Sensational, great sound and very creative

Excellent job with the words and your voice fits this music like a glove Skin and a cracking collab done here very well enjoyed guys...

A very intense experience, the lyrics are so desperated and dark, reminds me somehow on lyrics of Slayer (the band)

I like what you're doing dude, really different! This is great work, the music is awesome but with the Narratives it definitely comes across more dramatic and meaningful mate! Awesome!

This so works!..super feelings running through the piano and spoken words!  Superb thought provoking Track! ;)

Thank you for @Conjurer for popping this dude up in my stream cool as you like :)

Great take on this! He whipped up a really nice mystery feel!

Deep and powerful music, fitting these fantastic words well

I actually heard the chorus to this song in a dream I had weeks ago. I wrote it down the next morning and then forgot about it until a few days ago.

Get Ready to Get High

The Doonesbury Band is pleased to announce their new single Gotta Get High. 

See the official video here https://youtu.be/FdicVFpxEw8

Recorded in Roberts Creek British Columbia at the BADASS (Beach Avenue Design And Sound Studios) an exclusive and privately owned waterfront recording studio - the sound is unique and flavored with 60s 70s and 90s spices. 

"As a band we've played some pretty amazing cocktail lounges and we also record in some great studios but BADASS is another level. It was off the charts mind blowing. A real great place to make music with vintage gear mixed with high tech, it's by invite only so we feel really blessed when we are there. You feel at home pretty quick drinking a Hennessy or chilling on the restoration hardware couches and then you look out at and there are hump back whales going past and a bald eagle sitting right there, Its freaking mind blowing and really added to our mindset in a positive way. Still drank way too much though that also added flavor.."

The song is 110 bpm and just over 6 minutes in length. A great tribute to the rock and roll lifestyle. Leading in with a clean guitar riff and the subtle sounds of an electric piano the beat kicks in and drives the song with strong vocals similar to a Burton Cummings sound and a great fun original narrative.

Back up vocals are raw and powerful adding to the narrative. A technical note of interest that the backup vocals were each doubled up and slightly off set to get that great edgy sound. 

"This was such a great song to write and play. I feel it gives homage to all the awesome years we've had as a band together. We're not crazy like we were but we can still run up a bar tab pretty good. It was fun and I want to thank BADASS for thie hospitality and I look forward to seeing the guys again soon on tour." Doonesbury lead singer and creative director.

Guaranteed to get folks up and dancing Gotta Get High is released on Shaffer Music label. 

Look for the song available on 7" vinyl, CD, streaming and possibly…tape cassette? Who knows.

The Doonesbury Band will be releasing tour dates asap for thie Slow Down album released in July 2022.

Gotta Get High

A real pleasure to present to you perhaps the strangest song I have ever collaborated on. Gary simply sent me a line of prose to be used as an acrostic, where each word is the beginning of a line of lyrics. Nothing else. Blank canvas. The original words are "Show Those Ones You Love That They Are Adored Fully, Encompassed Within My Daily Thoughts Are Peaceful Intentions Towards Them All"

He asked me to make up some lyrics and a melody, any key, then to sing the tune to a click track and he would do the rest. To top it off the title of the song is acronymous - ACRONYM standing for the full title, which is "A collaborative record of nostalgia, yearning (&) memories"

Acronym

Show that I love you and hold all
Those memories close to my heart..those
Ones that we all made together. 
You mean all the world what we call
Love has been from the start..the thing
That will unite us forever. 
They make us gold
Are all we know
Adored until we're old
Fully complete

Encompassed by magic and fire
Within our safe house, desire, yeah 
My future is with you together 
Daily my prayer to our Maker, our
Thoughts mingle sweetly forever 
Are only of one and the other
Peaceful night
Intentions right
Toward the light, hold
Them tight
All complete

I did my usual trick of slapping something down, nipping to Bruges to check that the Trappist Monks were still making beer to my rigorous personal standards and leaving all the heavy lifting to him. Through an elaborate ritual of digital ceremonial magic, electronic alchemy, Job-like patience and wiffle dust he has produced this. Fascinating how he uses tonal and atonal harmony to create tension, power and release, matching it so well to the emotion of the words.

The lyrics are a paean to family and friends, his, mine, yours, ours.

Wrote this years ago, inspired by the photo my friend (SJF) created and titled. 

I asked Soul Muzick if he would be interested in collaborating and he was kind enough to add his talent to my words. I am thrilled with the result, I hope you enjoy it too.

My mind is uncontained
It takes over my brain
Sanity, madness has now slain
The only sensation left is pain

Of body and mind
Pours out in time
Forever lost never to find
It has begun, the infinite decline

Now resigned to this fate
Now in this place, I can never vacate
No other path exists to take
I've begun to bleed, it is too late

Anger grows deep within
Flowing out it must begin
My fatal hope is my end
So alone I feel, without a friend

Only foes round about
Inside and out they scout
In time I shall be found out
Of their success I have no doubt

Scavenging on what is left
Free for the taking it is no longer theft
This life I live I wish were death
If only I could endlessly hold my breath

Innate this reality
My thoughts shattered by duality
Split and broken a living fatality
Wander along in this flesh that is mortality

Try so hard to find thoughts of light
As I trudge through an eternal night
If only I had wings I would take flight
Woe is me for this is my plight

Never known and never was
Always seeking without a cause
As I crash I hear only their applause
Entranced, they pause

To bear witness to my demise
Dead, but still so alive
Ever moving, but paralyzed
Try so hard but can never cry

Beg and moan begin to plea
They scoff, they laugh, they jeer at me
Putrid faces rounded out with glee
They know nothing of sympathy

As each eviscerates me with their stinger
The hurt so bad, forever shall linger
At whom do I point my finger
Ah, at him that is the bringer

Tis I, the cannibal that is to blame
For that which consumes me is my timeless shame
I, the source of this stain
In place of tears I have only cold rain

Add to this, compounded guilt
This the source of my gilt
Wallow around in my own filth
Risen up to the hilt

Who is left for me to whine
All alone, but for perhaps the divine
The truth comes out, it is I that binds
The monsters within are me and mine

I hope you feel it, I hope you feel yourself...

Lets collaborate! Words are powerful but music takes them to a whole other dimension. I'd really like to combine words and music. Please message me if you would like to work together. I can share works or write new ones based on others' ideas. I invite others to read my works as well.
