Name: More or less by Juan Carlos Alquézar
Duration: 4 min 13 s
Description: Another song that, oh, what a novelty! is about me talking about myself. A bit solipsistic, I admit. In any case, the melody, deeply rooted in the canons of the oldest pop, is catchy and quite enjoyable, if you listen to it indulgently.

sweet song...real catchy I love the relaxed  vocal delivery and great call and response of the vocals...super arrangement..and of course I love your guitar sound and cool lead...you are one of a kind

Really cool and catchy with great vocals and lyrics. And I really like that sporadic piano that you’re tapping in the background. 
Very nice sounding track.

Hey Juan man, this is fantastically catchy. Way to go with it!

Cast of Characters: 

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass, Paul Reed Smith semi hollow body electric Guitar 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and love triangle
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — production, mix, and mastering

This song, in case you're not familiar, was written by Medeski, Martin, and Wood with guitarist John Scofield, and performed by them on an album eponymously named A Go Go. Josh has always been a huge fan of both MMW and J.S., and has always wanted to play more of their music, as he used to cover a couple of their songs in one of his main old bands. 
  Josh laid down the bass and after going back an forth a couple of times with Ken and his thrilling drums, they established the rhythm section. Soon after, Josh added his jazzy guitar, as well. We needed someone to play John Medeski's part, too, of course. So, we asked JJ if he'd do the honors, which he did in grand fashion. 
  Once it was all laid down, we needed a good mix, and no one is gooder than Stephen, so we asked him to mix it for us, which he did in his always pro manner. 
  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope that comes through. This is a stripped down Eclectic Collective collab, where most of what we're all doing is improv. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

just not the same

He walked slowly,
through the dirty,
dark streets of the village;

suddenly,
he stopped and
sat down on the curb.

His face was tired,
dirty, undernourished.
His eyes were wide,
staring into space.

Who will believe your story one day?
This is a gesture to your memory...

With a vacant expression.
The desire to escape was great,
but the strength was little, very little.

Minutes passed,
perhaps hours,
who could say?

He didn't notice the people
who passed by indifferently and quickened their pace

Who will believe your story one day?
This is a gesture to your memory...

However,
he understood that the moment had come:
then,
he struggled to his feet,
he raised his eyes to the sky and
fell to the ground,
 smiling.

Tomorrow will be another day
And he has moved away

Tell me then, who will believe your story?
Perhaps one day I will drink
To your memory

another example in my 'isolated tracks' series, this is a short snippet from 'The Get Down' by the Eclectic Collective, featuring just the clavinet chorus along with Josh's slick bass riff and some nifty percussion from Ken.  

here's the full song with the detailed description:

The Get Down (ISOLATED clavinet with rhythm section)

Dear friends, I present to you this song, which is a bit unusual for my taste, but I'm fond of it because of the lyrics. And I'll say more, I think it's the saddest lyric I've ever written, and although I tried to lighten the mood with the music, every time I hear or read the song I feel like crying... I apologize for the emotion, and I hope you enjoy it... dedicated to all my listening friends...

Paola,

You ran happily in the mountains
The flowering meadows and the dew on your
clothes

Sweetly, you dreamed of a better future
Tired, you recovered from the infamous work

And where are you running now?
Which path do you want to follow?
If the thought wants to kill you.

Paola,
Let's forget the false seasons
Let's put on our skis and run on the
snow
Maybe tomorrow we won't be here
Maybe tomorrow will be the day we cry.

And where are you running now?
Which path do you want to follow?
 You know very well that you must die.

That disease that one day they told you was incurable
Only a miracle could defeat it
But you resist and control time
Trying in vain to stifle a moan.

And finally run, run now

Paola
You are free to go
You are strong enough to search
You are all to dream about...

Feeling Alive

This little melody blends the warm feeling of the music with the visual of a late autumn day. A beautiful, gentle ending, not a sad one.

Golden Dusk

I was born in 1963. I write songs since 1980, always as amateur. I just can't help It.
