Bob Seger once told the New York Times that "Like A Rock was inspired partly by the end of a relationship that had lasted for 11 years. You wonder where all that time went? But beyond that, it expresses my feeling that the best years of my life may have been in my late teens with no special commitments and no career". This iconic tune was used in an advertising campaign for Chevrolet trucks that ran from 1991 - 2004, making it indelibly associated with the vehicles. The song helped sell a lot of Silverados, and is considered one of the best choices for an ad campaign in The History of Music. 'Like a Rock' was the Title song from the thirteenth studio album of same name by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1986. My own version humbly presented here with all due respect and appreciation for yet another Bob Seger Sparkly Gem. Did it in my own way, featuring Nylon Strings and Tele Tones floating around in the background.
"Like A Rock"
Bog Seger 
Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock
I was strong as I could be
Like a rock
Nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock
I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow-straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
Like a rock
Standin' arrow-straight
Like a rock
Chargin' from the gate
Like a rock
Carryin' the weight
Like a rock
Like a rock
The sun upon my skin
Like a rock
Hard against the wind
Like a rock
I see myself again
Like a rock
Oh, like a rock!

SOMEONE is Released now

Last Night You took me home to you
You said you just need some one to hold you 
We both knew what we needed tonight
Our souls are fused in the moonlight
sometimes you need someone to hold you 
someone to heal your pain
someone who can explain
someone to break your chain

Someone

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Me - Vocals and lyrics

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

Moments Of Stress - Continental Collision (by Rodolfo Planes/Mark J Bennett) on Spotify now

It is not about the famous astronomer, mathematician and philosopher who lived in the ancient city of Alexandria. Ipatia is one of the fictional cities in a work by Italo Calvino (‘The Invisible Cities’) published in 1972 (and translated into English in 1974). 
I composed this song in 1997 and recorded it (with Elisabetta) almost immediately (that's when I bought a Korg D8). Now I have simply remixed it after separating the tracks and improving the volume of the vocals and the equalisation of the classic guitar (it is a Yamaha CG 110CE pre-amplified, and the effects were adjusted then with the Korg). The arrangement is very sparse, the sound quality not optimal.

Lyrics (ENG - ITA)

if
you will explain to me why
you are reticent
only
if we talk about you
if
you will tell me what it is
that torments your life every time
I ask about you

then you will get as a prize
a wooden planisphere
and the encrypted map and the colours
of this secret drawing
and a round-trip ticket
to and from Ipazia
with me...

if
you will explain to me how is
that glimpse
that you delete from your eyes
When I osberve you
if
you will tell me why
your lips taste like ink
only when you kiss me
furtively

then you will have in pledge
this secret drawing
and the encrypted map
of the capital of the kingdom
and a round-trip ticket
to and from Ipazia
with me...

----------

se
mi spiegherai perché
sei reticente
solamente
se parliamo di te
se
mi dirai cos’è
che ti tormenta la vita ogni volta
che chiedo di te

allora avrai in premio
un planisfero di legno
e la mappa cifrata e i colori
di questo segreto disegno
e un biglietto
di andata e ritorno
da Ipazia
con me…

se
mi spiegherai com’è
quello sguardo
che cancelli dagli occhi
quando ti osservo
se
mi dirai perché
hai le labbra che sanno d’inchiostro
solo quando mi baci
di nascosto

allora avrai in pegno
questo segreto disegno
e la mappa cifrata
della capitale del regno
e un biglietto
di andata e ritorno
da Ipazia
con me ...

Lorsque j'ai proposé ce concept à mon Ami Suédois «Seagull» https://soundcloud.com/farout-music-studio pour une éventuelle collaboration, celui-ci avec sa grande gentillesse, a immédiatement accepté de partager cette petite aventure musicale, en y apportant quelques éléments de guitare acoustique …. Et pour donner, à cette bande audio "French_Fantasy", des harmonies très subtiles.
Je l'en remercie chaleureusement ….
Avec la voix de Clara Sorace …. qui est pour nous deux, et en grande partie, un lien de notre complicité.

Lyrics :

(Verse 1)
I wish one day you take me to New York
Dance all night and feel the city’s roar
We’d wander the busy streets of New York
You’d make me feel like I’m a movie star

Un jour j’aimerais t’emmener à New York
Tu s’rais ma star, mon plus beau des trésors
On f’rait la fête sur les toits de New York
Que notre amour puisse briller plus encore

(Pre Chorus)
I don’t mind anyway
Anywhere I go on holiday
I don’t mind anyway
All I want is party everyday

(Verse 2)
I wish one day you take me to Bangkok
To feel the heat it’s what I’m calling for
Live one of those famous nights in Bangkok
Where all the sins are secrets to explore

Un jour j’aimerais t’emmener à Bangkok
Tu s’rais ma reine, mon idole que j’adore
J’prierai dans tous les temples de Bangkok
Que notre amour soit de plus en plus fort

(Pre Chorus)
I don’t mind anyway
Anywhere I go on holiday
I don’t mind anyway
All I want is party everyday

(Outro )
Yeah let’s go to party
Yeah let’s move our body
Yeah Let’s go to party
And we’re all having a good time

Lyrics

Forget that anything's wrong.
I find it hard to do, without you everything's gone. 
Try to pull myself back together.
But still I'm clouded by stormy weather.
Time won't make anything right.
I wish that I could hold you, hold you so tight.
The world can be so cold, but we knew that.
I'd trade my life for yours, if I could do that.

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday. 

Please momma please don't cry.
Give me one last kiss and hug me goodbye.
It'll be ok, I'm going to a better place.
With ladybugs and purple flowers everywhere.
I cant wait to see your face.
You've got to be strong, you're right where you belong. 
The clock will run out someday, and then with me you'll stay. 

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday. 

Momma sang. 
Me something beautiful. 
As I went to sleep. 
Unafraid. 
Waiting so patiently. 
Soon you'll see.
Momma sang. 
A voice I know so well. 
Come what may
Now awake.
Comfortably waiting to be. 
With you someday.
