A tribute to Mr. Windel Page

WHEN I WAS JUST A BOY
VISITING MY AUNT'S HOUSE
WOULD FILL MY HEART WITH JOY
I LOVED THAT OLD FARMHOUSE

MR. PAGE AND HIS WIFE
LIVED NEXT DOOR
THEY HAD A GREAT LIFE
WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE

THEY HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL
THAT I'D NEVER SEEN
HE TREATED HER LIKE AN ANGLE
IT WAS LIKE A DREAM

(CHORUS)
YOU COULD SEE THE FAITH IN HIS EYES
AND FEEL THE LOVE IN HIS HEART
HE WAS BAPTIZED IN GOD'S LOVE
YOU KNEW THAT FROM THE START

HE WOULD SING AMAZING GRACE
WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE
BEING A WORLD WAR II VET
DID HE HONOR THE FLAG? YOU BET

GOSPEL MUSIC WAS IN HIS SOUL
HE LOVED THE LORD AND FAMILY 
WHEN TALKING ABOUT HIS FAITH
HE WAS VERY BOLD

HE LOVED HIS CHURCH FAMILY
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE
WILL FOREVER BE MISSED
REST IN PEACE...MR. PAGE

(REPEAT CHORUS OPTIONAL)

Rest In Peace Mr. Page - Collab by Tony Harris & Glenny G's "One Man Band" - Original

Just a little song that I wrote awhile back.  I intended to rework but
never got around to it.  I kinda lost interest in it.  Oh well, seems I 
have a lot of these unfinished projects

Let It Roll  (Original)

Written and Produced by: Josh McAlexander

Nowhere To Run {Original}

A gentle love song that expresses the uncertainty of the unexpected seeds of intimacy and desire, and an overall message to not waste time, and to make each day count, whether it be in love, or in life.

Lyrics:    

Another Day

Another reed bending still, another tie of the will
Another stolen day we borrow
Another chance to lift the sorrow

Another day to begin, another share in the sin
Another moment to be hollow
You’ll never lead, I’ll never follow

Chorus:
I keep buying the illusion, when we say that it means more
But it causes such confusion, when we say nothing at all
Don't waste time.... Don't waste time!...

Do you reach for my touch? Has the night been too much?
Has polite masked the truth, past the welcome of my use?

Chorus:
You may not feel the same, I don’t hold you to blame
But there's an ache for you still, like that reed to the will

Will you ever fight for me…
Or leave me stranded in your sea?
A perfect love from perfect seed
Born from a place the angels keep...

Don’t waste time,
Another day passes by

Another Day

'Where Do  I Belong ?- Demo -

HARD

This is a song that we co-wrote, a simple love ballad that includes a brief piano/electric guitar duet between verses. The subject is self-explanatory. A belated Happy Valentines wish before February melts into the Saint Patrick’s season!

Lyrics:

Of all the things I ever held
Of all that's wrong and right
Nothing makes me smile like you
Or hold onto so tight
Of all the time that filled my eyes
The days I’ve sifted through
What could make me more alive
Than time I spent with you
And nothing hurts as much as missing you

If heaven was a place to find
It’s always been in you
Like a secret key you turned
I opened up to you 
And like an angel bathed me in your light, you made me whole..
Of all the places I have been 
I’ve never felt more home 
I miss your laughter and your hand in mine, 
And I will love you far beyond our time

Nothing Like You

The Grand Stage

Lazy Day

There is this little break.  We hope you like it.  The inspiration for the lyrics is a dream that consists of a giant puzzle.  It looks geometric, like farmland. The dream stops but it begins again, and again, and again...  There is this puzzle...  iT MUST BE SOLVED...

Lyrics;
Running down a rabbit hole
Your bright world turning black as coal
The optimistic mystic spell
A pessimistic prison cell

See your dream with eagle eye
But with broken wings you'll never fly
The unexplained in full control, has got you
Running down a rabbit hole

Your feelings change with every move
You find the beat but lose the groove
Confidence leaps from your heart
You feel your faith falling apart

Deeper still the search goes on and on
Darker still before the dawn
So unsure of what you'll find
The draw too strong to leave behind

Pieces of a puzzle
Becoming clear within your view
The answer right before you
But you don't know what to do
Fade to black
You haven't got a clue

Running down a rabbit hole
Hit the target but miss the goal
Questions only multiply
Where when what and how and why

The Nightmares burn and leave a scar
Inside your mind they're never far
They chase after your very soul
Running down a rabbit hole

Rabbit Hole

Tony's lyrics that inspired Glenny G are listed below.
Vocals, Music and Mix by Glen Granthem.

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRY
HE HAD A SAGE GRASS PATCH
ON THE HILL BEHIND HIS HOUSE
WHAT A GREAT MEMORY

WHEN HE GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL
AFTER WATCHING ROY ROGERS ON TV
HE HEADED FOR THAT PATCH
WHERE HE COULD BE WILD AND FREE

FOR AN HOUR OR SO THE 8 YEAR OLD
WAS THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY
THAT LOVED FIGHTING BAD GUYS
IT FILLED HIS HEART WITH JOY

(CHORUS)
THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY
LOVED TO ROPE AND RIDE
THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY 
LOVED ROAMIN' THE COUNTRYSIDE

HE ROAMED TILL HIS MAMA YELLED
COME IN SON...IT'S SUPPERTIME
THAT SOUND MADE HIM SAD
HE LONGED FOR SUMMERTIME

HE SPENT HIS SUMMER VACATION
ROPIN' AND RIDIN' IN THE SUN
THE SAGE GRASS COWBOY'S DAYS
WERE ALWAYS FILLED WITH FUN

THE GOOD GUYS ALWAYS WON
ON THOSE HOT SUMMER DAYS
WHEN HE PLAYED IN THE SUN
HE STILL HAS THOSE MEMORIES

(REPEAT CHORUS)

This is the 7th song posted from the album I have been working on using demo tracks given to me by Wou-Wou & the Wormling during the start of the pandemic! I can't believe how fast time has passed and how long we have been working on this project. 4 songs from the album are based on a graphic novel that Wou-Wou had started before the pandemic began. The rest of the songs are reflections of the weird times we were living in.

Big thanks to Wou Wou, Bit-zone, and Stricknice for still being here after all these years. I have known and worked with people on SoundCloud probably longer than I have known high school friends, college friends, and friends from various jobs. Huge thanks to Guitar Wizards of the Future. I remember when I first began participating in the SoundCloud community, I would always eagerly anticipate a new GWOTF track, especially because I grew up in Oakland California. I look forward to hearing a new one someday! In the meantime, go check out the classics on their page!

Lyrics:

Would 
You like to 
Skip work and go to the seaside
Would 
You like to
Go tubing by the riverside

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go 

What 
About going 
For a naked bike ride
What 
About going 
To a dispensary and getting high

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me hate 
Another day though 
I been poking at my plate
Each and every day though 
Just staring in the mirror
Watching as my hair grows 

Would
You like to 
Visit a park 2 feet wide
Would 
You like to
Be my voodoo donut bride 

Please say so 
Please say so
Geeze don’t make me wait 
Another day though 
I been x-ing out the dates
Each and every day though 
Cause I just can’t seem 
To let me let you go

Weird Things People Do In Portland

Guitar Wizards of the Future, Wou-Wou, Stricknice, Bitzone & CK - Weird Things People Do In Portland

Undertow is an original song that tells a story by making an analogy between being taken away by a surprising, frightening ocean undertow and being wonderfully saved by a surprising, relentless love. This is another project that started with a simple live recording that Nat then fashioned into a more polished final outcome.

Lyrics: Undertow by Daniels & Durgy

I never saw it coming
The water seemed so calm
Into the surf I’m running
Let the waves just cool me down

But as the sea became me
Rocked gently to and fro
There came this rush to claim me
This playful undertow

I leaned well against it
My head turned toward the sun
But soon the current strengthened
And I was going down

No matter how I struggled
The mighty depths insisted
Soon I had no rebuttal 
My will ceased to resist it

And as I let it claim me
Pulled down deep into the foam
A calmness overcame me
With the feeling I was home

I looked to see my fate there
Perhaps I’d met my end
Instead I found your face there
An angel and my friend

And as we both just floated
To rise up to the air
I knew at once God wrote it
That you would save me there

I fought it like a soldier
As the waters turned
But as the sea grew colder
I’d no where else to turn

You sang the song of sea birds
That you would not let me go
And now your love needs no words
This mighty undertow

Undertow

This is my whimsical impression of moving through dream states.

At some point during our REM state,
we may move from free floating imagery
to suddenly crystalizing within a lucid state...while it lasts.

Upon this startling realization,
that nothing could seem so real,
it also begins to appear
that this new reality soon slips back 
into the mundane fare of dreamscapes...

and suddenly we arrive in Alpha,
when we are realigning with consensus reality,
where we believe everyone is sharing the same dream.

Sunny Beaches

Reflection ©

Siolim is a small and cosy village situated about 7 km from Mapusa in the Bardez Taluka of North Goa, India. It is also the source of inspiration for When Disco Goes Wrong's Högt I Tak’s (SXDNS179) forthcoming EP on the super cool Paisley Dark Records: "A Night In Siolim" comes wrapped in acid psychedelia and delivers its message through two refreshing originals and four notable remixes made with love by The Machine Soul, Mindbender, Keith Forrester, and A Space Age Freak Out (SXDNS123).

By the way, Janne Berglund could not wrap this year up before paying another visit to Paisley. His 2023 works were solely published either on his very own outlet or on the British imprint. Fidelity at its best!

Premiered here, John Paynter and Ben Lewis dressed as A Space Age Freak Out’s version takes the title track to cosmic realms in which a frenzy and psychotropic aura sets off a mesmerising and immersive e-music experience, far away from same old same old formulas and ready to take over any kind of intelligent dance floor, especially the demanding ones, whose audiences are eager for something more daring and unconventional.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://paisleydarkrecords.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE554 // Högt I Tak - A Night In Siolim (A Space Age Freak Out Remix)

Use to listen to this album quite a a lot, and still do. I like learning how to play songs and arranging them acoustically sometimes. I believe the raw, bare bones is all a really good song needs. I love the passion in these lyrics and melodies.   

Lyrics
In Candy's room, there are pictures of her heroes on the wall
But to get to Candy's room, you gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring her toys
When I come knocking, she smiles pretty, she knows I wanna be Candy's boy
There's a sadness hidden in that pretty face
A sadness all her own from which no man can keep Candy safe
We kiss, my heart rushes through my brain
And the blood rushes in my veins
The fire rushes towards the sky
And we go driving, driving deep into the night
I go driving deep into the light in Candy's eyes
She says, "Baby if you wanna be wild
You got a lot to learn, close your eyes
Let them melt, let them fire, let them burn"
'Cause in the darkness, there'll be hidden worlds that shine
When I hold Candy close, she makes those hidden worlds mine
She has fancy clothes and diamond rings
She has men who give her anything she wants
But they don't see
That what she wants is me
Oh, and I want her so
I'll never let her go, no-no-no
She knows that I'd give
All that I've got to give
All that I want, all that I live
To make Candy mine
Tonight

Candy's Room

Lyrics:
A star shines brightly up on the sky, sending us a message
For this christmas time...

Christmas is coming, Joyfully we wait
the time of year to feel happy, the time of year to feel hope
But also the time for sharing, love from your heart
Pass forward the message, from the star above

Lend a hand to your neighbor, lend a hand to your friend
share with needing people, offer them your hand...

Christmas is coming you fully we wait
The time of year to be happy, the time of year to feel hope
But also the time for sharing, love from your heart
Pass forward the message, from the star above

Lend a hand to your neighbor, lend a hand to your friend
Share with needing people, offer them your hand...

Christmas Is Coming

The power of imagination is a fascinating and powerful ability of the human mind. It enables us to create worlds in our imagination that transcend physical boundaries. By allowing ourselves to think beyond traditional boundaries and imagine a world without limits, we open the door to unlimited possibilities and actively shape our own destiny.

The Power Of Truth

A past lover keeps showing up in my dreams and reminding me of my failures.
From my new LP " Low Profile". My best tracks from 2023. Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
I get my melancholy straight from the IV drip
A Xanax, a red eyed flight on the sky ship
That's when you appeared
I'd been gorging myself on 
Televised violence
It's like synconized swimming
You were grinning while the plane was rapidly descending
(You smiled all the way down)
The atmosphere was colorless
Odorless
Void of all surface and all texture
I'm reveling in my psychosis
You reminded me I never finished my
Junkyard magnum opus
You still show up in my dreams

We were entering into 
An impressionist painted landscape
With a language that we just didn't understand
You reminded me that I'm a big believer
In blindly believing
And I need to start drinking in
A little bit more in what I'm seeing
We're like suburban dadaist
Coming in, out of the rain
My mind was racing
Like those 808 beats
There all the same
Well, that's the way the Goddamn wheel rolls
You headed off into the night
You never told me to change the angle of the light
You still show up in my dreams

"You never even had it even when you had it your hands,"
You've got to bring it right down
To where the sideways ends in the light
I'm digging down deep
I'm digging down slow
I'm striking oil 
Or the fires down below
You still show up in my dreams

You Still Show Up In My Dreams

Dear friends, I can't help that I simply have to continue to protest against all the violence in the world. It's only getting worse and worse - the invasion of Ukraine has escalated the number of bombings and violence in the Middle East is increasing. This is not the children's fault!

Kids Must Feel Safe

When the children are leaving their home
they must always be safe without any threats
wherever they may be - in our world
They say mom now I am home

The Year twenty three has not been good
for the kids in our world - a lot of kids have died
since villains have sent - bombs on their homes
the kids want to be safe

The year twenty four gives us hope
that the rulers of the world finally realized
that it is not ok to take any life
they can’t blame any war for that

The people must cool down
since all hatred create violence at once
this is an important lesson for all kids on earth
and the sun will shine on us

Kids Must Feel Safe

TITLE: MELTING ALL OVER
___________________________________________________________________
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
Dripping like a summer sun on fire
Heart's ablaze like a reckless desire
Every glance is a spark to ignite
Turning this room into liquid light

(Chorus)
I'm melting all over can't keep it together
Burning so hot like the wildest weather
Falling apart in your heatwave forever
I'm melting all over we're better than ever

(Verse 2)
Your touch is lava I can't escape
Every move you make reshapes my shape
Caught in your orbit can't pull away
Your gravity pulls me in every way

(Chorus)
I'm melting all over can't keep it together
Burning so hot like the wildest weather
Falling apart in your heatwave forever
I'm melting all over we're better than ever

(Bridge)
Flowing like rivers we can't contain
Heatwaves crashing right through our veins
No freeze could stop this fevered craze
We're a firestorm locked in a blaze

(Chorus)
I'm melting all over can't keep it together
Burning so hot like the wildest weather
Falling apart in your heatwave forever
I'm melting all over we're better than ever
(Outro)
(Spoken Word) We're burning forever... No stopping this...Ever.

06 Daytime Nighttime

Something about Autumn-the crisp cooling weather-skies seems clearer--shedding leaves just before the cold winter--the crops have all been harvested-- for me, it seems a little  slower and more  peaceful--natural process of nature and life--my mind feel more at ease--my body feels more relax--my favorite time of year

Fall (Favorite Time Of Year)

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta on a Louisiana share cropper's farm.   A lot of hard work and a lot of good memories.  Those days are gone now.  Sometimes that farm feels like a long lost friend.   I can feel the wind as it blows through my hair and smell the rain as it approaches and falls on plowed ground.

Delta Farm(Original)

Telling The Truth

I'm So Happy Now

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

Tom Adams created this sparkly Country-Blues inspired Gem as an Open Collab offering. Crafted some lyrics, sang along, and then added a little Harp. Always amazed by Tom's Guitar Mastery, and he's created yet another superb tune here. Honored to contribute, and hopefully, lend something to it in some way? Big Thanks to Tom and also Tony Harris - Two of my Longtime 'Cloud Heroes' and Friends. Chuck Aaron and Steve (Spanish Lillies) also created their own Fab takes on this Open Collab Project. Please check their versions out, and you can always also enjoy Tom's Blissful Blues Guitar at Tom Adams (SC site), as well. Thanks, again, Tom.

Balagan - Moonlight (Simple Symmetry Remix)

Started with a few simple tracks - vocals, my Martin Acoustic, a little backing vocal, and some quiet harp texturing. Marc Elluse wrapped my tracks with his luscious guitar work and tweaked a mix that just blew my mind. I'm so very proud to be part of this project and cannot say enough about the creativity and skill Marc brought to make this a recognizable cover, but a totally unique one, as well. We didn't want a sub-par soundalike version of this Classic Rock masterpiece. MakaVox Sax (jazzy key synth) in the mix, as well. :D

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

The ProgRockDan1 site was taken down by SoundCloud. It was located here:
https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

and other on-line music sites.

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.
