Terry Brown came up with these dark, hardcore lyrics, asked if I could do anything with them and set them to music. He knows I'm not afraid of going there with a serious, in your face subject matter!

Clever lyricism Merry Bear. Dead pannish and Lyle Lovett like feel and delivery. Thanks for the nice comment earlier and sorry to have to had trashed but reposted as I thought there were glitches in first upload. Appreciate the listen and like this one.
Vocals by Greg Connor, lyrics by Connor and Merry Bear, music by Bear.
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…
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

Terrific. You created the atmosphere that fits your lyrics perfectly. Great song. I was imagining guitar sounds like Roger McGuinn's Ricky or David Gilmour's Strat in a sort of ocean wave sound.

HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT

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…
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?

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.

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

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! ;)

A nice ethereal quality to this. Well done!
Liking those Lyrics......

Like it. Love the lyrics.
And this one too, like it :)
That works in a strangely hypnotic kind of way. Nice one.
Nice change up I really like this Rick
Oh yeah
I really like this.
I can only imagine where the inspiration for this song came from. *Good listening!*
Heavy lyrics...the music reminds me of something the Doors would have tracked...
dig the melody...has a late 50's early 60's vibe..

You keep it all so interesting, colorful, flavored, textured, multi-dimensional. Brilliant! Stay groovy and out of the box!
Sweet! Nice guitar work. Rock on!

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.
