Dedicated to the memory of a dear friend whose “heart was a valley deep” and “mind was a mountain steep.”  There are many references in this song to the play “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett, which I directed in the 90’s. In that production my friend embodied the character of Estragon perfectly and taught the world something through his presence both on and off stage. His big heart, intelligence, and laughter forever lives my heart and the hearts of many.

This piece was created during a Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency. Guitar music composed and performed by Bryan McDaniel.

Lyrics:

All grows dim, time is winding down
My cheeks stay hovered over a puddle of brown
The voices outside of this cramped little box
These choices i've made to breed these cramped up blocks

The shit bubbles burst and trap all the flies
A concoction so twisted, Only someone like Bill Nye
Can decipher all these lies
Can scythe all of these cries
as this pit of stench boils in the middle of July

Out there the souls, eager for pressure to burst
Through their minds like a submarine tank submersed
Parades gather in the grass for the show to start
While these waves slowly rip my brain apart

A wetness caresses my hang lo mein
This water is rising am I going insane?
It tickles my demons but it feels so ripe
There's always a bit of shit at the end of the pipe!

I'm in a fecal position where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
Where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
The slimy hand of stench, Pulls me right down
In a puddle of madness, many shades of brown
NO NO NO NO NOOO!
Get a little taste of the waste in the swamp!

When we were young.

The latest from The Smoking Trout,  this is "Get On The Bus".  
I had a great time with the crew on this one.  Terry did a masterful job pulling all the elements into a cohesive track. 
Enjoy this one, it's a bus ride to infinity!

The Smoking Trout collaborative is back with another installment in The Quest for the Holy Dumpling (follow the whole story here: soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea/sets/quest-for-the-holy-dumpling). This time I partnered with Terry/Tea R. Sea on the production, and we're featuring Nadia Selvaggi who also joined us on 'amanita muscaria'. Thank you Jeff, Uziel, Terry, and Nadia for another awesome creative experience, this one was a trip to work on!

Lyrics

Get on the bus get on the bus, Get on the bus wlth us
c'mon c'mon get on the bus
There's Gus, who drives the bus and he does Everything for us
He's got the peddle down--

and all the band and larry mary sid and johnny too and that's to jjust to name a few
and all of you who have the eyes and ears to hear and see-
all of us are on that bus Telepathically
so you had better be ln the vicinity of the bus
whose designated destination ls infinity and all points ln between

Believe you me, there ls no comfort or relief ln Clarity
Truer words were never spoken and even though we're all broken
here's a little token of the love l'm feeling for the instant beauty of the moment

Everyone ls psychedelic from those purple Mlcrodots
Fuel ls burning under stars so bright
on the bus, 10 feet off the ground
blacktop slippin under us at half the speed of light

Now lt comes flowln down, lt washes over me
something l can hear, but l can't exactly see-
Cans are Blarin, l'm just starin
hearin things we can't believe
music soothin, lt's not Taxing so relaxing
making music with some friends of mine
making noises so Delightful-
on the bus, where betrayal ls the only thing
that's not allowed

Come along, you're all lnvlted to rlde the bus wlth us
get on the bus get on the bus
c'mon get on the bus
don't make a Fuss
Just get on the bus

(Spoken word samples are readings from The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe)

Get On The Bus! (HOLY DUMPLING #4) w/ Stonerjazz, Uziel, Tea R. Sea, Nadia Selvaggi

"Backfire" is a song about false friends and wishing that their toxic shoots fire back at them. However, your wish stays a wish, because your pride and dignity keeps you from causing harm. 
Lemonbrew started the collaboration with a catchy and energetic rock progression. I rearranged the song and wrote lyrics and a vocal melody. Later, Flinn joined us to rock out the vocals. Thank you very much for collaborating, it's been a lot of fun!

==== LYRICS ====

You wasted my precious time
on spreading rumours and lies
Shooting me in  a drive-by
drawing me into riptide

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey,
I wanna... 

Watch how burn your fingers and...
build a castle on quicksand
or wade through wasted land
(Of course I wanna...)

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

So I light up a light
To escape from the twilight
Not ready for the limelight
Not ready to start a fight

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey!

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you make me do!

One day, I gonna be tough
give way for vengeance and grudge
I'll push you into the sludge
Where there is noone to judge

And I wanna... 

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you made me do!

Backfire

Leo is the penultimate piece of the Concept and it is the one that gives the most charge and energy to the whole work♌

You can listen the whole Concept on:
https://on.soundcloud.com/dRH8R

Cover Art design Rosa Scognamiglio 

A song about the person who inspires you to be created and you admire in everyway and that’s why She Is My Muse. 
This track as blended indie electro pop with old school rap. The Conscience of Kings project allows us to experiment with so many different concepts and have great fun doing it. 
This is a completely three way collaboration with Noobly taking care of the instrumental and production/producing, me vocals/ lyrics and Sdot rapping to his own lyrics also. 
The featured rapper Sdot is a young midlands talent that as been praised by many established rap artists for his live performances and YouTube music videos.
If this is your thing then you can watch his music videos on YouTube and catch him on all major streaming services simply type in Sdot. Really worth a listen and watch. 
It’s a totally different territory to any other collaboration we have done before. 
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did creating it .

( for Nadine )

Scotty: lead, harmonica, tambourine 

if i broke your heart
i'd break it slow and sure
i'd send flowers filled with bees
and i'd break it tenderly
i'd send you letters, long
full of tender poetry
if i broke your heart, maybe
you would see

i loved you all along
the seaside and the shore,
like the waves that break upon the love 
that you endure
like autumn leaves that fall
on the grass , no longer sweet
i'd keep you all alone
to wonder, how to sleep

your dreams all full of hope
that we would meet again
up on that road, down by the riverbend
we'd never ever awake
and i would sing to you
if i broke your heart
i'd keep it with me too

If I Broke Your Heart (jesus vegas/QB Bills)

The Little Mermaid – The Shipwreck in the Storm 
September 2023
Duration: 2:00
Painting by Marie-Jose Payannet
Music for Danse Etoile Ballet (www.danseetoile.org) who will be performing The Little Mermaid Ballet January 2024 in Colorado.
On her 15th birthday, the Little Mermaid swam to the ocean surface. A large ship with three masts lay calmed on the water nearby.  The Little Mermaid swam close to the cabin windows and saw a number of well-dressed people within, among them was a young prince, the most beautiful of them all.... Soon, the waves rose high and heavy clouds darkened the sky: a dreadful storm was approaching. The waves rose high as mountains and the ship dived like a swan between them. At length, the ship groaned and creaked, the thick planks gave way under the lashing of the sea, the main mast snapped asunder like a reed and the ship lay over on her side, the water rushing in..... Paraphrased from "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen.
