Lyrics:
The rain the rain, lt finally came, not the rain of May, By the way-
Wet and freezing cold and clean and clear, my dear-
Falling down on my head-
The fire and smoke of summer gone
all cleared away ln a single day,
miraculous, some might say-

The bus broke down along a Pastoral stretch
had to hitchhike lnto town
the wood got wet
the stove lt smoked
the band it choked
And yet, a wheel bearing lt was found
ln a dusty corner on a shelf
ln a Rusty little Town of No Renown-

Still time to make the Date At Joe's Garage ln Sante Fe
where some members of the band await,
Antlclpatllng a packed house
who've come to hear the hit song that's Playln on the radio--

Oh, Stu of the blues
Got the band back together again!
Sink or Swim
Around the Mystery Mobile
Made of mushroom patches
Round the back where we grew ourselves
Just to meander the intergalactic block
With our caravan of travailing home
and the wooden smell of campfire coffee

Oh, the rain, the rain it finally came
not the rain of May
By the way...
Finally
Finally

Lyrics:

(The Mysterious D.)
Rain falls from the light
The vows of the fox burn bright

(Cosmic K.)
Sun shines as the rain falls
Shadowy forest filled with lights
Silently processing forward
In the trees, flashing bright

Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(The Mysterious D.)
In the land of the rising sun, where legends,
myths and magic is spun
There's a tail of a fox bride
who comes with the rain by her side

(Cosmic K.)
Foxfire flicks between realities
Lures unwelcome eyes
If they catch you watching,
best atone --
if you are wise

(Mysterious D.)
In the land of eternal forest
where the love lies deep in root
If the fox groom sees you looking,
You might meet his overbearing tooth

Kitsune No Yomeiri - (Pharma P / Mysterious D / Cosmic K / Lofi M / Hobocop)

I saw this amazing short video (90 seconds, and worth it) called A Great Homage to Nature of changing appearances and mimicry of nature. This piece was going to be called The More Things Change, but the video inspired a change (!) of title. The graphic is a still shot from the video, which I gratefully acknowledge. Look closely.
The vid can be found on Youtube - search with that title above. (The link I had no longer functions.)

Changing into You

Come And Go As You Please

After a short keyboard introduction, the main tune of this melodic instrumental piece is played on alto sax, followed by an improvised tenor sax solo.
The overall feel of this piece is fast, yet relaxed melodic rock. Using a combination of electronic and acoustic instruments.
Composed and recorded August 2025

I Don't Believe In Conspiracy Theories

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I comment on a track, I like to say something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock, jazz-rock fusion, prog & alternative rock, blues, classical and neoclassical, to mention some. Main instrument is guitar; I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
