-- LYRICS --

VERSE 1 (original words by Stonerjazz):

Enjoy and deploy the decoy for the marvelous girl and boy with the dog with the bell who can tell it's a plot or a ploy for Roy the despicable despot in the mysterious land of ZED.
Sleeping in my bed like the dead with the fed who breaks down the door with the might of the law and a mechanized Saw.
Where pity is scarce and money is gone for good, misunderstood in mysterious days and weeks ahead
To be led to the spot where they chop off the heads of all those that disagree that the kids should be free, just around the bend from where the horses run free and there's barely a tree to be seen...

VERSE 2 (A warriors mantra from the book "The Eagles Gift" by Carlos Castaneda):

I'm already given to the powers that rule my fate, and I cling to nothing
so I will have nothing to defend..
I have no thoughts, so I will see
and I fear nothing, so I will remember myself
detached and at ease, I will dart past the eagle to be free.

Lyrics:

Some people wanna' see me in there lives
Some passerbys occasionally glance my way
Some see a painted doll with lightless eyes of glass
Unable to manipulate at will
the secret wish they would rather hide

Why do we run so vigorously from tailored schemes?

I hope you're happy with the way things worked out
there are a couple things I'm not to sure about
why and why not sooner, wait did you wait?
and why did you start to lie?
right out the gate.
I think you should save your pitch since yesterday was a fail for you that took you, oh so low...
the thing you call love I don't really want to know
For me, I guess I'm just...
Looking for some flow

-- LYRICS --

Johnny sitting all alone on a log playin his Magic Accordion just for the hell of it or so seems
that's when i did happened by and to my surprize, got sucked through a crack in time
and began to fly and fly and fly right on by the pillars of the guardians to the land of Zed
where Roy had painted all the monkeys and the parrots red, and turned them into spys Then declared that Music it was dead and put a price on young johnnys head for letting all the Flyers into Zed with his Magic accordian..

They were musician every one, with instruments of every kind making such a holy din and singing loud cacaphony and six part harmonies in the Sky...

Act 2

Oh johnny oh johnny what have you done
oh johnny oh johnny with that magic accordian.
oh johnny oh johnnyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
hangin by a thread, i thought of somethin someone said
then slipped beyond the pale and walked amongst the shadows of the pine
the southern wind sublime upon my face, the tracks of tears erased, washed clean of any trace
and leaves me to the tiny possibility of Grace.

Thanks for listening!

Lyrics:

He searched through threads
those bodies struck up in spiderwebs
he cut himself down
tight roped all around
he walk despite the endless evergreen beneath
helping those who were gone
broken compass dial pointing wrong
he hold the auspice firmly
guidance will come
watching changing arrows
red moon call out
the wolves cry up
it's gotten so dark so quickly
will he make it out of here?

A return to the weird world of Zed! Uziel, Stonerjazz, and I present the next installment in our wacky psychedelic concept album series!

Lyrics:
Now Zed it has six moons, the sky is pink and the clouds are blue the waters black and full of trout that smoke and cuss and shout at passerbys with azzure eyes who confidently stroll all about with casual and arrogant distain for everything and everyone.

The trees wear pants with just one leg and hop around gesticulating wildly and obcenely strutting up and down.
While tiny little people there grow out of cracks that appear in giant rocks on summer nights when lightning strikes the ground. Where upon they are set free and drop like ripe cherries from a cherry tree, much to the Glee of local carnivors who Howl and strutt and say in their vernacular how grand it is to have these morsels for the pleasure and their nourishment.

The rats wear suits of hemp and gold and smokes cigars and drive fast cars all custom made on mars with headlights full of tiny little stars.And all the while, the crows hang out in byker Bars.

The sky is down, the world is flat. the truths a like, Birds don't fly, theres no such thing as apple pie, water isn't wet on Zed, and all the dead, they didnt really die, It's just a lie told by some guy.

There are no towns and clowns are specifically Prohibited.

everything that's good to eat grows on the street in bite size chunks of cheese and meat and vegtables with little tiny wings that flap and soar enthuiastically like butterflies in heat.

When Johnny finally got his groove and his accordian was Wailin on some mystic movie theme about the decline of humankind in 2029. He inadvertantly opened up another crack that started bringing something back from Zed..It opened up a gate, it removed a Grate.

Butterflies In Heat (Land of the ZED #4) - Stonerjazz | Uziel | Tea Are Sea

We're very happy to present this next installment in the Land of Zed saga. Stonerjazz, Uziel and I began this imaginative, narrative concept album project last spring and have been adding to the story one song at a time. It's always an incredible experience to work with these two amazing artists!

The Mountains Thought the Moons Were Mad (Land of the ZED #5) - Uziel | Stonerjazz | tea are sea

Stonerjazz, Uziel, and me have joined forces once again for another adventure in our fantastical concept album universe 'the land of Zed'! This time we are also joined by a new collaborator, Zed a.k.a. Francesca from Italy. It is just coincidence/synchronicity that her name is the same as the title of this series, but after crossing paths on soundcloud and listening to her music, we thought she would be a good fit!

The lyrics for this one pick up on a thread of the story that we left hanging at the end of episode 2, 'Johnny and the Holy Din' ... but there are call-backs to nearly all the other songs in the series too if you listen closely.

Lyrics:

Through some inexplicable and somewhat puzzling magical circummstance beyond understanding as we know it; an opening opened amongst the craigs and mists and the protruberances high in the mountains of southern Zed.. And out of the dank and dark and stink of the stank stepped a warrior so fine with a golden accordian that did shine like the sun.

And the musicians all trapped in the sky screamed and they cried for they had lost all their hope and their mojo was gone and they were prepared to die. They were prepared to die..

So Johnny sat down on the ledge in front of the cave so incredibly brave with legs dangling in space and began to play a tune so sweets that even the red parrots and monkeys started to cry, and Roy the despicable despot was Shaken to his shoes and said: 

"Hey Johnny, can you play me some Blues??"

All of Zed did head for the byways that led to the mountains that day.. The Azzure eyed twits and all of their brats, the crows in their leathers with beads in their feathers, the Rats in their custom made chevys from mars. Though sadly the Trout had to stay but needless to say, there was a grand party that day when twenty two hundred entered that cave with visions of home, songs in their brains, and hopes in their hearts...And No one suspected the Evil that lay deep in the guts of the southern mountains of Zed..

Johnny Plays The Blues (Land of the ZED #6) - Stonerjazz | Uziel | Zed | tea are sea

We're back again with another installment in the ongoing SoundCloud collaborative concept album, 'Land of the ZED' !!

Stonerjazz, Uziel, and I developed this idea for a fantastical psychedelic concept album last Spring. We were joined by Francesca/Zed during our last episode (Johnny Sings the Blues) and all 4 of us came together again on this one. 

We've been really enjoying working on this collaboration and we hope you'll enjoy listening!

DEEPER DEEPER DOWN THEY GO
PEEPERS PEEPERS SPYING IN THE DARK
STEEPER STEEPER EVERY STEP UPON THE TRAIL
SINGLE FILE IN LIGHT SO PALE

....
(U)
I'll turn the skies around
I'll go back up again
Hold on tight for this one
I'll escape into the sunlight
when will my dream start me?
Or maybe I'm just fine?
Welcome to a maladaptive daydream...

....
(SJ)
MONKEY'S HANGING ONTO MONKEY TAILS
HOTTER HOTTER AND IN THE MIDST OF THIS
THE TRAILS SPLIT, TURNED INTO TWO.
JONNNY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, JOHNNY DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE.
THE CROWS SAY "LEFT" THE RATS SAY "RIGHT"
AND THEY BEGIN TO KUNG FU FIGHT.

....

mary
if you are real i'll marry you
if you are real i'll marry you

mary
you were easy to love
or maybe
your love dragged me down
mary
i should leave you alone
you are no dream that i own

mary
if you are real i'll marry you
mary
if you are real i'll marry you

....
(U)
I miss the razzle and dazzle
the trout and the smoke
and all the creatures running amok
I miss the sun's eyes
the moons in the skies
oh... I wish I could see it with you
but I'm stuck here
moving downward to the heart of the core
Zed...
I miss you... I miss you
I miss the razzle and dazzle
trout and the smoke
crows and the feathers all of their beads
rats in the leathers
the smoke and the feathers...
the smoke and the feathers...

Lyrics

Pt. 1

Johnny doesn't know what to do
johnny doesn't have a clue
the crows say "left!"
the rats say "right!"
and they began to kung fu fight
Johnny standing in his golden accordion light says:
"stop this now! no need to fight-
half go left and half go right!"
johnny doesn't know
What to do
Johnny doesn't have a clue

Johnny doesn't know
What to do?
He doesn't have a clue what do do

"Half go left and half go right!"

Here comes Roy! The despicable despot!
shaking in his boots...
he still pokes Johnny "play me some blues!"
"oh Johnny! let's end this now! Whatcha' gonna do Johnny?"
"HAHAHA"

"HALF GO LEFT AND HALF GO RIGHT!"
"Hey Johnny can you play me some blues?!"
"Now no, need to fight!"
"Hey Johnny, he he, oh johnny"
Johnny doesn't know, Johnny doesn't know...

Pt. 2

away and down and to the right, one thousand pilgrims Trudge into the massive cavern bright with River deep and cold and wide and FAIRIES everywhere in flight glowing with an amber light.

On the River bank a CRONE she squats and waits to collect the toll to cross the bridge that's built of blood and bones and ropes of soul.

She says "I'll have your finger or your toe or a small percentage of your soul. If you refuse i'll take it all. It's up to you, It's just like life, you can't go back, You MUST go through!!

Johnny Doesn't Know (Land of the ZED #8) - with Uziel, Zed, and Stonerjazz

The epic saga, ‘Land of ZED’ continues! About 1 year ago, Uziel, Stonerjazz and I started a collaborative prog rock style concept album around the concept of ‘Johnny and his Magical Squeezebox’. We’ve been having a lot of fun playing with different styles, breaking all the musical rules, and writing our own soundcloud inspired mythology. 

For the past 3 songs we’ve been working with a new collaborator, Francesca (a.k.a. Zed) who has added a cool new twist to our sound.
And on this track we’re pulling in a fifth artist who contributed an amazing set of lyrics: Jo Richter (a.k.a. Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches). Thanks for joining us!

Lyrics:

Pt. 1

the shining stone
deep in the mountains
the golden glow
brought forth by fountains
raising in moonlight
raising in moonlight
the golden note
created a player
weaving the node
to cross the mire
of red-shifting ire
of red-shifting ire
the jet black stone
deep in the mountains
wailing in woe
brought forth steep chasms
sucking up moonlight
sucking up moonlight
night‘s dim vibration
created a slayer
cloaked in delusion
trouble to sire
with red-flaring fire
with red-flaring fire
oh, flyers beware
the world is on fire
oh, walkers beware
of footing the mire
oh, jonny beware
never to tire
never to tire

Bickering bikers boyish bravado..emboldened they sly and Jellyfish Souls.
To Plant a finicky trickity fine bomb.
in the administrational heart of Zed.
in the mountain's monstrous mouthcave
Where Roy resides and cruelty is King.
For fear of ferocoius felines prowling the ring.
Imposed by the iron imposter this fine will ask
each creature looking more than three feet ahead
to forfeit three loaves of of freshly baked bread.
Those that cannot comply will lose the sight in one eye…

Pt. 2

Crystalizing at caverns edge
Mouth all shining as we make our descent
We outta be... weary and beware
Perhaps more troubles ahead?
Guided ourselves past the terrors
Into starlight shifting patterns
Of stalactites in space underground
We out to be wary and beware
Perhaps in this beautiful world
More troubles...
Ahead?

The Administrational Heart (Land of the ZED #9) w/ Uziel, Zed, Stonerjazz, and lyrics by Jo Richter

I'm taking my turn here at responding to the great Stonerjazz's @user-911083679 amazing open collaboration, Hawk Caught a Rabbit https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/song-0011wav

Hawk caught a rabbit , took it high up in the air
Eagle caught the hawk much to his despair.
Eagle didn't notice that the hawk had a Hare.
and they all came down, yeah they all came down
to the ground, to the ground.
They all came down.

Bones and fur and feathers clutched together, tangled in the heather
and i wondered what i was seeing
while standing in the shrubbery by the river in the mountains
where i had a vision of a high way in Nevada
and a sandstone archway floating in the sun.

When i finally got the news, i almost bought a gun..

LYRICS:
I.
Amanita Amanita Aminita Muscaria, we're so happy, we're so happy yes we're so happy that your in the area
Amanita amantia amanita muscaria.
The clinical psychologist says it's in his head
that's why that boy won't get out of bed
He's dreaming of a journey taken to the land of Zed
and a magical Accordion.
Amanita singing songs of the land of Zed
singing songs in Johnny's head.
Amanita Amanita Amanita Muscaria
we're so happy, yes we're so happy you're in the Area.
Well two clarinet players named Sally and Roberta
and a monkey named Steve
came up to Johnny and said
"Johnny we think it's time to leave; we're out of water and we're outa Bread
and all of us are damn near dead.
So Johnny Thought for a moment and he said Okay.
then he sat down on boulder and started to play
that golden magic accordion.

II.
amanita amanita amanita muscaria
A crack appeared in the side of the wall
and exposed a magnificent Hall,
a fountain appeared in the middle, gushing crystalline clear water so sweet and so pure.
And as each traveler had their drink, they did proceed to disappear.
Johnny had a drink and then he woke up in his bed
in his room
in his house
in his state
in his country
in his world.

III.
ln ths welcomeless abode where tenants rights perpetually erode
where bills are paid by humiliation and toil.
The air is full of burning oil
Where street lights outshine the moon
And dust has more rights than me
Awoken by faint sirens in the caccaphony
Woe is me who played that accorrdion for free
I fed the starving with golden tunes and lifted up the many with melodies refined.
And hope spread golden
In keys made light
Humbled here and squandered in this wretched flight

IV.
Though in a way, this is a comfy place
And quaint.
And yet it feels like restraint that keeps me from the land of Zed
From where I wish I'd never fled.
How I long for how I yearn for rat and crow and monkey too
And even Roy who loves those blues.
And my accordion nowhere in sight occasionally late at night
Sings in the clouds and I remain within my shrouds
While smiling secretly with knowledge of a Gate
In my vicinity.

Amanita Muscaria--Tea Are Sea-Nadia Selvaggi-Nic-Uziel-Jo Richter (Zed #10)

WOW.... What a crew. Stephen aka TexMex Shaman and guitarist and  Producer extraordinaire and responsible for the awesome artwork, Janine Levinson with a voice that melts my heart, Uziel who is so courageous in her exquisite creations, and Jo Richter(Sonic Structures and Silent Stretches) Poet laureate and Sonic Naturalist all teamed up to make this little poem of mine into an Amazing Song. I am sending out big Love and Respect and Thanks to You all, and to EVERYONE else, out there In the Soup.

lyrics
Wretched light so aptly said libra ish in their balanced dread
Wretched light of another day ln the soup out there
the falling down and getting up, it's "Showtime" Fossi said
As he popped amphetamine in the shower scene
Or so it's said by some writer of his dreamy technicolor happenstance
That made the cut.

Could it be scorcery that I see
Through jaded glasses full of gin
Or just a conjury of collected clarities'

So sweet the experiential meat
Dark or light the gods prefer
Is not what we do not do for us
But them.

The guillotine of thoughtless bliss
Takes the Serpent's head
And tiny lights appear around my bed.

Chase the monster south for 14 winters and a night
It grinned across the canyon with a monstrous delight
I thought I saw you yesterday up on the ridge behind my house
It might have been the way you turned your head to speak
But the wind you know it blew your words away
What you said I couldn’t’ say
You know it really doesn’t matter anyway

Know Ware--TexMex Shaman-Janine Levinson-Uziel-Jo Richter

Another great collaboration with STONERJAZZ! @user-911083679

We considered converting this into a Zed song, but decided it works best as just an extended jam.

The drums were produced with Volca Drum and most of the synths are Minilogue XD. Jeff sent me 3 guitar tracks which are layered here. 2 of the 3 are a bit more subtle and lower in volume.

Thanks as always for listening!

Science Fiction - Stonerjazz & tea are sea

Well once again  Uziel, Tex Mex Shaman, Janine Levinson with Tea are Sea and me made some musical poetry together.
Uziel sings, and co-produced with TMS (amazing work that saved us from disaster)
TRC layed down a beautiful foundation Synth track in the second half
TMS plays his Sitar and guitar and E-Bow throughout
Janine sings
Stonerjazz Lyrics/Synth/ roland boss bass and drum engine and sings.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this music, and to everyone who joins us in this song😊

Lyrics.            Asteriod
Some asteroids in outer space are made of cheese.
We only need to capture one of these
And we can feed everyone in the world for free.
I'm hoping it won't be a Roquefort or a Brie,
A nice sharp cheddar would be just fine with me.

Make a list check the box then move on
Lock the door, mop the floor, do the chores then move on.
Love the world if you're able, if you're not please set the table
Time to eat, wash your feet, eat your meat
Repeat with rice and beans and broccoli.

High speed snow and sleet outside
While we practice worldwide genocide
In the name of economic prosperity
How bout you, if you were boss what would You do?

Wood nymph hiding stealthily behind a giant Douglas fir
Off to the west. A most majestic tree.
She took my hand that girl with diamonds in her eyes
And said now follow me to a clearing where they were singing songs of love and war.

Getting back trying to unlock the doors
Crucifixion is the perfect antidote for lethargy
Oh can't you see.
If we had our druthers we'd be getting back to where we were before
Even though that bridge is burning brightly in the middle of a balmy night
The dog wood bloomed
Reminded me it used to be her favorite tree
When she still loved me like a bell that rings in distant memories.

ASTEROIDS---Janine Levinson, Uziel, Tex Mex Shaman, Tea Are Sea

Hey friends! The crew that brought you 'Land of Zed' is back to launch a new collaborative concept album adventure! After wrapping our last project, Uziel, Stonerjazz and I dubbed ourselves 'The Smoking Trout'. The 3 of us are just the founding members of this group. Like last time we plan to bring in lots of guest appearances.

This first track is an instrumental. There will be more world building and myth making on subsequent episodes... The Quest for the Holy Dumpling follows a traveling band of characters, some new and some that have already made appearances in other songs. For example Sally and Roberta are the 2 clarinet players that make a cameo in the final Zed song, Amanita Musaria. This track is their cosmic call to action to open the new album. Thanks for checking it out!

Uziel @user-455619833 contributed much of the instrumentation on the second half, including the 'clarinet' lead, the guitar sounding elements, and the percussion that kicks in during the final leg of the song... and also gets lots of credit for developing the mix.

Stonerjazz @user-911083679 contributed the trippy mellotron lead and other experimental melodic elements that you hear during the first half of the track.

I contributed the drums and synth elements that persist across both halves of the song, and finalized the mix.

Sally & Roberta's Cosmic Call (Smoking Trout: QUEST for the HOLY DUMPLING #1) w/ Uziel, Stonerjazz

STONERJAZZ, @user-911083679 created most of this track using electric and acoustic guitar and vocals. You can listen to the original piece here: https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679/summers-almost-gone-again

I layered on a synth line that weaves throughout, and also added a low frequency line during part of the first half and a vocal synth accompaniment for a few bars later on.

Thanks for the collaboration Jeff! This is different than anything else I've done in the past and was a very cool experience.

Meditation for End of Summer - Stonerjazz & tea are sea

STONERJAZZ @user-911083679 sent me a guitar loop which I expanded on with electro sounds. He then laid down these amazing otherworldly words -- I am blown away by the results! Always a wonderful experience to collaborate with you Jeff!
