In my teens I read all of Carlos Castaneda's books. Carlos penned his philosophies in what is likely a fictitious story of fictitious characters where he teaches shamanism. Whether or not Don Juan was a real person and nagual to Carlos doesn't matter to me, he still shared some amazing truths on existence through his experience and imagination.

When reading the books I listened to one album. Good Gods Urge by Porno for Pyros. It's a very interesting nugget on association and musical memory for me as that album still to this day brings me back to the world of Don Juan whenever I listen to it.

It might not bring you to the land of Don Juan and his buddies but it's an epic album anyways!

Good Gods Urge ~ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kpws5lQlKajtCUR-4CPawHNggyxiggQBc&si=qfnVYmDk0sZQpoPj
I believe Porno for Pyros wrote a lot of it travelling the world for detox!

Thanks Carlos 🤍
Thanks Perry 🏳️‍🌈


The Wheel of Time

The Universe flows all around us
Energies unknown and I'm composed of it
My power rests in the knowledge I hold
Prepare my encounter with infinity old

Nothing is a gift
Know truth the hard way
Go to knowledge like battle
Assured
Wide awake
Know your fear
Respect
Gone the fool
Even suffered defeats
Become life making tool

Find terrible fatigue
If we dwell on the self
We must not be blinded to everything else
Where one energy flows through us all
Be wise through all atoms and let fatigue fall

Let's set to learn
Laboured love for these cells
As we move past the fears of unatural hells
Barriers of brain
Clouding clarity
Come man of true knowledge
Turn wheels of charity

Lose the anger people
Observe and judge clean
Mend this infinite journey from point of esteem
That balance important
My anger is folly
Acknowledge their acts and just project jolly

Does the path have heart?
The choices are millions
At the end is nowhere
But the walk is fulfilling
We bring change without fear or ambition
To the wheel of time
End warrior transmission

The Wheel of Time

I was going to write a song about a political figure, I won't say the but name I'll use his initials: 
🍊💩🤡.  But i decided he takes up too much space in my brain, and in the world consciousness,  as it is. Withholding people's food as a bargaining tool to take away their healthcare, is just another typical day here in the usa. Anyway, instead I made it  into a breakup song. kind of. I kept the original title
(Rerecorded the vocals and fixed some of the more glaring issues, and it is much easier to listen to now)

In case you forgot, 
Our house is still burning, 
You set it on fire and then you moved on
To the new home you’re wrecking

You think you've won 
Not because you’ve got everything 
But because you’ve got everything that i love
And now I'm easily forgotten

And That's the cruelest thing of all, 
You no longer see me here
And As i need and i bleed and i hurt and i grieve,
And everybody else thinks you're a knight on a steed

But me, I'm not mesmerized
I see right through your disguise
I see how little could you care
I see it all so clear

Do you remember 
the first thing you were taught when you were young
Did they show you how to care, show you how to share
And follow The golden rule

But you turned in to this
someone that doesn’t know what’s right from what is wrong
someone that only causes harm that only leaves you scarred
And suffers no consequence 

But that’s the strangest thing of all
they think you're some kind of hero
And that’s the strangest thing of all
While I'm standing in ashes of that mess you caused

This is something I've had in mind for a while, and was planning to put it out for Halloween, but I'm really slow.  It's a macabre spoken word thing about a travelling circus that's a little 'off' in dark and unsettling ways that you can't quite put your finger on. Originally I thought it would sound good as an old timey Delta Blues with acoustic guitar accompaniment. But since I can't play, I enlisted the help of a fellow Soundcloud artist whose music I admire, Remnant60 (@remnant60). It just so happened Bill had previously posted a guitar track that he left open for collaboration. I downloaded his track, but it was left on the shelf for a while, until this came along, and I thought it was a perfect fit. 
It kind of borders on the edge of creepy cool and just hokey. But it's a fun bit of storytelling, and I'm grateful to Remnant60 for letting me tinker with his wicked slide guitar track. 
I strongly recommend listening to this with headphones for the full effect. 
Hope you dig it!

LYRICS
A travelling circus creaked into our little town
They set up in Duggart’s field by the old burying ground
A ramshackle lot ‘neath the moonlight’s glare
With their trinkets and their theatre, put on an evening affair

Chorus
From village to village and from town to town
When the circus came they put their stakes deep in the ground
They promised spectacle, laughter and mirth
The travelling circus, the greatest show on Earth

Inside the big top it was crowded and hot
Everyone was kept waiting whether they wanted or not
Something in the tent corner was circled by flies
And I noticed a bruise under the flower girl’s eye

(Chorus)

The horses were skittish when they caught sight of a whip
And a big toothy grin was painted over the clown’s lips
The ringmaster never looks you quite straight in the eye
From the moment you enter he starts waving goodbye

(Chorus)

Travelling Circus (collab with Remnant60)

A Kind Of Life (Memories Of Silent Hill)

I recently released a track entitled "The 18th". Nothing to do with this project, but the title reminded me of a great song from Wire which I always wanted to cover in one way or another. I started working on an electro version of it and was going to perform the vocals as well. As luck would have it, I encountered some difficulties with my audio interface and put in on the shelf for a few days. Then it struck me ... Fornicata! He could easily handle the vocals..and really do them justice! I could hear him singing the track in my head and it felt so right. Huge thanks to Jesse for tackling this project out of the blue. Enjoy.

Reviewed, it seems
As if someone were watching over it
Before it was
As if response were based on fact

Providing, deciding, it was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it, it was not there

Renewed, it fought
As if it had a cause to live for
Denied, it learned
As if it had sooner been destroyed

Providing, deciding, it was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it, it was not there

Reviewed, it fought
As if someone were watching over it
Before it had sooner been denied
Renewed, it seemed
As if it had a cause to live for
Destroyed, it was later based on fact

Providing, deciding, it was soon there
Squared to it, faced to it, it was not there
