For The Bus Kings, these songs have been important pieces in their journeys as musicians, as partners (in life and love), and as humans. Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting this evolution.
The Bus Kings are Daniel & Josa Pounds.
All songs written, composed, sung, played, recorded and mixed by The Bus Kings inside their humble shuttle-bus-home on a Zoom H6 into Garageband. This is a homespun experience and the first of mare to come!
Please take a moment to learn more about the inspirations and stories behind these original songs.
PIECES ~ Sometimes two people are so close they are like one person...
Perhaps this is called “enmeshment”. It can be beautiful, but also painful as you push away to find
where you and the other person actually start and end... the process can feel like you are breaking
to “pieces”. We have felt these growing pains within our relationship together, and that is the place from which we wrote “Pieces”. This song continues to take on new meanings for us and we hope it will be meaningful to you too.
"Let it Slide"started as a beautiful melody line Daniel had found on his guitar, which quickly inspired the lyrics to this song.
This song is a true "story" about some things we have gone through. We are so proud of how we managed to make it through some rough times. Together we found and nurtured our music within the process of healing. This song has been incredibly theraputic to sing and we hope you find the it the same way as you listen.
When people die we believe that their spirit goes to be with God. Many believe that God is EVERYWHERE. Perhaps this is why we see signs that our loved ones are still with us after they pass....because if they have gone to be with God then they are now, also, everywhere. "My sister passed & now I find dimes everywhere...dimes were her thing"... There was this "wish" that floated through our bus window..it reminded us of Daniels sister who'd recently passed...so we started to write this song.
Most of our songs we both put a lot into... but this particular song, "Old Man Mystery", seemingly fell straight out of the heavens and onto a pad of paper Daniel was holding! I (Josa) went to the market and came back 15 minutes later to find Daniel had written this entire song with all the words & music already composed... it was amazing and mysterious. It happened so fast! I Iove when this happens to Daniel ..to witness his spirit receive music in this way has been a real wonder & blessing.
We were all alone camping by the Salton Sea...waiting for the full moon to Eclipse. It was exceptionally hot and this night only cooled to about 90 degrees...but thank goodness for the wind that night to counter the aggressive temperature!! ... well ...seeing as we were the only ones around and that the full moon was calling "Josa, it's just you and your husband so take off your shirt and letthem *itties out for some air" which inspired this song...when kids are around we say "KITTIES"
Eric Clapton and acoustic music is a real favorite around here... We take careful pride and honor in covering any song he has written. We also have fun in adding our own twists, tastefully, to these classics. We are delighted to present you with our newest cover-duet, BELL BOTTOM BLUES (Clapton & Whitlock, 1970)
About 3 years ago, music began to move through us as a couple. We finally discovered that we make beautiful harmonies together and also have a knack for writing songs together! Our love for each other and for music continues to grow still everyday. We are TRULY having the time of our lives singing together. We hope you will follow us on this journey, as our spirits and music are woven into the holy fibers of eternity.
OH YEAH AND.... We live and travel full time in a converted shuttle bus. We also enjoy BUSKING (street performing) often. We are The Bus Kings and very naturally, a band. Thanks for catching up with us.
