One of my favourite genres starting from the 80s and 90s with Aussie bands like Beasts of Bourbon, the Johnnys, and others. This playlist has grown a bit and I will acknowledge that some of the toons I've added may not be strictly considered cowpunk. Oh well, I enjoy listening to them together lol!

THE AGE OF MEMORIES AS LUCKY PEARLS

Just Like Fire Would (by the Saints)

In memoriam, the bombing of Guernica, Spain, April 26, 1937. A lamentation in music.

And in 2024, for the injured, displaced, and departed around the world as invading forces of tyranny rain down death and destruction upon innocent people.

I literally cried as I updated my old composition about the bombing of Guernica. 

Originally composed in GarageBand, I finished the first version of this song on April 26, 2013, not consciously aware that the date was the anniversary of the atrocity committed by fascists against civilians during the Spanish Civil War. I had had ambitions to create an animated short about its history and Picasso’s famous painting when I could afford the technology. So my first step was to use available resources and create the music, which I did 11 years ago. I have yet to produce the animation. Maybe someday. The cover art gives you an idea as to how I envisioned the graphics for the animated short.

This Guernica composition is my first attempt at composing neoclassical music. As a girl I would sing and hum made-up symphonies as I conducted an imaginary orchestra. I’ve got hundreds of improvised concertos, sonatas, fugues, and arias deep in my memory banks that sometimes creep into my contemporaneous music.

This week, as the anniversary of Guernica approached, I imported my old music file into my current DAW and refreshed it, adding French horn, the first instrument I played as a young student. I also added audio of propeller planes recorded live in March and April 2024. And I pushed the previous violin and cello parts to the limit, so if you hear a screeching violin or a groaning cello, it’s intentional; war gives millions of reasons to scream and wail. The composition’s 8-chord structure is repeated as if to state the obvious — we, humans, have yet to contain our violence individually and collectively. We witness and experience the horror of mass murder and war around the globe. Every. Damn. Day.

I realize my song probably isn’t going to be a favorite for listeners, not my usual chill music. But I’m also a firm believer in the idea that sunlight is the best disinfectant. With this music about Guernica and the history of 1937, I am reminded how far we’ve come, and yet, how little we’ve changed. But change we must, and I believe humanity will change for the better. The question is when.

Up All Night

Fisherman's Daughter

The Irish Rover is a traditional Irish folk song. The first rendition I heard was from the 80s by the Pogues and the Dubliners, in the folk punk style of the Pogues. I think my rendition is a bit more folk and a bit less punk than the Pogues. The Pogues also have a famous Christmas song though it's not this one.

Explicit lyrics:
I think i had too much last night
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

Another lesson for trying to avoid reality
another trip into the dark insanity

The devil is a bottle and it's rotten to the core
Bring the fckn bottle, until i reach the "shore"
Listen UP everyone i got news for you
Bring this fckn bottle, and no one's gonna, no one's gonna, no one's gonna get harmed!

i think this headache don't wanna leave me
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

The Devil is a Bottle

Nat King Cole's version - All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth punk rock cover.

"All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" is a novelty Christmas song written in 1944 by Donald Yetter Gardner (1913-2004) while teaching music at public schools in Smithtown, New York. 

The song was originally recorded by Spike Jones & His City Slickers on December 6, 1947, with lead vocal by George Rock. That version reached the top of the pop charts in 1948, and again in 1949. The song has also been recorded by numerous other singers and performers, including Ray Stevens, George Strait, Danny Kaye with The Andrews Sisters, The Platters, Dread Zeppelin, The Kelly Family,  Nat King Cole (reportedly Gardner's favorite version), The Chipmunks, the Hampton String Quartet, The Three Stooges, and Count von Count of Sesame Street.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year my friends!!!

lyrics:
I say let's get outta here, let'go where noone's near
and don't let fear reign on you

I say let's climb the highest mountains, let's drink from the holy fountains
and don't go back anymore

Don't take anything for granted, now the world's gone haunted
and this is what i say , from now on...


Grateful, not stranded
faithful like there's no tomorrow
ohhhhhh ohhhhhh

not dreadful nor abandoned
not shameful like there's no tomorrow
ohhhhh ohhhhhh

You got scared, trembling from fear
Like there's no one here, but you've got all that you need

material, this useless serial, your soul is imperial
don't let vanity make your demons feed.

No Tomorrow

fresh out of the frying pan, and into the fire...
here it is the new indirect collab.
an invitation for you to use it and place some of your stuff in it !
it hasn't to be only a solo, it can be everything.
so we can make a playlist!https://soundcloud.com/noxpox14/sets/noxpox-the-missing-solo-in

Slipspace (feat. Kristopher Bolin)

Moonlight (slowed & reverb)

I’ve been living this life … for so long, 
Still ain’t… used … to being myself. 
There’s a lot of things … I’m sorry for what I’ve done. 
Sometimes…I’d trade all my tomorrows, 
To live … one day … of yesterday 
But that ain’t happenin’ … no matter how I try ,all I get is, 
Regrets… Sorrys, …and Whys 

Angry at a lot of things …so sorry …for some 
But it’s too late  to change the past.
Can’t erase the things that’s done. 
Baby, …If I hurt, you even once  …made you cry,
I’d do anything I could …to make it right. 

You asked me WHY so many times,  
Why … I would never settle down. 
I always told you …why,  “WHY you need to do this now”? 
So, you left me … now I’m alone. 
Guess you answered … me so well. 
You left me standing there, with one last word GOODBYE, and all my, 
Regrets… Sorrys, …and Why’s. 

Why was I so foolish? Look at what I’ve done. 
Had the whole world in my hand, 
Can’t outrun the past I’ve run. 
I’d turn the clock back, … to begin, … here tonight. 
So, I’m writing you this song with words I cry. (this time I cry)
Can’t find enough words… in my emptiness, …tonight, 
to make it right, … to make it right. 
Just my, … Regrets, …  Sorrys and Why’s …(wo, wo, wo, why’s). 
MY  REGRETS, …, MY SORRYS, … and … WHY’S.

Regrets, Sorrys, and Why (still Rough 2nd take)

Lyrics:

You tighten your grip that you have on me
Iam so scared 
Baby , why can't you see
That you got me exactly where you want..
When you say you're leaving
I beg you Please baby, don't!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
with no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

You can take all my money
Spend it your way
You can take whatever you want
As long as you stay..
You don't have to love me
Or tell me that you do
You can do what the hell you want
As long as i have you!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me , baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

Cast of Characters:

Computart – @computart – guitar, vocals/whistling, composition

Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – mix and production 

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and percussion

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1 –-four string fretless bass and mandolin

This song started as a recording of Computart playing the guitar and singing/whistling to a metronome, which you can find raw on his page. Having worked together before on a song called The Shining, the Frenchman reached across the pond again and asked me, the Yank, if I would like to add anything to this. This style of music being one of my favorites, I jumped at the chance. Of course, I got Ken involved right away because every great song needs a great drummer. I came up with a bass line, to which Ken added drums, to which I in turn redid my bass line, as is our usual process. I then added the mandolin. Then, Ken added the hand drums to put the icing on the cake. Tez was generous enough to produce and mix this for us, and we feel like he got it to sound like we were all playing in the same room together. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting it together. You can find more of Computart's music, as well as this one, for sale on his BandCamp page, which is right here.computart.bandcamp.com/track/plaisir

They eagerly licked and probed every curve and crevice of me with their long slimey vibrating blue tongues. . . and let me tell you, dear listener, I loved it, I loved it, I loved it!”

I thought it would be easy to love
That it would only be good
We have distance
We're close, we touch...
I hate you! 
But I love you so much..

Chorus:
You can fall from a hill
You can fall from a mountain
But the hardest you ever fall 
Is in love..

Chorus...

Lots of ups and downs
One moment we're high up
The next on the ground..
Oh, I have fallen so many times
But never as hard
As falling for you..

Chorus..

One moment we're yelling at each other
The next we're making love..
Oh Baby, don't stop telling me
That I am the one..

Chorus..

You make me laugh
You make me cry
Many times you make me wonder: why?
But I love you so much, Baby
I keep falling, and falling for you...

MEMOIRES DE VIE

Le temps passe lentement
La roue tourne comme on dit
Mais le passage des ans
Ne créé jamais l'oubli.
Les années qui avancent
Et continuent toujours
En prennent de l'importance
Dans ce qui fait l'amour.
Et plus on prend de l'âge
Conscient évidemment
Dans nos têtes voyagent
L'ancien et le présent.
Dans les jours qui vieillissent
Et voient passer l'antan
Tous les temps qui se glissent
Doucement et pourtant.

Il reste dans nos mémoires
Amour et belles histoires.
Tout ce qui fait la vie 
Réchauffe nos cœurs aussi

Il reste dans nos mémoires
Amour et belles histoires.
Tout ce qui fait la vie 
Réchauffe nos cœurs aussi

Bien s'aimer, se comprendre
C'est un toujours un voyage
Et on se laisse prendre 
A s'écrire de belles pages

Sur la terre en plaisir
De grands moments passés
Pleurs ou éclats de rires
Nous ont fait exister.

Revivre dans ses pensées
Ne voyant que lueurs
Et jamais oublier
Que c'était le bonheur.

La vie suivant son sort
Nous laisse de bons moments
Si jamais on s'endort
Sans des mots et pourtant

Il reste dans nos mémoires
Amour et belles histoires.
Tout ce qui fait la vie 
Réchauffe nos cœurs aussi

MEMORIES OF LIFE

Time passes slowly
The wheel turns as they say
But the passage of years
Never create oblivion.
The years that advance
And still continue
take on importance
In what makes love.
And the older we get
Obviously aware
In our heads travel
The old and the present.
In the days that grow old
And see yesteryear pass by
All the times that slip by
Slowly and yet.

He remains in our memories
Love and beautiful stories.
Everything that makes life
Warm our hearts too
He remains in our memories
Love and beautiful stories.
Everything that makes life
Warm our hearts too

Love each other well, understand each other
It's always a journey
And we let ourselves be taken
To write beautiful pages

On earth in pleasure
Great times past
Crying or bursts of laughter
Made us exist.

Revive in your thoughts
Seeing only lights
And never forget
That it was happiness.

Life following its fate
Leave us good times
If we ever fall asleep
Without words and yet

He remains in our memories
Love and beautiful stories.
Everything that makes life
Warm our hearts too

LAVA Cover French (original Pixar vidéo link with Eng Subtitle)

An old song I wrote back in the 90s with a rock n roll band I was in at the time. It has a kinda cowpunk vibe which was popular in Australia at the time. It's a kind of tried and true western story told in many western films lol. 

Originally, played with the band, it was a rock n roll tune bordering on hard rock. Played acoustically, I think it comes out a little bit country. 

I hope you enjoy it!
