Haven- One and Other (original Instrumental)

She said: this is a tune that we started before we took our Road Trip...lol. Gary sent me a snippet of music that he had created which, at that time, was just a bit of a silky yet bubbly-ish kind of synth melody. it had a really cool bounce to it..but, it was also kinda "soft" feeling (to my ears)...that snippet inspired me, and i was able to create a few piano melodies for Gary to build upon...i was and am completely blown away by all that Gary adds to such simple piano melodies. He has a way of adding "just enough"...different sounds and different textures that keep your ears interested from start to finish. In this tune, he also added some "vocal synth" stuff that he's never tried before...which, i think, turned out way cool! The guitar lines/melodies he created for this bring such a STRENGTH and a presence!! When Gary plays...he PLAYS....not just notes...he brings feelings, and i love that so very much!! When i listened to the end of this piece for the first time...it brought tears to my eyes. SO very emotional to me...as the title suggests...this is our Haven...this is where we share our emotions, musically...hopefully, when you listen, you will "feel" that too :)

He Said: As anyone who knows Jaime knows she is what we say or call "Good people" she always has a kind word and always has a positive outlook on things. She will support those who support her without a thought and even some that dont support her.  She always says the nicest things about me and others. She often times calls me a deflector cause I get all red faced at her compliments. Listening to her you would think she has this minor part in our creation process... but this is a lie !! She contributes so much as far as beautiful soundscapes that inspire me and unique ideas to the sounds and lyrics that in general she is the foundation to the music and I just build around that core bright center. This tune is no different... all the piano she came to this song was the inspiration for the rest of it.  I had a great time weaving around her piano here and I really enjoyed the times when we go back and forth on the creation of it. Thanks to Jaime J for all of that :)

Those memories

I appreciate the opportunity that this time gives me to reflect on my values, ideas, and beliefs. The interactions between the different generations, cultures, environments, and technologies will constantly be an agent of change and catalyst for our further evolution. I wish to be a part of this change with open mindedness, free thinking, and a nonjudgmental attitude. 

Massive thanks to Tophonicus who got this track started, i don't know...maybe a year ago...It requires a lot of patience to work with me, lol. Tophonicus' original track is massive and was instantly inspirational. 

Many more thanks flow out to She's Excited for assisting with the vocal arrangement and adding some pure style to the track. She's Excited is incredible and I love working with her. I bow down to Joerxworx, Styrmonix, and Alex Sinfield for their passionate, skillful, and creative horn blowing contributions. I want to go on tour with all these guys!!!

Finally, big thanks to the one and only Russ Sinfield for his many hours mixing and mastering and actually making this song sound good. I often give him a mess to work with, especially since I only record with my built in computer mic and refuse to use my real mics, lol

Lyrics: 

I feel the pain and I wanna 
ignite
You feel the pain and you wanna incite 
We feel the pain and we wanna start a fight
fight
Put us all together and shit about to go down right

tell me bout your trouble i can always tell you double we rebuttle to rebuttle struggle just to validate the struggle using mental muscle as the words start to fumble and the logic starts to crumble gotta hold it all together and stay inside the bubble
now i’ma break free from all that 
the truths no longer evident as lies become more prevalent from shouting out of sentiment
now we ain't gonna take it back

yea
now we ain’t gonna take it back
yea
now there’s no turning back
yea
now we ain’t gonna take it back
yea
now there’s no turning back

we all done being polite wid it
time we all sayz it like we feelz it 
fuck any feelings time to handle your biz
people out there bout to grow up real quick 

it’s about freedom of speech, it’s about freedom to preach, it’s about critical thinking, it’s about not simply believing, it’s about having discerment, sometimes it’s bout fucking the government, sometimes it’s admitting your wrong, sometimes it’s bout not getting along, 
it’s always bout seeking the truth but it’s not only bout speaking and hearing your truth, it’s about growing our rights without infringing on rights, it’s about being taking pride while showing love to the people worldwide
let’s pause 
for a moment now
let’s pause 
just for a moment now
let’s pause 
just for a moment now
let’s pause 
and give strength to the cause 

Sit down, be still
Isn't that nice

Hey Hey
We are the ones
No More
We are the ones
Hey Hey
We are the ones 
That we've been waiting for
And we are the ones
To know on your door
You can't ignore us anymore

I’m about to blow up, all you gotta do is show up and the fists start to go up and the (click click) start to throw up and the (siren) start to roll up see the whole worlds gone and woke up take close up we done grown up real bad 
the devils done shown up torn up and real mad 
shit about to get real quick cause we’ve had
enough of all that wack shit talking smack shit we ain’t gon be violent but aint never gonna be silent

LYRICS
=====
Come on
take it if you want it
I don’t have the energy
it’s up to you

rise up
show them you won’t be surpressed
the noise may be relentless
but you’re no fool

i can feel the shifting of the sands
i can sense the motion of the lands
someone said a mountain can’t be moved
but I have seen it happen

now I see the rising of the sun
history cannot be undone
but a new chapter has begun
and the power is ours

Rise Up (collaboration with Grand Space Adventure)

All through the years weve tried to change
but everyone stays the same
after all these years
there will come a day
when everyone will finally have to change

everyone will change
for free

Change

Above The Plateau - RJ Chevalier & Dylan White

A new collaboration with another SoundCloud Artist.
It has been a pleasure to work with(Clive)Winkandwoo.
Check out the great work of Winkandwoo; https://soundcloud.com/winkandwoo
Lyrics and vocals: Winkandwoo
Lyrics:
You told me everything was yours
And so I totally ignored the fact
That you were shouting about your rights
Like it was always in your sights
And I would always be the loser
And you could always call the lawyer.
You're shady, You're shady.
My instinct told me long ago beware.
Ulterior motives and a jealous stare.
He said you're the stupidest he'd met.
He said that he bailed you out of debt.
He said he regretted getting hitched.
He said you're a spoiled little bitch.... bitch!
I saw right through your crock of shite
The crocodile tears were a sight alright
Your performance wasn't flawless
My review would say "just gormless"
You are the one who made him make a will,
I bet you didn't like that bitter pill.
My instinct told me long ago beware.
He said you're the stupidest he'd met.
He said that he bailed you out of debt.
He said he regretted getting hitched.
He Said everything when we bitched.... when we bitched.
My instinct told me long ago beware.
Ulterior motives and a jealous stare.
My instinct told me long ago beware.
Ulterior motives and a jealous stare.
My Instinct...

My Instinct (Feat. Winkandwoo)

Happy Halloween!!

Play Time for those addicted to misfortune
words and music by chris pendergraft

watch out that
angel’s got a wicked 
disposition

its wings are chains 
and its chains are radios 
Got a switchblade 
sentiment
with extra cinnamon   

its wings are    
and its chains are radios 

Play Time 
for 
those addicted to 
misforture  
for those 
who live this mascarade
Why live
trapped between indeciscion
while the pilot has left 
the cockpit
And wandered far 
far   far away 

watch out that businessman
got a worthless
proposition
his wings are fame
and his fame is fleeting

Got a lie 
for an opening 
and big bag of
nothing 
its wings are    
and its chains are radios

The Shining One reaches a sort of "emotional maturity" where he decides he is more tired of dying than he is of living, which ushers in a new age of grace for the shining one. Here, he reflects upon the many lives he has lived, and the wrongs he has committed in the past.

Obscure Ritual

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)

Yo pensé (La sexta vez)

As We Go - Original track from One and Other

She said: this song started out as a really cool percussion/synth groove that Gary came up with...he sent me the snippet and a BPM and we set out to create some piano that may fit the groove/vibe of what he had started...this song, like most of our pieces, just sort of evolves by a "back and forth" of ideas between Gary and I...once i came up with some piano, Gary took those few snippets, added them to what he had..and then created an entire piece around and with them...he amazes me, how he creates our pieces layer after layer after layer...i LOVE to listen to the tracks grow!!  We both really were diggin the energy and the flow of this track...and we had much fun laying down the vocals which we did in the back and forth style as well... Gary wrote all the lyrics and came up with all the vocal melodies...so gifted he is with both things! i love the lyrics he came up with...and i REALLY love his vocals in this...there are many layers of "Gary/Jaime vocals" in this...some very low tones from Gary that i rarely hear...but, may request much more often now  :)
I absolutely adore the music that comes out of Gary...and thank him (much) for continuing to share his musical gifts with me...and for grabbing that guitar and giving us all some of those AWESOME Phaige guitars to enjoy!  

He Said: One this about Jaime and I is we never know what we are going to do, and a Disco track has been on the radar for a while but we had talked about doing a cover of the Bee Gees "Stayin Alive" with a heavy groove..This would probably be more like Prog Disco...heh. Without rehashing what Jaime said I wanted to mention that when Jaime sang this track in the beginning she was sick with a cold and we got some tones from her that I thought sounded very cool.  As we progressed on with the track she got better but even sick Jaime sounded great. I also love the piano parts she invented for this piece as well. This one is a bit different but I think its still very much us. I had a blast with this one and I know she did too...

As We Go (lyrics by One and Other)

Chorus
Walkin in the dark we gonna light it up
We gonna light it up 
as we go

Verse 1
When we find ourselved in a tunnel of strife
were gonna share ya a secret for before the afterlife
a pack of matches or igniters not gonna do
a old perspective onna total world changing view
Is coming your way was always here to stay
there is no game to play, what are ya gonna say
lets get on out knees and pray
Verse 2
A selected few,.. no way its a total decision 
arrive to by us from internal reflection and free
from external deceptions and somewhat 
compelling arguments to the pardoxical truth
of what it is, and how it all manifests in way
that can only be described as a freedom that
defies all logic... are you wantin to be on board on board

AS WE GO

An original inspired by my good friend Will

Lyrics
I've always been waiting, for some kind of possession
I'm a driven kind, that deserves a slight concession

Don't be fooled by my, my inspiration
It comes at a price from, a grand elation (re:GOP)
I'll move around, I'm on the ground, really down

Your lips they glow like, lights in Paris,  let's move on 'til the dawn
I make no promises, but your Will and stones
I'm asking for your sympathy,  for your broken son, this lawless gun

You're so easy, you're soo ee-asy, you're so easy,  you're so fine  (GOP background singers)

We're grabbin' all the cats without permission
Taken them when I want
You can study this bastard's position
but you'll never get what you thought

(The Fake Press)
Ignorance and money
It's all you know
What you gonna do when the world's gonna know

...I've already got the sale
Now I'll make you a good proposition
You stay down there, cuz I'm on a mission
A tremendous four years. No, I can't be done
I'm going for eight,  fore! so I can own the sun!

You're so easy, you're soo easy, you're so ee-asy,  you're so fine
Solo
You're so easy, you're soo easy, you're so ee-asy,  you're so fine
Solo (fade out)
