a lovely piece of personal 1960s nostalgia........your family is so lucky to have this wonderful musical history

Interesting and different... makes you think. Pure magic.

Like the chord progression !Very nice work!

Retro Rock

A summer sort of sounding track...

I've always found the transition between two worlds at sunset to be fascinating so this is my attempt to translate it into something vaguely musical :)

Well the night’s effervescent and I’m on fire
Full of anti depressants to blunt my ire
Well aware of the presence of my desire
It feels very pleasant as I get higher
And I’m clad in a fashion to catch the eye
So why does everyone ignore me as I walk by
It would be a different story for a different guy
But I’ll never find the glory unless I try
So why do I lie so low 
Why don’t I let them know
Let them bask in the glow
Of my ghetto falsetto 

Most are fucked up from the drugs they take,
and don't care to interrupt all the love I make,
but I can't quite erupt so, I'll simply fake,
and make believe
that I have climaxed, because all the noise
that keeps me far from relaxed and trapped in the void, 
I've always had a clean nose but perhaps I'll toy 
with singing in falsetto. 

These streets are full of cackles and high pitched screams
A ghetto manifesto haunting my dreams
Monotone narration to a story I know
A baritone ending won’t leave me alone
I’m not crazy it’s the world around me
I’ll deal with the shit eventually 
Then get past the truth I know
That I’m too low for ghetto falsetto 

But it don’t mater how high or how low 
Unless you mean it nobody will know
All you need is the seed and the get go
Let go of the ghetto falsetto

ghetto falsetto (with Harmful if Followed and sixstring mac)

Gouge Away (Pixies) COVER BY DELAFLOR

Like many others, my family tree has countless branches. One of the largest branches stretches across the Atlantic to the Parry family in Wales. I had the privilege of knowing my great-grandfather, William Parry, who studied law, worked in  Washington D.C., and made many trips to Wales throughout his life.

William’s father, Edward Parry, was born in 1842 in a small stone house in Mold, near Flint, North Wales. According to my grandmother's notes, Edward worked in a coal mine and a chemical plant before taking a job on a small freighter that sailed between Liverpool and Dublin. His time on that freighter must have sparked a desire to travel, because at 26, he arrived in North America on St. Patrick's Day, 1868. He was the only one in his immediate family to do so and quickly established a new life and new home.

Of course, I never met Edward Parry, but I've come to know him through my grandmother's notes, along with a few photos and a couple of books he purchased as a young man.  From the items he left behind, I know that he loved music and poetry, was a hard worker, and raised three kind children who made the world a better place. This composition is inspired by his life and the family I have yet to meet who still live in Wales.

Simple Original track
Lyrics/vocals by me
Music made in GarageBand

When I was younger I sometimes got depressed. I didn't know how to handle it. But as I got older I become more known with my mind and body, and learned how to deal with it in advance, recognize the signals that came first... And I got through  :)

Lyrics:

I see the big black hole
Right in front of me
Whispering evil in my ear...
Must avoid falling into it
Have courage
Show no fear....

My heart is beating
My blood is pumping
Can I find another way.....
Feeling lost
Feeling scared
Should I run, or should I stay....?

Small steps around the hole
Falling to the ground...
So much pain as I crawl
But I got through
A new day just began....

I got through!

I Got Through (Original)

Updated 10/02/2025 Why has it been so difficult for everyone to agree that we are destroying our planet? What would it take to change the course of events? Can we finally solve these challenges without violence? Have we learned nothing from the past??? Why have we become so disconnected? 

I love this quote from Carl Sagan's book Contact: “You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.”

Lyrics
Here we are so close  
But still so faraway
What have we lost for all
The comfort we have gained​
Such clever minds but still
We’re disconnected souls
And in my heart
I worry for the future yet untold

In a hundred years 
what will everybody say?
How could we lose 
The beauty of this place
Why does it take so long only
To open eyes to do what’s right
Maybe this is all we need
A billion six to all agree

This is my life
Half now gone by
Still there’s much time 
To make it something good yeah
I can do it 
I can be the difference
Gonna make things better
Just a little at a time

I confess my apathy
But now I am aware
I walk upon the earth 
As softly as I’ll ever dare
This thing is big
Much bigger than my life
Bigger than yours
To find solutions to our perils
They cannot be done alone

Out among the trees 
will the little children play
Or is all we leave them's 
Just a memory of this place
You and I we may be strangers
Here we are
In this together
Maybe this is all we need
Maybe this is all we need
Can seven billion all agree

Won't go lightly
Fight for something
I'll make my  life mean
Something that is good
I can do it
I can be the difference
I can make things better
Just a little at a time 
Just a little at a time,  yeah
Maybe this is all we need 
That seven billion all agree?
(Heavy sigh!)

Once I Found It
Written by Rocky Mountain, around midnight, 11/12 May 1977

Brian Reeves (aka Polar Bear & The Rhubarbs):
  Vocals / Guitar / Mandolin / Harmonica
Recorded in Coventry, 1978...I think…

When Bri was a mature student at Warwick University, one of the things I looked forward to most was the ‘clunk’ of a Jiffy bag on the front door-mat, almost invariably containing a cassette of his latest demos.  “Once I Found It” comes from one such, entitled “IHOHO RADIO”, which took the form of a pseudo radio broadcast with Bri as DJ.  It’s his voice you hear both announcing and talking all over this Polar Bear & The Rhubarbs classic – where are they now, eh?  
Once again, this is the only version of the song we have, hence being presented here as it appears on the original IHOHO cassette. The cover art is from one of Bri’s own  lyric books, the reason I’m able to be quite so precise about the date it was written…
 
Lyrics

Harder it is more you must get away
Getting away is easy if you run
Running is easy if you’ve got the breath
Breathing is easy if you’ve got the air

If you can, you must
If you can’t, you bust

Smiling is easy if you’ve got the lips
Laughing is easy if you’ve got some joy
Happy is easy if you’ve room to sing
Singing is easy if you have a voice

If you can, you must
If you can’t, you bust

Chorus:
Once I found it, once I found it
Once I found it on me – I let it go
Once I found it, once I found it
Once I found it on me – I let it go

Good timing’s easy if you’ve got the mood
Mood comes so easy if you’ve got the beat
Beat comes so easy if you’ve got the dance
Dance comes so easy if you’ve got the feet

If you can, you must
If you can’t, you bust

Repeat chorus

Another demo.I need to finish it at some point ...

Often Times Inside ~ One and Other

She Said:  This song started when Gary came up with this awesome groove and slick/sick synth line...I was hooked the minute that I heard it.  I so much enjoyed watching/listening as this piece grew layer by layer...Gary's awesome groove was born and then he came up with the concept...how we sometimes focus on the "outside" of things and really don't go to the root of the issue which, most often times lies inside...This one is a bit of a back and forth...question/answer kinda vibe between us...Gary came up with the beginning lyrics and then passed it off to me to come up with the ending ones...when we create, it truly is a back and forth, cyclical process...we truly do vibe off of each other as we go from verse to verse...and we have so much fun!!!   All credit goes to Gary for the vocal melodies ALL of the music and the entire production side of things...he has truly blown me away (once again) ...not only do i LOVE his voice so very. very  much and think he is an amazing writer...but, his guitars just do it for me...those walls of sound he creates with those heavy chords are just what i like and I find it a true honor that he continues to create such awesome music for us to sing upon :)  

He said:
Well Jaime pretty much said everything I was gonna say except the kind words she said about me but I think she totally ROCKED her vocal and lyric on this piece and love her resonance on the chorus. She always finds these killer harmonies that really sound amazing to me and on this tune its no exception. We always have a great time going back and forth and forth and back as we build the tune. Another great "inisde" memory for me absolutely:) We are already working on another piece that will feature heavily Jaimes Piano and Im excited for that already as well !

Often Times Inside (One and Other)

what you gonna do to change
yeah I wanna hear
From you what your gonna do
and how your going to affect 
an external change
Can ya tell me now
How ya plan on doing this
As im curious as to your methodology
to all things outside our-self

in reply to your question 
it's not your place to know...no
it's an instinctual response
to an always natural seeming way to go
but as I stand aside from this
i see there may be some other kind of approach
it may be that i've overlooked it
or that I didn't really wanna see
to look upon the inward 
is where I need to be

why do we look to the outside of us
when the problem is often times inside (2 xs)

what you gonna do to change
yeah I wanna hear from you what you're gonna do
to try and work upon the outer you
can you tell me now
as the ladies go
in and out they flow
what your process be
can you share with me

in reply to your question
cause I know ya that ya wanna know...know
the ladies satisfy my need to deflect
a connection with one for which to reflect
what i seek i shall not find
through multiples... no peace of mind
this cannot be the answer
this cannot be the way for me
to look upon the inward
is where i need to be

why do we look to the outside of us
when the problem is often times inside (2 xs)
