Stuff I Like 5

Universal Magic

It's a song about wandering around fields,   surrounded by Cows. There are bits and melodies from two famous songs interpolated into it. One is obvious, I wonder if anyone will notice the other.

LYRICS

You wander around.
Surrounded by cows.
There's a smile on your face, but a danger that you will not ever come down.
You see no way no out.
Intense on the ground.
Searching for something or nothing or one thing, that will get you out. 

You were never around.
You never came down.
The look on her face, put you in your place, oh, its so familiar.
You stare at the cows.
Avoiding the house.
You wander around and around and around, oh you wander around. 

The touch of her hand.
When you first began.
To call her your girl, and to make her your world, oh the memory is similar.
In them days left behind.
There's treasure to find. 
You cannot clear your mind, oh your mind, oh your mind, no you can't clear your mind. 

The shortest of falls.
Just forget it all.
It's not like you made it that high in the first place, just forget it all.
A search for a high.
A wave of goodbye.
If you can only avoid all the cows, oh the cows, oh the cows. 

A letting it go.
A thing you cant know.
A getting the joke after everything else has just gone up in smoke.
You wander around.
You stare at the ground.
What you wanting to find, oh to find, oh to find, what you wanting to find? 

You wander around.
Surrounded by cows.
There's a smile on your face, but a danger that you will not ever come down.
You see no way no out.
In tents on the ground,
Searching for something or nothing or one thing, that will get you out. 

Up above the streets and houses.
Rainbow flying high.
Everyone can see it smiling.
Over the sky.
Paint the whole world with a rainbow.


Cows (Around)

Well you move to the left
Then you move to the right
But you know you’ve been born
And given this life
You say you like it
Cos you’re a toddler

As you grow you get hurt
By the ones who love you most
As the pain seeps right in
Its covered by your ghosts
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna A few years older


And you find yourself some love
And you move into a box
Next thing you have some kids
And your head hurts a lot
Howl at the moonlight
As you oughta

And then your marriage ends
And youre sitting all alone
Making doodles and strange art
for your gravestone
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna A few years older

And I would love to break this spell
But time keeps moving I’m going down this well

Fungi deserve a song too. #progrock #postrock #shredguitar #ocarina #frogmetal

Loving The Fungi

A minimalistic and serene track that creates a peaceful and introspective atmosphere. The track features a single mallet like synth that delicately repeats a simple melody, without any additional instrumentation or beats. The track provides a sense of calm and tranquillity, making it perfect for relaxation, meditation, or as a background soundtrack for calming visuals. The track gradually evolves, leaving the listener with a feeling of peacefulness and reflection. Ideal for nature, aerial, travel, or mindfulness videos.

Last Round

Singularity

Just some snakes in the grass.
Slithering out in the road as you pass.
Fragments deep in the past.
You move on.

Like a cat in a bag.
Like a young lad on tag.
Like a wrinkled old hag.
Who belongs?

Take me away from it all.
Drag me up out of the squall.

Just a thorn in your side.
A lion sits watching and waiting besides.
Found a good place to hide.
Waiting on.

A teenager acting their age.
Considering things like a bird in a cage.
An empty box filled up with rage.
For no one.

Take me away from it all.
Take me away from the squall.
Take me away by the hand
Take me away from the land.
When we go...

...Sailing, on the sea.
We'll go sailing.
Just you and me.

Yeah, we go sailing.
From the land.
Yeah, we'll go sailing. 
Just take my hand.

We go sailing on the waves.
We go sailing, feeling brave,
and the warm sun will heat our bones.
As we go sailing, we alone.

Sailing on the sea.
We go sailing. 
Just you and me.
Yeah, we go sailing.
From the land.
Yeah, we'll go sailing.
Just take my hand.

Someday will come the pride.
Anger will be aside.
You won’t worry for the kids.
They'll grow happy and free.

I promise you someday we will prevail baby.
I will do what it takes.

I promise you someday we'll feel secure honey.
I will do what it takes.

One day, there will be no more threats.
We'll sleep soundly. No freaks.

The future will be appealing.
We'll smile anew in the morning.

I promise you someday we will prevail baby.
I will do what it takes.

I promise you someday we'll feel secure honey.
I will do what it takes.

Someday (Roomrock version - Link to the video in comments)

Some care was taken on this track to play some extra notes as if a second pianist was playing, and in the sequencer they are played onto the same track (the Grand Piano) then a bunch of instruments are in unison after the layering was done.  After the tradition of Moebius Cul-De-Sac and a few other pieces where I have done the lead synth voice in addition to chords, I tried to keep up these extra grace notes going throughout the performance.

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(NOTE for RepostEx users: I don't repost AI if I can detect it, and I only repost songs I like or show some level of competence or promise...and they usually don't involve an 808, misogyny, Autotune or singing off key over a prerecorded track...and at my age I'm FAR more interested in quality connections with listeners than going "viral". ALSO: mostly an aging rock/folk/prog/indie guy...can't really judge or really relate to Hip-Hop, Auto-Tune and other more modern styles...sorry.)

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture.  Ludi lives off-grid in a yurt in the woods of WI and finds the materialistic priorities of our civilization incredibly wrong and destructive.

I am a singer-songwriter who writes, performs, produces, records, mixes and masters all my own music.  I am open to collaboration and any licensing of my music.  Would love to hear from you!
