So full of heart, and just gorgeous harmonies!

a fabulous approach to the vocals! the simple guitar strums give all the attention to your vocal layers! Great job!...especially the a capella ending!

Amazing poetic lyrics and emotional harmonies👍

Tamar Berk

Here we feature grungy melodic electric guitar, replete with buzz and hum, set off by a clear, full vocal lyricising on striving.

"Nothing Could Keep Me Away plays out like a deconstructed Laurel Canyon ballad, the center scooped out completely to let the vocal float above the faint pulse of a rhythm. " 
J Edward Keyes 
Bandcamp Editorial Director

I drove non-stop
Through a night of rain and thunder
In a rattling old ute
That belonged to my old man

Nothing could keep me away from you

A mother takes the handlebars
Smallest wheels and rider
No control
Brother says look mum
See how I ride
I’m on a downhill run
And it’s all mine

Young blood with a word to make
Passes a ball on the bitumen 
Dreaming one day 
See me on the big screen
Like the girls we cheered along
Can it be mine

Nothing could keep me away from you
Nothing could keep me away 
Another ramble where time’s connection’s lost
But the striving
It’s a constant
And winning you back
Fills my mind

Nothing could take me away from you 
I drove non-stop through a night
Of rain and thunder
Nothing could keep me away 
From you

Nothing could take me away

“Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by JTSunrise: 
🌧️ Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! 🌧️
🌟 The Backstory 🌟 In the twilight glow, our troubadour gazes upon those blue eyes, shimmering like raindrops. But wait, is this a love lost or a farewell to a departed soul? Buckle up, because we’re diving into the lyrical abyss!
🎶 Verse 1: The Echo of Love 🎶 "In the twilight glow I see her,
Blue eyes crying in the rain."
Ah, the bittersweet ache of memories—the moments shared, the kisses stolen, and the parting whispers. Our protagonist reflects on love’s fragility, like dew-kissed petals awaiting dawn.
🌙 Chorus: The Cosmic Reunion 🌙 "Some day when we meet up yonder,
We’ll stroll hand-in-hand again."
Hold your breath! In the afterlife’s celestial ballroom, our star-crossed lovers reunite. But beware—the dance may be colder than anticipated. 🌠
🌿 Verse 2: Regrets and Silver Strands 🌿 "Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I’ve loved in vain."
The sands of time slip through gnarled fingers. Regrets nestle like fallen leaves, and love’s embers flicker. Our troubadour, an old man, ponders choices made—each note a tear in the fabric of existence.
🎵 Bridge: Raindrops as Tears 🎵 "I can see her star in heaven,
Blue eyes crying in the rain."
Rain, the cosmic weeper, mirrors our sorrows. Each droplet whispers secrets, painting constellations in the sky. Those blue eyes—now celestial orbs—shed tears, etching their story across the firmament.
🎩 The Grand Finale 🎩 And there you have it, dear listeners! “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”—a symphony of longing, regret, and cosmic reunion. Whether you’re sipping moonlit tea or pondering life’s mysteries, let JTSunrise serenade your soul.
🎶 Available now on SoundCloud! 🎶
Remember, folks, life’s melodies are fleeting, but the echoes linger. So grab your umbrella of emotions and step into the rain-soaked balladry of JTSunrise. 🌧️🎵✨
Listen here and let your heart weep harmoniously! 🎶

Songwriter and Early Recordings:
The song was written by songwriter Fred Rose in 1945
It was first recorded by Elton Britt in 1946
Roy Acuff recorded a version of the song in 1947, which helped popularize it further
Hank Williams Sr. also recorded his rendition of the song in 1951
Willie Nelson’s Iconic Version:
However, it was Willie Nelson’s recording that truly made the song a classic
Nelson included it as part of his 1975 album “Red Headed Stranger” 
The album itself was a concept album about a fugitive preacher on the run from the law after killing his wife
Nelson’s version of “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” was praised for its clean, uncluttered country music style and a sparse arrangement reminiscent of the 1940s
Rolling Stone described it as the “beating heart” of the entire album
Chart Success and Revival:
Before this song, Willie Nelson had primarily found success as a songwriter (with hits like “Crazy” for Patsy Cline)
As a performer, he had only reached the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart twice before
In October 1975, “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” became Nelson’s first No. 1 hit as a singer
By the end of the year, it was the third-biggest song of 1975 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart

Song idea with harmony experiment. Garageband with built-in mic. Hope our SC friends enjoy.

There are times I cannot hold on
But you come and steady me
In my dreams and in my darkness
Just as when you were with me

When I come to my last horizon 
I will walk to the light I see
And I will find you there beside me
We will both rest be in peace

Until then, I will remember
To live high and worry free
In my dreams and in my darkness
Just as when you were with me

When I come to my last horizon 
I will walk to the light I see
And I will find you there beside me
We will both rest be in peace

Corrupt Thinking  -  Lou Taverna / Jamie Rhind

Hollywood celebrities are trapped by Satan
Hollywood celebrities are trapped by Satan! 

Hollywood celebrities are lured to an award show and are trapped inside by Satan! 
		
Like moths and flying insects, glowing light they are drawn towards 
Hollywood celebrities cannot resist awards
And Satan was aware of this, of course, and sought to trap them 
Lure them to some swanky venue where he could kidnap them!  

Why, you might ask why would Satan kidnap these celebrities 
The women are so beautiful, the men so very handsome
Satan knew that the general public worshipped them like deities 
And with their very souls their fans will gladly pay the ransom!  

Hollywood celebrities are trapped by Satan
Hollywood celebrities are trapped by Satan! 

Hollywood celebrities are lured to an award show 
and now Satan holds them hostage 
and their fans must pledge their souls to set them free.

Folks:  Call the 1800 number flashing on your television 
And make your pledge to Satan, that’s spelled “S-A-T-A-N” 
If you choose to make this rather wise and well-informed decision 
Hollywood celebrities will walk the streets again. 

Our target for the first five minutes is one million souls 
And If we hit our target we will let them all go free! 
But If you disappoint us and we don’t achieve our goals 
These Hollywood celebrities will die on live TV!  

Satan:  Let’s bring Tom Hanks up here!  Tommy!  Come up on stage! 
There’s Meryl Streep!   C’mon Meryl! Get up here! 
Jimmy Kimmel!  You old son of a gun!  Get up here!  

Is the guillotine ready?  Bring it out!   

Time to check the tote board!   Timpani!   

Only 50 souls!?  I warned you what would happen! 

<guillotine sound>. 
<crowd gasp>. 

Hollywood celebrities are trapped by Satan
Hollywood celebrities are trapped by Satan! 

Hollywood celebrities were lured to an award show 
they were trapped inside by Satan  
And Tom Hanks 
and Meryl Streep 
and Jimmy Kimmel 
were summarily beheaded

Hollywood Celebrities Are Trapped By Satan!

a live demo recorded on the old tape machine.........peace, cheers for having a listen and seasons greetings.............*Tombstone Jones by The Bluebirds From Montezuma..........one of my many favs that ive found on here........a great group i like to listen to in the morn with me cuppa


somebody told me it's mind over matter
but does it matter to you that mine is in tatters
cos I'm sick of what I'm seeing on my devices
it's breaking my brain

advice never asked for, watch them boiling wooden spoons 
hearing peoples cringy songs with them singing outta tune
and pretending that they listen
to get a good review

or watch them bury their heads in their hands as they weep
cos they lost everything they got nowhere to sleep
and from the comfort of our 24/7 live feed
we can give it our armchair critique

and as always there's talk, endless conclusions
everyone shouting so there aint no solutions
to the problems that lie at our feet
seems they only exist when they're on our screen

branded and tagged like cattle at the station
trying to be our authentic self on rotation
but we can't shut up about it
cos everybody's gotta know

so many conversations we're all trying to be heard
and not paying any mind to the things that deserve 
our attention deficit has never been so bad I've heard
since 1963

and as always there's talk, endless discussions
like a blow to the head can give you concussion
like the problems that lie in our homes
seems they only exist if someone else knows

we protest cos the cows are fartin to much
but if we eat any, the plant lovers hate our guts
cos they rather we live on daises and nuts
so we can squeeze through a crack in the wall

maybe what we need to do is find a quiet space
pull up a chair and stare into space
and for 5 minutes just be alone with our face
and shut the fuck up for a while

stfu (For a While)

The last track for this year 2024 from the G.O.T.E. 
Wishing all the SC community all the best in 2025!

I'm waiting here. 
Spinning around and around and around in a web called life.
I'm hanging in.
Entangled by your love.

Entangled by your love.
What'll it take to bring you back to me?
What'll it take to win your heart.

I'm losing time.
Waiting for you to come back here and eat me alive.
A black widow's treat.
Entangled here for you.

Entangled

Amor not around

Play For Me


intro is a quote from the novel Cat's Cradle(1963) by Kurt Vonnegut Jr

My Compass is Broken

Plans are vague                                                             
Imprecise                                                                         
Indistinct                                                                          
Like men and mice                                                        
But it's better than having a stone cold point of  view   
Feeling lost 
Cast adrift
Gone off course 
Missing ship
No need to understand where I'm heading to

My compass is broken                                                  
The arrow is starting to spin                                         
This path unspoken                                                       
Not sure of the place I'm in                                           
Do I turn East?                                                                
West?                                                                               
Father does not know best                                           
My compass is broken                                                  
I don't know what to do       

                                           
Empty maps
Beckon me
Find the lost
City of Z
Take a long, strange trip inside my little head
Foreign fields
Hallowed ground
Misunderstood
Tightly wound
Instead of finding the treasure, I find myself instead

Oh, my compass is broken 
A newfound split past everyone 
From one pole to the other 
Like Peary, Scott and Amundsen 
Do I turn North?
South?
Living foot in mouth
My compass is broken 
What do I have to do?

Peculiar travel suggestions                                           
Are dancing lessons from God                                    
So move your feet to this rhythm                                 
And do the Mashed Potato                                          
Or the Kurt Vonnegut                                                          

Grow a pair
Get a grip
Find a job
F#$* that shit
Destination unknown
Take a chance, enjoy the view

My compass is broken
It's a world of bobble and spin
I'm awake but unwoken 
It's the best place I've ever been
Switching it on....off....
From the equator to the permafrost
My compass is broken
Don't call the rescue crew                                           
My compass is broken                                                  
I'm far away from you                                         
My compass is broken
Do what I have to do
