Basket of Gratitude: Thanks for all your playlists and comments on Just Have To Wait And See Pt. 1

Five vocalists and the question of how they feel about the region in which they live, while they write their lines.
Plus a guitarist, bass, synths and drums and a bit of mixing.
Sounds simple, it is from the idea, but the time until such a project is really finished passes quickly ... from the beginning to the completion it took almost half a year. 
Now I am happy to have brought everything to a good end.

Many thanks to all involved for the commitment and friendship. 
Have fun listening - yours bitzone

Stoney

it doesn't matter if I tell you which sky I'm from

Couch 

Time often goes real slow
When the vitamin D starts to feel real low
From January to May 
Each meal got dough 
Cause the rain still flows  
As I stay in doors 
And my melanin foregoes any hope that it shows
In the summertime 
I’m just sitting and waiting 
Till we’ll get to grow
Sprout my head out and reveal from below
Hello this is Portland

Oven Fresh The Chef

From the mountains to the valleys from the lows to the peaks.
From the loudest to the calloused to your soul it will speak.
From the crowds to the alleys and we roll with the heat.
Never doubt it, grab the chalice and a bowl we will seek.

It's a festival of music. Keep your ear to the streets.
The sunsets are beautiful. It's almost like a dream.
The smokes in the air. Got 'em feeling my aroma.
I'm just another stoner kid here from Arizona. 

Stoney 

I am from the sky
I like to be high
& smile
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you what town I'm from
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

Peter

I sit back and burn
think about past adventures
lessons that I learned
where my future may venture
I just let life do what it do
because no matter what I do
that's what it's gonna do
no need to let the stress level rise
I'd rather write raps wit the red chinky eyes
windows down as we ride
Atlanta representative that's where I write my rhymes

Lady Of Fire Poetry

Seattle is still a great place.There are a lot of people with
big heart here. It's still so soulful. People enjoy the artists and musicians.
And the real raw energy that lives here. It brings people together.
Not to mention its natural green beauty and oh yeah I forgot, the rain.

Stoney

I am from the sky
I like to be high
& smile
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

I am from that place 
one more star in space
I feel pluto's pain
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

Belief In Evil (with Dylan Krieger)

rough take, long time. 

checking in, who's still around on the cloud?

don't play cards with satan (daniel johnston cover)

When I agreed to collab with TRC and started to have ideas about his spacey proposal, I didn't expect he would send me not less than FOURTEEN STEMS ! ! !   A fabulous variety, so I had a complex and funny job mixing them with mine. We got two bass lines going on, but any bass is never too much bass ;)

LYRICS: "ROBOT BLUES"

I'm a robot.
I can sing.
Artificial intelligence
can make me feel.

Then I can understand.
Then I can be like you.
Now I'll play my
Robot Blues.

As I was saying,
be careful, as soon,
you will not be able to distinguish
a human from a lovely lovely lovely lovely machine...

Robot Blues (with Tea Are Sea)

Lyrics:
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
1. Treachery is the mortal blow
to every kind of faith
No relationship can grow
Behind a doubled face
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
2. Treachery is the brotherly kiss
with a dagger on one´s back
Foreside smiling innocence
Back side the attack
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
3. Treachery is inexcusable
A scar that never heals
Treachery is unforgettable 
Once it is revealed
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
(c) Neli CoKo

jump in and save her
she's the one you've been searching for
every time you fell asleep wanting more
well feast your eyes on the door
under the starlit sky
the universe couldn't tell me why
every time I call and you pass me by 
my love spills all over the floor
yeah in the motor car
yeah I couldn't get that far
yeah I'll take an aeroplane 
to find you wherever you may be in the world
to find you wherever you may be
so jump in and save her
she's losing her breath in the drowning pool
even if I were there would you know what to do? 
I can't provide you with more
only takes a moment just to throw it away
after a lifetime all your searching goes to waste 
cause you think you've been hurt before 
well feast your eyes on the door
yeah in the motor car
yeah I couldn't get that far
yeah I'll take an aeroplane 
to find you wherever you may be in the world
to find you wherever you may be in the world
if I knew wherever you could be in the world
if I knew wherever you could be

first hit of the morning sun by Jim Manser

life flashing by me way to fast
trying to find a place but it wont last
stayed with the comedian and the fool
not far away from the ocean where the air was cool
my biggest fear i face is lose my memorys
in a film of life and a whirlwind dream 
just trying to climb a wall and make some sense of it all
like a spy in a hall in a crazy scene
chorus
Rising on up to the first hit of the morning sun
you know its been a long while but now i want to have some fun
rising on up to a feeling of euphoria 
getting on back to a time when we were young

Dancing with the dragons on a smoky haze
they say you drift around in forgotton days
losing everyone in one fowl swoop
gotta find an answer swimming though this soup
Im sick of taking calls now my tools are broken
not sure how long i wanna feel this way
life is rapidly changing like the currents in the ocean
even though we are ageing from day to day

This is the third song posted from the album Bitzone, Stricknice, Wou-Wou & the Wormling, and I have been working on together with a number of other friends on SoundCloud. The first song shared was the late 80s indie American underground inspired song, Ghosting Out, that include Bonetender joining with his transistor organ and guitar. The second song released was late 90s inspired Alternative Rock and Hip Hop song The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3 with Carlos Vivanco and Belial Pelegrim joining in the mix. 

All of the songs were written during the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic when the United States went into lockdown and Black Lives Matter protests where having a major impact. I think you can especially hear the influence of those times in this song. 

I am honored that My Hot Air Balloon accepted my invitation to join this track and that Eddie Shook was willing to add a radio spot into the mix. It is always a pleasure to work with the extremely talented Jonathan Beckenstein and Jamie Rhind. And huge thanks to Bitzone and Stricknice for adding so much creativity and music to this entire project! And as always, Wou-Wou rocks! I have made so much music with Wou-Wou over the years, it is incredible!

Lyrics: 
I'm so tired of waiting at the edge of the world

They say the world is spinning ball
But you know
It’s always been flat to me
I still say the sun circles the globe
But uh
No one ever listens to me

When I tell ‘em 
World’s coming to an end
When I’m yellin’ 
Better make your amends 
When Gods callin’
They say the good shall ascend 
But uh
We’ll just have to wait and see

I'm so tired of waiting at the edge of the world

Gotta love God ’n liberty
But Hey
Don’t you dare tread on me
Don’t say I never warned you now
But uh
No one ever listens to me

When I tell ‘em 
World’s coming to an end
When I’m yellin’ 
Better make your amends 
When Gods callin’
They say the good shall ascend 
But uh
We’ll just have to wait and see

Jonathan Beckenstein: initial music, instruments, mix

Guys like you as tough as nails give my heart a fluster
Gettin’ right up on me baby with the swagger and the bluster
And when I catch my breath again, I remember you're protectin’
That beatin’ thing inside your chest that's worried about rejection

Sometimes we girls don’t understand the beating heart inside of a man
Understand he's a man

I wanna tell you I’m in on the joke but you got that shield of pride
And the highest degree of security for that tender part inside
I'm ‘onna tell you something else: When your heart starts to pitch and moan
The feelin's kind of undermined when you know you’re not alone

Sometimes we girls don’t understand the beating heart inside of a man
Understand he's a man
He’s a man

You show the world what you want them to see
But you’re real: you feel, you bleed
So darlin’ in the dark wee hours
You can share your pain with me
Share your pain with me
You can share your pain

Guys like you so full of bluff give my tender heart a shudder
Rough and roll and showing off and melting me like butter
But you aren’t fooling me you know, and while I’m tight against your armor
I promise you I will protect the secret that you harbor

I’m gonna try to understand
The beating heart inside of a man
Understand, he’s a man

Girls Don't Understand (with Janine Levinson)

Joined here by two of my favorite SoundCloud musicians, Germany's Georg Boehme on baritone sax and Norway's Will Paasche on synthesizer.  These guys as simply superb musicians and together we tackle our original, Dramatic Chromatic.  Both soloists push things out in a dramatic fashion and help create the edge that is maintained throughout the music.  Georg is on fire from the start and has created the opening statement with three Bari lines together.  And when Will jumps in look out, as he too soars and then pushes the boundaries of what is capable on synthesizer.
