lyrics (Parental Advisory):
------------------------------
You're so strage to me

you got offended so fast
you're not built to last
you're made of sugar, butter and shit

You think it's only you
you cry like a bitch
your job it's only to abuse

whatever i say is wrong
your life is like a crappy song
no reason to talk to you anymore!

You're So Strange To Me

*** This extended version was not planned, rather, inspiration called for it, and I felt compelled to revisit this piece. I hope you will enjoy this new version. ***

A requiem for my sister Lisa, and 4th movement of a work I have planned to complete as I have time and inspiration for each part of my outline.

The title comes from my daughter, who heard me as I was playing with the initial melodic idea, and said it sounds like a mourning bird.

This piece is best heard through headphones or quality stereo speakers to hear all the details.

Special thanks to the following, in no particular order, for their feedback, support and kindness which helped me to make this piece what it is.

Birds of Mourning: Extended Version

Cast of Characters:

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen–acoustic and electric guitars, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano, synth, composition, vocals, and lyrics

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass and lap steel


  This song began its life as a composition that JJ wrote one evening on the piano and synth. He also wrote the lyrics and sings this one. He was very excited to share it with us, so he invited me, Ken, Stephen and Tez into the project immediately after finishing. However, we couldn't make the thing work at first, so JJ went back and retooled it, streamlined it, and gave it back to us. We all really liked the Floydiness of the groove, and his signature psychedelic coda ending. 
  After Ken had laid down his inspired, foundational  drums, I laid down my bass part with my big monster five-string bass, which is good for really low tones. Then it was Tez's turn. He came up with something very Gilmore-esque, with his always exciting leads throughout the first section. Stephen then added some brilliant, filling acoustic guitar to the first section. He, along with Tez, also added some trippy electric guitar to the coda. Finally, Josh just thought it needed something to push the coda over the edge, so he added the slide at the end, too.
  Then, of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert way. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Also, we wish a very happy New Year to everyone! 
JJ's lyrics:

PUSHED AND PULLED AND SWUNG THE CLEAVER
MY TIME IT RAN AWAY.
FOOLISH HEART AND SOME DECEIVIN’
DIE TRYIN’ TO STAY AFRAID

DESERT CHILL IS WHERE IM SLEEPIN’
HARD NIGHT TURNED INTO DAYS
BETTER GO AND FEED THIS FEVER
TWICE BLINDED BY THIS FAITH

SHOULD’VE KNOWN WHILST IN THE SEASON
BEHIND BLIND BRAVEITY
TRUTH COMES HOME TO ROOST THE RAVEN
FIVE STEINS MADE OF JADE

TREASURED HILL THE SUNS RETREATIN’
CARD PLAYED YOUR HANDS AN ACE
LET IT GO THIS BIRD IS DREAMIN’
DICE LANDED AT THE TRAIN

COULD’VE SHOWN MY HEART’S REATREATIN’
BLIND SIDED BY THE SEA
PLEASURED TONE OF THE BALLADEER
FIND A HIGH AND LONELEY PLACE

SEED IS SOWN THIS HEART’S STILL BEATIN’
FIVE LIONS IN THE DEN
GETTIN’ COLD THE BEAST IS LEAVING
SOUTH BOUND IT ALL THE WAY

RAINFALL IN MY LIFE, THE SUNSHINE NEVER CAME
I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE BUT THE SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN 
EVERYTHING THE SAME AS ITʼS ALWAYS BEEN
NOW ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT ARE SOME BROKEN DREAMS

NOW MY DREAMS ARE TORN TO SHREDS 
BECAUSE I DIDNʼT THINK AHEAD
TRAPPED INSIDE A FANTASY
THE YEARS IʼVE LOST SHOULD WORRY ME

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE

DISTRACTED BY MY VANITY
THE DAYS ALL RAN AWAY FROM ME 
WITH DEEP REGRET 
I MUST FORGET EACH WASTED OPPORTUNITY

I FAIL TO REACH MY DESTINY
I LOST THE WAR WITH VANITY
IGNORING WARNINGS, STILL IN MOURNING 
SLAVE TO MY OWN FANTASY

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE 
IN DAYLIGHT DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW 
ONCE MORE THE FAITS CONSPIRE 
DOUSE UNFULFILLED DESIRES 
TORMENTING ME THIS DE JAVU

RAINFALL IN MY LIFE, THE SUNSHINE NEVER CAME
I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE BUT THE SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN EVERYTHING THE SAME AS ITʼS ALWAYS BEEN
NOW ALL THAT I HAVE LEFT ARE MY BROKEN DREAMS

ONLY METAL DREAMS COME TRUE

Boxing Day

Yoshi & Chie are friends of mine from Osaka, Japan, where I lived for a year back in 2002-03. They now live here in Toronro, where I got to know them while busking together on the street, and jamming at my house with a few other friends. Here's a medley of music from that day:
https://on.soundcloud.com/UtPSC

Yoshi is an incredibly talented and super creative sitar player, sometimes playing with a violin bow, or with trippy electronic effects. He participated in a performance of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band full album re-enactment here in Toronto several years ago. Together with wife Chie, who plays didgeridoo, sings, and plays various percussion and electronic effects, they form the group Kaminari. Kaminari is a very popular act performing at various music festivals around Toronto, with shows now including dancing performances by their daughter.

This is a song from their early album Triangle, where I was honoured to be asked to play the drum (djembe) part - the only other artist on the album. 

Here's a video of a show they did a while ago to give you a sense of their stuff. I just like to plug them cause they're a super nice couple and a joy to play with.

thanks for listening!

Theres a story no one knows
A single moment in time froze 
A solitary mind delay 
A piece of your own hard decay 
Restrictions become unaware 
A secondary wishful scare

Did you ever kiss the end 
And Think death that could be your friend
Whatever pulled you through 
May be the real you

That Icy streams that ever flows
To places that nobody knows 
The undercurrents darker pull
A tolerance running at full
The distant pumping traffic hum 
An Inner light that’s gone allnumb 

Did you ever kiss the end 
And Think that death could be your friend
Whatever pulled you through 
May be the real you

The pale light of endless bliss
And the strain that you would never  miss 
The easing of a constant frown 
The fires suck you slowly down 
Stand up and quickly walk away 
And breath another earthly day 

Did you ever kiss the end 
And Think death that could be your friend
Whatever pulled you through 
May be the real you

Original song and lyrics by Linda Straub

Let Me Go 
(In memory of my little girl Daisy I just lost)

Lyrics

Mommy it's time to let me go,
I know you heart is breakin'.
You see me everywhere,
in my basket of toys, soft bed I slept in.


I had to rise above this earthly world
and leave all my suffering behind.
Although I hated leaving you,
please know, we'll meet again in time. 

Let me go where I can run free,
my  body healthy and anew.
Picture me the way I used to be,
the way I'll be when next I see you

You gave me such a wonderful life,
and I always felt loved and adored.
I know I made you happy too,
you were my person, and I was yours. 

I know you are crying now,
and don't want to give me up.
The years we spent together
were so precious to this pup.

But now, you need to dry your tears,
and find the strength to let me go.
We'll meet again one day you'll see.
We'll be together forever then.. you and me. 

We'll be together forever then..you and me.

Night Out

To The Boys Who’s A Man 

A true song about been given everything from childhood to adulthood and how that affects your personality and how you behave and see the world through different eyes.
Nothing is out of reach yet having everything is still never enough.
This leads to constant problems,  addictions and a massive worry to your love ones. 
Thanks to Nat Daniels for her wonderful vocal contribution. Nat never fails to impress and she is always professional in her approach.
We are going to release an EP on all major streaming services featuring the four songs we have recorded with Nat in the near future. 

Verse 1
You have a  affliction 
(to your addictions)
You’ve have looked death in the eye
(Shed the  crocodile tears dry )
A life that’s been designed 
(You Crashed, burnt &  survived )
In the early hours 
(Thank god no roadside flowers )
You’ve gambled on your life 
Took a massive risk that night 
Pushing against the rules
Thinking your invincible 


Chorus 

This is to  the man  who’s a boy 
Who’s had everything x2
You are down  to the wire 
Running faster getting Higher



Verse2
This is your father and your mother 
Dealing with you  like no other
Your in  danger of going to far
Especially that night in the car 
Something will give or happen 
So break the cycle of this  pattern
It’s time to grow up 
For the boy who’s  had everything 



Middle 8 
It’s time to grow up 
This is to man who’s who’s a boy x2
Who’s……..had everything x2
Whoooooooos everything x4
Everything…….

I've Got Rainbows In My Eyes

Hello and thank you for dropping by.

Thank you very much to everyone who takes the time to listen, like and share my noises. I am extremely grateful. My apologies if I take a little while to respond to those that leave nice comments.

I like listening to music, making simple, tunes when I have time, and generally faffing about in an inefficient manner. Hopefully you might like something on offer here. 

I use a Hinkler Cigar Box guitar (about $30 from Aldi, great fun), a Flying V ukulele, a couple of old keyboards, other bits and bobs, and a Yamaha tenor saxophone.
