Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

You wear your winter coat of pure cashmere wool
I'm in the valley low, you're up on the hill
An icy light is tracing steps to my door
Don't know how much more of this I can endure

We live to fight to die for something you believe
And when it's over you'll give a victory speech
But I'm no martyr I'll not go gently into the night
My blood may dry but I wont give up the fight

* And you can beat me to submission in these cold, cold hours
Make for me decisions from your ivory towers
But don't you know for everyone there comes a time
Out there lies tomorrow waiting across the line

They say the heart of man is wicked above all things
And sometimes heaven is a place for peasant dreams
You've forgotten what is mine and yours and God's
You want it all you say no matter what the cost

But I am everywhere since Abel I've been killed
And you are many like Legion always will
You make and break, mend and bend every rule
But for my children's sake I never was your tool

*

Across The Line

Suzie Q is a tune with quite a long and rather remarkable history. This Classic was covered by many famous artists and bands, before it caught fire again as a breakout Monster Hit for Creedence Clearwater Revival (re-released on their 1968 Debut Album). The CCR version is still a primary frame-of-reference for me, but just re-created my own way with all due respect to the Original songwriter, Dale Hawkins. Hawkins wrote and first recorded it in 1957. Seems there's still a dispute about whether the '57 song was a remake of an earlier Sonny Boy Williams ditty of the same name, released as early as 1939. Anyway, vocals, all instruments, and production for this version by RiffBeach via RiffWerx Records & Production.  Hope it's enjoyed?  :D)))

Suzie Q - Version

Suzie Q - Version - Classic Vibe 50's Tele Tone

This song was written by Chuck Berry while in prison and was recorded
in 1964.  This " poor boy" traveled across dozen states by bus, train and
plane to get to his promise land (California).  It was also recorded by
Elvis Presley .  Remember, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Freddy Weller,
had a hit with it also.  Louisiana's own Johnny Allen also had a hit with
it here in cajun land.  Having a little fun with this one.

We’re Heading on Up
But, We Keep…. 
Falling Down
Gotta’ pick ourselves Up
From the cold, hard Ground
Our knees are scuffed
Our Bones are sore
Our minds confused
All those Lies…..
And so much more
Don’t give me excuses
Don’t you criticize
One day you’ll wake up
And You’ll realize
So, Pick It Up
Don’t Put ‘Em Down
Your Time is Up
Don’t Look Around
Don’t You Look Around

Estamos subindo
Mas, nós mantemos….
Caindo
Temos que nos levantar
Do solo frio e duro
Nossos joelhos estão arranhados
Nossos ossos estão doloridos
Nossas mentes confusas
Todas aquelas mentiras… ..
E muito mais
Não me dê desculpas
Não critique
Um dia você vai acordar
E você vai perceber
Então, pegue
Não os abaixe
Seu tempo acabou
Não olhe em volta
Você não olha em volta

DOWN IN THE VALLEY			
COVID HAS CARVED			
A DEADLY PATH			
LIKE A MAD PSYCOPATH			
DOWN IN THE VALLEY			
THE DEADLY VIRUS			
LAYED PEOPLE DOWN			
IN THE COLD...COLD GROUND			
DOWN IN THE VALLEY			
WORRIED ABOUT FAMILY			
FEELING FORGOTTEN,			
SICK AND DOWNTRODDEN			
DOWN IN THE VALLEY			
NOT ABLE TO SEE FAMILY			
FACE TIME WAS NOT 			
THE SAME AS REAL TIME			
DOWN IN THE VALLEY			
SOME WERE PRAYING			
SOME  LOST ALL HOPE			
MANY ARE STILL CRYING			
DOWN IN THE VALLEY			
GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN			
SPRINGS OF BLESSINGS			
CAN STILL FLOW IN THE VALLEY			
DOWN IN THE VALLEY			
DON'T FEEL DOWN AND ALONE			
JUST CALL OUT HIS NAME			
THE ONE WHO OWNS THE CROWN AND THRONE
DOWN IN THE VALLEY

Seafaring Wanderer 
Produced, Written & Performed by Nat Daniels & Craig Durgy

Starlight star bright 
I wished upon a city light
That the Western Winds will lead me to you
Like a long desert road with no detours or turns one can miss…
Ending in arms wide open
That greets me for certain.. with a kiss.

Oh that sun sets low 
And time waits suspended,
Mesmerising me, like the warmth of your smile
And though I’ve seen it all, the seafaring wanderer
Has found nothing new …
All this time I was searching for meaning
I found it in you.


Starlight star bright 
The bourbon made this night all right..
But the city streets, holds empty and cold
Every neon sign flickers a heart beat the beckons 
“Come on home”..
Every newspaper flutter, is like Angels that Mutter.. 
“Call his phone..” 

Oh this road I’m on has one destination,
Every star I choose just leads me to you…
Yes I’ve seen it all, like a seafaring wanderer
But one thing held true!
All this time I was searching for meaning 
I found it in you..

I was thrilled when Andy and Gaz invited me along on this collaboration.  The Lyrics are beautifully written and sung by Gaz and lends itself to great story telling. It was lovely to join him and to bring my creative spirit in harmonisation to the table.  Andy wrote the beautiful melody and created the gorgeous Instrumental track (which has a hauntingly beautiful Guitar solo) and then brought it All to life with his incredible Production / Mixing skills, breathing life into the song,  and giving it a depth of sound to make it "sparkle".

Lyrics:
Our Devine intervention - Gary Brown and Andy Hall.

Standing on the bridge
Staring into the water
(I’ve kept you waiting
An hour and a quarter )
My Head tells me to leave
My hearts a little more naive
(We’ve had 27 days apart
To rekindle this flagging heart )

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To were I love being yours
And you love being mine
Our Devine intervention
Needs to work for us this time

V2
Finally you arrive in your own chaotic style
(So my car went and broke down
And i walk the last 3 miles)
I get the big puppy eyes
And a cute little sorry sigh
(What lies beneath in this rivers deep
Are the same things in the
secrets we keep)

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To were I love being yours
And you love being mine
Our Devine intervention
Needs to work for us this time

V3
(Let’s stand back to back
Walk in a different direction)
If we just keep right on walking
Then we have lost all affection
(If we both look back and then we stop
We won’t lose what we’ve got)
Well I stopped and looked back
(I kept walking down the path)

Chorus
Our Devine intervention
When we had each other’s attention
To we’re I loved being yours
And you loved being mine
Our Devine intervention
At least we know now this time

Divine Intervention - Nat Daniels & The Conscience of Kings

Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj (Johnny Minstrel)

By the sweet waters we stopped to drink
All through that evening didn't sleep a wink
You spoke of movement inside the womb
Seeking out shelter in a poor man's room

Chorus:
And with the sword of Gideon we traveled on
Found the balm of Gilead in the breaking dawn
A war or healing, what is it we bring
From the Stem of Jesse, a promised king

Rumours surround me, rumours and lies
Will love allow me its tender prize
Where are the shepherds and the songs they sang
Like a host of angels when their voices rang

Chorus:

He will walk among us when the hour comes
Will we be certain he be the one
How they rise among us through devious seed
The kings of mammon in idols of greed

Chorus:

Ryan Joshua on synth pads, backing vocals and keyboard generated "choir" - and a certain craziness possessed by a truly great soul

Flexmode(feat. Big Xodia)

My own derivative AcoustaTronic version of a Gatlin Brothers creative interpretative of a Trad Gospel tune predicated upon the story of The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32).
Prodigal Son 
(Referencing The Gatlin Brothers-Gaither 'Come Home' Version - 1997)
There was a young man who had the best of everything
(Oh Yeah) He was the first born of a wealthy man
But he was not satisfied with the best of everything
So he took his possessions in his hand
He traveled far and wide and he tasted worldly pleasure
Deep inside he was lonely without measure
And he wound up in a pig pen when he was nearly left for dead
Then he raised his eyes toward Heaven as he said
(Chorus)
I will arise and I will go back to my Father's house
I will beg him to forgive me for the fool that I've been
I will arise and I will go back to my Father's house
I will gladly be a servant if he'll take me back again?
I was a young man who had the best of everything
I was the first born of a hard-working man
But I was not satisfied with the best of everything
So I took my possessions in my hand
I traveled far and wide and I tasted worldly pleasure
Deep inside I was lonely without measure
Wound up in California where I nearly died
Then I raised my eyes toward Heaven as I cried
(Repeat Chorus)

Prodigal Son - AcoustaTronic Version

Just a little song that I wrote awhile back.  I intended to rework but
never got around to it.  I kinda lost interest in it.  Oh well, seems I 
have a lot of these unfinished projects

AS I DROVE UP THE DRIVE WAY
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG
MY WIFE CAME RUNNING OUT
SAYING HURRY WE DON'T HAVE LONG

I CAN BARELY REMEMBER THAT DRIVE
CARS KEPT GETTING IN OUR WAY
FINALLY WE ARRIVED AT HIS HOME
I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY

HE WAS SO VERY YOUNG
THAT'S WHY I'M WRITING THIS SONG
LEAVING US A FEW MONTHS AGO
WHY...WE WILL NEVER KNOW
OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN
BUT HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
SOME CALL THIS...THE GOOD HURT

HE NEVER KNEW FATHERHOOD
AND HIS LIFE WAS VERY SHORT
HE WAS LIKE A FATHER TO MANY
THE MEMORIES BRING US COMFORT

(REPEAT CHORUS)

GO REST HIGH ON THE MOUNTAIN
IS ENGRAVED IN HIS HEADSTONE
NOW HE'S RESTING ON THAT MOUNTAIN
SINGING WITH THE ANGLES AND NEVER ALONE

WHEN WE'RE GROWIN' UP
WE ALL NEED SOMETHIN'
TO KEEP US ON THE RIGHT TRACK
HIS SOMETHIN' WAS THE CHURCH NEXT DOOR

ONLY A HUNDRED YARDS AWAY
IT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT HE SAW
WHEN HE WOKE UP IN THE MORNIN'
IT WAS ON HIS MIND EVERY DAY

(CHORUS)
EVERYONE NEEDS A SYMBOL
OF RIGHT AND WRONG
TO KEEP THEM HUMBLE
EVERYONE NEEDS A SYMBOL
OF RIGHT AND WRONG
TO KEEP THEM OUT OF TROUBLE
HIS SYMBOL WAS THAT CHURCH

EVERY SUNDAY MORNIN'
AS HE WALKED TO CHURCH
HE COULD HEAR THEM SINGIN'
PRAISES TO THE LORD

DURING HIS TIME IN THE ARMY
HE COULD FEEL HIS MAMA PRAYIN'
IN THAT CHURCH NEXT DOOR
EVERY SUNDAY MORNIN'

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO OPTIONAL)

HE WAS BAPTIZED IN THAT CHURCH
MANY YEARS AGO AND IT'S IS STILL
HIS SYMBOL OF RIGHT AND WRONG

Lady Luck…..
Well, she left me out in Reno
Just one more throw
Before the red-eye home
You know I just wanna’ hop a streetcar
Or, maybe, take a shiny limousine
I’m so tired of being crammed into airplanes
That kinda’ travel just leaves me feeling mean
(Chorus)
Well, there’s sure something in living sunrise to sunset…..
But, I’m not sure exactly what it means?
And, just some thoughts on my way back to you
Halfway - between here - and New Orleans
Remember that time down on Decatur
Or, when we first met on Magazine?
We knew that sooner - or - later
We’d end up halfway between here….
…..and New Orleans
And somewhere over the Mighty Mississippi
You know you’re right there in all my dreams
All the time we’ll spend together
Halfway between Here…. and ….. New Orleans

This is an unusual one for us as we were asked by a friend to do a cover of Alan Jackson’s country song, “Small Town Southern Man” using slightly modified lyrics to personalize it for a family member. Without access to the kind of instruments we would need to replicate Jackson’s recording we opted for something we’ve never done before, a modified karaoke track! With the instrumental track easily secured Nat and I simply added our vocals using the provided modified lyrics. 
Nat added Piano on the track to personalise it.   
The photo cover here shows a glimpse of downtown Shepherd, Michigan and we hope the person for whom it is intended gets a kick out of it. We had some fun doing it. With that said, this track goes out to our friend Larry, with Super Bowl/Valentine’s week best wishes to all our friends out there in music land! 🍻🏈💝

Small Town Shepherd Man

Sweet Face Woman - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Living outside the law sometimes
Must have its own peculiar reward
I thought about being an outlaw once
But knew I’d get easily caught
Everybody wants to be someone else
We’re tired of the same old face
Moving around in dreams and thoughts
But never can leave this place

Oh sweet face woman don’t ask why
I feel the way I do
I got time to kill and a couple more minutes
Wishing that I were with you

A minute ago something crossed my mind
I can’t remember it now
So much information comes
So little we let out
We say we do the best we can
And lie about it most of the time
Just like me I’m falling to pieces
But say I’m doing fine

Oh sweet face woman don’t ask why
I feel the way I do
I got time to kill and a couple more minutes
Wishing that I were with you

I passed the old places we’ve been to
I got to get back inside
There’s something mean in the sky tonight
I need a place to hide
I hear outside the moaning wind
And listen to the haunted sounds
It seems to me the wind has learned to sing
Each of our broken songs

Oh sweet face woman don’t ask why
I feel the way I do
I got time to kill and a couple more minutes
Wishing that I were with you

The One You Love by Beth Williams

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta on a Louisiana share cropper's farm.   A lot of hard work and a lot of good memories.  Those days are gone now.  Sometimes that farm feels like a long lost friend.   I can feel the wind as it blows through my hair and smell the rain as it approaches and falls on plowed ground.

Consequences

Tough one here.  In recent years, I have lost many family members and so many friend.  The deepest cut was the lost of my beautiful 31 year old daughter a few years ago this month.  As members of this human race we all share in these emotions and feelings.  Many, many good days, some sad.  SO IS LIFE

Dreams Don T Go Away (Original)

Classic sparkly gem from 1969, originally written and performed by the most incredible and underrated, Joe South, on his album of same name. Later, covered by the infamous Brook Benton, as well as Bobby Bare, Glen Campbell and others. Always loved this nostalgic, Retro 60'sh tune. Just sketched my own way here in AcoustaTronic with all intended respect. Hope it's enjoyed? As always, any listens, comments, re-spins are all most genuinely appreciated. Thanks for making the time.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL
WAS A SMALL COUNTRY STORE
BUYIN' A COKE AND MOON PIE
IT WAS QUITE A THRILL

WHERE THE OLD MEN GATHERED
TO PLAY DOMINO'S AND CHECKERS
YOUNG BOYS GATHERED TO PLAY BALL
IN THE PASTURE OUT BACK

THE KID'S LOVED CATCHIN' FIRE FLIES
AND PUTTIN' THEM IN A JAR
WATCHIN' THEM LIGHT UP
UNDER THE STARY SKIES

(CHORUS)
GOIN' BACK IN TIME
WITH COUNTRY ON MY MIND
GOIN' BACK IN TIME
TO A SIMPLER TIME
YEA, GOIN' BACK IN TIME
TO A SIMPLER TIME

SETTIN' OUT FISH HOOKS
ON A SMALL CREEK BANK
SITTIN' AROUND A CAMP FIRE
TELLIN' STORIES AND JOKES

NO CITY STREETS OR BOULEVARDS
PLAYED SOME BASKETBALL
WITH  HOME MADE GOALS
IN OUR BACK YARDS

NO I-PAD OR I-PHONE
JUST SOME GOOD TIMES
AND GOOD MEMORIES
OF A WONDERFUL HOME

Gonna’ Be Some Change ©
Riff Beach - RiffWerx 2020
Well, You know, lately, I’ve been feeling kinda’ chained
Feelin’ just a little bit strained….
And, you know there’s Gonna’ Be Some Change
There’s just Gotta’ Be Some Change
Oh, Yeah….
Why, things they often just seem to stay the same
But, I’m getting kinda’ tired of that worn out game
Sometimes, it just all feels so lame
And, we all know……It’s gonna’ come
Cuz’ we can’t be living our lives
…….and, feeling so numb
Oh, Lord, Yeah, there’s Gonna’ Be Some Change
Cuz’ lately, I’ve been feelin’ really strained 
Just like I’ve been tied up and chained
And, I’m gonna’ just break away those chains
And, There’s Gonna’ Be Some Change
You know we all need some change…..
Cuz’ things often, well, they just wanna stay the same 
But, we’re tired of that worn out game
Tired of feeling so lame
So, we all know it’s gonna come
Can’t be living our lives and feeling so numb
There’s Gonna’ Be Some Change……..
Real Soon
Yeah!

A Life Without Sundays

Music of God  - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj

Take the ring from my finger
The shirt off my back
You say you want everything I have
Take the food from my table
And all that you need
Just leave the music of God in me

Take the chair that I sit on
The books on my shelf
Whatever you see help yourself
Take the flowers from the garden
And my stone-faded jeans
Just leave the music of God in me

And everything I worked for
The dreams I fulfilled
They’re yours for the taking
At your mercy and will
You can have the whole world
It’s all that I plead
Just leave the music of God in me


Take the bed that I sleep on
The roof over my head
All that I own is all that you get
In the end they mean nothing
Only dust in the breeze
Just leave the music of God in me

Music of God

Original Lyrics by Tony Harris (listed below)
Vocals, Melody and music by Chuck Aaron

YOU MAY THINK THAT I'M FOOLISH
FOR WANTIN' MY OWN SPACE
AND IT MAY SEEM CHILDISH
TO THE FEMALE RACE

DON'T PUT ME DOWN
FOR WANTIN' MY OWN PLACE
DON'T MAKE IT A SHOWDOWN
HONEY, IT'S NO DISGRACE

(CHORUS)
EVERY MAN NEEDS A MAN CAVE
A PLACE TO GET AWAY
EVERY MAN NEEDS A MAN CAVE
A HOME AWAY FROM HOME
EVERY MAN NEEDS A MAN CAVE
AND SOME TIME ALONE
EVERY MAN NEEDS A MAN CAVE
A PLACE TO GET AWAY

IT MAY BE A BASEMENT
OR A MAKE SHIFT STUDIO 
IF IT'S A PLACE OF ENJOYMENT
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS

WHEN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY
IN THIS OLD WORLD WE LIVE IN
WE NEED A SPECIAL PLACE
AND SOME OF GOD'S AMAZING GRACE

(REPEAT CHORUS 1 OR 2 TIMES)

2021 © Lyrics by Tony Harris (BMI)

Every Man Needs A Man Cave - Original collab with Chuck Aaron

From Emily Maguire's third album 'Believer'.

Start Over Again

I think this song is in a similar vein to two previous ones from 2019's IV: Overcoming August and Thank You.  And similar to back when I was writing OA, I've been going through stressful and painful personal issues in my life these past days and weeks.  Maybe some of the parallels are evident.
Also, the song draws from certain traits of last year's Year of the Hermit.
Enjoy!
