This video, recorded live, obviously reflects some heavy subject matter...the song is deeply personal and its been in the archives of the hard disc in my head for quite some time... actually i have quite a few songs/video's that i haven't posted. A video, after it's debut, unfortunately fades into oblivion after a few days. It has it's glorious run and then fades into a footnote, or maybe in a box that says "top videos"...not that that's such a bad thing...it's just the way it is. I am not here 2 offend anyone....but i'm not creating or writing music 2 please the record exec's 'ANYMORE'...it is no longer an 'intense' goal 2 launch a career in the corporate world of 'top forty'...I will no longer be censored, or more importantly, I will no longer censor myself. So again, I'm not here 2 offend anyone. These may be the last days of 'freedom of speech'...the last days of our freedom of expression, and i'm not going to spend them walking around on my tippy-toes. i hope u dig it...
c'mon man...it's all in good fun!!!
"The Patriot Act"
wzup wich all of ya's.... well this time I made a video that really shows the internal workings of just how videos r made!!! "Where did everybody go", the 1st vid that i posted here on youtube is actually a video from almost 20yrs ago!!! but hey...don't let me spoil the story!!! yeah no shit...this music video is ancient...in fact I had lost it for years until I accidentally stumbled on it again, then I had a friend transfer the vhs tape to an mpg format so I could post my 1st video onto this new crazy, nutty website called "youtube" back in 2005!!!

opening song form cd of the same name...find it on cdbaby
interview with 'audio prophecy' on youtube
this is a tune that i had written long, long ago....Embarrassingly enough...just under 20 yrs. ago! I really had completely forgotten it, until 1 day recently I sat down at the piano, for the 1st time in ages and there it was. It's amazing why or how are memories work the way they do...
For those of you who might not know...this was 1 of the tunes that represented the civil rights movement in the 60's. I recorded "We shall overcome" and gave it my own twist and arrangement. "We shall overcome" is perhaps even more relevant today with the struggles that lie before us. This song will forever remain timeless!
The politics of war and murder...men of power are corrupt 90% of the time. I don't know why I ever thought different. But one day, far from today...the light will shine though the darkness. How long can we take and take from our home? When we've exhausted every inch of beauty, every forest...when we have poisoned all of the seven seas. WILL WE DESTROY OURSELVES? WE INDEED MAY SOMEDAY DESTROY OURSELVES... BUT OUR SPIRITS SHALL LIVE FOREVER (try selling that to a man of science)
it started out has a guitar riff and the lyrics came flowing out from there...i'm sure that the lies will go on and on about why or what we're doing in iraq. The truth is to much...lives sacrificed over money, oil, greed, power. Most people would rather not know...but sooner or later things will start to change here at home. They already have.
If I were to write a letter to Mr President Bush...it would go like this!
have you heard the news??? The bees are dying!!!
oh my god...please help me....i'm too far gone.... i have relapsed yet again... everybody....help me please....for i have the "youtube blues" this is no reflection upon veoh....but still you gotta help me...
what is happening to our country, our government, our soldiers...It is a living hell in the middle east and our troops are right in the middle of it....why? I've created this song and video for some bizarre concept called peace, i know how delusional.... sad isn't it... where do you stand http://www.ralphbuckley.com
have you seen rudolph...i seen him down and out in an alley...he was sharing a bottle with a poet and a clown who was crying... merry christmas!!! watch out for 2007
A song that I wrote after reading an article about a typical day in iraq
Aids is still the plague of modern times... though it seems that people forget
religious fanaticism,religious faith,rewards in the afterlife....murder... "the suicide bomber"
