Just Downstream On That River on Soundcloud
Just Downstream On That River on YouTube A song about a ride to the inside of your stream of consciousness. Nah, make up your own meaning. Style is _STACK+.STY (Stack Memphis Blues) RealTracks in style: 1152:Silence RealTracks in style: 4071:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm MemphisSlowBluesPat Ev 085 RealTracks in song: ~1652:Organ, RhythmNoBass Bossa Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1761:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Pop16ths Ev16 085 EZDDrummer. Dave Bell ( Blue Attitude), with his usual lift to the song, played guitar. I sang and played bass. Just Downstream On That RiverJust downstream on that river that takes you deep inside there's a strange looking creature looking back that makes you wanna hide. If you look into its eyes, you will see it. A glow that makes you wanna know. Once you learn you could be it that river in you flows. Turn your back on "what matters." That river's got your six. The creature climbs onboard uninvited. So add it to your mix. It will make the rapids calm as your rudder, and guide you out to see. Just downstream on that river is where you want to be. Just downstream on that river that takes you deep inside there's that creature smiling back –a familiar face, the one you call your guide. When you look into its eyes, you still see it. A glow that makes you feel you know. Once you learned you could be it that river overflows...with gold.* INTRO-- A7 E7 F#m7 B7 V-- E7 A7 E7 E7 A7 A7 E7 E7 F#m7 B7 E7 A7 F#m7 B7 C7 B7

Marty,
Some great funky rock n blues...
Great, great vocal by you and fabulous guitar by Dave. Production is top notch.
"Turn your back on "what matters." That river's got your six.

I really love the lyrics on this one - excellent stuff!

These are some of the best lyrics that have emerged from the mind of Marty. Love Dave's guitar, but that's nothing new. TB Player is grooving. Just a cool, cool sound overall.

"...Add it to your mix!". Well, I'm adding this to mine. Super tune, slinky BiaB backing, smokin' guitar, pendulous bass, and fantastic vocals. What'd I miss? Hmmm...that about covers it. Love how you just continue to spin these l'il gems off like they're nuthin'. Great music and great use of BiaB.

Man that song kind of tripped me out.
I got so far upstream I went into an orange tangerine psychedelic dream then I turned around and started floating on a moonbeam and floated off to Aberdeen where I met Jack Kerouac in a knapsack talking smack with the wild haired pony girl tilt-a-whirl wrapped in pearls like all the girls and they caught a bus with the rest of us so we floated off to another galaxy on a giant cloud of pixie dust.
Thanks for the trip man.
I hope I can come down.
See you at Woodstock.

Bob Thank you, Bob. It's always good when Dave joins. He's the real rudder in this ride. Glad you got the obscure meaning. These are some of the best lyrics that have emerged from the mind of Marty. Love Dave's guitar, but that's nothing new. TB Player is grooving. Just a cool, cool sound overall. Wow, big thanks, Scott.

Hi, Marty. Nice! Dave plays some great blues lead, and your vocals good as ever. Like the drums, the bass does its job of supporting in the background. It feels a bit short, which is (IMHO) perfect - leave 'em wanting more, instead of wanting you to leave.

I probably only get half of what you're singing about, but what I (think I) get is cool. As always, really good vocals, fantastic guitar noodling, a good rhythm section, and your bass wanders down some really cool paths. Enjoyed my listen A Lot ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

This is one of my favourites of yours, Marty, It's a very, very cool song in all respects, plus Dave's guitar is magic throughout. I was hooked from the very opening. Excellent stuff!

#1: Play on the Way.

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.

Marty
As I listen to "Just Downstream On That River" I am carried on a delightful and introspective journey.
This isn't just a song, it's an all-expenses-paid, one-way trip to my subconscious. I won't even bother to pack a toothbrush. Nosiree.
It is deeply rooted in the blues traditions of Memphis and offers a wonderfully smooth and laid-back vibe.
The instrumentation is a masterclass in elegant layering. Each instrument knows its place, politely nudging the others rather than elbowing for attention.
Dave Bell|'s guitar is the mischievous imp in this sonic ecosystem, providing those melodic lifts that make the song “jump” while still maintaining its laid-back vibe. 🎸🆗
Marty's vocals and bass create a warm foundation, the bassline is steady and rock solid. I'm convinced it's secretly holding up my entire emotional stability right now. 🧐
The Bossa Organ and Acoustic Pop16ths guitar provide subtle, rich textures, and EZDDrummer keeps the groove with a natural, unobtrusive feel.
Marty has invited me (the listener) on a fascinating "ride to the inside of your stream of consciousness." The strange looking creature that evolves into a familiar face, the inner river that overflows with gold, and the words that you must find yourself and listen to your inner voice.
The "make up your own meaning" clause is a genius move – It's like a musical Rorschach test (inkblob), but with far better background music. 😜
Overall, Just Downstream On That River is a charming, well-produced, and deeply resonant song.
It is a feeling of being hugged by the sounds, which leaves you calm and thoughtful, and smiling. 😊 ✔ 👋👌👍
Another entertaining gem from Marty. 🤩 Now, if you'll excuse me, my stream of consciousness is requesting a refill.
Regards (and a slightly more enlightened), 🙄
Izzy

Love how you just continue to spin these l'il gems off like they're nuthin'. Great music and great use of BiaB. Thanks, Ron. Yeah, those BiaB really know how to slink when we ask them too. I know you're a New Orleans guy, so it's good to see you liked this one. Nice mix and song, I love the turn on each verse, nice chords.
Donny G Thanks, Donny. Yeah, I'd say that guy gained a few pounds on his long weekend there. Man that song kind of tripped me out.

See you at Woodstock. You're welcome, David. You can thank Mr. Kerouac for the cool aids. Hi, Marty. Nice! Dave plays some great blues lead, and your vocals good as ever. Like the drums, the bass does its job of supporting in the background. It feels a bit short, which is (IMHO) perfect - leave 'em wanting more, instead of wanting you to leave. Thanks, David. Dave can play anything, but, you're right, Blues is his middle name. Glad you can leave the table hungry.

Clever lyrics, I'm still hesitating to look into the creature's eyes, but your song makes me feel more comfortable with the idea Great band, simple but how nicely instruments work together, like the rowing rhythm guitar and the guiding organ. Enjoyed the vocals that truly experience the glow of the faces and eyes in your deep inside. The super talented Dave and world class bass player create a safe boat ride even in those scary rapids.

Really liked the personification of the "river guide." Great song concept in general. Singing very good as usual, love the character in your voice. Dave's guitar, great as always. In my dreams that will never happen, if a major label ever wanted to produce an album of my songs, I'd tell them there's this guy in Ontario you need to fly in for the guitar parts. Bossa organ was an interesting choice, but it wasn't prominent in the mix. Another good 'un, Marty!

Izzy Thanks, Izzy --everyone's favorite commentor. Man, every comment you give us could be used as a great favorable review in Rolling Stone. But I will say, Hey, it ain't no secret about the bass. Izzy, I enjoy your music AND I love following you around to read your other Rorshach interpretations. You're one of my favorite writers. Seriously.

Hi Marty and Dave,
Really great song.
Marty, once again you've got the vocals and bass totally under control.
I especially like Dave's fantastic guitar solo. It's great that Dave was given so much time for it.
He makes perfect use of it.
Top song!
Andi :-)

That’s a cool introspective lyric and this line grabbed us:
“Once you learn you could be it that river in you flows.”
Dave’s lead and his fills too are excellent. Very supportive.
Your fine vocal carries us happily on this journey down the river.
As always your bass and open/dynamic mix nailed the vibe.
Nice little kick off with the drums too.
We enjoyed our trip!
