My Skin’s Blazin’ Thru II (Trampelfad/Mimlitsch/Langenbach/Hoogeboom)

Majesty

A bittersweet love song for former girlfriends and former buddies, who have canceled me… all is good, just love the simple riff… my wife gave me that haircut, during the Covid era, ha!😎🙏👍

Only A Fool

This song started as a jam session between me and Nahlej creating a nu metal sound by mixing hip hop, alternative with metal. Simon added further guitar licks and a solo. Our working title "Heavy Jam" inspired StevieJ to rap lyrics about drug abuse due to low self esteem and mental health issues. All thoughts running through the narrator's mind mind created a sticky heavy jam. Instead of tackling the issues, he prefers to numb the pain with meds and weed. This doesn't solve any problems, so better not try! 
Starting with a guitar theme, I could never have guessed the heaviness of the instrumental and lyrics both. Thanks for your collab, I am very pleased with the result!

The artwork has been generated with DALL E 2, but I invested some work cleaning it up and adding details with a graphics tablet.

Nahlej: composition, guitar, bass, drum programming
Nadine de Macedo: composition, arrangement, drum programming, production

==== LYRICS ====

I'm not ready for the world today
Already going through hell today
So anyone who tries to talk to me
They'll be hell to pay

I got a mental list of all the shit 
I'm dealing with
I know I'm not the only one 
who'll be feeling this nah

I don't need politics 
adding to the stress
Finished school time ago
so why another test

Trying to focus on me just being the best 
but I can't 
when there's so much
shit running through my head

Numbing meds so I don't feel the pain
Even little miss sunshine 
couldn't stop the rain

Ain’t lifting the finger, nah
Not today, so get away from me
seems you got a lot to say
and I forgot to say

I'm staying in one place 
all it takes 
is one look at my face

I'm not playing,
There’s nothing you can do
to change that
So just stay back

and accept that that's who I am
Staying in bed with a head like
Like heavy jam

Yeah, heavy jam
I’m in bed with a head like
Like heavy jam

The doctor's prescription 
just ain't enough for me
I need some king size Rizla
and some Godfather OG

Yeah, now I can say that my life
is so sweet
Just one thing missing,
that one thing's me

I'm existing 
but I'm not living
I'm resisting 
cause I'm not giving

Anything away 
about the state of my brain 
I'm just saying 
you can't take it away

Like all good artists
I'll just harness the pain
and create a set of lyrics
that make people say
Man, I feel the same way

I'm sure I'll smoke my way through this
Always the optimist, 
advice from the doctor is 
at some point you're gonna
have to put a stop to this

Will I listen? 
Nah that's not who I am
It's just another day in bed
with a head like heavy jam

Heavy Jam
Heavy Jam
I’m in bed with a head like
In bed with a head like
Heavy jam

I'm not ready for the world today
Already going through hell today
I'm not ready for the world today
Already going through hell today

So anyone who tries to talk to me
They'll be hell to pay

Heavy Jam

Heavy Jam (with Nahlej, Simon Ashby and StevieJ)

This track was created in response to someone's inquiry about what our sonic interpretation would be of Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken. We felt this tied into our planned topic for our upcoming release of Acceptance, perfectly.
We all "find ourselves" at the proverbial "fork in the road," throughout our lives. We can choose to sit there and "drown" or become "paralyzed" in worries about which fork will be "the right one," while trying to "sift through the evidence" of what's worked well for others... or we can do what simply feels right for us, radical Acceptance of Self. 
Additional choices will have to be made by us, upon reaching each impending upcoming fork, and we can become more "in tune" with the wisdom we've gained in life... looking at everything we know, everything we thought we knew, everything we want to learn, experience, feel, express, etc. and realize maybe the purpose of C19 "on a grander scale" was to help us realize the brevity of life, what's truly important to us underneath everything... all the judgments, fears, facades, aka... the absolute BS... and help hopefully more people figure out it's up to each of us to set boundaries we want and deserve for healthier living. 
If we want all people within our life purview to respect and honor us with honesty, loving, and fully supportive relationships, etc. then, we need to set the boundaries of intention to not be treated as a game, as an option, etc. no matter the relationship type. It's up to us to make our wants and needs of support known to those within our circles and make the necessary changes when we are shown anything "less than" what we know and have stated in clear, (not uncertain or "disguised" terms or methodologies,) we need. Stating what we want or need and honor those who have the forthright energy and awareness to tell us exactly what they want and need and whether they are in alignment with our wants, needs, goals in living healthily... and make the best decision for us. 
The frequent misinterpretation of Robert Frost's poem is The Road Not Taken has changed to The Road Less Travelled, whereby folks believe in one fork or path is better than the other. Evidently, that was not Mr. Frost's intention, as this poem was a sort of mockery at a friend's indecisiveness and choosing military service; and where because of his indecisiveness, in part, it caused his friend's swift demise. Therefore... for me/us, our interpretation is to simply not stand "forever" at the forks in the road. Don't be dwelling upon every shoulda, coulda, woulda... but, know who we are, stand firm in all we are, know what and who it is we want in our life, and be bold and brave enough to clearly and decisively tell them... not play games or "try to protect ourselves" from potentially being turned away, having our feelings hurt by being "rejected" which is never truly about us anyway... it's about each of us being who we are and feeling and living fully into ourselves being who we are called to BE and HOW we are called to BE. So much of life can be spent in riddles and going in circles; but, if we'd stop "spinning our wheels" and simply choose the fork that we are drawn towards... it is ALWAYS the right one, at the right time, going the direction for the life lessons we need in that timeframe. The roads are similar and may often go towards the same destination. It's all about the different lessons and scenery we'll see along the way. Some may have more waterside, some more rocky cliffs or terrain; but, it doesn't make one any less beautiful or worth taking. Our forks are the forks that spoke to us in each moment, new forks always arise... and one may eventually traverse towards the same path or road we chose not to initially take, if and when the timing is right for us. Until then, follow the fork or road of our heart's whisper... it doesn't ever steer us wrong. Even in the potholes along the way... there can BE BEautiful reflections in the puddles from any rain.

 THE BUS by Jeff gardiner

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe

music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed
Come along, you're all invited to ride the bus with us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus
