The Smoking Trout continue our tale of the Quest for the Holy Dumpling. This time we're joined by our biggest crew yet! Stonerjazz (Jeff) got us started and somehow the whole process unfolded quite organically from there. TexMex Shaman (Stephen), Jo Richter, Tot (Masa), Jeff and Tea R Sea (Terry) are regularly recurring members of the band. We are happy to welcome Wivresse (Carine) and Neil Harding as new guest contributors. This was tons of fun as always, and a truly global collaboration spanning Japan, France, Germany, UK, and USA.

LYRICS

(Part I - Vocals by Neil Harding / Words by Jo Richter)

Those individuals on wheels had a hard time finding their feed. Hungry they were - for that special dumpling that connects you to anything pagans and believers alike deem holy. Although endowed with holgraphic properties, you can't walk on clouds unless they are numbered. They kept drifting upwards, therefore, slowly upwards until they hit the ceiling called Mars. Mars always happens to be where your head needs something to bump against. That's the nature of war.

(Part II - Words & Vocals by Stonerjazz)

It turned out
there was never any doubt
about
how it was gonna be

ya know it's hard sometimes
to get a grip
drifting in the corridors of time

everybody on the bus
runnin hard and hot
some of us holograms
except for Gus
he's an Alien from outer space
waiting for the rendezvous
at the window of the launch
in Oaxaca down in Mexico
Where the magic mushrooms grow

And his bus
a shuttle from the mother ship
disguised as a 1983 GMC
infinity
He's from another Galaxy
searching for the holy dumpling
just like you and me.

Hope we find that dumpling soon
maybe it's on the moon
traveling at the speed of light
we could get there sometime later on tonight

(Part III - Vocals by Wivresse)

Except for Gus (Smoking Trout's HOLY DUMPLING #9)

THE VERY DARING PIPER (Lyrics) Song for Stella

Opus82

On my cloud (collab):  
All vocals and text by Saskiagoethals (@saskiagoethals:)
music composed and played by Neno J.)

I recently noticed a very talented musician with exceptional vocal abilities on Soundcloud. I liked her voice and I liked how she approaches different musical styles. So I thought how nicely her vocals would fit in my "Clouds". That's how the clouds got their angels.

When i put my hand on my heart, and i try to feel
I try to feel what i want, what i want
I feel nothing, nothing

I wanna know do i belong, do i belong, i feel nothing

When i am sitting with my music on my cloud my feet don’t touch the ground,
when i’m sitting on my cloud
Surrounded surrounded with the sounds

on my cloud i’m perfectly happy, i feel nothing , i feel my music

I don’t want to climb mountains, i don’t have a bucketlist

I don’t wanna feel my body, don’t want to hear myself thinking
More and more i live on my cloud, it’s difficult to come back from my cloud.

On My Cloud (collab with Saskiagoethals)

"feel" is a smooth and soulful track that blends lush melodies with a laid-back rhythm, creating a deeply emotive and immersive listening experience. Rooted in neo-soul and R&B influences, the song incorporates ambient textures and intricate electronic beats to craft a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Its flowing structure and groovy undertones evoke a sense of reflection and tranquility, making it perfect for a late-night drive, relaxing moments, or simply vibing to its rich atmosphere.

feel

A summer sort of sounding track...

I've always found the transition between two worlds at sunset to be fascinating so this is my attempt to translate it into something vaguely musical :)

Sunset

Another try at a more electronic vibe for this month’s song. I’ve actually mixed this one with headphones in mind. If you get a chance to listen in this way you might hear more of the more subtle effects I’ve worked into the song. I’m trying something different here from the last few songs so I always welcome  your feedback on how successful I’ve been.

All Right Now

Silent Frequencies

Absurd borders rise where logic fractures and emotion ventures into uncharted territory. In the tension between what should be and what is, the mind restructures itself, circumventing invisible limits that should never have existed. These limits slowly dissolve, revealing a landscape where silence weighs heavily, light becomes a question, and inner truth moves with its own quiet gravity. Beyond the limits of reason, a deeper movement begins: subtle, infinite, and unstoppable.
