Lyrics:

In the tower forest rain shower
Overlook like a scene from a book
Mountain peaks that look so majestic 
Chill in the air as snow starts to fall

Forest Ranger 
Forest Ranger

Duty to protect the fragile landscape 
Uniform bears a crest with a tree
Don’t mess around or deface the peaceful splendor 
I’ll be at your campsite willing to fight 

Forest Ranger 
Forest Ranger

Aspen breeze
Hemlock trees
Surrounded by big sky 

Ducks and geese 
Bighorn sheep
Black bear red fox 

Peaceful scene
Flowing streams 
Sunrise sunset 

Six months in my isolated tower 
Time has come to call it a night
Another Ranger filling my position 
Come home to my wife and our newborn 

Forest Ranger

Rocket fuel regular
Or rocket fuel light?
Said the Venusian
He was ever so polite

She said, give me regular
And lit a cigar
He knew straight away
That this girl was from Mars

No smoking in here
You’ll blow us all up
She said, give me ya phone number
And I might look you up

He went red
She remained green
Coz Martians and Venusians
Are like meat with ice cream

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream

He went red
She remained green
But when you think about it
What’s wrong with meat with ice cream

He gave her his number
That’s  what they did
She gave hime a wink
And he fluttered his lids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
He gave her his number
And a little while later they had green and red kids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
You know what I mean

Meat With Ice Cream

Tebe Poem is High Slavonic, and roughly translates to "We Sing to You." I've seen it translated "We Hymn Thee" and "We Praise Thee" as well.

Tebe Poem

Musicanu

From our 2017 debut album which will be released properly one day soon. This song is the story of making a rough time all better again, but then there is the matter of John, and who is he in the song? I thought it was most obvious when I wrote it and that everyone would get the reference, but so far no-one has mentioned the connection or had an "aha!" moment. Perhaps one of you will. ;-) 

Pictured is Yoshi who was our first and amazing cajon player whom we greatly missed when she left for Japan. 

Does all this silence give you space
To turn things over
I hope you get it bright side up
It was never meant to fall apart like this
O babe we were never really s'posed to

You know I feel with you
You make me laugh 
I make you smile
And there's no need for goodbye
I dig you out you lift me high
Oh high

Can I keep on running with you
Close by me
I never meant to say goodbye
I want you with me
Through all of this
Oh babe
We were never really s'posed to

You know I feel with you
You make me laugh
I make you smile
And there's no need for goodbye
I dig you out 
You left me high
Oh high

He told her in the beginning she was a gem.
They had a good thing going
Don't ruin it
But they gave a little more and more and more
Hey John is yes always the answer?
Look at this mess.
They said no first
And then yes yes yes.

If you love me keep me

Dont Blame John

Across This Land (Original)

written and recorded 2014 by andrew salvner (aka pretzels malone)

the track art is the torn up backside of one of my favorite basement chairs.  my cat verbal (who ain't here no more) would go to town on my basement furniture.  we had a deal, and for his part, he did a good job of leaving our upstairs stuff relatively unharmed.  the chair from the pic is honestly not all that comfy, but i miss my buddy...and when i sit there i like to pretend that he's behind me going to town keeping his shit sharp.

the song has nothing to do with my cat.  i wrote it for a friend.

them words:
you gotta be stronger than your heart.  because he swears to you that he cares for you, but he's tearing you apart.

bonus stuff:  (who hoo...bonus!!)

there is another very different version of this song.  the music is much faster and completely backwards.  and the vocals are completely different.  i made a video if you want to watch :)

the acoustic guitar and bass lines were recorded on 4-track cassette.  i moved the tracks over individually to my laptop using audacity.  i did a ton of editing.  i then added the vocals and beatbox straight to audacity (using the 4-track as a vocal amp).

the first half of my pretzels page is pure 4-track recordings.  recently most of my recordings are much more like this.  some kind of weird in-breed of cassette and free downloaded multi tracker.

that's all.  i hope you feel bonus'd.  :D

tearing you apart

LYRICS 

8 billion people stopped praying today
Planes fell from the sky, fell like rain
Cars went crashing off of the roads
Tsunami waves landed on the coast

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Golden Gate Bridge is in the sea
The angels refused to intervene
The nations armies have gone to war
Those petty thoughts went out the door 

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Please forgive me for my selfish ways 
I know the whole world is falling away
My baby got caught up in this mess 
I didn’t try - didn’t do my best

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Begged the Whole World

Preview from 'Organised Sounds'. All guitar, Boss me70 and Logic. Album-release is planned before the end of the year. I'm looking for a label, drop me a line if you're interested!
