Heavy message but with a calming meditative trancelike sound. Really great one here Dave

Hey man, this is a brilliant diatribe on society and our collective hypocrisy and failings. Excellent work, man!

wow, very powerful and insightful words, Dave! great job!

Similar to R I.P.  A bit of fun with a Dylanesque type blues.

Ain't No Cure For Love W/PJ Project

Folk number from way back merging a few concepts... Lammas is an August harvest festival and Martinmas a November cattle-slaughtering and salting-down for winter one. Plough Monday celebrates the burying of a corn 'dolly' made from the last harvest sheaf to 'embody' the corn spirit and provide a winter refuge prior to its summer rebirth. Kine is an old word for cattle. How in touch with the land were rural folk from centuries past, and how disconnected we seem today in our little plastic techno-bubbles.🙄My lyrics, Mr. L's music/vocals. Copyright 2008 Jay Rich and Mr. L. Lyrics below:

                John Barleycorn

V1:

Hail old John Barleycorn
Your once ripe earth is so forlorn
With weeds instead of grain it's overgrown
From its trials it seems so worn:
Planted seeds as yet unborn
Lie dormant in the soil in which they're sown

V2:

Come summer, crops stand tall and strong
With you to urge their growth along
So Lammas brings in rich and heavy yields
Reapers sing Thanksgiving songs
Nights are short and days are long
The harvest moon shines bright upon your fields

Ch1:

Hail old John Barleycorn
Arise and be reborn
John Barleycorn arise and be reborn

V3:

Lush pastures flush with feeding kine
And Mother Nature marking time:
Her rhythms and her cycles so well known
To you a reader of the signs
Knowing what she has in mind:
Horn of plenty for the harvest home

*****Break*****

V4:

Plough Monday's corn doll offering:
A ploy to ward off suffering
Tombed in the first furrow of the year
With Martinmas comes slaughtering
Of fattened stock now herded in
Feeling nature's bounty will bide near

V5:

As seasons pass embrace your fate
Of lyring low and enforced wait
Retirement though won't suit John Barleycorn
You'll do no more than hibernate
Your reappearance never late
Your spirit will return to be reborn

Ch2:

Hail old John Barleycorn
Arise and be reborn
John Barleycorn arise and be reborn

Ch3:

Hail old John Barleycorn
Arise and be reborn
John Barleycorn arise and be reborn

Outro:

John Barleycorn arise and be reborn
John Barleycorn arise and be reborn

Time Zones

1984 Cherche Soleil

It doesn't seem to matter if you are in a democracy,a republic, dictatorship...the same basic mistakes keep popping up..we don't learn from the past..we think that whatever we are familiar with is the only "correct" way to be..we are afraid of anything that remotely looks "different" and consider it a threat and not an opportunity to improve

lyrics

everybody has an army
everybody has parades
everybody has statues
to put their heroes on display
some for those who lead and lied
Some for those who followed and died
they stand alone in the sun
home to pigeons, collecting dust
no one seems to remember much
of who or where or why
all they know is that long ago someone had to die
all they know is they are very glad it wasn't you or I

everybody has a god
everybody's faithful to it
they use his words to extend a hand
they use the same to send a bullet
in the end it's not about god
or his word or their faith
it's about money greed and power
fueled by cowardice fear and hate
god forgives them no matter what 
is the lie they tell themselves
so it doesn't matter what we do

everybody has science
everybody makes wonder drugs
everybody uses science
to find better ways to kill ourselves
billions for bullets tanks and drones
instead of medicine food and homes
all that good blows away in the wind
from the blast of the last bomb that they built

3 things at which we excel
the third is killing..man beast or plant
the second is the sorrow for the bloody aftermath
the first thing is we close our eyes and our ears 
and do it all again year after year after year....

if everybody does it can it be wrong???

I'm happy to present this first collab with i-Mac https://soundcloud.com/maclennanmusic , who kindly invited me to work with his cool track ! Cover image also from i-Mac .....

une chanson que l'on joue encore avec "Mark et nous", une balade nostalgique que j'aime chanter... vous pouvez écouter sur le site de "Mark et nous" une centaine de mes chansons...

"Regarder passer les diligences" seul au studio

these are short songs ,poems more than musical songs really,that are meant to emphasize the lyrics that address what I think are critical issues for all of us : our relationship to each other/the planet/ourselves.. so please have a listen and let me know your thoughts. nothing fancy/cell phone recordings/take care be safe
I am now on Spotify.com as Dave Scamurra .please visit

if everybody does it can it be wrong???
