spiky dream

A new song........

Lyrics:

Turn down the noise, put your mind on mute
Listen to nature singing softly in the distance
Look out the window where the light hits the truth
And a pocket of hush where your wild thoughts go

Be still — just for a moment
Be still — just be present
Be still — just for a minute
Be still, be still, be still

 The clock keeps stealing time
 Slow the seconds minute by minute 
Listen as you breathe slowly in and out
Let the world spin its stories as you vacation in your mind

The earth keeps spinning
Spend some quiet time in the open air
The burdens of the day can wait
There’s grace in the ordinary time and space

Take off your shoes and walk slowly
Feel the steady rhythm of your footsteps
There’s mercy in the silence
When you trade the rush of doing for the sacred of plain

Be Still

A stripped down  acoustic version of my song with just my Taylor 114ce guitar and my voice.

The North Pole was melting
And fearing a catastrophe
Santa hitched up his reindeer and flew to Washington DC

The Air Force saw him approaching
They scrambled a fighter jet
They almost shot him down before they realized he wasn’t a threat

They escorted him to the white house
To meet the president.
They posed for a photo together and then Santa Started to vent.

He said please mister president
I know you want to drill baby drill
But all those CO2 emissions are making the North Pole ill

He said I’m sorry Father Christmas
But I’m not interested in energy that’s green
it’s more important to me that we have cheap gasoline
And free Toys made by Elves in the North Pole sounds very nice
But you’re taking away American jobs, so I won’t take your advice

Then Santa said that since the ice will soon melt away
He asked the President if they could move to the USA

He said you and Misses Clause are welcome
because you look just like me
But we can’t have those pointy eared elves
Living here in the land of the free

So Santa flew back to the north pole
And sitting on the last patch of ice
Was a giant spaceship that even Elon Musk thought looked very nice
The Elves had built it while he was gone
tears of sadness ran down Santa’s face
And they all got on the ship, and they flew off into outer space

Now every Christmas Eve people look up at the sky
And they think about those good old days when Santa used to fly
Toys made by elves in the North Pole sure would be nice
But at least we get to buy our gasoline for a very cheap price.

The North Pole Was Melting (Acoustic)

 thinking about the people who feel soft when you need them and still cut you deepest.
Sitar crying over 808s like Michigan snow on hot skin, tabla snapping like bones you never set right, đàn bầu whispering the names I never say out loud.
Silk that kisses, scales that bite.
I left the venom in the mix so you’d feel it too.  codawolf | Michigan basement | 3 a.m.



Dragon Silk

This piece was inspired by a particular Shakespeare sonnet.

                      Sonnet 106
          
When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And, for they look'd but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:

For we, which now behold these present days,
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

Descriptions Of The Fairest Wights

Funny how hard it is to recall details of what seemed at the time the most important permanent parts of your life..like a first love or relationship. Seems flashes of images remain but not the whole package

lyrics:
I can remember the day it all came together
and the minute it all fell apart
I don't recall the reasons for either
but they both left a big black mark on my heart

try to recall the places and faces
try to remember the pleasure and pain
little things we did scattered through time
a few words we said sometimes come to mind

but my memory has failed me 
it's a big black hole
with a few points of light that flicker and vanish
but don't form a pattern try as I might

yes I remember the start and the finish
but not much of the middle I 'm afraid my friend
looks like i'm missing some pieces of the puzzle
but I can't go back
I can't start over again

can't go back

Hi Everyone!
This is another joint track by our duo and the first one after a slightly longer break. 
We invite everyone to take a ride on the cosmic highway through the Milky Way. For now, it's all happening in our imagination, but one day... in the future... who knows?
We refer here to our previous songs (especially “Winter Trip”) and surf-ambient sounds, but we also try to add new elements and textures. 
We hope you enjoy our new project! 
Have a nice trip! 🌔

Milky Hi-Way (w/Well)

Told you

Every track is a story.
Sometimes it feels like jazz,
sometimes classical, sometimes retro techno.
Different forms, same purpose: emotion.
