The Sun Rise

You're almost there
I can hear your song
The birds are happy
Bring beautiful belong
Horizon suspense
From the east
You have your life
Says light of beast

You are the bright
Being of energy
Oh cometh light
So heavenly
Source and seed
New day is woven
What course meanders
In time you shine on

Oh happiness
Keep it there
Clued crafty best
Eyes honoured here
Here is know
We thank your size
Your power is clear
Sun, rise

Hear to grow
Listen to help
Reap what you sow
Grow what you felt
Here is glow
We thank your prize
Oh power clear
The Sun Rise

The Sun Rise

Words and Music Dave Rose
Dedicated to Harry Rose

Lyrics
Harry parked the van and stepped out of the rain
Sat in his chair and lit up a woodbine
A little tight in the chest
A little short of breath
And just like that he was gone

Where were his days in the sun
Away from all this toil and trouble

I hope he knew we loved him so much
He was a legend to us

Where were his days in the sun
away from all this toil and trouble

Harry

More  dystopian  tech musing about how we will manage this growing power of AI,   using the  Original Star Trek Episode Where No Man Has Gone Before ....Hopefully we get it right... 


Where No Man Has Gone Before

I'm a doctor
Not a prophet
I wonder how it came to this
A little nature 
A little nurture
I'll be a song psychiatrist 
Kinda hokey but you get the gist

Was it father?
Was it mother?
With their foolish and their fallacies
Computer Nation
AI creation
They put a bunch of little devils in me
We've gone giddy on the gadgetry

Erratic fanatics 
We rage, we rile up 
So routine, the calls for war
Id inner states to sublimate
Let's take a trip to Where No Man Has Gone Before

…..Wait there's more…….

Once a doctor
Now a defector
With a push ‘n’ prompt electro-fist
Paranoia meets persuasion
Money maker on the precipice 
Gone from licensed to the ludicrous 

It's so cinematic 
God makes Man makes God to call for war
All urethaned and baked our brains
Shall we wake them and go to Where No Man Has Gone Before

Where's the Human?
Here's the New Man
The doctor now a fantasist 
AI shaker
Body faker
No longer the psychiatrist
Even Captain Kirk has been dismissed
Algorithms trump the Altruist 
When I'm cranky then I get like this
Gonna Meta-meet my therapist

Faith in Friend

Faith in fire
Faith in love
Faith in real
Faith to sing of
Faith in start
Faith in end
Faith be part
Good faith in friend

Faith in straight
Faith in narrow
Faith direct
Faith in bone marrow
Faith in Earth
Faith in You
Faith of heart
Faith in true

Faith in family
Faith to learn
Faith found happily
Faith fused to fern
Faith in mates
Faith in fun
Faith for the gates
Faith rules this run

Faith in ice
Faith in air
Faith in rice
Faith in dare
Faith new start
Faith, don't pretend
Faith in heart
Good faith in friend

Faith in Friend

Verse 1
Was never taught how to play piano
I just played around with the keys
All I know is there’s a bunch of white ones
And some black ones in between

Ones on the right keep going up
While the left keep going down
But the middle is the sweetest spot
That makes the sweetest sound

Chorus
Hayley made me
So I wrote this silly song
Cause she thought it’d be kinda funny
And man she wasn’t wrong

So I’ll sing these silly words 
While I’m banging on these keys
I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing
But I’m glad Hayley made me

Verse 2
Hayley loves making art and music
And she loves praising Jesus too
Loving liberty and freedom
And you know that I love it too

She prefers playing her piano
I prefer strumming my guitar
But we can do whatever
Cause we are superstars

Chorus
Hayley made me
So I wrote this silly song
Cause she thought it’d be kinda funny
And man she wasn’t wrong

So I’ll sing these silly words 
While I’m banging on these keys
I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing
I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing
I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing
But I’m glad Hayley made me

Lyrics (by Stonerjazz & Jo Richter):

Everybody on the bus, Gus and Stu
and some others from Uriah, too, made up their minds
packed up their kinds and kith and kin
and decided unattachedly to pack it in
and Johnny, all nostalgic for the solitude of melancholic bedsheet ascetism, said
"We should go to Zed" and smiled in mild remembrance
"I saw a crack a couple light years back in the space time continuum,
with a sign that read, Zed, 50 miles straight ahead.
We might get there in time to liberate my lost accordion
from the clutches of the local constabulary


Uriah had a riot
when the dumplings disappeared
trampled by the herds of lust, desire
lampooned by the nerds of rust and fire
gobbled up by fast food throats and street flock trucks
and someone farted, burped and said they wanted seconds
and that was when the trouble started and ursurped the mental landscape
and who’s to blame but some minions from that moppet, Alfred Rufus Smith
who to his simian bewilderment was headed back to earth
in that stolen starship that he stole again, restole and stole for just another time
(the way rebirthing beings rack up karma by incarnating ceaselessly)
from the only holy spaceport of that karmic spacelord on the potted planet
frowned upon by Gus and Stu and all the riders of experience on the nirwana bus--

--"And so it was , they crossed the boundry into Zed, and landed lightly on the purple plain
and when they did, all the holograms on board the bus turned into real Girls and Boys
Would love to say things turned out well but what the hell , who can tell
Uziel Wivress, Neal Nic and Nadia, jeff and Jo, Stephen Tot and Terry too enjoyed the view as the bus it hit the ground and settled down
in the golden grass near the end of June--
Gus and all the crew were happy too  having arrived safe and sound
 without a scratch on that sacred patch of rock in space--

see the tarmac flotilla in karmic espandrilles
sharpen their common intuition
and like expanding armadillos
overcome respective inhibition
and cross across the crucial rift and ,riffing, raft the cosmic shift
and wake up in the place where Johnny is remembered as the bringer of the dumpling holy and the player
of the  golden instument divine -till the end of time.

The Quest for the Holy Dumpling - End of the Line - The Smoking Trout

It just sems all too sweet to be real....

Lyrics

and I breath
this tainted air
i feel my own nightmare

it just seems all too sweet to be real
it just seemed to be real
but i don't feel that

and now i'm stuck in this shitty situation

there is no way out 
there is no way back  
there is no way back


Had an idea for a vocal and mixed a little further.

Might expand further but I quite like it how it is...?

Please feel free to let me know what you think as its really useful and always appreciated.

I hope you enjoy
