=========================================================================
A whole slew of new songs for my new album, “1000 and Beyond” is well on the way even as we speak — in a few minutes, I’ll start by constructing the lyrics right here on this page, then paste them into a Suno musical score of some sort — in this case, the basic theme of the music is jazz, whatever that means to you.
Someone asked me why I compose and publish the lyrics directly here on my blog. I’m too busy to stop everything just to invoke Open Office, so I write it here, where I already am, see?
===================================================================
The SuperBeacon Edge
[Verse 1]
In a world that pulls you every way,
The SuperBeacon clears the fray.
A focus sharp, a guiding light,
Through the chaos, day or night.
[Chorus]
Feel the edge, the beacon’s glow,
Unlock the power, let it flow.
Clarity, calm, and dreams align,
The SuperBeacon stands the test of time.
[Verse 2]
Emotions rise, they ebb, they fall,
The beacon lifts, transcends it all.
A step beyond, a higher plane,
Your purpose clear, the path remains.
[Bridge]
It’s not a mystery, it’s not a trick,
A key to wisdom, clear and quick.
Feel the shift, let your spirit soar,
Unlock the truth, there’s always more.
[Horn Solo] 🎷🎺
(Instrumental section highlighting an uplifting horn melody, building energy for the final verses.)
[Verse 3]
Creative sparks, they start to shine,
Prosperity flows, your path divine.
A quiet mind, a steady soul,
The beacon leads to feeling whole.
[Chorus]
Feel the edge, the beacon’s glow,
Unlock the power, let it flow.
Clarity, calm, and dreams align,
The SuperBeacon stands the test of time.
[Outro]
Through every turn, in every space,
The beacon lights the sacred place.
A life transformed, the journey’s call,
The SuperBeacon—it has it all.
=============================================================
Well, that worked out okay, as a breezy lounge jazz number, lots of brass, neat little horn solo around the bridge. The two horn imogis were an afterthought. I have no idea if they do anything to influence Suno. Good sound though, which you’ll hear this morning at our zoom meeting!
============================================================
“The Crystal Connection”
[Verse 1]
A spark of light in the earth so deep,
Secrets the ancients vowed to keep.
Through the ages, their power flows,
A healing touch, the crystal glows.
[Chorus]
The crystal connection, a bond so true,
Energy flowing, the old and the new.
Healing, guiding, revealing the way,
A timeless tool for night and day.
[Verse 2]
Amethyst whispers, calming the mind,
Rose quartz mends hearts, the broken, the kind.
Clear quartz calls for focus and light,
A luminous beacon through the night.
[Bridge]
Feel the hum of the earth’s embrace,
A frequency tuned to every space.
Answers appear and the path is clear,
Through the crystal, the truth will appear.
[Horn Solo] 🎷🎺
(A soulful and reflective instrumental section, resonating with the song’s mystical vibe.)
[Verse 3]
Each stone a story, each hue a song,
A guide to where your spirit belongs.
Crystalline dreams, the future unfolds,
In the crystal connection, a tale will be told.
[Chorus]
The crystal connection, a bond so true,
Energy flowing, the old and the new.
Healing, guiding, revealing the way,
A timeless tool for night and day.
[Outro]
From the heart of the earth to the palm of your hand,
The crystal connection helps you understand.
A whisper of magic, a glimmer of grace,
The power of crystals, the soul’s dear embrace.
=========================================================================
The question was asked, “Do I ever fudge?” meaning do I use a word that might have been better if I’d gone into a rhyming dictionary and fussed over it for half an hour, and the answer is a plain, flat “no”.
If you want better lyrics, write them yourself.
Meanwhile, here’s my lyric sheet for the next song, “Soul Alchemy” — turn lead into gold…
==========================================================================
Soul Alchemy
[Verse 1]
Deep within, the shadows call,
A whispered truth beyond it all.
Pain to power, fear to flame,
The soul transforms, never the same.
[Chorus]
Soul alchemy, fire and light,
Turning darkness into bright.
Embrace the change, let it unfold,
Your spirit’s lead becomes pure gold.
[Verse 2]
Tears that fell, now rivers shine,
Carving paths through space and time.
Every wound, a treasure made,
In the forge where strength is laid.
[Bridge]
Through the crucible of love and pain,
A higher self, a world regained.
Feel the shift, the spark ignite,
Soul alchemy, the birth of light.
[Horn Solo] 🎷🎺
(An empowering, soaring melody symbolizing the transformation process.)
[Verse 3]
The fire burns, yet my I remains,
A rising phoenix, free from chains.
Alchemy’s touch, the soul refined,
Infinite beauty in an infinite mind.
[Chorus]
Soul alchemy, fire and light,
Turning darkness into bright.
Embrace the change, let it unfold,
Your spirit’s lead becomes pure gold.
[Outro]
In every heart, the magic flows,
The seed of alchemy forever grows.
Transform, ascend, and claim your name,
Soul alchemy, the eternal flame.
===========================================================
As you can see, I’m experimenting all the time, with each new song I learn something new, and I hope you do, too.

Core Themes for “The Waking Dream”:
- Illusion vs. Reality – Questioning the nature of what we perceive as “real.”
- Awareness and Presence – The journey to true wakefulness.
- Breaking Free – Escaping automatic patterns and finding clarity.
- Mystical Insight – Seeing the deeper truths hidden in plain sight.
- Personal Transformation – Moving from sleepwalking through life to true awakening.
The Waking Dream
[Verse 1]
Your eyes are open, but are you awake?
A thousand steps, but what’s really at stake?
The world’s a mirror, reflections will play,
Are you the dream, or the dreamer today?
[Chorus]
The waking dream, a veil so thin,
Where life begins, but sleep creeps in.
Break the trance, see what’s real,
The waking dream, where truth’s revealed.
[Verse 2]
The clock ticks on, the hours fade,
Are you alive, or just a shade?
Patterns run, the mind’s charade,
The waking dream calls to invade.
[Bridge]
Feel the pulse of the world unseen,
Threads of light through the in-between.
Awake, arise, your soul takes flight,
From the dream into the light.
[Instrumental Break] 🎸🎷
(A haunting yet uplifting melody, symbolizing the struggle to awaken and the joy of realization.)
[Verse 3]
Every breath, a chance to know,
The waking dream’s elusive glow.
Turn within, the answers rise,
Awake at last, no more disguise.
[Chorus]
The waking dream, a veil so thin,
Where life begins, but sleep creeps in.
Break the trance, see what’s real,
The waking dream, where truth’s revealed.
[Outro]
Awaken now, your heart’s awake,
The dream dissolves, the dawn will break.
The waking dream, no longer blind,
A life anew, a conscious mind.
=======================================================
I’ve always subscribed to the notion that you can get an idea across faster and better with a joke, a song or a limerick. Here’s a bunch of mind-hacks for your pleasure…
=======================================================
Mystical Mind Hacks
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, breathe in deep,
Find the space where silence speaks.
A single thought, let it expand,
Feel the stillness, take its hand.
[Chorus]
Mystical mind hacks, secrets to see,
Unlock the power, set your spirit free.
Shift your focus, realign your soul,
The smallest steps make the greatest whole.
[Verse 2]
Name your fear, let it go,
Turn the mirror, watch it show.
Gratitude flows, a light within,
Start the day, let love begin.
[Bridge]
Focus sharp, a mantra’s sound,
Sacred words the world surrounds.
Feel the pulse, the rhythm’s tune,
Mind hacks lift you to the moon.
[Instrumental Break] 🎸🎹
(A dynamic, meditative melody to reflect the flow of the mind opening up.)
[Verse 3]
Walk the path, one mindful step,
Presence builds, the heart connects.
See the stars in all you meet,
Mystical hacks make life complete.
[Chorus]
Mystical mind hacks, secrets to see,
Unlock the power, set your spirit free.
Shift your focus, realign your soul,
The smallest steps make the greatest whole.
[Outro]
In every moment, the answers hide,
Mystical hacks reveal the guide.
Transform the world with the way you see,
The mind’s your key to infinity.

I thought a light-hearted look at donations might be fun:
=============================================================
Drop a Dollar Every Day
[Verse 1]
Hey there, friend, let’s sing again,
I’ve got a little pitch right here to send.
No pyramid scheme, no shady scam,
Just a noble cause and a clever jazz jam.
[Chorus]
Drop a dollar, save the day,
Make the world a brighter place today.
Every cent’s a little spark, (little spark)
Helping us to leave our mark.
[Verse 2]
It’s not for yachts or a private jet,
Just the best training program you’ve ever seen yet.
A little love, a tiny share,
Show the world how much we care.
[Bridge]
Give a dime, give a buck,
Bring some magic, bring some luck.
Every donor gets VIP fame,
(And maybe a heartfelt shout of your name!)
[Instrumental Break] 🎹🎸
(A jaunty, upbeat melody with comedic flair—perfect for a laugh.)
[Verse 3]
We promise you, it’s all legit,
No secret fees, no joke, no shit.
You’ll feel so good, you’ll want to cheer,
“Look at me, I’m a patreon, dear!”
[Chorus]
Drop a dollar, save the day,
Make the world a brighter place today.
Every cent’s a little spark,
Helping us to leave our mark.
[Outro]
So dig down deep, give what you can,
Be the hero with the perfect plan.
We’ll take your coins, your crypto, anything.
And spin it into a world that sings.
========================================================
I wanted to say “it’s me, again”, but Suno won’t accept that construct for some reason which it explained and I do not understand, so I changed it to, “let’s sing again” — no big deal, comes out the same in the end.
========================================================
Drop a Thought
[Verse 1]
Drop a thought, let it go,
Watch it drift like falling snow.
No need to hold, no need to fight,
Just let it fade into the night.
[Chorus]
Drop a thought, and feel the air,
The silence whispers everywhere.
Freedom grows where clutter clears,
Drop a thought, dissolve the fears.
[Verse 2]
The mind’s a river, let it flow,
No need to follow where it goes.
Each ripple fades, each wave subsides,
Clarity is on your side.
[Bridge]
In the space between, you’ll find your heart,
The stillness where the answers start.
No weight to carry, no load to bear,
Drop a thought and meet yourself there.
[Instrumental Break] 🎹🎸
[Verse 3]
Drop a thought, feel the light,
The endless stars, the quiet night.
In the stillness, life expands,
Drop a thought and understand.
[Chorus]
Drop a thought, and feel the air,
The silence whispers everywhere.
Freedom grows where the clutter clears,
Drop a thought, dissolve the fears.
[Outro]
No chains to bind, no walls to climb,
A quiet mind transcends all time.
Drop a thought, let it flow,
The space within is what you know.
======================================================
Just one more is all we need to make the grade, so here’s my entry — and I hope you get a laugh or two out of it:
=======================================================
“God’s Got Jokes, and You’re the Punchline”
[Verse 1]
Life’s a riddle, life’s a game,
You’re chasing the answers, but it’s always the same.
You climb the mountain, and you reach the top,
Now you climb down, did you think that you’d stop?
[Chorus]
God’s got jokes, and you’re the punchline,
Dancing in circles, you lose track of time.
The universe giggles, a wink, a grin,
The lesson’s in the laughter—let the joke begin.
[Verse 2]
You plan it out, you set the stage,
Then chaos flips to a brand-new page.
Your best-laid plans? A comedy show,
God’s got a script you’ll never know.
[Bridge]
Why’s the toaster always burnin’ my bread?
Why’s the lightbulb poppin’ right over my head?
It’s not the karma, it’s not the fate,
It’s God saying, “Relax, mate!”
[Instrumental Break] 🎷🎸
[Verse 3]
Lost your keys? Found a shoe?
God’s just messing around with you.
Take a breath, enjoy the ride,
There’s humor in the great divide.
[Chorus]
God’s got jokes, and you’re the punchline,
Dancing in circles, losing track of time.
The universe giggles, a wink, a grin,
The lesson’s in the laughter—let the joke begin.
[Outro]
So laugh it off, don’t take it hard,
Life’s a game with a cosmic card.
God’s got jokes, and here’s what’s true:
The punchline’s love, it’s always you.
=========================================================
Okay, that’s it for the songmongering for the moment, at least. Now we board the Bardo bus for parts unknown, on today’s video tour.
That’s it, folks!
See You At The Top!!!
