It's a fantastic and stylish music ✨🎶

I was headed home thru Hattiesburg 
In an icy cold  December 
On a train: the Crescent City line
To my hometown for Christmastime

I was watching out the window
As the train pulled out into the snow
The western sky was glowing red
as the night turned purple overhead

Between the sunset and the evening stars
Planes were leaving long white scars
I’d given anything to be up there
Flying far away from here

That was years ago
The last time that I went home
Now I’d give anything to go back where I belonged

Oh, to walk down those familiar streets
In the town that held my secrets deep
To see the soft glow of the Christmas lights
In the windows around the old house of mine

To feel the warmth of Christmas from years ago
But things have changed so much I know
We all have gone separate ways
And it all feels so far away

Everyone I’ve known has come and gone
Friends and family that I depended on
That world is gone
And I stand alone 
I just want to go back home where I belong

If Christmas wishes did come true
I would have a million reason to 
Get back on the crescent city train
And start the new year home again

I just want to go back home

The Last Time I Went Home

Song composed during a Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency. Joint composition with Bryan McDaniel. Guitar Bryan McDaniel.

There is nothing wrong with you because you are different. Everyone is different.

We do not have to be homogeneous; we do not have to be the same. There is distance and difference between even the closest of human beings. We do not have to walk the same path to share the same vision: that all view points are valuable; except for hate, which is not a viewpoint at all but a dark glass some people see through… losing all clarity and beauty.

We do not need to stand above someone. We can stand side by side and not be in each other’s shade…so that we all receive the same amount of sunlight. 

Two great things we can do in life: Have the courage to be yourself, your unique self and embrace what is different about you; and the second thing is to embrace what is different about everyone else …what is their unique contribution to the world?  (And maybe doing the second will only come from doing the first. Maybe you can’t accept everyone else’s differences unless you accept your own). 

Every power struggle, abuse, and essentially all inequity in the world is related. We need to solve the inequities in our own lives in order to impact the world’s inequities and essentially set a good example so that others will follow, not you; but your behaviour, by making changes on their own.

Differences are very important. We need them to understand things…without differences we cannot compare, understand, and get perspective. We wouldn’t even have a concept of time without differences! Differences create understanding if we embrace them and only difference can create change and growth…the concepts of change and growth are also not possible without differences! 

The ironic thing is that humans sometimes think that rejecting differences and striving to be the same will create unity. But the opposite is true: only through accepting all our differences and celebrating them can we truly unite and move forward.

Half Asleep 

1
In former days
I went early to bed
Not the shadow of a doubt
Hanging above my head
No thunderstorms
No brownred skies
No haunting ghosts
No desperate cries

ref 
But tonight
Can’t count the sheep
Tonight

I’m not really sure
What I’m wanting for
Am I really awake
Or am i maybe asleep ?

2
Too many thoughts
Too many problems
Too much discordance
And no disco dance
Is this the same sort of hell
Obviously a one-person-show
Sittin' alone in a nutshell
Lost the signal long ago

ref
Can’t find no sleep tonight 
Won’t find any sleep tonight

I’m not really sure
What I’m waiting for
Am I really awake
Or am i maybe asleep ?

3
I’d like to go to Northumberland
Maybe there i would understand
Why every English is an island
How come everybody is an island
The picture is garish and posh
Like a painting by Hieronymus Bosch

ref+out
I’m not really sure
What I’m wanting for
Am I really awake
Or am i maybe asleep ?

 THE BUS by Jeff gardiner

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 invited to ride the bus with 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

Get on The Bus (Holy Dumpling #4) Tea R Sea/Uziel/TexMex Shaman/Nadia Selvaggi

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 .
