Is/Was/Will it always be the Almighty or is/was/will always be what the events of our life brings us through!
you are God or are you the one people wanna call you as One greater entity?
Is that you who were speaking through the pangs of guilt or was it our mere simple paranoia? Perhaps we were up to things who we shouldn't been up to.
The flood of life is immense I think sometimes we are the masters as we administer that power for the good and bad of life.
I saw you laying not far from me in a dream and yet I was scared of your sight.
We blame one another for things we shouldn't blame each other for and what is it for?
We don't sleep and feel your presence but is it really you or our mind playing tricks on us?
There's been far too many theories lurking over the essence of you but do you exist and in what form do you exist if you really do?
They saw you lying not far from me but they ran away or ran out of luck because they didn't want to see you?!
It was a strange place full on entertainment ranged well from chaos to disturbing happenings like throwing bottles to one another people and then the crowd I decided to run off with vanished like they were never meant to be in the first place.
The way laid down to a subterranean crypt how more spooky could that be? That was when the guys who I ran off with disappeared all at once as well as the guy who had a pony tail who resembled Jesus Christ.
I saw you laying not far from me in a dream and yet I was scared of your sight.
I saw a cross forming from a giant packet of cigarettes laying down low in front of my very eyes then this packet turned into the cross itself and a phosphorescent yellow eyes Jesus radiated the whole crypt.
I went asking forgiveness and the man said to me I BEG YOU NOT TO CALL MY NAME!
Most of all of that went in the dream I then woke later with the light blinding my eyes and spent the whole day thinking and feeling a sense of holy possession and psychic powers!

How to be a Spontaneous Singer/Songwriter
| by flippedcanvas, Mar 7, 2009 |
| A few tips on my idea of finding ground of thoughts over the music essence. |
|
Right when someone asks me ''Al how did you come up with this idea for this song?'' The answer is rather simple, I fuel my mondane life's activity into a spiral sense of creativity in a way that something like i.e. They would want me to go and find my way of doing my job that can also become an element of a song perhaps more linked to a possible chorus the melody or verse can be an overlayed rifle of many random thoughts that somehow connect to the above underlined sentence. I guess the best and most interesting way that I find a song from my heart and soul is when I begin strumming my guitars when all in the sudden totally improptu sentences explode from my mind, in this specific trance-ish moment I play this song as it comes and record on mini disk or play and transcribe over a writing pad. When it comes to songwriting the majority of the folks all over the world they seem to forget an important factor: a song is more of a rough playful colored canvas than a poem, never I'd try to sit down and force my very mind to write lines out the thoughts have gotta set through instantly just like meeting a pal of mine and just do the talk with no limits so the song should be. When is it best to let this mind free of so many ideas? Perhaps after a hard time at work, with dealing with family chores, with the departure of a parent whether that is a death of them or not seeing us for a while, a stimulating chat with a friend work coolegue and/or a customer, a journey to a certain diverse town city and country, whatever the idea comes from has gotta be honest. In my whole world I'd never be able to compose a truely happy song usually songs come to me in a pretty ironic sarcastic and dark contents but then I'm able to filter with the sound of my voice these emotions/state of the mind and boom somehow a happy tone of my voice come accross. There's obviously lot more to write but by now I believe you've got a clue of what I'm saying to you....... Here's a chance of listening to some of my tunes: http://www.myspace.com/flippedcanvas http://www.authspot.com/Journals/How-to-be-a-Spontaneous-SingerSongwriter.577007 |

GIANT SAND
Giant Sand is without any doubts a North American band that started at the beginning of the 80s and I only began to listen to them right at the end of the 80s.
Giant Sand went from strength to strength since their first release called ''Valley Of Rain''. I guess we can spot straightaway since the start that regardless the fact that Howe Gelb the most eccentric and pioneering front man of the band presented us with a rough kind of uplifting punk rock a' la Johnny Thunders blended with Neil Young's influences and traces offolk music. HOWE had indeed lot more to offer as years went by.
The first album ''Valley Of Rain''was issued in 1985 but thesong from youtube I've just uploaded is part of the Cover Magazine album which got recorded at the start back in 2002. We can spot the two Calexico musicians who once were part of Giant Sand - John Covertino on drums and Joey Burns on stand up bass on the cover Johnny Hit and Run Pauline with a fantastic vocal performance by the genius of Paula Jean Harvey. Obviously there's plenty more to talk about butGiant Sand.com is a real mind opener and a milestone achievement into the worlds of Howe Gelb's music and his extended blast-sanded family - it must be said that is great stuff/music for all occasions.
