Wow - that woke me up!  Fantastic lyric writing Ryan - and your take-no-prisoners vocal performance is superb.

Very cool. Love the voice and guitars. Great! 👏

When I Have Gone

Sean Sweeney: Production, drums and lead guitar
Adrian Filangi: Bass

Hitchhiked through a southern town
Thought my luck might turn around
If I start talking like I'm someone else

Feet first yeah I'm sure of that
I've thought too much for this to pass
Now I'm walking like I'm someone else

Can anybody hear my words
I'm rambling like I've lost my dearest friend today
I'm talking like I'm over you

Talking like I'm up
But really down today
So which one of you wants to be let down today
Acting like I'm up but you'll be down
When I have gone

Dropped off somewhere down the road
Another town to wander on
Thinking like I'm someone else

This part brings to much pain, feels in vain
But here we go again
Acting like I'm someone else

Can anybody hear my words
I'm rambling like I've lost my dearest friend today
I'm talking like I'm over you

Talking like I'm up
But really down today
So which one of you wants to be let down today
Talking like I'm up but really down today
Talking like I'm up but really down today
Acting like I'm up but you'll be down
When I have gone

Can anybody hear my words
I'm rambling like I've lost my dearest friend today
I'm talking like I'm over you

Talking like I'm up
But really down today
So which one of you wants to be let down today
Talking like I'm up but really down today
Talking like I'm up but really down today
Acting like I'm up but you'll be down
When I have gone

When I Have Gone

We transmogrified "Sojourn In the Holo-Desert" with our Tesla spirit radio connected to a haunted grandfather clock.  Music video: https://youtu.be/5LsMKfYpqMo

Here's the original version of "Sojourn In the Holo-Desert": https://soundcloud.com/grevusanjl/sojourn-in-the-holo-desert-kaerian-grevusanjl

Sojourn In The Holo-Desert - Neons Gone Mad remix

This Is from the open collab Solstice Funk https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych/solstice-funk by Llanpsych https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych. Thanks Tez!
I added a funky bass, using my trusty Peavey bass and some manipulated vocal samples from my favourite James Brown song. 
I am sometimes amazed at the technology that we have at our fingertips these days. 
The music is all Llanpsych and myself. The vocal is all Mr Brown with a bit of editing.

Get Up Offa That Solstice Funk (based on Llanpsych track Solstice Funk)

Lyrics :
Off we go
into the unknown
(just sit back and)

Watch the show
hold your own

The place's we'll go
the seeds that we sew

Oh the places we'll go
the faces we'll know

Time rolls on
we are the song
(come on let's have)

Have some fun
while you're young
(comes on let's go)

Oh the places we'll go
the seeds that we sew

Oh the places we'll go
the faces we'll know
(come on let's go)

Oh, The Places We'll Go ☀️  (Keri Johnson . Prod pb)

Half Time

Sure got cold after the rain fell

Something more traditional/folksy I've been chipping away at for a bit, struggling to flesh it out with more instrumentation. However, the more I listen to its currently bare-cupboard, acoustic vocals+piano arrangement, maybe it's simply *meant* to remain rough and rudimentary?

So please pay no attention to the little finger flubs here and there, and just let yourself get washed over by the orange waves of the Northumberland Strait, where I grew up and where my childish heart still beats.

***

Orange waves crash then go
Stealing sand with its ebb and flow
Holes dotting cliffsides' red clay
Where the swallows sleeping lay

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

Island smiles from across the way
Thin dark line splits Strait and sky
It flickers ghostly, hovers fey
Once Ile Saint-Jean, now PEI

Each flat stone we throw from the beach
With dreams to skip, perhaps to fly
All doomed to sink, the island never reached
Drowning jealous of the driftwood swimming by

As full moon flirts with blushing tide
Salt waters sink and sandbars swell
Before they change their minds and hide
I take their path to Mount Carmel

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
Trois-Ruisseaux

Orange Waves (acoustic rough)

We can stop this Lunatic series, NO MORE

Unsere Spielzeugautos  (Afrobeat Remix)

Back of the bar, same old seat,
Halfway through a drink that’s bitter-sweet.
Smoke in the room, jukebox low,
She looked my way like, “boy, let’s go.”
Tight blue jeans and a smile that wins,
She leaned on in and I gave in…
No promises—
…just a little heat tonight.
She ain’t talkin’ forever,
She just wants a little fun.
No rules, no ties,
Just some shots and a midnight run.
If last call’s comin’, then last call’s mine,
I’ll stay right here with her one more time.
Kiss her like I mean it though I know it won’t last,
Hold her like I’ll miss her when the moment’s past.
If she’s just a dance on a Saturday night—
Turn it up loud, let it feel right.
Yeah, I know it fades come morning light…
But if last call’s comin’, then last call’s mine.
Whiskey on her lips, movin’ with the song,
I knew from the start it wouldn’t last long.
One slow dance, that’s all it took—
She ain’t the type to get tied or hooked.
But man it feels good holdin’ her near,
Even if she’s gone when the night clears…
No tomorrow—
…just right now.
No lies, no vows,
Just the way it feels tonight.
And I’d do it all again,
Even knowin’ she won’t stay.
If last call’s comin’, then last call’s mine,
I’ll stay right here with her one more time.
Kiss her like I mean it though I know it won’t last,
Hold her like I’ll miss her when the moment’s past.
If she’s just a dance on a Saturday night—
Turn it up loud, let it feel right.
Yeah, I know it fades come morning light…
But if last call’s comin’, then last call’s mine.
One more drink, one last song,
Her perfume’s still hangin’ on.
This ain’t love, we both know—
But it feels too good to let it go.
If last call’s comin’, then last call’s mine,
I’ll stay right here with her one more time.
Kiss her like I mean it though I know it won’t last,
Hold her like I’ll miss her when the moment’s past.
If she’s just a spark in the midnight air—
I’ll take tonight, I don’t care.
Yeah, I know it fades come morning light…
But if last call’s comin’, then last call’s—
…it’s mine.
