justice for the planet?
i think it's fair to kick every car that comes my way
as retribution for the particulate matter we endure everyday
but i believe the police won't agree with me
the car is king and i'm only a human bean
i think it's fair to sabotage ambitions to colonize Mars
each rocket ship emits as much CO2 as 3 million cars
but i'm afraid we are lost to technology
tech bros are the Earth's foes
ecosystems collapsing
people complaining
about the weather
it's too cold
it's too hot
it's too rainy
it's too dry
and the wind draws tears from my eyes
it's too hot
it's too cold
it's too dry
it's too rainy
and i know we're all going to die

Cask of Amontillado (Alan Parsons Project acoustic guitar cover)
มุมมอง 14414 วันที่ผ่านมา
This is my favourite Alan Parsons Project song. Actually, I've really only listened to the Tales of Mystery and Imagination album enough to know it out of the others. Every song on Tales is about Edgar Alan Poe stories. This one, as you've probably guessed, is based on Cask of Amontillado, a spooky tale of a man who seeks revenge against someone he believes insulted him. He's a petty guy like t...

housing precariousness and homelessness caused by greedy landlords is a story all too common. I support public transit, but now green gentrification has turned the proximity to transit into ways of increasing property values, rents, and evicting the people the transit system is supposed to serve. Vancouver has some systems of support for those facing such a crisis, but I don't live in Vancouver...

I started writing this song a few days after reading The Case For Resistance by Crimethinc. Read it here: crimethinc.com/zines/the-case-for-resistance. From page 21: "As resistance gets underway, it will be crucial to make it visible to everyone who has a stake in participating. This could mean making the walls speak with posters and stickers. It could mean distributing literature at your schoo...

New song. It's more like two or three short songs in one. I've been thinking about the condition of modernity and tried to build on the themes from my other songs pollution, cars, jobs, action, the human condition maybe. This video was lit mostly by trsspassing light pollution from the street lamps and neighbouring houses. The camera makes it seem slightly lighter than it was. LYRICS used to se...
The Sunflowers Were Cut Down Today (Marshall and Some Buddies cover)
มุมมอง 432 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Sunflowers Were Cut Down Today is a song by my buddy Marshall, performed with his old band Marshall and Some Buddies. The original version: th-cam.com/video/LfmWuGXiBNM/w-d-xo.html. @paigedrobot did the original guitar solo on the album version, and I think I figured out the right notes. Mastering it is something else! Where have all the sunflowers gone? I couldn't find any sunflowers, so I...
Stop buying plastic guitar picks
มุมมอง 933 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hi everyone, nano and microplastics are everywhere and have serious consequences for our health and ecosystems. We need to stop creating more plastics and focus on cleaning up this mess. One way to stop the creation of plastic is to start using alternative materials, like wood. I know, the environmental impact of plastic from guitar picks is small when compared to cars and other large things, b...

Fredric Jameson wrote, "It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism." "We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable - but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art," said the late Ursula le Guin. The end of capitalism only seems like the end of the world because i...

This one is still a video recorded on a couch, but I put some other video clips over top of the couch video, including spring flowers found in the Oldenburg Schlossgarten, a train I saw full of cars at a Belgian train station, and the flooded river Orb. The song is like three very short songs strung together. I added some additional guitar too in the parts where there isn't singing. LYRICS: in ...

This is a variation of a section of a song from my recent album. The name is different and the ending is too, (but not entirely new)! I've always wanted to create a song along the lines of th-cam.com/video/nLnc9CNzkew/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/ZiA1XBXAE6U/w-d-xo.html, and th-cam.com/video/5AXxQGai4JU/w-d-xo.html. Obviously I'm not these guitarists, but here's something anyway! I've called t...

Horses In The Sky (Silver Mt. Zion cover)

A cover Silver Mt. Zion's Horses in the Sky. I play a few of their songs often in my daily practices. This one, Movie (Never Made), and Hang On To Each Other especially. I love Silver Mt. Zion's because their lyrics, vocals, and instrumentations come from the heart. I always think whenever I read the news of expanding conflicts or political leaders justifying their violent retaliations: "violen...

youre a good bean

spooky
I have a guitar by my bed and when I can't sleep or just wake up , I'll grab it and start practicing . Then just recently I realize my pick is shredding into my bed . I figure I've inhaled a bunch of nanoplastic that I haven't a clue how toxic it is . Dunlop ULTEX , I can't help but wonder their some what slick material might have teflon as part of the makeup . Damn plastic is everywhere .
the calmest punk song i've ever heard
thanks for your support :D
Gained another follower fellow musician. :)

Thank you for your contribution through this video 💚

Try bone picks
i suppose i have some bones lying around lol
@@grahamjanzmusicdo you have a pet store nearby? If you do then you have a source of bone
oh i've got plenty of bones
WICKED!
thanks :D
What a gorgeous song... And for your wife aswell. That says it all. ⚓️❣️🪶
Thank you very much for the kind words! What can I say? I'm in love <3
@@grahamjanzmusic enough said. ❣️
I Love Dandylions.
Me too! :D
Beautiful. Interesting contrast with the music and the image. That is a stunning cloud.
Thank you! It's so nice of you to say. I appreciate a good cloud. An ugly cloud is never found. :D
@@grahamjanzmusic An ugly cloud is never found... Again... I agree. 🙃
hell yeah
smashy smashy! I have a song about setting car on fire too :D

Absolutely incredible playing! Those guitar skills are wicked!!!

That's the genius of Arthur! Are you a Judas Priest fan who likes Pokémon too?
@@grahamjanzmusic Hell yes, I've played all the 3DS era pokemon games and Judas Priest are one of my most favourite bands (also nice one Arthur lol)
Ha! Loved this.
:D
Well that took a dark turn at the end
the life of a pokémon trainer is hard
The art is absolutely so deeply charming!
Arthur is such a good artist! I think he's on a quest to draw them all: darthursfartblog.tumblr.com/tagged/pokemon
I like Arthur Rose (the creator of Bog Man)
I heard Arthur learned what he knows about drawing from a guy name Ben
Bro mew under the truck is good
Heres a joke you cant catch them all beacuse they are not all in the same game lol (good drawings btw)
lol! I've heard of some pokemon trainers catching them all outside the game! Thanks! Yeah, the drawings are great! My friend Arthur does them.
It’s funny ‘cause it’s actually pretty good and well done
Thanks Senki! :) That's really nice of you to say. I have another Pokemon song on the way that I'll post in a few days, but that one sounds more deranged

Wonderful song 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Layla! :) I was inspired by Weird Al's polka medleys and thought I could create medley as a tribute to Neil Young, so this is it!
Beautiful song
Thank you Layla! It's one of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs, this and Avalanche :)

Beautiful <3
Listening to this at work for maximum effect
Thanks Troy! That's all i could have ever hoped for
My favourite is slowing down cars... Great lyrics!
