공책 -Notebook-

I don't know what to write
but music has always 
helped me out.
To say things that I didn't even
tell to myself.
There is always 
a little secret hidden beyond the mask
the mask we wear
to appear
what we think we are.
Once I start to write down some words
I feel like
I'm on the edge
of a steep hill where
every word is a footstep
a footstep that gets faster and faster
along the downhill.

단어를 몰라 
그들은 날 알아 
내 앞 노트 속에 그들이 나타나면 내가 얼마나 신비로운지

뭘 써야 할지 모르지만 옆에 음악 있어...
자신에게 말할 수 없는 것

희미한 비밀은 가면뒤 숨는다
우리 자신 되기 위해 쓰는 가면

단어를 몰라 
그들은 날 알아 
내 앞 노트 속에 그들이 나타나면 내가 얼마나 신비로운지

공책 -Notebook-

EARTH SCORED NULL

Spaced out baby body soul
Seven billion people living alone around this world
There is a party going in my fucking hood
Chicks will wait for something burn some Hollywood.
Spaced out baby body soul
Met with an old friend telling me cracking words
Story after story he said in the end
He was such a brother will see him back again.

EARTH SCORED NULL (Lyrics on Description)

New Vision

Written when I had just turned 15 (1982). I had forgotten about it but someone found a tape of me singing it back then. I then purchased a  MacBook in 2020 and decided to record it as a learning exercise/demofor using GarageBand. Naive and simple, but an innocent song for challenging times.
Lyrics:

John the fisherman 

They call me John the fisherman 
And I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

I live in a cottage on a cliff, 
I never move far from the sea
I live on fish and homegrown peas
And sleep with a bible close to me

The only things I respect in my world
Are god and the sea 
For they both have claimed the lives of many who meant so much to me
(I say) I never fall in love any more
I’ve been hurt too many times
 (I tell them) I know all loves pitfalls 
I’ll leave that game to the fools! 

They call me John the fisherman 
They say that I’m so hard to please
I disagree with war and many policies 
And dislike people who criticise me

All my friends and family have long since gone
And I’m left with memories 
Some say I’m mad because I talk to myself 
It’s only because I’m lonely 

I wish I had someone to love
Someone to share my life
Someone to talk to on the cold winter nights
And cheer me as I grow old
I wish that I had grandchildren 
Who would smile and sit on my knee
I’d tell them stories of my life and would love them dearly 

They call me John the fisherman and I can be seen every day
Working and risking my life as a fisherman 
Sailing out on the waves

(Hymn to the sea) 
The sea provides but takes away 
It’s power demands respect
Our care and love are ours to give
To guard and to protect 

Our thoughts and prayers are offered up
For those at risk each day 
To feed us all, may they be safe
Working on the waves

Letra  / Translated Lyrics:

(Coro:  /  Choir)
De coger café yo vengo  /  From collecting coffee I come
A coger café voy  /  To collect coffee I go

(Solista:  /  Lead:)
Quisiera ver lo que no vi,  /  I’d like to see what I didn’t see,
quisiera ir donde no fui,  /  I’d like to go where I didn’t go,
quisiera hacer lo que nunca hice…  /  I’d like to do what I never did…
… pero veo lo que no se ve,  /  … but I can see what cannot be seen,
voy donde nadie nunca fue,  /  I go where no one ever went,
y hago lo que no hace usted. /  and I do what you don’t do.

De Coger Café (with Oorlab)

The traditional “Wayfaring Stranger” has been at the foundation of North American music for at least two centuries, its origin is unknown.

Some historians have traced its genesis to the 1780s, others, the early 1800s. Depending on who you’re talking to the song may be a reworked Black spiritual, a lifted native hymn, or even a creation of nomadic Portuguese settlers from the southern Appalachian region.

According to the book The Makers of the Sacred Harp, by David Warren Steel and Richard H. Hulan, the lyrics were published in 1858 in Joseph Bever's Christian Songster, which was a collection of popular hymns and spiritual songs of the time. This may or may not have been the first time the song appeared in English print, and the songwriter is unknown. Steel and Hulan suggest the song was derived from an 1816 German-language hymn, "Ich bin ja nur ein Gast auf Erden" by Isaac Niswander.

During and for several years after the American Civil War, the lyrics were known as the Libby Prison Hymn. This was because the words had been inscribed by a dying Union soldier incarcerated in Libby Prison, a warehouse converted to a notorious Confederate prison in Richmond, Virginia known for its adverse conditions and high death rate. It had been believed that the dying soldier had authored the song to comfort a disabled soldier, but this was not the case since it had been published several years before the Civil War in 1858, before Libby Prison was put into service (1862).

Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.

[Intro]
Am  Dm  E  Am

[Verse]
Am
I'm just a poor

Wayfaring stranger
             Dm
Travelling through
             Am
This world below

There is no sickness

No toil, nor danger
                Dm
In that bright land
E           Am
 To which I go


[Chorus]
            F
I'm going there
           C
To see my father
            F
And all my loved ones
            E  E7 E
Who've gone on
          Am
I'm just going over Jordan
         Dm  E       Am
I'm just going over home


[Instrumental]
Am  Dm  E  Am      Am  Dm  E  Am


[Verse]
Am
I know dark clouds

Will gather round me
          Dm
I know my way
             Am
Is hard and steep

But beauteous fields

Arise before me
              Dm
Where God's redeemed
E             Am
Their vigils keep


[Chorus]
            F
I'm going there
           C
To see my mother
                F
She said she'd meet me
        E  E7 E
When I come
          Am
I'm just going over Jordan
         Dm  E       Am
I'm just going over home
          Am
I'm just going over Jordan
         Dm  E       Am
I'm just going over home...

Wayfaring Stranger (Mr. Saturday Night)

Landscape of the Soul.

JTSunrise cover of “The Tigers Have Spoken”, the title track of a 2004 live album by Neko Case. The album was recorded at several live shows in Chicago and Toronto in the spring of 2004. Neko's backing band featured The Sadies and Jon Rauhouse. Neko was a Seattle area musician from back in the day, she made it big an moved on 🌞

Neko Case's Introduction:
“Let's champion the tiger 'cause. You know, I think that maybe I wrote this song for many reasons But I was telling them earlier, I was in a cab in Toronto the other day And the CBC was on and they were talking to a lady Who specializes in animal husbandry And she takes care of the tigers at The Toronto Zoo. And they said "Well do you ever reintroduce the tigers?" And she goes "Well, no, because their habitat can't sustain them." And immediately I thought to myself 'There's so many extra children, we could just feed the children, to these tigers.' (Laughter) We don't need them. We're not doing anything with them. Tigers are, tigers are...
Noble!
Hungry!
Noble, and sleek Children are loud and messy I was one of those children If I were to become tiger food It would've been more noble than
Heavy!
Anyway Probably ruined the song for you now But we'll still play it for you anyway” 

They shot the tiger on his chain
In a field behind the cages
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
And he lived that way forever
And he lived that way beside them
Separate from the other tigers
He did not know another tiger

They shot the tiger on his chain
In a field behind the cages
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
And he lived that way forever
And he lived that way forever
Just as long as he could remember
If he'd wanted to remember 

It was the last time he had felt alive
When he saw that brown-haired lady
She fed him with a bottle as a baby
And he recalled her face and smile
They shot that tiger on his chain

They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain
They shot the tiger on his chain

Neko is also the Japanese word for cat. It can refer to actual cats or to characters in anime or manga that have catlike features. Specifically, the catgirl (a woman with cat ears, whiskers, and sometimes paws or a tail) is referred to as a neko. JTSUNRISE https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1OY8f-Ofd2/?igsh=ejZ2OTgweGg5Z3pk

Beneath Silvery Moon

Time for sleep
My little one
The day's complete
We had so much fun
Now I’ll watch over you
As you sleep beneath silvery moon

Close those eyes
My little one
You make me smile
Little ball of sun
Now I’ll watch over you
As you sleep beneath silvery moon

May all your dreams be sweet
May all your dreams be sweet

Rest that head
My little one
Safe in that bed
‘til tomorrow comes
And I’ll watch over you 
As you sleep beneath silvery
Dream beneath silvery 
Sleep beneath silvery moon
I’ll watch over you
As you sleep beneath silvery moon

Greetings my SC friends. I have a fun one to share with you today. In fact, it might exceed the legal limits for perky and quirky… so don’t go driving under the influence. :D

So here we are, choking down the remainder of January 2023 (try it with the honey mustard. It goes down a lot easier). Here in the US, many of us are trying to make the most of this potentially quieter year, as we count down to what I like to call Apocalyptageddon (otherwise known as the 2024 Presidential Election).

Despite (or perhaps in the face of) the ‘OMGHOLYSHITARGH!!!’ going on everywhere, I’m seeing the most interesting evolutions in this community. And it’s not just me noticing this. I’ve recently read quite a few comments about how much people have grown creatively. I’m seeing huge strides in the musical skills and songs of so many of our SC friends, many in just the past year. And I have a theory for why that is… and I am prepared to demonstrate…

Imagine for a moment that you are a human being with feelings. Someone comes up to you and says “I love who you turned out to be. You have a great mind and a great imagination. Your creations are quite magical. And I really want to spend more time in your space, seeing what you do next.”

If you’re like me, and I know I am (line blatantly stolen from a favorite MST3K), positive reinforcement like that is tremendously motivating. I can’t wait to get back to my creative space to see if I can make something even more awesome the next time. I know to a certain degree, that’s just me feeding my ego. But let’s face it. Ego is the Operating System we have been provided in this lifetime; and it does love to feed (it’s overfeeding that leads to bloating, so just try to keep to healthier serving sizes).

Now imagine again that you are one of those peeps with feels. Someone comes up to you and says “You suck. You’re worthless. You always will be.”

I personally find this slightly less motivating. And if you already have a less than ideal self esteem, that kinda crap sinks in deep and destroys confidence.

I think the point I’m trying to make is, the human experience isn’t meant to be a hermit-like adventure. I’m pretty sure loving ourselves for just being us may be one of the highest achievable goals. But as long as the ego is in the pilot’s seat, we need interaction (both verbal and physical). We need validation. We need to feel like our lives are meaningful. And we get that from each other. But it’s important to remember a subtlety… we also have the privilege of giving that to each other. And giving might actually be more beneficial to the soul than getting, where this gift is concerned.

This is where so many of you come in. You are the kind and loving voices, letting people know they’re doing great. You take the time to remind them, their creative explorations are worth the effort. Many of you motivated me to try harder through positive reinforcement, and even direct guidance. And I happily watch as you continue to do the same for the folks just starting up. You’re a beautiful bunch of people, and I admire you greatly. 

So please, you wonderful souls, keep doing what you’re doing; both being creative and being supportive. We all benefit from the kindness this group generates. We are all inspired to be better people through the actions of those who help us out along the way. You are all a huge positive influence in my life, and I hope I can be the same for you. Let’s make 2023 obnoxiously loving, friendly and funny. Let’s brighten this world again, dancing naked on the dining room table, a rose clamped tightly between our teeth.

I hope you enjoy my latest sonic meandering ‘Choosing Our Own Adventure’. :)
