large multiheaded sand demons popping out of the dunes, this is rated R and wickedly cool

Very cool, deep groove. Love the vocal textures and guitars

That beat with the electro piano chords is totally great. The big and loud thing is -- well -- big and loud. You can call yourself a made man if you have 12 guitars :-) sounds great, grooves on, Rekha love your vocals!

I'm crazy bout your guitars...awesome track...is that me??? Wow-Wee XOXOXO

This is an ever-changing playlist of my favorite songs and/or artists peppered all over the SCloud at a given moment. 

The list is loosely sequenced in order of favorites, but every single one of these tracks and artists generates within me a tremendous and equal amount of aural joy, keeping me (mostly) sane whether at home or work.   :D

Current faves found thru SCloud that I can't stop replaying...

The ancient mystery about Men & Women, still trying to figure each other out!

Good luck w that xD

New & Different

This song is best ingested in conjunction with its symbiotic Music Video as part of a complete breakfast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02yvaKW0YiM

"My oh my" is what You say
when the strifes of life at last give way
to a moment with a slow decay
where freedom sings its soft hooray

This song was inspired by a journey I took, a process of discovery and healing, of hope and vigilance, of pain and sweet empowerment, and of freedom! The journey never ends (it goes on and on and on and on!! hehehe)

The song is dedicated to my Myo guide, Jessica, who inspired me, educated me, aided me, and encouraged me with tenacious tact and outstanding optimism. Thank You so so much Jessica! :) This video contains a few servings of my current levels of joy and liberation thanks to You hahahah

Within the lyrics are many wink-winks and nudge-nudges for any Myologists out there, or any fellow Myofunctional journeyers and tongue-tied alums. ;)

Let this also be a gentle advocation for myofunctional therapy for anyone who it may benefit, and a solid recommendation to contact Jessica at https://www.opusom.com/ if You do decide to tread that path.

A few production notes, the drum kit is entirely comprised of samples I recorded of my own mouth-sounds, a tedious process, but I've always wanted to try it and this song presented the perfect thematic opportunity!
For longtime fans, the video features some old familiar faces, Loveman (from the 'Let Me Love You' video) and Funkman (from 'In A Funk' fame), they were more than pleased to join me in singing and dancing to this track!
And lastly, this has been my first attempt at such sneaky video editing techniques, it was quite marvellously fun and edifying to spend some time and effort creating and learning new techniques :D

Thank You to family, friends, fans, and all who support and encourage my creativity,

May this song represent a morsel of my(o) Love for You

<3

Lyrics:

//

For anybody feeling weak, (So damn tired)
Getting tired of losing sleep, (We've tried)
There's no use in grinded teeth, (Go take five)
Lets put our tongues up in our cheeks (For a while)

My oh my
say goodbye
to all ties
That been holdin us down
Myo Myo My
We could float into the sky
Make our way where the birds fly
Bound for the unbound
myoymyoymyoymyoo
clip the string on the yoyo
let it spin let it go for a roll
From the floor to the rooftop
mymymymymomyomoymoyoo
Open up and let the tongue grow
Big smile let the gum show
yeah, that hits the spot

We're losing air far from our peaks, (Deprived)
But I heard about a cave where we can breathe (Let's get inside)
Right beneath our nose, too close to speak it (We a little shy)
We seal our lips closed like it's our little secret (And we smile)

Myo Myo My,
Say Goodbye,
To all ties
From the floor to the rooftop
Myo Myo My,
We could float into the sky,
Make our way where the birds fly,
Yeah, that's the spot.

We climb high finding the sweet-eet-eet spot
We fly by smiling at used rooftops

//

xoxo

“Silas”

Silas
While you were sleeping last night
I had a vision
So real I shook with fright
My room was a prison
Whose key was lost in my mind
I searched all, blindly
But felt nothing to find

How can I convey to you
What came to me immediately
When reason and words defy
If I were you, I’d doubt it, too
But it was no dream or fantasy
I saw it true as I do you
About this I’d never lie

Silas
Can’t you believe me, my friend
I am no zealot
Nor are my wits at their end
There came a sheriff
Whose open mouth shone a light
He lit inside me
And I saw him the Christ

How can I convey to you
What came to me immediately
When reason and words defy
You say my mind has become skewed
But such is said too easily
Harder to accept the truth
From across the great divide

He set me free
He is the key
He came to me
He heard my plea / He is alive

How can I convey to you
What came to me immediately
When reason and words defy
Would my joy could pass to you
But it came to me unwantedly
I resisted like a restless fool
But he’s changed my very mind

PATERNITY


if you’re going down
down onto the sea
don’t leave without me


boarded up the house
threw away the keys
blown down to my knees


once we lived as a family
splendid circle of three


fifth of bourbon won’t
kill the memories
what you meant to me


memory of a family
partner, kiddo and me:
rocky beach and light house beam
counting rabbits in sunset dream


once we lived as a family
splendid circle of three


if you’re going down
down into the mud
don’t leave without me

“Time” original lyrics and vocal performance by the amazing Aya Hall @ayadove

Time (Featuring Aya Hall)

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.

Minor Exotica (Turned To Black)

This one is kind of an experimental deal.  The main riff has 12 guitars, each with something different about it.  Each of the 12 lines was played on a different guitar.  Some are tuned in octaves to the others, some from a mic'd amp, some from sims etc.. 
I wasn't going for a tight doubled guitar sound like you normally want, I wanted the sound of a dozen guitars sounding like a big loud thing.  
The beat for this comes from one of my friend's son, Zack, who is new to all of this and is just learning his DAW at age 19 and this was written on top of his beat so thanks Zack!
Also big thanks to Stonerjazz for the title and to Rekha for the amazing background vocal in this!

The signal that calls me is a sign of invitation from her. Passing through the gates of dangerous love is the beginning of anguish.

Her Morse code is a one-night-only sweet temptation.（226)

This is a song that was written by the very talented Artur (Surfers Like Us), who is a surf rock master, and delivered to us in the form of a guitar track. Josh (Entheogenic Psychonaught) enjoyed adding the psychedelic, yet foundational four string fretless bass. Ken (K2 and the Three and K2 and the Four) boosted the energy level of the song when he blew our minds with his driving drums. JJ (J.J. Terrell) added the wild, dynamic organ you hear throughout. Tez (Llanpsych) brought lightning down from the sky in the solo over the third section. And last, but certainly not least, Stephen (TexMex Shaman) laid down the mind-bending guitar solos over the first two sections. He also produced and mixed it, with a little help from Ken. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as our Eclectic Collective enjoyed making it.

A Time Race (Surfers Like Us, EP Josh Clary, K2 and the Three, Llanpsych, TexMex Shaman, JJ Terrell)

Emotional stratosphere

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us–@user-411502040–Artur–songwriting, foundational rhythm guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
 This is a song that Artur wrote in his unique, original, and signature surf rock style, and passed it on to Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  I asked Artur the meaning of the song's title, and he told me that it refers to the soulmate some people find, who can carry you through anything, even if you or they may be a little crazy. It's about crazy love!
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series
