Wonderland

A remixed oldie. Warning: The lyrics of this song contain depictions of interpersonal violence and suicide. That said: Hello… Glad you dropped by. Since I have been busy gardening lately, I haven’t been on SoundCloud all that much. But today… June 17th, it has been cold and rainy, with some snow (yes, snow!) predicted for tonight. So I have tarps and covers ready to go, to cover the frost sensitive plants. Years ago, when I first posted songs here, my exuberance often blinded me to just how bad those songs were. So I ended up posting and deleting songs all the time. Once a dude asked if I was using a mic, as the ‘white noise’ machine hiss of the HD was unbearable. He said it in the kindest of ways. I did end up getting a mic and also did a song thanking him. Other times, I used to introduce my songs with a deep, drawling voice. That was hilariously comedic. Another dude laughed so hard when I was first learning to sing. I posted a song with me warbling from baritone to high falsetto…. OMG. Later, I laughed too. People here were graciously patient and kind as I struggled to learn music way back when. Unlike a friend’s parents who chased him in an effort to take away his banjo and he never played music again. So thanks for bearing with me, as I test out vocal harmonies that really don’t work, or just wing a song, with no rhyme of reason. Or when I rant and howl about this or that. Because that kindness has allowed me to explore music in a way I never would have before.  Mark

Equanimity And Loss

"A Love Like No Other"

Recollections of flowing memories from when you entered my life
Your long black flowing hair & those beckoning eyes that still call me
It was obvious that we were never through which is why I returned
And in this world, who could ever say they knew of romance like this?
A Love Like No Other

Am deeply sorry for the pain I caused from an addiction that destroyed me
You were always the one & I struggled to cope with all I could not say
As time slowly passes by, I know in my heart you will be back in my arms one day
A Love Like No Other, a girl that gave me a reason to smile
A Love Like No Other, the connection of two souls that become one

Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

GREATEST HITS

I’m blowin’ notes streetside in a horn section   
Blown garbage and coppered boots all gone tangling. 
You’re Bixby’s Bridge above Kerouac’s canyon.  
Way above the ruts in your trending fashion      

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits.    
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
Falling vacant down a slip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary - humanity

You’re all coiff n pressed jeans uber-reaching
Gripping on to a scene and about it beseeching
You’re jetting over Miller’s Big Sur resident shack
History is nothing but a scratch on your back

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
But I need from you something ordinary (Like)           
A eureka moment guilt trip               
What capture’s me is the fragmentary – humanity

What was I just a birthright the right side of the tracks
But egalitarian ideas caught you in a trap
Trying to show a social conscience don’t come naturally
Such a handbrake on life’s beckoning verdant tapestry

You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .  
You’ve been playin’ me your greatest hits. . .

Greatest Hits

this track is really just revisiting an older tune from around 2022 that started off with just the opening electric piano part, and experimented with different synth pads and an arpeggiator. The updated version adds a few newer synth sounds to the mix. It's really still fairly experimental, and I may try another alternate version at some point.

The title is kinda lame so if you have any suggestions drop 'em in the comments  :)

It's All Because Of You

It's All Because Of You ( Fox and Harris )

I showed the world just who I was
The world replied with a shirk and a shrug
And a laughing refrain and a 'what was your name again'
Please oh, please, consider these burnt offerings

I worked the stages all up down the coastline
Been loved, been murdered, been lauded and still I
Search for the part that forever defines me
Please oh please, consider these burnt offerings

Oh my vanities
These songs I sing

I did not look to no one 
I did not study art
I did not look to books
I'm illiterate
The story I told is my story alone
Please oh please, consider these burnt offerings

Oh, my vanities
These songs I sing

In workshops and gardens, I tarried and toiled
My masterpiece there in sweat, grease and oils
And it's there for the ages in granite, on pages
Please of please consider these burnt offerings

I showed the world just who I was
The world replied with a shirk and a shrug
And a laughing refrain and a 'what was your name again'

Burnt Offerings

Traditional Welsh folk song ("Llwyn Onn") 
English lyrics by Thomas Oliphant (19th century)
Vocals and Instrumentals by Layna Claunch

The ash grove, how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking
The harp through it playing has language for me
When over its branches the sunlight is breaking
A host of kind faces is gazing on me
The friends of my childhood again are before me
Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam
With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home
 
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander
When twilight is fading I pensively rove
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely ash grove
'Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing
I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing
But then little thought I how soon we should part
          
My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness   
No dream of the future my spirit can cheer
I only can brood on the past and its brightness
The dear ones I long for again gather here
From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me
I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome
And others are there, looking downward to greet me
The ash grove, the ash grove again is my home

Ash Grove

Lyrics
[verse]
Easy Does It---too smooth/ another groove-
Bottom line ---another jam/ now watch the move
Turn a blank page ---straight in-to a masterpiece
A HipHop feast----Practice-- rehearse---and unleash a beast
------No if —-and or buts----not even a maybe 
 I tend to rhyme a lot ---it's in the bag baby
An awareness of what's ---about to go down
Never careless -----and seldom ----ever wrong
Never the less------I'm here ——-so Let's---throw it down
My blueprint----- my process-----so sing along
pump up the volume ---let's do it like that
Don't really matter as a matter of fact
As long as you're rocking by the end of the track
Level one up------Cruising like a Cadillac

[verse]
so many rhymes --------written-------------- styles bitten 
Tracks so sick --- they'll leave you ------------bed ridden
Word play--------written-----with ------------shadow--rhyme hidden 
visions-----That occur------with ------------lethal--precision
--------insight for dayzzz-----------experience that pays
you'll be amazed------------rhyme after rhyme--phrase after phrase---
-----how the hell he do that------and the-------  message conveys ---
cohesion on the track--------I'm-a---set it ----ablaze
Another--Track ----turnt----up------Set this one on---------re-plays

[verse]
This ain't no illusion—-no trick, no mirage
I'm crafting the hits—-like I'm the rap Sarge
Line after line—-I speak the hard truths
Old school grinds from my early youth
Sharp as a tack—-with flows that stick
A verbal attack—-slick quick pic
In this game of words—-I'm the king, no debate
Got bars for days—-stack them up, heavyweight
I ride these beats—-got 'em begging for mercy
Half poet, half prophet—-lyrically wordy——————————

Our Dog

Back in time
150 
million years ago
Archaeopteryx
 is up to tricks
In the canopy 
His wings he flicks
Y’know 
Y’know 
Looking for a juicy bug
Stegosaurus wonder past
Mammals dug a den
Hearts are beating fast
But will they last?

Only halfway through the dinosaurs long day
Is there really that much I can find to say?

Feathers on the wings
These are newly flying things
Though the birds will really take flight
Easy to miss 
Is Allosaurus Fragilis 
Hiding in the tree line out of sight 
Hold on tight 

Ceratosaurus is the dinosaur we want to see
A nose crest has to be the best, can we agree?

Archaeopteryx 
Has had his big bug nicked
He may be a dinosaur
But that don’t stop a lizards jaw
Tasting victory 
Catastrophe 
Stegosaurus takes a dump
And I won’t do a joke about his rump
Even though I could rhyme arse
Well, shit  - that came to pass

Another day in prehistory
Bring a book and why not stay for tea?
