SAILING THE MAZE OF THE SPECIAL MAMBA

Dr. Mamba (Work in progress)

Afternoon Slumber

"The iconic "Man in the Maze" (I'itoi) symbol is an ancient design originally found on Tohono O’odham baskets. This prehistoric pattern, symbolizing one’s journey through life, also is the seal of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. The legend of the “Man in the Maze” helps children understand the meaning of life.

According to the legend, the man at the top of the maze depicts birth. By following the white pattern as it winds toward the center, the figure goes through the maze encountering many turns and changes, symbolic of life’s choices. As the journey continues, one acquires knowledge, strength and understanding. The labyrinth illustrates the search for balance in the physical, social, mental and spiritual realms while working toward our dreams and goals.

Nearing the end of the maze, one retreats to a small corner of the pattern where he reflects back on all the wisdom he has gained, and cleanses himself before reaching the dark center of the maze. Legend says that the Sun God is there to greet us, bless us, and pass us into eternal life in the next world."

This is an original song that Durge started by creating a story about a musician going to an open mic night in the city to play some of his music. Nat took over the second part of the song by adding the girl musician and the chance convergence of the two musical souls. We co-crafted the final lines of the song to celebrate the lasting value of such chance meetings and events.

Lyrics:  Shooting Star by Daniels & Durgy 

The sun was just as bright as hell, and the air
Hung upon my shoulders
The city is a wishing well, and it’s where
Everything unfolded

The sidewalk was a frying pan, but it led
Further from the fire
With my guitar case in hand, and a head
Full of lost desire

Just a coffee house open mic, and you said
Your song just really hit me hard
Then we played and it felt just like, 
It was meant to be, just like a shootin’ star

A summer breeze that broke the spell of the heat
Sent newspapers flying
My heels tapped to the silent beat of a clock 
That fate began unwinding 

Tempting chance I kissed a coin, and felt, the aim .. into lover’s fountain
My pearls kept pace as I made haste to the gig, where it all unfolded ..

Dropped my guitar and stood there still as you sang, 
And felt your words like they were mine
Then we played and it felt so right
Like the gods themselves made our souls collide...

Ta da da da da da da...

Every day is a brighter day because you 
Gave your love and hope to me
Having you was a gift so wild
And you stay, in my perfect memory
Time can’t take us ‘cause you will be
Someone who remembers me

Down The Rabbit Hole...Again

"Delia's making a list of every lie she's known
I ain't on it yet, I never will be I hope" 

Two ideas crashed together or this one -- it's rough.

Delia's Song (Don't Let Your Love Stray)

Music : Janne Hennie & PJ Project
Vocal & lyrics : Janne Hennie

Lyrics:

You tighten your grip that you have on me
Iam so scared
Baby , why can't you see
That you got me exactly where you want..
When you say you're leaving
I beg you Please baby, don't!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
with no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

You can take all my money
Spend it your way
You can take whatever you want
As long as you stay..
You don't have to love me
Or tell me that you do
You can do what the hell you want
As long as i have you!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me , baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

Trilhos -  8 - 5-2023

Recalling some tequila, love words and more with them in that Ibiza bar, I wondered: “What if Pink Floyd met the spirit of Camarón de la Isla… in my bedroom?” I used lots of guitars, basses, etc. on a 12/8 beat, to enclose 3/4, 6/4 & 8/8 rhythms along.

Letra / Translated Lyrics: EL POZO DE TU AMOR  /  THE WELL OF YOUR LOVE

Fui a abrir el grifo, estaba sediento,  /  I turned on the tap, I was thirsty,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Fui a abrir el grifo, necesitaba hacerlo,  /  I turned on the tap, I needed to do it,
fui a abrir el grifo de tu amor.  /  I turned on the tap of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el grifo de tu amor.  /  I needed the trap of your love.

Fui a bajar al pozo, me estaba muriendo,  /  I was going into the well, I was dying,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Fui a bajar al pozo, y me caí dentro,  /  I was going into the well, and fell inside,
fui a bajar al pozo de tu amor.  /  I was going into the well of your love.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

Por bajar al pozo, yo me caí dentro  /  Because of going into the well, I fell inside
y no quiero que nadie llore por mis lamentos  /  and I don’t want anybody to cry for my laments

Caí… por ti.  /  I fell … for you.
Caí… caí… caí por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell for you.
Caí… a tu pozo, caí por ti.  /  I fell … into your well, fell for you.
Caí… caí… caí… caí a tu pozo por ti.  /  I fell … fell … fell … fell into your well for you.
Caí.  /  I fell.

Me he caído al pozo, y ahora que estoy dentro  /  I have fallen into the well, and now I’m inside
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Vine a beber al pozo, pero el pozo está seco,  /  I came to drink at the well, but the well is dry,
veo que se ha secado nuestro amor.  /  I see our love has dried up.
Necesitaba un trago de tu amor,  /  I needed a drink of your love,
necesitaba el pozo de tu amor.  /  I needed the well of your love.

After updating my new time travel profile pic, I figured it was also time to refresh the bio. The amount of world-class talent on the Cloud never ceases to amaze me. I don’t say that lightly – I’ve learned so much from so many of you. There are artists here I genuinely consider among the best musical talents I’ve heard anywhere. And I have heard a ton of music.
I’m a lifelong music addict. For me, music can be transformative, cathartic, joyful, and intellectual – often all at once. My taste? Almost anything done well. Almost. My own music is eclectic: from acoustic guitar pieces to jazz fusion, to prog/alternative/psychedelic rock, to electronica.
What really keeps me here, though, is the community – the interaction, and the sense of connection that somehow forms even when we never meet in person. The goodwill and respect are something special, and I don’t take that for granted.
Finally, regarding recording – if you’re still reading! – my humble studio hasn’t changed in 15 years. I’m even still running Windows 7 to support my old Steinberg DAW. No AI tools – just me, I like to control the physical process at every step, from idea, to playing, editing, mixing, and final production.
