Political involvement is always risky in art, some prefer not to get involved, some seem a bit too radical (Waters?). You boldly say what you think, but you do it efficiently using allusions, references and metaphors. I think that you are, first of all, a brilliant and skillful songwriter, and then a musician. Which makes you unique as a creator, because there are definitely more musicians singing about nothing than real poets. You definitely belong to the latter. Great music in every aspect. Bravo!

So sad, so true...and the West played its part enabling all this financially

I love the folksy feel to this. Feels peaceful, but angry. Just like I like my folk.

I like listening to you, this song, so true and so sad.

Thank you for telling what you think so true.

Your voice is full of poetry, peace and is the perfect complement to your wonderful guitar. I'm really enjoying your music. Thank you very much for sharing .

completely engrossing...pulled me in from all distractions to focus on listening...so good.

The When I Was Isosolated Soundtrack

This is about the "Lonestar cowboy". The last of the traditional dying breed of cowboys in the state of Texas.
Phil Bowen on: 12 string acoustic guitar, Fender strat, steel guitar ,  keyboards and vocals. 
Engineered, mixed and produced- Phil Bowen  
Lyrics
Every little turn
takes you on a different road.
Every little turn 
takes you where the cowboys rode.

Every single road
leads you to a different place.
Every single road
is like an obstacle race. 

They call him the Lonestar cowboy
out in the sun and rain.
They call him the Lonestar cowboy.
It’s all, yeh its all, in his name. 

Every little turn
you can see him in the corner of your eye
Every little turn 
there’s a backdrop of a Texan sky. 

Rising with the morning sun
he brushes down the dust and grit.
He feels the sweat on his brow,
you can see he’s not counterfeit. 

They call him the Lonestar cowboy out in the sun and rain.
They call him the Lonestar cowboy. It’s all, in his name. 
They call him the Lonestar cowboy. It’s all, in his name. 
They call him the Lonestar cowboy. It’s all, yeh its all, in his name.

The legend of the Dutchman's mine

Lonestar cowboy

Lonestar Cowboy

Glitzernde Gestalten

Five vocalists and the question of how they feel about the region in which they live, while they write their lines.
Plus a guitarist, bass, synths and drums and a bit of mixing.
Sounds simple, it is from the idea, but the time until such a project is really finished passes quickly ... from the beginning to the completion it took almost half a year. 
Now I am happy to have brought everything to a good end.

Many thanks to all involved for the commitment and friendship. 
Have fun listening - yours bitzone

Stoney

it doesn't matter if I tell you which sky I'm from

Couch 

Time often goes real slow
When the vitamin D starts to feel real low
From January to May 
Each meal got dough 
Cause the rain still flows  
As I stay in doors 
And my melanin foregoes any hope that it shows
In the summertime 
I’m just sitting and waiting 
Till we’ll get to grow
Sprout my head out and reveal from below
Hello this is Portland

Oven Fresh The Chef

From the mountains to the valleys from the lows to the peaks.
From the loudest to the calloused to your soul it will speak.
From the crowds to the alleys and we roll with the heat.
Never doubt it, grab the chalice and a bowl we will seek.

It's a festival of music. Keep your ear to the streets.
The sunsets are beautiful. It's almost like a dream.
The smokes in the air. Got 'em feeling my aroma.
I'm just another stoner kid here from Arizona. 

Stoney 

I am from the sky
I like to be high
& smile
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you what town I'm from
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

Peter

I sit back and burn
think about past adventures
lessons that I learned
where my future may venture
I just let life do what it do
because no matter what I do
that's what it's gonna do
no need to let the stress level rise
I'd rather write raps wit the red chinky eyes
windows down as we ride
Atlanta representative that's where I write my rhymes

Lady Of Fire Poetry

Seattle is still a great place.There are a lot of people with
big heart here. It's still so soulful. People enjoy the artists and musicians.
And the real raw energy that lives here. It brings people together.
Not to mention its natural green beauty and oh yeah I forgot, the rain.

Stoney

I am from the sky
I like to be high
& smile
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

I am from that place 
one more star in space
I feel pluto's pain
I live, you should try
it's a real good time
it doesn't matter if I tell you which place I'm from

Interview

Interview #Couch King|Oven Fresh TC|Stone Catcherye|Peter Sparker|Lady Of Fire|Fabi

The incantation of a small prayer for the people of Hong Kong, as their tongues are torn out, their ears sealed up and their eyes sewn shut.

When The Middle Kingdom Comes

Turn slowly to the East, All Under Heaven found.
Civilisation’s ancient seat, culture’s origins abound.
Confucian terracotta peace, but put your ear to the ground
Sense the grinding of the teeth, under boots that Mao found.
The Republic of the People, politics' Project Vanity
Bastard child of satan, sired by insanity.
Billionaire communists neatly shun the peasant toil their gold comes from.
Heaven help your precious freedom, when The Middle Kingdom comes.

Butchered in their masses, starved or spirited away.
Cultural Revolution passes back to Great Leap Forward day.
Free speech lying bleedin’ ‘neath the beating of red drums.
Heaven help your precious freedom, when The Middle Kingdom comes.

Taking out the protest man, tank columns in the square.
Ever scratching fair Taiwan, knowing China’s heart is there.
Smothering every voice you can, covid viruses to share.
War on all fronts five-year-planned, to the pacifist’s despair.
The last to offer charity, the first to issue threat.
Pollution choking clarity of third world crippling debt.
See the friendships that she’s workin’ on – why they all have rented guns
Heaven help your precious freedom, when The Middle Kingdom comes.

From the genocide of Uyghurs to the killing fields of war
In Tibets, Vietnams, Koreas, the doctrinal moral whore
Lives and liberties succumb to the broken idealistic thumb,
Heaven help your precious freedom, when The Middle Kingdom comes.

Return of The Siren

we lived in a very small town, where there wasn't much to do.
everybody's favourite place was the lake, people would go there to fish, have a picnic or just hangout with friends.
many years ago when my parents were small children, something bad happened.  only our grandparents generation know what occurred, but they kept the secret between them.
there are only a few people of that generation still alive, now one by one as they pass away they are all taking the secret to their graves.
the only thing they will say is......."don't go down to the lake, after the sun goes down"

Something happened by the lake.

Great pleasure to add some extra notes to the superb track 'Lazzy' by Paploviante and Friends.

Additional: flute duet with horn section interjections (2 tenor saxes and alto sax.)

Me every night
I go out to party
Me every night
They call me

I take my car
With friends
What a waste
Always the same

I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
(Lalalalala) x2

Do not look for me when there is sun
I'm sure I'm not
I am a witness to the night
I don't have to tell you
What are you looking to find me
It's a lifestyle
I wear a brooch moon


I take my car
With friends
What a waste
Always the same

I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
I am a witness to (Lalalalala)
I am a witness to the night
(Lalalalala) x4
