within a box within a box, within in a box.
Wait. I was remembering something, what was it?

Wandering through a forest of ones
Cold and alone; the comfort of zeroes
Ones and zeroes

Up overhead, the pattern of ones
Flat and arranged; the rhythm of zeroes
Ones and zeroes

At night I dream of the analog

Keep your thoughts to yourself
Hide your thoughts for yourself
Keep the thoughts in your head

Spend your thoughts on yourself
Keep your mind to yourself
Thoughts are all we have left
. . . all we have

Mining my soul for pieces of gold
File me away;  a matrix of zeroes
Ones and zeroes

At night I dream of disorganization
The chaos of heartbeats
The mayhem of breathing
And the rhythm of digestion

Keep your thoughts to yourself
Hide your thoughts for yourself
Keep the thoughts in your head

Keep your mind to yourself
Hide your thoughts for yourself
Keep your thoughts in your head

This is an old hymn with a bit of modern twist. 
SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD
Words-Daniel Iverson/arrangement K. Rowley

Em                 C                   D                     Em
Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me
Spirit of the living God fall fresh on me

(outro after final verse)
Break me,                       mold me 
fill me,                            hold me

O BREATH OF LIFE
Words- Betsy Porter Head/arrangement K. Rowley

O breath of life come sweeping thro 
Revive thy church with life with power
O breath of life come cleanse, renew 
And fit thy church to meet this hour

O wind of God come bend us, break us
Till humbly we confess our need
Then in thy tenderness remake us
Revive, restore for this we plead		chorus

O breath of love come breathe within 
Renewing thought and will and heart
Come love of Christ afresh to win 
Revive thy church in every part

Revive us Lord is zeal abating
While harvest fields are vast and white?
Revive us Lord, the world is waiting
Equip thy church to spread thy light
						chorus

O Breath Of Life

This is the place where I put my songs, some unfinished, some done so much you will be wishing for a fork to taste the succulent and maybe stir a little. 

O Breath Of Life
