This is a track I uploaded a while back and somehow made it private by accident.  This is more of a melancholy bit of upbeat.  Like grasping on to something great at a heavy down time. It's hard to explain how this particular track comes across, but I truly hope you enjoy it!

Living in the mountains of Oaxaca, Capulálpam de Méndez, has deeply inspired this piece. The track opens with the sounds of wind and birds, weaving you into the heart of nature's embrace. Intricate guitar melodies then take center stage, exploring themes of balance and fragility within the natural world. The music reflects on the enduring spirit of ancient civilizations, a testament to resilience, but also pays homage to the people of Capulálpam de Méndez who have become my adopted family here in Mexico. Their warmth and kindness are a constant source of inspiration. The piano serves as a roadmap for this musical journey, while the guitar takes the lead on the melody.

°°Español°°
Viviendo en las montañas de Oaxaca, Capulálpam de Méndez, me ha inspirado profundamente esta pieza. La pista se abre con los sonidos del viento y los pájaros, entrelazándote en el corazón del abrazo de la naturaleza. Las intrincadas melodías de guitarra toman entonces el centro del escenario, explorando temas de equilibrio y fragilidad dentro del mundo natural. La música reflexiona sobre el espíritu perdurable de las civilizaciones antiguas, un testimonio de la resistencia, pero también rinde homenaje a la gente de Capulálpam de Méndez que se ha convertido en mi familia adoptiva aquí en México. Su calidez y amabilidad son una fuente constante de inspiración. El piano sirve como hoja de ruta para este viaje musical, mientras que la guitarra toma la delantera en la melodía.

Three minutes before the bus …

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me
Let’s dive in deep.

Our tender hands 
Trying a shared life to pretend.
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Cheek to cheek
Our will is weak.
Kiss me, kiss me,
Let’s dive in deep.

Our touch touches all,
Our body and our soul. 
But three minutes can’t replace
A lifetime full of grace.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Stops and takes you away from me,
Deprives me of your company.

No love is meant to last
Just three minutes before the bus
Comes and takes you away from me,
Leaves me to my destiny.

Your words,
Your smile,
Eyes do not lie.

Paradox of Hope

Even a desert is cold at night.
Even a cyclone is calm inside.
Even two parallels meet one time.
More than a million points form a line.

So keep your hope in the darkest of times.
Be aware that the sun always shines,
even if he's on the other side,
even if he often tends to hide.

Even Schroedinger's cat's still alive,
if you don't look too closely inside.
Even a monkey can write "Faust II",
if he gives it an infinite try.

So keep your hope in the darkest of times.
Be aware that the sun always shines,
even if he's on the other side,
even if he often tends to hide.

 PAROLES
Tu restes
 Comme une parole interrompue
 
 A des années lumières
 Comme un cœur en hiver

A des années lumières
 Rien n’efface ton ombre
 Dans l’oubli rien n’est sombre
 Du joli nom d’amante
Ni le thé à la menthe
 Ni les lèvres mi-closes
 Ni le vase ni la rose
Ni la beauté du chant
 Ni le désenchantement

C’est comme si c’était hier
 Hier
 A des années-lumière

A des années-lumière
 Comme un oiseau qui chante
 Le cœur dans la tourmente
 Et moi qui m’impatiente
 Comme si c’était hier
 Hier

A des années-lumière
 D’étoiles la poussière
 Dans les grands yeux gris-verts
 Des enfants de la terre

Et nos mains sur la table
 Jouent au marchand de sable

 Tu restes
 Comme une parole interrompue
Comme les voix qui se sont tues

Dans l’oubli rien ne sombre
 Dans les années-lumière
Rien n’efface ton ombre
 Pour un cœur en hiver
 C’est comme si c’était…
 Hier
_______________________________________________________________
You stay
 Like an interrupted word

 Light years away
 Like an heart in winter

Light years away
 Nothing erases your shadow
 In oblivion nothing is dark
 The pretty name of a lover
Nor mint tea
 Nor half-closed lips
 Neither the vase nor the rose
Nor the beauty of singing
 Nor disenchantment

It's like it was yesterday
 Yesterday
 Light years away

Light years away
 Like a singing bird
 The heart in turmoil
 And I who get impatient
 As if it were yesterday
 Yesterday

Light years away
 From stars to dust
 In the big gray-green eyes
 Children of the Earth

And our hands on the table
 Play Sandman

 You stay
 Like an interrupted word
Like the voices that fell silent

In oblivion nothing sinks
 In the light years
Nothing erases your shadow
 For a heart in winter
 It's like it's...
 Yesterday

À Des Années - Lumière

Ah, the people we meet, and cross paths with, in this life…. So many experiences. How do we respond, especially if life clashes with these chance meetings? And what becomes of it? Once when looking for a place to rent, (25 years ago) I stopped to talk with an old man sitting on a bench. He had so much to say. My partner slowly became furious with me for taking the time to talk with him. We don’t have to wonder how that relationship went. In other words, this song is not about her…. Hee-hee. Or the old man for that matter. However, there are moments when paths cross, sometimes coming from very different trajectories and all of a sudden something wonderful happens in that moment. Gather, you might have experienced that too. This song is about a brief encounter with a kindred spirit, where our life trajectories did not change: A moment in passing. The song also contains some socially relevant thoughts/ lyrics about the world and my experience of it. Thoughts are thoughts though, and I find the more flexibly malleable I am with them, especially when it comes to the relative truths they may, or may not contain, the freer I am. Seems the more I attach to thoughts and refuse to change, the worse off it seems to get… But that’s just me. Hope you enjoy the song, Mark

Lammbone's Album

Moment In Passing

/больно махать с пирона вслед/
drawn people wave to us
from the compartments - carriages

it's time for them

they draw promises - to come back..
and that they already miss you
that they are so sorry..

and on the glass of the heart
they write..
with paper with tears in their eyes

and then erase..

cold or sadness on their faces?

and it seems that they are yearning and suffering
but the train has started moving
and they forget..

drawn people wave to us
from the compartments - carriages

where?
where -
they will go now
so that our love does not burn out..

it doesn't matter to them -
where to draw feelings..
and then erase everything..
erase..

and forget...



нам машут нарисованные люди 
из купе - вагонов

им ехать надо

они рисуют обещания - вернуться ..
и что уже скучают
что им так жаль..

и на стекле сердцА 
выводят ..
с бумажными слезами на глазах

а потом стирают ..

на лицах их простуда или грусть

и будто бы тоскуют и страдают
но поезд тронулся
и забывают..

нам машут нарисованные люди
из купе - вагонов

куда 
куда
они теперь поедут
чтобы любовью нашей не сгореть

не важно

им - где чувства рисовать ..
и всё стирать
стирать

и забывать ...

trains.

Cast of Characters:

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – 4-string fretless bass
Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel  --MD—effected vocals
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ, trippy synth
Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen– electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and seed idea 
Composition – The Eclectic Collective

This song began about half a year ago, as part of a three song set that Ken started with some really cool beats. Josh was first to the trough for here, laying in his fretless bass groove to complete the foundation and give it some tonal direction. Stephen came next and laid in the really trippy textural guitar that you hear throughout. JJ was next with his serious, no joke organ playing, which sets the mood for the whole thing. Last, but not least, Tez joined by adding some really cool accent guitar throughout.
  Of course, every great song needs a great producer, so we tapped Stephen to do the honors on this.
  We had originally made this and the other two song with the intention of having The Mysterious Decibel and his friend Modes About Me sing on them. However, life got in the way, so we sat on them. Finally, MD let us know that he wasn't able to complete the project with us, much to everyone's, including his, disappointment. However, MD did lay down a rough vocal demo for us, which Stephen very ably processed to sound almost like another instrument in there. So, we're releasing this song as a tribute to them both, with gratitude, especially to MD for all the great work he's put in with us. If you're not familiar with either of them, do yourself a favor and check them out. Modes about me is at  @modesaboutme and the link to The Mysterious Decibel can be found in the link in the cast of characters above. 
  This is an example of what it sounds like when the whole band composes a song together. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Mysterious Modes (Eclectic Collective)

A little ditty partly inspired by the events of this past summer here in the UK but mostly just about polarised society, the constant stream of misinformation we're all bombarded with and the state of permanent anger that everyone seems to live in these days.

Verse 1

So this is modern life.
Sitting on a train, staring at a screen,
Getting really angry, listen to a stranger, tell you about something that they haven't even seen.

So this is modern life.
Head up in the cloud, don't believe a thing,
You're probably being lied to, by that angry stranger,
Motivation's murky making money from your dreams.

Well this ain't the future I remember being sold...
I must be getting old.

Chorus

Buy, subscribe, listen, watch,
Worry, panic, sleepless, lost,
Clicks, likes, follows, the game,
Lonely, withdrawn, quiet, pain.

Eat, sleep, stream, repeat,
Alone, cutoff, self-defeat,
Consume, collect, gamble, spend,
Hollow, empty, collapse, the end.

Verse 2

So this is modern life.
Must be right or left, hate the other side,
Blind to other viewpoints, listen to the leader,
Blame a group of others for the problems in your tribe.

So this is modern life.
Sitting in a truck, heading off to war,
Not sure why you're fighting, something that the leader
said in some long boring speech you listened to before.

Now your future has been sold...
And you won't be getting old.

Chorus

Buy, subscribe, listen, watch,
Worry, panic, sleepless, lost,
Clicks, likes, follows, the game,
Lonely, withdrawn, quiet, pain.

Eat, sleep, stream, repeat,
Alone, cutoff, self-defeat,
Consume, collect, gamble, spend,
Hollow, empty, collapse, the end.

Modern Life

En écoutant cette production de NégativeHeadphone, j'ai adoré.
Il a accepté que je pose ma voix et le chorus guitare. Puis il a fait un traitement sonore et un mix génial.
J'en reste pantois. Immense merci.
Dans le miroir, il y a des visages...
Sous les fenêtres jolies
des plumes de vie
Des ballons d’essai

côté morose maudit
Nous lance des cris 
Pour la nuit

Nuits de flammes
Nuits de larmes 
Où les âmes scintillent
Nuits de charmes
Nuits de drames
Où les coeurs vacillent

A t-on le pouvoir des questions
A-t-on le vouloir solutions
Doit-on fuir ou mourir 
le vertige des sourires



Vies pâles sans émotions
Regards froids sens profond
lumière bleue naturelle
Le respect éternel



Toujours fidèle aux visages
Qui nous relient aux images
Dans les reflets sans âges
De ces nuits d’orage

Chorus guitare

Toujours fidèles
Toujours fidèles

Toujours fidèles

If I was a butterfly
I'd map the countries from on high.
If I was a butterfly
On every flower I'd stop by.

If I was a butterfly
I'd cross the ocean in the sky.
If I was a butterfly
I'd rest on sails to paint their white.

If I was a butterfly
A graceful dance would be my flight.
If I was a butterfly
The weight would fall and I’d feel light.

If I was a butterfly
A graceful dance would be my flight.
If I was a butterfly
The weight would fall and I’d feel light.

Passing Butterfly

Here’s my latest song written at my real acoustic piano. 

Thank you so much to my lovely Sander for mastering. 
@wane-of-summer 😊💕🎶❤️🎼🎵🎹🎤❤️

You’ve stolen my heart
Killed all my doubts
And now I’m falling
Head over heels

And now I’m wondering 
If you’ll be my partner in crime

You’ve robbed my soul
Set me aflame 
And now I’m burning
Just for you

Oh sentence me
Oh sentence me

ILLUSION MACHINE (Winkandwoo & Midisound)

This original song praises the wonder of the Christmas season and calls for all mankind to savor the ultimate gift of Jesus Christ. It is a folk-based piece that incorporates various mideastern sounds in tribute to the origins of the Christmas story. We wish everyone all the blessings of the season for 2024 and beyond.

Lyrics:
The young winter beats on my window glass
The frost makes prisms of the sun
The dawn marks one year since Christmas last
Kinsmen & friends lost and won

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Evergreen boughs on the mantel lie
Mistletoe waits by the door
Neighbors all bundled, shall soon stop by
Then wassail and ale we will pour

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Christmas reveals all the years that have flown
And the child we all hold in our hearts
That quiets the tears from the seeds we have sown
And returns us to where it all starts

I pray on this day that every man
The advent of Christ, will behold
The greatest of gifts, more precious than
Frankincense, myrrh & gold

Frankincense, Myrrh and Gold

Frankincense Myrrh and Gold

I wrote this forty years ago as part of the "Scenes of St. Francis" small-town song anthology and thought it might be fun to post as fall is winding down but before the Christmas season gets into full swing.  St. Francis, Kansas is a little prairie town nestled in a shallow river valley and has an abundance of trees, mostly cottonwoods, but a few hardwoods that stand out especially in the fall. And with the trees was an abundance of squirrels always playing chase or hide and seek when they weren't getting into mischief.  They needed a song, and with my daughters being so young, I wanted to make it in the form of a children's song that they could sing along to.  As adult women, they still like to sing along when they hear it which is a good thing since my own singing voice has largely depleted with age.  But it is a nice reminder that once upon a time I could sing:) Rescued and remixed from an old but faithful cassette tape.

Squirrel Song lyrics:
Hop, skip, and jump, and away they go,
Haven't got a care in the world.
Playing hide and seek 'round an old tree trunk,
I'm talking 'bout my friend the squirrel.

Gathering nuts is a way of life,
But even they know when to play,
And though winter's coming before too long,
They still live life day by day.
Chorus:
Just let their antics entertain you,
From a high-wire act to a tree-top stunt or two,
There's not a dull moment when you see them around,
There's fun wherever they're found.

Instrumental hums then repeat chorus

Hop, skip, and jump, and away they go,
They have something we need to learn;
That a happy life is made of work and play
When each one gets a turn.

The second track I have done with The Gatsbys and it’s always a pleasure to be asked to collaborate.
Dirk sent me the instrumental and like before I was blown away by his guitar work & melody.
I contributed the lyrics and vocal melodies to this.
It was an honour that he used Nothing left to defend on his latest album Cancel the winter.
So to be asked again was always going to be a yes. 
The  Gatsbys always create that live indie band sound on final recordings  especially with Bens percussion work. 
I hope you enjoy the track as I enjoyed singing on it.
We give you The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie….

Till The End

Give me sunshine over your bullshit…
Everyday..

I"ll Take $unshine

Re recording of an old song. Solo Guitar and vocals with a little something here and there. Recorded this evening. 

Get up early and start your day
give some time back to yourself today
find the good times all around you
Bring the fun back in your life
leave those old work shoes by the door
you made your share of sacrifice
listen friend take my advice

The time for messing around is in the past
the days are moving by so very very fast
it's time for you to have your say
don't you letting things get in your way
forget about what other people do
and don't you worry about waht they say
cause they don't know you anyway

Save me.. save me.. save me
oh won't you please
won't you save me.. from another day
of doing things in the same old way

So settle up those old affairs
all they're going to get you 
is a head full of grey hairs
you know the folks around
they still love you so
they're gonna smile and wave as they watch you go
so won't you wave goodbye to yesterday
before you get too old and slow
it's time to shine and let it go

Save me.. save me.. save me
yes and carry me along with you
on this beautiful day
