Original Instrumental: Monkey Parts

Jon shared “Monkey Parts” with me while we were discussing an unreleased track we were working on. Jon’s original track instantly inspired me and the lyrics easily flowed onto the paper (actually I write all my lyrics in Apple Notes, lol) and then into GarageBand (using my Apple headphone mic to everyone who mixes my vocals exasperation). I held onto the unmixed track for a while (really for no good reason besides it wasn’t in the stars’ plan until now) and then finally worked up the urge to “git er done.” 

As for the lyrics, the last time I had anything weed related was probably 11 years ago in California. At that time, all things marijuana were relatively easy to acquire since many of my friends had “doctor’s notes” to go to the medical dispensaries. It was fun to try all the new novel dope products people were making and selling. Since living in Oregon, for over 6 years now, I have not once thought about partaking in the herb, even though I can easily walk to several cannabis stores from my home. I think there are more pot stores in the Portland area than convenient stores, I do not live in a reefer desert, lol. But still, I was inspired to write a song about maryjane.

Lyrics:
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

I was feeling alright my baby
Until you ruined my vibe with crazy
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling alright my people
Until ya’ll ruined my vibe with fecal
Specially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

But I shoulda saw it coming 
Now my Karma’s got me running  
Fruitions always gunning 
This life
Future life 
Past bad acts got me on slumming
Always on the worry 
On what I am becoming

So with my right thumb and my two right fingers 
I set my intention as I’m foldin’ up the papers
Right right right right

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
Interlinked eternally
Yea Yea Yea

I was feeling stressed out my baby
And then I lifted my vibe with hazy 
Breaking bad habits is not easy
Yea Yea Yea

When I’m feeling stressed out my people
I gotta lift my vibe pineal
Especially when my mind is feeble 
Yea Yea Yea

Yea some say it’s in the dirt
But It don’t matter when it hits it still hurts
Attracted by ya’ll hertz 
Best to sit still
Keep chill
Let the mind go inert 
Purify ’til the soul reverts

Use my thumbnail to press down and tuck the edges
I set my intention and seal it with some praises 
Right right right right
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

We was smoking our karma 
We was smoking our karma 
Many happy returns, yea

Thinkin’ of a sushi roll
Thinkin’ of a sushi roll

Good intentions in my high
Good intentions floating by 
My vibe guides me through the knot 
My vibe guides me

BLUE MONDAY

Sunday night the tension is more than I can bare
Time moves slowly as I count down the hours
A load off of me as I walk out the door
This ain’t no 
This ain’t no 
This aint no blue Monday

Wake up and change your believing 
Wake up and see 
You don't have to live a life of  feeling blue to spite the green
Wake up and change your life 
Like  you want it to be
 You don't have to wait 'til you die 
To live the life you need

Just live the life you need

Thursday night pressure’s low I’m breathing again
Time is moving why can’t I just press pause 
I’m comin home, I’m putting my helmet on 
This ain’t no
This ain’t no
This ain’t no blue Monday

Wake up and change your believing 
Wake up and see 
You don't have to live a life of  feeling blue to spite the green
Wake up and change your life 
Like  you want it to be
 You don't have to wait 'til you die 
To live the life you need

Just live the life you need

Oh, I'm a ghost, oh, you the most
Oh, I want a Blue Monday
Oh, just give me a Blue Monday

Oh, I'm a freak, oh you're disease
Just give me a blue Monday 

Just give me a blue Monday
Just give me one
Just give me one
Just give me one blue Monday

Wake up and change your believing 
Wake up and see 
You don't have to live a life of  feeling blue to spite the green
Wake up and change your life 
Like  you want it to be
 You don't have to wait 'til you die 
To live the life you need

Live the life you need

Vocals and Lyrics Ian Greaves aka IPG1 (@ipg1)

Lyrics:
This that acid drop - mind corrupt
Drop that purple microdot
Fear not - if the time stops -
and the clock refuse to TikTok
Full throttle — speeding - roadblock
brain cell just don’t give a fuck
Tie dye - sandals — dreadlocks
Woodstock — type — Hip-Hop
mesmerized by the kilowatt
my brain — become a hotspot
Am I human — Am I God —
preparing for — the aftershock
the aftershock — the aftershock
Hell yeah — and why not — it’s still that purple
microdot — microdot — microdot
Chorus
Think twice before you say no
Charisma — come on let’s go
The moves — without Ego
The smile — or the combo
It’s good times — and Convo
Cant avoid it - so you want some more
The allure — of an outlaw (X3)
Guitar riffs and jazz lines — like rainbows and sunshine
No limits no guidelines — I’ll start off with a peace sign
don’t even try to undermine — Or I’ll peal back your hairline —
Love it when the stars align — You know I’mer get mine
time stop — brain cells begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot
God status — here we go at last — 
from the bottom to the top — break that hour glass —
So why you think your teeth are shattering — so damn fast
It a personal experience — a one man class
No sleep for those who know — the afterglow
Are Y’all ready for the show — Y’all ready for the show…..
no malice establish — and it’s hitting on the spot
A God’s made — for love — that — purple microdot
This that aftershock — that aftershock — that aftershock
From that acid drop — Mind corrupt — Mind corrupt
time stop — brain cell begin to pop
From the bottom to the top — a mental — hotspot
Mesmerizing sound — kicking kilowatts
From that purple microdot — From that purple microdot
——Chorus ——
Feeding off the sound like a starving vampire
music in my blood turns a spark into fire
The progeny of lyrics — rhythm tunes — desire
Made to Pierce your soul — like a suit of Bob-wire
Hang tight and ride this storm of — forget me Nut
Left-brain — right track — it’s called — purple microdot
And you know I’ll be back here — from — time to time
Fucking with your mind — at the drop of a dime
Underground— under the tongue— paint a mental picture
yo—you’ll never really know when the acids gonna hit y

Here's a song that I had written the music for a couple years ago, with some contributions from The OASPM.   Rekha heard it and came up with these lyrics and the vocal melody.   We added the new funky intro and then remixed/produced it. This is the outcome of all that rigamarole - "Just Want To Tell You"

Intro
Darling you know
I’ve got something to tell you
You know I love you so
Just want to tell you
How much you mean to me
But I’m sure you already know it

You always give me
The strength I need
You’re always showing it
Just how much you care

And I just want to tell you
How much I love you
With all my heart
I’m going to give you my all

Yeah I’m going to
Give you my all
All of my love
You know I want to, to
Wo Oh Oh Oh

Honey you, bringing my life
You’re bringing my life
To the happiest of highs
And I just want to thank you
For every, everything you’re doing
It’s true, it’s true
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

I’ve got to tell you
Your good loving
Makes me feel like I’m
Your Shining Star
Yeah, I’m your only one
Your Babe for life
For giving me, giving me
A reason to live
Ah Oh Oh, Yeah Ee Yeah

Sugar, hope you’ll always be there
Always be by my side
Always holding me tight
I’m yours, I am yours
Feeling you so deep

Lyrics

I just wanted to get out of the house for a day or two
I got my little backpack out of the closet
and put It on
put my thumb out on the road
and I was gone
And the next thing that I know
I'm standing In the middle of new Mexico
one thousand miles and two months down the line
Along a two lane blacktop ln the desert sun-
A bus A bus
with a destination of infinity
comes by and stops right ln front of me
and as l board, l begin to spout a verse of poetry that l know nothing about
and lt does not belong to me
ln someone else's voice
l did not seem to have a choice--

(The poem, by Jo Rlchter)
------
To feed the foodless
you require fire
but how do you nourish
those wanting a mind of their own?
do you mess up their lives
with Olympian lre
or serve them a dish
of the altered kind-
The old one who spoke made pause dramatic
then asked the question
ln a very low voice
or would you invoke
an old myth cathartic
to force into action
To colour each cholce
The divine assembly
all nodded their chins
and sald "Sanat Kumara"
you've got what lt takes
We'll teach some Hag ln Albuquerque
The ropes of how the dumplings begins
and these guys will come from near and far
to taste the wondrous dish she makes
------
Stu sald: Turn this Bus around
we're Albuquerque Bound
This guy just sald
there's a dumpling cooking ln that town
You may ask why some of us are looking for another paradigm
Trying to stop the world for just a moment
searching quietly as l think
Pessimism ls completely underrated
lt's lt's own worst enemy
as emotions go
There's just the wind ln the windows
Remlnlcent of distant overlapping chatter
of souls that came before and after
as we're all staring ln disbelief
at the panorama through the Stink

New Mexico(As we're just Starin)- from "The Quest for the Holy Dumpling"#5 --The Smoklng Trout

Was happy to participate in another Josh Clary jam!  
This one has an awesome vocal from Steve's Planet and the usual line up brings it here as well with...
Josh on the monster bass
Tez ripping the guitar rhythm and leads
Ken pounding out the beatz and 
JJ making it pretty with those keys. 
I was able to work in the solo in the second half and, with the help of K2 Ken get out a solid production with a nice mix and master.   I believe Tez may have added a bit as well to the post production. 

Basically it was really a true group effort.   Josh is really good with keeping things group focused and having the whole band work within his idea and vision for a song and yet still having the ability to contribute your own unique sounds.

Another fun time with a great group!

Upon The Rock (feat. Cosmic Keanu)

TOKYO - ΤΟΚΙΟ

YOU'RE HIDING

I know you're hiding 
behind the passage of time 
to avoid the clash 
your reflection in the mirror 

you want to escape the fate 
that I read in your hands 
to make your own way
to become someone 

and I know the reasons 
that make you smile 
when you're in pain 
I know your demons 
that drive you to lie 
when you want us to love you 

but I want you to know 
that I remain ice-cold 
to all the coin tosses 
that you throw at my face

I know where you're hiding
to cover your tracks 
i don't want your place 
it's your life you're wasting 

and I know the reasons 
that drive you to lie
when you feel hatred
I know your demons 
that make you smile
when you want us to love you 

I know you hide 
behind the passage of time 
to avoid a clash 
your reflection in the mirror 

but I want you to know 
that I remain ice-cold 
to all those coin tosses 
you throw at my face
