When I saw the picture I expected a real heavy punk or metal song.... but I got awesome folk song. I like the emotion in guitars and vocals both.

Back to re-enjoy this great performance...

Beautifully written song Todd, lovely vocal and overall production!

Great song, reminds me of those classic 60s songwriters. Excellent

loving the warmth and innocence in your sound

Great lyrics! Nice vocal harmonies in just the right spots 👌🏻

Super !  Great warm voice et nice sweet guitar

beautiful tune, excellent vocals, it's got a great pace and rhythm

In his final days,my father vividly saw things which obviously weren't there. He was otherwise sound of mind,so this was very odd. That's when I found out about Charles Bonnet syndrome.

Charles Bonnet syndrome causes a person whose vision has started to deteriorate to see things that aren't real.

The hallucinations may be simple patterns, or detailed images of events, people or places.

They're only visual and don't involve hearing things or any other sensations.

It's important to be aware that hallucinations associated with Charles Bonnet syndrome are caused by failing eyesight. They're not caused by a mental health problem or dementia.

People with Charles Bonnet syndrome are usually aware that the visions aren't real, even if they're vivid.
There are 2 main types of hallucination that people with Charles Bonnet syndrome tend to experience.

They may see:

simple repeated patterns
complex images of people, objects or landscapes
Simple repeated patterns can take the form of grids, shapes or lines, which can appear in bright or vivid colours. The patterns may lay across or cover everything the person sees.

More complex hallucinations can involve people, places, animals and insects.


There's a great big dog
Outside my window
Why he's alone,I really don't know
I can see him there
Plain as the day

There's a small bird there
On my windowsill
If you look really hard
He's there still
I can see him there
Plain as the day

I think they're trying to kill me
But I don't really mind
I long to be free
To be unconfined
I can see it now
Plain as the day

I see myself with your mother
On a golden afternoon
No wheelchair to roll me
My legs still below me
I hope it happens soon

Are you a fixed star of unknown location
Strumming a particle guitar celestial creation
Are you the beat of a solar storm, travelling earthbound
Of elemental form worshipping sun dog
To the sounds of the whistling sun

Strumming a particle guitar

Are you a shooting star
In an absent moon sky
Dancing past Jupiter and Mars
Through a billion and one stars
Are you the s e e ds of a 
Cosmic explosion
The pulsing beat 
Of a supernova

Strumming a particle guitar
Whistling son, is that you I hear?
Son? Is that you?
Strumming a particle guitar

All is Fair

You won’t take a chance and
due to circumstances
keep the color well within the lines

how come you don’t care and
Won’t be made aware and 
stick with birds of familiar hue

Can’t you see
It’s killin me…

You don’t lend a hand and
cannot comprehend when
It ain’t jumpin off your tv screen

Like a crow without wings
You cannot believe things
If it ain’t standing right in front of you

Don’t you see
It’s killin me…

On and on…
You sing your song
Won’t be long
until it’s gone

All is fair
In love and tears
Hold on tight
Through the years…

Times they come and they go 
Many things we don’t know
Wipe the mist from the camera lens

Fear still grips so tight and
Keeps us up at night then
Builds a wall made of razor wire

I can see
We won’t be free…

All Is Fair

Not much I can do about the tragic events in Ukraine. I've decided that the aggressors can't appropriate the Z, so I'm taking it back in this metaphorical musical battle.

This is a tweaked master (for some of you this may be basics). I moved both the organ and vocal noisegate from last to first in the effects chain. This allows the effects such as delay to work and sound as intended. Also tried a saturator on the lead "high" vocal to make it stand out more in the mix. You will all let me know if this worked (it is most noticeable at the end where you can hear the organ fade out with the planned delay). On a side-note if anybody is interested in how the "sucking" effect is achieved on the drums it is using a combination of regular and reverse reverb. 

TAKING BACK THE Z

I’m taking back the Z
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
It’s not white 
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
U

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll move from place to place
I’ll zig and I’ll zag
I’ll duck and I’ll hide
I’ll stay alive
I can’t let go, no

I’ll weave and I’ll bob
Be a thorn in your side
I’ll run and I’ll jump
No river’s too wide
I can’t let go, no

I’m taking back the Z
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s not white
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
Yellow and blue

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll beg and I’ll pray, 
Turn every stone
I’ll rant and I’ll rave
I’ll never rest
I can’t let go, no

I’ll be your worst nightmare
No matter your might
Be your worst nightmare 
Both day & night
I can’t let go, no

It’s all mine…

Variations on a theme of:
Mountain-songs – Best-of-both-worlds-by-cripple-club-hans-albers

Working with Hans Albers is the gift that goes on giving.  We’ve known Hans pretty much since we started on SoundCloud and not only is he one of the most gifted musicians we’ve had the good fortune to run across (not to mention his arranging and producing skills) but also as nice a person as one could wish to know.

Whenever we send him a demo, our mantra is always “His arrangement won’t be at all what we’re expecting…it’ll be so much better than that”.  Invariably, we are correct in that assumption.  Very often, it doesn’t just end there, though.  Just when we think we’ve already got the best version possible, another idea will occur in that endlessly creative brain of his and he’ll send along some amazing variation.  

He’ll always say “It’s just for fun!” but it will always be brilliant and will always cause us to ask which would be the best one to post.  Occasionally, though, the additional version is so different from the first that it demands to be posted as a stand-alone track.  Such was the case with this, so we hope you’ll allow us the small indulgence of posting the same thing again, albeit in a totally new livery.  We’ll quite understand if folks decide not to listen as it is entirely the same song, albeit arranged in a totally different style.

Should you decide to stop and listen, hope you’ll see why we felt the need to post this wonderfully executed innovation.  Thanks so much for listening.  (Gary & Terry Reeves)

Yes I drank the bottle dry
Please don't ask the question why
Just accept this drunken man
Drinking for another plan

Couldn't take things in my stride
Second place it hurt my pride
Told to take some time to think
Think I'll have another drink

Yes I drank the bottle dry
Please don't ask the question why
Just accept this drunken man
Drinking for another plan

Couldn't take things in my stride
Second place it hurt my pride
Told to take some time to think
Think I'll have another drink

Don't you think it's time to put your shiny toys away?

Riding the Tiger

looking outside my window I see the rain coming down
don't wanna let this stuff get to me dammit no not right now

there's got to be some kind of misunderstanding
we're all in need of a bright sunny day
I'll admit it just might sound a bit demanding 
but don't you think it's time to put your shiny toys away

riding the tiger we know not to ever let go
but tonight while we wonder the beast is out there on its own

is this the worst of times or just the constant state of humankind
you know Heraclitus and the Mayans said we're bound to make the same mistakes
all over and over again
(but I do want to be on the good side)

someone is waiting her eyes are the death of winter
I still can't explain it but tonight I know that we last forever

she left a note and said the worst is almost over
the medication on the table should be all that you need
remember to include me in your prayers
we're all subject to the forces of entropy
