A trio of gorgeous days here in Arkansas inspired this cover. I was inspired by @numbersinthedream for the vocal approach. I didn't come close. I don't know how he does it.

Lessons

Liar Liar

I've been in love with making slow synth covers of songs, here's another late night version of a classic: Mr. Blue by the Fleetwoods, released in 1983

Lyrics: 

Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said no
Now his silver turned to blue

Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue 
When you say you love me 
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Proving your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue 
When you say you're sorry 
Then turn around, head for the lights of town
Hurting me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue

I stay at home at night
Right by the phone at night 
But you won't call
And I won't hurt my pride 

I won't tell you 
Why you paint the town 
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm painting it too
But I'm painting it blue
Call me Mr. Blue 
Call me Mr. Blue 
Call me Mr. Blue

Mr. Blue

Slippery slope

Originally recorded this in 2017 but I learned a thing or two about mixing and mastering since then. Also I have better tools to perform said mixing and mastering more adequately. So I went back to the recording and fixed the drums, guitars, bass, vocals, overall mix and mastering treatment.

Especially this track for the run at the time was in need of it (I am happy with the other tracks for the most part).

enjoy!


lyrics

firing shots into the unknown
already lost inside a dead zone
no walls at all to run into
no prayers and thoughts that can reach you
a realm of fading memory
like slipping away under the sea
with a side of anxiety

forever life under construction
poised to rake the interaction
the fallen cry to reroll dice
but it all went down with the other lies
and none to witness the sacrifice

Ein Mash Up RMX...

welcher die LIEBE aus zwei Perspektiven betrachtet , die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten , und schlussendlich gnadenlos wahr ist..
Viel Spass !

Burnin' Burner - Riff Beach and Rock Flexible

Jamie sent me this incredible instrumental track he'd entitled "The Future Is Now" and said "I was wondering if you had time to add something to this?"
 
"OK" I said remembering my Brit Cool just in time. (I was very honoured to be asked and equally knocked out by the track...) I thought about that phrase "The Future Is Now" and how some people seem to be in a rush to cancel the past. As any history student knows; it is not who wins the battle or conducts the pious deed but whose record survives the interim years.

Walking across the countryside one frequently comes across large lakes and reservoirs and hears stories about the submerged villages with a fabled church bell that sometimes still doles out a message from the deep, on occasions or anniversaries of great import. (fromtheedges.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/…nken-bells/)

I do wonder if we deny and bury our past, who will understand the dolorous bells' messages from forgotten landscapes behind our burning bridges or even hear them: We're Building A Dam - It's an anguished cry for help as the very shore we crept out of the sea onto, slips back under the waves already lapping at our feet... and the telling of stories ends of our own doing, as the flood erases true history and our villages disappear under the water...

@jamie-rhind was the lead bell ringer and carillon player 
 @janinelevinson the wondrous mermaid that sings and tends to the sunken bells 
@phil-mcwalter sat on the shrinking shore, listening, playing guitar and singing the old stories with them...

We're Building A Dam

When you think you've found the answer, it's only begun
When you think you've found the answer, it's only begun

By the riverside I find my fire, I find my fire
By the riverside our souls collide, our souls collide
By the riverside I touch the earth, I touch the earth
By the riverside your skin and mine, your skin and mine

Sticks and stones break my bones in a forest fire
Life is like a hurricane, you will never dry
I see desire in his eyes, his eyes with fire
There is only one earth, we can't let it die

Fire

Just saw this band March 25th, 2023 and they were amazing!!!!!

Late at night gazing out into the late at night
I see deep in the world 'til I open my eyes
Every day brakes screech outside my window
Those crashing cars never seem to collide
Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
Catch the stars and watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
It blows my mind
Every day I'm drawn to my window
I can hear it if I open my eyes
Sometimes flashing lights seem so familiar
I know I've seen them circling me at night
I've been sending signals into outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
It blows my mind
Every day the restlessness takes over me
I can see it as I'm closing my eyes
I've been sending signals into outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
Sometimes when I'm staring out my window
Catch the stars and watch as they go by
I've been getting messages from outer space
They spiral like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky
Like a finger in the sky

"... they filled the stage with magic [...] and transported us to a place of inner peace and serenity even during the most energetic songs."  
- La Brújula Calahorra
