It still can be done
It still can be won
I'm not the only one who believes son
Take this it was mine
for such a long time
be at your best never question your own mind
if I fall always carry this proudly I did it for you and now that they found me 
I really should go but I'm here to stay to see it all through all of the way
am I out of my head now? 
am I better off dead now? 
am I a liar trying to be who I'm not just like you
running in circles
filling in deep holes
against a tide that abides to no strongholds 
final retreat to where I can meet you 
I will survive its a lie I still need you
so truth be told
the truth is bold
my truth is sold
engrossed in gold
no one will know how far I'll go to win my last attack against the rats
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I liar trying to be who I'm not just like you
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I out of my head now
am I better off dead now
am I liar trying to believe that I'm not just like you

in late December 2015 my father-in-law was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and moved in with me, my wife and 3 children. For the next 15 months I witnessed a man fight like I've never seen a man fight before. With all odds against him, doctors telling him he had weeks to live, he pressed on and proved them wrong. I wrote this song during that time that he lived with us. I look back now and realize how much I admired his perseverance, his will to live, his belief that he would beat it "when I'm done with this cancer" he'd say. I didn't realize that this song was about that until after he passed in March of 2017. That's what I love most about writing music. We miss you Rick!

Happy New Year from The Welcome Parade!!

We hope 2022 will be the start of something quite exceptional for everyone.  I think we are all due a bit of a respite from the current state of affairs! 

Lyrics:
I can feel the fire living in the rain
Pay witness to the pleasure hiding in the pain

To hear the craziness of those that you deem sane
A circle left unbroken we'll travel once again

If not today, maybe tomorrow… 
If not for joy, maybe for sorrow…
If not to lead then maybe to follow…
If not to steal then maybe to borrow…

To feel as broken, as I seem to be
All surrendered out my friend, embracing my defeat

The mirror changes nothing except the point view
A gap, a hole,  a thing that takes my place,  takes my place with you

If not today, maybe tomorrow… 
If not for joy, maybe for sorrow…
If not to lead then maybe to follow…
If not to steal then maybe to borrow…

If not for joy, maybe for sorrow…



The Welcome Parade is proud to release our first two tracks of 2022

The Ready -  See "The Ready"

Not Today - This ones development followed a different path than what normally happens in our band.  As usual it starts on Skype...ends up discarded to the "we will get to that later" pile.  The melody however simply refuses to leave my(Jeff's) head.  I string together a rough rhythm guitar track and send it off to the crew and say in the email....this is what this is about for me and I am compelled to finish this. 

Thom sends back a written chorus....and what a chorus it is.  I do a quick performance and once I can hear the thoughts in real time... the verses slide right out of my head on to paper.   Jay moves to the Rhythm guitar, Jeff to lead vocal and bass,  Thom on the lead and aux & rhythm guitar work.

Normally in development the drums and bass get locked in first so everyone can grab on to the vibe once its all figured out.  In this case...the bass was the last instrument to be figured out.  It was a wonderful opportunity to play off my band mates with the bass.  There are times where I rotated to the speakers and imagine my friends in studio/stage across from me as I start digging deeper on the bass.  Something I don't always get to enjoy but something so seductive to feel! 

I hope one day the world looks at us and says...we got to get these guys together!  If not I am just very happy to have a couple of friends with a musical connection that exists as something so natural, it is difficult to keep the components separate, to realize where one ends and another begins. 

You guys rock and I am so glad to have you as friends and musical companions...rock on mi amigos!

Lyrics  by Keri Johnson : 

These city lights still shining
the same ones you and I walked under in the rain

And that song you loved still playing
and their words an echo of what you tried to say

Meet me by the light of the moon
cause I'm still listening in the other room

Meet me by the light of the moon
I know your dancing in the other room

And though my heart is breaking
and every broken piece the life we knew

And though I'm here still learning
not a day goes by without me missing you

In The Other Room   🌓    (Keri Johnson . Prod pb)

AN EXPERIMENT WITH SOUNDS

Next To Her (2022)

The epic saga, ‘Land of ZED’ continues! About 1 year ago, Uziel, Stonerjazz and I started a collaborative prog rock style concept album around the concept of ‘Johnny and his Magical Squeezebox’. We’ve been having a lot of fun playing with different styles, breaking all the musical rules, and writing our own soundcloud inspired mythology. 

For the past 3 songs we’ve been working with a new collaborator, Francesca (a.k.a. Zed) who has added a cool new twist to our sound.
And on this track we’re pulling in a fifth artist who contributed an amazing set of lyrics: Jo Richter (a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches). Thanks for joining us!

Lyrics:

Pt. 1

the shining stone
deep in the mountains
the golden glow
brought forth by fountains
raising in moonlight
raising in moonlight
the golden note
created a player
weaving the node
to cross the mire
of red-shifting ire
of red-shifting ire
the jet black stone
deep in the mountains
wailing in woe
brought forth steep chasms
sucking up moonlight
sucking up moonlight
night‘s dim vibration
created a slayer
cloaked in delusion
trouble to sire
with red-flaring fire
with red-flaring fire
oh, flyers beware
the world is on fire
oh, walkers beware
of footing the mire
oh, jonny beware
never to tire
never to tire

Bickering bikers boyish bravado..emboldened they sly and Jellyfish Souls.
To Plant a finicky trickity fine bomb.
in the administrational heart of Zed.
in the mountain's monstrous mouthcave
Where Roy resides and cruelty is King.
For fear of ferocoius felines prowling the ring.
Imposed by the iron imposter this fine will ask
each creature looking more than three feet ahead
to forfeit three loaves of of freshly baked bread.
Those that cannot comply will lose the sight in one eye…

Pt. 2

Crystalizing at caverns edge
Mouth all shining as we make our descent
We outta be... weary and beware
Perhaps more troubles ahead?
Guided ourselves past the terrors
Into starlight shifting patterns
Of stalactites in space underground
We out to be wary and beware
Perhaps in this beautiful world
More troubles...
Ahead?

The Administrational Heart (Land of the ZED #9) w/ Uziel, Zed, Stonerjazz, and lyrics by Jo Richter

Rich Man Lyrics

This one is called Rich Man. In our last song, the poor man was trying to get by with limited funds. In this one, our hero is just enjoying life with whatever he can. He's happy just living life.

Lyrics;
I walk in old shoes
Drive on old wheels
Don't have much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that's getting me by
Got two feet on the ground
And my Head in the sky

I travel lightly
Not much to my name
But I've got all I need
Just the same
I'm a rich man

Wherever I'm at
Is where I want to be
And I'm living my life
Like this world's made for me
I'm a rich man

I have my friends
And my family
They're all the best people
And they're rich just like me


I've traveled the highways
In sunshine and rain
Slept in a boxcar
Of many a train
I've loved and lost
And I still feel the pain
But life is for living
And I can't complain

I don't need a thing
To prove my success
Nobody out there
I need to impress
But I'm a rich man

I do what I need
And that gets me by
Two feet on the ground
My head in the sky

I might walk in old shoes
and drive on old wheels
Not much money
But that's not how I feel
Cause I'm a rich man

I'm a rich man
a rich man
a rich man ...

Rich Man

its a song that is using the metaphor of a tsunami to illustrate the wave of destruction that will drown the elite power structure that is on the way out 😉

GET INTO MR BILLY KORG ! https://soundcloud.com/billy-korg
lyrics :- we warned you , we told you, get ready now , it's time to prepare, get ready now , it's time to beware, Where're you gonna run to , when you see the tsunami , who you gonna fight , it's just you and who's army.

The Mysterious Decibel - Deep Fried Heartbreak 💔

Part of an original music short series

Lyrics, instrumental, Vocals, Sounds, mix, song structure - The Mysterious Decibel

Vocal mix/master: Mark McClellan 

Listen to the instrumental here:
https://soundcloud.com/themysteriousdecibel/deep-fried-heartbreak-instrumental

Lyrics:
Why did you pull my heart right out of my chest?
Throw it on the chopping block with all the rest?
Dabbed them all in sauce, Cuz you said that's the zest!
The oil screams with the final quest!

To get the.. 
Deep fried heartbreak
A stinging flavor
Deep fried heartbreak
Am I my savior?
Deep fried heartbreak
We're all in the line
crystalizing, capsizing, going south of benign

I am the eater
The cheater
the breaker
the taker
The shadow of misery that meets your maker
Can you pick which one is yours?
No, cuz you're dead!
You were dead before
Now your heart is the dance floor
Down here where no water exists
I drink the tears of the broken, love fades in the mist
Until I slash out your heart, while I steal another
Manifest them all on the surface, smother them in butter!

Deep fried heartbreak
Deep fried heartbreak
Deep fried heartbreak
We're all in the line!

Deep Fried Heartbreak
