come take My hand
You should know Me
I've always been in Your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding You

building Your dream
has to start now
there's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding You

-

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive
destiny will arrive

and bring all Your dreams alive
for You

-

from where I stand
You are home free
the planets align -- it's so rare
there's promise in the air
and I'm guiding You

through every turn
I'll be near You
I'll come every time You call
I'll catch You when Ya fall
I'll be guiding You

-

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way
have to believe We are magic
don't let Your aim ever stray

and if all Your hopes survive
destiny will arrive

and bring all Your dreams alive
for You

and bring all Your dreams to life
for You

Ya have to believe We are magic
nothing can stand in Our way

don't let Your aim ever stray

"Magic" [a "XANADU" cover] (originally Olivia Newton-John) [2022 REMASTER] - Michael Ash Sharbaugh

Collection of fun eurorack modules, synths and piano.

Trees Are Gone

an unusual blues scheme invites me to improvise on the piano, guitar and organ
listen and have fun with the little melody
thank you for coming around :)

Waterfall-Blues

Love the vibe and lyrics of this song from Yo La Tengo.  Somehow the mixing of genres and some craziness all works to make song that somehow feels peaceful

Lyrics:

New World Order knows what's best for you
YouTube feed knows what you need
Shares and Likes the new worlds currency 
Did you figure it out? That It all means nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

New vaccines made from spiked protein
Ministry of Truth decides what's real
Mask mandates keep your family safe
Did you figure it out? You all mean nothing!!

I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!
I never thought the world would ever end!!
Now machines decide what's on my mind!!

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL THE WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD
WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL YOUR WORLD

WE USED FEAR TO CONTROL OUR WORLD!!

At Worlds End

let it destroy itself

Something Strange is the opening track on meka's new album The Rabbit.

American folk artist meka delivers a hauntingly poetic tribute to the archetype of the hag—an ode to forgotten power, feminine chaos, and the flickering persistence of hope. With stripped-back acoustic textures and evocative storytelling, this standout track from her album The Rabbit channels the spirit of myth and mischief, casting a spell that lingers long after the last note. For fans of Adrianne Lenker, Joanna Newsom, and Alela Diane, meka is a voice that demands quiet and rewards deep listening.

meka's new album THE RABBIT was released by Dumont Dumont

// LYRICS //

I feel a spell on me
Where is the magic
All this sorcery
seems like a bad trick
I feel a spell on me
but there is no magic
in all this sorcery

All codes cracked
My brain's been picked
Tech billionaires
fell in love with it
Take a look around
Nobody's bored anymore

In this smokey house
(Uuh who's burning out)
Flames creeping up from the floor
(Fire on the roof)
Who's gonna be around
(Who's gonna put it out)
when nobody's bored anymore

I feel a spell on me
Where is the magic
All this sorcery
seems like a bad trick
I feel a spell on me
but there is no magic
in all this sorcery

All codes cracked
Your brain's been picked
Tech billionaires
fell in love with it
Turn the clocks around
Nobody's bored anymore

In this broken house
(Who's gonna break it down)
Water's pushing in every door
(fire on the roof)
Who's gonna check it out
(Who's gonna be around)
when nobody's bored anymore

Nobody's bored anymore
Nobody's bored
nobody's bored anymore
Nobody's bored anymore

Nobody's Bored Anymore

the PERSON, the SOUND : Since 1985, Philadelphia-born Michael has composed and released hundreds of audio recordings, and published dozens of [erotic] poems.

His 'sonic-sojourn' began suddenly when he was just a teen -- feet splashing rhythmically through puddles leftover by a seaside rainstorm. Having just parted ways with the then-love-of-his-life, Michael composed his first ballad [and first song] ever -- "Tina." He rushed to his beach-side home to record his visceral 'awakening' on a tiny micro-cassette recorder, and vowed -- from that day on -- to create art for the rest of his life.

He began zealously amassing used music equipment, and had built a modest home recording studio by age seventeen, all the while crafting simple pop, ambient, and experimental works that HE had wanted to listen to -- that HE had wanted to hear, affectionately emulating the works of his then-idols, Duran Duran and Brian Eno.

Now, decades later, he has relocated to a small village outside Atlanta, Georgia, and continues to voraciously attend to his dream as a young, heartbroken boy -- to create and release music that he, himself, wants to hear.

Although no longer sequestered to pop and ambient musics, Michael's signature sound has merged the two, having integrated the R&B, hiphop, and psychedelia he has grown to love as a older gent -- having absorbed the edgy rhythms and dreamy soul of the southern United States (Atlanta and Miami).

Michael still puts forth ample amounts af ambient musics, but his recent 'sound' hovers elsewhere -- somewhere amidst the genres of vaportrap, spacerock, and trip-hop.
