Solitudiano

thanks for listening to my little ditty. 
lyrics.
know my friends we shall live on
if anything can take us out
it won’t be a 
little bug.
it will be us, by our own hands
and those who chose to make each day 
a little less
hard to live. 
all lost souls
rest as one. 
lets have a moment together
we might never
get again.

a moment together

On the way to ..., part I

A song about human and "read-only" memory marketing.
I wasn't sure I could remember the words while recording vocals, but fortunately my friend Jeff @user-911083679 checked out the lyrics before this song was released, so I'd like to dedicate it to him.

They are selling memory
for computers and for human beings
Mystifying our history
so we just don't care about anything
We are buying memory
for computers and for human beings
Let them teach our history
so the system will just work, you'll see
Manipulation is now paid
You keep repeating
whatever they say
Your opinion is their prey
They'll tell you their tales
and you will obey
Your consensus is their prey
but you keep supporting
whatever they say
Manipulation is not layered
They'll tell you to obey
and you will
I have lost my memory
Should I get me a stick or is a card okay?
I don't know what happened last year
so I don't care about what's going on today

Memory

You've Changed  By Sucole & 6qsax

Matthew 18:21-22  New International Version
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times”

70 Times (Matthew 18:22)

Update:

I just learned that James Horbett, whose music inspired this song, passed away last year after a courageous battle with cancer. 

His wonderful music, song craft and incredible talent will always remain an inspiration to me, but the world is a poorer place without him.

RIP James Horbett, 1987-2019

Based on a chord sequence from the song 'There's No Constant' by James Horbett, this was the first rhythm guitar song I wrote using my 12-string guitar.

Lyrically inspired by the song 'Wharf Rat' by Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia, and (somewhat obviously) by the movie 'On The Waterfront'.

Lyrics:
When I was young and I was strong
Back when I worked the Waterfront
I know I could have been someone
So long ago....

Once I was loving, I was loved
I never thought I'd have no-one
I know I could have been someone
Now I don't know...
And now I walk the Waterfront
What have you done?...

Some memories I can't forget
I know I'm not defeated yet...
I know I could have been someone
What have you done?
But now I'm on the Waterfront
What have you done to me?

On The Waterfront (Jim's Song)

Well, the only error of George Orwell was to think that Big Brother could be a so bad guy...

Lyrics

He's just the mirror of the street
Why hate him, why hate him
We want to find our place
To create our space
We want to follow the stream
To live our dream
At the top of the wave
To surf a little moment and then we drown in the sea
We feel so small – (just disconnected - must be connected)
We feel so poor – (just disconnected)
The Network is our God our mate our father the Queen Mam
The Network is our Guide our gateway our bird the boss we work for
Growing up silently, looking friendly
Gentle Big Brother's feeding our soul
Growing up silently, looking friendly
Gentle Big Brother's leading our soul
He's just the mirror of the street
Why hate him, why hate him
Smiling into webcams
Smiling all the time
We want to be at the top
Of the list of keywords
At the top of the wave
To surf a little moment and then we drown in the sea - That's life
We feel so heavy – (just disconnected - must be connected)
We feel so empty – (just disconnected)
The Network is our God our mate our father the Queen Mam
The Network is our Guide our gateway our bird the boss we work for...
Growing up silently, looking friendly...

Old school sampling in a nutshell. Using an Emu E4X dinosaur, best filters I've ever heard, but what do I know. The Emu was horrible to work with, that I do know. Bounced the lot to Ableton

Such a lovely little town, it deserves its own love song.

Salt River Town        (c)Chris Okunbor, October 2020

Springing rains are here again, ground is soaking down.
Rolling clouds come darkening, chasing folks from town.

Front porch singing, banjo ringing.
Front porch ringing, banjo singing.

Gonna get me a line, get me a pole, go fishing in a crayfish hole.

Rollin rains are here again.
Springing clouds come a-darkening,
Around, Salt River Town.

Rollin rains are here again,
springing clouds come a-sparkling,
the waters round Salt River Town.

Sister's Creek's got a crayfish creep, but they're running like the devil from me.
Flathead hiding at the Bend in the River, now its hurry on home for tea.

Front porch ringing, banjo singing.
The front porch ringing, banjo singing,
wise-up, about what’s enough.

Darkening clouds are here again.
And the rolling rain comes a-blowing in,
Whoa, Salt River Town.

Hear the ringing, hear the singing.
Front porch ringing, banjo singing,
learning, the meaning of enough.

Oh you know we love, 
the waters around Salt River Town.

Salt River Town

Salt River Town  (a love song for my little town) ~  Chris Okunbor

Big surprise I really should have listened
Before upsetting the few that remain
At sunrise I'll re-evaluate my options
Then do it all again

The world is full of fakes and cheaters
I've called them out so many times
Its absurd packing punches with world beaters
The seedy and the slimes

CHORUS
Life is testing and I've tested one and all
Quite perplexing quite how many I've appalled
Muscle flexing - acting big before I fall
There's no proof
I'm the man who cried wolf

Did you hear the one about the fella
That won big and was made for good?
It was me!  Well follow me forever
I really think you should

Your face, the features of an angel
A glow surrounds you everywhere that you go
Such grace but flashing red with danger
Suspicious but don't know

CHORUS

On the way to ..., part I
