BLOWING THE CLOUDS AWAY (May/June 2021)

LYRICS

"Time is not for any of us
We make it up to know that we exist
Because time is not for anyone
It's just an illusion of your mind"

As i look up today and
See the sky
And i am
Mentally trying
To Blow the clouds away
Feel the sun on my skin
Feel the earth beneath my feet
Feel the heat
Just blowing the clouds away

When the rain it comes
It washes clean
It feeds the ground
Trees and plants and flowers
Are the blessings for us now

Healing Sun
Make us as one

Blowing The Clouds Away -  Winkandwoo & Midisound

For An Audience Of One (Acoustic Live)

This is a track by Dan X2 that was made in May of 2016.  It has gotten lost over the years.  Dan Blackard recently mentioned that it is missing in our song lists.  So here it is.  Brought back from the Dead.  I don't know what genre this should be called.  What do you think is the genre?

Here are the Lyrics:
yrics;

There's this island
In the sky
No one can see it
with ordinary eyes

A comfortable breeze
Is rocking the trees
The weather so fair
And It floats in the air

My Family and friends
Where they all stay
And I'm always welcome
when I come by there way

The hills fill with flowers
cool running streams
Beach sand for the hours
Of living the dream

There's an island in the sky
Just right for me
When clouds pass by

But The bottles gone dry
And so very tired am I
A doorway for me
To sleep by and by

soon I'm alone
And I take all I own
To my island in the sky

There Is An Island In The Sky

PANDEMIC - Text by Flavio Pozzaglio

I walk around hide my face
From the looks and I guess who you are

Eyes that seek each other
To understand what is wrong now

I draw a circle around now I'm in my space
Nothing must invade my field
but i feel lonely and tired i live only online

Papapa Pandemic parara pa pa papapapa

It does not go away

Pararapapapapapapa

(Marimba only)

I draw a circle around now I'm in my space
Nothing must invade my field
but i feel lonely and tired i live only online

Papapa Pandemic parara pa pa papapapa

It does not go away

Pararapapapapapapa

Papapa Pandemic parara pa pa papapapa

It does not go away

Pararapapapapapapa



PANDEMIA - Testo di Flavio Pozzaglio

Giro in giro nascondo il mio volto
Dagli sguardi e immagino chi sei

Occhi che si cercano
Per capire ciò che ora non va

Traccio un cerchio attorno ora sono nel mio spazio
Nulla deve invadere il mio campo 
ma mi sento solo e stanco vivo solo on-line

Papapa Pandemia parara pa pa papapapa

Non va via

Pararapapapapapapa

(Solo Marimba)

Traccio un cerchio attorno ora sono nel mio spazio
Nulla deve invadere il mio campo 
ma mi sento solo e stanco vivo solo on-line

Papapa Pandemia parara pa pa papapapa

Non va via

Pararapapapapapapa

Papapa Pandemia parara pa pa papapapa

Non va via

Pararapapapapapapa

This is the conclusion of a twisted cops and robbers story that began in Part 1.  You can find Part 1 here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-106484228/whereabouts-unknown-part


Lyrics;
Hound dog hot on the scent
To where the thieving fox went
He's chasing down that miscreant
And he never will relent...
Put the foot on the floor
The hound dog is at the door
Runs out the back real fast
But his escape won't last

The law man
had cuffed his hands
Cuffed them tight
and read him his rights
He'd caught him just in time
To commit a perfect crime
Their whereabouts were unknown

Temptation leads to mighty sin
No one's around to turn him in
For pocketing a cash advance
A fortune made from circumstance
 
Put the foot
on the floor
Their both inside
And he's locked the door

Makes him talk
And finds the stash
He's gonna carry out all of the cash

Throws it in his car
Lights up a cheap cigar
But you can't leave a witness
When he knows who you are

The fox is still lying there
Somewhere deep under the stairs
Price was paid
I'm afraid
Buried for all time
Victim of a perfect crime
Whereabouts unknown

Temptation lead to might sin
The hound dog's never seen again
Good guy goes bad and that's the spin
For him a new hunt will begin
His whereabouts unknown

Have you seen this man. We're searching for this man...

Whereabouts Unknown Part 2

There's no running from the blue these days, probably get shot at the border the way things are going.  Here we are, hitching a ride with the Maestro Keton again, having a bash at singing the blues.  Be well. https://soundcloud.com/keitblues

I have heard rumours and I think they might be true,
all about a friend of mine who was stealing time from you.
etc
I bought myself a ticket for a trip around the world,
was I looking for that inner light, was I looking for a girl..etc

I've slept on beaches and I've danced beneath the stars,
dreaming a thousand dreams in a thousand different bars etc

Red Dirt Diamond Lyrics

This is about how a kid can have the greatest memories even though the times were very hard.  We hope you enjoy it!

Lyrics;
The field was old , I was young
Just a red dirt diamond and more weeds
than grass

My friends and I, a ragtag crew
From the wrong side of the tracks

But hey, we were always there to play
And hey batter swing away

My old man worked at that old soup plant
Like most the dads of the other kids

The families from the factories
were only just one step
from sliding down to the skids

But hey, in the field we'd always play
Hey batter swing away

The color of the memories begin to thin
To black and white and of mice and men

Sometimes we'd all just up and fight
Because someone would lose their temper
But mostly we all got along
At least as best I can remember

The field is old and so am I
And no one plays out there no more

The final game had long been played
And no one kept the score

But crazy me, my thoughts go there each day
hey batter swing away.

Red Dirt Diamond

Contenders Lyrics

Kind of an old drunkards lament. Kind of.

Lyrics;
Monday night the bar to myself
One more shot and call it a night
Never noticed the big man in the corner
Who drank in the shadows and kept out of sight

He spoke out of nowhere
Guess he had something to say
Putting down an empty glass
An old scarred face looking my way
And said;

We all are born contenders
With dreams of being champ
The life that you render
Gives you the chance

The bell is rung the day you're born
And it's round one right away
Life will surely test you
Every night and every day

You're gonna feel the blows
Might even knock you down
Pick yourself back up
And fight on for the crown

With that the big man stood
And staggered toward the door
Broken hands held it open
then turned to say one thing more

Yes, I was born a contender
Now I'm a vagabond and tramp
Once a fighter now pretender
Who dreamed he'd be champ

And with that he was gone
And I drank one more shot
As the whiskey went down
I sat there and thought 

There goes a contender
To the night, cold and damp
Then, asked the bartender
One more round, champ?

He smiled and I laughed
It had all seemed absurd
But so heavy in my mind
Were the weight of those words

We all are born contenders ...

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
