Superb manipulations and sonic goings-on.

Very intruiging experimental work ... sonic bliss

I stopped making music after Covid changed my life pretty drastically in a variety of ways. I'm finally starting to feel the groove again. This track was done in Garageband with some loops and sounds and the lyrics are meant to remind myself and anyone else who listens to this song that we're not alone and to stay groovy basically lol - I like putting uplifting reminders in music so that when I get it stuck in my head later it reminds me to stay positive. I didn't have the adaptor for my microphone so I just used my laptop mic to improvise - when your flow dies and you feel it spark up again - don't worry about getting everything perfect - just let yourself find the flow and dive in <3

Lyrics:
Even at home we’ve got the love
We’re not alone so stand on up yeah
Keepin the vibe up can be tough
So take a deep breath and breathe the funk
(x2)

Breathe it in!

The gist of the lyrics:
Separation is an illusion. We are all connected by the thread of love that brought us to this plane of existence and are woven into the tapestry of its incomprehensible beauty. Stand up and dance with it all if you want :) Breathe in the good vibes and keep the groove alive <3

This song was inspired by a few different things. The last time I was feeling open enough to come out of my shell a bit and make happy sounding music was a day when the music I was working on started to have a funky flow and I noticed a correlation between my level of happiness and the sound of the music. I began associating funky music with happiness in a way. However, the last day I worked on this happier music, I started going through some really difficult times. I stopped working on music all together for some time and when I returned to it, I mainly used it as a medicine to ease the pain from the trauma I was experiencing. The music allowed me to turn my focus away from the trauma and onto something therapeutic instead. After time passed and I began to feel my soul recollecting itself, I aligned with my amazing partner and fell in love. It wasn't too long after that when the Covid-19 paradigm shift happened. My daughter and I moved to a different state to live with my partner and experienced a few losses and Covid related difficulties, but overall we're happy and I feel happier than I've ever been before and it's starting to come out in the sounds and vibes of the music I work on. My partner listens to a variety of music but I really like the funky stuff he listens to a lot lol and he's always dancing to some song in his head and it's really hard not to smile when I see him doing that - it got me in a happy music mood so I decided to try an electronic funk song.

The lyrics were inspired after listening to Ram Dass while processing the fear and sadness from the Covid-19 shift: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWSWmyWZjs : "Instead of responding to each fear specifically" - "cultivate the other part of yourself that is connected to all things" - so I remembered music and how it has always brought people together and acts as a vessel of connection - and I thought about how we're all connected and how nothing can change that and I wanted to put the reminder alongside some tunes.

Lyrics:
Look around I’ve seen this before
Clear as the mud on the door
and i know that I’m wrong
I can be so headstrong

I know, it can feel so strange
I know, it’s time to make a change

working on what’s inside
not hiding behind my pride
And I know I’m wrong
not going to scrape along

You know,  how I feel today
You Know,    never will betray

I’m so ready for what’s a head
I believe everything you said
And I know I was wrong
Holding you I feel so strong

I know  I’m in a better place
I know  My heart is full of grace

You know,  how I feel today
You Know,    never will betray

Taken For Granted

Rich, pampered girl from Abilene, Texas meets a trail-worn cowboy with a checkered past, and they head north to avoid her family's scrutiny. It's a doomed relationship from the start, of course, and only lasts until the snow breaks.  Abilene comes calling - she heads back home, and the cowboy does what all cowboys in trouble do (at least in the songs I listen to) - he splits for the border.  True story?  Maybe...
 
The timeline in the song is a little convoluted - begins in the middle and then back to the start, then to the end and back to the middle etc.,..   But you old cowhands will figure it out.

Female voices are Julia Avery and Madison Carr.
 
And the winter would pass......
