“The return of the mystics for the awakening of human consciousness”.

“Even times of oppression are worthy of respect, for they are the work, not of men, but of humanity, and therefore of creative nature, which can be harsh, but is never absurd. If the times we live in are harsh, we have the duty to love it even more, to penetrate it with our love, until we have removed the enormous mountains that hide the light beyond them”. (Walter Rathenau)

Thinking

The Thing in my Head Smiled

24 2 8

I have written so many songs that focus on the negative aspects of one's life that I thought I should probably try to gradually increase the positivity with each song from now until either I feel I have reached a positive plateau or I get so sick from the sunshine I'm pumping that I have to stop before I literally die a horrendous bloody guts on the ceiling death. I'll pass on that, wouldn't mind seeing the crime scene pics though... SO LET'S ROCK!! GENTLY THOUGH ❤️🤟

Starting over (written and performed by Jess Johnson Music by Bonnierogerr)

First, they charm you, promise you a rose garden, a castle in the sky. You stumble, you fall. The breakdown begins: gaslighting, fear-mongering, isolation, abuse. And the beating. You know you should run. But you're alone, afraid dependent, and torn. Not everyone gets away. But this one did.

NARCISSIST

A relationship song.  A song with symbolism, innuendo and up for personal interpretation.  This song is about trying to hang onto the things that matter and letting go of what doesn’t.  Fix what's worth fixing, don't walk away and brush it off as 'C'est la vie'.    We need to feel comfortable in any relationship.  Things sometimes come to us easy but can also be easily lost.  It’s important to take a step back during these experiences and take it all in, do an emotional inventory and change along the way.  If you've made the effort and it didn't happen then... easy come, easy go.

EASY COME, EASY GO

-------------  

The morning sun wakes them.
Looking out their window at the day.
Summer isn't here to stay.

There's always someone 
hoping and believing.
Someone always looking in vain,
trying to make their pain go away.

Easy come and we all know,
we need to take a step back, 
and take it all in.

I just want to be me.
  
Eat, drink and be merry
this may be your last meal.
The leaves have turned,
the colours are such a big deal.

Chances pass, fleeting opportunity.
Hindsight should not be regret.
Just make a mental note and move on
before you're dead.

Easy come, easy go. 
we need to take a step back, 
and take it all in.

Easy Come Easy Go

Hello, beautiful people of Soundcloud

Here's yet another interpretation of this blues gem, a blend of several versions of this song that I adore.

Death Letter Blues

Elves & Warlocks

Deleted scenes, momentary gods, dreamless sleep
I don’t believe what’s true 
I don’t know what’s true
I just believe what I hear most often
It’s the storm that clears the noise
It’s the storm that clears the noise
But I’m not the storm 
I am the sky
No, I’m not the storm 
I am the sky
Whispers shape worlds
Whispers shape minds
Whispers shape worlds
As the future unwinds
Lonely nights, weary world, hear the cities symphony, 
The more I walk a path the more visible it becomes
But If I don’t change direction, I may end up where I’m going
It’s the storm that clears the noise
But I’m not the storm 
I am the sky
No, I’m not the storm 
I am the sky
It’s the storm that clears the noise
But I’m not the storm 
I am the sky

It's the Storm that Clears the Noise

the ignorant savants is the musing of Byron Haskins, a self-educated creator of informal compositions, interpretive covers and other musical abstractions. It is a Third Act, informed by the first two - applied psychology and political activism. You may find automated music sequences but no artificial intelligence. You should USE HEADPHONES for the best sound as GarageBand is pressed to it's known limits. Also find rotating playlists featuring other creators. If we get only $2.50 per 1k plays here, you must know that hanging here means love, not lu$t.
