Cornucopia of Thanks: Gratitude for your playlists and comments on Just Have To Wait And See Pt. 2

A Lightly Decisive Step

NEW DIRECTION FOR OUR OLD WORLD

Music of Special Interest Playlist 16

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

Just a boy (ft. Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick)

When I agreed to collab with TRC and started to have ideas about his spacey proposal, I didn't expect he would send me not less than FOURTEEN STEMS ! ! !   A fabulous variety, so I had a complex and funny job mixing them with mine. We got two bass lines going on, but any bass is never too much bass ;)

LYRICS: "ROBOT BLUES"

I'm a robot.
I can sing.
Artificial intelligence
can make me feel.

Then I can understand.
Then I can be like you.
Now I'll play my
Robot Blues.

As I was saying,
be careful, as soon,
you will not be able to distinguish
a human from a lovely lovely lovely lovely machine...

This is the third song posted from the album Bitzone, Stricknice, Wou-Wou & the Wormling, and I have been working on together with a number of other friends on SoundCloud. The first song shared was the late 80s indie American underground inspired song, Ghosting Out, that include Bonetender joining with his transistor organ and guitar. The second song released was late 90s inspired Alternative Rock and Hip Hop song The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3 with Carlos Vivanco and Belial Pelegrim joining in the mix. 

All of the songs were written during the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic when the United States went into lockdown and Black Lives Matter protests where having a major impact. I think you can especially hear the influence of those times in this song. 

I am honored that My Hot Air Balloon accepted my invitation to join this track and that Eddie Shook was willing to add a radio spot into the mix. It is always a pleasure to work with the extremely talented Jonathan Beckenstein and Jamie Rhind. And huge thanks to Bitzone and Stricknice for adding so much creativity and music to this entire project! And as always, Wou-Wou rocks! I have made so much music with Wou-Wou over the years, it is incredible!

Lyrics: 
I'm so tired of waiting at the edge of the world

They say the world is spinning ball
But you know
It’s always been flat to me
I still say the sun circles the globe
But uh
No one ever listens to me

When I tell ‘em 
World’s coming to an end
When I’m yellin’ 
Better make your amends 
When Gods callin’
They say the good shall ascend 
But uh
We’ll just have to wait and see

I'm so tired of waiting at the edge of the world

Gotta love God ’n liberty
But Hey
Don’t you dare tread on me
Don’t say I never warned you now
But uh
No one ever listens to me

When I tell ‘em 
World’s coming to an end
When I’m yellin’ 
Better make your amends 
When Gods callin’
They say the good shall ascend 
But uh
We’ll just have to wait and see

Sometimes I do silly things, this is one of those times. Hats!

the picture is Davy Graham, from his album "Hat" probably my favourite guitarist, a true pioneer (not of hats) 
I do play this in DADGAD, which Davy was synonymous with, so the image seemed appropriate, even if the playing isn't.  I'm pretty sure he would have been suitably unimpressed with this song🧐

but I certainly enjoyed doing something a little less serious. 

Ode To Hat

track created with Logic Pro x.  spiced a bit with soundtoys and Moog plugins.
The vocals, Drums and almost all the synths are stock Logic Pro x patches.
Yes, the 4th wave is here ! ;)
The Fonts are from a cool app called Graffwriter. The doll is from the Squid Game. the Background pic is from my Apple TV screensaver, The photo Art is by me :)

4th wave

I hear a train
Over a distance
Shaking the earth 
With all its weight 
I feel a breeze
Out in the night 
Blowing the leaves
Away and around

You know I'm just thinking
And I cant believe
That with all our strength
We'd buckle
With all our might
We might 
But we wont 
Love one another

(Sun in the valley
Sun on the hill
Sun in the city
Sun on the fields
Sun in our Hair 
Sun for us all
Rain in the valley
Rain on the hill
Rain in the city
Rain on the fields
Rain in our boots
Rain for us all
Night in the valley
Night on the hill
Night in the city
Night on the fields
Night on our minds 
Night for us all
Fire in the valley
Fire on the hill
Fire in the city
Fire on the fields
Fire in our hearts 
Fire for us all
Sun in the valley
Sun on the hill
Sun in the city
Sun on the fields
Sun in our eyes 
Sun for us all)

Life and so many colors
Burning in the wind
For the damned and dancing
Above is below is above is below is above...
The rain will cool us

You know I'm just thinking
And I cant believe
That with all our strength
We'd buckle
With all our might
We might 
But we wont 
Love one another

(Sun in the valley
Sun on the hill
Sun in the city
Sun on the fields
Sun in our Hair 
Sun for us all
Rain in the valley
Rain on the hill
Rain in the city
Rain on the fields
Rain in our boots
Rain for us all
Night in the valley
Night on the hill
Night in the city
Night on the fields
Night on our minds 
Night for us all
Fire in the valley
Fire on the hill
Fire in the city
Fire on the fields
Fire in our hearts 
Fire for us all
Sun in the valley
Sun on the hill
Sun in the city
Sun on the fields
Sun in our eyes 
Sun for us all)

I hear a train
Over a distance
Shaking the earth 
With all its weight 
I feel a breeze
Out in the night 
Blowing the leaves
Away and around
I hear a train
Over a distance

Lyrics:
Old Empty Room

In this old town
When snow comes down
There's not much chance of it laying
The roads go brown
In this dirty town
And stops the kids from playing

The old empty room
Down the hall
Is like December
A Winter so bare
Like the room
'Cause you're not there

The walls are so cold
Like your heart
As I remember
A small chink of light
From the blinds
We used to share

The echoes of
Your laughter now
Brings teardrops to my eye
The memory of
Faded joy
Like dusty air in sunlight

The old empty room
Down the hall
Is like December
A Winter so bare
Like the room
'Cause you're not there

The walls are so cold
Like your heart
As I remember
A small chink of light
From the blinds
We used to share

Old Empty Room (feat. Winkandwoo)

LES HÉRISSONS SONT DES AMANTS
QUI ONT DU PIQUANT
DANS LES BUISSONS ON LES ENTEND
PUTAIN QUEL BOUCAN

QUAND J’EN AI UN DANS MON JARDIN
QUI VIENT LAPPER SON ÉCUELLE
C’EST COMME SI UN ANGE DU CIEL
VENAIT ME MANGER DANS LA MAIN

C’EST UNE CHANSON POUR LES ENFANTS
QUI AIMENT LES HÉRISSONS
TOUT FOUT LE CAMP MAIS ENTRETEMPS
C’EST LE GRAND FRISSON

QUAND DANS LA LUMIÈRE DE MES PHARES
LA NUIT J’EN VOIS UN COMME UNE CRÊPE
SUR LE BITUME MAUDIT CHAUFFARD
C’EST TON CHIGNON QUE JE VOUDRAIS QUE JE CRÊPE

C’EST UNE CHANSON POUR LES AMANTS
QUI FORNIQUENT SANS FAÇON
NI SANS SE SOUCIER DU BOUCAN
COMME DES HÉRISSONS

QUAND LE GITAN DONT ON PRÉTEND
QU’IL MANGE LES HÉRISSONS
M’EN OFFRE UN TOUT CUIT DANS LA CENDRE
JE DIS MERCI SANS FAÇON

LES HÉRISSONS EN PROCESSION
LES NUITS DE PLEINE LUNE
VERS D’AUTRES JARDINS SANS FAÇON
S’EN VONT CHERCHER FORTUNE

LES HERISSONS (Lyrics) From the album (Parenthèse) + Barbara Browning

Verses:
One word ————legit started off right relax while I spit  rhymes start flowing without no script  my words don’t slip tongue is hitting like a whip My haters backing off me lickety-split  they never knew what hit them eat them up like chips  I came equipped it’s about to get lit  one more tip whenever they caught on flip the script
Born guilt free breed for survival  down with me or just another rival  adapt to society the family vital protecting the dynasty totally tribal  nothings free hand to Bible A beat a verse or melody moments that inspire me  to set the tracks on fire be routine self discovery  I am the title and the key that’s the way it’s got to be  till pallbearers carry me Enlightened yeah a prodigy constantly and harmony  Words spill like prophecy chance or probability  conceive and imagined this pages full of paper clips  binders full of rap hits solid hip-hop playlist  the hottest on the hot list tricked out tracks that don’t miss  Glad you showed some interest
Recognize the voice and face in the crowd  don’t hide skyline like I’m standing on a cloud  when I say my name I say it loud and proud  hide who I am hell no I boast  face plastered on every track that I post  the host with the most the last outpost  the attitude the approach is can’t do  Doing my best with the cards that I drew to myself and the fam I’m true blue  blessed be the vibe and my a point of view
Eat it up it’s a banquet my music my focus  delicious yeah spank it my passion my purpose  keep up or get vanquished step back don’t get nervous  is turnt up so crank it just scratching the surface  cash money so bank it a product a service
inspiring greatness go ahead embrace this keep it 100 nothing here has been wasted  slam dunking Haters Victories have been tasted  don’t get it twisted techniques unlisted  armed to the teeth my flow double fisted Who would have thought another level existed  still underground but spiritually lifted  not conflicted keep up don’t miss this versus been scripted  revised and transmitted staying unrestricted  although I’m addicted to the sound —sounds so wicked
Everyone knows the name people don’t act the same  guessing that’s the cost of fame simply surviving the game  but my aim is still the same now you can feel the flames  light it up heat it up that’s the reason that I came  drop a little off the top fresh like a barbershop Every day nonstop reclassified hip-hop —— now it’s gone mainstream the American dream  different flows different techniques different rhyme schemes  you either got it or you don’t —you got it on your dome  streaming through your headphones from your iPhone It’s so well-known I’m always in the zone  Just leave me alone audiophile syndrome  listening to my music it’s so therapeutic  I played in public tight beats on the streets —ill sounds in the jeep  at night when I go to bed I dream it while I sleep  don’t ask me to stop it—-dammit I admit it  it’s more than a habit —-I’m addicted to music  guess that’s why I love it

A sort of remix of Twisted Remains, which is an earlier track

Re-twisted Remains

Re - Twisted Remains

2022a

The content of this melody  song is about telling his love to the Moon

Nilave   [The  Moon] Tamil song

The bass tone "Gero, Gero" that is always in the sound source folder of those who are making music. Did you ever want to use it?
　I made dance techno because I wanted to use "Gero, Gero".
　The concept of the song is Japanese soul food "ramen".
Ramen is a dish of soup and noodles, but the topping ingredients are also attractive. Recently, a special ordering method of "loading all = adding all toppings" is popular with some lovers.
　Let's make all the music on it!

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la vieja madre...   /   the old mother...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la tierra extraña...   /   the strange land...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...


Son tus raíces   /   Your roots are
más profundas que el tiempo.   /   deeper than time.
Olvida tu vida   /   Forget your life
que ahora es desierto.   /   which is now a desert.

Tus raíces de sangre se han perdido,   /   Your blood roots are lost
y tu exótico mundo ha envejecido.   /   and your exotic world has got old.
La llamada de la selva ha convertido:   /   The call of the jungle has turned:

tus batallas en guerras,   /   your battles to wars,
y tus bosques en hambre,   /   and your forests to hunger,
y tus hombres en tierra.   /   and your men to soil.

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
tus cantos lejanos...   /   your distant singings...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
ahora están muertos...   /   are dead now...
ahora están muertos.   /   are dead now.
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
