hard to find purpose ..the sea  I guess is an escape or a place to seek clarity .."not a bliever but why take a chance". trust is science but don't discount religion

Lovely song with great production - and the story being told

this has got a real classic quality to it, reminds me a bit of the group folk bands that were around in the sixties,  real quality writing

2025: The Year of the Rat

Remixed with a new vocal track and mastered January 11, 2025.
============================
I met a guy.  He had very extreme political ideas and seemed to believe in every conspiracy.  I asked him where he learned the things he was saying.  He told me he know of a guy in Germany who was a fantastic source.  Afterward it occured to me that the "guy in Germany" could be anyone, and that it was a pretty dubious kind of source for all his supposed knowledge.  Little by little the guy in Germany became the Random Dude.
=============================
Lyrics:
Verse:
I recognize that look
I see it all the time
You probably think that I’ve lost the plot
You worry bout my state of mind
You think I’m lost in conspiracy
But I can see things you might never see
Cuz I’ve found a place where the actual truth
Is handed out to anyone for free

Verse:
I’ve been searching for the truth
For as long as I can recall
I was pretty young when I realized
They were lying to us all
The government, church and the media
Their lies are a complete disgrace
But I found a source for the real story
He been there a while, out in cyber space

Chorus:
He’s got a website on the internet
He’s the strangest guy that you ever met
Don’t know where he lives or his real name
Can’t say for sure that he’s completely sane
A chip on his shoulder and a bad attitude
But that’s my guy, he’s just some random dude

Verse:
I tried going to the library
Talk to some folks who had a pHD
Conversed with a government entitiy
Took a course at the university
I would watch the news or a documentary
But all of their lies never satified me
He doesn’t need evidence, science or math
To get to the truth, the dude found a different path

Bridge:
The dude told me some remarkable facts
Like world not round it’s completely flat
He says the deep state had JFK shot
UFOs are real, covid was not
Chemtrails are part of population contrl
With 5G & vaccines they’re killing us slow
When he told me 911 was an inside job
I kinda had to conclude
That he knows his stuff, the random dude

Verse:
You might trust your scientists,
Doctors and lawyers too
You might trust your experts and
Everything the media’s feeding to you
But I know better I know who to ask
I know someone who’s thought it through
I know a random dude on the internet
He always tells me what’s really true

Chorus:
He’s got a website on the internet
He’s the strangest guy that you ever met
Don’t know where he lives or his real name
Can’t say for sure that he’s completely sane
A chip on his shoulder and a bad attitude
But that’s the guy, he’s just some random dude

Outro:
I once did my own research very seriously
Looking for websites that agreed with me
But these days I hardly even bother to read
I got more answers than I’ll ever need
He knows a hell of a lot and he’s never been wrong
if you want to know more all you gotta do is go to random dude
That’s random dude dot com

Random Dude

Take off! These chains are falling away.
There's a message in your morning I just can't face.
I lay myself down, and I dream.
One day, there'll come a moment I can't breathe.

Lift off! I'll never follow you home.
Won't you give me Hill and Valley where I can roam?
A little corner for my peace.
This town has gotten dirty, and I can't leave.

There must be somewhere I should be?
There must be something I can't see?
There must be something I could take?
There are so many rules to break.
I throw it all away.

Hold up? You're old. Not feeling so great.
True, I see your storm clouds gather, and I'm tempting fate.
You don't leave any space to dream.
Left it all behind, just wasted behind the scenes.

There must be something I could be?
There must be someone I can see?
I'm running out of pills to take.
It's just another rule to break.
I throw it all away.

Get up! I will not be on my way.
You can wait another lifetime before I fade.
You see, my field is evergreen.
I still think in terms of what I've yet to see.

Take off! These chains are falling away.
There's a message in your morning I just can't face.
I lay myself down, just to dream.
One day, there'll come that moment I won't breathe.

There must be somewhere I should be?
There must be something I can't see?
There must be something I could take?
There are so many rules to break.
I throw it all away.

There Must Be Something

The seven seas all feel the same.
When you sail on them in the rain.
Your silver lining, like a shroud.
Was disapated by your cloud.
Such a clown. 

Oh, I could talk to you for days.
You set the pace.
It's a shame we had to go our separate ways.
We barely wiled away the hours.
Forget your flowers.
Can you still hear me from up in your tower?

Caught a television screen.
About anything. 
Could be a dream.
My fascination with the crown
Was decimated by the town.
And all the crowds.

Oh, I would walk by you for days.
You set the pace.
I just didn't know that I was in a race.
I know I wasted all my hours.
The time devoured.
You're looking down, and now I know that...

we all can't believe the same. woah oh.
I know we're all a bit to blame. woah oh, yeah.
I know some people have no shame. woah oh.
I know we all can't feel the same.

Oh, I could talk to you for days.
You set the pace.
It's a shame we had to go our separate ways.
We barely wiled away the hours.
Forget your flowers.
Can you still hear me from up in your tower?
Your tower.

Flowers

Though the night is so dark and full of fears.
It won't get any easier through the years.
I was getting tired in your shoes.
I was feeling lonely, fed up, used.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.

Just one more to take the edge away.
Just a taste of sugar, a lighter end to your day.
I was getting tired of your rules.
I was getting bored and feeling blue.

Maybe I just need escape.
Maybe I was feeling great.
Maybe I was looking out.
Maybe I was crying out.
Ever think I know who I am?
Ever think you wanna get some?
Everybody seeks admission.
Everybody's going missing.
I was getting tired of your blues.
I was feeling washed up, old and through.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.

I was getting tired in your shoes.
I was feeling lonely, fed up, used.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.


Lights Out

Bluebird, you will never reach the sky.
So keeping hidden, raise your voice up to the night.
I'll drink my whiskey, smoke my cigarettes till dawn.
The world is frozen, but this fireside is warm.

I was calling out.
I was falling out.
I was broken and bored.
I was reaching out.
I was hanging round.
I was waiting to soar.
Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Bluebird, you will never get away.
(Why would you even want to get away?)
You're only memories, all the rest will have to stay.
(Back in your cage where all the best birds stay)
Hidden only by the pretence that they care.
Like circles drifting from the centre to the air.

I was wondering out.
I was holding out.
I was broken and cold.
I was never round.
I was on the ground.
I was getting too old.
In the cold.
In the cold.

Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Bluebird, are you singing in my heart.
(Singing out from down within my heart)
They must've noticed, you were broken from the start.
(You were broken from the very start)
I'll keep on dreaming, won't you tell me what you saw?
(Just a little hint at what you saw)
When you left me, and I couldn't see no more.
(What am I to do? I can't see more)

Are you calling out?
Are you falling out?
Are you broken and bored?
Are you reaching out,
Are you hanging round?
Are you waiting to soar?
Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Well, you can run, but you can't hide.
There's no escape, from what's inside.
Well, we all live, and then we die.
Imagination helps you get on by. (x2)


Bluebird

Another banger track with no reference during the making, but somehow there's a 90's Metallica kind of influence within it!

Forsake The Underworld

Lunar Tide

Sowing the Seeds of Love [Tears for Fears Cover]

Lyrics

I'd walk the fields in dusty boots
With calloused hands and deeper roots
The stories carved in cedar bark
Still echo when the mornings start
I’ve walked the same path to the hill
Where time stands still, but I never will
Cause there’s a pull I can’t ignore
To wander out and seek some more

But I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

I’ve seen the skyline kiss the plains
And danced beneath September rains
I’ve learned to bend, but never break
Like river stones in mountain lakes
Each mile writes a verse I keep
Tucked in my coat for when it’s steep
I don’t fear the long unknown
When I know just where I’m from and grown

Yeah, I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the voices in the winds I meet
The map may change, but the truth I hold
Is we all need roots, and we all need roads

Let the seasons shape my name
Let the sunburn write my claim
Home’s not lost, it just expands
In footprints laid across the land

Still I carry the dirt beneath my feet
And the laughter in the friends I greet
The road runs wide, but my heart knows
The strength of roots, and the call of roads

So here I go, no need to choose
I’ve got sturdy roads and growing roots


We All Need Roads


This track is a raw outcry from the ashes of California's devastating wildfires.
It channels the anger and frustration of communities left to fend for themselves amidst bureaucratic failures and political negligence.
From underfunded emergency services to delayed disaster aid, the song exposes the systemic issues that have worsened the wildfire crisis.

In January 2025, the Palisades Fire alone destroyed over 12,000 structures and claimed 25 lives... Yet leadership was absent when it mattered most.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was criticized for being abroad during the crisis and for cutting $17.6 million from the fire department's budget beforehand.
Governor Gavin Newsom also faced public outrage for his administration's lack of preparedness and slow response.

"Everything’s Burning" is more than a song. it’s a demand for accountability and a tribute to those who’ve suffered due to systemic neglect.
Let the flames of this anthem ignite awareness and change.

EVERYTHING'S BURNING

Are we all guilty of contributing to global pollution?

Lyrics
Guilty, a crime we  all commit, without thinking  
Poison, the sea, the land, our selves, nowhere to hide

Guilty, as charged, I know I played  my  part 

Throw away, don't do it
Throw away
Throw away, don't do it
Throw away
Don't do it

Drifting, shadows lost and cold, trapped in a  heart of 
Poison, the waves pass round and round, nowhere to hide

Guilty as Charged

Once, I was a sailor, and people would watch as I'd go.
Down below.
The waves to and fro.

As I recall, treasure was hidden in barrels of salt.
What a jolt it was.
To be at fault because...

Far from the valley of home.
Out on the water, we roam.

In the blue water of the sea.
Far beyond the black border.
Of the Land.
What's your plan?
Gone the sand.
Through my hands.
All the time.
Swept away.
As the night.
Became Day.

Once, I owned the key and could open all doors that were locked.
All ad hoc, a cross
Hung upon my neck because...

I'm not a believer, but why take a chance to gain nought?
Gave no second thoughts.
No worries were wrought. 

Far from the valley of home.
Out on the water, we roam.

In the blue water of the sea.
Far beyond the black border.
Of the land.
What's your plan?
Gone the sand.
Through my hands.
All the time.
Swept away.
As the Night.
Became Day.

Open all doors that were locked.
Because...
I'm not a believer, but why take a chance to gain nought?

Far from the valley of home. (x3)
Out on the water, we roam.

In the blue water of the sea.
Far beyond the black border.
Of the Land.
In the blue water of the sea.
Far beyond the black border.
Of the Land.
What's your plan?
Gone the sand.
Through my hands.
Watching you drift away.
All the time.
Swept away.
As the night.
Became day.
In a watery grave.

In the Blue Water of the Sea

“Nobody’s Groovy Anymore” is a sprawling seven-minute epic from Icelandic post-rock collective Laxá & Heima Kvartett, teetering on the edge of prog. The track builds from a foundation of shimmering guitars and insistent pizzicato strings, anchored by Bjarne Guðjohnsen’s thunderous dub-tinged basslines. There’s a restless energy in the shifting time signatures and layered instrumentation—Matthias Helguson’s drums drive the track forward while Mike Taylor’s keys offer both shimmer and shadow. The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima, Sif Árnadóttir, Natasha Guðmundsdóttir, and Ída Sigurðardóttir—pull the piece in and out of tension with sweeping strings and sudden stabs, making for a journey that feels both cinematic and deeply alive. The groove may be gone—but something stranger, wilder, and far more expansive has taken its place.

Nobody's Groovy Anymore by Laxá & Heima Kvartett

"Jaded" is a stripped-back confessional from These Guitars Say Sorry, driven by nothing more than an acoustic guitar and a weary, emotionally raw vocal. The song unfolds like a private conversation, where resignation meets reflection. With lyrics that cut straight to the bone — “I’m just too old for this” — it explores the weight of experience, disillusionment, and the quiet acceptance that not all questions have answers. The sparse arrangement gives space to every word, allowing the melancholy honesty to linger.
