Think About It

Well I was walking down the street when what do I see
Some very self important people coming straight at me
Had to jump real quick to get out of their way
Well, excuse me I started to say	  
But then,  I stopped to think about it
I stopped to think 

About all the fun stuff that I’d rather do
Like enjoying the day not be playing with fools
Let it all roll off like water on a duck
And all them so-and-so’s can go get

 Ah-ah-ah

Stop and think about it
Just stop and think about it
Ah yea, whew

Solo

Mmm-mmm-mmm
Now I turn on the news and what do I see
Some very self important people looking back at me
It’s enough to make you crazy the things they say
Makes me wonder how I’ll ever get through the day	  
But then,  I stop to think about it
I stop to think 

About all the fun stuff that I’d rather do
Like go to the beach or maybe the zoo
I listen to them jabber but don’t pay them no mind
Any more than that would be  a  wasting my time

Ah-huh

Stop and think about it

Just stop and think 
So stop and think about it
Just stop and think about it
Oh yea

ThinkAboutIt

Bibles, Flags and Guns

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

The flag I pledge allegiance to I hardly recognize
Now it's in the enemy camp and I'm starting to realize
We'll have to steal it back and put an end to all their lies

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

The Bible that they hold can't be the same one that I read
Cause they're ignoring every word that Jesus ever said
Self-righteous hypocrites - they're making their own bed

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

Played at war when we were boys we stopped when we were teens
The ones who never grew out of it own AR-15s
And the carnage never ends - it's what a fascist movement needs

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

They don't believe in climate change, don't see the rising water
Child brides - it's no surprise they're looking at your daughter
While they selectively enforce law and order

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

Oh the fascists they are everywhere
Yes they are the ones
Known to hide their hate behind
Bibles, flags and guns

白昼夢

seeing something never seen, and dreaming dreams within a dream "I Don't Know Why" electronic music with vocals

I Don't Know Why

Hey everyone. 2024 is coming. I sincerely hope that it will be a good year for everyone. I uploaded my performance of this song here because I wanted my friends to know that the gut strings on my electric acoustic guitar have finally calmed down. The strings have become accustomed to the guitar and I no longer hear any squeaks. Do not you think so? 

I chose this song because it's one of the songs I always play when tuning my guitar. Just set the capo on the 7th fret and play a simple chord like D, G, A7 or D, G, E and you're done. I'm a beginner when it comes to nylon string guitars, so this would be the perfect song for me to try out. I would like all of you who are practicing guitar to take this opportunity to master it. Also, I recently learned that this work, one of The Beatles' works, became the most listened to song of The Beatles' works on Spotify in 2021. It's a work that is popular all over the world. 

This is George Harrison's work. I hope that the serious wars and conflicts currently occurring will end as soon as possible. And, as George Harrison sings in this work, I hope that the day will come soon when we can all sing, `

Here comes the sun, do-do-do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here
Here comes the sun, do-do-do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right

When I listened to the recorded version myself, I was surprised at how simple it was, with no drums or bass, just a nylon string guitar solo. Should I play it again later with a pick and re-record it, or should I play it very slowly and re-record it, or should I change the position of the capo tasto and change the key of the performance? I had a lot of hesitation, but I decided to leave it as is, thinking that this was a record of me practicing to get used to playing the nylon string guitar and sharing it with you all. In other words, rather than getting confused at this stage, if you could sing along with this recording out loud, the weakness of this recording being too simple and lonely would be quickly overcome. I realized that it would be better to move on to the next step as soon as possible. So, I started thinking that my next step would be to try playing this nylon string guitar along with someone's amazing vocals on SoundCloud.

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles cover (SOLO) with a gut-string guitar

A guitar and voice demo of a song that I hope to record soon. The song is about a long-distance love.

LYRICS

I have never touched you

But you're still here

Our lives are stuck 

Words disappear



I have never kissed you 

I never will

I see your picture 

I Fall asleep



But you still guide me

Between the bars

You say “you are stronger 

Than you think you are”

 

Your words are far away

We fly and fall like rain

My lover, I feel no pain

My lover, I see your name



And I’m so scared 

To hear your voice 

But I’m prepared 

To leave this void 



You understand 

You see beyond 

Why did it take you so long





But you still guide me

Between the bars

You say “you are stronger 

Than you think you are”





Your words are far away

We fly and fall like rain

My lover, I feel no pain

My lover, I see your name

Fly and Fall (Demo)

Happy Friday to my SC friends. Today’s musical offering is very special to me because it signifies a breaking away from my old patterns. Long story short… old Justin was pretty set in his music making/production routines (solo work belongs on solo albums. Collab work belongs on collab albums. And never the two shall meet). 

But new Justin is proving to be surprisingly more flexible in his thinking; an interesting (I might even go as far as to say… shocking) result of my new paradigm. And while it might seem like a ‘nothing burger’ to most people… the way my brain is wired, this is a huge change… and one I am grateful for.

So today I happily offer my first collab song, also intended for my first hybrid album. The song is called ‘Life In Twilight’… and my guest artist is our dear friend, Carlos Vivanco (https://soundcloud.com/carlosvivanco-1, https://carlosvivanco1.bandcamp.com), offering up the lovely Alto Sax and Guitar you hear in this piece

If you haven’t already crossed paths with Carlos, you are missing out. He is one of the most prolific people I have encountered in my travels. He plays about 30+ instruments, each with impressive skill. And if the instrument doesn’t exist... he creates it himself. And 'musician' is just one aspect of his inspiring and adventurous life. He is a great example of a person who discovered his passions early, and is now living a beautiful life pursuing those passions. We need more people like him in this world, reminding us of what is truly important.

On a personal level, the stuff Carlos has taught me over the years has helped me ease into this new sober life with tremendous grace. The music theory and instrumental lessons have helped make my sonic worlds more sophisticated (and therefore more rewarding to craft). And the moving and breathing meditations (Chi energy exercises) have proven fundamental to my mental/spiritual well being too. Needless to say, he has been a major influence in my evolving life; and I will be forever grateful. 

Carlos, I am honored beyond words that you are the guest artist on my first hybrid album. It signifies a great new direction for me. I’m excited to be on this path, and I’m glad you agreed to join me. 

To everyone else, we hope you enjoy “Life In Twilight”, the first of two new songs with Carlos that will ultimately wrap up my upcoming album “What Color Is Your Paradox?” 

(And yes... this is the last song I still had in the archives from my little break; originally finished on 1/20/2024. It's all going to be new content from here on out). :)

Life In Twilight | Carlos Vivanco & GrevusAnjl

This is the 8th track in me and @texmex-shaman Stephen's "Texas Tea" playlist! I think this one has a little bit of a different flavor to it, there is an exotic feel to the acoustic guitar that really just completes the song in my opinion. He also contributed two other guitar parts which are a bit more in the background but also really help bring the piece to life. Check out our full playlist of collaborations here... working our way up to a full album soon: https://soundcloud.com/texmex-shaman/sets/texas-tea-sea

Mindless - w/ TexMex Shaman

lyrics:
Just another second before i blow you away
just another hype before this decadence
U r about to be eliminated beyond this fence
u know u don't have any decent defense

That's the condition shit
where all the people spit
the gratefulness that should exist
but got lost from people's fist


Just another war about to begin
that's the people's choice gathered on one regime
U r about to be eliminated beyond this world
u know u don't have any decent kind of word

Now the history repeats itself
just another book from the shelf
just another hit before this demolition begins.

(p) & (c), 2024.
