Eyes they have, but they see not, ears they have, but they do not hear, a mouth they have, but they can not speak...And those worshiping them will become just like them. You did justice to this piece Rick.
The sleep is still in my eyes
The dream is still in my head
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
And lie a while in bed
I wish that it might come to pass
Not fade like all my dreams
Just think of what my life might be
In a world like I have seen
I don`t think I can carry on
Carry on this cold and empty life
My spirits are low in the depths of despair
My lifeblood spills over
"...I have not left this cave for days now, it has become my last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of the waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live under the control of the Federation, but there is no other place to go. My last hope is that with my death I may pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last."
2112 part VI: Soliloquy
The protagonist returns to the cave and broods for "days". He imagines "what my life might be in a world like I have seen", and now considers life under the Federation "cold and empty", with his spirits "low in the depths of despair". He resolves that, in order to "pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last", he must take his own life— his narrative ending as "my life blood spills over."
One of the most famous soliloquies in literature is Hamlet's where he contemplates suicide, saying "To sleep, perchance to dream". The title of the song movement indicates a similar struggle where the protagonist chooses the liberation of spirit "that with my death I may pass into the world of my dreams, and know peace at last".
ONE TIN SOLDIER
Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley folk below
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone
And the valley people swore
They'd have it…

Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want…

I used to play this in my High School band while shaking the hair out of my eyes.
Ahhh … . . *Those were the days*
Now I play mostly acoustic and I never worry about my hair getting in the way.
Progress? Maybe not, but it's still fun to think about.
Thanks for the memory
Recorded Friday, December 13th, 2013. Drums were generated using a Yamaha E313 keyboard. Vocals and all other instruments are my fault. Lyrics and composition by Stevie Wonder.
My version of a Neil Young song.
"Rockin' In The Free World"
There's colors on the street -- Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet -- People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot…

Since my baby left me
I found a new place to dwell
It's down the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
You're makin' me so lonely, baby
I get so lonely, I get so lonely, I could die
Though it's always crowded
You still can find…

This is my first listen to this one, and it's good stuff, like '60's beach music with a little psychedelica and grunge added in. What is it with you -- don't you ever write a bad song?!
Had to really push the good wife sing this one. After a couple of years of serious health scares she had lost all confidence in herself. Glad I did my 'Phil Spector' trick on her. ( No gun involved !! )
I dig the slip=sliding rhythm. You're not only out of the box but several yards away from it. Digging the fresh view. Maybe Madonna wouldn't, but I would! Groovy -- Rock on!

This song tears me up. The picking is gorgeous but the lyrics are so emotional, it really pulls on my heart strings. One of the very best Political Folk songs ever.
A prime representative of what a Main Street Blues is and should be about. Very powerful lyrics indeed. So moving, and the music penetrates the heart. Your vocals are so real -- one knows you mean what you're singing!
FABULOUS! I dig the guitar, the harmonica, the lyrics, the vocals, but the handling of the drums was especially clever. You're just too cool. Rock on, Blues man!
This is a request from Gene Eric Mann
one of mine and Andy's older ones...we envisioned this a a soundtrack for a horror movie....Andy thought of the story because his son likes to go into the woods near his house and brng back sticks!!
this is…
(Em) A legend that the sailors told
Tales shared from long ago
(C) Secrets that are captured in the (Em) air
(Em) It comes to you from far way
Whispered roars that fade away
(C) Answers that are carried on the (Em) breeze
Only (C) heard…
The most beautiful, gorgeous Sea Shanty I've ever hear. So haunting, chilling, gripping... I'm in awe. The instrumentation, the melody -- you're a marvelous talent. Too real! Wow -- just wow!
A grunged up Main Street Blues. I hope you don't mind me saying the vocals should be louder than the guitar, but such lyrics shouldn't be drowned -- I want WallStreet to make no mistake about what's being said here. You're tearing up the fretboard -- fabulous!
So you stopped coming round
Your heart buried in the ground
It's a shock, it's a scene
You never say what you mean
Emotional landmines
You can see the stop signs
But you're not slowing down
One foot on the trip line
And the words fly…
From the first second of this song I was digging it. I love the instrumentation, the arrangement, the style -- very tasteful indeed! Great job -- Rock on!
Part two of the Sonic Portrait of Reed Wood in which Text to Speech reads Reed's Bio in text and code format. The musical element is a photograph of Reed interpreted by software run on an old iPhone and Reid's photograph as sound.
Your poetry is very good -- reaching, touching, penetrating. I dig your unique vocals. Your have a sweet, talented way with the guitar. Nice mix-down of sounds.
I think this would be perfect for the BG music of a scene in a Japanimation film, a scene of people rushing about on foot and passenger train, going to and fro across Tokyo. It's lively and has a hook. Rock on!

My psychedelic folk version of the 6th movement of the 2112 suite by the extraordinary Canadian progressive metal power trio called RUSH.
Soothing smiles of mercy. There's definetly some sad taste behind this. I like it
Growl! IAA

I like it! :)
like a strawberry wine afternoon.
Thank you very much for your nice comment. I´m lucky, that you like my music :)

ROCK ON!!!
Rock on!

Fabulous! Love the banjo! Y'all did a fine, sweet job with this old Irish jig -- Rock on!
I really enjoyed the colorful composition of sounds and the panning effect of your mix-down. Really delicious. I was indeed entertained!
I dig the slip=sliding rhythm. You're not only out of the box but several yards away from it. Digging the fresh view. Maybe Madonna wouldn't, but I would! Groovy -- Rock on!
This one really works for me. Far out, SciFi-ish fun. What you generated here is definately a groovy journey -- very choice colors and flavors!

One of the best songs I've ever heard! I love everything, from the bass to the lyrics. You are a fabulous songwriter and musician -- Rock on!

Reminds me of some drugs I took in the mid '70's. Your sound experiment produced interesting results. Wondering what Lincoln would sound like.
Not many have the talent to improv with lyrics! Powerful, moving. You are certainly gifted and know your way around the keys. Great job -- Rock on!

A groovy compilation of sounds. Melodic enough even for those who are not House fans. It would add spice to any rave.
