Ballad For Alma (Guitar solo)

"Distanced" is a reflective ballad that captures the beauty and heartache of a long-distance relationship, drawing parallels with the infinite expanses of space, and the need for connection stifled by the realities of time and space. With spacey guitar tones and melancholic vocals, The Day Afters blend wistful lyrics with a modern indie sound. Perfect for late-night reflection.

Lyrics:
It’s the Distance - and the time we squandered, the days we found were- quickened.
A rhythm - as we break in two again, smash into ourselves - listen….   

If you want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When  you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

Absence - makes the heart grow fonder But my thoughts still wander - still with you
This system - demands you follow, Makes you swallow - puts us in this queue

If want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

I Miss you - the earth is harder, the sun feels farther than it used to - and we’re just passing through

Trying to read you - I can't tell
Trying to reach you - No one’s there

CHORUS
You put 
You put me on a pedestal
And how 
How hard 
How hard was the fall 

VERSE 1
You saw me when 
I had the view 
lost in the 
infinite 
And when you tried 
Tried to take me 
take me back 
was a feat 
Infinite, couldn’t hear, I kept lost on the stars. 

VERSE 2
Trying to get back 
what I never had 
lost my self 
desert land 
I try to cling 
Cling to your voice
But the wind 
dissolved it
But the wind
Dissolved it into a 
thousand notes. 

VERSE 3
Look at that bird 
Flying away 
With fast flap 
flapping wings
You should watch twice 
Twice and hard 
To believe
It was me
It was me, must watch hard
Flapping wings
Flying away. 

ENDING
Never look in to the dreamer’s eye
Never look , but, but you do.

How Hard Was The Fall (with DelhyA and Neno J)

Remember those awkward days of our youth? A sort of wasteland of not-quite-adult but not a kid? Testing out style, language, gestures, attitude, hair styles, likes and dislikes, romances, tongue-tied moments of embarrassment. All of these years eventually sorted itself out and we headed out into adulthood, with  more or less determination to be successful. Or was that a fear of being unsuccessful that guided us? Tumultuous times. Awkward.

Lyrics:
The Awkward Squad

    Why don’t you mind your business? Like I mind mine
    Why dontcha get ya finger out? And tap it in time
    Why do you throw a tantrum? And huff and puff away
    And when you’re outa your depth…you simply sail away!

    Who-hoo-hoo…The awkward squad (x2)

    I don’t like to look at you…You make me feel quite queer
    You make me feel uncomfortable… When you sat “Hello       dear”
    I don’t like your haircut…Don’t like your clothes
    Don’t like the way, a dew-drop hangs off your… nose!
    Awk, Awk...The awkward squad

    Awk, Awk…You’re in the awkward squad (x2)

    I dance just like a donkey…A donkey with three legs
    I never look you in the eye…Because it makes me …blush
    I st/st/st/stumble over all my words…Forever full of              shame
    And now I come to look at you…I know you’re just the          same!
    Awkward…The awkward squad

    Awkward…I’m in the awkward squad (x2)

Awkward Squad

This is a comic song that I wrote in 2021 during the pandemic. It's very basic, me playing an old rock & roll kinda song. Very light and funny! It's kinda structured like an old Chuck Berry song, the pioneering poet of Rock & Roll! Sorry about the vocal, I did my best! The video is brand new, finished it a few months ago. The video follows that storyline pretty closely and it's humorous. It's about moments that make you shrug your shoulders and say "why even bother?" I hope everybody likes it. Thanks for stoping by and leave a comment. Cheers!🍻🥂

“MAKES ME WONDER”

I CRAWLED OUT OF BED WITH A HEADACHE IN MY EYE,      
MY MOUTH FELT LIKE A DESERT,      
MY BRAIN FELT CHICKEN-FRIED,        
STUBBED MY TOE ON THE DRESSER,                   
SO HARD IT MADE ME CRY,      
HUMM MAKES ME WONDER, MAKES ME WONDER WHY,      
MAKE ME WONDER WHY, THE HELL DO I, EVEN TRY!

WHEN IT COMES TO DATING WOMEN, I'M LAST IN MY CLASS,      
GET ALL TONGUE-TIED AND SWEATY,       
ALWAYS FUMBLING THE PASS,       
BRING THEM SWEETS AND FLOWERS,      
THEY JUST LOOK AT ME AND LAUGH,      
HUMM MAKES ME WONDER, MAKES ME WONDER WHY,      
MAKES ME WONDER WHY, THE HELL DO I, EVEN TRY!
           
GOD ALMIGHTY,           
YOU KNOW I'VE NEVER ASKED FOR MUCH,           
IT AIN'T RIGHT, EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT,             
EVERYBODY GIVES ME THE BRUSH,
     
I STRUGGLE THROUGH THE NIGHT,     
I STUMBLE THROUGH THE DAY,      
PUT MY CLOTHES ON INSIDE OUT, MY SHOES ON THE WRONG WAY,     
MY FAMILY HAVE DISOWNED ME,         
AND MY FRIENDS ALL MOVED AWAY,     
HUMM MAKES ME WONDER, MAKES ME WONDER WHY,     
MAKES ME WONDER WHY, THE HELL DO I, EVEN TRY!

GOD ALMIGHTY,           
YOU KNOW I'VE NEVER ASKED FOR MUCH,           
IT AIN'T RIGHT, EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT,             
EVERYBODY GIVES ME THE BRUSH,
     
I STRUGGLE THROUGH THE NIGHT,     
I STUMBLE THROUGH THE DAY,      
PUT MY CLOTHES ON INSIDE OUT, MY SHOES ON THE WRONG WAY,     
MY FAMILY HAVE DISOWNED ME,         
AND MY FRIENDS ALL MOVED AWAY,     
HUMM MAKES ME WONDER, MAKES ME WONDER WHY,     
MAKES ME WONDER WHY, THE HELL DO I, EVEN TRY!     
MAKES ME WONDER WHY, THE HELL DO I, EVEN TRY!

Slo Burn (but Getting Faster)

More than 30 years ago, I went to a concert of a band from the neighbourhood. If memory serves, they played a tune called "Tanz der Spurrillen" - a stub of which I vaguely remember. Or so I think. That stub now became the theme of this piece.

Reminiscing

Jack Hammer - Wild Christopher & Unguided Express

Cast of Characters:

 

Cgmaness – @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – bass, guitar, synth, main drums, percussion, composition, production and mix

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–  electric sitar

Llanpsych-- @llanpsych -- Tez – electric guitar

J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ-- organ and electric piano

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

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – traditional gourd form body sitar and lap steel


 This is a song that Chris wrote on the drums, bass, and guitar and shared with the collective. We all love working on Chris's songs, and got to work on it even more enthusiastically than usual. Josh was up first with his lap steel, which he weaves throughout. He also added the sitar at the beginning and the acoustic sitar at the end. Stephen stepped in and added the gnarly electric sitar at the end. JJ also made his presence heard by adding the thrilling organ and electric piano throughout. Ken then augmented Chris's original drums with his own in expert fashion. Last, but not least, Tez added his electric guitat magic to the stew, as well. 

  Since Chris brought this song to the group, and is a fine producer, he did the honors of the mix and production. 

  This is our latest with Chris, whose music we all adore. If you dig this, you should go check out his page, as it contains lots of wonders to hear. We all hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an OK lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement"! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our voices!👍😎✌🏼.
