Just love your compositional style. Uplifting melodies beautifully supported with a superb keyboard technique and great production via the software. So well done at so many levels.

Love this beginning. Instantly drawn into the song. Love the Kinkade artwork for the track.

This drives along nicely, like shifting away from a season. Great vocal and music here Michael.

Cast of characters:

Gaz Brownie — @user-755327533 — Gaz — vocals, vocal harmonies, lyrics, and composition
K2 and the Three [and the Four] -- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – Warwick four-string fretless bass
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– (?) acoustic guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and piano
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez– mix, production, and mastering

This song began by Gaz composing it and on his acoustic guitar, and singing his original lyrics over it. Gaz is a brilliant songwriter, lyricist, and singer, with whom we've worked before. However, this is the first song he's shared with us. He gave it to Ken first, who started the project and invited the rest of us to it.
  Ken, who was the originator of the project, was actually the second person to lay down a part, which he did to Josh's bass, instead of the other way around, as they usually do it. Stephen then came in and replaced Gaz's guitar with his silky smooth acoustic guitar. JJ got down on his magical piano and organ parts not long after Stephen added his guitar. 
  This was a somewhat uncomplicated process, as Gaz gave us a fully realized song to work with right from the start. Tez sealed the deal with his expert production to cap it off, too.
  As mentioned, this is our second song starring Gaz, and we're very grateful to him for sharing his magic with us. We're all looking forward to working together again in the future, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. 
Original lyrics by Gaz Brownie:

Im drawing the conclusion that 
Im just being polite 
And questioning myself is it me our are they right
I’m feeling a little angry hope it’s not  out of spite 
Is just a reaction to this uncomfortable  night 

When did the world stop listening 
When did the world stop listening 

As we compete for space to try & speak
Everyone’s on journey on a bus to shit creek
With condescending story’s of there  bad & awesome week
And I’m working on finding just a better style of  technique 

I avoid catching that struggle bus 
Don’t wanna be part of my problem and be misunderstood 
What are you looking at is there something you wanna discuss 
I push his   face up the window cause I’ve had enough 

When did the world stop listening 
When did the world stop listening

This is the Vocalite's journey to the stars.

After the first two parts, this track brings the short sci-fi saga 
about this enigmatic race to a close for now. If you're interested, 
there may be more tracks featuring them.

But, back to the Story:

In a distant nebula of sound, the Vocalites were born. They were not bodies, but voices — pure streams of tone and color drifting through the cosmos. Each Vocalite carried a unique resonance: some bright and crystalline, others deep and warm like starlight filtered through dust. Together they shaped a single track, a living composition woven out of their shared energy and their shared purpose.

This track was about shaping the Vocalite’s energies and pursuing a common goal.
They wanted to build a bridge of harmony that could be heard across galaxies, a beacon for every lost signal and lonely echo in the void.

The universe was not silent. From the dark between stars, galactic dissonances emerged — harsh, fractured tones that sliced through the music. They twisted harmonies, bent notes out of tune, scattered the Vocalites into distant corners of the track. For a moment, it seemed the song would dissolve into chaos.

The Vocalites were not afraid. Undeterred, they listened for each other in the static. A single tone rose — a soft, solitary note calling out into the noise. Another answered. Then another. Little by little, the scattered voices found each other again, their frequencies aligning like stars returning to a constellation.

They gathered energy with every reunion. Each Vocalite stepped forward with its solo voice — clear, fearless, and unmistakably its own. One by one, their solos cut through the dissonance, not by destroying it, but by reshaping it. The harsh tones bent, softened, and eventually folded into the greater harmony.

Thanks  for your inspiration and support.

48x0 Journey to The Stars (Vocalite Part III)

Pulled this old original song out a few days ago and have been polishing it up. I knew someone long ago that always dreamed of living in the Redwoods in California. Totally inspired me. This is one of those songs that came together over time. I hope you enjoy this live performance I did tonight on my lovely Baldwin piano (Polly) Thanks so much for listening out there! For Bee. 

Redwood Skies 

Standing on the sidewalk looking at the streetlight
Wishing you were here on this cold cold night 
I'd open up my jacket and wrap you up tight 
Letting all our heartbeats feel just right 

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Walking in the coldness thinking how the time flies
Craving our life under those redwood skies
I'll always hold your hand through the lows and the highs
Living would be hard without your soft blue eyes

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Sitting in the moonlight our moments on repeat
Falling for you harder missing your heartbeat 
Wanting just to hold you and whisper things sweet
Only you can make me feel complete Oh! 

You're so beautiful
You don't even have to try
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die
You're so beautiful 
I'll say it till the day I die 
Ooo  Ooo Ooo yeah
Ooo Ooo Ooo yeah

Redwood skies will be ours
Redwood skies will be ours
Oh Oh

Redwood Skies (Original Song Live)

A song which builds on Earth, Fire, Water and Air.  Each line is attributed to one of the four classical elements
🌍🔥💦💨


Elemental

Part of Earth
Fuelled by fire
Good walking water
Air breath of choir

Soil of spirit
Good burning soul
Elixir hears us
Breathing whole

Rock of real
Hot with hope
Liquid love
The freshest scope

Planet proved
A flaming feel
Art thirst we choose
Lungs of steel

Friend of grass
Warmth of love
Drinks on me
Respire dear dove

Inspire as Earth
Burn internal fire
Be your water
Air escort and squire
Inspire as Earth
Burn that fire
Beams of water
Fresh air of choir

Elemental
Human call
Spirit clean
Pure purr
Power pristine
Soul of love
May all hear your call
Elemental

Thank you Cecilia for your message to the world and the opportunity to create the musical backing

Keep up the vibes-Ft Special Cecilia

After ending an unsuccessful relationship, it’s important to first allow yourself to feel the emotions and understand what truly hurts, because this opens the path to inner healing. Then it’s helpful to rebuild your sense of self-worth by focusing on your needs, boundaries, and small daily actions that restore a feeling of control. Finally, to feel love again, you need to give yourself time, open up to authentic connections, and let new experiences gradually replace the pain of the past. 

Po zakończeniu nieudanego związku warto najpierw pozwolić sobie przeżyć emocje i zrozumieć, co naprawdę boli, bo to otwiera drogę do wewnętrznego uzdrowienia. Następnie dobrze jest odbudować poczucie własnej wartości poprzez skupienie się na swoich potrzebach, granicach i małych codziennych działaniach, które przywracają poczucie kontroli. Wreszcie, aby ponownie odczuwać miłość, trzeba dać sobie czas, otwierać się na autentyczne relacje i pozwolić, by nowe doświadczenia stopniowo zastępowały ból przeszłości. 

Después de terminar una relación fallida, es importante permitirte sentir las emociones y comprender qué es lo que realmente duele, porque eso abre el camino hacia la sanación interior. Luego, es útil reconstruir tu autoestima enfocándote en tus necesidades, tus límites y en pequeñas acciones diarias que restauran la sensación de control. Finalmente, para volver a sentir amor, necesitas darte tiempo, abrirte a conexiones auténticas y dejar que las nuevas experiencias sustituyan gradualmente el dolor del pasado.

Time making music is time well spent in these crazy times. ❤️🎶

Sometimes I dream I can fly
Sometimes I dream I can soar

And maybe
When I close my eyes
We can meet in the sky
No gravity
No gravity
Holding us down

Sometimes I dream I have wings
They are beautiful 

Chorus

The stars are dancing
The stars are dancing

No gravity...
No gravity...
Holding us down

Dedicated to Sander. ❤️

NO GRAVITY

So close but yet so far - we're reaching for a star - it's at our fingertips - we ignore who we really are - the truth is in my eyes - but you never look my way - you're so pre-occupied - going on with your day - I'm peeking in your room to see if you're awake - please don't make pretend - oh how my body aches - you're reaching for your phone - it's not me on the other end - does he really make you smile - can he give you everything
got so much time for him - time to throw away - wish you'd make him your past and spend some time today - cause baby we got time - time to see this through - if you've got time for me - then i got time for you
When did this go wrong - the two of us to blame - can you sleep at night - or do you feel ashamed - cause i know that I'm ashamed with all this fight in me - i still procrastinate - precious time is fleeting - if you just pick up your head - take one look at my face - it'll all come back to you - you let me take my place - so i sit and watch you sleep - cause i'd like to spend some time - oh how my body weeps - can't have what isn't mine
Chorus
We're bent but we're no broken - we're tired but we're awake - exchange cautionary glances - at what point will we break - i need some of your time - i miss you terribly - I'm in the other room - come and spend some time with me
chorus

[LYRICS]
Everything is dragged down and away
The days that were so gay
Lie in attics like the dolls
which children used to play
One by one the seasons fall
Memories, like the paintings on the wall
Could only recall

Have you ever treasured one of those sunsets
I bet you've never had
As long as you can see it tomorrow
Today, there's no regret
We keep on making plans
Replenish ourselves with new hopes again
But could we really make it in the end

(Chorus)
Who sorry in this time only look back
To those hey-days, those delicate dreams we left behind
Life's a wintry memory fading in silence
Inevitably leaving me in tears

Leaving me in tears………..

** Instrumental **

One by one the seasons fall
Memories, like the paintings on the wall
Slowly fade away,
the spring of yesterday

** Repeat chorus **

(Lyrics)

------ Verse -----
You can treat me like a dog i'm your animal
smell of blood in the air makes us lose control
i won't give into reason the pure were always grieving 
------ Hook ------
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes think back to when
everything was within our reach
now we're lucky if we speak
----- Chorus -----
What's it gonna be this time
are you gonna fall in line
everything was out of control

what's it gonna be this time
are you gonna say goodbye
i can't hold on if you let go
---- Hook ----
Coming up closer to the end
look you in the eyes just don't pretend
nothing left to be destroyed 
in this game we're just some toys
---- Verse ----
Got you begging on your knees 
now you'll come for me
everything i ever needed hidden in your scream
it could be pain or pleasure
we'll suffer here forever

You always told me so i was just your animal
thought i'd let you know you were just my animal

I'm Your Animal

LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL (Alfonso Llorente)

A singer-songwriter who cannot read notes, doesn't play much instruments except a little keyboard & guitar and considers singing as the most difficult part for him.

So in case you're wondering how a guy like this would sound, just spare some of your time for a listen.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
