Calling It In

Calming Wolf

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?

DayByDay

This world we live in 
With all the good and the bad
The sane and the crazies
The happy and sad

What we all have in common
Like the nose on our face
Is we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

So be who you are
And not who you’re not
Cause if you are who you’re not
Well then you’re missing a lot
And try to be 
Each and every day
The best you can in every way

Well it’s not always easy
No it’s not always fair
As we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

Solo

Revelations explode into colourful fireworks
As our atoms mingle with the stars and the universe

The past is remembered 
The future untold
As we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

So be who you are
And not who you’re not
Cause if you are who you’re not
Well then you’re missing a lot
And try to be 
Each and every day
The best you can in every way

Well this world that we live in 
With all the good and the bad
The sane and the crazies
The happy and sad

What we all have in common
Like the nose on our face
Is we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by
Yes we live day by day, day by day 
And watch the world go by

DayByDay

Uprising in Blue

Firstly a big thanks to Shane of Harmful If Swallowed for agreeing to do do this male duet. It’s a first for me and probably for him, so a very interesting concept. It’s been a song that’s been hanging around a while just waiting for the right type of vocalist to agree. I am a great admirer of Shane’s work because of his fine lyrics and interpretations of real life. 
The song Elephant In The Room was wrote over five years ago with my son Owen  who would of been around 18 at the time. He had got into playing guitar and dabbling in song writing so my role was helping him with melody and lyrics. 
It’s a song I always thought had great potential and as I wasn’t that active in music myself at the time only a raw acoustic version existed.
This version is what we used as a sketch and Noobly transformed it into a full blown production. Seriously Noobly is a real talent and absolute pleasure to work with so respect to him.
There as been slight lyric changes but the melody is the same.
The song is about to close friends sitting in one of their living rooms in silence. There is an elephant in the room for both of them because a serious matter is not being discussed and neither of them are opening the conversation. The one  as done something really bad to the other so use your imagination.
The conversation is only happening inside their heads so hence a male duet of thoughts.
Hope you enjoy the song as much as we did creating it.

Video Link for this song: www.youtube.com/user/rockroulettemusic


Note: For my friends on Sound Cloud who don't speak any french the word phoque (pronounced phuck) in french means a seal. Hence the title of the song in english would be The Blues of A Seal In Alaska. It's the story of a seal in Alaska whose girlfriend leaves him go perform in a circus in the United States and he's got The Blues

This is my version of the classic québécois song originally written by Michel Rivard. The english equivalent when "feelings" are concerned would be a combination of Summertime and House of The Rising Sun as far as immortal songs are concerned.

C'est ma version de la chanson classique québécoise écrit par Michel Rivard. L'équivalent anglais comme "feeling" serait un combination de Summertime et The House of The Rising Sun en ce qui concerne des chansons immortelles.

Go forward with a joyful confidence

Very proud to present this collab with the very talented Elle (@cycleofhands) !!!

We've certainly taken our time to get the track right, having started this project about a year ago, but Elle's lyrics about lovers in a dystopian setting are amazing, and such is her voice, perfectly fitting the melancholic vibe in the music. On top of that, she added some really cool musical elements (like that awesome guitar) that really upgraded the song. I am very happy to be able to release it now.

Thank you all for listening, and please visit @cycleofhands for more amazing work <3

lyrics:

Underneath it all
Behind the brick and mortar tall
Slowly becoming barren like the fall
Trees that wish to stalll
The distance from the sun the Earth revolves
Spring time rebirth is far
And they're putting on the final straw

People watching revert to simple awe
As so many lines start becoming crossed
Power through crimes whats the cost
Of an entire world bound and lost
Warming up but still crowned in frost
Made hostage by the hostile law
The coverage is constant like a coke withdrawal
Never budging like a water soaked log
We need a fire but all we got is smoke like fog
That obscures our view of hope till its gone

Try
Try to smile for me
Lets pretend we are free
Right Here
While we’re Wrapped in each others arms
We know we are safe from harm

Please turn off the radio
When its on your eyes lose their glow
Those voices speak poison don't you know
They’ve chosen to keep us dull and low
Stay poised and don’t let you mind go
To where it naturally wants to the most
Keep your cards close

To your chest
And never tell the rest
Keep your secrets buried deep within your breath
People can be trusted less and less
This is all for your best interest
I can already tell when your thoughts want to burst from your head

I know it hurts but think of our past blessings instead
Remember when I met you back in summer of 07?
As soon as I saw you I knew within just a couple of seconds
That you were someone who was homesick for heaven

It was a bit of a miracle you even talked to me
I was never social my thoughts never Let me be free
But you fought through my walls so playfully
Your kiss must have worked like an open sesame
You showed me a whole world anew a little like Disney
It’s a little cheesy and thinking of it has me dizzy
Your love has always made me sick like a disease
Butterflies from you make a hurricane erupt in me

I was hoping this day would never come
But I think it was time to grab our things and run
I’d rather die than see you under a gun
Being forced to give in and succumb
To these wicked men or whatever they have become

I no longer see any trace of love in their eyes
They despise anything that looks like life
Reflecting off of the sheen of their knives
If we leave now there is cover under disguise of night
It’s fight or flight and we both know what is right
