Stayed Here for the Feeling - Cosmic Bos Sunrise Reflections (track 9 of 13)

 So friends,

We came here for the fun, but stayed here for the feeling

Track 9 on Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections

Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

Video by Nick and Andy Jackson

After a couple of sets of wise words from the almighty Ram Dass, Cosmic Bos come back to their musical roots and serve up a somewhat simple singer songwriter kinda song. With lyrics by Andy, the chaps came here for the fun, but stayed here for the feeling.

Stayed Here for the Feeling - Lyrics by Andy Jackson

Spread across the bed

While the mower’s in the shed

Gets dustier and rustier

Use paving stones instead

Lazy built an empire

And then slept through the day

Generations greatest gifts

Casually thrown away

But fun is what we came for

The feelings’ why we stayed

We’ll decimate the buffet

And likely misbehave 

Yonder window sunset

Yesterday was better

Except for the pain we felt

So easy to forget her

Tomorrow could be easy

Or is that simply dreaming

Came here for the fun

But stayed here for the feeling

Today is all okay

This is time worth stealing

Came here for the fun

Stayed here for the feeling

Be Here Now ft. Ram Dass (Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections track 8)

 So friends, part 8

After the Words of Wisdom 3 Ram Dass, the musical adventuring just didn't want to leave the wise guy alone, so for the next song, Ram Dass continues to dish out the tasty wisdom treats while the Bos chaps noodle away in a musical fashion.

Cosmic Bos improved the music, and they are:

Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar, Synth and Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

This song is track 8 in the Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections album, which is available from all good music streaming venues, please take your pick

This song is a direct follow on from Words of Wisdom 3, as the music began to swell a vocal called out 'Be Here Now', and the whirlwind swirled us all in, and Ram Dass had to stop talking so the music could take over, and that is how this song was born. 

Here is our embedded podcast page from Spotify, please follow us till the end of time.

Be Here Now is one of Ram Dass's central thesis's, and truly a reflection of what we have been doing here at Cosmic Bos with our improvisation podcast project.

Feel the World - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (track 6 of 13)

 Hello friends,

Track 6 of our Sunrise Reflections is the magical Feel the World

The 6th outing from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections is the beautiful song Feel the World, accompanied by some stunning nature photography.

Percussion and Vocals - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Backing Vocals - Andy Jackson

Feel the World - lyrics by Joe Philogene

One Heart,

One Soul,

One Mind

Feel the World

Utilising a selection of percussive instruments (including the spinny round the head wwoooooo making thing) Joe leads the chant to Mother Earth, and we spend some time in the relaxing forest making sweet fairy music for all of the wonders that surround us.

Cosmic Bos are big fans of the World, it's pretty neat, and we think that it deserves more attention, some more songs about it, especially after all it's done for us. We are somewhat ungrateful children to the Earth, and it really is time we tidied our room before the threat of no dinner becomes an actuality.

Spend time outside, go and feel the world in your lungs, let the bird song enrich your soul, let the breeze tickle your senses, and remember that we are all part of the same thing, we are all in this together (cough, Mr Bezos!).

Intentionally - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (track 5 of 13)

 So friends, intentionally,

The fifth track from Improv 2 finds us back with a set of lyrics to contemplate existence and some trippy visuals to sooth the eyes.

Percussions - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson

Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

Intentionally - lyrics by Andy Jackson

Intentionally slowing down

Potentially turn this frown

Upside down and inside out

See what this is all about

Trickery came thick at me 

Distorted all reality

But truth wins eventually 

Tunnelling through intentionally 

Intentionally freaking out

Sucking juice from seeds of doubt

Drafting up the backless gown

Mooning the entire town

Trickery comes down the line

Causing shifts in fickle time 

But truth will win the vintage wine

Intentionally solving the crime 

Intentionally, Potentially, Intentionally

On a simple chord sequence, the Bos chaps present a haunting tale of intentions, facing the trickery that we face daily, not being afraid to stand up for ourselves, be questioning, don't just accept apathy, be present in the moment so you can live your life with intention, intentionally.

Joe beats the frame drums to the rhythm of our souls, while Nick wails the woes with the electric and Andy teaches his acoustic a lesson in strumming. Fun stuff indeed. This song, like all the previous songs in this presentation has begun it's journey as an improvisation, come up with there and then, with the pre-written lyrics serving as a guide for some thoughtful rhymes and vibes, when the lyrics are left to also be improvised they tend to lean towards the silly side of the spectrum rather then the profound.

The full episode and album are available.

Sunrise Reflections - Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections (Track 3 of 13)

 Oh glorious sunrise, we worship thee,

This is the title track from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 2: Sunrise Reflections, and the third song in this audio/visual presentation.

Ngoni and Percussion - Joe Philogene

Electric Guitar, Synth and Backing Vocals - Nick Jackson
Acoustic Guitar and Vocals - Andy Jackson

Sunrise Reflections lyrics by Andy Jackson

Nothing beats a sunrise

Party up a surprise

Cameras are our new eyes

Ones that never use lies

Changing of perspective 

Replace what’s now defective 

Of life we be protective 

Let’s avalanche collective

Together we have powers

To topple ancient towers

To overthrow in hours

The corner dwelling cowards

But best just to avoid it

Let them sleep in their own shit

We’ll come in for a refit 

Once this old horse has bolted

All the steps we’ve counted

And failures we’ve dismounted 

Why was it ever doubted?

Nature just gets rerouted 

Humans are just a blip

Missing one obvious trick

Harmony with Mother Nature 

Doesn’t require legislature 

What we take we must replace 

There can’t be losers in this race

It’s every planet, species, life form 

Winning all the time we’ll reform

A dream that we can wake to

A dream that we can wake to

...

Reflecting on the world near the start of the day can be a healthy way to approach the challenges that the hours are likely to bring your way. Always remember the clouds are there to bring colour and flair to the sky.

Joe leads with a beautiful Ngoni rhythm, which Nick and Andy meander around.

For the visuals we searched for sunrises and epic skylines from around the world, and then over-layed it on us playing.
