Helen of Troy

Let me tell you all about our once upon a time
Now gather 'round, listen to my rhyme
A song of days before the crime
Before the big lie

Oh let me tell you of yesterday
About a time before the reign
Of so-called kings and their wicked ways
It was only yesterday
Now there's not much more to say

Oh let me tell you all that I know
If there's still time before we go
Fall too far into this tale of woe
(I hope, but I don't know)

Oh let me tell you all about our once upon a time
It wasn't perfect no, wasn't sublime
But we were free, we were just fine
Well most of the time

Let me tell you if I may
Of a bygone but brighter day
Well we can dream, and we can pray
For yesterday
Before we slip away
Into this grave

Our Once Upon A Time

Cast of Characters:
Joe Stroffolino-- @joseph-stroffolino -- Taylor 114ce acoustic guitar, main vocals, harmony vocals, lyrics, composition 
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender HSS Telecaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– Tom Anderson Custom T electric guitar, mix, mastering, and production
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark – piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –- four string Fender Precision Bass with a plectrum 
 
This song began as one of Joe's, lyrically centered songs, which he wrote and filled in with VST instruments. He came up with the lyrics by sharing ideas with fellow SoundCloud musician Michele Ansani.
   Knowing that Josh is a fan of his work, Joe offered this song to him in hopes that he'd share it with the rest of the band. Of course, Josh jumped at the opportunity to work on his song, and immediately shared it with the rest of the group. 
  Ken went to work first, adding his driving, excting drums. Josh was having a hard time coming up with a good bass line for it, until Ken suggested that he use the power of the 1/8 note to propel it. Tez was up next with his clever fills you hear throughout the first half of the song. Stephen came along right after and matched Tez's energy for the guitar fills in the second half of the song. 
  It was still missing a solo in the designated spot, though, so Mark stepped up with his innovative piano solo you hear in the middle. If it sounds a little mechanical, that's because he's using an arpeggiator to achieve the effect. We thought it sounded good in a song about AI, though. 
  Once all the parts were dialed in, and Joe had gotten all his vocals tuned up, we asked one of our resident pros, Stephen, to mix it for us. He did that and mastered it, too, expertly, as always.
  This is the first song we've ever done with Joe, and don't expect it to be the last. We all really enjoyed putting together, in no small part because Joe is such a competent, receptive, and gracious collaborator. We all hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Joe Stroffolino (and Michele Ansani):
When I was thirteen I picked up my first guitar
it was my mother's, it only had one nylon string 
I tried to play it like a rock star
I learned to play the Coca-Cola jingle
So I could teach the world to sing
When I was fourteen, I put on six new strings
I learned to play Beatles, I learned a Bob Dylan song
I sounded out of tune but I tried to carry on
At fifteen I wrote my first original tune 
So bad it sounded like it might have been written by a baboon
When I was sixteen, I got a new guitar for my birthday
The metal strings sawed through my fingers 
But I continued to play
And the calluses formed and every day I learned a brand new chord
I was obsessed with that guitar and I never grew bored.
I wrote songs every day and most of them were a mess
But I believed that through hard work, I could achieve success
Malcom Gladwell wrote a book that said it takes ten thousand hours
To become and expert at your craft
But now all it takes is two commands and an enter
And in two minutes you have ten versions of the same damn new song,
You just have to choose the type
folk, rock, rap, pop, metal, jazz, trap or blues.
You don't even need to write the lyrics, 
your push a few buttons let the AI choose.
And people will think your songs are great even though you didn’t write or play a single note.
When I was 20, I did my first concert, it was time
it occurred in a village square
there were four cats all friends of mine
I was still using the plectrum and sometimes I got the chords wrong
at thirty I finally wrote what I thought was a decent song
It had a very well thought out structure
And a catchy vibe and beat
It was overly verbose but when I played it people tapped their feet
In my forties I stopped wasting my time
Work was more fun I was doing just fine

Ok I Give Up

** Famous Tolstoy quotes:)
*"Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it."

*"Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly."

*"Real wisdom is not the knowledge of everything, but the knowledge of which things in life are necessary, which are less necessary, and which are completely unnecessary to know."

**"Since corrupt people unite amongst themselves to constitute a force, then honest people must do the same."

**"Just as one candle lights another and can light thousands of other candles, so one heart illuminates another heart and can illuminate thousands of other hearts."

**"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking."

**"Once we're thrown off our habitual paths, we think all is lost, but it's only here that the new and the good begins."

**"A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction."

**"Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills."

**"Many people have ideas on how others should change; few people have ideas on how they should change."

**"The difference between real material poison and intellectual poison is that most material poison is disgusting to the taste, but intellectual poison, which takes the form of cheap newspapers or bad books, can unfortunately sometimes be attractive."

**"Men pray to the Almighty to relieve poverty. But poverty comes not from God's laws-it is blasphemy of the worst kind to say that. Poverty comes from man's injustice to his fellow man."

TITLE TOLSTOY'S WHISPER
______________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
He spoke of love that knows no chains
A truth that cuts through life's remains
A simple life where hearts are free
Tolstoy's whisper
A melody

(Verse 2)
He saw the rich
Their hollow throne
A world of greed
Where seeds are sown
He preached of peace
Of humble ways
Through fields of gold
His spirit sways

(Chorus)
Break the walls
Tear the veil
Live for love
Let kindness sail
In every soul
A spark to see
The light he dreamed for you and me

(Verse 3)
He walked with peasants
Felt their strife
Found the divine in daily life
No palace grand
No crown of gold
Just hearts that beat
Just hands to hold

(Bridge)
A man of earth
A voice of sky
He asked us all the question: Why?
Why chase the wind
Why fight the tide?
When love's the truth we can't divide

(Verse 4)
His books
They linger
Hearts ignite
A prophet’s voice
A guiding light
Through letters inked
His soul unfolds
A story told
Forever bold

Humble Is Enough

Tolstoy's Whisper

The overwhelming feeling of helplessness 

The Falling

...someday, I'll take a music lesson. 

Until then, I invite you into my different visions of what music is. I apologize in advance for not having picked a path, as I sometimes find it suffocating to stay to a particular sound.

Like life, I stumble through songs until I find my way. I truly hope you enjoy these "small journeys" I have posted. They are just a short glimpse into my absurd mind and sometimes fragile emotions. I hope that this music takes you somewhere as it did for me.

-T.
