Chapter 2 Draft 4 Just Music

Queen of the Rocks

Here Nor There (sunday

Sounding Out (No Dragons Allowed)

For Anne...

No one is sitting next to me
The seat is empty right beside of me
No one is sitting next to me
The doors are closed an everyone is strapped in
I can stretch out if I want to!

No one is sitting next to me
Don't have to make small talk or token smiles
No one is sitting next to me
The plane is off and the seatbelt sign is turned on.
I could choose the aisle or the widow seat

No One Is Sitting Next To Me

A few months ago
Right after we moved to Yellow Brook Road
I got a call from Fran
And she had this organ 
This organ came from someone who
was moving to Switzerland
And no longer wanted this organ
I asked her how much they would want for it 
Fran said it would be free. 
I had no idea what a Lowrey was.
What kind of organ is his?
It probably is an organ
the definition of an organ is something i should research
I would find that this is an Organ
When I researched it I’m sure.
This organ appears on one song so far.
It is slightly out of tune.
I could correct that with post processing.
I should probably
This organ is pretty cool.

But I don’t know how often I’ll use it.
But it looks great in here.

The lowery is out of tune
It's kinda tough to play
I don't know how often I will use it

But it looks great in here
Makes me seem pretty cool
That I know a lowery is an organ

This album is one-half of a music-text experience. The music is here; the text is at www.mikemonsoon.com. Collectively, they form a psychedelic, horror-tinged, time-traveling musical puzzle that tells the story of a man facing a reality-shattering question: If you could go back and change things, would you…or did you? The more you listen, the more you read, the more you discover. Come and explore the joy–and occasional horror–of creativity.
 
Reviews:
 
“In a cultural moment when attention spans are among the scarcest of natural resources, Mike Monsoon's Song Journal doesn't just demand your focus — it earns it … However it is that you're drawn into this storytelling matrix, the Song Journal keeps you hooked as you jump from chapter to song, year to year, clue to clue. It's an ingenious package of narrative elements ...” --Neil Janowitz, Editor, Vulture.com
 
“Captivates with sly winks and homages to classic rock operas. The songs vacillate between straight-ahead, 3-minute verse/chorus/bridge pop and more adventurous compositions that use imaginative arrangements in service of longer and more complex narratives … shades of Queen, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, The Clash, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Who, Phish, and The Flaming Lips ... rife with intriguing layers … the fun is putting the pieces together." -- Lorne Berman, Rolling Stone
 
“An oasis of great songwriting and unique production work woven into a concept record that is truly unforgettable.” -- Mike White, founder, MPG Music Production School
