Shock the Algorithm

Got away to the railroad tracks
By the river, on our backs
Look at the sky, it’s been so long
We are older but we’re acting young

Beautiful day to get away
Forget the job and the bills to pay
Laying under the sycamores
You are mine and I am yours
So let’s talk about... 
Where do we go from here?
Should we plan it out
Where do we go from here?

Stayin’ in and layin’ low
Try to do what’s apropo
Worry about the things I see
Just a plague of idiocy

A bunch of clowns took over the place
Need a plan B just in case
Gonna have to check my gut 
Brace myself for who knows what
Got me wondering 
Where do we go from here?
Doesn’t look too good
Where do we go from here?

Fell in love with someone who
Sees the world just like I do
Talked about some deeper shit
Really got down into it
We hit a groove and kept it going 
Giving space and getting along
Fast forward it up to today
We’re still together and turning gray
No need to ask, baby
Where do we go, where do we go from here?
I think we know, honey
Where do we go from here

Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

It Won't Take Forever

I was fortunate to attend the International Health Institute conference in London last month and there were sessions run by a woman so passionate and committed to change to improve the delivery of healthcare to the masses and I thought her partner would be so proud . . .

Eccentricity so Beautiful

While life and limb can shatter          
It’s only hearts that matter - In our world - Darlin’ girl
You’re out there proselytizing.
And it’s so mesmerising - that’s your way – an ordinary day   

Something about you rising up      
Is cutting through my filling heart - it’s only love
On your soap box agent change
With so much to de-arrange - with a blast
            
Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Those rank iconoclasts
Bathe in their master class - impervious - in Ivory towers
Talk as if they’ve got the plan
Line up and shake their hands - feel the grip - the hand of power

You’re raisin’ it from ground up
Changing at the speed of trust – with such feel 
Building leaders everywhere
Co-produce no limit skies – that’s our dream

Eccentricity so Beautiful (that’s you girl -it’s your world)

Exhausted but so energized - Trying to catch you in the eye - Need you close. 
I call you aphrodisiac - Hotel room take care of that – 
On that note

ECCENTRICITY SO BEAUTIFUL

Cast of Characters:
John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin
The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony on the end vocals
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– banjo, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass, melody and harmony on the end vocals
This song began with John, who is a verifiable expert in all things Jimmy Page, asking Josh and the Eclectic Collective if they'd like to cover another Led Zeppelin song to follow Hey Hey What Can I Do? Of course, the Eclectic collective is always down to sink their teeth into some of the best rock and roll ever made. John found us recordings of the original Zep version that were separated into their individual tracks, so as we were adding, we could hear what our part would've sounded like playing with the original band. What a thrill!
  Ken was first to complete his part, and did a great job of capturing the frenetic energy of Bonzo. John was up soon after, amazing us with a note for note interpretation of Page on both the guitar and mandolin. Josh came next, after nearly deciding that JPS's part was too difficult. It wasn't. Then, when the bulk of the music was recorded, MD came through and stunned us with a brilliant interpretation of Plant's vocals. To bring it to a boil, Stephen then laid down his magical banjo in there, too. Lasty, Ken and Josh polished it off with some background vocals at the end. 
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, who in this case was Stephen. He managed to even it out and get it to sound not only like the album, but very dynamic, as well. 
  This is the EC's second collaboration with John, and we're all stricken by how proficient he is at playing Page's material. If you dig what we did here, you can check out the video, too, right here, of us playing. It's on John's YouTube page, which also contains scores of other favorites from Zep, Floyd, and others. If you are interested in seeing how your favorite Zep tunes were played, it's definitely worth a stroll through and watch.  Here's the link to his page. Also, you can find us doing Hey Hey What Can I Say? on there, too.  https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=7YqvUXLKkuXT4qjy
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.

Break The Chains

Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
It doesn’t matter
If you’re weak or strong
It doesn’t matter
If it’s right or wrong
It doesn’t matter
If you bang a gong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Hey!
It doesn’t matter
If they string you along
It doesn’t matter
If you’re too headstrong
It doesn’t matter
Is you sing this song
It doesn’t matter
If she says so long
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong
No one gets through life without any regrets
You have to take the leap without any nets
No one gets through life without any regrets
You have to take the leap without a net
Wherever you are 
That’s where you belong

Wherever You Are, That's Where You Belong

Lyrics
You said you'd cut me 
after I cried I was drowning
just so you could pull you out 
of your misery
then you save me 
when I said was failing
so you could hail me nothing but 
an in-between
you then stood down 
your empty heart echoes
while holding back all 
your best dogs of war
you whispered three words
I love you
then shouted I never really 
said them before

Said them before 
but never felt them before
heard them before 
but never felt them before
she said 
I’ve felt before
but never felt this before
yeah I’ve said those three words 
but never felt love before

Well I can fall in love with you
if you
if you want me to
I’ll fall in love with you
but you 
you gotta love me too
you’ve gotta love me too
you’ve gotta love me true
Fall in
I’m falling
you look at me and you know 
I’m gonna fall in
I’m falling
I’ve fallen
you looked at me 
and you know I’ve already fallen
Cos I’m falling in muse 
with you
hope I
hope I amuse you too
hope I amuse you too
do I amuse you too?

and then you swore that I'd pay 
all the full price
to not just hang around 
and get the dream one free
so am I ready now 
for your fiction addiction
from déjà vu real you know 
you’ll never get clean
to lost memories 
we know we won’t remember
for all the words we’ll try say 
when we get old
why click forget 
on the things we once loved
when all our scars receipts are truly 
earned and sold
we're earned and sold 
bought the lies we were told
now just like you 
doing nothing but get old
Now I’ve fallen in love 
with you 
and I
I knew you wanted me to
show me you love me too
hope we can see this love through
Fall in
I’ve fallen
you looked at me and you know 
I've already fallen
Cos I’m falling in muse with you
hope I
hope I amuse you too
I’m falling in muse with you
hope I
hope I amuse you too
hope I amuse you too
hope I amuse you too
Cos I’m falling in muse with you
I’ll stop believing
That you’re deceiving
Now I’ve fallen in muse with you
I’ll shred our past
To make us last
now I’ve fallen in muse with you
I’ll never leave you
Always believe you
believe you
believe you
cos I’m falling in love
fallen in love
fallen in love

Musing over you (monkey mix)

Wrote the title phrase on a birthday card and immediately thought  that's a 'song title'.  The first take of the vocal was a loose ramble but I just left it in - it seemed to fit.

Love Our Together Life

That cliché thick and thin about loving all the time
We’re not vascillating over always gotta rhyme
Doubling up in laughter keeps an even keel
And getting to a sweet spot finally it’s real

We drove out to the cliff and back
Now it’s all about giving back

It’s life upon a road with little jobs to do
And a race across the sand to share the view
It’s pouring out the drinks as the sun dips down 
And talking ‘bout the people who we see around 
Love our together life
Love our together life

Back in days of war it was tight in the lip
And the putting up of walls with a face half lit
Cause expectations could never be met
And it takes a lot of years to wind it back to less 

Yeah giving up on hurt and feeling how it was
In the years embryonic burning hot
And the psyche bathed in the songs of the time
But transplanting now to a wiser kind of rhyme

Love Our Together Life

“This Road”

Dirt, gravel and bricks
Soft shoulders, speed bumps 
and try to avoid the ditch

I head out with arms wide open
I don’t know what could happen next
Born to fly 
I keep learning to try expanding 
Out from the inside

I look up
I check both ways
A little fear but not enough to stop me 
From this trip I am destined 
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way but not yet succeeding
Don’t know the way This road is leading me
But today’s the today 
I start breathing

Shady pathways and tricks
Cold shoulders, getting dumped 
and always in a tight pinch

I head out a little bit broken
I don’t know what could happen next
Lovers lie
I keep learning to try expanding 
out from the inside

Don’t give up
Look to new day
Have no fear
It’s not enough to stop me 
On this trip I am destined
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way but not yet succeeding

Don’t know the way this road is leading
Today’s the day I start breathing

SOLO

I’m still standing arms wide open
I don’t know still what can happen next
Born to fly 
I keep learning to try expanding 
Out from the inside

Still looking up 
Things going my way
Have no fear
There is nothing to stop me 
In this trip I am destined
To find out the meaning in all of this

Day after day I keep on dreaming
I’m on my way almost succeeding
Don’t know the way this road is leading me 
Today is the today 
I start breathing

Lyrics
People say that your dreams are crazy
but mine are just like every day of my life
I find myself not running away from
those kind of problems that you know that I can’t fight
cos you know that I don’t fight
yeah you know that I won’t
More people shouting that I’m losing the plot now
how can you shed what you never really owned
fair trial myself for selfless treason
the only evidence against me is all I’ve been told
it’s all I’ve ever known
but is it all I’ll ever be
So don’t care what they all say
because tomorrow’s another
go free yourself from your pent up jail
because tomorrow’s another
try see in yourself for achieve and not fail
and know tomorrow’s another
then forget today and just walk away
cos tomorrow’s another day
tomorrow’s another day
yeah tomorrow’s another day
our tomorrow is another day
Same different people scream that I’m out of control
when I’ve never been more tied up in my life
I Caught myself in a mirror laughing
those lines remind me that I’ll make the perfect wife
so just go Live their perfect life
cos I’ve heard imperfect is worth less

So don’t care what they all say
because tomorrow’s another
go free yourself from your pent up jail
because tomorrow’s another
try see in yourself for achieve and not fail
and know tomorrow’s another
then forget today and just walk away
cos tomorrow’s another day
tomorrow’s another day
yeah tomorrow’s another day
our tomorrow is another day
Now I’m telling you that I’m all better inside
telling you I got no reason left to hide
I’m telling you I’m the one in charge of my fate
I’m telling you I’m so much more than love and hate
more than love and hate
cos it’s better to be than wait
we’re so much more than love and hate
much more than love and hate

We don’t care what they all say
because tomorrow’s another
we freed ourselves from our pent up jails
because tomorrow’s another
we saw our self for achieve and not fail
and know tomorrow’s another
we forget today and just walked away
cos tomorrow’s another day
tomorrow’s another day
yeah tomorrow’s another day
our tomorrow is another day

Tomorrow is another day

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Prodigal Son (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

La mer y était belle chancelante et cruelle
Les bleus gris s’allongent pour des reflets

Evidence, c’est la danse du bord de mer
Enivrante comme le sel au goût amer
Captivante dans les reflux solitaires
La vague est là, comme des bras en l’air

Nous aspire dans les regrets les souvenirs reviennent
Et non plus de   vents mauvais des poussières de haine
Les flots lumineux ne font pas nos peines
Ni nos espoirs déçus ils nous enchainent.

Chorus

Eternelles, sont les vagues dans les veines
Superficielles, libèrent les corps

Toujours le fil de l’eau éclaire
Même les vagues ordinaires
Dans les flots bleus où l’on se perd
Il y a … la mer

La Mer

Written 11 years ago: recalls the days when music was vinyl only and a magical retreat from disabling matters of the heart


33 RPM NIRVANA

Flattened faces pressed up against the glass
It’s well known no-one needs to ask
People talking ‘bout how I’m feeling
If they were me yes they’d be reeling
They’d need time and recuperation
But at night I take up station
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away to 33 RPM Nirvana 

She’s a stranger that’s her right to choose
Who can blame her she don’t like old news
You might say she’s one go getter
And why did she not treat me better
I admit I loved her deeply
But right now I’m kind of sleepy
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana 

I’m pulling the curtains and switching it on
Watching the tone arm lower onto my black vinyl

Drifting away now the music is my river
Not analyzing I’m seeking separation
Through the mists of time I wander
What is life I’m bound to ponder
Gonna get to shrug my shoulders
Moving on and getting bolder
Hanging around in 33 RPM Nirvana
Getting away in 33 RPM Nirvana

33 RPM Nirvana

Lyrics (by Stonerjazz):

We all chose it, we arrived here at this self-same place
he liked to think that he had earned it
but that simply not the case.
He just dreamed it up one sunday afternoon
while drowsing and lounging in the Ether
where the US resides
while living on a Proton Banished
to the outskirts of a single Atom
In a single Universe-
It was a wicked Curse, specifically designed for him
A scorcerer, Albert Rufus Smith
Stole a Rocket ship and he took it to Uriah
He was a rascal and scoundrel and a liar and a thief
But he had a magic knife that he had won in a game of dice
on a stormy night in a corner of some ruins
in the desert in december by the fire light with some other witches from Oaxaca
where he'd Spied Roberta picking magic mushrooms naked in the moonlight
with her brothers and her sisters and some others from the Bus-
It seems that Albert Rufus Smith Was Smitten

The eternal now is Wow
When we wonder why we wander
where we will
while walking walking walking to fulfill
the contemplated vacancy
Beyond the vast Horizen

Alberts knife was sliver with a handle made of Amber
when he held it high above his head
it gave off a blinding light
and on that night on the planet of Uriah
when Gus and all his jolly happy hopeful holograms arrived
on that Beat-up Bus
That formulated plan in Alberts wicked head
appeared to be on Track
had he not been messmerized by Roberta's perfect presence and physic
he might have pulled it off, that dirty rotten little sneak--

Sid and Larry caught him and his Cronies
trying to steal the bus and Abduct
Sally and Roberta too, Who
were sleeping on the bus in the back together as they always do,
And Gus was not Amused-
Albert seemed to be confused until he held his Magic knife up high
and blinded ever bodies eye
and in a frantic flight he escaped into the distant night--
