Nada (He pensado en la muerte)

:::   THAT ONE THING   :::

When you first met he couldn't believe what you said!  - No Way!
It's not that often, that he's left with nothing to say!  To say - Touché !!
And who said that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'Cos he gets you
And that's one thing you've never felt before.

Next time you met you were so animated - so great! So great!
He knew in an instant that you'd turn his life round some day. One Day, in some way.
And who says that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'cos he gets you -
And that's one thing you've never felt before!
And with like minds -
Like one kind
That one thing was something after all!

That One Thing

Borderland  - Words & Music: Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

There’s a wire fence running east
Keeping Eden out of bounds
And he speaks unto the least
Like a Sermon on the Mount
And as the living often do
Find a million ways to die
I was born loving you
A truth I still deny

It’s my inheritance they say
A house with many rooms
But I be homeless night and day
Until I’m in the tomb
Behind that solid door
Something else lies in
And when you open up you know
It was the same old thing

Now you and I we learned
That freedom’s golden chains
Caused Paradise to burn
And we both took the blame
Still shaken from the fall
And I can’t get back up
They all are prison walls
Everything I touch

I’m crawling through the sands
To the setting sun
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome
Into the Borderland
Where shadows overcome


Borderland

In the Shadow of the Cross 
Words and Music by Pravinand Maharaj aka Johnny Minstrel

Far away and I can feel
That distant moan inside of me
A darkened window I must be
When the full light of moon is lost
Far away as in a dream
I’m half there and cannot scream
As if behind an iron screen
In the shadow of the cross

Far away and close at hand
Lofty kingdoms in the sand
On the trail the saved and damned
Are overcome by violent force
Far away and faith still grieves
Blessed are they who will not leave
Who have not seen and still believe
In the shadow of the cross

Far away in time and space
Yet so near to touch my face
Still so near my tears to trace
Every time I count the cost
Far away beyond the mile
Without a coat is winter’s child
The smitten brave will rest awhile
In the shadow of the cross

Far away and blood is rain
Mocking tongues in cold disdain
Weave with deceit a web of shame
And laugh at love’s unnatural course
Far away the dead will rise
Wounded hands will touch blind eyes
Defiled no more nor beauty dies
In the shadow of the cross

In The Shadow Of The Cross

Wouldn't it be nice to get away?
To start a brand new day
Wouldn't it be nice to get away?
To start a brand new day

And aren't you tired of politics?
Oh... just listening to all these DICKS!
Wouldn't it be nice to get away?
We could start a brand new day

Wouldn't it be nice to get away?
To see a brighter day
Blood on the windows flashes by..
We don't even stop to ask WHY

Wouldn't it be nice to get away?
We could start a brand new day...........

Get away

My Parallel Universe (Three Photons Oct 2018)
Written in C# Phyrgian mode. Cheers, TJG. 

it's a parallel universe
it's what I believe
you and I staring out at space
you're staring back at me

we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!

I think I was shaken 
by the light in your eyes
I must have been taken
for a beautiful ride

we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!


it's a parallel universe


It's a parallel universe
it's what i believe
you and I staring out at space
you're staring back at me


we're light-years apart
and I've traveled so far
just to find you!

just to find you

just to find you

My parallel universe

Let Them In

The City - Words & Music by Pravinand Maharaj

Once it was a city
Now it’s just a street
With every mile another dream lays crushed
And the sun shows no pity
Pouring out its heat
As mighty towers crumble into dust

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

There were signs on the water
Portents in the sky
The Watchers blind by sleep didn’t see a thing
Six crows at the altar
A bargain for the price
Half less worth an eagle’s broken wing

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

What walks the moon at midnight
Through the narrow lanes 
Lurking in the shadows that it cast
A pestilence upon us, a blight
A spreading stain
Taking everything out on its path

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

So, sing the last love song written
Drink up the vineyard grape
Rouse the ghosts of tomorrow from their slumber
If I break out of this prison
And the hour’s not too late
I’ll be down the road without a name or number

One by one they followed
One by one they left without a trace

Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

You're stronger than steel, you gotta heart of gold
The cells in your blood won't leave you alone
It's a rare disease, one step at a time

Lyrics
Verse 1
Old man, hold my hand
and tell me a story 
of a boy, and all the joy 
Yeah….

Chorus 1
Walking down the street 
You’re so out of reach
and everyone passes by
with stars in their eyes

Verse 2
Sitting at the lake
Watching the waves crash in
Come on hold my hand
One more time
Old man, hold my hand
and tell me one more story
when you were a boy 

Chorus 2
Walking down the street
You seem so out of reach
Come take my hand 
Try to understand
Walking down the street
You seem so out of reach

Outro
You seem so out of reach
Please come take my hand 
And try to understand 
Stars in your eyes
You’re so out of reach
Stars in your eyes
And no one can be reached
Stars in your eyes 
Try to understand

Slow motion memories (feat. The Gatsbys)

For the 31st Solar Kama Sutra song I decided to challenge myself a bit and do something in 7/4 time.  I tried remembering a band I heard do that and thought, "Isn't Pink Floyd's "Money" in 7/4 time?"  I remembered hearing it and thinking it was...

...  Turns out it is!  So for that reason I thought of Pink Floyd, and tried to do a Pink Floydish sound.    It's also a nod to Radiohead's "Pyramid Song".  I tried to capture the same feeling that song gives me, but with Solar Kama Sutra this time. 
(by the way, Solar Kama Sutra has always been just one person.  It's just the name for what I call the music)

Since Radiohead already used "Pyramid" which is well-known since ancient Egypt to be the coolest shape, I had to go with something else.  "Sphere Song" and "Cube Song" ?...  Well...  Those song titles just aren't gonna work....   Maybe "Dodecahedron Song"?....  Hmm... That actually sounds pretty catchy...  Feel free to use it!  

 My vocals are used more heavily on this track than it seems.  Throughout the track I tried to make my vocals sound like guitars and other instruments

  And definitely hats off to Pink Floyd for making a hit song in a 7/4 time signature.   How many times has that been done before?!

And of course, hats off to Stonehenge.  The ultimate inspiration for this track

lastly, much respect & love for all of you who have dropped by once again

- John

Lyrics

Verse 1
wanna walk forever
in a day
walk right next to you
wanna take it down
to the rivers edge
see what we can do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

verse 2
crazy days and crazy nights
it's who we are
you know we'll make it through
nothing lasts forever
we'll carry on
doing what we do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Verse 3
wanna walk forever
in a day
walk right next to you
wanna take it down
to the rivers edge
see what we can do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Outro
you must be strong
you must be strong....

Walk forever

This track is inspired by an old piece from 1982, which we played in my third Band. At that time we were enthusiastic and wanted to make music as a living. But we all ended up somewhere else, only our singer made it, as he joined Pink Cream 69 and later Helloween, where they are playing the big festivals till today :-)
I myself had stopped playing at all, focused on my profession and touched only the acoustic guitar from time to time. My Marshall JCM 800 and my Fender were becoming more and more living room Accessoires and were nicely looking hanging untouched at the wall. In 2015 my son woke up music in me again, when he came to me playing a song he had created with GarageBand on an iPad. Then the guitar flame started to burn again and finally the result you can listen here. I hope you enjoy it.

In 2020 we all needed a trapdoor from the world. Here's to 2021!
Lyrics:
I'm not holding out much hope
Just wait down here 
Until you hear the footsteps just slowly disappear
Looking for your own little hideaway from the world?
Make yourself a trapdoor
And drop out of the universe
(Trapdoor)
A side door, that's what you need to do
A side door to pop in and out through the world
Wait down here with me
Just wait until you hear the footsteps disappear
(Trapdoor)
You've got make a trapdoor
Got to see where it goes
It down a long alleyway
It takes you Into a big city with lots of cars and cabs
(there's no cabs no more, what are you talking about?)
You never seem to go
You're drinking toxins in a cup
Hey Baby, don't you know about the divinity of throwing up?
I've seen so many good intentions gone bad 
Like you'll never know!
Yeah (come on) make you're best intention known
I know I'm an acquired taste
That's what you got to do
Set yourself a trapdoor from the world
Trapdoor from the world
Set yourself a trapdoor
Trapdoor (that's what you're looking for!)
That's what you've been looking for your entire life
It's come to fruition!

Trapdoor (from the world)

A million thanks to Nat for her gorgeous vocals here. This song is for the soldiers who risk their lives for us and get nothing in return but mockery. We hate war and want our boys back home. But those who fight for us deserve respect and recognition.

Politicians sent our boys to war
to a place they've never been before
I'd like to send the old guys instead
to make them think about a senseless death

Hey, this is no game, you have no right to waste their lives
hey, have you no shame, you wouldn't dare to be on the other side

Defend their country - that's all they should do
but there is so much more you send them through
how can you make them fight in foreign lands
cause you know pretty well how that will end

Don't leave them alone
bring our boys back home

Badly traumatised when they return
rejected by the people makes them burn
they risk their lives but mockery's all they earn
will the politicians ever learn?

They deserve respect, please act like that and honour them
give them all they need to find their way in life again

Don't leave them alone    
bring our boys back home

Lyrics Demitri:
I’ll be there
True it makes me happy
When I look at you
Don't mean to be sappy
You make my sky’s turn blue
Pure as the driven snow
I can't let this go
Love like the sun rays shine
So glad to call you mine
I'll be there
Be there when your sad and lonely
I'll be there
Be there when you're cold and tired
I'll be there
Honey you can hold your head up
I’ll be there
Honey never let you go
Never let you go
I'll be there

I’ll Be There - Paploviante

YOU USED TO TAKE A BREAK
AND THAT WAS NOT A JOKE 
SITTING ON A CORN FLAKE
YOU SANG MORE THAN YOU SPOKE
WETHER ROCK OR BAROQUE 
MUSIC YOU USED TO MAKE 
CAN IT BE ALL IN SMOKE 
VANISHED FOR HEAVEN SAKE

YOU USED TO MOVE
AT YOUR OWN GROOVE
AND NOW YOU HAVE GO BACK THERE

C’MON MAN BREAK THE BRAKE 
MUSIC WILL NEVER STOP
A GAME OF GIVE AND TAKE 
THAT STICKS UNTIL YOU DROP
AND A HIT OR A FLOP
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE 
JAZZ FUNK ROCK FOLK OR POP
A SONG IS ALL IT TAKES

YOU USED TO SOOTHE
BLUES WITH THE BLUES
NO WAY YOU WOULDN’T GO BACK THEN

WHEN MUSIC IS AT STAKE MAN THIS IS NOT A JOKE
NO USE TO BABBLE AND TALK A SONG IS ALL IT TAKES
YOU USED TO USE
LIFE AS A MUSE
ABEL YOU ARE TO GO BACK THERE

Verse 1
I don’t see a way you could find it here….

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin
Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 2
See the rain
on the window
Crashing down again
Three miles from where we began…

refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Verse 3
Well the rain keeps falling down
Nothing left to see in this old town
So much sin bringing us to the ground……

Refrain
You got the sunlight on your skin
You’re looking for a win
Nothing heals your sin

Babe it’s time to go
Babe it’s time to go
You know it’s time to go
Again

Outro
I see the sunlight now
I see the sunlight now
I feel the sunlight on my skin

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Well I Know
Well I know
I feel the sunlight on my skin
Well I know
There’s something happening here

Sunlight for your sins

You're invited to join Shade Structure on a late night walk. Half awake/Half asleep.

Lyrics:
Sleepwalking
In the city at night
Past the dive bars
And the neon buzz

I rarely take my heart out anymore
Sitting here
In my electric chair
Of my own design
Felling fine
Just passing time
Sleepwalking in the city at night
I hope that after my crash
They find my
Black box flight recorder
Of my dreams
So we can retrace
The themes
Of my demise
This could be my last song?
Hey friends
You know they're going to get your story wrong!

I've got the devil on the payroll
Walking around with half a soul
Selling what's left for parts
That's a good start
Walking past the dive bars
It's not a term of art
In the city at night
Sleepwalking in the city at night
Breathing rarefied air

I've got the devil on the payroll
We could light a fire
We could just stand back
And watch it burn
At nighttime no one is really your friend
Working with a halfway, sideways sense of zen
Sleepwalking in the city at night

Walking past the dive bars
24 hour  convenience store
Dodging the busses
Goddamn Uber
The homeless in the street
$12.99
Indian food
All you can eat
Sleepwalking
Friends
You know they're going to get your story wrong

Krissi- Jokaisen Matka Jatkuu Ajallaan

Three Photons is an analog-centric indie jazz-blues project that blends vintage warmth with cinematic introspection. Rooted in tape-based production and minimalist arrangements, the sound evokes dusky landscapes, quiet urgency, and the emotional clarity of improvisation.

Drawing from early jazz recordings, lo-fi textures, and ambient storytelling, Three Photons crafts sonic environments where each note feels intentional and alive. The name reflects a fascination with light, resonance, and the subtle interactions that shape perception—mirroring the project’s ethos: understated, immersive, and deeply human.

From reel-to-reel saturation to spacious reverb tails, every track invites deep listening and quiet reflection. This is music for late nights, long drives, and moments that linger.

🎙️ Analog soul. Magnetic tape. Timeless tone.
