WATER TO WINE

Mixed and Mastered by Kat Hendrix at Absolute Time Studios, Vancouver, May 2025
 
About the Song

"Water to Wine" is a song about the appeal of perfection we often see online, contrasted with the seemingly unremarkable and ordinary lives that most of us lead. It’s a reflection on the emotional toll that comes from chasing validation through likes and follower counts— and the emptiness that can follow when the spotlight fades.

Our value, though, goes far deeper than what shows up on a screen and authenticity holds more power than appearances. Take a deep breath and if we look up from the scroll and take a brave look at the world — and each other — we might find something much more real!

Behind the Song (from Goff Johnson)

Ironically, while the message of the track talks about isolation and the cost of surface-level connection, the making of Water to Wine was the exact opposite of that! It came to life through collaboration with the incredibly talented Todd J McLean, who, in addition to his awesome vocals, and red-hot music connections, also created the cover art (Woman in Yellow Chair) for the track! The overall result is something far richer than either of us could have created alone.

Working together brought depth, direction, and new energy to the song — proof that the best things happen when we connect for real. No filters, just music, shared purpose, and mutual trust!

Final Notes (from Todd)

This is my first collaboration on SoundCloud. I could not have been more fortunate than to work with Goff Johnson, an immensely talented singer/songwriter/musician. When I first came across Goff, I listened to his entire Stories of Stardust album end-to-end and I was so impressed with this concept and significant body of work. I highly recommend checking it out on Goff’s SoundCloud page. https://soundcloud.com/goff-johnson/sets/stories-of-stardust?si=9db35566a42747b9b63a5780334f67ea&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Although Water to Wine is not part of Goff’s Stardust series, it is nonetheless a beautifully written song and it’s been a privilege for me to sing it. Besides, I love to sing the Blues. Thank you so much, Goff!

We owe a huge shout-out to both Kat Hendrix, a master musician and our producer, and Tim Porter, a virtuoso on guitar. It is a real privilege to work with these West coast legends.

Lyrics: 

Verse 1
Someone wrote a playbook for perfection 
with lives of photo ops, their outtakes seldom seen 
today a star, the next you’re a pariah 
“Be Kind” they say, but that ain’t what they mean 
 
Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine 
 
Verse 2 
Well there’s nothing quite as quiet as “the silence” 
after fame has passed, so flashbulb fast, away 
and i wonder if it really makes a difference 
cos the next in line wait for their time, to shine but not to stay”

Chorus: 
Well I never watched the water turn to wine, 
and i never took a flower out of the desert, 
but i walked until my feet bled, and I looked until I was blind, 
and I reached out for a hand to hold in mine

I accidentally came across bowie and queen's under pressure song - and fancied that it would be some challenge to do an ok cover version of that of course most iconic tune.
And yeah I was right - a tremendous challenge;  that on many an occasion I was on the border of giving up on.  Then after bloody mindedly continuing, it slowly took a shape I could listen to:)
There are lots of different feels in this piece of music and all quickly stuck together. In this version I had to give the spacey feely part in the middle of the song a bit of extra breathing room, but then took out a lot of the long snappy fingers ending - seemed like a good idea at the time.  My excuse - I'm not even inclined to perform my original songs the same, so performing other peoples songs strangely turn into versions as well. Ha ha . . . 'Oh well!' 

Thank you soundclouders and music buffs for the listen up!
cheers

	 I can't hit that  top………can't take it any longer
	 0.1% ……….not taking new members
	They say you got to give your life to me
	They say they'll help you dig your grave
	Still shucking that corn for da man who don't mourn you

	What you gonna do when the world won't play?
	What you gonna do when we break those chains?
	What you gonna do when we're face to face
	See our blood, sweat and tears,……. maybe a little taste of
	Peace …………Love…….and some of that Amazing Grace
	
	Pre-ch
	Down for the count now, I really had to meet ya
	rolling on the ground without your power, without your millions
	Leaking out the pockets of the towered coward leaders
	Bribes, lies, recognize you ain't got nowhere to rise

	I refused
	I will not be used
	Wont give my life away
	Gonna make my own plans

	Cranking out the metaphors better than a Brautigan

	Outro
	
more detail on the song production process below for those who care to dig deeper:

I happened to surf across an article about Richard Brautigan. I found the story mildly interesting. The article's author was writing about a recent biography that had come out about Brautigan.  The  picture he painted of the man did not seem flattering.  In fact, he made him sound like a real misogynistic, drunken asshole which I am sure he very well may have been.  However, what caught my eye in his write-up was a reference to Brautigan's book called "Trout Fishing in America".  

I recall chuckling at the way the article's author stated Brautigan used the phrase "trout fishing" or "trout stream" in ways that made the reader double-take. Some of the book's cultural popularity was misleadingly due to that title's use in the more conventional sense. However, Brautigan would personify the phrase "trout fishing" onto people or places or things throughout the book. This was un-conventional for the time and trippy to me. It created a sort of ear-worm of magic on me during my own song development process. It was a needed hit of hippie, beat generation, creative juice just in the nick of time. The trout stream which had been simmering for close to a year was dusted off, revised and finally completed.  

This song may be about my ongoing discontent with the state of our world. It may be about my deep conviction that we can and will do better. It may be about my general state of happiness despite the world we live in. It may be about trout fishing in America.  

Thank You for sharing a moment with me. I appreciate your friendship as I continue to cobble my musical creations together one trout fish at a time. 

Here's to you with much gratitude.

Trout Fishing in America

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Sometimes people close to us pass away far earlier than expected, and sometimes they come back to visit us in our dreams.

Here's the breakdown of what I used on this track:
Drums: Logic Pro Virtual Drummer Max Punk Rock with the Bluebird drum kit
Bass: Logic Pro Thumb bass with some chorus and delay
Electric Piano: Korg SV-1 Reed EP-2 preprocessed with chorus and plate delay, post processed with echo, spreader, ensemble and flanger. With all these effects and a sustain pedal, if you hold the pedal down and repeat notes in rapid succession, a crescendo effect is created (with the built in analogue amplifier).
Synth: Logic Pro (Alchemy) Strings Morph and Buss Bar (Funky Crunchy)

MISS YOU

I see you when I close my eyes
I dream of you when I despair
Too much time since I held you
Years gone by since I saw you

I miss you
Are you watching over me
I miss you
Did you come see me

When you sat down right next to me
Did you tell me that you’re gonna be alright
Did you tell me that the future is bright
Did you tell me to not lose sight

I miss you
Are you waiting for me
I miss you
Will you take care of me

Sometimes you’re with me
Sometimes I feel good
Sometimes you’re with me
Sometimes I feel good

I wake up reach out for you
I lose myself grasping for air
It feels so real swear I saw you
Years gone by seem like yesterday

I miss you
Are you watching over me
I miss you
Did you come see me

I miss you
Are you waiting for me
I miss you
Will you take care of me

Sometimes you’re beside me
Sometimes I feel good
Sometimes you’re beside me
Sometimes I feel good

A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you
A gaping hole inside me
At all times I miss you

Miss You

Arms Wrapped Around

Often it’s so lonely – even in a pair
When darkness strikes and streets are full of fear
It’s as though love’s gone to ground
And we steel ourselves again
To faces set like masks in silent stare

But even though I’m hollow 
You’ll warm me up inside
With your arms wrapped around, 
With your arms wrapped around

And even though you’re empty
I’ll lift you up tonight
With my arms wrapped around, 
With my arms wrapped around

Yes we’re on the streets tonight – marching with a sign
Cause love is the very thing we’re living for
And when the fight will dissipate
The anarchy has fled
We’ll crawl between the sheets and bolt the door

Yes even though I’m hollow . . . my arms wrapped around

You’re wrapped around me – I’m so glad you’re here 
Squeezing me tighter – I’m never gonna you let go

Arms Wrapped Around

This track with a double title : "Uygurs - Total Darkness" takes us to the depths of the dark side and the suffering to get in, as well as to get out of it ... 
It's easier to slide towards the dark side, than to advance towards the light which always requires more effort :-) Today it's THEM, tomorrow it might be YOU! 
There are some doors you should never cross.
No assistance to people in danger! If you don't say a word, consent!
Closing your eyes and not remembering past mistakes is never good, but know that those who persecute, kill, rape, lock up, sterilize, gass, etc....
They will one day find the strength of democracies that will wake up and put a stop, once again, to barbarians, whoever they are.

Ce morceau au double titre : "Uygurs - Total Darkness" nous emmène au plus profond du côté obscur et de la souffrance pour y entrer, comme pour en sortir ...
Il est plus facile de glisser vers le côté obscur, que d'avancer vers la lumière qui demande toujours plus d'efforts :-) Aujourd'hui c'est eux, demain ce sera peut-être vous !
Il y a des portes qu'il ne faut jamais franchir.
Aucune assistance aux personnes en danger ! Si vous ne dites pas un mot, consentez !
Fermer les yeux et ne pas se souvenir des erreurs passées n'est jamais bon, mais sachez que ceux qui persécutent, tuent, violent, enferment, stérilisent, gazent, etc...
Ils trouveront un jour la force des démocraties qui se réveilleront et mettront un terme, une fois de plus, aux barbares, quels qu'ils soient.

Boundless - Paploviante

Keith was dabbling with a small keyboard. A little melody flowed.  It all flowed from there. Sometimes the simple beginnings inspire some deep thoughts. Choices always intrigue me - variations on the theme of "should I stay or should I go?" How do you weigh that decision in a relationship? The answer is in the title - when you come to the uncomfortable awareness that there is nothing special to keep you, so Nothing Special is left behind.

Nothing Special (left Behind) 

    1. In the middle of the night I slip away
    At the crack of dawn I'm gone 
    The pain inside me grows, 
    Until I have no more
    Never, never gonna see me coming' back
    Never, never, gonna see me begging' to come home—(aaaaaaah)

    2. I can only stand the thought I hold 
    When i let it go
    When I can't feel it anymore, 
    Time has made me whole
    Never, never gonna see me coming' back
    Never, never, gonna see me begging' to come home—(aaaaaah)
    (CHORUS)
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Oooooh…nothing special left behind
    Nothing special, nothing special, nothing special left behind

Where I Belong

In more and less distant pasts, I played in several hard-rock bands as a rhythm guitarist. 
I really enjoyed it. 
Currently, I have to admit that my motivation for this activity has disappeared. I have much more fun composing and recording in my little home studio.
I’m also keen to collaborate with other artists, people who want to offer their services, or people who would like to benefit from my skills.  
Do not hesitate to get in touch.  
Some examples of my musical aesthetics: Accept, Black Swan, Scorpions, Shakra, Saxon, Bloodbound, Dokken, Battle Beast, Y&T...  
I mean: rock/hard-rock on a square base.
If you've enjoyed some songs, feel free to spread the word.
I thank you so much and I wish you a lot of fun.
