What I came across on SC, worthy of your time

I caught you looking down your nose. When you had read my words.
With all the silly pictures where I put my head on birds.
Trouble is you think you mean something.
When you really don't mean nothing. 

Oh, I could write a song with words exactly the same as you.
But my words won't mean a thing to you.  You take me for a fool.
And you think you fucking mean something.
You really need to mean something. 

Your pretty face decayed with age and left you in the lurch.
you didn't have a character. you'd never been to church.
But you still pretend it means something.
Oh, it really fucking means something. 

Watch out, you'll give me a heart attack.
No doubt. now you have lost the knack.
Step out. hoping to find your way home.
Now you're all alone. 

Your guitar is on your shoulder and you Wear it like a hat.
Just a fashion statement that might help you pull and that.
You still pretend it means something.
Oh it really fucking means something. 

Just because I have a joke and arn't as serious as you.
That doesn't mean that my words don't count exactly like yours do.
But I don't pretend they mean something.
They really don't mean nothing. 

Yeah I use all the cliches, oh I might say in or out. 
Up-and-down, side to side, I might cry round about.
I just don't pretend to mean something.
It doesn't fucking mean something. 

Hard tack. The few things your living for 
Hatch back. Expecting nothing more.
Old hat. Hoping to find your way home.
Now you're all alone. 

Oh, I might write a song in which I'm talking to a wolf.
Because that is a word which I can easy rhyme with gulf.
Bet you wanna think that means something.
It really fucking means nothing. 

Yeah, it's as easy as finding words that rhyme with laundromat.
You could say that, bat, cat, sat, lath, rat, hat, gnat, fat, mat. 
Oh you think it fucking means something.
Yeah you think it fucking means something. 

Oh, You've been writing songs in which youre talking to the Queen.
You're creating images, you don't know what they mean.
But you think they fucking mean something.
Yeah you think they fucking mean something. 

New man, tied to a changing mat.
or pram, a dent in the place you sat.
no maam, hoping to find my way home.
now I'm all alone. 

It's not that my words don't have meaning to them like you think yours do.
It's just that I don't attach value to it like you fucking do.
Cos you think it fucking means something.
Or you think it fucking means something. 

Strike back. giving your heart away.
Give back, here's to another day,
Price tag. Hoping to find your way home.
Now your'e all alone. 

Oh I could sing I love you, oh now don't you get me wrong.
But the people that I love know it without a fucking song.
Cos it's actions that mean something. 
Your words don't mean nothing. 

Yeah there's not much point in saying things if you're not gonna follow through.
The people who shout loudest are the ones who never do.
But they still pretend it means something.
It really fucking means nothing.



Mean Something

The Guitar Solo is at 3:00 👍 🎸 🎶

Children of Light (Rock Version)

o-pen your mind
o-pen your mind
o-pen your mind
op- mind-op mind-op

allow yourself to be 
extrasensory—
you can jump the line
you can ship your mind out to the end of time

when stuck in a reality
wiggle out supernaturally
seek and you shall find
a way to leave your body and your woes behind...

much good is hidden in a world right next to ours
so don’t you worry 'bout a thing
lest you be smitten by the heavenly powers
forget the sun, bask in the light they bring...

for as long as you have faith they’ll carry you
from one decision to another
behold the true meaning of free will
just let ‘em steer and free your will from all the bother...

and all the stories, if scary enough
don’t even have to be divine
and when the glory starts wearing off
just reinterpret all the signs

miracles await the pilgrim who is fond
of the awesome truths lying just beyond

why wouldn’t you wanna be 
extrasensory?
once you cross the line
you can lead the blind, run the pantomime

get unstuck from reality, 
walk and talk supernaturally
seek and you shall find
the oldest way to shine and monetize your mind

it’s gonna be okay
if you go extrasensory
and it’s gonna be just fine
when you productize your inner eye

and all the stories, if magical enough
don’t have to make a lick of sense
cause all the glory is only trickling up
to the visionaries keeping the pretense

the whole trifecta—
poor, powerless, and quick to pray
cost-you-extra-
-sensory

extrasensory
extrasensory

Lyrics:

When you saw her face
You couldn't look away
And knew right then and there
(That) One day you would meet

From living room to Kathmandu
Trekking ever closer
Day to day and week by week
Now you're standing at her feet

Chorus
Mount Everest Divine
Goddess of the sky
Cloaked in ice diamonds and white gold
She's magnificent but stone cold
Don't drop your guard, don't be fooled
She's magnificent but stone cold

V2
Nothing with her comes easy
She gives no guarantees
She is the roof of the world
And the ice falls at Khumbu

You give her all you've got
Because nothing less will do
In the end you still may lose
Or watch your dreams come true
Chorus
Mount Everest Divine
Goddess of the sky
Cloaked in ice diamonds and white gold
She's magnificent but stone cold
Don't drop your guard, don't be fooled
She's magnificent but stone cold

Mount Everest Divine

Cast of Characters:
 
Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – foundational acoustic guitar and seed idea
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, piano, synth oboe, lyrics, and vocals
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken– drums and percussion 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – four string fretless bass
The Eclectic Collective — composition and mix

  This is the second song in a row that The Eclectic Collective is releasing in as many weeks that was written by Chris. We love working on his songs, and all jumped at the chance to play with this one, as well. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar, onto which he also put some heavy reverb, giving it an ethereal, chordal sound. To that bare bones, Josh fist added his four-string fretless bass to a click track, of all things. Luckily, Ken swooped in soon after and gave it a proper beat with his lively percussion performance. 
  Once the rhythm section was complete, Tez added his melodic, golden-tone guitar in there. Then, it was JJ's turn. He added not only the piano and synth, but wrote the lyrics and sang it, as well. 
  This song was actually mixed by the group, as we all added our parts, although Ken did some final adjustments, too.
  JJ's lyrics tell the story of the first people to reach Easter Island, millennia ago. The wonder of the journey and the discovery of a new home, while using the materials available to survive. Here are his original lyrics.

Original Lyrics by J.J. Terrell:
 
Through the eyes of the gentle rain
Monuments raised where the Lapwings stay
All the sand, the hourglass of man sifts here
A traveling band of gypsies in this land appear
Crowd the fire as the night sets in
Listen for tales of enlightenment
Until dawn
The flowered down of a bird so true
Pure as heaven, the chosen few
It's all waiting for the night

Unabashed (Eclectic Collective)

Satellite, I see you flying through the sky.
Can you tell me why you've gotta get so high?
I have never seen such motion all my life.
Satellite, you shine your light and pass on by.

Satellite, what is the purpose of your being?
I can't comprehend the sights that you have seen.
I have no idea what they have got in store.
Satellite, they always seem to want some more.

Straight lines cross the sky.
The stars are left behind.
The grandeur of the moon.
Is crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite.

Satellite, I stand here staring from the ground.
While you watch us up in space, recording sound.
Satellite, who sent you up to spy on me?
You were only supposed to help us become free.

Satellite, a glowing tin can full of war.
Falling sideways past the earth outside my door.
Are you filling up on data from ruskies?
Satellite, one day you'll bring us to our knees.

Soaring cross sun-rays.
You transmit through the haze.
A howl up to the moon.
It's crossed by you so soon.
I love you, satellite. (x4)

Satellite

Ninety nine air balloons
When the lies come raining down

like every dry season comes the monsoon
All the ugly will perish, the truth will wear the crown

Ninety nine air balloons
The earth will be flat(once again) 
and ships will be crashing down(no more crazy captains)

No one on the helm a cruise to no mans land
No more control, no more rules to bend

Ninety nine air balloons
Your burden is lifted
This curse, on this earth, shifted(Hold on my dear)

Ninety nine air balloons
When the lies come raining down

like every dry season comes the monsoon
All the ugly will perish, the truth will wear the crown

Ninety nine air balloons
So many beautiful colors but colorless
Like music it doesn't discriminate

Ninety nine air balloons
No more borders only free states.

A small nod to the song 
Nena 99 Luftballons (1983)

Lyrics by Amarya Illude

99 Air Balloons

Lyrics (Lennon/McCartney)

Your day breaks, your mind aches.
You find that all her words of kindness linger on.
When she no longer needs you.

She wakes up, she makes up.
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry.
She no longer needs you 

And in her eyes, you see nothing.
No sign of love behind the tears.
Cried for no one.
A love that should have lasted years.

You want her, you need her.
And yet you don't believe her.
When she says her love is dead.
You think she needs you.

And in her eyes, you see nothing.
No sign of love behind the tears.
Cried for no one.
A love that should have lasted years.

You stay home, she goes out.
She says that long ago she knew someone.
But now he's gone, she doesn't need him.

Your day breaks, your mind aches.
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head.
You won't forget her.

And in her eyes, you see nothing.
No sign of love behind the tears.
Cried for no one.
A love that should have lasted years.

Soma Holiday – Terrycloth Mother (1997)

Baltimore alt-rockers, Soma Holiday’s debut EP, Terrycloth Mother, is a three-track ride through the band’s diverse influences, blending anthemic melodies, improvisational chaos, and brooding intensity into one raw, electrifying package.

Shakedown on Baker St. – A raucous, improv-fueled romp capturing the wild energy of a house party getting broken up by the cops. Loud, loose, and unfiltered.

For fans of rock ‘n’ roll best served up loud in a smoky rock club.

Avenir.

Comme un pauvre  Vagabond 
errant sur les chemins de sa  vie chiffon 
Comme un poète maudit 
Écrit sur le sable mouillé 

Refrain 
Ta  voie  est là, juste un premier pas  suffit pour partir 
laiss’ pas   la peur  te voler ton désir ton avenir

Copie le saltimbanque
qui jongle habile avec ses envies - envie 
La statue immobile
qui voudrait s’envoler  s’en aller


Comme une poussée de sève 
Réveille  ta vie , refleurit le Monde  tu rêve 
C'est dans cette  lumière qu’il te faudra tracer   ta route

Imagine le monde
C'est temps pour toi d’entrer dans la rond(e) tu vois 
C’est ça  C’est ce premier pas 
qui t’a fait saisir ta vie c’est  ça

!--- Translate

Future.

Like a poor Wanderer 
wandering the paths of his rag life 
Like a cursed poet 
Written on wet sand 

Refrain 
Your path is there, just a first step is enough to leave 
Don’t let fear steal your desire, your future

Copy the acrobat
who skillfully juggles with his desires - desire 
The motionless statue
who would like to fly away


Like a rush of sap 
Wake up your life, the world you dream of blooms again 
It is in this light that you will have to trace your path

Imagine the world
It's time for you to enter the circle you see 
This is it, this is the first step 
who made you grab hold of your life, that’s it

Avenir (Instrumental version)

You get on the internet and you initiate a chat
You  might think you're talking to a dog but its actually a cat
You strike up a conversation with someone who seems real nice
But when you're surfing on the internet you're rolling the dice

You just who you're dealing with on the internet 
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

It used to be if you wanted to con somebody you had to get out of your chair, but now you can do it from the comfort of home while you sit in your underwear

A window pops up on your screen, there's a prize , it says you've been selected, so you click on the link and your computer gets infected
You get a fake email from your bank asking you to update your account
And when you log in the next day your balance shows a zero amount

You just who you're dealing with on the internet 
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

It used to be if you wanted to con somebody you had to get out of your chair, but now you can do it from the comfort of home while you sit in your underwear

People giving all sorts of questionable  advice about how you can eliminate bedbugs, acne and lice.
If you're bald as a cueball, don't worry, they can regrow your hair
but when it comes to the internet it's buyer beware.

The internet can be a crazy place, for all you know you could be chatting with an alien from outer space.
There could be an alien ship on the dark side of the moon
Trying to steal your credit card so they can get an amazon prime order soon

You just who you're dealing with on the internet
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

You just who you're dealing with on the internet 
You try to be skeptical but it's easy to forget

You Just Don't Know

       This song I wrote back in 2000 and it's another one of the first songs Charle and I recorded together. Written during my bachelor mid-life crisis phase when I was in between marriages. Needless to say I was feeling alone and blue during that time but even worse than that, I was bluer than blue!? So that made me Blue Blue! I rocked out on this one a bit in the solos and Charlie sang it very well, I double-tracked his voice, and I think Charlie played some harmonica on this one too! I had my old recorder so please forgive the quality. The video is brand new, I put it together last month and played around with colors and strobes, so be careful if strobing effects bother you. The video will drop on March 1st.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/C8SF28zQGTk

 I like my lyrics here, they are very simple but to the point and I think it sounds ok. It's actually a very fast uplifting song with a kind of anxious lyrics behind it, so whenever you're blue just remember that I used to be Blue Blue! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼  

“BLUE, BLUE"

MAYBE I’M PARANOID OR A LITTLE BIT OFF TRACK,   
CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE,   
IF YOU’RE EVER COMING BACK,

I KNOW IT’S FOOLISH AND IT MAY SEEM IMMATURE,   
BUT THIS FEELIN’ OF EMPTINESS,  
FILLS ME EACH TIME THAT YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR,
         
I’M BLUE, BLUE,          
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,             
AS THE OCEAN,         
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
      
I KNOW I’M CRAZY WITH A THOUGHTLESS JEALOUS HEART,             
AND I TEND TO OVERREACT,   
WHEN YOU DON’T CALL AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE,   

MAYBE I’M INSECURE AND IT HURTS ME WHEN YOU’RE GONE,     
BUT ALL I DO KNOW FOR SURE,               
IS THAT WITHOUT YOU THERE’S NO NEED IN GOING ON, 
   
I’M BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE OCEAN,        
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
I'M BLUE.

a song about my ex, and killing the once pristine image of her in my head. fuck you morgan. for everything you put me through. i cannot even begin to say all the words in my head i have for you. this track is a very dumbed down and calm version of the things i want to say to you. all i will say, is there is a special place in hell for people like you specifically. for what you did to MOST SPECIFICALLY our second child, no, MY second child. for accusing me of the zaniest shit imaginable completely and totally out of context, all stemming from a fucking ACCIDENT. all i will say FOR NOW is this. morgan. please from the bottom of my heart, eat fucking shit and crawl in a hole for the rest of your miserable little life. you will amount to nothing. tl;dr: kys!

Hammer of the Gods

Hammer of the Gods (feat. Kai Somby)

Thank you for visiting the Children of Light. We hope you enjoy our musical experience. We're always spreading Peace n' Love. 
Let's be friends
Don't forget to give our music a Like 👍
Have an awesome summer! :)

Lofoten Isles, Norway
More than 25 years as a rookie on my belt
Making music - in my case - is a creative exercise and something I like to do for recreational purposes, above all.
I love that anyone can take a guitar, their DAW, or whatever. Even just pen and paper, and come up with something special and unique that has never been heard or written.
This opportunity, regardless of experience and talent, to enter a universe and go places no one has set foot before, is magic. 
To draw a parallel to soccer, Im a non-league player, and would get attention for all the wrong reasons if I were thrown into a match with Salah, Haaland and the like. Still, by finding my level I can be part of an amateur team that serves a purpose in a local community, like a social meeting spot for people who like football - or don't - to come together, get into talks through a comment on a situation in the match and such. And you know what's coolest of all? Once in a while, when the sun and moon line up, I`m on a streak with my evening prayers or for some other reason have my day, I make this amazing dribble, then score a spectacular goal, becoming the local hero of the day or something. Those moments happen on all levels. Chances are perhaps even better on lower levels for this dribble to never have been seen before, since amateur football is not as controlled and professionalised as La Liga, Premier League, etc, leaving much more room for experimentation and individual creativity.  
I bet you had a few of those moments yourself, right? Send me a sound file, - soccer being a metaphor after all -  of your magic moment, it being a victorious match full song or just this cool detail you like, perhaps a great lyric line, guitar riff, or even cover art, all goes, so I get the chance to enjoy it too, thanks in advance! 
Cheers
Odd Roar
