Good Old Days

We all got them, some just can’t be seen……………cheers for having a listen


A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

There’s another side to me
That you don’t really know
But if you look real hard
There’s a story to be told

And if it’s not what you wanna see
You can look away
They’re always gonna be there
My scars are here to stay

They been years in the making
Star of their own show
I can’t ask them to leave
Like me they got nowhere to go

A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

My Scars

Based on a collaboration of Indii Wild Moon and Nathaniel Ehrnman found here:

Blue September

There are many versions and different traditions of the story of the Magi and about their journey. And about their origin. Pictured on the cover is a drawing found in the 'Catalan Atlas,' a map of the world dated to the late 14th century. Pictured here are the three kings. The caption reads: “This province is called Tarshish, from which came the Three Wise Kings, and they came to Bethlehem in Judaea with their gifts and worshipped Jesus Christ, and they are entombed in the city of Cologne two days journey from Bruges.”
But where was the city (or the country) called Tarshish (Tarsis, Tharsis), whose king was already mentioned in Psalm 72?
No one, exactly, knows.

I recorded the guitar part in 2018, when bought a Guild (my Washburn had become mute ...), so the track has a lot of noise and imperfections. Then there were several attempts to organize the piece and arrange it. This could be the last one. It came rather long and slow. But long and slow was also that improbable (and hardly true) journey - perhaps one could imagine it by closing the eyes and listening to the music.

El Árbol del Fuego - Acoustic

Our first attempt at a folk-rock epic. This was a lot of fun to write and record - it represents the warm front where our musical influences and what we individually bring to songwriting meet straight down the middle.
Influences for this one include: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Low, Fleetwood Mac, American Analog Set and others. Hope you enjoy! 🎸🎻🤘🏽

Repentance

Repentance (We Plead For Mercy)

a remake I did last night of a classic song

LAST KISS (COVER/REMAKE)

Teamed up again with my amazingly talented friend Mahan💀Mahan who did all the orchestration and engineering on this Song--
Lyric and vocals by Stonerjazz

The captain and his crew
were weeping as they knelt
upon the steps., outside the palace foyer
Righteous warriors every single one

Reflections of the sun
children of the other
the protectors of the mother
humble in their confidence of failure
unaffected by the outcome
broken hearted with the truth
grieving for their youth

And yet their heads held high
fighting tiny battles
in anticipation of something Better

its the inner not the outer
its the quiet not the shouter
its the powder not the pistol
its the battle not the score
its the boatman on the water
and the sparkle on the river
and the distant glimmer from the shore...

Captain And His Crew With Mahan💀Mahan

LYRICS
I dreamed someone was waiting
On the platform when I got there
I rubbed some dirt from off my shoes
Put a comb through my hair

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

I looked around but nothing had changed
It was the same
No cheering crowds no shaken hands
No hero's back again

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

Instrumental

But no welcome home
So good to see you again
And I was alone
In the rain

Outro

The Hero's Return

Lyrics

New merged blue
Building light from true
'Boldest ambient
Ever ready sambo sound
Nightime comes to seed
Aurora musical feed
All access sips of soul
Underverse and all
Kinetic core of creed
Two timed souls turn to tease
Industry of tone
Insane makes sane from song
Two rhymed rolled rhythms be
Free for fine tuned to happy
Annoint the light
Universal right
Love is living loose
Nurtured selves we soothe
Drinks got thc
Eat me some cbd


For possible collab

Idea is to alternate singing the lines referring to each of our artist names

Note: Lyrics are built on our artist names written down the side. For that reason sense is found in each line but possibly not so much in the lyrics as a whole. I'm cool with that...

The alternating vocals I think will work best in unison towards the end of phrases

Tempo of 71 BPM tapped out from NB Nikita first uploadnon SC ro have a cool realm random connection without any originality encroachment. 
Love robbing tempos! I recommend not listening to the tune you are taking the tempo from if you can... It's clean as a whistle and a nice link made anyways

🎧......🎧 = DJ Shadow Lyrics taken from the song Building Steam with a Grain of Salt (Album: Introducing) Piano samples recreated from this also. This track is NOT monetised

Lyrics

🎧From listening to records i just knew what to do
I mainly taught myself
And, you know, i did pretty well
Except there were a few mistakes
But um, that i made, uh
That i've just recently cleared up

And i'd like to just continue to be able to express myself
As best as i can with this instrument
And i feel like i have a lot of work to do
Still, i'm a student - of the drums
And i'm also a teacher of the drums too🎧

🎧What makes cancer tenacious?
The moon rules the fluids
Including the inner juices of human beings
That which assimilates and feeds the body
So the crab feeds his astral plane
Assimilating and distributing all he receives
Slowly, until it becomes a part of him🎧

Annoint the light
Universal right
Love is living loose
Nurtured selves we soothe

As Light were clean
Life is serene
As the light we've seen a dream
Serene and clean
Like now is seen
Scene to scene to scene to scene
Life the dream
Mind makes serene
Observer clean

🎧And i would like to able to continue
To let what is inside of me
Which is, which comes from all the music that i hear
I would like for that to come out
And it's like, it's not really me that's coming
The music's coming through me
The music's coming through me🎧

= Scratch Kelly & TBD
My first band in 20 years haha. Schweeeet! TBD is a band already in my head but this is an actual band🤘🏽


Dear Universe. Please being peace to planet Earth 🙏🏽 Thanks Universe ✅


Thanks a centillion for ALL the support. I love you all for helping me in so many ways with what I've loved doing for 38 years, making music. This is a human made list of life dives. I'd happily explain any process to you if you wish or are wondering something about TBD. Just ask, I'm Carl and I love sharing what I've discovered and learned especially in the songs themselves. I see songs as one of the finest ways to learn something and bolt your truth to on any subject in a direct yet maybe less imposing manner as your singing it and making it mellifluous. It's hard to sing what you feel is a lie so in my view writing truly honest lyrics and making them songs can be a mini thesis for you on any subject.

No AI here... AI creativity insults my entire existence and the memory of all the dead artists that got their amazing work plagiarised to build current LLMs. I actually hope we legislate to fix that in the future if possible. Delete it and start again in my view. Building an Artificial Intelligence on stealing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Very clever! I'll stick with my actual intelligence thank you very much!
I do respect there are positive applications using AI music and in the future they will hopefully grow to being great for humanity. Right now though I believe there's a responsibility for artists to paint how humans make this world of music so generations that will only experience the world with AI music have a proper reference to retain and grow with. It's a fight for the soul of art until the soul of art is saved. Then we can utilise AI creativity more in my opinion but we have to make it an environment that doesn't wipe out individual evolution evolving music like they have done. A machine doing it for you is more matrix then artist. 

I had actually collaborated with a couple of AI artists and naively excepted them at face value. I nuked those songs though even though I made them very real... No thanks don't want to spread any of that shit! If you noticed this and saw me as a hypocrite I don't blame you but unfortunately that's the fake vs real guess world we are starting to need to navigate at the moment! It has made me overly protectionist about who to embrace!

Something needs to change fast. I've decided to stop following obvious AI accounts and I'm sorry if we have built up a relationship but it's a battle so... and it's not ok the current status quo... and every AI account that.doesnt lay bare what it is you are creating the problem so I can't support you any more and I don't mind if you stop spreading my music either. Thanks human to human but not with AI music as the medium thanks very much!

My shorterm plan is to start making a method to audit a SoundCloud profile as a reference to make it easier to avoid more AI typists. The more we avoid them the more we take the algorithm away from them. So in my view that's the tactic... We drive them all into a corner so they can digitally  pee all over each other and we can listen and share music. Hopefully culturally it will evolve more thoughtfully and we can come back to it and maybe even embrace it in cool creative ways. But it cannot in my view be allowed become the shortcut to result that kids get inspired by and don't bother learning music. That will limit the wiring of their brains and it's probably true to say overall health because of that.

Thanks a million for spending the time to read my bio... It changes like the wind. I feel a little bit sorry for you 😆 But I loooooove SoundCloud and I love getting upgraded off all the geniuses here so feel free to poke me anytime and I'll poke you back with my ears and honest opinion ❤️‍🔥 (and probably point out why you're better then AI 🕺🏽)
