about

Here you'll find back stories about each Section of the 5-part Suite and the artists for each section...

1) The First Song
Byron – Lead Vocals, Drums, Percussion, Bass Guitar, Lead and Rhythm Guitars
Anna V - Lead Vocals
Lola Visentini - Synthesizers
A humorous tribute to the internet music business, and the music business in general. Dedicated to all the people past and present who made it possible … standing on the shoulders of giants. And to independent musicians everywhere, trying to manage their own projects, but fortunate to have a way to share their music.

2) Balance Your Choices
Byron – Lead and Harmony Vocals, Guitar, Synthesized Piano and Cellos
Lola Visentini – Lead Vocals
This humorous, 30-second jingle begins with a beautiful guitar intro. It was written when Byron was doing radio call-in shows about his book, Balance Your Choices.

3) Earth Underture
Same artists as I Come From Earth song
This is Byron rapping over the track of I Come From Earth. This song mentions every song title on the album, or a reference to the lyrics. This song began, the first line, as a response to the last lines of Balance Your Choices, which was only a joke, but I had to respond.

4) Beyond
Same artists as I Come From Earth song
This is a continuation over the track of I Come From Earth. This is one of the deeper lyrical songs on the album, a philosophical rap about not knowing everything, culminating in a quote from Chinese philosopher, Confucius, and the advice given from an old man.

5) Earth Reprise
Same artists as I Come From Earth song
This is a reprise of I Come From Earth, with the lead guitar instruments varied slightly, including a lead guitar part that's a tribute to the late Tommy Bolin. It's the middle section, which was edited from the main version of I Come From Earth. And there's a bit of Dobro and Steel Guitar at the very end, which could be a sneak peek at another future version of I Come From Earth...

Written and Produced by Byron Lee Scott
Mastering by Luis “The LP” Pacheco at The Hideout Studios, Las Vegas

About the First Song Suite, from Byron: This 5-part suite of songs was one of three selections on the album that were written or put together after the album was initially finished, decided. It started with the idea of The First Song and kept growing.

Trying to do everything to release music can be a huge task, especially for small, independent artists. It's easy to get caught up in all the promoting and make a task list that keeps growing and is impossible. So, I just remind myself, I simply love writing songs, that's it.

Nevertheless, I hold to the idea that sharing music on the internet is a fantastic music explosion, and artists have it easy to share music compared to the old ways before internet streaming. It's easy to get caught up in all the promoting shenanigans and make a task list that keeps growing and is impossible. So, I just remind myself, I simply love writing songs, that's it.

Koji is amazing, and later we will add more ways for you to interact, make videos for our songs, and who knows what other shenanigans.

Enjoy Life

lyrics

Section 1
It's the first song
Finally putting music on the internet
It's the first song
We need to make sure everything is working right

Setting up the website,
artist pages, promo, social media
All that shenanigans
The album's finished Luis says it's ready to go

The song about the summertime
They tell me that it's all about the timing
It sure would be a shame ya' know
if we released it in the fall

So why don't we make a first song
We need to make sure everything is working right

Don't forget the radio
A t-shirt with the album on the front and back
Publicity releases
and maybe a song on a late night TV show

So here's the first songwriterIt's time to jam a little now, take it

Instrumental Section

The song about the summertime
They tell me that it's all about the timing
It sure would be a shame ya' know
if we released it in the fall

So why don't we make a first song
That's what I'm talkin' about

Section 2
Balance your choices carefully
Prioritize with foresight
Live every day like it's your last
And someday you're probably right... right

Section 3
but I don't really know those answers
some things are beyond
Maybe there's no stopping
when you come from the Earth
and you're spinning 'round the Sundayhaving lots of summer fun
makin' memories that last
so have a blast
livin' the free way
flyin' like a butterfly
dancin' in heaven
down to the river
And don't ask for much
just a little love and such
yeah a little love and such every day, that's the way
Then pass it on
'Cause there's somebody out there
waitin for you. So whatever you do
don't forget that it's all about the love you give
and nobody can take that away

Section 4
Well now there's a power down deep inside
And it's everywhere
inside every single cell
Aw, but what the heck,
it's beyond me. Much respect
Well maybe some day I'll find out the answers
I think there's somethin' out there
I can feel it. I don't know what to call it
The Universe, energy, or just beyond me
Well, Confucius said that wisdom
Is knowng what you know
and knowing what you don't know
Yeah, it's beyond me
and I like it that way, like a child
The best advice that I ever received was from an old man
Whe he looked at me and said, “Enjoy Life!”
When you come from Earth

Section 5
Guitar Solo
Hey hey where you come from? I come from Earth
Hey hey where you come from?
I come from Earth. I come from...
Say what? Earth cousin
Hey hey where you come from? I come from Earth
I come from... Earth

The music is heavily guitar and synthesizer based. On various songs, there are orchestrations, a vibraphone, a clarinet, and sound effects.

Scott sings all the male vocals, along with seven female vocalists, chosen to fit each song, and as you might expect, the vocal harmonies are most interesting.
