Miss Terious

Basically we're all the same
Gifted with a body and a brain
And a heart that beats us through all those ways
Through glorious nights and fatal days

Still there's something...mysterious

We have changed the world so much
In different ways we lost the touch
But we don't want to take the blame
There's no reason in this game
Basically...

Still there's something...mysterious

Working hard in all different ways
Winter, spring, summer and fall
All the time again and again
To deny who is to blame
Basically...

Still there's something...mysterious

Still there' something more above
A mysterious thing called love

Can you hear it?
voices bringing fear of missing out
'Lure the sailors!'
Who can tell what the song is about?

Icy seas and restless winds,
Clouds closing in
I can hear Sirens sing.

From my window,
of oppurtunity I try to get a glimpse
Of a way
To get me  - out of here

Signal tower
doesn't shine no more.
Light is dimmed
and the harbour dark.

Strap me to the mast

Four winds blowing
honeyed voices tempting us
A lover's promise
That none can keep but all of us want

Icy seas and restless winds
Clouds closing in
I can hear Sirens sing

Come and get it, she said
You can - enjoy yourself.
Don't you worry
about these barren rocks in the surf,

This shipwreck's end is oh so cruel
A life closing down
How could I be such a fool

Strap me to the mast

Strapped to the mast

Strapped To The Mast

Written and performed by BBright (Wolfgang Schwarz)

Charming Weapon

Mostly just me playing about, but there's a bit of Charlie Villiers' guitar in there too, notably giving the outro a little touch of class.

~Lyrics~
We were sitting in your back garden 
Clouds were drifting across the sky 
You turned to me and smiled
I think you had a tear in your eye
And then taking my hand you whispered,
“When I get this high,
I sometimes get the feeling I might be just about to die!”

Then with a shrug of your shoulders 
You told us about the butterflies
That there’s no way of them knowing
That their wings look like eyes
And if you consider the caterpillar
It’ll come as no surprise
Just how very little we all know about our lives

[Chorus]
Baby you kill me, all night long
Baby you’re killing it all night…

Later on that evening
the sun was streaming through the trees
You have to just surrender to life
At moments like these
We were kicking through the fallen leaves
In the pale winter sun
And though I tried to hide it, I always knew this day would come

I recall the very moment 
You didn’t even hesitate
It was written in the heavens
And written all over your face
But the storm is in the distance
The sky is a luminous pink
You can lead me like a horse to water…

[Chorus]
🎸 🤩

Baby You Kill Me

Haunted Memories (Richsoundz, John Stone)

Performed & Produced by John Stone
Music John Stone
Lyrics Richsoundz, John Stone


All my thoughts, they're still bearing traces
Your face  imprinted deep upon my mind
And your melodic, lilting voice
Like I ain't really got no choice
They're staying here inside me for all time

Even when I lay me down to sleep
You're stalking all my dreams
I  can't leave you behind
Everywhere I  see the signs
You're always present and won't let me be
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories

All my thoughts past events they're chasing
With you beside me everywhere I go
Your perfume always trailing me
And everywhere your face I see
There’s nowhere I can go that you don’t show

Even when…


I never saw it come to this:
What started with a simple kiss
Then love grew and we thought we knew
That life was long if love was true
But that was never meant to be 
When fate took you away from me
Till death us part our sacred vow 
But though you’re gone I see you now

Your spirit  follows  me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit …

Haunted Memories (Richsoundz + John Stone)

About time!
The expression “time flies when you are having fun” may be true, but time always runs out in the end!  We can only experience time when our mind is awake and in the present. The present is the point at which we toggle from the past and into the future. So, what does it mean to “live each day as if it were the last” or “live in the present”?  The smallest unit of time every recorded is a zeptosecond, a trillionth of a billionth of a second and looks like this: 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 001.  Soooo, it seems to me that we spend most of our time, in theory, in the past, because everything we have experienced and learned is stored in our mind.  We can imagine and plan for the future but can only remember the past.  Are you confused?  I am!

Girls Never Stop Dancing (Roy Roy and J.J.)

I want to reiterate Josh's comments in the write up below... this project was the first time I'd met John and after some emails and watching some of his videos on YouTube I'm super impressed with his guitar skills.  He has mastered the LZ catalog from what I can tell. His playing has the vibe and attitude of Jimmy Page and that's not an easy thing to do.   Hope you enjoy his playing as much as I have!

Cast of Characters:

John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin

The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony in the end vocals, mastering

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– production and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1  –-four string fretless bass, melody and third harmony on the end vocals

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and Josh were just sniffing each other out. They'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and Josh was having trouble with latency in his recording. Out of frustration, he recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, he got his recording issues settled and they continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 

  (Josh) In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Anyway, since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  
Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 

Anyway, our hope is that we did the almighty Led Zeppelin honor with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Lyrics:

I put myself aside
Did as you wanted
You never asked me how i feel..
I didn't say what i ment
Always let you to decide
What was the best for us...

But what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I gave you control
To lead the way for us
Thought it would be easier for me...
I became invisible
Couldn't even see myself
But i didn't have the courage to say

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

Ohhh, what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I almost got lost
Became my own shadow
Was about to erase all of me..
I realized that I matter too
And i am just as important as you...

So what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you..

Change will come
I will take control
And not be quiet anymore..
I want to be seen
I want to be heard
When i speak out the words..

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you....

What About Me W/ Janne Hennie

If Not For You
Written by Michael Duffy

If Not For You - lyrics

Every time you leave town
I feel so down
I'm in the danger zone
Anytime Im left alone

I don't trust myself
Cant you see
Your not the problem
I known thats its me

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

Your my anchor
Keep my feet on the ground
My shoulder to lean on
When i'm feeling down

Through the highs and the lows
Together we stand
You by my side
I've got nothing to hide

I'm nothing
Nothing
I'm nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me

In my shadows of doubt
When i'm feeling low
You be my shelter
The place where I go

Your the stars in my night
The moon in my sea
The purpose of
Who I'm meant to be

Nothing
Nothing
I say nothing
Without you here by my side

If not for you
Not for you
Then there would be
No me
