"Slow Train" moment collides with late night attempt at practicing smooth arpeggios.  Further work required.  

On both fronts.

This Needing Time

Drop a cold lint rope, ease my troubled brow,
Turn my face to the clear light's shine,
Prop my soul with hope, please, somehow
Need some faith, in this Needing Time.

Hold a candle proud, lest to state my case
Plant my flag today, midst this earthly grime
Hymnals spangled loud, caress my teared face
Need some faith, in this Needing Time.

No need for big brand labels on this personal cross
My sanctuary, enabled, charts satan's loss
The seed of evil's wraith helped me draw the line
Need some faith, in this Needing Time

Graced with Agabus' blessings and Wednesday's Ash
Lay me sweetly, pray, 'neath avenue'd lime
Saved by Lazarus' dressings, and the scourging's lash
Need some faith, in this Needing Time.

lyrics:

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

I heard this story a long time ago
i heard it before, and now i am long gone

I faced my demons and now i'm back strong
not headstrong, at some point i was wrong

butterfingers, we lost control
we slipped away and run away

i cross my fingers, we won't mess it up 
again this time, i hope you'll be fine

you were so sloppy and gave it up
i hope you remember, that i was your crutch

next thing you know, was to lose control
and now you crawl, to save your soul

As the title implies, this is a sea shanty inspired instrumental.

As I wrote this piece on piano, my intention was to record it as a guitar piece. However, I liked the result on piano, so here it is. A guitar version will likely come as well.

I had fun writing and recording this piece, and I hope you enjoy listening.

Revised 11/20/23 - A few updates to the progression

Some information about this track’s processing: it was processed with “ The Pulsar Echorec” VST, so it should sound more analog. the Echorec disk involving magnetic saturation and hysteresis…I wanted a warped warm sound so there will be areas on the track where there are dropouts coloring and artifacts. I love the way it adds grit musically. It’s basically an old fashion tape machine. In other word, it dirties up the track, and adds character…I love it!

Haunted Memories (Richsoundz, John Stone)

Performed & Produced by John Stone
Music John Stone
Lyrics Richsoundz, John Stone


All my thoughts, they're still bearing traces
Your face  imprinted deep upon my mind
And your melodic, lilting voice
Like I ain't really got no choice
They're staying here inside me for all time

Even when I lay me down to sleep
You're stalking all my dreams
I  can't leave you behind
Everywhere I  see the signs
You're always present and won't let me be
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories

All my thoughts past events they're chasing
With you beside me everywhere I go
Your perfume always trailing me
And everywhere your face I see
There’s nowhere I can go that you don’t show

Even when…


I never saw it come to this:
What started with a simple kiss
Then love grew and we thought we knew
That life was long if love was true
But that was never meant to be 
When fate took you away from me
Till death us part our sacred vow 
But though you’re gone I see you now

Your spirit  follows  me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit …

Haunted Memories (Richsoundz + John Stone)

The much loved Radio Station was shutting down , a very sad day . This is the 2nd song by myself and well respected Alabama Lyricist Tony Harris , our next outing is a Country Rock song on the 22nd . Before that Charlie and the Fox have a cracking song out on the 15th of this Month , our working title was Sad Song , but it ended up a bit of a Dance track ( sort of ! ) Then on the 1st of May is a great track by brilliant New York Lyricist Andrea Brennan and I , working on a new one at the moment . So many thanks to everyone for sparing the time to listen !

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- five string fretless bass, seed idea
Composition-- The Eclectic Collective

This song started with Josh coming up with a bassline and the arrangement. He started it as a project for the Eclectic Collective, so they were all immediately involved. Ken first laid down his rock solid groove of a drum beat to complete the rhythm section. Scotty was first after that, adding some melodic/rhythmic guitar magic to the mix. Stephen then blew the doors off of it when he added his melodic, dirty guitar to it. JJ was up next with his funky electric piano to fill it in. Chris then came in and added the trippy, swirling, psychedelic guitars. Mark also came along towards the end and added some really cool, but subtle percussion, and if you listen for it, a triangle in there, too.
  Of course every good song needs a good producer. Stephen was able to wrangle this into a good mix, thankfully. He also very cleverly came up with and added the psychedelic break in there between the first and second verses. Chris also added some really cool vocals to that part, too.
  This one was a lot of fun to make, and was our second song with Scotty, with whom we really enjoy making music. Josh named it such because he wanted the spirit of welcoming lots of musicians to come through. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as
