I picked a yellow rose
with the smell you loved
and placed it near the marble stone
i picked a yellow rose
guess you will see it from where you are
it’s a fragile sign of
love

i hear your laughter all around
i see your smile in the clouds
i almost feel you touch my hand
someone we love does not leave us in the end
i picked a yellow rose
guess you will see it from where you are
it’s a fragile sign of
love

i picked a yellow rose
it’s a fragile sign of love

Yellow Rose

The night was cool, as we watched the moon move through the trees
The branches swaying overhead, to the music in the breeze
Now we’re alone, underneath a giant moon of gold
Scattered diamonds in the sky, as the summer night unfolds

I don’t know if i’m awake or am i dreaming
Am i alive or have we reached the gates of heaven
I don’t know, but I’ll never let you go
And We won’t let this feeling end
This is where our life begins

The night was made for me and you
But the morning came too soon
And we can never bring it back into the tune
Our love song underneath the lover’s moon
 
Now the light streams in to the bedroom between the window shades
And the dust it dances in the sun like glitter in the rain
  The room is still, as the sunlight crawls across the floor
Who could be in this paradise,, and ask for any more?

I'd give you all your heart desired if I were able
And leave it all for you here on your bedside table
So you would know, how I hate to see you go
Maybe you’ll remember me, In your lazy summer dreams…

Last night was made for me and you
But the morning came too soon
And we can never bring it back into the view
Faded memories underneath the lover’s moon

Underneath The Lover's Moon

Adagio for Our Times (Remix VIII 3 December 2023)

4th track off of my concept album, "The Wheel."
The God Machine was written, arranged and recorded by Louis Taverna

This story follows a group of young childhood friends as they grow into adulthood and navigate through the experiences that must come with that; the wistful memories of their youth, the death of childhood, love and loss and growing older. However, they eventually discover they are in an illusionary world controlled by an omniscient super intelligence directly affecting every decision or even thought one may have, keeping them locked in an endless loop. Ultimately the friends find their true path and break free after a perpetual night of no reprieve.

This concept album sort of acts as a spiritual successor to my Demo EP "Welcome to the Neighborhood", as some similar musical themes appear in both, mostly used to foreshadow this one.

Thanks for listening, it always means a lot to me.

Into the Darkness She Disappeared

Cast of characters:
RIch O'Brien--  @rich-obrien  -- composition, intro guitar solo
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– third guitar solo  
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell  -- Clave and organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara –Ken–drums, production, and mix
Llanpsych– @llanpsych  –Tez–final guitar solo
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four-string fretless bass and second guitar solo
This song started as a full composition on all instruments by Rich. He asked Josh if he'd be interested in a collaboration with it. Josh jumped at the chance to share it with the Eclectic Collective. So, he invited the gang to join in, replacing most of the original instrumentation, and adding some new. After Ken had added his driving, foundational drums, Josh added his bass to match. JJ soon after cranked up the funk-o-meter by adding his clave and screaming organ. Then, Josh added a guitar solo, which comes in right after Rich's intro. Stephen was up next with his badass licks in the third solo. Then Tez got a hold of it, and ripped a hole in the ether with his guitar in the last solo.

Ken was generous enough to produce and mix this for us. And what an outstanding job he did, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Original song and lyrics by Linda Straub

Let Me Go 
(In memory of my little girl Daisy I just lost)

Lyrics

Mommy it's time to let me go,
I know you heart is breakin'.
You see me everywhere,
in my basket of toys, soft bed I slept in.


I had to rise above this earthly world
and leave all my suffering behind.
Although I hated leaving you,
please know, we'll meet again in time. 

Let me go where I can run free,
my  body healthy and anew.
Picture me the way I used to be,
the way I'll be when next I see you

You gave me such a wonderful life,
and I always felt loved and adored.
I know I made you happy too,
you were my person, and I was yours. 

I know you are crying now,
and don't want to give me up.
The years we spent together
were so precious to this pup.

But now, you need to dry your tears,
and find the strength to let me go.
We'll meet again one day you'll see.
We'll be together forever then.. you and me. 

We'll be together forever then..you and me.


Let Me Go (Original)

That Old Jail Cell


I am drawn to folk, blues, soft rock, and country music, new and old. I love songs that tell a story, especially the Irish, English, and Scottish ballads of long ago because their stories are often timeless, and most everyone at any time can relate to. 
 
I also am a pastel painter and find being able to express universal emotions through my art, as well as writing lyrics and putting them to music that I can sing and play on my guitar or ukelele so rewarding and comforting.

Memories of people, places, and events throughout my life influence the songs I write.
