Slow River (Val Akey & Kontra Sz collab)

Mike  created this wonderful song .  I am so glad he asked me to participate .   I just love this old tune also recorded by Merle Haggard.   Such an emotional  song with deep meaning.  Thanks again Mike for letting me join in on your excellent version   I hope SC listeners feel the same

If I Could Only Fly (Blaze Foley cover by Lefty Mike and Chuck Aaron)

This is a song that Chris wrote and shared with Ken and me. We all used BandLab to work on the song together. it started with Chris' badass bass line and arrangement. Ken added some killer drums, in a very odd time. then I add some guitar over the top. I really like how this sounds like we're in room jamming together. Also, Chris produced and mixed this one, and another excellent job he did! We all hope you enjoy it!

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

This one is something I've been playing over and over for months, never really having any definite lyrics, just all subconscious meandering, never wrote a word down, a little different to my usual process. 

lyrics 

All men are strangers to the touch
one femme fatale with the golden locks
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know it's hard loving one man
but you must do all the best that you can
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know that the word is out
all over town
they only pick you up
right before
when they're knocking you to the ground

cu me ce va I heard him saying
but I don't care for the game that you're playing
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know that the word is out
all over town
they only pick you up
right before
when they're knocking you to the ground

I know that In life is strange
stuck on the inside of a hurricane
and there I will remain 

Thanks for listening and inspiring folks, always greatly appreciated 🙏✌️

The new sun moves up
It's rays heat on my skin
The shining river
Leave it calls and dive within
The solvent river
Flows down where I can't go
The shining faces
Of everyone I love
The clock is ticking
It's breath right on my brain
The heat is stifling
Makes me long for summer rain
I'll wake up new born
And raise my head to the morning sun
The cold night thickens
When Winter’s touch is on your mind
The plethoreeere…….t
A song tucks in to wave me awake
And when I'm on the ……. bank
I stand and look ……. down

Slave To The Device - Music & Lyrics by REKHA - IYERN [Fe] 

Slave to the device
I'm a slave to the device
Slave to the device, slave
I am a slave to the device 
And that is right

Friction, a false sense of addiction
Friction, a false sense of addiction
Friction, friction, more friction
Never ending friction
A false sense of addiction

I'm a a slave to the device
Slave to the device, I am
A slave to the device, a mere slave
That's right, I am a slave to the device

Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop
Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop

Slave, slave, I'm just a slave
To the device, that's right

A slave to the device, I am
A slave to the device, I am
A mere rotten slave to the device

Messing with my mind, with my mind
A slave to the device
Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop
A slave to the device
I am a slave to the device, that's right, that's right
A rotten slave to the device
I am a mere slave, to the device
