@user-138663860: Look up Muscle Shoals Sound from Muscle Shoals, Alabama and you will see that a lot of hit songs were recorded in that Tennessee River city. Thanks for giving it another listen.

sounds like a really specual place full of memories and river mud

So great to hear this one again, Tony. You really created quite a colorful palette of lyrical splendor for me to find a musical way to translate. Thanks again for allowing me to jump in on this wonderful Project!

Love this Tennessee poetry set to this backwoods country sound. Nice job boys! Durge

Great to hear this Collab again, Tony. Always enjoyed this one. It was a really Fun Project. Great songwriting, My Good Friend.

Such talent! Great sound and lyrics. Just watched a documentary on this a while back.

TRENTINO SUITE Part 3

Camto De Embalar

This song is about the difficulty of finding inner peace. Rarely we will experience inner peace, usually as just a fleeting glimpse, such as when we are little and gaze up at the stars on a warm summer night. Inner peace can be achieved by focusing more on the gratitudes of the present rather than dwelling on the illusions of the past and future. After all, dwelling on the past is depression and overcomplicating the future is anxiety. The last 10 seconds of the song illustrates a child trying to catch a butterfly. Can you see it too?
Thank you for listening!!

This song came from https://soundcloud.com/re-evolution_cafe/valuable-condition-no-lie, So I completely reworked the original a bit, kept the lyrics, added new tracks, threw away all the others and the next thing you know, Unconscious Condition.

Everything you know 
Has been an utter lie
Nothing you can do to change it..
Cause you're a coward in your eye.
Hold on a tighter and turn on the tv.
Its a valuable condition
its got me all consumed

Don't let it slip out of memory
or you might end up like Henry
shot in the head
stabbed in the thigh

or you might end up like Henry
can't turn it off
or you might end up like Henry
shot in the head
stabbed in the thigh
shot in the head
stabbed in the thigh

But you're hungry to the thirst.
Condition affliction
Inspired and perverse

There's nothing between now!
You're a hostage to your hunger
Venerable appetite held..

You know it ain't right
Called into her beckon
you know it ain't right
See you sling it
you see uncle Charlie
he ain't nothing he ain't

Hold on to the make up
Hold on to your pride
There's nothing to believe
You know it ain't right
You're not alone

Open up wide
Bleeding benediction
it's just a condition of the affliction
Open up wide
open the story
You're not alone
Open up wide..

How'd you get 
Liquid images painted on the wall
Are you in mercy
Are you in crime
Desensitized , are you surprised.
A hunger to her
The house is all quiet and I'm not alone.
The silly war is over
Now it's time to go home

I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember
I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember
I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember

You see uncle Charlie
He aint nothing he aint
Hold on to the make up
Hold on to your pride
There's nothing to believe

I don't remember the battle cry
but I do remember....

  NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
HANK WAS A BIT COCKY				
UNEASY AT THE SAME TIME				
SOMETIMES A BIT SHAKY				
BUT IT WAS HIS YEAR TO SHINE				
				
EIGHTEEN MONTHS ON THE OPRY				
GAVE HIM DRAWING POWER				
HIS SONGS WERE PURE POETRY				
HE WAS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
				
CHORUS				
THE YEAR WAS FIFTY ONE				
HIS BIGGEST YEAR				
BIG CROWDS STOOD IN LINE				
NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
YEA, NO TEARS IN HANK'S BEER				
				
POP STARS WERE COVERING HIS HITS				
HE PLAYED SOME TV SHOWS				
HE SIGNED A MOVIE CONTRACT				
BROKE IT BY BEING A NO SHOW				
				
THE MILES HE TRAVELED 				
INCREASED HIS BACK PAIN				
BUT HE MADE THE BIG TIME				
CAUSE COUNTRY MUSIC WAS IN HIS VEINS				
				
(REPEAT CHORUS)				
				
WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE SO YOUNG				
IN THE BACK OF THAT OLD CADLLAIC

THE UNFORTUNATE SON
                             
BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

Lyrics: I CAN’T GET NO SLEEP

1 V
will you close your eyes my love
the night comes crawling in
don’t fall asleep my love
before the dawn will come

CHORUS
can’t get no sleep tonight
no one is hiding in the shade
dance with me, the night away
forbidden serenade 
be lovers 
for one day

2V
Decades of million stars above
can’t hold the hand of time
if I could, I would, my love
but lay your hand in mine

3V
how could I not notice
the way you look tonight
only our hearts, we follow
and dancing through the night

Can't Get No Sleep (Featuring Chris Spruit)

WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS

THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND

Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST

THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN

IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA. 
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD 
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR

(REPEAT CHORUS )

featuring @4catsncoffee on violin
:
Memories flicker between yearning, sorrow, and hope at the moment you realize your loved one has gone. Sweet blessing is an alt-folk tune with southern gothic undertones.
It is the opening track off the d'ville EP:

------------------------lyrics

Sweet blessing,
why are you playing dead, eyes in the back of your head?
I know even though your skin is cold
You're playing the fool in me.

Just last week? Just last week 
you wrapped your pretty head around this old tree
and tried your best to drown 
but when darkness came down
Whispered please save me…

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'Cause lately I've been thinking of
starting over as we grow young.

On Sundays you go to church alone
Leave your sister's children
Wondering why their two moms are so distracted…

When you come back
you come back, and break all the mirrors again
and scream that dying's the only fair thing
that's left in this world.

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'Cause lately I've been thinking of
starting over as we grow young.

/violin solo @4catsncoffee/

Close those books
Close those books, they smell like dust and ghosts
These old words can't convey the pain
'cause our time is forever near us.

I know a place...
Know a place where almighty sky in the rain
Towers above the earth where we once lay

So bring that broken...
Broken violin with just one string
And I’ll, I'll bring the drums
and we'll sing and dance a play the darkness away.

Sweet blessing come back, come back down 
Way down with your hands on the...
'cause lately I've been thinking of
Starting over as we grow young.
