Solo Sunny

Solo Sunny (feat. Judith Mann)

The idea for this song came after a news broadcast about the problems in Brussels. I wanted to contrast the selfish politics with the wonderful culture in this beautiful city

Brussels

A simple message to myself from way back.  Found it almost like a message in a bottle. It said , relax , let go, live .... you are working and maybe even dreaming too hard.  Then slowly the message ....Connect .... seemed almost like a new mood elevating pill you could buy at a drug store.... and the song was not only advice from a future me, but quite possibly a tv commercial for a new drug called .... CONNECT.

Connect

Outrageous Outro

The Engagements Outrageous Act Of Randomness

By pressing play
you agree to
1. Become a lifelong devotee of this artist
2. Stream everything, even the weird side projects
3. Comment: "Genius"
4. Buy vinyl
Even if you don't own a turntable
Especially if you don't own a turntable

You tapped the beat? That's binding
You laughed? That's proof of consent
By tapping your foot in a public place
you now owe me your attention
until my artistic phase ends
or I fake my death for press

No refunds
No complaints
No skipping the outro

Clause 7b: You will defend me in comment sections
Clause 9: You will quote me in arguments you barely understand
Clause 12: Your soul remains mine
in perpetuity
plus royalties

She ate the fries
He bought the fries
Boom - contract

Somewhere between ketchup
and that third laugh
she apparently co-signed
his entire fantasy

Her wrist brushed his wrist
now she's liable
for his unmet expectations
plus damages

Didn't read the menu?
Still binding
Smiled politely?
That's consent

These are the terms
These are the traps
You clicked "I agree"
without reading the map
No opt-out clause
No human review
By being polite
you said "I do"

Hired on a handshake
you just sold your Sundays
Your dreams?
They've been repurposed
for synergy

The job title said "Creative"
but it meant
"Copy, paste, obey"
You clock in?
You vanish
You breathe in cubicle gray

Your spine?
Company property
Your passion?
A performance metric

See Appendix D
for how to smile on Zoom
while crying on mute
See Section 19
on swallowing your rage
without leaving trace

These are the terms
These are the binds
You didn't negotiate
you were just being kind
Now your silence is debt
Your patience is proof
Your signature's inked
in the sweat of your youth

By hearing this
you acknowledge
All transactions are final
All expectations are assumed
All resistance
is a breach of contract

Thank you for your compliance!

The Ledge

Introducing the song:

With lyrical irreverence and sharp criticism, Uli presents "Posta uma Linda Resposta": a song that celebrates freedom of expression, questions elitist art labels, and reveres the authentic simplicity of marginalized voices. In scathing and poetic verses, Uli invites us to respond with beauty, even if it displeases the most sophisticated palates. A bossa nova without caviar—made of soul, sand, and acoustic guitar.

Apresentando a música:

Com irreverência lírica e crítica afiada, Uli apresenta "Posta uma Linda Resposta": uma canção que celebra a liberdade de expressão, questiona os rótulos elitistas da arte e reverencia a simplicidade autêntica das vozes à margem. Em versos mordazes e poéticos, Uli convida a responder com beleza mesmo que isso desagrade os paladares mais sofisticados. Uma bossa sem caviar — feita de alma, areia e violão.

Lyrics in Portuguese:

(Verse 1)

No meu feed, alguém postou 
Não alegrou, mas também
Não desanimou
Era uma crítica aos críticos 
Um monte de textos rebuscados e hiperbólicos

(Verse 2)

Cada turma tem seu tema
A minha não tem um emblema 
Somos sem muita pós-graduação 
Ricos em cultura, mas não temos grana pra pagar um doutorado sanduíche.

A nata dos apreciadores sabe até mesmo que três trombones são amigos de uma trompa.
Mas, meus amigos e eu não somos chegados à muita pompa.

(Chorus)

Posta uma linda resposta,
Ainda que possa,
Desagradar a turma da bossa
E do caviar.

Mostra que a costa,
Costa da praia,
Não é só da gandaia,
Nem só da moça do corpo dourado.

Posta um poema gritado 
Ainda que possa,
Desagradar a turma da bossa
E do caviar.

Mostra que um violão, praia,
Grupo de amigos e uma simples canção,
Não foram eternizados somente
Pela turma da bossa

E do caviar.

(Final Chorus)

Posta uma linda resposta,
Ainda que possa,
Desagradar a turma da bossa
E do caviar. (Há espaço e lugar pra todo mundo se expressar)

(Moça do corpo dourado) 
(Do canto desafinado)
(Imensa dor)
(Quando a crítica não tem humor)

(Outro)

Isso parece bossa nova, mas sem caviar!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics in English:

(Verse 1)

In my feed, someone posted
It didn't cheer me up, but it didn't discourage me either
It was a critique to the critics
A bunch of elaborate and hyperbolic texts

(Verse 2)

Each crew has its own theme
Mine doesn't have an emblem
We don't have many postgraduate degrees
Rich in culture, but we don't have the money to pay for a doctorate degree.

The cream of the crop of connoisseurs even knows that three trombones are friends with a horn.
But my friends and I aren't into pomp.

(Chorus)

Post a beautiful response post,
Even though it might
Displease the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd.

It shows that the coast,
The beach coast,
Isn't just for partying,
Nor just for the girl with the golden body.

Post a shouted poem
Even if it might
Displease the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd.

It shows that a guitar, a beach,
A group of friends, and a simple song,
Were not immortalized only
By the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd.

(Final Chorus)

Post a beautiful response post,
Even if it might
Displease the bossa nova crowd
And the caviar crowd. (There's room and place for everyone to express themselves)

(Girl with the golden body)
(Of the off-key singing)
(Immense pain)
(When the critic has no humor)

(Outro)

This sounds like bossa nova, but without the caviar!

Ole Rock And Roll

The Epic Battle For Peace & Quiet That Saved The World From Trouble & Riot

North Georgia's Sonic Dreamer
Born amidst the melodies whispering through the Northwest Georgia hills, music flows naturally for The Steven Timothy Patrick Band. Picking up the guitar at a young age, spending years crafting a sound that traverses the spectrum of dreams – from soft rock's gentle sway to the intricate tapestries of progressive rock.
This music pulsates with the dynamic interplay of drums, bass, keyboards, and guitar. It's a sound both intimate and expansive, reflecting the vast landscapes that inspire me.
Influences have ranged from the soulful rock of Pink Floyd to the timeless Americana of The Eagles. Years of playing guitar live with worship bands have instilled a deep passion for weaving meaningful messages into my music. This foundation is further enriched by the improvisational spirit of Jazz and the infectious grooves of Reggae.
