Bear Of A Man (Acoustic Demo)

Music and lyrics by J. Marcus Dahlström.

We may think that there's tomorrow
That it will be most like yesterday
We may think that it will be, 
most likely, like yesterday 

Yes, we may think that we have tomorrow
To solve our troubles of today
We may think that it will be,
a simple task, another day 

But today, I really wished I had told you
Already told you how I feel
That I had thrown, my precaution to the side,
So I could love you everyday . . .

Angel created a remix of one my jams. I thought it would be fun to jam to the remix. Lisa heard the jam, and created these amazing vocals, and lyrics.

Kiss the sky

All along the watchtower 
With Hendrix's ghost I roamed 
Looked onto a horizon, blue with the stars calling me home 
But, if you kiss the sky tonight you'll be gone with Foxy Lady and Little Wing 
Don't be surprised by the stars in their eyes 
It's only a little thing

Stepping stones to a shotgun blast 
My soul, borne on ships passing in the night 
Midnight lightening on the highway of broken dreams 
I know everything's going to be alright 
Wake up this morning and find yourself dead 
There may be nothing wrong, but there may be some strange things ahead 
And if you kiss the sky tonight, you'll be gone 
With, Hey, Joe and Voodoo Child 
Don't be unnerved by the bleeding heart 
Don't be unnerved by the smile

Waiting for the dead to rise, wild thing flying the skies 
In a purple haze that envelops the moon 
I used to wonder, now I know why I sing the blues 
And if you kiss the sky tonight, you'll be gone

Through the valleys of Neptune 
Through the Earth blues, I'm a free spirit 
Can't you tell, a burning desire, better times ahead 
As I kiss the sky and say, farewell

Kiss the Sky by Lisa West (Faerytale) with Telefan & Angel Bambu Remix

One from the archives, an echoing slide down the neck, in Open-D tuning on Slim's Martin SWOMGT guitar.

Echoes Of You

Quanta

Where has it gone to,
this comfort that we are looking for
Where has it gone to,
did it go where we can't follow?

So here I've been sitting, thinking: 
everything will gladly come to me
But where will that take me,
will I go where you can't follow?

Now where are you hinding,
under pillows and a blanket,
Under the stars, say:
where are you hiding,
did you go where I can't find you?

I wish that I could find you here,
so we wouldn't be alone ...

Again, alone

I would love to know
How I came to lose control
Spend my life with you
Thought my world you understood

Won't you come around
Won't calm me down

Echoes of the storm
Ever since this love was born
Now I wish I knew
How my life could start anew
Problems never solved
Spend the night with alcohol
Trust it once again
Not so sure you are a friend

After all these years
Drunken nights, lost memories
The problem's never solved
Spend my life with alcohol

Won't you come around
Won't calm me down

Echoes Of The Storm

Guitar song

To see what happens:
Music and lyrics by J. Marcus Dahlström

You followed me day, 
you followed me night
Even after we parted, 
you still followed me around
Now I know with these things, 
I know it takes time
So walk on cautiously, my love

An adventure for us both
Something that we've never done before
But let's do it anyway,
just to see what happens

I took you for granted, 
I know that I did
Well, I was young 
back then and so naive
Now I know with this things, 
I know it takes time
So walk on cautiously, my love

An adventure for us both
Something that we've never done before
But let's do it anyway,
just to see what happens.

Leaf Off / The Cave

A new song by The Last Searchers!! Short instrumental tune written by Jorge Rodríguez.

Arranged and performed by The Last Searchers. 
Fernando Gonzalo: guitar
Jorge Rodríguez: resonator, guitar

Download link: https://thelastsearchers.bandcamp.com/releases

On The Road (Original, instrumental)

A little ukulele tune on a sunny day in winter.

Gallop

This track is from the album Not Seen the Light of Day and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/sidestreetreny

Grasping At Straws

This track is also inspired by observing playing games,
about big and small ones, purple words, desperate and deranged local presidents, coloured packaging materials, the good, the bad and....all that daily players stuff.

(this music also contains SW - collage playing stuff)

SW: Bass, Guitars, and Bouzouki, and some silly words.
Also included some south american drum samples,
a PCO ringing tone and my answering machine :-)

P.S.:
"Heinz plays with Warcraft and Anna plays with Pit
Joseph plays with Money and Money´s happy with it
Angie talks to Holograms , Wladi has to quit
Rudolf plays with rendeers … stag thinks “what a shit”
Johnny plays with Walker, ballerinas with desire
Andy builds a fire but his flames are getting higher
No matter if you´re limited or considered as wise
Press your daily restart button to your challenge paradise"

It's my pleasure to share this new song based on a wonderful music track produced before by Larry Hansen and Tim Smith. For information about the music see https://soundcloud.com/dabluroom/gypsy-serenade. 

Larry has been very kind and supportive, and I appreciate that. Interestingly, I did not need to change the name of the music track when it was turned into a song, as the lyrics can happily live under the name: Gypsy Serenade.

Like always, I appreciate your valuable comments and feedback for me to correct my current mistakes in the future tracks. I hope you enjoy the song.

Lyrics: Gypsy Serenade

We were born against our will, as if being imprisoned
I wish I die instantly, and once, not so many times
 
We are the repetition of ups and downs, where and why?
We got wounded and shut down, when attempting to fly
 
We are sat down exhausted, wishing our hearts heal again
So we do not argue with our loved ones now and then
 
We were not in control, when they captured our hearts though
We are compelled half-drunks, squashed and crushed like a dough
 
We don't ask for any wines, just some water, oh my Lord
We are perplexed and burnt, just like abandoned deserts
 
The mirror of secrets was safely sealed forever
So we stare at unknowns to discover whatever
 
It's only love that can make our existence immortal
We are not afraid of being hurt by love let's carry on


آواز کولی - حسین راغب


ما زاده ی جبریم و اسیریم دمادم

ای کاش بمیریم و نمیریم دمادم

تکرار فرازیم و فرودیم کجاییم ؟

ما زخمی پرواز و به زیریم دمادم

ما خسته نشستیم که تیمار شود دل

تا خرده به دلدار نگیریم دمادم

مختار نبودیم که بردند دل از ما

مجبور و خماریم و خمیریم دمادم

از باده گذشتیم کمی آب خدایا

سرگشته و سوزان چو کویریم دمادم

پوشیده چو بر ما رخ آیینه ی اسرار 

ما خیره بر اسرار مسیریم دمادم

عشق است سرانجام که بی عشق هلاکیم

ای عشق بسوزان که دلیریم دمادم

I have a feeling you wont be there.
Even if I track you down, you disappear .                                          
Like a crow I am circling the shore..
For anything to find. I am searching alone.

I should not have left you unattended. 
I failed my watch..
A moment of silence and then it ended. 
I was out of touch.... 
with unattended you..

You scarred my legacies, my people and my lands.       
just another burden in my noble hands.
Like the storm I want to bring  you to your knees                                             
So you understand what trouble means.

I should not have left you unattended. 
I failed my watch.
A moment of silence and then it ended. 
I was out of touch.
with unattended you.

You cannot hide in shadows and shades
You  may run, but the road is a dead end.           
The stone I placed, shaped like a heart.
The love you lost will break you apart.
Like the storm I want to  bring you to your knees.

Morning Land : Selena & Gordon's Factory June 2015
Special Guest : https://soundcloud.com/perpetually-pessimistic
-----------------------------------
Our recent posting : "The Song", https://soundcloud.com/selena-factory/the-song
was a heady, overwhelming trip inspired by classics of visionary literature. At the time we felt there was room for a return to similar subject matter but with very different musical stylings.

Returning to  Herman Hesse's "Siddhartha" & "Journey to the East" we started to write a gentler, more introspective song reliant on subtle acoustic textures.
At this point we asked our good friend & multi-instrumentalist PP : https://soundcloud.com/perpetually-pessimistic  
to help us out with some authentic Indian sounds. Fortunately he was really sold on the sketches and supplied some breathtaking sarod melodies - completely transforming Morning Land into something very special indeed.

Thanks from us both PP.

"Happiness is a talent not an object"
-----------------------------------------------------

When the present feels devoid of meaning, and we spend our days looking back, hiding in memories
We relive our past excitement only now a degree removed
Can we ever hope to find all that we have lost?

Living, Being, Doing, Seeking, Learning
Wanting Love

Living, Being, Doing, Seeking, Growing
Becoming Love

But where do we go in our search for The One?
Our journey to the motherlode and what it means to be human
To satisfy our need for completeness, We search for the Ultimate Truth
Is Reality Within Us?

Morning Land, We seek the Light
We seek the Home, Home of the Soul

We Journey East, to end the night
We're going home, We're going home

LYRICS

Sat back with the window down
Eighty an hour and the radio loud
The same songs with the same old rhymes
Tell me to shake it off and swing from the lights

But I can’t help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won’t go away
And I promised I’d be there but you don’t make it easy
Darling please believe me 

Cos loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do’s not enough 
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you

Count stacks of the routine lies 
Funny how easy you could see my blindside
Still the same songs with the same old beats
Sure I could stay but there’s a place I’d rather be 

But I can’t help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won’t go away
And I promised I’d be there but you don’t make it easy
Darling please believe me 

Cos loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do’s not enough 
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you

See I remember all the times you made me covered in crazy
I can’t forgot about the way you played me
Like I was never gonna change your world
It ended long ago so please just let me go
It ended long ago so please just let me go
