Monday Playlist week of 5/15/2023

A gentle love song that expresses the uncertainty of the unexpected seeds of intimacy and desire, and an overall message to not waste time, and to make each day count, whether it be in love, or in life.

Lyrics:    

Another Day

Another reed bending still, another tie of the will
Another stolen day we borrow
Another chance to lift the sorrow

Another day to begin, another share in the sin
Another moment to be hollow
You’ll never lead, I’ll never follow

Chorus:
I keep buying the illusion, when we say that it means more
But it causes such confusion, when we say nothing at all
Don't waste time.... Don't waste time!...

Do you reach for my touch? Has the night been too much?
Has polite masked the truth, past the welcome of my use?

Chorus:
You may not feel the same, I don’t hold you to blame
But there's an ache for you still, like that reed to the will

Will you ever fight for me…
Or leave me stranded in your sea?
A perfect love from perfect seed
Born from a place the angels keep...

Don’t waste time,
Another day passes by

Another Day

A song about autumn, friendship and a friend who goes far away for the cold season.
“The mountains turn white behind the city lights.”

Autumn Song

Outback Sunset

Compassionate scale.
Each impulse results in a force. The more momentum we take, the higher we jump. When there is a misfortune, an impulse of greater or lesser strength is generated. Here is a personal scale of that compassionate strength.
Cs0 Compassion predisposed asleep We are not aware of the existence of a misfortune. There is no force.
Cs1 Instant Compassion. We have seen it on a newspaper page and we have turned the page. It has caught our attention.
Cs2 Indirect compassion. Donations to charities. A person assaults you in the street and asks you, do you want to be human? And you say how much money you do it for. It is instant, but voluntary.
Cs3 Daily Compassion The news of the day. Floods, wars, social injustices. Your ideals come to light. To each one by his side and based on close experiences with said news.
Cs4 Compassion live. You are present when a misfortune occurs, but it is not with you. A violent situation that left a big impression on you.
Cs5 Compassion known. Here we begin to exceed the limits. A friend tells us about the misfortune of his mother. We offer our humanity.
Cs6 Voluntary compassion. You are a volunteer. You offer hours of your life to others many times without knowing them.
Cs7 Compassion target. The bomb explodes in your house, in your family or in your friends. You do everything you can to help.
Cs8 Self-pity. Misfortune concerns you directly. Prevent you from drowning. It can be extraordinary and lead to overcoming or useless if you no longer believe in it.
Cs9 Total compassion. It is when you give yourself to others putting your life at stake. I am not talking about a soldier, I am talking about a missionary in Haiti who does not leave, even if they tell her to leave.

It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive.


So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I don't need your church or creed
To get me by
I don't need no alcohol or pills
To get me high

I don't need to fight with you
I don't need a gun
I'm doing what I was born to do
I'm having fun

I'm high on life

I don't need negativity
Don't drag me down
I'm the king of my own life
Don't steal my crown

Eyes wide open,high on life
That's when I thrive
It's a one shot dearly precious thing
To be alive

So glad to be here
Whole and sound
So glad I can be
Still around

I'm high on life

CRYSTAL

This song started as an idea David and I came up with to do an afrobeat song together.  So David came up with this banger of a bass line and drums track and sent it to me. I added some guitars, electric piano, and organ. I then excitedly sent it to Mikey to add the sax, which I consider to be a key element of afrobeat music, and which he always does so well. David's version is much more drum and bass heavy. Please have a listen to both so you can hear how they both sound. I really had a good time making this song. David produced and mixed both versions, and what a fun thing it is to hear my instruments integrated into an elrctronica song by such able hands.

LAMENT

I read the news today oh boy
Oh brother, did you see what happened, 
another killer
And it makes me sad, I can’t get mad
It feels like a curse, it could get worse

And still, the things we think we know
Their in tow, how much do they owe
And I just don’t understand
Why can’t we all just make a stand

You’re my sister, you’re my brother
You’re my neighbor, you’re somebody’s lover
You might have a different mother
Let’s come together, stop killing eachother

Oh brother
Oh brother
Stop killing eachother
Oh brother

I saw the news today oh boy
Oh brother, we’re losing friends one after another
No need for enemies, we still got our rights
And still I fear, the end’s not near

The things we’ve already seen
It’s enough, its enough, we’re not that tough
We’re over-equipped, and we need a new script
Let’s be true, drop the blue and red hue
 
You’re my sister, you’re my brother
You’re my family 
You’re my neighbor, you’re somebody’s lover
Anybody’s lover
You might have a different mother
Let’s take care of each other
Let’s take care of each other, stop killing one another

Oh brother
Oh brother
Stop killing eachother
Oh brother

Lament

Tony's lyrics that inspired Glenny G are listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem.

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRY
HE HAD A SAGE GRASS PATCH
ON THE HILL BEHIND HIS HOUSE
WHAT A GREAT MEMORY

WHEN HE GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL
AFTER WATCHING ROY ROGERS ON TV
HE HEADED FOR THAT PATCH
WHERE HE COULD BE WILD AND FREE

FOR AN HOUR OR SO THE 8 YEAR OLD
WAS THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY
THAT LOVED FIGHTING BAD GUYS
IT FILLED HIS HEART WITH JOY

(CHORUS)
THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY
LOVED TO ROPE AND RIDE
THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY 
LOVED ROAMIN' THE COUNTRYSIDE

HE ROAMED TILL HIS MAMA YELLED
COME IN SON...IT'S SUPPERTIME
THAT SOUND MADE HIM SAD
HE LONGED FOR SUMMERTIME

HE SPENT HIS SUMMER VACATION
ROPIN' AND RIDIN' IN THE SUN
THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY'S DAYS
WERE ALWAYS FILLED WITH FUN

THE GOOD GUYS ALWAYS WON
ON THOSE HOT SUMMER DAYS
WHEN HE PLAYED IN THE SUN
HE STILL HAS THOSE MEMORIES

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Sage Grass Cowboy - Collab by Tony and Glenny G's One Man Band - Original

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta on a Louisiana share cropper's farm.   A lot of hard work and a lot of good memories.  Those days are gone now.  Sometimes that farm feels like a long lost friend.   I can feel the wind as it blows through my hair and smell the rain as it approaches and falls on plowed ground.

One More Dollar

Started with a few simple tracks - vocals, my Martin Acoustic, a little backing vocal, and some quiet harp texturing. Marc Elluse wrapped my tracks with his luscious guitar work and tweaked a mix that just blew my mind. I'm so very proud to be part of this project and cannot say enough about the creativity and skill Marc brought to make this a recognizable cover, but a totally unique one, as well. We didn't want a sub-par soundalike version of this Classic Rock masterpiece. MakaVox Sax (jazzy key synth) in the mix, as well. :D

This is my first solo venture. It's an album of ten songs and it can be downloaded  from bandcamp free,or for whatever you deem it worth. I'd be happy if you just take a copy and listen to my musical ramblings. 
Thanks to all who take the time.  :)

Follow on Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/album/4BOvUv16dOl6cgcWANX1Dz
A while back I viewed s/c as merely a hosting platform for posting on forums,but then I realised there was access to so many wonderful compositions by other folk,it then became my prime source of listening to music.
This little corner of the internet is actually a thriving musical community where nobodies such as myself can share songs with the great and the good.
All that just has to be positive and welcome.
Thanks to all who listen and comment,be assured I will return the favour,as I love finding new artists. Please don't follow me if you are going to unfollow,I only wish to listen and share music,I am not a follower collector.


Songs are a mix of solo work with all instruments played by myself,plus my own world weary vocals! I tend to favour my home made Telecasters and a Strat,though the odd acoustic makes an appearance. I use Logic Pro X and am a recent convert to DAW.

I play and write for the joy of expression and always with the hope my songs may be a positive force to anyone who takes time to listen. I'm an old boy now,so I harbour no dreams of success in the conventional sense,having the odd comment is just fine for me. Thanks to all who bother.

 Also earlier songs from a project in 2015, with Fiona and Martin Magill,Vocals and keys. Martin is a very talented working keyboard player,but sadly Fiona no longer sings. Our loss.
Lastly there are tracks from late 80s/early 90s from SOS,a band I was in back then.
