Excellent 70s like sound, I really miss that time with authentic songs!

Good track - Great vocals and catchy chorus.

Like RG said, very 70s! I vash deah, Shalie. And though we will have killed back then fof the ability to vary pitch abd speed independently, something seems to have happened to that quality called authenticity. You still got it!

outstanding vocal delivery makes this guitar strumming tune! Very cool!

STRIPPED WIP MIXX 3 FT JIMMY Z 13125-M3NT_21-02

Image by Stablecog AI:

When I came up with my stage name for SoundCloud,
I imagined an old organ grinder with his monkey and money cup,
cranking away on a street corner of an old cobblestone village.
But these days, the street corner was even older, as was the man himself,
along with his old synthesizer. The monkey is long gone, in case you were wondering.

Actually, I was quite surprised when the image that appeared got my glasses and my beard right, and even my blue shirt along with a pocket (where I keep my pocket protecter full of pens and pencils). Heck, it could almost have been my photo.

Ye Olde Synthgrinder

drummers paradise

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

'universe of fun (in utero)'

Verity. We like verity. Music delivers us verity. It's like a universal tool to hone and send verity to our heads as therapeutic wonderfulness...

We are very proud to present the first of many organically grown collaboration between One Man Verity Show and The Beautiful Dark. This was effortless. I guess thats the other amazing thing that real musicians can share... For years we stare through our instruments at the world of music and then someday we connect and the visions combine. We'll keep comparing our world to the world of fake music until it is the fad that it should be... AI cannot deliver you a connection like we just started. You may get a remotely similar result but heres whats real... AI has never has our eyes to look at the woerld for 40 odd years with and it never will. Heres to real human connections and real music. Cheers Scotty

Lyrics

To fungi moulded brain
Ha, who said we'd go insane!
To moderation main
Lined musical brain plane

To psilocybin liberty cap
Old medicine love to fill knowledge gap
Hallucinogenic conscious calm
Serves melodic thought through mouth and palm

We let finger run
Good psilocybin
Add to the birdies fun
Just doppler effect to dumb
One day, we'll all catch on
Sign ourselves to sound and sum
Good, self inflicted
Pure positive prone
Liberties begin to clone
We spread and hone
Bottoms up good planet of one

Let the fingers run
Run 'em for the Sun
Moon rise dear man
Flashbacks from fungi fun
The Universe we stun
Universe of fun

universe of fun (in utero) (with the Beautiful Dark)

Melting Point

A tribute song to the late great Mike Peters of The Alarm who left this world in April 2025, leaving a fantastic legacy behind, one of the good guys.
This song is about my introduction to his music and how it stayed with me shaping my music taste forever.

A cold winter night in December 1983 I witnessed something special that made me stand up and take note for the rest of my life. 
I had brought some really cheap tickets for The Police from a college friend. So off we went  me & my best mate to watch The Police at Birminghams Nec arena. 
Not really giving much thought to who was supporting them. 
We walked in the auditorium to hear the support band just kicking off their set. 
Wow the noise the energy the vocals of the charismatic front man Mike Peters and his band The Alarm .
I was blown away how they rocked this Police audience with their  powerful set  of songs it felt they had took the roof off and welcomed themselves to me.
From that night onwards I fell in love with them and a moment had happened. 
Their single 68 guns was yet to be released as the album was due out very soon called Declaration. 68 guns was an hit and The Alarm had earned their status as one of the best new bands around especially live. 
They went on to support U2, Bob Dylan , Springsteen & Queen gaining a loyal following of fans. While also touring as the headliners on their own shows. 
Mike Peters even fronted Big Country on their comeback tour.
I have lost count how many times I have seen The Alarm and Mike Peters solo shows over the years. 
I watched The Police that night and thought these guys are going through the motions and Sting live never sounded like the record almost changing his vocal style. I’m so glad I was introduced to The Alarm at 16 to show me what live music should be like. 
Mike Peters died on 28th April 2025 at the age of 66 after a 30 year battle with blood cancer. He was diagnosed with lymphoma in 95. Mike was awarded a MBE 2019 for his services to cancer care.
He was a passionate advocate for cancer care, founding the Love Hope Strength Foundation with a fellow patient and using his platform to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. 
Mike Peters also gained the cooperation of a group of young musicians from Chester called the Wayriders to lip-sync the Alarm's material and pass it off as their own. The first release by the fictitious band was promoted as a cover of the Alarm's 1983 hit 68Guns In fact it was the Alarm all along, and instead of a cover, it was a re-released version. The demo enticed executives in music & music production to record an album from the band called In The Poppy Fields which saw its advance release of the single, "45 RPM" entering Britain's top 30 chart. Critical reviews of the band echoed the promoters' official introduction of the band as a tribute to bands like Sex Pistols and The Clash with even more modern acts like Rancid being compared. The truth of the song's origin was not revealed until after the song entered the charts at number 24, a credit originally earned by the Poppy Fields from unsuspecting patrons who had accepted the act as fresh and new.
In a nutshell he duped the music industry showing them as ageist and only new cool music can only come from the young apparently.
The Hairy Hippie was his first ever band formed with his schoolmates to perform at his sister's 21st birthday party. 
So Rip Mr Hairy Hippie is quite fitting really as he had a fine mop of hair through out  his career. Thank you to Mike Fox as always for making ideas a reality with his skill sets and encouraging enthusiasm and incredible patience. 
Big thanks to Ken of K2 & The Three for his Twist style drums that drove the tune. 
Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it.

Shyntwirl - Drizzling For Love

After completing the song, I found a noticeable spread between the highest & lowest notes.  So I had a hard time with the vocals.  I could have altered the notes to fit the voice but in the end I decided to go with the original.  Please bear with my singing.

The lyrics is extracted from a lengthy poem I came across on the web.
In the end, perhaps the plot doesn't make much sense anyway.  So let's assume it's just for the sake of making a song.   See what you think.

Thanks much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
The memory of you emerges from the night around me
The river mingles its stubborn lament with the sea

In you the wars and the flights accumulated
From you the wings of the song birds rose

Cold flower heads are raining over my heart
I made the wall of shadow draw back,
Beyond desire I walked on

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

The happy hour of assault and the kiss
and spell that blazed like a lighthouse
I raise my song to you

I don't know how you could contain me
in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank

.... Solo break....

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank
Ah haaaa

In You (Everything Sank)

Special thanks to Cecilia for her a cappella ...of which I modified the tone in order to fit perfectly with my arrangement and atmosphere
