GRITSTONER  - (TPMB rehearsal 2018)

The FL Vocal Series, always well-received, has brought something interesting to my attention.

Previously, I introduced an imaginary band formed in my mind's London, Cat Synthesizers. After five years, they have released their second album.

Their first album, "Cat is a Love, Love is a Cat," was a collection of upbeat and cheerful songs.

However, their latest release, "No Cat No Life," marks a departure from their live band reputation. This time, the album focuses on more thoughtful compositions that even cats can dance to.

Today, I'll share one of the tracks with you, "AWAY," it’s an energetic.

Verse 1:
Cosmic power surges through the air,
Towers whisper secrets, beyond compare.
Who wields this power, in this cosmic game,
As we dance to the rhythm of their claim?

Chorus:
Are we pawns, destined to be controlled,
Brainwashed by whispers, our minds to be sold?
A social charade, where we're led astray,
By the siren's song of the digital fray?

Verse 2:
Codependence weaves its insidious web,
As we surrender to the manufacturer's plea.
Compliance, the price we pay for connection,
A hollow substitute for genuine affection.

Chorus:
Are we mere pawns, destined to be controlled,
Brainwashed by whispers, our minds to be sold?
A social charade, where we're led astray,
By the siren's song of the digital fray?

Bridge:
The cosmic power, a double-edged sword,
Uniting us, yet tearing us apart.
In the pursuit of progress, we lose our way,
As we become slaves to the digital sway.

Verse 3:
Let us break free from this cosmic tether,
Entrance our humanity, 
Embrace our humanity, together.
Real connection, in the flesh and blood,
Not in the fluttering screens of the digital flood.

Outro:
No longer pawns, we'll rise above the fray.
To build a world with understanding...

Fighting Pose

Dedicated to some folks in my life who've picked me up along the way, especially through music...

This is one I'm pretty proud of.  Oddly, it's the first time I’ve written a full original song with me singing my own lyrics. I'm joined by the uber talented @TexMex-Shaman, who is wielding the lead electric guitar starting at the first verse through to the end. (this is the second time now where my vocal melody is partly inspired by his magical playing!) He also lends his mastering skillz to great effect here. Thanks TMS for truly bringing this to life with your playing! 
All other instruments are played by me on the keyboard - acoustic guitar, bass, organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, 2nd electric guitar (the higher one in verse 2), horns, drums & percussion, words and voice. The chorus is supposed to sound like a 60's soul song, like Marvin Gaye meets Van Morrison. If you play this more than once I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll be stuck with it in your head all day.  :)

This one's a personal one for me, so thanks for listening, and for picking us up with your music!

LYRICS: 

Verse 1
alone in the corner, that old six string whispers to me
ah but when daddy played, he could set your spirit free 
like the drops in the rain, or a forest tall and green
there's music alive all around
and mamma she told me, you must listen for more than the sound
and hear with your heart

Chorus     
(And then she’d) 
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up,  
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up, 
pick me up higher 

Verse 2
Now I’m writing my own song… makin’ music with old friends and new
But the joy of my days, are my beautiful daughter and you
And when you play that song, she would close her eyes and sway
all the while as she sings
And man when I hear her, whispered memories they lift me up still
like a bird on the wind

Chorus
