Bourgeois Bullshit

Don't waste your time
On bourgeois bullshit
Don't waste your time trying to fit in
Don't waste your days
With morals and rules
Don't waste your life like all the other fools

Hey, little girl
Don't buy their crap
About who you can be
About who you can see
Hey, little girl
Marriage is a trap
Hey, little girl
Don't buy their crap

Hey, little boy
Don't buy their song
About who you can be
About who you can see
Hey, little boy
Life is not that long
Hey, little boy
Don't buy their song

Don't waste your time
On bourgeois bullshit
Don't waste your time trying to fit in
Don't waste your days
With morals and rules
Don't waste your life like all the other fools

Hey, little friend
Your heart went astray
They took your soul
They ate it whole
If you escape
We will meet a sunny day
In the gutter of the Milky Way

Don't waste your time
On bourgeois bullshit
Don't waste your time trying to fit in
Don't waste your days
With morals and rules
Don't waste your life like all the other fools

When Music Cries
From Prompt Writing 12/30/21

Comes from somewhere
Hidden deep... slow arise
Strings pull  beating heart
Spirit helpless pulled apart
Somewhere deep surprise

Meaning pulses strains aloud
Singing soulful lines  - comprise
Bowing phrases arc their point
Expressive faces tears anoint
Aloud .... when Music cries

Desperate tears... tears of joy
Come naturally to this boy
Practiced pluck of violins
Melody embrace - begins

Black and White Harmonize
Keys and Signature of Time
Music reaches most sublime
Aloud again when Music cries

When music cries

RUNNING UP THAT HILL

Like so many this last week I got mesmerized again after so many years by the beautiful songwriting in this song by and of Kate Bush. A song from my young teenager years, released in 1985, that already impacted my younger self. And now due to a Netflix series called "Stranger Things" its back with a vengeance for younger generations. 

A quote from LIAM HESS, May 30, 2022:  
Over the weekend, the song shot to the top of the U.S. iTunes charts, with the show’s largely teenage fanbase taking to Twitter and TikTok to post about their new musical discovery from decades past. Others, however—notably long-time Bush fans of a certain generation, who have patiently sat through many decades of radio silence from a musician notorious for taking long hiatuses and doing minimal press—rolled their eyes. “How could you not know about the genius of Kate Bush already?”

 Great music is eternal after all.

This is my humble attempt at it in the form of an acoustic guitar trio piece. I hope you can enjoy my cover of this classic.

As always I really appreciate your likes, comments and shares!

Solitude

To walk the road to heaven have the least time those who repair it, and those who carry the lantern stumble more easily than those who follow it.

天国への道を歩くのに一番時間がないのは修理する人であり、提灯を持ち歩く人はそれに従う人よりもつまずきやすい。

那些最没有时间走天路的人是修天路的人，提灯的人比跟灯的人更容易绊倒。

Ceux qui ont le moins de temps pour marcher sur le chemin du ciel sont ceux qui le réparent, et ceux qui portent la lanterne trébuchent plus facilement que ceux qui la suivent.

Den Weg zum Himmel zu gehen haben die am wenigsten Zeit, die ihn reparieren, und wer die Laterne trägt, stolpert leichter, als wer ihr folgt.

Scutum constellation lies in the southern sky. Its name means “the shield” in Latin. It is the fifth smallest constellation in the sky.

The constellation was originally introduced by the Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius in the 17th century. Hevelius named it Scutum Sobiescianum, Shield of Sobieski, in honour of the Polish King Jan III Sobieski, who had been victorious in the Battle of Vienna in 1683. Hevelius created the constellation a year later to commemorate the event, and the name was eventually simplified to Scutum.

My gut reaction to these gut wrenching injustices. If you and your friends would like to add your talents to my effort, please do so. Send your collabs or covers to me via SC messaging, as I'm not really in the stream these days. The tempo is 100 bpm, and please don't ask for stems, since I don't have much computer time at all. Thanks for listening, and I hope to hear from you soon.

New Horizon

HELLO MY FRIENDS!  
I recommend navigating this large, chaotic cloud by tracks or playlists.
I am a Drummer/Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Producer. I've played in various types of bands over the years, Rock, Folk, Irish, Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Country, and Avant Garde. I'm best known for playing drums through multiple re-incarnations of Shiva's Headband, the eclectic, legendary psychedelic era band from Austin. One of my songs appears on "In the Primo of Life", and I co-wrote "Roots Rock Station" with Spencer Perskin, which first appeared on "Remember The Armadillo" and was re-released on "The Temple of Rock N Roll". I also co-produced the CD, "So You Don't Go Barefoot", by Sue Perskin of Shiva's. This cloud focuses on my songwriting. Credit is given to any and all musicians involved. Otherwise everything you hear I've done myself.
