very cool retro vibes :) Fantastic production :)

Nice musical flow, lyric and vocals//production on point!!

Very nice ! Pure middle 60’s spirit & sounds, LuV it 😘

I'm hearing a lot of great artists influencing this one. And yet the track definitely has its own identity. And it made me smile - thank you for that!

another listen and sent it out to my FB friends. Great sunny day song.

Just chock full of delightful retro perfection with endless tasty licks peppering the landscape. Very professional stuff for sure, and a super fun listen Adam! Durge

Dark synth and bass-sounds, some selfmade effects, my voice, heavy guitars, some drumsamples from old drummachines, these are the ingredients of this track ...

I did this song a few years ago before Merle died on my Godin nylon string guitar.  A bit different with a little influence from other artist like Jerry Reed and others.  Forgive me Merle and Merle Haggard fans.  I love this man's work

" INNER STRENGHT"

Herzlich Willkommen, zu unserem neuen Lied " Innerliche Stärke ".
Durch das Leben  finden Colin und ich immer wieder neue Inspirationen für die Musik , sie gibt uns soviel innerliche Stärke weitere schöne Kompositionen zu produzieren.
Wenn ich an meinem Piano sitze , kommen mir immer Melodien in meinen Kopf und ich nehme sie auf , wie auch dieses mal. Danach spielte ich noch andere Instrumente ein und sendete es zu Colin , er spielte dann auch noch mit anderen Instrumenten seine Ideen hinzu , und so wurden aus vielen Puzzelteilen diese Komposition !
Die Musik gibt Colin und mir immer wieder innerliche Kraft und Motivation , auch mit vielen Situationen im unserem Leben zu verarbeiten ,dass sich sehr Positiv im Leben auswirkt . 
Fast jeder von uns hat ein Hobby , dass wir zum Ausgleich von unserem Alltag brauchen und bei uns ist es die Musik .
Colin und ich hoffen , dass wir auch Ihnen mit unserem neuen Lied Freude , Dankbarkeit und Liebe schenken können .

Colin´s worte : 
I love the way that when I first hear a track from Oliver that I can almost instantly hear a melody that I can add and this track was no exception.

Oliver provided wonderful piano, strings, various flutes and a horn and viola melody to which I added my guitars and bass guitar as usual but also layered the big drum sounds and added rolls and cymbal crashes to provide maximum impact. I also added the cello melodies and, at Oliver's request, the sound of the wind at the start of the track.

This was a larger than usual project for me to mix (25 tracks) which provided a challenge (especially as I do all my recording and mixing on my iPad) but I am really happy with the end result. Thank you, Oliver, for this wonderful learning opportunity!

I think this is our best track to date and, to me, it really portrays the Inner Strength, the strength that can come from within in times of stress or adversity to help us find or fight our way through back to happiness. We just have to look inside to find that strength, we all have it, we just have to go within.

The Bottom

“On This Side of Heaven”

Music by TheGat(s) https://soundcloud.com/thegats
Vocals by Wild Christopher https://soundcloud.com/wild-christopher-lyrics

Lately I’ve been going through the motions
Pretending I understand
Looking for a magic potion
Happiness on demand
But now I’m beginning to question
How things ought to be

On this side of heaven 
Hold on mightily 
Does anyone love anyone 
Unconditionally

First I look for the love to build
To grow inside of me
I don’t need a worldly touch
I need truth, compassion and strength
What I mistook for love before
There are no guarantees

On this side of heaven 
Hold on mightily 
Does anyone love anyone 
Unconditionally

What it took for a love to fill
My heart up, you see
I don’t need a worldly crutch
I need grace and a bended knee

I come 
I’m broken
I kneel down humbly
And I feel Your compassion
Building up inside of me

On this side of heaven 
Love Unconditionally

On This Side Of Heaven - with TheGat(s)

I pick you up
When you're down
In my car we drive around this town
We just run around 
Yeah we run around 

We get high
When we’re low
We take a ride and crank the radio
We just run around
All around this town

I’ve been stuck in a muddle
Making waves in sidewalk puddles
Staring at my wall
Waiting for your call

Pretty girls
Stupid boys
Dodging cops and making too much noise
As we runaround
Yeah  we runaround

Out all day
Up all night
We love the color of the morning light
As we runaround
All around this town

I’ve been stuck in a muddle
Making waves in sidewalk puddles
Staring at my wall
Waiting for your call

First you’re born
Then you die
The only way that you know you’re alive
Is to run around
All around this town

I’ve been rocking and reeling
Trippin on that summer feeling
The flowers on my wall
Don’t comfort me at all
I’m waiting for your call
For your call
For your call
For your call

FELINE FEVER

You are my prized possession
My one and only obsession
I'm never gonna give you up
Give you up
Oh-No not me
No-No

You are my true desire
My boy flamin' fire
You're the only one who brings on
This high feline-fever in me

And when the lights go down at night
I'm gonna put my naughty on strong
Well it's what you want
I'm gonna make you sweat
Til' you can't sweat no more

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin' me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on
Without even tryin'

Cuz' Y-O-U Honey
Are makin' me wild and crazy
Your boy flamin'-fire 
Turns me right on
So goo-ood

It's in the way you walk
It's in the way you talk
Ahn, it's in the way you dress 
You know it messes with my head
It messes with my head

It's in the way you look at me
Gazin' all so prettily
Baby you're turnin' it on
You're turnin' it ah-on
Wo-Oh...Oh

You are my Baby
I need you to make me wild and
Wild and crazy Baby, Darlin', Honey Bun

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on 
Without even tryin' now

(Contemplating) with Myself

Contemplating (with Myself)

Nemesis

I started this a few weeks ago, when I was feeling more than a bit discouraged.

I know everyone gets to feeling this way sometimes, and so this is my offering to all of you who periodically feel this sense of hopelessness. I know what it is like. Hang in there, pray, ask a friend for help, know that there is always someone who cares. Know that I care, even if I don't know you by face or even by name. Perhaps one day I will.

Even more importantly, know that God cares. Never forget that.

Hope Transcendent

This track was created very spontaneously, but not by accident. It's time to fix my flying ship. Because I really want to ascend to heaven again and go to unknown spaces. I will take my friends with me and will definitely bring you some music!

Fixing My Airship

Help with fixing

Baby of the 80s, teen of the 90s, obsessed with the 60s and 70s; an FM wannabe in a Youtube world. I guess I just wasn't made for these times. I like songwriting in the Gershwin, Tin Pan Alley, Lennon/McCartney tradition. I prefer records to singles. I prefer three minutes to ten.

According to my mama, I was whistling before I learned to talk. I played organ in the Memphis garage rock scene between 2000 and 2016. I've done a lot of studio work, adding keys to records by songwriters that I really admire.

I'm now focused on recording my own songs. I have a minimal home recording set up with a laptop, microphones, cheap guitars, drums, piano, and a grab bag of other toys. All my lyrics rhyme with the truth, or at least I think they do. 

Life is short and there are more good songs then there are raindrops. Which is to say: thank you very much for lending me your ears.

Rock 'n' roll is dead, long live rock 'n' roll.
