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.

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

Oh my how gorgeous, with a hint Floyd-like Psychedelic flavoring -- delicious. A damn fine mix down/mastering job. Cool lyrics and vocals, nice picking. I really, really, really love this! ROCK ON!
Original track with a little bit of everything. Pop R&B vocals over Piano and Bass finishing with the craziest beat to date. Headphone only add to it!!! Enjoy.
this was originally a song about breaking through paradigms but turned into a song about a girl.
Keys and string samples from Korg, MIDI with the old Ensoniq,
one diving board.
Thanks for the listen ,enjoy... RW
Wow. This one is really together. You did everything right -- lyrics, vocals, instruments, mix down/mastering, diving board sound effect. Brilliant, beautiful.
a slightly different track. was my first track with GT-DN. will not please everyone
ein etwas anderer track. war mein erster track mit GT-DN . wird auch nicht jedem gefallen
Thanks to Robert Palomo for giving this a little sound engineering. Robert said " I mixed thru my mastering plugin (Ozone 5).

I, like you, use to do electric guitar in my HS years, but also migrated to acoustic. Is that progress? I think so -- this song here would be much less effective if juiced up with distortion and wah wah and the other toys of our youth. This song is hard core as it is, and needs no electricity to get its message across.
Now that my album Texas Tonefreak is almost "out of print", I'll be posting the tracks up here.

This work was recorded at counter)induction's 'a little night music' concert, 22 Jan 22 2007 at Christ St. Stephen's Church in New York.

The music was written in a hotel room in Niagara Falls, Ontario. When I first recorded the rhythm guitars it hit me how 80's corporate rock this was. It sounded like Journey and that pissed me off. When it came time to write the lyrics that…
The music was written in a hotel room in Montreal (I think) and the lyrics are about how stupid the Market Basket situation got in New England (ironically, as I was recording the last vocal line a friend sent me a link to a stream of Artie T's…
I actually followed the Market Basket story, for some reason (I'm living in Georgia). Interesting choice to jam about. You drove the point home. In the end, with the fired CEO buying the company, and all that protesting a waste of time when the rich guy handled it himself... what a laugh. Anyway, good music -- 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

An all around great compilation of sounds, strung together quite nicely. The mix down/mastering is particularly superb.

I dig the Classic Rock sound and got a kick out of the lyrics, and the vocals were fun.
DIG THE BEAT AND BUSY BASS LINE! Good vocals. Nice mix down/mastering work.
Well alrighty then!
Oh hell yeah!
An interesting composition. Digging that loose bass string. Nice scale.
Juicy guitar work -- good stuff! The vocalist, very talented. Y'all ROCK! Rock on!
That's some fab talent -- great job!
I enjoyed it -- looking forward to hearing the end results.
YES! Great job! A really groovy, fascinating piece. Rock on!
Dark, bitter, sharp, but also captivating and entertaining. A brilliant stitching together of sounds. Thank you for posting this!
Intriguing! A very entertaining composition. A lot of talent revealed in this, and the entire piece is quite imaginative. Rock on!
I sure dig the way you handle the six string!
