När jag kommer hit för att kolla om du har lagt upp något nytt blir jag alltid glad över att se att de enda två låtarna du har lagt om är de du spelade med mig, och det är jag väldigt stolt över! :) En hälsning!

wonderful how you can crete such gorgeous and melodic music with such a seemingly simple arrangement of instruments. fab stuff as always!

love the open sound and resonance of each line Jonah

How can so many complex rhythms sound so chill? Cool arrangement

the claps/snaps play an interesting straight man here. The rest is down and funky. The drums really shine on this one.

Lyrics:
Listen from far beyond
listen you crowd of loss
listen you all, a generation of pain 
that felt destruction so close

listen people who wheep
that you are the chosen sheep
a sheep that will live, forever you will
and without any bleed

and the seasons are changing
and the days are passing by, while fighting the good fight
and the time feels like raging, an unstoppable light 
and now i am saying...you can't go wrong! 

I hear some people sing, 
i hear some people scream,
i know we all, being under the sky  
in this place where we breathe and dream

listen around the globe,
embrace what u  really love
with body and soul you have to give in
 and never let it go!

You Can't Go Wrong!

method: layering, effects, etc ... and yes, most of the melody lines start out with mi mi re ....
narration: the lure of ancient lore derives partly from all the huge gaps in the stories that allow poets to fill in whatever they consider fit. nice.  this poem centers around the mythical figure of Wodan/Odin - often regarded as an older equivalent to Hermes/Mercury (who is supposed to be all youthful) due to their inspired furors - his visit to Mimir‘s well and his two ravens whose sight spans the globe … in the case of this poem, time as well ....

poem / copyright jo richter: 

a double raven
tatooed in his mind
with a beak of dark silver
and a wingspan to blind

one eye pierces
all that has been
the other fills with
what will be seen

no-stone drops sharply
ripples in truth
that pass through the void
in invisible hues

Vocals, Melody, Music and Mix by Mike Fox UK

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRY
MUSIC WAS A SWEET MEMORY
WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY
NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO PARTY

STUDIED HARD IN HIGH SCHOOL
NEVER ANYBODY'S FOOL
MADE GOOD GRADES IN COLLEGE
FILLED HIS HEAD WITH KNOWLEDGE

GRADUATED COLLEGE WITH A DEGREE
TOOK A JOB IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
CLIMBIN' THE CORPORATE LADDER
TO HIM..IT WASEN'T THE ANSWER

HE WAS PROUD OF HIS EDUCATION
THE CORPORATE LIFE TAKES DEDICATION
DIDN'T WANT A LIFE FILLED WITH STRIFE
DECIDED TO ABORT THAT KIND OF LIFE

(CHORUS)
PULLED HIS GUITAR OUT OF IT'S CASE
PLAYED SWEET HOME ALABAMA
FOLLOWED BY AMAZING GRACE
THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'
DECIDED TO LEAVE THE RAT RACE
CAUSE, THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'

(GUITAR SOLO)

HE PUT A COUNTRY BAND TOGETHER
NASHVILLE WAS THE PERFECT THEATER
SINGER SONGWRITERS WERE EVERYWHERE
MAY HAVE BEEN CRAZY BUT HE DIDN'T CARE

IT ALL CAME TOGETHER VERY FAST
STARTED PLAYIN' IN THE SOUTH FIRST
WAS GETTING BACK TO HIS COUNTRY ROOTS
AND WEARING HIS WESTERN BOOTS

SOON THEY WERE PLAYIN' THE RIGHT SONGS
AND THE RIGHT CHORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME
HAD A BAND THAT HE COULD TRUST
AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BUS

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES OPTIONAL)

The Country Life Was Callin' - Collaboration by Tony and Mike Fox - Original

The English saying "We're all going to Hell in a hand-cart" just about describes my mood when I wrote "Descent". It was one of those weeks in northern hemisphere Spring 2024 when there was absolutely no good news coming in from anywhere on the planet.

I trust that things will get better!

Spinning Out Into The Cosmos With DJ Gruff

Mamba

Joe's Mirage

Jumping Fish Competition

Life just kind of got in the way.  
You put those dreams on the shelf for another day.
You thought you’d get around to doing
all those things on your bucket list.
But lately it feels like you’re running out of time
 and you’ve got this urge to lay it on the line.
You tell yourself you’re going to do it, but then you hear this voice in your head.
Making up excuses for why you should take the easy road instead.

Sometimes the answers aren’t in a book
Sometimes you gotta leap before you look
Sometimes you gottta take a shot and let the chips fall where they may.
Sometimes you gotta pick up your bat and give it a really big swing.
Sometimes you gotta get up on that stage and open your mouth and sing

It feels like nobody’s on your side
You wish you had someone with whom you could confide
You’re afraid if you tell people what you’re trying to achieve you’ll seem delusional
You tell yourself that even though you’re no longer a young pup
That doesn’t mean you should take off your hat and hang it up

Time has a way of passing by quicker than you think
We all share the same ultimate fate
You’d better do it before it’s too late
You can keep making excuses or you can try to get something done
Even if you don’t succeed, you can try to make the journey fun

Sometimes the answers aren’t in a book
Sometimes you gotta leap before you look
Sometimes you gottta take a shot and let the chips fall where they may.
Sometimes you gotta pick up your bat and give it a really big swing.
Sometimes you gotta get up on that stage and open your mouth and sing

No Excuses

Sometimes I feel it all slipping away
My hopes and dreams for a better day
Then I flip on the TV and my mind grows dim
I sit on the couch with a silly grin

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

I tell myself that I still have time
To find a place in the world that I can call mine
Then I open the fridge and grab another beer
I tell myself those plans can wait till next year

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me

You tell people that things need to change
And they look at you like you’re kind of strange
They say why can’t you accept things just the way they are
They say the world has always been this way
As if that makes it all okay
To sit around and do nothing while it all falls apart

Sometimes I walk off the beaten path
But my comfort zone keeps calling me back
Saying there’s too much competition
The odds are against you
Youre not goanna make it no matter what you do

One of these days I’m goanna wake up 
And I’ll take a look a look around and say I’ve had enough
And I’ll take all the bad advice
That I’ve been hearing all of life
And I’ll decide to ignore all the pessimists around me
