Daily Drops

Today we are mostly musing on hocus pocus and adding a little cereal box religion to taste.

In the never ending universe
Nothing there at all
Unaware yet dreaming
You'll hear me call

Though you don't remember
You've been here before
Time without a number
Rooms without a door

Take this gift and treasure it
A blend of pleasure and pain
You'll have no way to measure it
Before you're coming round again

Crying as you enter
I whisper in your ear
Live long and prosper
On this new frontier

As your light is fading
Life is on the wane
Have no fear of darkness
You'll be coming round again

Take this gift and treasure it
A blend of pleasure and pain
You'll have no way to measure it
Before you're coming round again

I need to put my headphones on

The voices are so loud...

I feel so much safer when I'm locked in my     closet 'cause I'm never good...

It's a real pain to be lost in my brain

I'm suddenly gone but then I'm back 

But not the same


They said there is something wrong with me

I'm suddenely gone then I come back but I'm not the same,oh my lord

They tell me I want to be a good girl

But I don't know how


They tell me I'm bad 'n to take my pills

But I don't

Cause I wanna be wild and go to hell

...Oh yeah


The voices tell me what to think

But it's sending chills down my spine


You know I'm not like everybody else

Peuh, Too bad for them


But mama you're so so sillIy 

I'm gonna have to make you pay

Keep the lights off and try to find me

But be quiet

Cause the voices are listening to us

Sssh....very quiet


It's really a pain

To be lost in my brain

Then I'm suddenly gone

Then even sooner back again

What is my name

What do you think

You can call me whatever you want

But I won't answer or obey

Cause it's fun

To be hiding away

To glide down on the rails

Leadin' to hell

Then there before

And I'll come up for air

The demon is watching me pull the hair out of my head and you can sit and watch and sit there and stare at the shadows on the walls

And danse to my beat and pass through the walls and go into your room and take out my knife...

And cut you up because

 'cause you're a bad mother

And now you will pay



So Skit So

Grace and elegance.

Ever since I saw an incredible Canadian band (Recipe From a Small Planet) do a live Reggae jam and seamlessly slide into a cover of 'Watching The Detectives', I wanted to try something similar. In this case, I did the opposite, starting with the cover, and adding a kinda reggae/dub section at the end, which starts at 3:15. 

For the dub portion, I enlisted the help of one of the best talents I know - @Llanpsych (Tez) - to add his magic and 'dubbify' the whole instrumental section at the end. I'm singing and playing all the instruments here using my keyboard, and some echo effects, and Tez did the rest to produce that authentic dub atmosphere into the mix. I recommend listening to that part at least with headphones, and hope you enjoy the result! Thanks so much Tez, I couldn't have done this without your mad skillz!

Sharp ears may notice the following 2 details: 

  -  In the last few seconds, I threw in the theme from 'The Godfather', played on melodica (see credit below). 

  -  at 0:39, you can faintly hear my dog barking in the background. I decided to keep it in, since she barked at the line, "red dogs under illegal legs", which I thought was funny timing!  :)

INSTRUMENTS:
bass, drums, rhythm & lead guitar, organ, piano, electric piano, melodica, steel pan drums, ukulele, synth horns, voice

Simulation

A song about the ultimate bond, one of unconditional love and complete surrender.

Made in October 2024.
Published in March 2025

My first collaboration with OSC PROJECT is not published on my page and is only available on their Bandcamp space. This time I do publish it on mine.

Their uplifting electronic music allows for the construction of other sounds, which are the ones I finally added, because, in reality, this composition is more theirs than mine.

If you want to hear more uplifting music of this kind, visit the OSC PROJECT page, here:

Sun & Soul (Osc Project  & Midisound)

The Smoking Trout usually sticks to sprawling concept albums but this one-off piece kind of just came together. I came up with a beat and melody that I felt was weird enough to share with Jeff (STONERJAZZ @user-911083679). He added the the creative vocal track as well as a cloned reflection of my combined instrumental tracks that added some interesting texture. (Stephen @texmex-shaman) helped us knit everything together with the killer whimsical guitar part through the middle, connecting the two verses. 

Lyrics by STONERJAZZ

Always get a little sentimental
in the middle of the conversation
when i think about all the options offered
during the assimalation

when the level of concern
and the nature of the consternation
for the mundane and the useless
made it difficult to accept or advocate the privilege
and the worship of the lucky landing of the crooked Cowboys

Though sentimental in its nature
its making meditations incomplete
and decisions Faulty
just distractions while we fiddle in the middle of another Crisis
in the simulation
and the monkeys say "Good good Real good yum yum yum yum
now we're gonna get some Yeah"

All I ever wanted.
=========================
Rekha Iyern (Voice)
Manu (Delaflor) guitar riff
Midisound (Drums, bass, guitar, and synths).

Concept created in late 2022

When I heard Rekha years ago, I couldn't stop thinking about how I could adapt a song to her voice.

Thanks to Delaflor, who had already collaborated with her, she was able to contact me and offer me a song. After several weeks of work, Manu added an excellent guitar riff that partially camouflaged my horrible synth guitar.

thanks to my two traveling companions on this occasion for their patience and dedication.

Listen to ReKha and Delaflor's music at these two links.
