Lyrics:

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Recognising one another
as a friend, as a true brother.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

By sectarian politicians
humankind is being confronted.
Now is the time (2)
Troubles they want us to see,
people live them more easily.
Now is the time (2)
We need pragmatism …

We’re all part of minorities,
the red haired or left handed.
Now is the time (2)
No more talk about left or right,
no more minding if black or white.
Now is the time (2)
We need global thinking …

A renaissance is needed
in this present we’re living.
Now is the time (2)
Love flows freely in every heart.
Revolution inside each one.
Now is the time (2)
We need empathy…

03 - Abydos

Wow! What can someone say. If anyone of you really takes the time to read my crap (thanks i appreciate) probably knows, that i had quite some troubles with inspiration and really felt like i over exceeded myself and my artistic vessel in 2k20....

So i really kept sticking more to listening and later on i had to take a complete break, step a bit back and i got to admit that i really enjoyed the off time. I was completely away from and with music, as i couldn't keep up with this intense pace and i simply wasn't able to draw any more out of that fragile "bucket" so to say.

I am really into Collaborating this year, so i put aside my (plenty of) projects and as i really befriended a few of you amazing artists out there, i got to admit, that it was (no offense towards any other closer friends here) the biggest impact for me, when my dear @texmex-shaman suddenly sent me this first raw version of the first third of what i can present to you today.....

It took me quite some time to get into it, but then it evolved, it grew into this wonderful thing here and i think it cured me... kinda... After busy months and going (wild again) with the arts for the cover to try to also convey the feeling into an image to show it to you, my fellow soundcloud friends and all other people....

..., it guided me to the point where i can now say "Here we are. This is it for me, after a long break to be able to upload again something where i put so much love and creativity and musical spirit into"...... This is also a declaration of love to Jim Morrison and his Spiritualty and his Native American Spirit......

Thank you for staying here with me my friends and its always so great to experience all this and this community and passion and love for music and so much more!

Truly yours,
Cmd. SF

Way Out Here ft. Night Owl - collab with TexMex Shaman

The depths of loneliness

It's a real pleasure for me to introduce this work, which has probably been the most interesting, complex and somehow challenging collaborative session I ever joined so far, at least in terms of rearrangement tasks.
It all started with an early version of a piece by The FURICO Music Team (@user-596493783) called "Mood Of Two" (https://soundcloud.com/user-596493783/double-beat-swing - feel free to take a look at the production notes as well, at https://furicomusicteam.blogspot.com/p/mood-of-two.html). We had been planning a collaboration for a while, so they sent me this groovy composition of theirs, both audio and midi files, allowing me the freedom to do whatever I wanted with them. 
On the one hand, I was intentioned to respect the original structure of the piece, and after listening to their own final version of it, released in late February 2021, I was literally blown out by all of the cool electro-psych features they'd added to the original tune, so my aim was delivering a rendition of that new vibe as well. On the other hand, I wanted to do it my own way, spicing it up with a typical Teth Sin flavour. 
First of all, I resampled the original drums tracks, trying to give them an acoustic feel. Then I replaced the bassline with my own, somehow developing it with a fair amount of variations; I overdubbed a couple of electric guitar tracks, and an electric piano part.
It was about time to add vocals as well, so I asked my friend Stonerjazz (@user-911083679) if he wanted to join in, remembering him being a big fan of The FURICO Music Team too. He enthusiastically accepted, as I'd expected, and a few days later he sent me a recording of him singing one of his amazing poems on the pre-existing, swingy backing track. He's recently released a ballad version of these lyrics (at https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/beloved-sisters-of-the-storm), which is of course totally different and still very cool. 
I adapted his vocals stem on the sections where I wanted the singing to appear, and I finally added to most of the tracks a few weird, stuttering effects. This final sound design stage was crucial in order to deliver the kind of sound I was looking for. My aim was distilling a proper mixture of our combined styles, and I think my efforts paid off. Regardless of the aesthetic value of this work, it has been an extremely interesting experience for us, we all had fun and we're satisfied with it. 
I'd like to conclude by quoting Stonerjazz's first reaction when he listened to the final mix: "Well, Mick... What can I say about this elixir...?"
Big thanks to my awesome collaborative partners!

LYRICS:

The tiny silver thread, transcendent of the reckless life we led,
the raging river way down below...
It's like the moment when you realize it's finally time to go.
Oh beloved sisters of the storm,
Thank you for appearing in your human form...
What could I do, what could I say... I guess that I was on my way to another nervous breakdown.
The taste of life so sweet upon our tongues...
We were gods when we were young.
I don't think I'm going home, this thing won't leave me alone

I've got fragments of the sun and moon enbedded in the core of my cerebral stem...
And of course there is that Key that's allegedly buried in this pile of sacred rock in space
that supposedly unlocks the gate that holds the dog and holds the bone and blocks the path that takes me home.
Check yourself, what are you thinking at the present moment.
Sometimes I can feel the Giant moving slightly in his sleep.
Just like Vishnu dreaming high in the mountain valley
of the Mighty Himalayas...

Hello Folks!

Been quite some time, but being slow, doesn't gladly result in no productivity at all. Haha! After my Collab with @texmex-shaman (thanks again brother for this awesome experience), i was rummaging unfinished projects and thought about "whats next?". I found plenty of stuff which craves for my attention, but too close on the timeline with our first summer vacation at my parents in laws place.

So i came to the usual little drill , like "What equipment will i take with me" ,  "How will it be?" (in terms of my usual unique work and creativity flow) , and "Will i be able to do anything in the usual FY style at all?"...... turns out it was a fast super week there with a lot of various ventures, activities and wonderful weather!

I also used the possibility a few times to take the chosen stuff (i did go for the minimal setup as minimal can be) out in the garden, sat down summerstyle with a cold alc-free Radler and just worked in my DAW with self-built synths and a Studio One "Impact XT" drum preset which i manipulated and bent into the way i wanted it to be. Comparable with the first track you build in the Andrew Huang course, i went full electronic and after that week i had like 90% of it!! 

I have to thank my dear friend TexMex Shaman who did pre-listen ALOT and also encouraged me to build that intro (which took me quite a while to find the right samples, shape them and do some automations and stereo field sweeps - awesome process to push myself into this).

Going mad with the Visual was also predictable... most of you who know me by now, would've expected that, i guess? I love that process, like you have that music and it creates an audible image in your brain, but adding something as close as you want it to look like with a cover, is a complete different and somewhat relaxing process to me. 3 weeks of alot of work and manipulations. So much new stuff i did learn!

I want to thank big big time Chris Ainsworth on Flickr to give me the permission to manipulate his wonderful pic of an restorated "Tron" Arcade Machine!! (https://www.flickr.com/photos/53643381@N00/)

We're soon at the end of this summer and 2021 feels already passing way too fast and there is so much music to listen and also to continue working on. 

Love this SC community! Thanks for being out there and all this exchange!

Yours,
CMD SF

########### Intercepted Admirals Transmission#########
Commander Fullyard was cruising through the Peep Durple system when the voice of Admiral Krank came in over the radio. It had to be done. One Colonel Hardy had turned renegade, establishing his own fiefdom among the Simmippians. According to the highly classified intelligence wire, Hardy had committed the highest crimes against groove, outlawing shuffle beats of all kinds and limiting musical expression to tonedeaf folk music. 

And now the swampy assignment: Operation Mango Wood. Hardy must be brought to justice or eliminated immediately. Was there any way out of it? Were there not several other officers capable of carrying it out? Didn’t Krank owe him a favor or two? Did the Commander need to remind the Admiral of how he came to his rescue in Operation Bass Guitar Part Rearrangement? Nothing doing. These orders came directly from Her Majesty Herself. She wanted- nay, demanded- that Commander Fullyard do the job. 


##########################
I thank the Admiral for this opportunity! I, Cmd. Fullyard, fully obeying his will from now on, accepted the new supreme command in regards to any further additional space missions satisfying the highly royal needs of her Majesty! May she survive us all and may her burial chamber-like sten... ermmm sme... errrrmmmmm ..... FRAGRANCE never dissipate!

#########################

(Operation) Mango Wood

Its hot and wet in the jungle, tonight
Laser axe hummin', red glowing, ready to bite

Mango Woood, Mango Wooood, Mango Woooooooooooood

A royal spacesuit soaked and boiling
Swampy assignment, highly annoying

Mango Woood, Mango Wooood, Mango Woooooooooooood


##################

This one was a real journey and along with the other collab i did with the mighty @texmex-shaman. The Admiral (@user-766619428) sent me the base and groovy drum pattern long long ago, early 2021, and it took quite some time to find the initial spark to go mad, but then it was a real blast. Kinda started sampling the whole thing and deformed it into something i never thought it would sound like. Recorded some stuff in the flat  (little child drum, etc.) and refined some axe-chops from our woodwork session early in 2021 along with some VOX and other little space pixie dust, b3 vst and synths. Later on he added the amazing guitars and additional fx - me finally trying to squeeze everything into the mix. Thank you so much for doing this with me. I hope this will be not the last one!

I also want to give credit to my parents in law and my love, which were so supportive in finding the right place for the shoot and helping me with my artistic vision to come true. This was quite a wild ride and it couldn't have been done all by myself! (That little forest fishpond was cold af... haha)

Thanks for the community for all that support and wonderful comments and reposts, likes and such. We are a real great "family" and i am glad to have you all!

Cheers,
CMD. SF

This is the 4th song posted from the album I started using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic when I had extra time due to society closing down. This song was inspired by Black Lives Matter and my own experiences with the police growing up in the California East Bay Area in the 80s. 

It has been an incredible opportunity working with Wou-Wou, Stricknice, and Bitzone on this album. I feel like we have a realized sound and vision for the overall style of the album. It is exciting to know that we have many more tracks ready to be released. 

Massive thanks to RUIZZOIDMAN (E-Ruizzo) for joining us on Cruising Through. RUIZZOIDMAN has massively contributed to the positive vibes and individual creative spirit that defines our SoundCloud community. This is the second track I have had the honor of RUIZZOIDMAN joining in on. Big ups RUIZZOIDMAN!!!

Lyrics:

Hey I caught you sniffing
Get off my tail 
What you think you sniffing
Get off my tail
Hey I see you sniffing
Get off my tail
What you think your sniffing

Is it the neighborhood I’m cruising through
Is it cause I’m rolling deep with my crew
Is it cause I don’t ever trust you
Is it your suspicious of me

Hey I caught you sniffing
What you think you sniffing
Hey I see you sniffing
What you think your sniffing

Is it your suspicious of me

Still feeling shamed I reclaim that part of me you took
With looks of disdain as I refrained afraid to get booked For nothing 
I shook from your tree
In fact it probably be 
My inherited fruit first 
That now you attempt to hoard in force
In tradition with your legacy of scarcity  
But my ancestral fraternity is inherently abundant 
There’s nothing to defund from it
Word

Yea, that’s what I’m talkin’ about

This is the neighborhood I’m cruising through
This is my neighborhood and I’m cruising through
This is our neighborhood and we goin’ cruise through

Lyrics:
You, the light my life
I find myself
Being baptized
By the sunlight now
Oooo
A lovin this pure
I don’t feel like I deserve
Now I’m listenin'
Tell me what to do
My arms are always open
My home is your home
I won't forget the vision
You and me on a throne
Your happiness to me
I'm trying to describe it
My heart it i just cant hide it
Your love sets me free now

The Light Of My Life - Paploviante

Got to work with Marc Freak @marcfreak on this one after he foolishly offered to, in a comment on a track of mine. I spent a bit of time in London in the late eighties. Boy George was king, the food was still mostly bland and there were a million different rules for dress depending on where you went. Funny how sometimes things can be so foreign and familiar at the same time. I have lots of thoughts but I won't bore you. Oh and the music. I knew most of the bands but it did change my perception a bit to hear them in context. Thanks so much Marc for the singing, melody, lyrics and maybe some context. ;)
Lyrics:

PERFECT DREAM
Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire
Like a drug bust with a visible wire
But its worth it for the time that we spend
And I pray they don't end

All I crawled through has the skin busy itching
And my internet is permanently glitching
But I cannot bare the time we're apart
Its a trial of the heart

CHORUS
Is this just a perfect dream that's coming true?
I want to spend the whole of my brief life with you

When you're standing in darkness and a glimpse of light shines through
When you're lit up like a beacon
And although you are freaking I'm loving this dream come true
With you

And the time I have left grows ever shorter
I am drowning in invisible water
Its a failure on my part I can't swim
And the prospects look grim

There's a torch that ever shines in the distance
Hold my hands up - show no signs of resistance
I'm a prisoner of love 
I don't mind in fact I'm pleased to do time

CHORUS

When you're standing in darkness and a glimpse of light shines through
When you're lit up like a beacon
And everyone's peeking 
I'm loving this dream come true

Perfect Dream (A Marc Freak Collaboration)

In A Foreign Land

Welcome and well met! The chances that you will be granted eternal life, after listening to this creation, are pretty good!

This is my first ever "useable" eurorack modular patch i ever created and passed my hearing test (lol) for reaching its final state of going public - therefore being uploaded onto the cloud. 

I am down to synths, hell yes i do! I recently found, that there are some organic limitations in working only in a DAW with virtual instruments. I herded quite some synths and will definately use them in future tracks, but working analogue is quite different.

There is no preset to load, no ultimate variations or starting points, depending on the architecture and the signal flow, you have to fiddle and turn some knobs and sliders and really understand the basics and how all of these manipulations come together to create something audible.

Some stuff is pre-patched internally, especialy with semi-modular stuff, and for instance using something like the Behringer Crave or the Arturia Minibrute 2, this stuff can be manipulated and tweaked thanks to a additional patchbay with many ins and outs to plug some cables for some FUN.

I got this eurorack-case quite some time ago and it was just a matter of time that i will order my first module, and another one and yeah that other fancy one too, and gladly i did not turn mad (yet), because there are millions of possibilities and options to create your own really "unique" instrument with so much stuff being able to do with it, that someone really should boggle about it  more than twice, before loading tons of stuff into the shopping basket and put some heat on the credit card... hahaha.

After a nice weekend at the "parentsinlawplace" i ended up after quite some midi-to cv (control voltage) trial and error runs and decided i will just go for some really mindless fun before i hit bed.
What happened then was this 4 minute thing with me patching some stuff into the osiris wavetable oscillator module by modbap and what you hear in this drone-scape-ish osiris travel into the afterlife (and maybe back again?). It is the result of using 2 sliders and 5 knobs and getting a feel of actually going with the "flow" while discovering the sonic beauty of it.

This is the very first modular track i uploaded ever, just slightly tweaked in the DAW (added intro/outro filtersweep and delay and a general chorus to add some stereo mojo).

This is something completely different what most of you might expect here and there will be more. This is a lifetime progress and process, and I'd be happy to have you on this journey.

Truly your sonic servant,

Cmd. SF


PS: Some technical background -  for the freaks and interested people.
I did use two modulation sources which were provided by the self built DIY Dysphonia Synth - one LFO and a S&H (Sample and Hold), which were modulating the Osiris Wavetable. When you take a look onto a Wavetable, there is a X and a Y Axis. On the Osiris you can patch these with some external control-voltage (CV), so i tweaked and modulated a constant change with both the x and the y axis, as well changing the actual wavetable-position on the module itself. Additionally i changed the timbre knob to add some additional change in the tonality and character. 


I did use a modified Picture from Jeff Dahl, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0>, via Wikimedia Commons,
showing Osiris which was heavily edited and placed on the most left and the most right border of the cover art.

Because Valentine's Day was yesterday, and today is today.  By Janine Levinson 2022.   **note - I made a mistake and used the phrase "coat of arms" when I meant "suit of armor." Wishful thinking with phrasing I think. Anyway, I like how it came out so I left it that way. You get the point of the song I hope <3

Everything Reminds Him of Her

He wants a whole new sky
He found the end of the stars
He stayed up all night long just looking

He needs a coat of arms 
Around his broken heart
To keep the pangs of love from shooting in

That’s because everything reminds him of her

He kept the car top down
And he just drove around
‘Cause there was her perfume on everything

He bought a brand new ride 
He put the Mustang down
Just for that new car smell of a Chevrolet

Because everything reminds him of her

Maybe if It’s always night 
Or maybe if I cross my eyes
Then you can steal away when I’m not looking
Or maybe make a deal with me 
And vanish from my memories
Just keep yourself away so I can face tomorrow’s

Brand new sky 
Featuring all new stars
He stayed up all night long just watching

And into a tiny hole 
Made in his coat of arms
Entered a spear of love just shooting in

And everything reminds him of her

Everything Reminds Him Of Her

In 2020, I presented W.E. (Bill) Bartolotto with a trilogy of incomplete songs asking if he would be interested in helping me finish them.   Bill was quite enthusiastic and so we began the process of collaboration which I am sure most Soundclouders are familiar with.   2 years later we have managed to come up with this track..
	The concept is based on Jack Vance's 1963 novel “The Eyes of the Overworld” and is, more or less, a discussion, partly of the nature of reality, and partly, of the reality of human nature.
	While the concept and music is mine, the lyrics are the combined effort of the two of us.

Full credit belongs to:
   	W. E. Bartolotta:  	vocals
	Ken Minty:  		vocals and all instruments except percussion
	Mike Konopka:	percussion, sound engineer, arrangement, mix and master

Please check out Bill's SC site at  soundcloud.com/user-233624083

Lyrics:

Part 1:   Smolod Town
	where shall the overworld be found
	where shall all our dreams and promises touch ground
	even in our most wistful hour
	it is not wise to underestimate the power
	of gods that strive to be alive

	in Smolod town where marsh and tundra mix
	the huts are birds’ nests made of mud and sticks
	yet the folk walk proud, heads high, voices loud
	in Smolod town

	the village is the abode of squalid gnomes
	as unlovely, graceless as their homes
	yet fixed upon their eyes violet cusps disguise
	their poverty

	the vile stench of filth is everywhere
	it permeates the dark and clammy air
	yet the gnomes know not these spoils
	they conduct themselves as royals
	in Smolod town

 	
Part 2:   The Prince
	when the old one dies
		I shall wear the eyes of the overworld
	I’ll become a king
		I’ll have everything in the overworld
	on lotus fruit I’ll dine
		and drink the nectar wine of the overworld
	I’ll live just as I please in luxury and ease
		staring through the eyes of the overworld

	the lenses do not blind
		they project the mind to the overworld
	though my life’s been poor
		my senses know the lure of the overworld
	exquisitely divine, 
		all pleasures shall be mine in the overworld
	the quintessential scheme of paradise I’ll dream
		staring through the eyes of the overworld

	I’ve worked the barren soil,
		for fourty years I’ve toiled in the normal world
	thus I’ve earned the right
		to taste all the delights of the overworld
	I want to die like this:
		by surfeit of bliss in the overworld
	a prince ‘mongst princely peers to spend my final years
		staring through the eyes of the overworld


Part 3:   Wistful Hours
	where shall the overworld be found
	where do all our dreams and promises touch ground
	even in our most wistful hour
	it isn't wise to underestimate the power
	of gods that strive to be alive

	do you believe
	do you ponder and seek
	do you work endlessly
	to see through the overworld’s eyes

Eyes of the Overworld

Eyes Of The Overworld

=========== Lyrics ===========
take me somewhere i think i really need to get away
maybe to a place that could be better than it is today
everything is different now i'm feeling like i'm real depressed
i got a heavy burden digging deep down inside  my chest
there will be no rest for  the servants of satan
put me in line to receive some medication
it took a lot of time but i never got a answer
going down this road i think its leading to disaster
---------------------
i will not beg
for your forgiveness


tell me whats right
but i wont listen

feeling so bad
this is your life

take me away
cause this is not right
--------------------------------------------

i will not budge from my position
you put me in a place to face all the opposition
is this the direction that you really wanted to go
so many things that you'll never even get to know
feeling like a stranger inside of my own body
one evil eye projecting like the illuminati
preaching like a crooked pastor way to hell is coming faster
tell me what i want to hear i think i'm facing all my fears
--------------------------------------------------

i will not beg
for your forgiveness

tell me whats right
but i wont listen

feeling so bad
this is your life

take me away
cause this is not right

Faith in fools - Spaghetti Western 📹

This song is about a drifter who roles into ghost town where he sees shadows silhouette of people from a long time ago. He thinks that they are real and experiences an evening of southern hospitality that includes a bottle of bourbon whisky. It's when he wakes up in the morning that he thinks if it was all in his head....Were they just visions he had in that ghost town. The deeper meaning to the song is that we live in a world we think is real, formed by our experiences and influenced by the environment. However, there may come a time when we wake up to the reality as it really is. Life is formed around ghosts and sillouettes who can influence our behaviour. As Marcus Aurelius once words are opinions not facts....or in the modern era....wake up and taste the coffee.

Lyrics: 
The tumbleweed roles down a dusty boardwalk
In a ghost town in New Mexico
Shadows silhouette in the evening sun
Of people from a long time ago
As the moon rises on the horizon
A drifter rides in. You could tell where he’s been
After days on the road feeling saddle sore
All he could think “I need a cool drink.
I need a good woman and more”.

There was southern hospitality he’d never seen before
They welcomed him into the local bar
With a bottle of bourbon and a home cooked meal
He felt like a movie star. 
Soon the bottle was dry 
His head rolled back, and he closed his eyes
Few have walked in the drifter’s shoes
He’d crossed many lines so many times 
Life could be good to a few.

Well, the mist fell down on the old ghost town
As he closed his eyes and fell asleep
It’s more than in his head
It’s more than what he thought and said- skin deep

The drifter he woke on the morning sunrise
He turned and opened his eyes
Looking through the haze of an empty glass
He saw to his surprise
The bar was empty, not a soul in sight
He raised to his feet then looked down the street
He was on his own felt shivers to his bones
Was it all in his mind? Was it all in his head?
Were they visions he had in that ghost town?

One thousand miles from Texas

The drifter

The Drifter

I, I don't need a sign
To protest what you're doing
To protest what you're doing
Is that alright? I'm not your kind
Cause' I, I don't follow blind
The faith in what you're leading
The faith in what you're leading
It has died, crucified, oh...
-------------------------------------------------------
Enter nothingness, throw it all away
Face of emptiness, need some regime change
So complacent with all the thoughts you keep
In too deep with this self indulging way
-------------------------------------------------------
Hide from all your lies
It's bullshit what you're saying
It's bullshit what you're saying
in my eyes you're not right
Mirror your disguise, breaking glass today
All along this time, you've been in my way
-------------------------------------------------------
Enter nothingness, throw it all away
Face of emptiness, need some regime change
So complacent with all the thoughts you keep
In too deep with this self indulging way

LYRICS:

No rest on earth for a sinner
A crushing blow I deliver
I wash my hands clean of the day
What can I do? What can I say?

There is nothing left but the wicked
The malady with which you're stricken
A hundred lies still in the quiver
A darkness falls and makes you shiver
And makes you shiver

A recipe for sheer disaster
A slight of hand by your master
And seeds are sown, they grow a garden
A fragile mind that's forced to harden

There is nothing left but the wicked
The malady with which you're stricken
A hundred lies still in the quiver
A darkness falls and makes you shiver
And makes you shiver

And darkness grows
What do you know?
You've lost control
You are not in control

And if you feel like a stranger
You might just be in certain danger
And if you're feeling copacetic
The lights die down and then you get it

There is nothing left for the wicked
The malady with which you're stricken
A hundred lies still in the quiver
A darkness falls and makes you shiver
A darkness falls and makes you shiver
A darkness falls and makes you shiver
And makes you shiver

THE END OF THE BEGINNING

Africana III

Going West

Keitonie and I came into contact with each other a few months back and discussion between us inevitably turned towards collaboration.   Keit is a blues guitarist of considerable ability, so I put down a track based on a jazz/blues riff and sent it to him.   The guitar track he sent back was remarkable.
	The lyrics of an acoustic/folk-type song, which I had been doing for some years, called “The Second Revelation of Palimsest Doglycouth” perfectly matched the track we had set down … and it sounded (to me) completely new and adventurous.   I hope you find this recording as much fun to listen to as it was to record.

	The guitar is Keitonie, I am responsible (for good or bad) for all the rest.
	Keitonie's SC site is:  https://soundcloud.com/keitonie

Lyrics:
	you know I live in a well where evolution swells and a great Melchizedek rules
	and a Thought Adjuster dwells and my mind is compelled to treat it as a spiritual tool
	well there are Sentinels, Cherubim, Angelic souls and Seraphim and Midwayers working here too
	and there are red men green men yellow guys and orange eyes and other people coloured blue
	and the name of my earth is a name that gave birth to my spirit and I spell it this way
	with a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

	well I live in a local system governed by administration great and good and spiritually wise
	and the local system’s part of a greater constellation that is minded by ten types of Most Highs
	and that’s within a universe where Satan’s last and Michael’s first and disembodied Will Creatures 	thrive
	and over all’s the superverse where all small pretensions burst and Adam and Eve are alive
	and the name of my place, for the sake of my race, is a secret but I spell it this way
	aith a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

	there are Trinities, Infinities, Realities, Divinities, Beauty and Truth and Play
	there are Eternals, Ancients, Perfections and Recents, Unions and Faithful of Days
	we got Tertiaphim, Omniaphim, Class Three Seconaphim and all the Material Sons
	it’s a complicated nation, just one huge congregation, and I’ll tell it to anyone
	and the name of my home, if you’ve listened to my poem, is myself, though I spell it this way
	with a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

	and the name of my earth is a name that gave birth to my spirit and I spell it this way
	with a ‘U’ and a ‘R’ and a ‘A’ and a ‘N’ and a ‘T’ and a ‘I’ and a ‘A’

Cáfe sin filtro

Having survived an encounter with the notorious squirrels of Carduchia and escaped the dangerous Valley of Falling Pianos, our heroes now find themselves lost and friendless in the fearsome Mountains of Carduchia.   They spontaneously take up their instruments, to play, in these dark and strange circumstances, an odd and morose waltz.

I"LL be your dawg
If you need someone
You know that I"ll be there

Guess I always knew
One day I would find
Someone to care

Now its one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready and go cat go
Five for silver six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
She got to keep it in
She got to keep it in
She got to keep it in

I could never win
Every time I turned and walked away
Should have stood my ground
Some times you need too
Just put up and stay

Now its one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready and go cat go
Five for silver six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
No no no she got to keep it in
She got to keep it in
She got to keep it in

I keep moving on
Seems to me there
Aint no other way
Great big mystery
The crazy mixed up games
That people play

Now its one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready and go cat go
Five for silver six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
No no no she got to keep it in
She got to keep it in
She got to keep it in

Two For The Money (Patersongs & Conover)

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again
