lyrics:

(Madilyn Mei)
Kissin’ the bees, tippin’ the trees
For the ease of a breeze they make 
Crossin at the light, hands held tight
Tonight we’ll make pancakes 

I don’t wanna live in worry 

(Madilyn & Addison) 
Oh no no no
 Not again 
I don’t wanna be a story 
Oh no no no
Not yet 

Sleepin’ in the kitchen
Singin’ in the mornin
Someday when it's over
What is there to tell? 

Carin’ more than I show
Lovin’ more than you know 
But someday when it’s over
What is there to tell? 

(Addison Grace)
I don’t wanna be a tragedy
A means to make amends
I don’t wanna be a memory
A picture, happy end

(Madilyn & Addison)
I don’t wanna be a story
Oh no no no
Not yet

Cats in the backyard 
Drivin’ off to nowhere 
Someday when it's over 
What is there to tell? 

Followin’ in footsteps 
Followin’ a routine 
Someday when you're mourning 
What is there to tell?  

(Addison Grace)
I keep on singing the same songs 

(Addison & Madilyn)
Honey, I know honeymilk cannot drown out the guilt 
Keep saying I wanna move on 
But if I don’t let it last it’ll end just as fast as it started 

(Addison) 
Goin in reverse, days I’ve rehearsed
Finding where I went wrong 

(Madilyn)
Remake my bed, restart my head

(Madilyn & Addison)
Undo it all and all 
I don’t wanna be a story 
Oh no no no 

Sleepin’ in the kitchen (Kissin’ the bees, tippin’ the trees)
Singin’ in the morning (For the ease of a breeze they make)
Someday when it's over (Crossin at the light, hands held tight)
What is there to tell? (Tonight we’ll make pancakes)
Sleepin’ in the kitchen (I don’t wanna be a tragedy) 
Singin’ in the morning (A means to make amends) 
Someday when you're mourning (I don’t wanna be a memory)
A picture, happy end

Lyrics:
Pumpkin head
Flower bed
Just a gourd in a garden
What I’d give
For my own
Flesh and bone
For a day

Silly dreams, are they not?
In the end we all decay and rot
Still I wish to live outside
This hollowed head of mine
Did I exist if I was only ever thoughts? 

Time is fleeting, seasons change
I’m a fool, but still I pray
For my own flesh and bone for one day

Promise You Won't Scream

Lyrics:
I must be a sheep in wolf’s clothing
I wanna be mean
Haven’t found my growl
If you follow me I wont know what to do
Planned on following you
Planned on following you

I’ll blow your house down
If that’s what all the other wolves do
And I try I try I try I try I try
To fake my way
To become brave
To howl at the moon
To be just like you

I think I’m a sheep in wolf’s clothing
Only thought I think I’ve thought for myself
One day my whole brain had fallen out of my pocket 
Now it collects dust on a shelf

I’ll blow your house down
If that’s what all the other wolves do
And I try I try I try I try I try
To prove my place
To change my face
To do what you do

I’ll blow your house down
If that’s what all the other wolves do
And I lie I lie I lie I lie awake at night
Counting all my old friends as I try to fall asleep
Forgot what they, what they, what they, what they look like
I hope that they have not forgotten me

Lyrics:
Nice to meet you
I’m a cryptid
I don’t scare off many children
They just laugh it makes me livid
I’m not scary
Like I should be
Play with dolls when
No one’s looking

Dad is Bigfoot
Mom is Nessie
Can’t just say “I tried my best,” see
They're expecting so much more I
Couldn’t care less, but I still try
I’ll go hairless
Grow some more eyes

Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you

They see right through me
Can I blame them?
Till I scare ‘em, I stay nameless
Movies set the bar too high
I need a win before I die
I can’t begin to want to try
Yet I still do

Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you
Nice to meet you

At the naming ceremony
Everyone else, their lives were all forming
But maybe I’ll earn it

At the naming ceremony
(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m…)
What if my parents loathe me? Disown me?
(Who am I? Oh, who do I think I am? Think I am?)
If I don't earn it

At the naming ceremony
(I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m…)
Should've been gifted, should've been perfect
(What’s my name?)
But I couldn't even learn it

At the naming ceremony
Nobody told me congratulations

I didn’t earn it
I don’t deserve it

Nice to meet you
I’m a cryptid
Chose my own name
Now I’m Mildred
It’s no “Mothman”
“Chupacabra”
But it’s mine and
I deserve it
It’s my name and
I deserve it
It's my own and
I deserve it

Cryptid

Original Song based on Psalm 121.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in
 
Verse 1:
He watched over Israel and He will watch over me
My God will not slumber, indeed, He doesn’t sleep
He’s the shade at my right hand, the sun can’t hurt by day
and the moon at night, can’t harm me in any way

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in

Verse 2:
I have heard Your promises and believe they’re set in stone
but I forget I’m your daughter and You’re King on the throne
Sing my soul to the Lord of Hosts, Trust in the Most High
Through the hills and the valleys, in Him my hope lies

Chorus:
I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from? It comes from Him
He made the heaven, earth and what’s within
God guards my going out and coming in

It Comes From Him - Psalm 121 (Original Song)

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

She's Losing It - Tom Régnier/Jussi Welin/Mark J Bennett/Boon-Suzuki

1972 - This was recorded 'Live' at KPFK Studio's, in Los Angeles - 
The accompanying photo is, in fact, of Natasha -
I wouldn't find out for 40 years 
That my manager, had fixed me up with a Russian 'Escort' - 
In hopes of getting a fabulous Romantic 'Russian-inspired' love song 
It resulted in by far the most sophisticated piano piece I'd written  
Maybe I was 'onto' something with the line;
"The Baltic Never Seemed Like This"
I didn't even know the names of some of the chords  
But mymanager paid for the studio time - 
And We - Peter Noah & Marvin Goodfriend & I 
All made lovely musical contributions but...
For me - This version is crazy rigid 
& really needs to loosen-up 

https://soundcloud.com/richardgoldman-music/natasha

I'll work on a Dean Martin version of it - 
And learn the names to all the chords - I promise

NATASHA '72

This week, a special road trip episode.  OHR visits Rogers, Arkansas’ Railyard Live Concert Series featuring singer-songwriters Will Gunselman & Ashtyn Barbaree recorded live at Butterfield Stage in Railyard Park in historic downtown Rogers.  Also, an interview with Ozark original Will Gunselman.

Rogers, Arkansas’ Railyard Live Concert Series began in 2021.  Held on the city’s Butterfield Stage next to Railyard Park in historic downtown Rogers, it features live concerts every weekend throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall.  All of the Railyard Live events are either free to the public or at very low cost of admission.  The concert series features a wide array of musical styles and interests designed to appeal to the diverse population of Rogers and invite them to experience the newly revitalized Railyard Entertainment District.  The Ozark Folk Center State Park and the City of Rogers, Arkansas partnered to bring Ozark Highlands Radio to capture a little slice of this modern Ozark culture.

Will Gunselman is a singer-songwriter from Bella Vista, Arkansas.  Will’s vivid writer’s voice along with his unique style invents an honest and authentic Ozark story.  Honing his art through decades of live performance, Will has crafted a simple sound that is modern and relatable but reveals a rich patina of life lived.  Although plaintive, his music, rooted in folk, country and blues, dwells on the positive nature of experience and seeking joy in the everyday.  Like traversing the river Will ardently describes in his song Buffalo River Run, sitting with a set of his music is a journey bent with scenic vistas of the soul.

Ashtyn Barbaree is an internationally touring gritty Americana singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Fayetteville, Arkansas.  Sweet, soulful, charming and relatable, her lyrics have found their way into the hearts of folks from all walks of life.  She has a smokey, yet silky voice accompanied with harmonies, guitar, tenor 8-string ukulele, upright bass, pedal steel, drums and piano.

In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1981 archival recording of bluegrasser Lenny Wallace performing the tune “Take Your Shoes Off Moses,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.

In this week’s guest host segment, renowned traditional folk musician, writer, and step dancer Aubrey Atwater explores the theme of riddles and trick questions in traditional folk music.

Lyrics:

If we split up the group
Can I be paired with you?
Not for any reason
Other than the fact I think
We make for a good team
A side story or two
Slay a couple dragons together
and I can’t help but 
I can’t help but think that
maybe you and me
could kinda sorta
I’m not sure where this sentence is going
Um

I can’t help but think that
Maybe you and I
Could possibly try
To take on a side quest sometime

If we split from the team
But you wanna follow me
Or I could follow you
Come on let’s do our own thing

I sound like such a flirt
But usually this works
Something about you just leaves me all fidgety 
Speechless and wishing we were
Something a little bit more than the friends that we are
But I’ll take this if it means I get
To be around you 

I wanna make stories to put on a shelf
I wanna protect who can’t protect themself
I wanna do everything I can and more
So do you accept my side quest or-

I wanna make stories to put on a shelf
I wanna protect you when you can’t yourself
I wanna do everything I can and more
So do you accept my side quest or-
Do I gotta woo you a little bit more?

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Being in this space has made me feel
A bit more small and I'm not quite sure where I'm goin' next
I'll try to use a map but with directions I tend to be bad so
I'll use GPS and pray for the best

[Verse 1]
I've got so many years to flesh this out and be what I wanna be
But it's confusing to say the least
No perception of time or space or distance to read
And I think I'm going insane
Due to graduate and remain a beast

[Chorus]
And oh whoa I just want you to know whoa
I feel so brain dead next to you
It's not like you intended to
Hurt me or make me feel that way
And I'm not tryin' to complain
But it just sucks to try and explain
Why I feel like this everyday

[Bridge]
1, 2, 3, 4!
Sleepin' through your days and skippin' meals
Must sound so unappealing
But I guess it's different when it's the norm
Sinking deeper into whatever this is without a hint of reflection
Can't tell if this is the calm or if this is the storm
Giving everything I've got
Equates to about a shower and wakin' up late

[Verse 2]
When I'm faced with anything I tend to flee
So when I'm thrown into the adult world
Where they do things that I never learned how to do
I guess I'll live in a swamp or a tree

[Chorus]
And oh I just hope you all know whoa
I feel so brain dead next to you
It's not like you intended to
Hurt me or make me feel that way
And I'm not tryin' to complain
But it just sucks to try and explain
Why I feel like this everyday

[Outro]
My brain is surrounded by school kids
Who all got their valedictorian course
While I can't care enough about my 3.8
No matter how hard I try
I'm still not trying hard enough to be great

Release Date:
9 April 2020

"Touch Starved" is an indie pop song about being touch deprived and over-romanticizing every physical interaction.
