Lyrics

Artful Alchemy
V1
In the kaleidoscope skies, where the jellyfish fly,
I met a two hatted zebra winking his third eye.
He said, "Step right up, to the carnival of dreams,
Where the clocks melt backwards in caramel streams.
Pc
Oh, the tangerine trees whisper riddles to the breeze,
And the moon wears a tutu made of swiss cheese.
Dance with the shadows, painting the dark,
A masterpiece of chaos on a canvas dark
C
Artful alchemy, turning nonsense into gold,
Spinning constellations where the stories unfold.
In the labyrinth of laughter, where the colors collide,
We are the dreamers on this magical ride.
V2
The teacup giraffe pours a potion of rain,
While the polka-dot penguins hum a cosmic refrain.
The clouds are on fire, but they don’t seem to care,
They’re too busy knitting sweaters from unicorns hair
Pc
Oh, the rubber-band rivers twist and turn through the void,
And the jellybean mountains keep us overjoyed.
Slide down the rainbow, through the velvet abyss,
Where the centaurs gossip and the planets all kiss.

B
The clockwork cat purrs in Fibonacci time,
While the fractalized flowers chime a rhythm divine.
The air tastes like peppermint, the stars play a tune,
And the universe giggles, like snow in late June

V3
So here’s to the madness, the whimsical spree,
Where nothing makes sense, but it’s all that we see.
Artful alchemy, in this wonderland we roam,
Forever lost yet forever home.

Oh this is a toe tapper! Your amazing imagination and creativity is really on display here John - and I love it! A super clever song concept and really well written around your theme. I am rally enjoying the musical interpretation of your lyrics. Awesome guitar throughout, and like the more muted the verses, how the guitar brightens and opens up in the chorus. Cool change-up at the bridge. Really great transitions also. Huge shout out for your vocals and the phrasing - love your technique and tone - you didn't stumble over anything! I also love the background noise. I am thinking this might be an acoustic-one take recorded in a public place. I listened twice I enjoyed this song so much - great collab!

@coolparadiso -- are you high?!!

Great song--takes me back to 60s, but then...I don't remember much of the 60s. Terrific imagery and a very nice vocal over them! ❤️

A very cool set of lyrics (my favorite line is the clockwork cat purring in Fibonacci time) set to a great tune, well performed. This is a wonderful collab. Really well done.

REally enjoying the funky, driving guitar and delivery of these imaginative, magical words. Every line is a carnival of dream non-sense (or is it deeper sense?)

These lyrics are right up my alley! Love "the rubber-band rivers twist and turn through the void" and the overall atmosphere of surreality. Great vocals, and the guitar sounds like its in the room with me. Nice!

An artful alchemy indeed. Lowhum weaves his way through this Alice in Wonderland LSD infused word salad armed with nothing but skilled vocals and an acoustic guitar. Well done

Imagination riot! And the music keeps up nicely. Cool!
