On The Path Of Adventures

Try to comprehend your life
There’s something in my mind
An overwhelming sense of fear
I wish I could describe

And I’m in a rut
Stuck like a rat in a cage 
But I won’t give up
No I won’t give up at this stage

Broken thoughts and twisted lines
All jumbled up inside
There must be some peace to find
It’s no-one’s path but mine 

And I’m in a rut
Stuck like a rat in a cage 
But I won’t give up
No I won’t give up at this stage

We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher
We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher

And I’m in a rut
Stuck like a rat in a cage 
But I won’t give up
No I won’t give up at this stage

We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher
We’re forged in fire
Made a path that takes us higher

Forged In Fire

"This seduction of sadness is a whisper dressed in velvet - it doesn't beg you to listen, it lures you in.

The "candy man" is not cute - he is danger wrapped in comfort
Even pain wears a scent - when it wants you back..
You were warned, but you opened the door anyway"

***
the candy seller is already here..
but..
he's just a part of your hell..

you know..-
he always comes back..
even if - it's not worth it..

when you meet him -

don't say hello..
don't say my - hello!..

yes.

all feelings have become a lie..

- tell me yourself, what to do? ..

you tried to be good
and got tired... - of living...

you left...
left nothing....

we are not braver together
here we are - nobody...
nobody...

result:

sounds like an echo - this emptiness..

be afraid I'm with you..
be afraid I'm with you..

you don't seek salvation -
you drag yourself along...

you hide... -
what's left in your dream...

and you lose everything..

changing places and names...
not experiencing pain -
you get stuck in it yourself..

and - you buy sweets!..

saying -
that all this is not about you!..

but...
the sweets seller is already nearby
and he is only a part of your hell..

he always comes back..
even when you don't need it..

and
how will you greet him

don't say hello!..

hello

***
продавец конфет - уже здесь..
но..
он лишь часть твоего ада..

знаешь..-
он всегда возвращается..
даже если -  не надо..


как встретишь его -

привет не передавай ..

мой -
 привет -
не передавай ..


да.

 все чувства стали ложью..

 - сам скажи как быть ..

ты пытался стать хорошим 
и устал... -

жить...


нам 
ты ...
 не оставил... ничего....

мы -  не смелее вместе 
вот мы и - никто...
никто...
итог..

и звучит эхо - этой пустотой..

бойся я с тобой..
бойся я с тобой..

ты спасения... не ищешь -
тянешь за собой...
за собой...
скрываешь... -
что  осталось в твоём сне...
и всё теряешь..
всё теряешь..

 места и имена меняешь ...
 не пройдя  через боль
 сам в ней застреваешь..
и - покупаешь ..  

говоря -  
что это всё не про тебя..

но...
продавец конфет уже рядом
и он лишь часть твоего ада..

он всегда возвращается..
даже когда не надо ..

и
как  встретишь  его 
 привет не передавай ..

мой - 
привет не передавай ..

хай хх-хай

https://soundcloud.com/33per , my dear donkey fellow sent me this wonderful instrumental, a Big Thank You for that, it was a great pleasure to write and sing along.

AHAB (All Hypocrates Are Basterds)

O-o-ohh, o-o-ohh…
Tell me please…
Is that really happening-ä-ä-ä-äppening ?
Do you feel that too ?

Noone is getting out here
Oh no-no-no-no-noo, o-o-o-o-o-ooh
Noone is getting out here alive

Ohh no
Not even the feckin’ basterds
No, no
Not even those feckin’ basterds

Will survive
Whatever may be the strive

See, because 
Noone is getting out here alive
Not the president
Nor his wife

Whatever may be the strive
That won’t work

Ohh oh 
All hypocrates are basterds 			(AHAB)
Ohh, oh
All autocrates are feckin’ basterds 			

They can fool the people 
For some time,

But,
But,
But,

They can’t fool all the people all the time
Not really …
That’s beyond the line

It’s possible to continuate
To self-determinate
To not participate…

So to say:
I would - and - i would…

And i-i-i-i-i-i-i- would 
And I would… 
I-I-I would…
And i would and I would…
I-I-I would…
I would prefer not to…

Andy Mineo Ft Lecrae VS Young Thug (Dramantic Remix)

On March 25, 2015...My mother suffered a stroke that landed her in the hospital with limited ability to speak and left-side paralysis of her body. I created this track based on my last solitary moment with her there. I decide to wash her hair for the first time; even though I'd washed thousands of people's hair in my profession. She seemed at ease, as I gently ran my fingers thru her sparse gray locks. She just stared out into the bright-blue, sunny sky, while clutching  a small glass heart I'd given her the night before.  I could see thru her beautiful hazel eyes, that there was so much she wanted to say... but couldn't. Yet, I knew how comforting this small gesture was to her. Not having her hair washed, was one of her biggest pet peeves when staying in a hospital. So I knew this was a special moment for us both.  After grooming her hair, I sat beside her and held her only functioning bruised hand. Her fingertips massaged the tip of the glass heart I gave her with what little energy she had left. Her eyes puddled with tears, as I reached over to kiss her forehead and whispered delicately in her ear...."I Love you Momma."

"Do you remember the last time I was with you in this hospital almost 20 years ago, when you had a secret hysterectomy? You were under Anesthesia in the Operating Room and I took an Xray of your abdomen not knowing it was you."  

I was a Radiographer then... estranged from my Mom because she left me to fend for myself at 18 when she found out I was Gay. I didn't know it was my Mom behind the operation bed draping, until I saw the name on her patient chart. I was traumatized! Her abdomen was split wide open and her insides where laying on her chest, while everyone in the Operating Room waited for the developed film to be displayed. I glanced over the sterilized draping to confirm my disbelief. Once the OR staff heard me say "Oh GOD, that's my MOM!"  I was quickly removed from the Operating Room and told to wait for her to be transferred to the recovery room.  Within 30 minutes I was being paged back to the OR because my Mom didn't want to wake up from the surgery.  

"We hadn't spoken for years." I continued.  "The Surgeon asked me to call out your name LOUDLY, to wake your from your deep sleep. I kept screaming out Momma. When you finally opened your eyes, you were so disoriented and visibly upset. You asked why I was yelling at you.  I said you were in the hospital and just had surgery. You looked around the room and insisted that you were not. You claimed you were on a journey to Heaven and that my shouting interrupted you." Tears rolled down her pale, velvety cheek, like the morning dew on a precious flower petal.   

"From that moment on, as you aged into your quietly pained life, you kept reminding everyone that You weren't supposed to be here. For years I  felt guilty for waking you up that day... But, GOD had other plans for you Momma.  You got to see your grandchildren, great-Grandchildren and gifted so many people with love and care... including me. You are the strongest Woman I've ever known. In fact, I know you're fighting really hard right now to stay alive.  But, if all of this is too much pain for you... if you want to let go Momma... It's OK. I forgive you for every hurtful thing you did to me in the past, because I KNOW YOU LOVE ME."  

I can see her struggling to speak, as her oxygen-deprived colored lips quivered; But the tears in her eyes said it all. I kissed her hand ever so gently. "Hush Momma... Don't say a word." I said. 

She closed her moistened eyes peacefully, as her grip on the glass heart lessened... then slowly released it into my palm.  I kissed her lightly on the forehead, as the sweet aroma of Moroccan Oil Conditioner calmed my senses.  She never woke up again... RIP MOMMA.

For Some Strange Reason -With AnandaTuk

Oto-Hime (The Dark Princess)

Coda:
The girl with the jet-black hair, she don't know you as well as you think,
Emeralds, diamonds, seduce your mind cos the flesh is weak.

Verse 1:
The future never-ending, yearning for a change,
But she don't know how and she can't avow, a stranger coming through the door.

Verse 2:
Tall, dark, and a face made-up, blackness in his soul,
She sees his heart, a life apart, destiny coming into view.

Chorus 1:
Dark Princess so patiently, privacy is her game,
With purple eyes, a wicked smile, innocence never came.

Verse 3:
Something to remember, a keepsake full of you,
A jewellery box, the memories lost, she gave it to you with a promise made.

Chorus 2:
Dark Princess, a shadow of me, the image don't suit her face,
Black mascara and modesty, her movement filled with grace.

Middle 16

Verse 4:
I know that you won't listen, I take it from your hand,
But the warning's clear and I don't fear, a hundred years with the turn of a key.

Chorus 3:
Dark Princess, the girl of my dreams, impossible to love,
She takes revenge, done nothing wrong, her virtues lay intact....

Cast of characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar foundational rhythm guitar
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ 
K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums 
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –four string fretless bass 
Llanpsych– @llanpsych –Tez– Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–Fender Nashville Telecaster electric guitar, sitar, mix, master, and production

This song began its life in Poland, where our resident surf rock specialist, Artur, composed it on his guitar. He is a brilliant composer and expert player, so we're always glad to receive music from him. 
  Artur gave it to JJ to start the project, so JJ was first to the trough here, adding his breathy, moving organ throughout. Ken came along shortly after to give the song its heartbeat, adding his triumphant drums. As soon as he had a beat to play to, Josh added his four string fretless bass to the mix, completing the rhythm section. 
  Now it was the other guitarists turn to take a whack at it. Tez was first up, adding the magical the first and third solos, in the verse sections. He also lit up the intro and outro sections with some dynamic guitar solos, as well. Stephen went last, filling in the second and fourth solo sections in the choruses, as well as a textural guitar that you hear throughout most of the song. He also added the exotic sitar you hear in about the middle.
 Once we had it in the bag, we asked Stephen to produce it for us, which he did in his always trained, professional manner. 
  This is the eighth song we've done with Artur over the past about year and a half. We adore his music and him as a person, too. If you dig this song, you should hop over to his page and have a listen in case you're not already familiar. He loves surf music, and wanted to note the passing of surf rock legend, Brian Wilson this week. Wilson was more than just Pet Sounds, although that album is top class. He was a surf rock pioneer, who influenced a whole genre of music; a genre that's near and dear to Artur's heart. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by Surfers Like Us:
We all live between Sun and Moon
Love and Peace
That's all what we do


Between Sun and Moon - The Eclectic Collective and Surfers Like Us

Open

This song sings of love and dreams while listening to the voice of the heart in order to release pain and sadness.

This song is a mix of dark parts about trying to get out of the darkness and positive parts about wanting to convey one's inner voice.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself.Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花) using Synthesizer V.

Voice of Heart

I think of some of the "old timers" that have influenced my life especially when I was a younger man, the stories they shared, the wisdom in those stories if I listened closely, and most sobering, that I'm an old timer myself now.  This song is a bit of a musical portrait of encountering an old timer at a small-town diner and enjoying a bit of food and conversation.  Joining me in this visit is ace pianist and valued collaborator Debra Buesking.  As always, her playing enriches and informs my playing and is totally sympathetic to the theme.  Thank you dear friend for sharing this special musical moment.  Hear more of Debbie's superb composing and playing @debra_buesking. Thanks to George Motz Photography for the track picture.

On a personal note, I appreciate all of you that reached out to me upon hearing about the devastating flood in central Texas that swept away many lives and much property.  It was a worst case scenario happening on one of the busiest weekends of the year.  Amarillo stayed high and dry during the event, but all of us were touched, as was the whole world, upon hearing of the tragedy.  Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
