What can I I say, so many John Prine songs and I love them all.  Would have loved to see him in concert but we still have his music

Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness( Cover - John Prine)

This song began one morning while I was "noodling" on the guitar, key of G, 5th fret capo using D shapes, (for the guitarists out there:), and thought it the beginning of a promising recipe for a song; but it sounded a little thin.  It needed some extra seasoning and a little protein, so I sent it to Debra Buesking for her culinary expertise and she supplied all the lovely touches it needed.  It's now ready to serve, our version of "Noodle Soup". Enjoy:)

Please enjoy my little ditty about going home from a long busy day at work , these words were formed on the cycle ride home i do every evening from the west end of London to the flat in Chelsea where i live.
Lyrics:-
Home
Where the heart is
Home
Where my mind can roam
The precious time i spend alone

When the working day is over
That's my favorite time , I'm going home
I like to be there on my own
I used to be a kind of rover
Being loud , those days are over
Home
I like to be here on my own

Thank you for stopping by and listening

Where to go 
When you’ve been so many places?
Where to stay 
When everywhere is home

Who to greet 
With these all familiar faces?
Staying put
Even though you want to roam

Oh you will find it - Ooooooo
Surely you’ll find it - Ooooooo

What to pack 
With limited possessions?
What to drive
The key lost long ago

How to pinpoint 
Where are your dear obsessions?
Never lost 
Even though the signs won’t show

Oh, you will find it - Oooooo
Surely you’ll find it - Oooooo

What to fear 
When you were never harmed
Who to trust 
When deceit is yet unknown

Who to love
When already you are charmed
You will see
You won’t question, you will know

Oh, you will find it - Oooooo
Surely you’ll find it - Oooooo

You Will Find It

I’m not the kind of guy who wants to settle down.
I’m not the kind of guy who wants to stick around.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I’m trying not to let you carry out your plan.
To turn me into a domesticated man
But when you call my name asking me to come
I run and I run and I run straight back to you.  I run and I run and I run.

I was just another fish swimming in the sea.
The you reeled me in an made a meal of me.
I was a like dog with no home who was running wild all alone
I was living my life wild and free and like animal control you came and captured me.
Now you’ve got you in your shelter and you’re taking good care of me. 
Your passion makes me swelter but sometimes I wanna be free. 

I’ll be your private Casanova tonight.
I’ll do and say all the things that will make you feel just right.
But when you call my name asking me to come
I’ll run and I’ll run, and I’ll run straight back to you.  I’ll run and I’ll run and I’ll run.

OUT OF HERE instrumental

i wrote this one as a country song, oddly...but it seems i resorted to grunge when push came to record ; )

what she reads

3 Miles.

The vibe and lyrics of the song circle themes of time, destruction and transformation. Song development was influenced by a plug-in instrument I acquired that enables me to create rhythms and textures using both tabla drums and the sitar. This is not my typical music genre but I was very happy with the outcome. 

Thank You

Dave

~Mark F-- @mark_fosella -- bass guitar, composition

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – first screaming electric guitar

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– second psychedelic electric guitar, production, and mix

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –electric piano

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-organ



This song is the first The Eclectic Collective has done with Mark, and we all had a great time making it with him. This song started with Mark, who is a bass player's bass player, giving his raw bass track to Ken, who brought it to the group. Ken laid down his exciting drums to match Mark's bass line before anything else happened, though. Once we had a rhythm section, JJ laid down his dancing electric piano. Once that was in place, Josh laid down the organ. Then it was time for the guitars, played electrifyingly by both Tez and Stephen. Tez plays throughout most of the song, and Stephen added his part towards the end. Stephen also mixed this for us expertly, as always. If you have a beverage in your hands, you might want to set it down. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Reflections on this Mov. No. IV - "Felicidad"

In my opinion, while complex and wonderful, life is an extraordinarily rare gift that has been granted to us. Perhaps we do not pay enough attention to it, but among the infinite number of possibilities we had of never having existed, all living beings have had the incredible luck of being blessed with life. It is a lottery in which we had a single number among the immensity of infinity and we won!!

Some argue that nature is cruel and they may be right, but we have been given the gift of intelligence and although nature has its rules, intelligent beings have the power to change that and let other forms of life take control of them. continue without interfering with it. Thus, respect for the lives of all the beings who accompany us on this journey must be inviolable.

All of the above is a prelude to my objective about this movement entitled “Felicidad" (Happiness), which can also be extrapolated to other musical aspects and also to other situations in many other areas.

Everything in life is perfectly structured and everything makes sense in a universe that is governed by physical laws that are inviolable. Therefore, I believe that beauty would not be so exquisite if ugliness did not also exist; The same thing happens with painting, where in a palette of cold colors, a brushstroke of a highly warm and striking color is appreciated; Therefore, I think that good taste must always remain above and in balance against the vulgar, but the latter must never disappear if we want to appreciate the former.

According to the above, as far as this work is concerned, I have tried to apply the same philosophy in that in my opinion beauty is enhanced if the positive is combined to a fair degree with the negative, that is, the consonance with the dissonance, although in music both things are very subjective, since dissonance is also beautiful if it is well crafted.

Finally, I must say that I am satisfied with the result of this Symphony No. 4, since it responds to my initial approach of combining melodic parts with simple chords with other more complex harmonies that are not always well understood by non-specialized listeners, but that in Its whole responds perfectly to the consonance-dissonance binomial.

"Until The End Of Time"

Original Song and lyrics by Linda Straub

I want to sing you a love song,
but your face is masked  in pain,
so I'll just sit here by your side,
and let you sleep and rest again. 

I look at you and watch you breathing,
then reach out and hold your hand.
I picture you as you used to be,
strong, full of life, my loving man. 

It's hard to feel this helpless,
when I want to sweep your pain away.
All I can do is be by your side
as you slip further away each day.

All the wonderful times we've shared
are memories flooding my mind,
each one fills my soul with gladness,
for the joy we've had throughout our lives.


Sleep my darling, for when you wake,
I'll be here, steadfast by your side,
for I am your woman,
until the end of time,

for I am your woman,
until the end of time.





Until The End Of Time (Original)-

Here's the first single from the Penelope's Thrill second album, "Message on the Moon," which will be released on April 11. 
"Things Are Falling Down" is an upbeat song paradoxically about global warming and climate change. The infectious reggae-infused bass line and scratchy guitars make the listener perk up and listen...and eventually realize what the song is about. So it's a bit of sugar to get people to come to the table and think about the mounting crisis we're all facing...and maybe dance off some of their stress too. 
Cover painting is "Amor Fati" by Kelli Hoppmann, my favorite artist who also happens to be from Madison. Big thanks to Kelli for permission to use her paintings on the singles and the album. 
In fact, Kelli's paintings played a big role in the gestation of the new album. A few years ago, my wife and I bought one of Kelli's paintings that featured a moonlit woodland scene with phantasmagoric characters (like the "Amor Fati" painting above). That painting, which is titled "August Night," greets me each morning as I come downstairs. Eventually, it served as the inspiration for several songs on the album, including the title track, "Message on the Moon," and “August Night,” which is a song about the painting. A main theme of Kelli’s paintings is metamorphosis, which is also the main theme that runs through the songs on Message on the Moon. All six of the singles from the album also feature cover paintings by Hoppmann. (All those singles are now up on Bandcamp, Spotify, etc, and will be uploaded here as well.)
On this track, I play a vintage modified Stratocaster, a classic 60s Telecaster, and a Gretsch hollowbody--a combination I particularly like.

LYRICS:
“Things Are Falling Down"
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh	
			
Half a minute and you won’t be here.
Half a minute and you’ll be gone.
Make your fictions so you don’t have to know our days are numbered.

Take your pictures and post them online.
Make your mixtures of rum and coke.
Maybe you just think it’s all a joke, but the seas are rising.

Make a million so you won’t know.
Play some music on your stereo.
Shop online to preserve your status quo while the world is crumbling.

CHORUS:
I don’t say the things I know.
I don’t say I won’t go—looks like things are falling down.
When I would take you down,
when I would bring you round—seems like things are falling down.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
Now we’re fragile as eggs if you recall the way that story ends.

Jake was nimble, Jake was quick
when he jumped that candlestick,
but Jack and Jill are feeling sick about the way we’re going.

Cinderella had it right, but Rapunzel gave delight
when she lowered her hair from the tower top (where is our ladder?)

CHORUS

I remember going to the islands, lounging there on the sandy bay,
but now those islands have washed away beneath the waves and…

Now we scuttle our dreams and future.
Now we huddle on the rec room couch
while our conscience says, “you’re such a slouch,”
and the trees are whispering.

PRECHORUS and CHORUS

Things Are Falling Down

Download

It would be like a dance 
Maintain this distance 
Where everything is created 
In cryptic 
In spells 
Weaving translucent mesh 
Soft to the ligaments 
So resist 
Praying for the Resilience of Refusal 
And so Certify the shelter 
Certify the cloud

Certify The Cloud
