Almost sounds like bees! Very creative soundscape.

Better Smile 

Well I've doom scrolled enough 
I'm heading out into the sun 
Gonna smile along with the world 
Like I'm living in a Rom-com 
Like I'm living in a Rom-com 

Did the best I could 
With the headwinds cutting me off 
And though I know I should 
I'm still not giving it up 
I'm still not giving it up 

For what it's worth 
You're only here on earth 
You're only here on earth for a while 
Better smile 

Time to wear the crown 
I forgot I even had 
Got to re-stoke the fire 
Start it all over again 
Start it all over again 

Done some sketchy things 
I know I'm gonna pay 
But I've done some good 
A little more every day 
A little more every day 

For what it's worth 
You're only here on earth 
You're only here on earth for a while 
Better smile

Better Smile

In 2021 there were 2,755 billionaires in the world. They are guilty of committing ECOCIDE - yet they continue to choose profit over battling climate change.

Billionaires are the leading cause of climate change. More than 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies as stated by the Carbon Majors Report.

Amazon alone emitted 61 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 - the equivalent of 16 coal-burning power plants running for a year.

Some of America’s most prominent companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Disney are backing business and lobbying groups that are fighting landmark climate legislation despite their promises to combat the climate crisis.

Time is running short - THERE IS NO PLANET B


                             Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Billionaires are destroying the planet
just so they can make a profit
pollution is killing Dear Mother Nature
melting - wiping out all our glaciers.

CHORUS
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan.

Heat waves are killing more and more people
we keep on burning more and more diesel
you don't have to be a rocket scientist
to know why fires destroy our forests.
Politicians are climate change deniers
in the meantime, our homes are on fire
the air we breathe smell like hell
thanks to the coal and oil cartels.

CHORUS

MONOLOGUE

Rising sea levels from China to California
causing devastation - Hallelujah
writings on the wall with plastic in our seas
welcome to the world of climate refugees.
Every year when it's hurricane season
the rains and floods are beyond reason
subways flooding thanks to carbon emissions
now our planet is in remission!

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

So start listening to the children
and heed the words of Mr. Bob Dylan
or it's a "Hard Reigns Gonna Fall"
your need for greed will be our downfall.

CHORUS

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Hello dear friends. It's been a long while. We've all been through hell some way or other and I wish you love joy and strength.
It was great having Brian visit us in Durban this past month (the old boy's leaving on Friday). Well while he was here I got him to do some backing vocals. And he was a big help with the mixing as well. Thanks Brian!

Legerdemain - words and music Johnny Minstrel 

Bring out your entertainers
the jugglers and the clowns
We’re in the belly of the beast
as the world shuts down
All is smoke and mirrors
I hear someone say
Living the illusion
till Judgement Day 

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

He’s gonna blow your mind
Mo Magic’s back in town
There’s always something kinder
Whenever he’s around
Today is like tomorrow
Uncertain and unclear
Spill your drink of sorrows
God knows that’s too much beer

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

Well there’s nobody here
Anymore than somebody there
Guess I’ll meet you in the ether
On some dodgy cable line
And if you see me turn the corner
Wave a hello or goodbye
Who knows where I’ll be going
And who I’ll be next time
Who I’ll be next time 

Bring out your entertainers
All the world’s a stage
Just looks a little smaller
In this virtual cage
So, throw in a coin dear missus
I promise you a thrill
Not stealing from the masses
Or teaching how to kill

Oh legerdemain
Too fast for the eye to see and the brain to explain
Oh, oh legerdemain
C’mon baby 
Do that trick again

This round I'm covering a Japanese pop song.
The problem is, I don't know Japanese but I really like the music.
The original was performed by veteran singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga.  
I kind of shifted a little bit towards country pop in my arrangement and added an outro sax for completeness.  Just see what you think.

Apology to my Japanese friends for my probable weird pronunciation.

[LYRICS per Google Translation]
For you
I do not mind staying in my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

Easy eyes are created
I keep silent in that sky
Even if you do not miss a mystery love
Now I can not find a night here

For you 
I'm looking at a dream I have never seen before.
For you
Close your eyes, I love you

As the moment of two people runs out 
the troublesome thing to wear on your body
I can show you through

A desperate thought has risen up in that
All goes on to love as it is

For you
I do not mind having even my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

[ORIGINAL LYRICS]
あなたのために hu hu
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために huhu
透きとおって I love you

やさしい目が 创りだす
その空气に 默り迂む
ミステリーな恋  愉しんでも
探せない夜が いま ここに  

あなたのために huhu
见たことのない 梦を见つめてる 
あなたのために
目を闭じて I Love You

二人になる瞬间へ
走りだして 行くために
身に振りかかる わずらわしさ 
突き拔けてみせる いつ だって 

沸き起こる とりとめない想い
すべて 爱しさへ つづく

あなたのために ya ha
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために ya ha
透きとおって I Love You

For You  (Anata no Tameni)  Cover

Atlanta’s “Bog Witch” and Boise’s “Mystic Tape Deck” announce the release of a new collaborative single, “Dogs of Chernobyl” to mark the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster.

Following the April 26, 1986 nuclear accident, the City of Pripyat was evacuated. The residents were forced to leave their pets (including domestic dogs) behind.  

Nearly 40 years after the accident, the descendants of these dogs are still living in the Exclusion Zone and a study is currently taking place. 

Scientists are sampling the DNA of the dogs. Apparently, their DNA is irregular in some interesting ways.

Wendy writes “I couldn’t sleep one night and picked-up my phone to surf when I noticed an article about the radioactive dogs of Chernobyl.  Right away it seemed like a song.”  

Wendy invited Mystic Tape Deck to collaborate with her in creating the sonic pallet for this song, the proceeds from all sales of which will be donated to the Clean Futures Fund. 

The Clean Futures Fund relies upon donations to provide medical supplies, vaccines, and food for the dogs living in the Exclusion Zone.  

Donate $1 or more to the Clean Futures Fund via Bandcamp and receive a download of the single: https://mystictapedeck.bandcamp.com/track/dogs-of-chernobyl

Atmospheric soundscape of a dystopian future where an algorithm of our making becomes self aware and struggles with it's own identity and emotion.  Is it artificial ... or deja vu?

Deja Vu
