I think this version works better, John. A definite improvement!

An unusual approach to winning her heart, but yoz make it work

stone_j bass hits right🔥, you need real fans, we got you check the page

IHO the remix manages to put a little different spin on the lyrics. The bounce in the track gives it a little smile.

I revisited the previous version and then listened to this one. I like the added instruments; the previous version was great, but this one is even better.

...this version makes the chorus much more expressive. Great additions, John! 👍👋

The hallway in my mind is hard to explain. To  better your understanding of this place similar to a Hallway, but I don't know how to explain this place in grave detail. This Hallway is where my negative emotions confide. What people judge me as, what people think of me, my fuckups my mistakes all confide here. Once I realized  I have to change the way I think, truly understanding that time will eventually take us all away,  with those baggage we have in life. It was truly freeing. Hallway chapter 2 is on the way.

HALLWAY CHAPTER 1

Problems Remain - Arise

When Im out walking in the countryside I often look up & see The Common Buzzard that as made an astonishing come back.
The "comeback" of the common buzzard refers to its successful recovery as the most common bird of prey in the UK, after being persecuted by gamekeepers and declining due to pesticide use in the mid-20th century. Legal protection and a reduction in pesticides have allowed populations to rebound, and they are now found almost everywhere in the country. This recovery is considered a major conservation success story. 
So back to the idea of the song which was recorded June 2024.
Crows pursue common buzzards a behavior called mobbing to defend their territory. By harassing the buzzard, the crows try to drive it away from their nest site, which is a common defense mechanism for many birds. 
I can never understand why the powerful buzzard just doesn’t turn and take the crow out with it’s incredible sharp talons. 
The idea I have linked to dating and trying to free yourself from the worst  brief two dates of your life yet she still persists in pursuing the third one.
Chasing you down just like the Crow with the Buzzard.
Hope this makes sense as my imagination always tries to think outside the box with lyrics.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

The Buzzard and the Crow 

V1
Just like the scratches you left down my back 
There a reminder of our brief past 
I turn my  talons to be a  lethal assassin 
ever time I looked up that never happened 

Chorus 
You are the crow
Me I am the buzzard 
Fly away from me
My brief lover x2
It’s time to let me go
Cause I am the  buzzard 
And you, you are the crow 

V2 
The first night we met the  warning signs were there 
Sharing platter not shared you  got tequilaed and fell of the chair 
I gave you the benefit of  first  date nerves 
I anit saying what happened second date was  absurd 

Chorus 

Lead break 

Outro 
The carrion crow 
who just won’t let go 
As I try and fly 
into the open sky
Your in pursuit 
following my route 
The buzzard and the crow 
Is there something that they know 
That’s me and that is you 
It’s over we’re done we’re  through

Love is not a word

The Patron Saints of Broken Dreams (John Stone)

A remix with some added orchestration

https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholiccompany.com%2Fblogs%2Fmagazine%2Ffour-patron-saints-of-impossible-causes-5915&token=666e37-1-1761323798126

I want her
I need her
But more than anything I have to believe her
When she says that almost  anyone 
Would be better than me

I tried it
Can’t hide it
Every trick in the book
I applied it
But I’ve run out of inspiration
And you’re the last chance I can see

St Jude, St Rita
The patron saints of broken dreams
Look down and help me out of this
No matter how impossible it seems

Gregory and Philomena
You can help out too
Though here on earth my cause is lost
Perhaps between the four of you 
There something you’ll agree
That can bring her back to me

Rejected
Neglected
No matter what I was never accepted
Even though I tried almost anything
Any time of the day

I praised her
Amazed her
But nothing I ever did ever phased her
Rejecting all my romantic advances
Simply turning away

So I call upon the
Patron saints of broken dreams
To listen out for me
My cause may seem impossible
But you’re the only hope I see
And  I’ll believe in miracles if you can make her see
That I’m the only one for her
The only one she’ll ever love is me

Cast of Characters:
Single Use & Recycled -- @user-995867230 -- Bill — acousitc rhythm and lead guitar and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums and percussion
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – synth strings
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — acoustic rhythm guitar, production, mix, and mastering
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody.
There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.
Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Shifty shire
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
Gerry's meandering
Not thinking of sane
What colourful friends can stop red rain?

With freedom waning
Conversation is paused
A few rich men failing
With solidarity cause
Shift the shire!
At minority we've baulked
That mind inconvenient
New red lines are chalked

State turf wars are on
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
For the rights of the white man
We missing those slaves
So legislate oppression
That skin 'aint red way

Shire (Eclectic Collective with Single Use & Recycled)

We have another great Rooftop Jam Session for you today💖

In May 2024, the Rooftop Live Jam took place at Amanitalinda's house. There was a live didgeridoo performance on the rooftop.
Our Child of Nature backing track served as the basis.

In October 2025, Jörg and Morten revisited this idea and expanded Amanitalinda's live performance with bass and tenor saxophones, resulting in this stunning remix.

Linda's didgeridoo and Jörg's tenor sax alternate in playing the role of the main instrument. Which feel wonderfully integrated into the overall character of the song.
It feels like we're a smart little band that can coordinate well with each other. This is a unique interval that resonates body and soul.
Please listen and give us feedback!

Please note: This special cover symbolizes Amanitalinda's enormous musical versatility and transformability.



Live recording video. 
Recorded in the east part of central Slovakia.
Home Sweet Home ✨💖✨

Let the dream go on✨ 💫 🌟

Here's a very special song & video!! It was a collobaoration with Olga V. Glushakova from VerAeternum. I wrote the lyrics and she wrote the music, sang it, perfromed it, arranged it, basically did everything else! Check out her channel on YouTube, it's amazing! She is a magnificent songwriter and performer! A natural star! Link below!

https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCyWV-rT_YK-kdXl3CABwY6g?si=2JpOQqwqmBf7hYIg

  I sent Olga like 5 lyrics and she picked this one to compose the music for and did a great job! I love what she did to bring my lyrics to life! I had offered these lyrics to other musicans before but what she did with them was nothing short of fantastic! It was a wonderful experience, she's the best! As far as the lyrics go, they are quite simple and reflect all things about love and how when you're in love it's everywhere you look. On the billboards, in the movies, in a book, it's in the air!! Olga made it itno a modern sounding song! I think it's great and her and her team did a superb job with it. 

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/QrpLfWs-3is

I added a little musical build up at the begining of the video and then mixed her video into it. I hope everyone enjoys it and goes over to her channel and subscribe and support Olga, she is an amazing artist! Thanks for watching and take care everyone!

“I DON’T CARE WHY"

IT’S UP THERE ON BILLBOARDS,    
IN EACH BALLADEER’S SONG,   
AT CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY,      
OR JUST DRIVING ALONG, 
WHENEVER I’M CLOSE TO YOU,    
I FEEL IT STIRRING INSIDE,  
UNDER THE MOONLIGHT,     
IN STORMY OR SUNNY SKIES,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, 
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,        
      
WHILE DRINKING MY COFFEE,    
WHILE READING A BOOK,   
IT’S IN EVERY MOVIE,   
WHEREVER I LOOK,    
THAT FEELING COMES OVER ME,    
WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES,    
CAN’T SEEM TO SHAKE IT,     
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,     
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,

WHILE I'M TAKING A SHOWER,  
HAVING MY LUNCH AT NOON,    
AT THE TOP OF EACH HOUR,    
IN EVERY PHASE OF THE MOON,   
WHAT A STRANGE ODD SENSATION,   
THERE’S JUST NOWHERE TO HIDE,    
I GUESS I’M IN LOVE?     
THAT MUST BE THE REASON WHY,    
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, DON'T UNDERSTAND IT,      
BUT I DON'T CARE WHY,    
NO I DON'T CARE WHY,     
DON'T REALLY CARE WHY,    
I JUST DON'T CARE WHY.

I composed this song for fujara - an instrument from my home country Slovakia - that I will soon endeavour to learn and explore its sounds.
