Wrapping Up the Playlist: Thanks for all you playlists and comments on Wind Blows Wicked Pt. 2

This song is about inner fight of feelings between love and desire. It will take you through different scenes: meditation, passion, happiness, frustration, adoration, excitation & relaxation.

I think it will be one of my top tracks ever, but after too many attempts for a definitive mix, it must go out as it is or I’ll go crazy(er). Please give me some feedback.

Maybe a nice trial: https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/estoy-confundido-piano-version

Belial Pelegrim & COtu - Centaur (Album Version)

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

【針時雨】

五月雨、浮かぶ月は
咬みちぎった果実の様な夜

肌刺す雨に濡れる
赤い夜、僕を染めゆく

ああ、穴だらけ

朧げ月夜に尖の雨が降る
突き刺さる雨が降る
雨が

針の雨、突き刺さる
針の雨、針時雨

突き刺さる、無数の視線
無数の言葉が矢となり僕を
突き刺す、刺す

針の雨、突き刺さる
針の雨、針時雨

針時雨【Needle Rain】

I have a lot of faith that people can be strong enough to recognize where they have done (or are doing) harm and make sincere amends. I also believe that people have the power to heal and forgive wrong doings. It takes great strength to walk together through the fire of our pains and come out the other end holding hands, recognizing and honoring our differences while acknowledging and celebrating our similarities.  

May everyone get a chance to break bread together, enjoy some wine, and share some laughs. 

Thanks again to Calebass, Jon, and Janine for joining me together on a 3rd track. We make a great team! It was really fantastic to have Chris O and Belial Pelegrim finally join a track on my page. Chris O and Belial are two SoundCloud legends in my opinion. I am so grateful to be making music with all my favorite people. If only I had more time to make music with all of my favorites on the cloud. Who knows, maybe I do!

And massive thanks to Russ and the Chaos Cookhouse for baking my bread in their oven once again. If it wasn’t for them, I would only be serving balls of dough.

Lyrics:

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I feel it’s heading my way
Yes, a rising hurricane, heading my way
A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel it’s blowing this way

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

It’s heading my way

You better blow that away

We hunkered down for the storm breaks 
Sat by the heath till our bones ached
Kept those embers burning for what’s at stake 
Canned those apples for a future bake 
When we can walk across the street 
And give a hand shake 
To our neighbors where the wind don’t take 
A life’s time just to make up for
Past time’s big mistakes  

Well rise-up hurricane and blow out the old
Trade them for a mighty dawn

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

Push aside the night shades to break a deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn

Even though things still ain’t right
We got deep history still within sight
And at times things can be downright 
Enough to incite our outright 
Deepest ugliest version of contrite 
I still cling tight 
To that hope for that bright light 
That one day things will be made right 
But it ain’t gonna be if we just hang tight 
Word 

The wind blows wicked by my side of the street

A rising hurricane blowing out the old
I just feel, it’s a-heading our way
Push aside the night shades
Break another deal
Trade them for a mighty dawn

LYRICS BELOW
Here's a song inspired by the coronavirus pandemic (but it's upbeat and hopeful). Big thanks to Ben Lokuta, who recorded the drums remotely. Ben is an amazing young drummer currently studying at Berklee College of Music and the drummer for Distant Cuzins. I played gigs with Ben all last year, including at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Ben plays a huge drum set with two kicks, so mixing was a bit of a challenge! I told Ben to let loose in the last verse, and he really came through.
All four guitars I play in this song are Gretsches--hollowbody or semi-hollow--all with different pickups:
Gretsch 5422T with Filtertrons
Gretsch 5622T with Super HiLo trons
Gretsch 2622TG with P90s
Gretsch 2420 with Broadtrons
...so this is definitely a Gretsch song!

        Take a Minute
............Words & Music by Timothy Walsh
You say you can’t go the distance, put up too much resistance,
even though I’m telling you that I’ll be there for you.

No, I don’t even want to hear it.   No time to check out though we fear it.
The sea’s about to swallow up this human world we know.

Chorus

You’re watching all your screens.  Never get outside.
Stand among the trees.
You’re always stuck inside like a person who’s confined
never walking in the breeze.

You say the clock is ticking—watch as the whole world is sickening.
I just say that you have got to think beyond us two.

So roll up your sleeves and pitch in—no use just always bitching.
You have got to use your life and stand up for what’s true.

Recorded and mixed by Timothy Walsh at Yew Tree Studios (that is, a tiny upstairs room in my house nestled amid century-old yew trees)

Welcome to my final release of 2020 and i thought this song was a good way to wrap up my year of recording  and music and film making .
For most artists and creatives its been a very tough year but i always see light at the end of the tunnel and this song is about keeping faith and having hope and to not stop what you enjoy doing and hopefully it entertains and engages those who listen ..
I would like to than all those artists and friends that have supported and been there for my music [you know who you are ]and much love to you all..keep going and keep creative

Lyrics

Tried to take a photo
But I took a video
I kicked my boots off
And I ran faster than ever before
Looking for love
In places where there were none

You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it
You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it
You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it
The world treated you bad
And now you want me to pay
You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it

I made a bouquet
You trampled on my flowers
Hey don't play me
On the radio
Walking through the big leaves
Happy here on my own

You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it
You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it
You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it
The world treated you bad
And now you want me to pay
You want to see me suffer
You want to see me suffer
You love it

The fine gentlemen at Mastering True Music (formerly FredTracks) sent this track -- and I was delighted to write and sing over it! They always send great, professional tracks made with real instruments. Such a pleasure to work with. And always a challenge to sing over a different style than my own!

Something To Believe    

Give me something to think about 
Give my lonely soul relief 
Just some words I can mull around 
Give me something to believe  

I want more than your company 
Give me something of your heart 
Like a blanket to comfort me 
Like a fire in my arms  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your soul 
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe  

Give me something to think about 
Give me memories of love
Give me something to think about 
Give me all your tears and blood  

Give me your love 
Give me your hope 
Give me your dreams
Give me something to, something to believe

Something To Believe --  with Mastering True Music

Just possibly the dumbest song I've ever done. But it's fun! A homage to the Shopping Mall era of teenage love.

Lyrics:
Walking in the Mall with my Girl
On a Saturday night
Perfume of her laughter and her beauty trails behind her
Allright!
Then she tells me that there's something I need to know
We stop ever time that she sees that store
Because her heart grow faint
Without complaint
When she sees those Poster Boys

She's in love with a stock photo model
Like the ones that hang up in the store
Stock photo model
I hear her utter underneath her breath
I heard her say:
Uh-huh!

Let me take you down to the Piano store
I will play you
"My Cherie Amour" (Stevie Wonder)
On the synthesizer 
Don't worry about the piano salesman
He's a sympathizer 
Cause he's been burned in love before
Every time that you walk past that store
You get excited by those Poster Boys

Stock photo model
She's in love with a stock photo model
With the whitest teeth
Look so street
I hear her say underneath her breath
Uh-Huh!

Stock photo model
She's in love with a stock photo model
I hear her say:
Uh-huh!!!!

Stock Photo Model

Oh lord you take me up
When Im falling down
When I'm calling out......

Mi Señor

A fun collaboration of a song by Willie Dixon, made when my friend Tanya was in her last days of the 14 day quarantine in a hotel in Tasmania. She recorded some drums and finger cymbals on her phone and we stitched this blues classic together. 

A few additions are still needed when we get together in the home studio in person.
