She's Not There (Rod Argent)

Album:   The Eyes of the Overworld

	This song takes it's inspiration from Cugel, self styled “the Clever”, the protagonist in two of Jack Vance's “Dying Earth” novels.    He a small time rogue, thief, con-man, fence and general all purpose survivor in a world that demands quick wits, fast feet and utterly no conscience.   Not a nice person.
	People like Cugel have existed in our own world throughout history, still exist in our own time, and very likely will continue to exist for the entire future of humankind.   If you have never encountered such a person, it is possibly because you have led a sheltered life.


Lyrics:
	ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies
	the name of my game is midnight supply
	it fell off a truck, just dropped in my lap
	there really weren’t much I could do about that

	midnight supply,  midnight supply
	ask me no questions I’ll tell you no lies
	no lies		midnight supply

	I don’t carry much stock ‘cause I like to move fast
	those who move slow don’t often last
	tell me what item you have in mind
	come back next week, see what you can find

	I don’t give no credit, I don’t take no cards
	won’t honour a lay-by if it ain’t in the yard
	when I get hassled I’m gone in a flash
	just pick up your bargain and hand me the cash

	call me a sinner or call me a saint
	I won’t make no refunds, nor take no complaints
	ask me no questions I’ll tell you no lies
	the name of my game is midnight supply

I MADE UP THIS SONG, EVERYTHING COME'S FROM YOU
NOW THAT YOUR GONE, THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

I MESSED UP OUR LOVE, MESSED UP MY WORLD WITH YOU
IT'S TAKEN SO LONG, TO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING NEW
THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

(BREAK)

I LOOK BACK ON LIFE, I HAD NO CONTROL OF YOU
NOW FEELING ALIVE AND NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO
AND ALL THE REASON'S, THEY ALL TURN TO ASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY

IF I HAD MY TIME AGAIN
I WOULD NOT SURLY BE CALLING YOU MY FRIEND,  NO

THERE'S ALL THE FEELING'S, AND ALL THE BURNING CASH
NOW ALL THE SEASON'S, ALL COME IN ONE DAY
AND ALL THE REASON'S TO SAY, I HAD TO LET YOU GO

Lessons

Cortez the Killer (Neil Young)

2018! Fresh new track. Been holding onto this one for a minute wondering if I should post it. But i feel its fitting for the times.

Down & Blue

Stay in your lane
I know I’m not insane
I think that, the time has come
I should be on my way

Let’s all just take a breath
And think of common sense
I don’t know you, and you don’t know me
But don’t mean we can’t exist

I want to be so far away
From every city street
I can’t take one more step
It’s always filled with hate

Competition ain’t the same
As jealousy and deceit
Stop dumping all your problems away
Address the reasons they stay
Address the reasons they stay

There’s a time and place
You’re always in a race
If you slow down, I’ll give you my all
To keep you safe

So you back away
We never seem the same
I need you, to get off of me
There’s no reason to be

I want to be so far away
from every city street
I can’t take one more step
It's always filled with hate

Competition ain’t the same
As jealousy and deceit
Stop dumping all your problems away
Address the reasons they stay
Address the reasons they stay

Greed
By Tainted Icarus

Lyrics:
Open my eyes
Only to find
I've been lost in the race
And left somewhere behind

I reach out for you
But there's no reaching back
Gotta keep your place in line
For the pat on the back

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling all the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And my silent acquiescence and what that means

Just no telling what this means
You keep on collecting shit that ain't worth a hill of beans
And you keep on saying it's worth its weight in gold
And I keep on questioning the bill of goods that you've been sold

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
And your silent acquiescence and what that means

For the greediness and all the pain it brings
The quiet and hidden hands pulling on the strings
For decadent piles of collected things
Our silent acquiescence and what means

Special thanks to:
Bill from November Sound for your time and ears...as always my friend a total respect for your talents!

Notes: 

If you are here for the second time a deep thank you.  Someone asked how far I thought I could push this track on the production end.... here is my answer and challenge accepted.  I ended pulling the track to see how close to Stone Temple Pilot's - Sour Girl I could get.  

What a ride it has been as I delved into new things and endless moments of frustration.  If Tainted Icarus were a group of other people and I was doing their mixing,  I would have choked them all at least once.  Organic, dynamic and each of them powering up their performances...but damn does that make for some difficult mixing. 

Sour Girl is a dark, heavily compressed and tricked out track...plus some killer low end

At the end of the day or weeks in this case I pushed, pulled prodded, twisted and worked with no limitations.... yeah... maybe you shouldn't use an EQ like that... but if it seemed to get me closer away I went. 

A lot of dead ends and dark, lifeless tracks as I pushed...

Something important still eludes me and I think it may be something analog.  The slight pitch shifts and elongated/slurring of the drum track and Scott's vocal tonal shift are a clue... tape brake? tape machine? reel size?  I could go on and on.  

A fun and demanding engineering project and forced me into learning more about the tools of the craft.  

Always about moving the ball forward!

With today's final print and bringing the project to a close.  I got close enough to be proud of what I achieved.  Sour Girl is peak STP and peak era of big budget productions.  Difficult to say the least and certainly a bit outgunned... but the challenge is how I learn best and there is always next time.

I hope when you hear Greed you enjoy it, you hear the hours of labor spent at the dead ends... hours spent trying to tweak a second of the track to fall in line with the theme.  It's not perfect.... but nothing I ever work on is going to be.  Its about inviting you into the space where the music was made and to share the moments captured. 

Peace and love my brothers and sisters
Tainted Icarus

Greed

I wrote the chords/riff to this back in 2002. I was just reminiscing about living in Vancouver Canada again  - living in the mountains and leaving it all behind for a "Brand new day". Hope you like some part of it. 

This is the second song from the project "Are you out there?"

Cheers,
Three Photons

Brand new day

Ballad Of The Beacon (Wishbone Ash)

I stay here all alone, lying by myself
I hear your voice, or is it just a dream
Times moving slow, when your away from me
I wont give up, you are my everything

I am dreaming, of the love we shared
Do you cry for me, like I do for you
Remember the laughter, now I'm frightened
This pain it hurts, hear the voices say

Chorus: Your Insayne

No ones crying, I'm to blame
I feel I've died, or am I Insayne
A voice it whispers, softly in my ear
The words it says, I don't want to hear

Chorus: Your Insayne
I'm Insayne

Insayne

A drunken horror in the evening; a glass of spirit to his mouth
But such words blazed from his lips in the morning.
A rowdy bruising preacher of the politics of the work shift,
But insights of love and life and delight were his lasting gift.

Take me to the stages
Show time for the rages
Take me down to your peace divine
Let me close to the strangers

She moved like all the sea’s swell has just been a rehearsal.
She sang with a voice that could melt your bones, and heal your burns.
But she was a passing comet; in view only for a moment,
In the day that is a lifetime; like the rise and fall of the sun; radiant.

Take me to the stages
Show time for the rages
Take me down to your peace divine
Let me close to the strangers

These are not like you and me; these exotic strangers. 
These are from over the sea; these chaotic angels.
We were not born to follow them; where they sail in the end,
But we bathe in the wake of them, and glory in their transcend.

Take me to the stages
Show time for the rages
Take me to the stages
Play acting outrageous
Take me down to your peace divine
Let me close to the strangers

Exotic Strangers
