The details behind this one are in Josh's excellent write up below, but I wanted to say thanks again to Josh and Ken for taking the time to contribute to this one.  

Cast of characters: 

Quanah Stewart --vocals, lyrics
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, synths, arrangement, composition, mix, and production 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four-string fretless bass
 
This song began with Stephen and his friend and bandmate, Quanah Stewart who also sings this version, and who wrote the lyrics. They were in a band together for about 7 years in the early 2000s. When the band broke up, they went many years without playing together. Until, in 2018 Stephen started his TexMex shaman project and this was one of the first songs he wrote.  Quanah had moved to Austin in the meantime but on a visit back to Dallas, Stephen asked him to come over and add the vocal track you hear on the song.  
 
Fast toward to 2024 and Stephen wanted to remix this along with a few other older tunes. He asked his good friends and teammates Ken and Josh if they’d like to help, and of course, they were super enthusiastic.  This is what he had to say about the finished product. "Their parts blew me away.  Beyond what I expected and it made it a whole new song.  Very grateful to them both for their time and talent." As are Ken and Josh very grateful to Stephen for sharing his awesome rocker with us.  

The title comes from trying to think of the stupidest song title Stephen could come up with, on a bet. And it’s close. 

  Of course, Stephen did the honors of mixing and producing it. Ken and Josh had a lot of fun bringing this song back to life with him, whose creativity and skill are unparalleled. We all hope you (and Quanah) enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

This is the original instrumental version of the Hip-Hop track I did before I decided to add lyrics and collaborated with the talented Ian Greaves (aka @IPG1). After composing this instrumental track, Ian was kind enough to let me use his lyrics/vocals from his song ‘Modern Times’.

Here is the version with lyrics:

And here's the link back to IPG1's original vocal track; please give him a listen!:

Most of the music is performed by me, with the exception of the sampled vocalization in the middle bridge and ending, and a few sound effects here & there. The beginning starts off normal enough, but the middle section takes a bit of a left turn before I 'go off' on the synth in the second half. I kind of enjoyed working the sliders on the live synth performance.   ;)

Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:

I always played by the rules
Was so sure, I would never loose
But I lost..
Really thought in love and life
Everything would turn out just fine for me
I was wrong..

Just give me time
A bottle of wine
And I´ll be just fine..

I was naive, so believed that all I gave 
would  somehow come back to me
It wasn't true..
Thought I was leading my ship
With a steady hand
But I crashed on land
The ship was wrecked..

Just give me time
A bottle of wine
And I'll be just fine..

Just give me time
A bottle of wine
And I´ll be just fine...

I have failed, I have learned
So after all this have been good for me
I know better now..
Experience is good to have
Even though it can hurt so bad
Time will heal..

Just give me time
A bottle of wine
And I'll be just fine!

I´ll Be Just Fine  W/ Little Man Project

Lyrics: 
never meant for you to always have your way
I just wanted us to somehow find our way
But in the journey, I slowly started to fade
The man you thought you wanted I became

and now, that I’ve awakened
There’s this heart-breaking 
Divide between our reality 
And what we feel inside 

IM NOT THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS
YOU MAY NEVER REALLY LOVE ME 
ALWAYS WANTING PRINCE CHARMING
AND TO ME THAT’S SO ALARMING
BECAUSE HE DOES NOT EXIST
HE DOES NOT EXIST

I never meant for us to crumble away
I just wanted us to live for today
But in the journey, we started to fade
Loving arms turned into hateful blades

and now, that I’ve awakened
There’s this heart-breaking 
Divide between our reality 
And what we feel inside 

IM NOT THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS
YOU MAY NEVER REALLY LOVE ME 
ALWAYS WANTING PRINCE CHARMING
AND TO ME THAT’S SO ALARMING
BECAUSE HE DOES NOT EXIST
HE DOES NOT EXIST
