Got your Guitars?

Keeping this up in the interests of national security...

 in honor of the toxic human being who would sacrifice everything for the sake of his own brittle ego  (if you disagree please don't bother telling me--we inhabit different cognitive universes, and I wish you the best in yours)

This Jeremiad just gets truer by the day 

hazy yeah I have a memory
bought with a ticket by the back gate it's coming to me now

if no one can name the deed there's no way to come back to me
there's no room in my house for back stabbers

I could be the one you need with the greatest of ease
you're gonna see a plan work out
you might be the one to bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I keep a list of all the things they've done to me
and a payback posse with a violent creed
you oughta know better than to fuck with me

I need a girl that keep her legs open and her mouth shut
don't say you didn't sign right there on the line
you'll be kicking and screaming but your ass is mine

who's that waiting there over by the dim light
I can feel the stare but I'm not scared
somebody's gonna bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I'm gonna burn this house down tonight
it's always been about me

Burn This House Down (explicit)

A fusion of composition and live playing meld together, leading to the Trojan sound. The pianist and original composer (Sunyata) teases with a variety of ascending and descending runs. Intertwined we meld our guitars. Chris's arrangement, slow attack chords and Sunyata's double bass keep the pace lively & creative.

A banned book fetish. That's our current kink.

LYRICS
--------------------------
A secret knock, a hidden door, a narrow hallway
The eyeless guide sees us inside, watching us always
As we meander down the aisles, 
Rows of spines which stretch for miles
And we show our special card
On the scent of another shard

A vaulted dome, a musty tome, an umbrous alcove
A sacred space, a quiet place, a sunken treasure trove
Details infinitesimal
Dewiest of decimals
Ever stranger truth to know
As we squish the forbidden fruit between our toes

A deeper shaft, an ancient craft, a garish goblin
The icy stare, the purple hair, a memory maudlin
Going deep down in the mines
With a shining pick to grind
The librarian lights the way
Understands the game we play

A puzzle piece, a glob of grease, a rusted lever
A blazing fire, we never tire, we nurse our fever
Run our fingers down the crease
Gently comb the golden fleece
Read aloud the sacred scroll
Let's show these muggles how we roll

They cant stand you, they want to ban you
They want to sterilize and pack you up and can you
They prefer truth that's mass produced
Because they're lacking the tenacity to grasp you
So let me ask you: what's the bigger threat?
While we're waiiting on a bomb you haven't dropped yet
They'd rather burn you then have to learn you
Their little fingers are too slippery to turn you
The truth waits for us to dissect it
And librarians are here to protect it
So grab some glasses if you need
And climb atop the worlds' mightiest steed
We're gonna read until our fingers bleed
It's a seed, it's a need, it's an urge you gotta heed
It's a growl in your stomach that you know you gotta feed
Let's show 'em how to read!

The Librarian

I connected with @blackmarketbrains when he responded to my open collab, Social Fabric. I really liked his take on that one so asked if he wanted to do another collaboration. He offered up this open collab he had going as well as a couple other ideas. Working on this one, my remix came together right away. I am digging his post-nuke post-apocalypse aesthetic.

David is responsible for the beat and many of the synth and sound effect elements (we discovered he and I use a lot of the same hardware-- microfreak + volca drum!) ... my additions include the kind of light epiano keys in the background and the main melody ultra filtered sounding lead lines. Thanks for checking this one out!

After the Bomb (TRC mix) - w/ Black Market Brains

A guitar and voice demo of a song that I hope to record soon. The song is about a long-distance love.

LYRICS

I have never touched you

But you're still here

Our lives are stuck 

Words disappear



I have never kissed you 

I never will

I see your picture 

I Fall asleep



But you still guide me

Between the bars

You say “you are stronger 

Than you think you are”

 

Your words are far away

We fly and fall like rain

My lover, I feel no pain

My lover, I see your name



And I’m so scared 

To hear your voice 

But I’m prepared 

To leave this void 



You understand 

You see beyond 

Why did it take you so long





But you still guide me

Between the bars

You say “you are stronger 

Than you think you are”





Your words are far away

We fly and fall like rain

My lover, I feel no pain

My lover, I see your name

Fly and Fall (Demo)

The Hidden People Of The Forest

Most small towns have something they're known for;  it might be a building or a statue, or some famous person who lived there.  When I was a Baptist pastor forty years ago in the little town of St Francis, Kansas, it was the "Walkin' Boys.  Not exactly "boys", they were three middle-aged brothers who were probably autistic and lived at the local nursing home called "The Village".  Their parents made provision for them to live there after they passed away so they would be well taken care of.  What made them so memorable was they would venture out every day from the Village regardless of the weather and walk the length of the town, checking their post office box, stopping in at the jewelry store to have their watches set, then proceed out to the cemetery to pay their respects to their parents, then return to the Village.  They would make this three mile trip three times a day if the weather wasn't too extreme, and you could almost set your watch by when they would pass by.  I felt they needed a song, and it is one that's still remembered by those who knew them. I understand the last of the Walkin' Boys passed away just a few years ago having lived to a ripe old age of course--they walked every day:)  The song also features my singing; something that got lost along the way some years ago. You'll also hear a little tape hiss; it was mastered from a forty-year-old cassette:)
Lyrics:
It's another sunshiny morning in our little town,
The air is crisp and clear, a little snow left on the ground,
Then I look up Benton Street and guess who's coming down,
It's those Walkin' Boys, those Walkin' Boys are coming around.

Well they call the Village home but don't spend much time there,
They spend their time a walkin' 
And what folks think they don't much care,
And the season doesn't matter they still take the dare,
To tread in summer's heat or old man winter's frigid air.
Chorus:
Walkin' Boys where you goin'
Walkin' Boys who do you know,
Walkin' Boys seldom have a word to say. 
All dressed up in dungarees,
Smoking their pipes as proud as you please,
Walkin' Boys where you going today?

They start out from the Village for their daily chore,
They check their mail box then walk to Stewart's jewelry store, 
And with their watches set they go on out the door
Headed for the graveyard then return to go once more.

Boys you may not know me but I think you're grand.
I used to think you strange, but now I better understand,
That you are the way you are because of God's own hand,
You're special to our town and unique in all the land.
Chorus 2:
Walkin' Boys where you goin'
Walkin' Boys who do you know,
Walkin' Boys seldom have a word to say.
Lookin' at the graves but they aren't sad,
Just paying respects to their mom and dad,
Walkin' Boys where you goin' today?

Walkin' Boys (from Scenes of St. Francis)

Run Away

MAYBE SOMEDAY (c) JunkHeap Jan 26 2024

A song about a long-distance relationship.

She loves him, he loves her.
Living far away from one another due to circumstance.
Occasions where they meet and their love blossoms.
The hardest time is being apart when you so want to see them.

She doesn't have the money, he's flat broke.
Travel seldom happens, but they won't flow apart.
So they speak through their phones;
work hard for the next time when they can hold each other, 
so, so close,
lost in the moment.

Their love it makes them work so much harder,
to live together and share their worlds.
Maybe someday, but not today.
 
The crescendo building 
near Iguazu Falls in Argentina,
that's where he wants to say the words to her.

She dreams of the quiet of an old growth forest in BC, 
let the trees share their wisdom, 
while they stare in each others eyes.
She's not going to lie, she melts when he looks deep.

Br.

Maybe someday.
Sippin’ hot chocolate on a train going to nowhere, 
holding hands...
Sleeping in on a rainy day, making sure not to plan anything, 
so difficult these days.
Their hearts feel, and they can dream.  
It'll happen where they can both meet, and be together,
be together, forever.
Maybe someday.

Their love it makes them work so much harder,
to live together and share their worlds.
Maybe someday, but not today.

uh, uh, uh ohh...

outro.

Maybe Someday

... my interpretation of Paul's superb back track. "Why" - in my humble opinion there's always answers ... but hardly anybody cares ...... poverty, injustice - nothing is without reason ...

paralised by all the lies you share to be recognized
by so called friends
these streets will burn
some will be hurt
you share the hate not questioning
can't you learn?
we're all the same biologie
coincidence where you have been
when you were born
so bored to hear it all again you're yelling to convince yourself
your small self

staring into the cold
where will you go seeing traffic seeing shows
racing into the cold
where will we go
seeing tragic seeing shows

“Live Forever”

In slow motion you see the glass is breaking
Not sure how much of this you’ll be taking
Voice inside your head said run away, run away 
Run away

Howl at the moon
Tear at the shirt you’re wearing
And live forever
Live forever

Rip off the chains you’re bearing
And live forever
Live forever

Jump up and let it pour right out of you
And live forever
Live forever

Plans you should be making
Sleeping in again 
and thinking fooling yourself 
Fooling yourself

Dreams you should be started
Only half baking
Sleepwalker’s dance

Living in frustration
Letting yourself down
Trying to get it together
Trying to get it together

Howl at the moon
Tear at the shirt you’re wearing
And live forever
Live forever

Rip off the chains you’re bearing
And live forever
Live forever

Jump up and let it pour right off of you
And live forever
Live forever

Howl at the moon
Tear at the shirt you’re wearing
Howl at the moon
Rip off these chains you’re bearing
And live forever
Live forever
And live forever
And live forever

One more step
One more step

See the stains on your fingers
Grime don’t always come clean
Work your day way past daylight
It’s what you do to chase a dream

Live a life worth the living
Even down in a hole
There’s a fire burns inside you
A story to be told

Here’s to the long shot
Long live the dreamers
Push us down but we keep on believing
Believing

Here’s to the long shot
Long live the dreamers
Push us down but we keep on believing

Even in the dark
Even in the dark

Thankful for the kindness of strangers
Most just turn their heads away
Ignore all the dangers
You walk the tight walker’s way

Live a life worth the living
Even if you can fall
That fire that’s inside you
One day will be seen by all

Here’s to the long shot
Long live the dreamer
Push us down we keep on believing
Believing

Long live the long shot
Long live the long shot

Keep on believing 
Long live the long shot
Believing 
Long live the long shot
Believing
Long live the long shot
Believing
