Another song written in 1976 and recorded in 2023...

The radio sang Thunder Road
Cigarette smoke in the air
As the kitchen sink overflowed 
There are voices in the mountains
All the losers we hold dear
The rain is coming it’s near

Hands like live wires
Sparking a connection
Stairs to nowhere
Fueled our affection
Give me some time
To sort out the crime
The light from a flicker
Of lost signals and missed signs

The empty stores and coffee stains
This old town’s a ghost
What’s left is circling the drain
Coyotes cry and then fade away
Only her memory stays

Hands like live wires
Sparking a connection
Stairs to nowhere
Fueled our affection
Give me some time
To sort out the crime
The light from a flicker
Of lost signals and missed signs

Tom's piano melodies are so inspirational, not just to me (Mark) but also to Jussi, Georg and Boon. The energy of this piece carried us all off on a wonderful journey. We hope you enjoy the joyful enthusiasm that Tom initiated. Tom also gave me the key line, 'My Way Through' and I had to run with it as it made so much sense with this uplifting and hopeful music. Thanks for listening.

Wherever you’re bound you know I’ll, 
Make my way through 
Sure may take a little while
 But I’ll make my way through

Wherever I’m bound I know I’ll,
 Make my way through
 It may take a longer while 
Till I make my way through

Wherever you’re bound,
…You’re bound
I know that I’m bound, yeah!

When I get there you know I’ll
Make my way through
Sure may need a broader smile
But I’ll make my way through.

My Way Through - Tom Régnier & Friends

Ariadne was a princess of Crete and the daughter of King Minos. She provided Theseus with a ball of thread to help him navigate the labyrinth and escape after killing the Minotaur. After Theseus abandoned her, she was found by the god Dionysus, whom she married. Dionysus threw her jeweled crown into the sky to create the constellation Corona Borealis. She is associated with mazes, labyrinths, and paths.

Stephen TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman did a really nice remix on this song so I thought I'd share this version.

Hope That You’re Happy Remix (Eclectic Collective with Joe Stroffolino)

Cast of Characters:
Cgmaness – @hiddenhands-760647700 – Chris – beats, acoustic and electric guitar, vocals, composition, and production
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five string fretless bass, organ, composition, and production editing
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– sitar, composition, and production

This was a seed that Chris came up with on his acoustic guitar, adding beats, and some subtle vocals, then shared with Josh and Stephen. They are always excited to work on Chris' songs, because he always comes up with magical tunes.
  Josh was first in line, adding his five string fretless bass, then the organ part. Stephen used Josh's chord structure to come up with his awe-inspiring, monster electric sitar part. After they both laid down their parts, Chris added the electric guitar you hear at the beginning, too. 
  The song was about twice the current length when Chris made it, but Josh chopped off the second half, as the crescendo fits right into the 2/3 slot now. This was mixed as a team effort in BandLab, too, which is a rarity, given both Stephen and Chris are expert producers. 
  This is an example of a song Chris came up with, that was taken to the next level by Josh and Stephen. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Hilma and Frank, let’s make memories so bright (whoa)

By the light of your flame By Zitou Itou & Albert Paule

Living Our Dreams, Vers 2

Karate, the Japanese martial art — now colliding with Rock! I combined a uniquely intriguing concept with the classic essence of hard rock.

Rock Meets Karate

A scream in the wind it cuts like a blade
Shadows are crawling the deal has been made
Fire in the distance burns cold in my chest
A tune from the abyss no soul can protest

It howls it wails it tears the sky
Bagpipes calling as the angels cry

Bagpipes from hell they sing they yell
A cursed melody in a devil's spell
Bagpipes from hell oh can’t you tell
They drag you under with their ghostly swell

Sounds like hell .mp3
