Our awesome Japanese friend Tot. (@tot-beat, @user-288513022) was on the drums and bass - thanks again so much for working with us on this fun song, Tot.~ We had a blast!

Art by Masha using Prismacolor Coloured Pencils, which were an amazing gift from @katyasolo. Cheers for that, Katya!

Synth work by Rob Ulysses (@rob-ulysses) and Masha Solo (@masha-solo) Masha also wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals.

This song's story is that one day, Rob & Masha were doing deliveries for a summer-long job in 2021 when Masha spotted an old 60s van in a junkyard and snapped a quick photo, later the two of them making the event into a full song with the help of Tot.

At the same time as Tot. was working on a drum and bass conga style beat but he had no other parts, Rob & Masha were already working on synth parts and a fun chiptunes solo, but they had no drums! So when they heard each other's work in progress, it was only natural that they combined the two into a sort of Farewell To Summer song from their vivid summer memory.

This track is remixable, as long as it's noncommercial.

Lyrics:

Swag And a Bag

Once in my travels, two summers past,
I was on a long road trip for work around Oz,
On country roads, with sugarcane vast,
I saw something that made me drive back and pause,
I saw something that made me drive back and pause...

It really caught my eye,
And I still don't really know why!
But I had to take a photo,
Before I went back to work

It was just this really old van!

In an old junkyard, full of wildflowers, tropical brush,
(And although my job demanded I rush)
I saw that there was an old 60’s van that had seen better days,
It looked like it had seen so many sights, although now decays

(It was just this really old van!)

Before I moved on, I snapped a photograph,
On the side it said something that made me laugh (hah)
“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph
x2

I wondered who had once owned it and why,
If it was for tourists, who’d used it nearby,
What kind of adventures it had been on,
Even though its road trip days were gone
x2

I didn't even really know what 'Swag and a Bag' would mean,
I had to look it up.
But apparently it's really lucky-
It's like when something really good happens to you.
And I found that message positive.

“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph

“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph!

...And I found that message positive.

Swag And A Bag

FULL INSTRUMENTAL!

“The Way” started with a piano melody and kept unfurling as I healed from the loss of a few loved ones last year…which was capped off with my beautiful family dogs both passing. The lyrics to this song took on their loss, but the whole thing is really an open entry from my own grief process through to happiness again.

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and I were just sniffing each other out. We'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and I was having trouble with latency in my recording. Out of frustration, I recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, I got my recording issues settled and we continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten.
In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion.
Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher.
You can even watch a video of us all adding our parts on John's page right here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mdeT8ySZ…owTechniqueCovers
Our hope is that we honored the almighty Led Zeppelin with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

I have always admired music, of diverse styles. Like most of us, I have tried learning to play a few instruments at a basic level in my teenage. But it is only now, in the 21st century, that modern software allows anyone to fool around being the composer, the designer of a whole composition, simpler or more complex, organising together the parts of the various instruments - and to hear the results of this experimentation or inspiration instantly! That is how I have recently begun enjoying the distraction of attempts at composing during my leisure, discovering an amazing dimension of life, and art, perhaps the most intangible, heightening and hypnotising one, and the closest to the soul... (21 August 2017) ... Forgot to mention: music is for sharing - that's why we are all here! (4 September 2017)
