DREAMING
Inside the dream I'm drowning
I struggle for the shore
I'm swimming 'neath the surface
I'm sinking ever more
While Davy Jones is laughing
And Neptune scoffs at me
I'm swimming on with purpose
I'm frantic to be free
- The…
GOOD-BYE
I don't want to say good-bye
But I have to go
Catch the train that's heading West
Do another show
I don't want to make you cry
There's no other way
Give your weary head a rest
Carry on the day
- Don't know how to say good…
At some point I was thinking about RHCP and that song ringing in me. I'm
Finally catching up on everything I've missed from you and everyone else. This is cool.
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…

Fine lyrics! Interesting mixing technique to have the lead vocals panned to the far right in some parts and then have the overdubbing add a contrasting stereo effect by being panned to the far left! I might steal that some time! ;)
Instrumental fusion of an Asian-flavored pentonic scale with a D minor-based American Blues scale. The Asian scale is an A 5th version of the Koto scale, performed using the Pan Flute setting on a Yamaha E313 KB, while the Blues scale is performed…
WALKING ON THE MOON
See the Earth on horizon
Watch the Earth as she's arising
I hope the living are gazing
I hope the people are loving
Feel like I'm walking on the moon
I think I will be on there soon
My body's going to set me free…
EARTH
Humanity, you're blowing this
Good planets, hard to find
Insanity to wipe us out
To earn another dime
No use it is to build a house
Upon a dying land
We live upon a warming earth
Why don't we understand?
- Unless we govern for…
OK… this might be my fav, lyrically, of yours. i'm right with you. Good tune-age, too. If you want to get fired up, check out what Polymet Mines may be allowed to do in northern Mn, right in the middle of one of the largest freshwater sheds in the world. Unbelievable that it's even being considered. Been to the meetings… its a real possibility.

Very interesting commentary...
And, thank you for listening to my song.
I was at the stockade at Fort Ord in California and then sent to Leavenworth where I ended up at the prison farm running the egg factory.
MAD AND SAD AND SCARED
I just want to get by for a friend
This is not how I would want to end
Mad and sad and scared
In everything I've shared
That is all I leave behind me
This is all I am
Hope I find a way
To kiss you every day
That…

And y'all thought the Hokey Pokey was what it was all about! This song is 4 dimensional – up/down, left/right, in/out, now/then. BIG THANKS to Greg Connor for fabulous vocals…
At the end, I stood up an applauded. My cats gave me that look, but I think they enjoyed the music too. You sure got a handle on the piano! Well done -- bravo!
A different speed and flavor, but I'm digging it. Nice vocals, chilling, haunting atmosphere. Interesting, psychedelic effects add a gloomy yet enchanting color.
I’d been experimenting with Euclidean rhythms for a while when the modular synth plugin Bazille was released by u-he.com. They seemed like the perfect match.

I'm getting a real kick out of everyone's contribution to this number. I've always appreciated Steve's sweet picking skills, Greg's sweet vocals, and Terry's not-so-sweet, serious, in-your-face way with lyrics. I've been wanting a recording featuring the 4 of us for like 7 years now. I'm so tickled that it's finally happened. Hopefully now that the horsemen have come together, this doesn't lead to the Apocalypse! Thanks, guys -- y'all did awesome!
Intermittences is about memories coming and going, sometimes hurting. It is about ups and downs.
This part is about felling fulfilled, but it is a dream. At the end you wake up. The harmony is still in you, but a part is lost and you feel alone...
GREAT JOB! You miked the piano well, and the acoustics of the room generated a fab reverb. Nice tickling of the ivory -- slick, smooth timing! Very talented.
An interesting mix of sounds! An amazing production, like something from a Hollywood movie about dwarves, elves, wizards, warriors, dragons, and maidens in distress. Impressive!
I like the mix down and mastering -- everything is panned out nicely. The bass line is particularly groovy at points. Very colorful, although a bit damp! ;)
Comments on Merry Bear's stuff
Yes, this is my bag. Love the vibe, very cool. Sounds like something you'd hear in Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, House, etc. I'm impressed!

Almost made it to the wedding ceremony...nice

Groovy and cool as HELL!
Inspired by "The Song That Never Ends," I sang the poem 7 times, for each day of the week, from Tuesday to "Moon"day.
in the spirit of the Wanagi and lower Brule tribe, I say, Go...make it clear and make it last forever. Don't ever let the underlings bring you down.

Interesting lyrics complimenting a bouncing melody. It's a great way to portray frustration.

Pretty dang good
Credit also goes to Greg for the melody.

You are always stringing together great sounds, without fail!
Groovy! Digging the melody, and the birds!
You got a great handle on the keyboard!
Wow!
You are indeed very talented -- I know you can elaborate this brief phrase of music into something more.
