Very nice Song, Vocal and Music production. So beautiful. 👌👌👌👌

This is piercing me to the core. And if I can recover enough to say it, the two guitar sounds are well twinned.

This song went directly through my heart! 100% touched! Thanks for sharing!!

stumbled across this - it's a brilliant piece of music and your vocals are terrific

nice, I like these folk songs better but your rock stuff is really good too.

Strangers to Me

Hi musical friends,

Was playing around with some classical sounds :-)

Hope you like it<3

Serenity

We can never show enough solidarity ...

The Tough

Puti jumps on Ukraine
Joey breaks his Bank
Scholtzy lose the oil
Greta calls our Prank

Scholtzy moves to sunshine
Spinning pinwheels too
Xi Da owns da blades & Panes
Oh Bother what to do?

Jia Chong gets Joey’s Moula
Scholtzy’s skies are clear
Puti smashes satellites
And Donny blows hot air

Ohhh bother
What’s a mother to do?

Oh father

So I lay my head on Daddy’s lap
And Mother sings to me:

"Hush a bye don’t u cry
Go to sleep you little baby
When you you wake you’ll have cake
And all the pretty little horses"

She sings,
"Oh darlin don’t u know?

When the going gets tough
The tough got to go"

Go to sleep

Go to work

Go to heaven
Go to jail

Go get take-out

Go to hell

Oh Xi Xi, 
Oh Puti, 
Oh Donny & Mitch,

Oh mommy and daddy,

When the going gets tough

The tough got to go

The Tough

Happy New Year from The Welcome Parade!!

We hope 2022 will be the start of something quite exceptional for everyone.  I think we are all due a bit of a respite from the current state of affairs! 

Lyrics:
I'm moving slow and steady
wind your watch here comes the ready
looking so unsteady
I think you had enough already

Time is slowly finding time to leave you without time
now you've seen the time you've taken was you're own decline

1234

I'm moving slow and steady
wind your watch here comes the ready
looking so unsteady
I think you had enough already

The Welcome Parade is proud to release our first two tracks of 2022

The Ready - This piece starts with our usual Skype call and some drinks, after a few rounds and a lack of focus that requires another call. The next call we dedicate to getting the music business accomplished before we drift off topic. First on the list to complete is "The Ready" a heavy piece that has a unique frenzy to it.  

Edges with a bit of fury and finesse,  Jay's tense vocal work pushes this beautifully in the punk direction.  Perhaps something you might encounter in a Tarantino movie...preferably one with Selma Hayek in it! Thom with his top shelf fret board dancing, creates a complex texture that keeps you on the edge of your seat.  Finally Jeff keeping the piece grounded with some pounding bass work! 

On a final note...this track gets me off the hook for a request made to me by Jay's bride!  To have Jay perform something as an Englishman!  Huzzah and mission accomplished! 

Not Today - See "Not Today"

I hope one day the world looks at us and says...we got to get these guys together!  If not I am just very happy to have a couple of friends with a musical connection that exists as something so natural, it is difficult to keep the components separate, to realize where one ends and another begins. 

You guys rock and I am so glad to have you as friends and musical companions...rock on mi amigos!

The Ready

The Ready (by The Welcome Parade)

How do you feel about the rights of others, or about your own?
A mood statement about otherness and uniqueness, sexuality and self-determination.

With great thanks to all involved, may the future be better!

*Milky*
aye aye aye … listen up …

What were you conditioned to believe in?
Is a woman and a man equal are they even?
Love is unconditional then does it need a reason?
If a man loves a man is he a heathen?

If we both love girls have a threesome
bring her cousin, get our freak on
I don’t really care who I put meat on 
you can turn the lights off, baby leave the beat on

I be like …

Love who you wanna love.
fuck who you wanna fuck, suck who you wanna suck.
Love who you wanna love.
Plus you can never love too much

yeah and really though:

See I don’t fuck with the requirements
and I don’t chime in when the choir sings
Hose you down like the firemen
I think the patriarchy needs retirement, so I’m denying them.

• Are you under the rainbow looking up or on a high-horse looking down?

*Malu*
Gay pride wants you to fall, why don't you want that pot of gold. 

*Peter*
You do you I'ma do me
we don't gotta be enemies
jus because we disagree
everyone is entitled to their own opinion
not hurtin anyone continue livin how you livin
be who you are don't hide yoself
if you do then you'll always feel by yoself
I'm not gay but if I was
what other people thought I wouldn't give a fuck
so nothin against anybody that is
it's your choice to live the life you live
live it
people fear what they don't understand
it's double bad if you're a gay Black Man
some men love to see Women kiss
but not 2 men yo that don't make sense
but again people like what they like
but what what you likes not a reason to take yo life

• Are you under the rainbow looking up or on a high-horse looking down?

*Malu*
Misogyny and hate, your mother would be so ashamed. 
Within your lyrics, there beats a second pulse. 
But you don't care as long as you wear gold. 

*Couch*
Looking up not giving up
Sure footing not secure enough 
Thru signaling escape rebuff  
Still limiting by law will snuff

Ya think ya finna stand right up
Until ya bout to loose ya stuff 
Ya medals and your trophy cups
Your devils that a cause stir up

Your chance to be the best in club
Your stance that causes mass erupt
Societal division ta
Keep the power that is stuck  

This ain’t disorderly conduct   
When independence disrupts they don’t give a fuck 
When it comes down to it will I give it up 
Step down from looking down and start looking up

*Malu*
Gay pride wants you to fall, why don't you want that pot of gold. 
Within your lyrics, there beats a second pulse. 
But you don't care as long as you wear gold. 

• Are you under the rainbow looking up?

Under The Rainbow

Under The Rainbow #Fabi|Milky Himself|Malu|Peter Sparker|Couch King

This piece was inspired by a short phrase that caught my attention in  Bach's Organ Sonata No.4, played by the prodigiously talented Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson. As is often the case for me, finding the notes in that short phrase started me on a journey, and after a number of miss steps and U-turns I ended up here.

Fallen

From Moscow to Siberia, people have taken to the streets in many Russian cities to demonstrate against the war in Ukraine. People chanted "No to war!". The anti-war protests had begun on Thursday after Russian troops invaded Ukraine. Hundreds of protesters have been detained daily since then. The protests appeared to be smaller than those on Thursday, when thousands gathered in Moscow and St. Petersburg. But the true scale was difficult to gauge...

No To War! (свобода)

Wrote this song while vacationing in Acapulco. I wanted to include “you know - you know I love you” in spanish in the song. So I asked the Hotel Chamber Maid how to to say this in her language. She started giving me strange & weird looks until I realized she thought I was trying to make some moves on her. Then I explained to her that it was for a song chorus and everything was cool!



MEXICAN LOVE SONG 

Flying high - laying low in Mexico
watching the winds blow - incognito
there she was just walking on the sands
her eyes telling me “Hey You The Man”
she took - she took - she took me by surprise
the look - the look - the look of love was in her eyes.

Tu sabes - tu sabes 
que te quiero - que te quiero 
and
you know - you know - you know
you know - you know - you know
that I love you
que te quiero.

Acapulco shining on her skin
“Hey Amigo you wanna swim with the dolphins?”
You sit next to the pool - you know you’ll get splashed
your hopes and dreams they won’t get cashed
well feel like I’ve died - I’ve died and gone to heaven
she’s my good-luck charm  24/7.

Tu sabes - tu sabes 
que te quiero - que te quiero 
and
you know - you know - you know
you know - you know - you know
that I love you
que te quiero.










Mexican Love Song

i will fit oceans

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!
