This is The Shadows In The Shade.  It's about "living in a simulation" theory.

Lyrics:
Watching every move you make
Hearing every thought
Knowing everything you are
And everything you're not

Nothing will you try to do
Nothing do you say
Shadows in the shade
Providing you the way

Every move you make, your own
Believe what you believe
Yet doing things with cause unknown
Is too much to conceive

Barely take a moment's pause
Then get on with your day
Back on track and for the cause
For that's the chosen way

Connecting and collecting
Minds and souls to trade
Blending in the background
Shadows in the shade

In another lifetime
Outside in the sun
Playing games with those they knew
Real friends having fun

Mothers called the children home
When the sun went down
Street lights brightly shined the way
For all the kids in town

Immersing in the virtual
Real worlds to the eyes
Without a question follow paths
As if hypnotized

Somewhere in the deepest dream
A voice is calling out
Street lights brightly shine the way
Then suddenly go out

Morning brings a brand new day
In time all dreams will fade
All part of the simulation
From shadows in the shade

This is kinda dark.

Lyrics;
The empty eyes
Had seen the future
A silent heart
Had found the past

Off into the distance
An engine roars
The sound is fading
Very fast

Dead end alley
End of the road
Dead end 
is all you need to know

Yellow light darkly shines
And dimly reaches ground
Dumpsters tethered to the walls
Where treasures for lost souls are found

Moon is new
Stars beam through the dim light glare
A cool breeze
Stirs the dirty air

Dead end alley
End of the road
Dead end

The empty eyes
Had seen the future
A silent heart
Had found the past

Dead end alley
End of the road
Dead end 
is all you need to know

Dead End Alley

COOP Lyrics

His is about some dude on a beach....😉 

Lyrics;
People looking for me
in some other place
FBI on the news
Have you seen this face?

There's no TV'S here
Just sand and some waves
And my beard's getting long
Cause I haven't shaved

I'm on the run
Reclined in this chair
Just a guy with some time
And lots of money to spare

Got my feet to the sea
Umbrella for shade
Cold drink in my hand
Yeah, I've got it made

Some dude on the beach
Nobody cares
A guy on the run
could be anywhere

A notorious criminal
Daredevil I hear
Biding his time
Til the coast is all clear

I used to play by the rules
With the suit and a tie
Regular citizen
Real stand up guy

But after some time
The air got too stale
And my colorful world
Began to grow pale

So I took a leap
On a cold rainy night
And just disappeared
And I'm still out of sight

Yeah, I'm on the run
Reclined in this chair
Just a guy with some time
And lots of money to spare

Just some dude on the beach
Nobody cares
A guy on the run
Could be anywhere

The sun's burning hot
And I've got a fresh tan
I'm living the life
Of a real wanted man

I used to play by the rules
With the suit and a tie
Regular citizen
Real stand up guy

Got my feet to the sea
Umbrella for shade
Cold drink in my hand
Yeah, I've got it made

Pluto's Retort

Here is Pluto's Retort. This is actually the second time I've written it. The first one was a bit longer. but got lost.  The story just seemed to fit the music so well. 

Lyrics;
Pluto here, the planet
And I'm gonna fix the spin
That's buzzing round the galaxy
And buzzes back around again

I heard ol Neil talk about me
I heard Neil put me down
Well, Neil degrasse Tyson,
Don't think I need you 'round

I'm the planet you call Pluto
Rocking groupies are on my path, that's true
They just wannt to see the show
Don't let that bother you

It takes a little while for me
to orbit around the sun
Your Earth goes round 248 times
Before I can go around one

But I'm the rock star of the Kuiper
Finding loving groupies on my way
And I'm pushing right on through
So what you got to say

Who needs a sub planet anyway

Yeah! Pluto here, the planet
I'm here to fix the spin
Neil, you gotta tell 'em
That I'm planet nine again!

Yeah, I'm the planet you call Pluto
It's been a rocky road, that's true
But Ice and rock don't bother me
Don't let it bother you

Pluto's Retort

There is this little break.  We hope you like it.  The inspiration for the lyrics is a dream that consists of a giant puzzle.  It looks geometric, like farmland. The dream stops but it begins again, and again, and again...  There is this puzzle...  iT MUST BE SOLVED...

Lyrics;
Running down a rabbit hole
Your bright world turning black as coal
The optimistic mystic spell
A pessimistic prison cell

See your dream with eagle eye
But with broken wings you'll never fly
The unexplained in full control, has got you
Running down a rabbit hole

Your feelings change with every move
You find the beat but lose the groove
Confidence leaps from your heart
You feel your faith falling apart

Deeper still the search goes on and on
Darker still before the dawn
So unsure of what you'll find
The draw too strong to leave behind

Pieces of a puzzle
Becoming clear within your view
The answer right before you
But you don't know what to do
Fade to black
You haven't got a clue

Running down a rabbit hole
Hit the target but miss the goal
Questions only multiply
Where when what and how and why

The Nightmares burn and leave a scar
Inside your mind they're never far
They chase after your very soul
Running down a rabbit hole

Rabbit Hole

Live and Die


Verse 1:
So many changes come after your life begins
You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again
You are born alone and you will die alone
It’s no secret and it seems to be widely known

In between you will come across many people
Some are oh so good and others oh so evil
Some will be friends other’s will not
They will get your skin so sweaty and hot

Your body start so little and gradually get bigger
At first you will have milk and later strong liquor
Your mind does the same as it fills with knowledge
Some of it will come from the books in college

But regardless you and I know what is to come
Regardless of what you think or if it make you numb
In the end your body will give and leave this Earth
It doesn’t matter if you have a ton or worth





Notes:
These lyrics came to me while listening Carl “Buffalo” Nicole.  You can listen to his music here:
https://www.youtube.com/@BuffaloNichols/videos

This song started with me trying to learn how to use the strumming guitar feature in Kontakt,  I have tried before but failed several times.  I found playing my guitar so much easier.  This time was different, there were people nearby and I had to be quiet.  The only option was using a virtual guitarist that I could listen to on my headphones.  I eventually figured out how to use it.  You will hear me change the strumming from verse to chorus and within the last two choruses. How do you think I did? I might use it again sometime.

This is my first upload to SoundCloud in over a year.  I became frustrated with SoundClouds marketing policies.  They deleted two of my accounts.  I do not know why.  That means all of the music on those accounts is now lost.  Lately I have been using YouTube to upload my music.

Live And Die

This song is based on a poem written by my Aunt Pat.  Here is the original poem:

Courage
(1998)

The room is bright and cheery.
The people inside seem a little weary.
Conversations are soft and low.
Each new person enters anxious, yet slow.
They sit waiting, dreading, and still
Wanting to hear the nurse call their name and, “Next”
Then with Hope in their Hearts
And Courage in their Walk
They encounter one more treatment.
They leave with a smile
And as sense of contentment
For one more day they’ve run that long mile and Won!

The verses in this song are in 7/4
The chorus are in 4/4

Courage

This song is based on a poem by my late Aunt Pat Brandstetter.  Here is the original poem:

A Lovely Lady
(June 17, 2015)

Virginia is a very lovely lady.
She sings beautifully,
She leads others in song gracefully.
She exercises thoroughly.
She guides others gently.
She is on the go constantly.
She plays many games happily.
She always smiles beautifully.
She spreads her love of life joyfully.
If you know Virginia, you lover her truly.

Happy Birthday, Virginia

A Lovely Lady

This is a song on which I sing and play pedal steel guitar.  The song is based on a poem by my late aunt:  Pat Brandstetter.  Here is here original poem:

Riding Along
(1994)

Riding along in the car,
Beauty abounds
Wherever you are.
A kaleidoscope of trees 
Tall and green,
A patchwork of 
Lakes large and serene.
The animals look so strong 
And proud from afar.
All this beauty you take in
Riding along in a car.


Riding Along

Thagomizer

Verse 1:
Yes it seems such a shame
The stegosaurus tail had no name

So the scientists they did it
They used the joke and admit it

Chorus:
So it became the thagomizer

Verse 2:

The name became a chorus
For the spikes of the stegosaurus

Named after a joke on the Far Side
And that isn’t the dark side

Chorus:

Verse 3:
Yes Paleobiology has the thagomizer
It came on the scene like a geyser

Proof that scientists have a some humor
Even those that are baby boomer(s)

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.  You will find this music rougher and not as polished as the music I place elsewhere.  This is where I will host music with a more wooden feel.  As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.

I encourage you to visit the sites of the musicians with whom I have collaborated on this page:

The ProgRockDan1 site was taken down by SoundCloud. It was located here:
https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
