To The Boys Who’s A Man 

A true song about been given everything from childhood to adulthood and how that affects your personality and how you behave and see the world through different eyes.
Nothing is out of reach yet having everything is still never enough.
This leads to constant problems,  addictions and a massive worry to your love ones. 
Thanks to Nat Daniels for her wonderful vocal contribution. Nat never fails to impress and she is always professional in her approach.
We are going to release an EP on all major streaming services featuring the four songs we have recorded with Nat in the near future. 

Verse 1
You have a  affliction 
(to your addictions)
You’ve have looked death in the eye
(Shed the  crocodile tears dry )
A life that’s been designed 
(You Crashed, burnt &  survived )
In the early hours 
(Thank god no roadside flowers )
You’ve gambled on your life 
Took a massive risk that night 
Pushing against the rules
Thinking your invincible 


Chorus 

This is to  the man  who’s a boy 
Who’s had everything x2
You are down  to the wire 
Running faster getting Higher



Verse2
This is your father and your mother 
Dealing with you  like no other
Your in  danger of going to far
Especially that night in the car 
Something will give or happen 
So break the cycle of this  pattern
It’s time to grow up 
For the boy who’s  had everything 



Middle 8 
It’s time to grow up 
This is to man who’s who’s a boy x2
Who’s……..had everything x2
Whoooooooos everything x4
Everything…….

To the Man Who's a Boy  -  Conscience of Kings with Nat Daniels  -  .wav

This is a song for my Mary, but it is applicable to all Mary's. 

This is my first attempt at recording new material since last summer, I've been writing and playing a lot, but I just haven't had the time lately to get my ideas on tape. So it's nice to get this one out, and hopefully, it'll not be as long a wait for my next. 

Thanks for all the listens and support, it's greatly appreciated as always. cheers!

lyrics

don't let the world dictate to you
be your own girl
in a world that's you

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your time 

don't let the world
loose from your grasp
come up for air
whenever you get the chance 

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your 
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your time

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
don't listen to the boys 
they all screaming that it's true

you always think there's somebody 
better off than you
but there's nobody out there
can do you as good as you

so don't let the world
edit out your past
look back with pride 
and don't
catapult so fast

don't always swim against the tide
time won't always be on your side
so don't go wasting all your
wasting all your
wasting all your 
wasting all your 
wasting all your time

Time, For Mary

I want to reiterate Josh's comments in the write up below... this project was the first time I'd met John and after some emails and watching some of his videos on YouTube I'm super impressed with his guitar skills.  He has mastered the LZ catalog from what I can tell. His playing has the vibe and attitude of Jimmy Page and that's not an easy thing to do.   Hope you enjoy his playing as much as I have!

Cast of Characters:

John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin

The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony in the end vocals, mastering

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– production and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1  –-four string fretless bass, melody and third harmony on the end vocals

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and Josh were just sniffing each other out. They'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and Josh was having trouble with latency in his recording. Out of frustration, he recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, he got his recording issues settled and they continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 

  (Josh) In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Anyway, since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  
Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 

Anyway, our hope is that we did the almighty Led Zeppelin honor with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Hey Hey What Can I Do- (Eclectic Collective) w/ John Anthony

My latest solo write pro demo with session vocals, a pacy folk-pop number. Copyright 2024 Jay Rich. Lyrics below:

                    Unrequited     

V1:

I see you moping around
Well haul yourself off the ground
I hate to see you in a state
But don't go making no vows
That wouldn't work anyhow
And you'll regret it far too late
You say you're waiting for me
But did I say I'd wait for you
And was I asking you to
I know that sounds so uncool
But I'd rather speak the truth
Because you're wasting your time
And you're way out of place
In my heart there's no space
And if there were, then I'm afraid
It wouldn't be for you

Ch1: 

You've got a case of lovesick blues
And I'm sorry to be giving you bad news
It's uninvited, unrequited
It's misgiven, and it's ultimately blighted
And if you think I'm cruel
Or I don't understand
Then let me tell you I do
Oh, let me tell you I do
'Cause I've been there too

*****Break*****

V2:

So dry the tears from your eyes
Try to find a better guy
Run a comb through your hair
Then go grab something to eat
You'll soon be back on your feet
Get a man with love to share
But don't go waiting for him
If he wouldn't wait for you
And don't assume he wants you to
I know that sounds hard advice
But it's best to think twice
'Cause in matters of the heart
It's all too easy to lose
And start falling apart
That's why I'm sorry for you
'Cause I've been there too

Ch2:

You've got a case of lovesick blues
And I'm sorry if it's sounding like old news
It's uninvited, unrequited
It's misgiven, and it's ultimately blighted
And if you find me cruel
Think I don't understand
Well I assure you I do
Yeah, I assure you I do
It's why I'm sorry for you
'Cause it cuts through deep
And it makes your heart weep
So I'm sorry for you
And all I'm putting you through
I'm truly sorry for you
'Cause I've been there too
Oh how I've been there too

Mood Exhibit - Toaster

This song I wrote in 2009 and it's based on a Bo Diddley kind of rhythm, popular in the 1950's - so I live in Kentucky and the University of Kentucky has a college basketball team called Kentucky Wildcats, I'm sure you've heard of them. So one day while watching a game, this tune came to me, this is the instrumental, I had lyrics as well but they were lame so I tossed them. I also created a video for this song and it will be on Youtube soon, just a bunch of cats pussy-footing' around! 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/CymV3_qHPDs

I wrote a song for dogs a while back called "Suite: Dog Years" but this one is for cat lovers everywhere. Give it a listen, it's Puuuuurrrfect and it's the cat's meow!

Hi all, I'm a multi-genre, diversely-themed very prolific hobbyist lyricist who writes virtually with a variety of composer-singers and sometimes solo. Header pics courtesy of Wavebreakmedia and Pvproductions. Also benart75 and Vecteezy.com

All 40 listed hugely varied songs are copyrighted by myself, Jay Rich, and various co-writers, 2007-2024. There are also a number of concept video links in the describe your track section, plus many more songs unposted due to SC's free page limitations. I also have a truly massive backlog of lyrics constantly being added to, with influences too many to list. This being so, feel free to hit me up for collaborations (I write both to and without music) but be aware I only write for fun and challenge; I'm no industry wannabe and never plan to be.

Finally, please do not 'follow' me if you can't be bothered listening to any of my songs. It won't be reciprocated and I will block you. The prima donnas here are tedious and you know who you are. Ditto the bots that 'like' a track the instant it's uploaded. Soundcloud, you need to do a better clean-up job here, please take note... Overall though thanks for a very useful and generally friendly platform.👍
