### **Poncho & Lefty** - The Existential Outlaw Tango

Dive into the $eattle underworld with "Poncho & Lefty," a sidewalk busker’s narrative dripping with raw, unfiltered Americana. JTSunrise channels the spectral essence of Townes Van Zandt, a man ensnared in the mortality of his own existence. This track is a descent into the realm of psychic novelty where destiny and despair coalesce.

### Townes Van Zandt: The Shadow Poet

In the fragmented dreamscape of America, Townes Van Zandt emerges as a spectral figure, a troubadour wandering the wastelands of his own mind. Born into privilege, but shackled by the spectral weight of his demons, Van Zandt’s life is a mosaic of brilliance and catastrophe. His music, a cathartic exorcism of his soul, is a testament to the eternal struggle between light and shadow.

"Poncho & Lefty" is the epitome of this dichotomy. First recorded in 1972, the song weaves a tale of two outlaws, bound by fate and shattered by betrayal. The narrative, steeped in myth and reality, is a melancholic reflection of Van Zandt’s own journey through the desolate corridors of existence. Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard later immortalized the track, but its dark heart remains rooted in Van Zandt’s tortured genius.

### The Subterranean Odyssey

With JTSunrise at the helm, "Poncho & Lefty" becomes an auditory hallucination, a journey through the liminal spaces where morality dissolves into the guitar ether. Picture Poncho, the charismatic ghost, and Lefty, the betrayer, navigating a labyrinth of dust and shadows. Their story, a kaleidoscope of existential angst, mirrors the fractured reality of our own lives.

Let the spectral echoes of "Poncho & Lefty" transport you to a dimension where the lines between hero and villain blur into oblivion. 🌅🎸

[Verse 1]

C
Living on the road my friend
G
Was gonna keep you free and clean
F
Now you wear your skin like iron
     C                   G
Your breath's as hard as kerosene
F
You weren't your mama's only boy
        C               F
But her favorite one it seems
Am                        F        G
She began to cry when you said goodbye
    F              Am
And sank into your dreams


[Verse 2]
C
Pancho was a bandit boys
G
His horse was fast as polished steel
F
Wore his gun outside his pants
   C                      G
For all the honest world to feel
F
Pancho met his match you know
       C               F
On the deserts down in Mexico
Am                        F        G
Nobody heard his dying words
    F              Am
That's the way it goes


[Chorus]

F
All the federales say
C                       F
They could have had him any day
Am                F     G
They only let him hang around
       F             Am
Out of kindness I suppose


[Verse 3]
C
Lefty he can't sing the blues
G
All night long like he used to
F
The dust that Pancho bit down south
 C            G
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
F
The day they laid poor Pancho low
C                F
Lefty split for Ohio
Am                F        G
Where he got the bread to go
      F               Am
There ain't nobody knows


[Chorus]

F
All the federales say
C                       F
They could have had him any day
Am                F     G
They only let him slip away
       F             Am
Out of kindness I suppose


[Verse 4]
C
The poets tell how Pancho fell
G
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
  F
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
   C           G
So the story ends we're told
F
Pancho needs your prayers it's true,
        C                F
But save a few for Lefty too
Am                   F      G
He just did what he had to do
   F              Am
Now he's growing old


[Chorus]

F
A few old gray federales say
C                       F
They could have had him any day
Am                F     G
They only let him go so long
       F             Am
Out of kindness I suppose

🎶 **Introducing an Unforgettable Musical Experience!** 🎶

Are you ready to embark on a journey through time, space, and beyond? Do you crave the thrill of discovering the hidden patterns of history and the fabric of the universe? Brace yourself, because we've got something mind-blowing for you!

**Presenting: Timewave Zero!** 🌟✨

From the visionary mind of Terence McKenna, Timewave Zero is not just a theory—it's a revolutionary concept that reveals the cyclical nature of time and the ebb and flow of novelty throughout history. But that's not all! We've got a treat for your ears as well as your mind.

**Featuring: JTSunrise's Rendition of "The Highwayman"** 🎸🌅

**Step into the world of "The Highwayman,"** a classic ballad originally penned by Jimmy Webb and immortalized by The Highwaymen—Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. Now, experience it like never before with JTSunrise's soulful interpretation!

🌍 **Travel through Centuries** with the timeless tales of a highwayman, a sailor, a dam builder, and a starship pilot, all connected by the unbreakable thread of existence.

🎵 **Immerse Yourself in the Melodies** of JTSunrise's acoustic guitar and powerful vocals, bringing a fresh, contemporary touch to this legendary song.

**Why Timewave Zero?**
- **Understand Historical Patterns**: Discover how events resonate across time, revealing the hidden symmetries of history.
- **Embrace Novelty**: Learn how the peaks and troughs of the timewave can guide you to moments of profound change and innovation.
- **Enrich Your Mind and Spirit**: Dive deep into the philosophy of cyclical time and unlock the mysteries of the universe.

But wait, there's more! With JTSunrise's rendition of "The Highwayman," you're not just listening to music—you're experiencing a story that transcends time and space.

📜 **The Story Behind the Song**
- **Jimmy Webb's Vision**: Crafted in 1977, this ballad tells the intertwined stories of four lives across different eras.
- **The Highwaymen's Legacy**: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson brought these tales to life, creating a musical masterpiece that stands the test of time.
- **JTSunrise's Interpretation**: A modern twist on a classic, JTSunrise's version captures the essence of the original while adding his unique style.

But hold on, there's even more! Imagine the rich tapestry of "The Highwayman" through the lens of **String Theory** and its ten dimensions:

### The Ten Dimensions of String Theory in "The Highwayman"

1. **First Dimension (Length)**: The journey of the highwayman along the coach roads.
2. **Second Dimension (Height)**: The towering waves faced by the sailor.
3. **Third Dimension (Depth)**: The construction and eventual collapse of the dam by the builder.
4. **Fourth Dimension (Time)**: The continuity and reincarnation of the souls across eras.
5. **Fifth Dimension (Possible Worlds)**: Different historical paths where these lives might have taken different turns.
6. **Sixth Dimension (Folding of Possible Worlds)**: The intersection of their lives in an alternate reality where they coexist.
7. **Seventh Dimension (Infinite Possibilities)**: The myriad ways their stories could unfold across infinite timelines.
8. **Eighth Dimension (Alternate Laws of Physics)**: The starship pilot navigating through the vast cosmos, transcending the known laws of physics.
9. **Ninth Dimension (All Possible Universes)**: The countless universes where these characters live different lives, connected by the same essence.
10. **Tenth Dimension (Ultimate Universe)**: The final dimension where all possible universes and histories converge, the ultimate realization of Timewave Zero.

in recognition of mental health awareness week..............the blues parade has often passed my way.........peace & cheers for having a listen........



hear that rumble over the hill
shaking the glass from the window sills 
hide the money and lock the tills
here comes the blue parade

in the distance hear that noise
no need to be alarmed there boys
just keep it straight and hold your course
it's just the blue parade

it'll start real early, break of dawn
won't get much sleep from the night before
better nail down the shutters and deck the halls
here comes the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to the pipers song
hands get sweaty yea it won't take long
here comes the blue parade

you might meet someone, head hung low
not much to say nowhere to go
together you can try and mend your souls
among the blue parade

you might be strangers when you start 
when the dust settles you'll never part
cos you made a pact with the bleeding hearts
now you're part of the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to the pipers song
heart starts thumping yea it won't take long
here comes the blue parade

step in time march 4 to the floor
people be staring, don't matter no more
cos you sold the sink and the kitchen door
to join the blue parade

hear them blow their whistles. colors bright
seems to me to be a hell of a night
but if you look inside you'll get a fright
yea that's the blue parade

aint the time to think if what you're doing's right
just stay in line and keep your mouth shut tight
you're about to take the ride of your life
here comes the blue parade

well my mind mightn't know what's goin on
but my ears are tuned to that pipers song
god help me where did i go wrong
to end up in the blue parade
here comes the blue parade

The Blue Parade

Having grown up with the songs of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and other soul greats, and more recently been impressed by the songwriting of artists like Tom Misch and Mac Ayers, I’ve wanted for a while to add an R&B feel to a some of my tracks. 
I’ve tried a few times over the years, and found that blending a strong groove with my usual acoustic, singer-songwriter type stuff didn’t really work. 
I still wanted the songs to sound like my songs :)
This is the first time I’ve finished a track, in that style, that I’m confident enough to put out there. 
Hope you like it :)
Richard

Lyrics:
Needed time to think it over
Get my head straight
Diving overboard           
Maybe Its too late                                                
Make same mistakes 
Its time to move on
But something else is pulling me 
To this old town
 
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two

Someone told me once
To love is to feel free 
Coming home is back to reality
You said it all
The first time
Catching up on feelings 
Harder to define

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this underworld 
of two
  
So many years
I tried for it to make sense
Saw our love 
But only in the past tense
Years are slipping
Losing all our nine lives 
Only one thing to decide
  
Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the journey found us
Somewhere out there
In this old underworld 
of two

Its You
I’ve got a feeling that’s its 
You
You’ve got me, I’ve got you 
Its True
End of the story found us
Right here, right now
In this underworld 
of two

voici une ancienne musique sur laquelle j'ai aujourd'hui ajouté un chant,
Un immense merci à Piotr pour ces interventions au violon, très bonne écoute et merci .

Paradis

Pour tous les amis du monde § For all friends in the world.
  English translation after the French text
-------------------------------------------
L’amitié c’est nous,  autour d’un feu d’camp,  
Beuglant des chansons, on s’marait tout l’temps. 
Les guitares jouaient et nos voix s'envolaient
Souvenirs gravés de ces temps enchantés

 L'amitié, c'est nous, le monde à   refaire
Des blagues, des disputes, des rêves à l’envers
Au petit matin, les bouteilles vidées
Gueules enfarinées , les rêves sont envolés 

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
 nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
illumine le monde

L’amitié c’est nous avec ou sans enfants
Le boulot, la famille on s’voit moins souvent 
Dans  nos cœurs aimant, sont toujours vivant 
Nos  rires d’antan,  et nos vingt printemps 

L'amitié  c’est nous, avec des cheveux blancs
Une  histoire qui dure, à faire mentir le temps
Nos belles aventures , ont fait     nos destins,
Rires aux coins des yeux, témoins de nos chemins.                         

Tant q’on sera là, et quoi qu’il arrive         
Continuons not’route, libre  à la dérive.
Nos cœurs de gamins, nos âmes vagabondes, 
Illumine le monde

----------------- AUTO TRANSLATE 
Friendship is us, around a campfire,
Bellowing songs, we were always laughing.
The guitars were playing and our voices were soaring
Engraved memories of these enchanted times

Friendship is us, the world to be remade
Jokes, arguments, upside down dreams
In the early morning, the emptied bottles
Floury faces, dreams are gone

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
light up the world

Friendship is us with or without children
Work, family we see each other less often
In our loving hearts, are still alive
Our laughter of yesteryear, and our twenty springs

Friendship is us, with white hair
A story that lasts, to make time lie
Our beautiful adventures have made our destinies,
Laughter in the corners of our eyes, witnesses of our paths.

As long as we're here, and whatever happens
Let's continue our journey, free to drift.
Our childish hearts, our wandering souls,
Light up the world

Go find
Be kind
Don’t mind
So like

Out of sight
Pay no mind
She’s pretty where she is
She talks and laughs

And I wondered
And I wondered

Like me she is done
Like me she is gone
Programmed to survive
And hanging on to dear life

Hanging on to dear life
Hanging on to dear life

Go find
Be kind
Don’t mind
So like

Out of sight
Pay no mind
She’s pretty where she is
She talks and laughs

And I wondered
And I wondered

Like me she is done
Like me she is gone
Programmed to survive
And hanging on to dear life

Like me she is done
Like me she is gone
Programmed to survive
And hanging on to dear life

Hanging, hanging on to dear life
Hanging, hanging on to 
Dear life

Lyrics:

Sometimes I ask to much of myself
It's like I'm not doing enough
Are those around me satisfied?
Maybe I'm to black in my mind..

Chorus:

If I do the best I can
What more can I do?
And if that's not good enough
I have nothing more to offer you..

Want to please those I love
They all need something from me
Not sure if I'm doing enough
But I don't want them to see

Chorus

I get a little tired sometimes
Need to hide and catch my breath
But I'm not hiding for a long time
My loved ones are on my mind..

Chorus

I can always try to improve
I still have so much to learn
But if I ask too much of myself
I go to black, brigdes will burn

Oh, If I do the best I can
What more can I do?
And if that's not good enough
I have nothing more to offer you..

The Best I Can

Voici Une chanson composé par Steve Zeitoun, 
Paroles : Steph Ouna

Afin d'égayer un peu notre vie et d'y croire car tout est possible quand on y croit vraiment, très bonne écoute et merci !

Paroles :

A l’intérieur de mes rêves
Se dessinait un jardin
J’attends que le jour se lève
Pour commencer dès maintenant ce chemin

J’ai laissé, mis de côté
Ces pensées qui appartiennent au passé
Dès aujourd’hui un nouveau départ
Il n’est jamais trop tôt ou ni trop tard

Chevauchant sur le dos d’un dauphin
Me disait allez viens / c’est une histoire sans fin
Découvrir de nouveaux paysages
Alors suis-moi, / viens ! je t’emmène en voyage

J’ai des frissons et la passion
C’est si fort dans mon ventre alors j’invente
Je n’en peux plus de faire abstraction
Une pulsion urgente, puissante, et dévorante

J’ai laissé mes valises à la gare
Désormais je n’ai plus besoin d’elle
Si j’attends demain, il sera trop tard
Alors j’ouvre tout grand mes ailes


Refrain : S’ouvrir au monde, découvrir ce qui n’a pas de prix
Là où la joie inonde, ceux qui ont la paix dans l’âme
Sourire au monde, découvrir ce qui n’a pas de prix
Là où la joie inonde, ceux qui ont la paix dans l’âme

Oui les dés sont jetés
Un désir si fort et qui vient de l’intérieur
Sans trop penser à demain
Libéré, j’écouterai mon cœur

J’ai soif d’aventure, j’ai gardé l’espoir
Au fond de moi comme un murmure, me pousse à croire
Chaque battement de mesure, inspire, incite à s’émouvoir

Se laisser guider par la musique, instant précieux, éternel
Un mouvement doux et magique, un cadeau du ciel

A la rencontre de terres rouges et sauvages
Là où l’on chante le bonheur
Vivre libre vers de nouveaux visages
L’amour et l’espoir dans le cœur 

Allez viens ! donne-moi la main ! 
Ecoutez ce qu’ils ont dans le cœur, ce qu’ils ont à dire dirent, leurs histoires

Sourire au Monde

Passing By

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

Catching up with time and space
You don’t know what you’ll get
But i know whats not going on
Cos nothing’s happened yet

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

I could’ve turned the other way
The feeling came so fast
Quickly went away again
Just wasn’t meant to last

It stopped me in my tracks
I didn’t know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

The days came by then went away, 
The timing never right
I looked around and then it passed
The day turned into night

It stopped me in my tracks
I didnt know where to turn
Making the same mistake again 
When will i ever learn

Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
…
Reaching out to grasp the day 
Then suddenly it’s night
Blink and you could miss it
As life just walks on by

Passing By

Link to  video:  https://youtu.be/ej-kUFEdbzk
that I submitted to the 2025 NPR Tiny Desk Contest.
This was a bit of an experiment. The audio was recorded using an iPhone 16 and then I used the Logic Pro stem spitter to separate the vocals and guitar so I could mix each track separately.
I still intend to have one more go at recording this using a better mic set up.

Bounce Back Up Acoustic Version)

Sometimes things get a little hectic and i have to get away so i grab a quiet corner and my guitar and sit there and slip away from Time into my own Space. I suppose you could say, " When i need to find myself, I loose myself.

Time & Space

Voici un nouveau Titre "Mystique"
Une analyse qui se fait quelques fois sur le chemin ou parfois reviennent ces questions que l'on se posent, j'ai imaginé un père qui parlerait à son enfant, un peu comme si le divin nous parlait pour nous guider sur une route dont nous avons nous-mêmes nos propres clés pour y accéder. je vous souhaite une très bonne écoute.

voici 2 Livres qui m'ont touchés que je veux vous transmettre :

Les enfants du verseau de Marilyn Ferguson
Evolution consciente de Barbara Marx Hubbard 

Paroles :

Là-haut sur mon étoile
J’ai traversé la voie lactée
Je t’envoie des pétales
Afin qu’ils viennent te caresser


N’ais pas peur que s’achève
Ton intuition parfois si chétive
C’est au fond de tes rêves
Que les pensées sont positives


Prépare bien ta route
Pour trouver ce jardin magique
Libre, sans le moindre doute
Une potion féérique et mystique


Ne regarde plus en arrière
Oublie les troubles du passé
Cette route est éphémère
Demain tu sais, tout peut changer 





Je sais très bien qu’au fond de toi
Subsiste un bonheur caché
Tu dois retrouver la joie
Afin de nouveau t’exprimer


Assumer tes idées
Même quand les autres n’y crois pas
Lâcher prise, te libérer
De ce qui ne fait plus le poids


Tu es plus forte que ce que tu crois
Après le désert, une oasis
Te ressourcera, te rafraichira
En refermant les cicatrices


Il y aura des épreuves
De toutes tu vas te relever
Je ressens très bien ta peine
Alors n’oublie jamais que je t’aime

little bird asks his brother the golden eagle
to show him the path of light to escape the violence of the tear’s valleys
because he wants to become a medicine man
to heal the world

Sors un peu de ta bulle
Tu peux maintenant ouvrir tes ailes
Ne sois plus incrédule
Donne-moi juste un peu de tes nouvelles


De loin, tu sais que je t’observe
Sache que tu as le libre arbitre
Appelle-moi si tu veux que je te serve
Je t’attendrai derrière la vitre


Je te souhaite tellement de bonheur
De découverte de toute sorte
Ouvre la porte petite fleur
Sors de ta zone de confort


Tu dois te rappeler
En suivant toujours tout tes délires
Car il ne faut rien regretter
Il est maintenant temps de partir

Mystique

Emisarios   

La noche me encima queriendo desanimar.
la lluvia decide trayendo un tesoro
Es agua del cielo, me dijo prestá atención.
Sos hijo del suelo, sos savia, sos bendición.
hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos.
y a su corazon recibo igual.


El tiempo me envuelve, sumando me arrastra,
Mi alma y el cielo, son fuego que basta.
Son flama que grita, son guerra sin rendición,
son  furia del trueno, caida y resurrección.
Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos solos
y a su corazon recibo igual.

Hablan sin hablar, cuando estamos locos
y a su corazon recibo igual.

I thought it would be nice to do a new recording of My Favorite Female that I did with the band Tibet in reverse in 2011. That version is a little further down if you scroll.
Here and now I have uploaded the new version. Instead of calling it a different version than the original, it has been given the British English spelling: My Favourite Female.

On the single, distributed to Apple Music, I also have an instrumental version of My Favourite Female. 

https://music.apple.com/se/album/my-favourite-female-single/1783534141


My Favourite Female

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will perform with my girl for a viewer beyond worlds

Have you seen her favourite brain
It´s organic with an image of a world
being drawn in every single moment
Hello world, she is thinking of you

She really doesn´t have to work on Monday
but she´s working in a digital network
She´s a real nowhere girl living in a nowhere world
making nowhere plans for nobody

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will face reality with my favourite girl

Have you seen my favourite waste of time
Let her go, let her go
I took a trip to the edge of this world
and I was thinking of you

Honey, would I lie to you, this is not a place
for a nowhere girl to be
The good guys are hiding in the shadows
Oh baby, it´s a wild, wild, wild, wild world

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will face reality with my favourite girl

My favourite female makes me feel like I´m a king
When I´m with her I can almost play guitar and sing
No need for computers, just put me in a world
I will perform with my girl for a viewer beyond worlds
