As the title says these are thoughts for a summer day (btw, I'm not religious, but I appreciate people who practice their faith):  
- Take a break from technology here and there;
- Have some hope in humanity;
- Do what you can to make it a better world; 
- Try hard to find people who you vibe with and enjoy their company.

SUMMER SUNDAY
(c) JunkHeap Mar 01 2024

Looking at the sunrise, 
flowing through the dusty blinds,
bleary-eyed, not really wanting to wake.  
Taking a deep breath and stretching away the sleep. 
I know it's gonna be a good day.
I Hope!  it's gonna to be a good day.

Skip the 'get ready' lyrics, hit the street, 
knowing it's for sure cold out there.

I hear the sounds, and the smells of my main street,
climate change giving a bit of repreive, 
from the usual deep freeze.
I know I shouldn't say it, but I like the warmth.

The familiar people I see in the hood, 
wishing the trees were green and the sun
bathing us with its warmth, 
as the winter concludes.
We're wishing for an end to the cold,
careful what you wish for!

Ch.
I think we've forgotten some of the simple,
need  to get back to what matters.
Leave the tech, 
not a substitute for human interaction.
There's nothing that we need to argue about.
There's nothing to go on about.
Just take that day off and relax...
on a Summer Sunday.

Ya... turn on the TV and it's the same-same.
Smartphone, computer... the same-same.
Everyone trying to yell louder than everyone else.

Hearing the bell on the steeple a block away,
being a non-church type, I say hey...
Hard to say anything without sounding like a preacher,
but sometimes we need a little faith, in hard times,
a little faith, in ourselves, a little faith, in hard times,
find the strength, in these hard times, 
we want the same.

Ch. 
I think we've forgotten some of the simple,
need  to get back to what matters.
Leave the tech, 
not a substitute for human interaction.
There's nothing that we need to argue about. 
There's nothing to go on about.
Just take that day off and relax...
on a Summer Sunday.

Guit solo.

Salt into, to my wounds
Breaking all your rules
I’m not here to lose

Obtuse, abstract, complicated
The fear inside wants me to play dead…
Vanish to thin air….
This I swear

Two arrows split my ribcage
The air left my lungs in haste
Blood drained, pale, lifeless
Don’t know how I survived again

Stood up, buried my sword in his heart
Somehow, I found the strength
Push on everything you have
Use it for everything you’ll gain

Up, up, never give up, up
Don’t you give up
The world is yours

Salt into, to my wounds
Breaking all your rules
I’m not here to lose

Nothing in life comes easy
Paying the price costs more than you know
In tragedy we must stay the course
There’s no running away

Screaming out softly

First, there was amazing music made by STONERJAZZ. Then, I composed a poem and integrated it, surprising myself with having written the first 'love' poem in a long time - and to Snow White of all fairy-tale people! To highlight it all, TEXMEX SHAMAN made the music ring out even more beautifully. Eventually I created some artwork, inspired (by some reason I don't grasp myself at the moment) by those expensive vinyl imports from Japan. It might have to do with how much I value Jeff's and Stephen's guitar playing and creativity. It's a thrill ride to collab with those two experimental musicologists ;-)

"Started as a kind of Raga--Jo created some lovely handmade words- and Stephen and his beautiful Duesenberg Guitar made some amazing droning magic to complete the vision--"

"Always enjoy the opportunity to collaborate with Jeff and Jo. They are wizards with words and sorcerers with sound. Was happy to contribute a bit to this one."

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

still wearing his headphones
in the mall's thermal flow
uranium bones
intercourse afterglow

she walks down the aisle
as light as a rainbow
sunlight on the Nile
et in arcadia ego

a bodice, a comb, eris' pear
black, red, white as snow
forces align, forces shear
a million mirrors in a row

she walks down the aisle
as light as a rainbow
sunlight on the Nile
et in arcadia ego

et in arcadia ego - with stonerjazz and texmex shaman

Pieter Rotthier - Belgian artist, based in Antwerp. He produces electronic music, a blend of techno, house, ambient and experimental electronics. His music has often a darker or more melancholic vibe, often mixing synths with more organic sounds like piano, strings and brass. It is danceable, but it also serves as a soundtrack for movies, that yet have to be made.
