Stark Raving Mad (Javier Hernandez-Miyares Raw Demo For Robert Bales)

Gazing
Drawing By JHM

We are soldiers
Tied to the mast
Drifting on a raft
Stark raving mad.

In the ashes of Fallujah
Souls wander with the city crows
We came and conquered
Stark raving mad.

The eggs of Penelope
Stark raving mad
The amber of silence
Tied to the mast

Stark Raving Mad

We saw dirty angels
Light themselves on fire
Phosphorous and sirens
Over the walls of Babylon

We tear a path
Through the fabric of nightmares
A razor between the shore and the sea

We are stark raving mad
Tied to the mast
With a skull from Troy
Stark raving mad
Filthy mermaids.

Stark Raving Mad

First draft recording of a new composition dedicated to Robert Bales

Davy Jones’ Locker (The Monkees At Where The Pieces Fall)

The Monkees (Archival Image)

Davy Jones’ Locker:
Another Monkey Drowning
Sounds like Porpoise Song

Haiku By JHM For Davy Jones

When i was a boy, the Beatles and the Monkees were the two forces that mated and created the zygote of my nascent musical imagination. The Beatles were the revolutionaries and the Monkees were the band manufactured by the establishment as an antidote for that fever, but it mutated…

Listen to this song and ignore the madcap mayhem in the video, which is a misdirection as in the performance of a magician: This song is as subversive as anything the Beatles ever did. It infected me.

With his fools gold stacked up all around him
From a killing in the market on the war
The children left king midas there, as they found him
In his counting house where nothing counts but more
