Original soundscape piece for two guitars

Originally released in 2019 on Suburban Bicycle Gang's debut album Soft Balls Are Too Hard.

Suburban Bicycle Gang - Creatures In The Dark

Just keep calm
While I untie the knots
I'll get them looser bit by bit
And I won't stop

Please don't struggle now
Take a breath 
Count to ten
I'll be steady till the end
It just takes time

Take a walk around the block
Drive your good son to the shops
Check your mailbox
Watch TV
Photograph nice things for free
It's only time

I'm working at the broken things
The parts that bear my name
I"m working at the tangled parts
No fear, no blame
Let me absorb your fears
Take your worries
Your frights
Heavy traffic, parking spots 
Or lack thereof

Find a new toy, online shops
Paint little cars, kept in a box
Blend the morning, coffee three
Then make her walk naturally

It's only time
It's only time
It's only time

It's Only Time

Keep me forever

Its Only Time

And here is the last track from my album "Deliriums"! A simple little blues that tries to evoke the idea of procrastination...
Hope you like it ! :)

Procrastination Blues

This https://soundcloud.com/user-596493783 composition was destined for life as an instrumental track and found itself conjoined to my vocal.

Good Night Mr. Trinitite - A Last Days Cowboy Campfire Ballad and Ode to Bigfoot Backwoods Brokeback Mountain Love Song of The Apocalypse - - - when Dr Clay “Bigfoot” Young meets Rev JTSunrise on the Last Night of the Last Day, by JTSunrise and ClayYoung X2 Crazy Makin’s, 122 BPM, G,C,F

Intro

On the new rangeland of Bellingham
To a campfire I was led
Where a skunk-ape a-set there thinkin’
Next to some sculls a-glowin’ red

Chorus

 I a-hunker down beside him
“You wanna see-through some atom-glass” 
He’s a-lookin' like a great big half-baked ape with a scorch mark on his ass 
He set there, smoldering fur, all red n’ pink, acting funny an mean

He said 
Well partner, you can call me Mr Trinitite, Trinitite is my name

Verse 

 So I'm a-sittn’ here an a wonderin’ 
Where my baby on fire could be 
And I'm looking at that dumb-ass atom-glass 
A half-baked Bigfoot gived to me

I’m glown’ in the dark an I got me a new hole in my head 
Thank you again Mr Trinitite, my big furry-fire Bigfoot friend

Break

Chorus Refrain End

I hunker down beside him
He says “you wanna see-through some atom-glass” 
He looked like a great big half-baked ape with a scorch mark on his ass 
He set there, smoldering fur, red n’ pink, acting funny an mean

He said 
Partner, you can call me Mr. Trinitite, Trinitite is my name

Me an Mr Trinitite said goodnight there on the New Bellingham Plain 


Three days before:

Clay Young:
Here's some nonsense lyrics to play with based loosely on a true story!

"Trinitite"

I was drinking
Instead of thinking
When a stranger
Sat down beside me
And he said do ya wanna
See some atom glass

Now I look like 
A Mole Rat 
That's naked, pink and mean
You can call me Trinitite
Trinitite is my name

I'm still sitting 
on a bar stool 
Wondering why my 
Baby left me
And I'm looking at
The atom glass
That dumb ass left behind

Now I glow 
in the dark
Got a hole 
in my head
You can call me Trinitite
Trinitite is my name

The barflies call
Me Trinitite
Call me Trinitite
My friend

Ways to Avoid Losing Hope in Life

I once lost hope in life

It was the result of a culmination of several devastating experiences that I had to endure. Yet, it was a period in my life that I would never want to take back. It helped me to realize just how much we ponder when we fail, and just how much those situations build a rock-solid foundation for success in the future

And I’m not alone in the loss of hope. So many of us lose hope from time to time. When we’re pushing towards a goal and we hit a brick wall, we tend to lose sight of the bigger picture and seemingly lose all hope. But hope is defined as the expectation of good things to come

Go with what is happening when the world collapses, remain in the moment
 
Things can and will go wrong 

Of course, so many things can and do go wrong

JTS

Enjoy the Bubbly Jock / Jabberjockey music video on YouTube created by burn.it.smith here: 
https://youtu.be/dbK4fOKc-rM

I am so happy that burn.it.smith reach out and asked if I wanted to get creative with his original song, “Bubbly Jock,” and invite whoever I wanted to join in. burn.it.smith’s hip hop jazz fusion track instantly inspired and the band was obvious. All the pieces came together real nice for this “old school” jazz hip hop SoundCloud extravaganza. I hope you all enjoy!!!

And big thanks to Russ for the zaney art. Look closely and you will see lots of humorous details.

Lyrics:

burn.it.smith:
Babbling away like a bubbly jock 
Poking the bogey, talking tommyrot 
All my eyes and Betty Martin
 It just never stops
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what?
 I had enough

the Couch King:
Beware oh my
Felleeow frumious blimpyish fluemes I
Decry oh why thy
Manxome mimsyish foes who gimble through try
To snicker snack with a pack of galumphying slacks
Who lack burbling whiffling eyes of flame
Don’t they know they should go gyring back with their
Sacks to rath about where they came
With their vorpal swords hanging towards the floors
We restore our honor from the Uffish wars
As we rath outgrabe with displayed furmious frayed jaw displayed let’s go Jabberjockay

burn.it.smith:
It’s a blathering
Gathering
Put your hat in
And start jabbering
Clamouring!
What’s happening
 Lucille?

Janine Levinson:
 I got the Tommyrot on top 
The rot because the Jabbberwock
 Is walking on my head
 I got the Alice Hat on 
And now he’s walking on the hat instead
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what? 
I had enough

burn.it.smith: 
Blathering away like a bubbly jock 
Shootin’ the mouth off, talking tommy rot 
Poking the bogey, I’m at a loss 
All my eyes and Betty Martin 
The tongue never stops

Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

Give It Up

We've Only Just Begun

We've Only Just Begun - Carpenters | Cover by TexMex Shaman & REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Ballad ROCK

Everybody’s doing the best that they can
trying to find ways to help each other and
not tread on each others fingers and toes.
What someone else is going through no one knows.
It’s no bother - look after each other.

It pays to be cautious and take some time.
It’s quite important not to undermine
efforts of others trying to please.
Unchecked selfishness is like a disease.
It’s easy to hurt - it’s easy to be hurt too.

We don’t seem to notice much now
but we’ll notice it when it’s gone.
The best we can do is somehow
try to write it down in a song
so everyone can sing along
and we can hear you.

We don’t seem to notice much now
but we’ll notice it when it’s gone.
It’s always best not to leave things too late.
Memories are great as long as they last
but they won’t last forever.

There are so many things we don’t understand.
We are just simple folks who play in a band.
We have no message telling you what to do
except look after yourself and others too.
It’s should be no bother to look after each other.
Look after yourselves - look after each other.
Make sure you bother to bother to take care of each other.

No Bother

Lyrics:

What once made sense 
Falls down to my feet

And what I used to think 
Now dissolves like a dream

History once believed,
now the sun has bleached

A web of lies
Surrounds what we see

Nothing was ever real,
All made to deceive

We are at the 
edge of night

darkness increases,
swallowing the light

We scramble like rats
Fight each other for scraps

False lights explode,
To douse our fright

This coming storm 
Feels like the end

As wheat and tares 
Are separated again

Events unfold, 
draw us back 
Into eternity
We kick and scream
fighting that which saves

Why lose your soul
just to save your life?

There is no end,
in the truth, unite

The name that cannot be named
The door to all wonders
Will be revealed
Outside this dream
It calls, forever, 
forever beckoning

Outside The Dream (Hobocop & Cosmic Keanu) VIDEO AVAILABLE

I passed an old man on the side of the street and everybody passed him by. I went over to where he lay and he began to Cry. He said to me " I once was a young man, i had a house i had a Car, but i had a lot of trouble, i found the answer in a Bar, now nobody wants me they say I'm a liar and I'm a Cheat, now my life is juts this bottle and my home is on the street. They say we are all only 2 pay checks away from Homelessness....

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."
