It’s a joy creating with Stoney (https://soundcloud.com/stonecatcherye) again. He’s a great guitarist, great singer, and writes genuinely evocative lyrics; and he’s the catalyst for today’s ‘stuff to think about’ write-up.

This song is about the various aspects of thinking. We can probably all agree, the mind is a noisy beast. If you’re in a good space, it can be a very loving voice. But if you’re like the rest of us, it can be a cesspool of swirling noise and emotion.

Lets focus in on the word cesspool, and what that suggests. A cesspool is defined as a container of standing liquid, where waste and sewage reside. What keeps it a cesspool? The fact that nothing fresh ever comes in to clear out the pollutants. Its stagnant, and it’s rotting. 

Now let’s superimpose that idea onto our thoughts. As soon as we’re capable of storing thoughts, society is all too happy to fill that storage for us; logically skewed to its perspective. I often ask myself where my ideas came from, and the honest answer is always… elsewhere. There really are no original ideas in our heads; only variations on themes we’ve learned over our lifetimes; combinations of ideas we’ve been influenced (or forced) to accept as true. 

And once the vessel is full, it usually gets left alone. They did their job. We’re somehow now willing to store that refuse on their behalf. Left alone, it becomes stagnant. Without fresh material coming in to stir up the waste, we get trapped with some pretty funky material; probably best not to touch it, but it’s in our heads, and we’re stuck being the keepers of other people’s sewage. It’s all a little dizzying. But what to do?

This is where the ‘Waders of Consciousness’ come in. It’s time to don the rubber pants, head to the deeper parts, and start cleaning the tank. We do this by lifting each idea up (remember to wear gloves), studying it very carefully in the light, and deciding if it’s worth washing off… or if we should permanently dispose of it. This is a big clean-up job, but the benefits are massive. When we’re done, we get to enjoy a clean storage tank; free of all the other people’s garbage we’ve been holding for so many years. Here’s the catch. We have to keep it circulating with fresh ideas in order to keep the stagnancy at bay. It’s a lifetime commitment, but the work is so very worth it. 

Stoney and I hope you enjoy our latest creation, ‘I Think Too Much’. :)

Lyrics:

I think too much, my brain works hard & fast & often still
I lost the touch to feel the sun upon that windowsill
Lost in the rush, my mind is burdened by such overkill
Thoughts turn to dust as I set fire to the matter mill

Why is this always on my mind?

I know that there's problems
You know that there's despair & hate
Thought can bring solutions
Minds should be our saviors & mates

I know that there's secrets
You know that there's revenge & rage
Well, I think we can fix it
You don't think and therefore, don't save

You think too much, your brain works hard & slow at sitting still
Soft to the touch, I say we keep it there, inside your skull

Why is this always on my mind?

I know there's solutions if we keep on digging deep
Buried treasure looting it's right under your feet.

I Think Too Much | Stone Catcherye & GrevusAnjl

original dance track written on a Gibson guitar. Really shallow fun lyrics

Dog In House ...song by doggomuzik

Arfur Tab's Grand Day Out

Nothing 
 I am not nothing
 I am not nothing
 To you
 Nothing
 I am worth something 
 I am worth something
 To you.
#see you in our stars

One More Day

Nothing

I smile at you and all you see
Is darkness surrounding  me
And all this time I'd thought I’d hidden it so well 
I can’t understand how you could tell

But I won’t talk about it 
I won’t let you under my skin
I won’t talk about it 
I’m never gonna let you in

You sit with me when you see I’m alone
Why do I recoil at the kindness in your tone
I know that you’re convinced I need to share
But listen to my silence if you dare

Cos I won’t talk about it 
I won’t let you under my skin
I won’t talk about it 
I’m never gonna let you in

Listen won’t you listen 
You might not always be right
Don’t assume that my position
Didn’t come without a fight
It’s with reason that I push you
Out of mind and out of sight
Sometimes the deadliest of flames
Are the easiest to ignite

I won’t talk about it 
I won’t let you under my skin
I won’t talk about it 
I’m never gonna let you in

I Won't Talk About It

*download and enjoy! or don't!

When I call her uninvited
I catch her undivided
Why do I cry cause 
She cuts her wrists like I did

Why am I so sad 
When I’m so happy
It feels so heavy 
Sitting outside by you
Watching as the world dies

Now we’re getting so excited
But nothing's really happening
Tell me is this really happening

So I ask you to take your mask
You take it all off
So I can kiss you
One last time

You said you’d always try to kill me
If I ever left
But I never left you
You left me

Alone like I was no one
But was I really no one
I thought that I was someone
To you

I thought that we meant something
I thought that this meant something
I did

Now I’m crying like a baby
Asking you to shake me
Or make me feel something real

So I ask you one last time
How do you feel
What do you want
What do you want to do now

Cause you can’t stay undecided
You’ll die crazy dead like I did
Yeah like I did

I'm Sorry
That's just the way it is
Everything will be fine.

Some Humans Ain't Human

Doctor & The Jailer

This is actually two songs.  Each is about 2 minutes long.  The beginning is the very strange "Preheat" to the second song:  Doctor and Jailer.  This second song is mostly country in feel.  Pedal steel is featured in both songs.

Yeah, it's about us.

Lyrics;
Guitars hang like beakers
As the Doctor finds the measure
Mix and transmit through the speakers
What will fill the ear with pleasure

His findings to be shared
With his exclusive confidant
Explaining what he paired
To create the sound he wants

The jailer holds the words
Tightly locked inside his mind
From the righteous to absurd
He'll release what was confined

Doctor sets the atmospherics
And prescribes the melody
The jailer finds the keys to lyrics
And sets the music free

The Doctor and the Jailer
An extraordinary team
Together they will tailor
The tune to fit the dream

Preheat /Doctor and the Jailer

Is it too late to re-set??
Alto saxophones follow clarinet sequence.

:music is art:

:music is my drug:

:beautifully imperfect:

:music is my medicine:

- I see silence as a blank slate | a fresh canvas | an empty sky - 

- sometimes you can say more with music than you can say with words - 

- I typically use my first takes while recording unless I royally mess up -

- I believe in performance & emotion over overproduction & perfection - 

- I probably shouldn’t be telling you all this but then I guess I wouldn’t be staying true to myself if I didn’t - and what’s the point in that -

- the truth is in the flaws -

!STAY BEAUTIFUL!

!STAY SAFE!
