REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU

DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Not being a drummer or having access to a collaborating drummer very often I have been moving away from using the Logic Pro virtual drummer and playing the drum grooves on my keyboard. I have to admit it has given me added respect for the art as it is not easy (at least for me) to keep a consistent beat even for a few bars. For this I used the Vintage Breaks+ drum kit, but to get the deep sound applied the Space D reverb, which I then also used to give the same overall sound to all the stems. The bass is a Logic Baby Bass treated with a Full Stack guitar amplifier. For the vocal in the chorus I used a reverse Space D reverb to achieve the ghostly effect. Lyrically I think this song speaks for itself.

TWO SPEED

There’s vintage and new
All kinds and looks
On this brand new two speed highway
I can see you clearly
You’re holding on and dearly

There’s a clear road ahead
Slipping into 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
There’s a lane you can choose instead
Letting go, letting go 

I’ll pass you by
Why don’t you even try
I want to love you 
I want to hold you

I can’t wait for you
Makes me wanna cry
Stay away from you
I’m afraid of you

Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself
Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself

So much more than you and me
Can’t slip into he said, she said, we said, they said
A shiny city on a hill  
I wanna get there, you wanna get there
 
Free flowing air
Full speed ahead, but
To be close to you
Spend time with you

I’m breaking free
I wish that you could see
I can’t love you
I can’t trust you

Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself
Help yourself
Good care of yourself
And love yourself

Two Speed

Who Would You Like Me to Be?

Some time ago John Baker (@ldchool) sent me this great backing track he created and asked me to play a lead break on it. After I did we recognized that this track strongly deserves vocals. So I sat down and searched for some words to get some lyrics together and thought of a melody to sing. Then asked my friend Marcus to come over and sing. We all are very satisfied with the result. Thanks to John's mixing skills and Marcus' voice it turned out quite nice.

This track was made during a difficult period for me, when covid drove me into a cage of depression. To cope with it, I, in spite of everything, took out all the light that is in me and, through I can't, tried to make music. And she saved me! This is the first track in a new, now, world.

Stomping - Paploviante

I know your tired - but hey dude I am too –I'm  tired of trying to resurrect – the good in you
The good in me – has taken a back seat – and I just watch you flounder around – wondering when you'll come around 
And you walk – down this lonely road – trying to find a place you can stand still find a place you can call your home 
The real in us – We watch it dissipate – and as our life is fading away we find peace in our solitude 
But hey we’ll keep on moving with thoughts that are soothing In hopes it will get us through our day…
There’s something I been meaning to say!
Why’d the fuck you let her get away
Could’ve saved yourself from all this god damn pain
So much disease can’t figure out the strain – I'd like to hold you down and rub away the stain
2nd verse
I know your tired – But Hey dude I am too – I'm tired of trying to have your back – when you never pull through
The good in me – has taken a back seat –And I know your about to erupt – when did your soul become so corrupt
And you walk – down this lonely road – trying to find a place you could stand still find a place you can call your home – 
The good in us – we’re sick of all these games – but it’s something we’ve grown so used to there won’t be any breakthroughs 
hey we’ll keep on moving with thoughts that are soothing In hopes it will get us through our day…
There’s something I been meaning to say!
Why’d the fuck you let her walk away
Could’ve saved yourself from all this god damn pain
So much disease can’t figure out the strain – I'd like to hold you down and rub away that stain
I’m so fucking tired – but hey dude so are you – I'm tired of trying to find the words – when they all cut through - yeah!!!!

The Stain.....

We’re Heading on Up
But, We Keep…. 
Falling Down
Gotta’ pick ourselves Up
From the cold, hard Ground
Our knees are scuffed
Our Bones are sore
Our minds confused
All those Lies…..
And so much more
Don’t give me excuses
Don’t you criticize
One day you’ll wake up
And You’ll realize
So, Pick It Up
Don’t Put ‘Em Down
Your Time is Up
Don’t Look Around
Don’t You Look Around

Estamos subindo
Mas, nós mantemos….
Caindo
Temos que nos levantar
Do solo frio e duro
Nossos joelhos estão arranhados
Nossos ossos estão doloridos
Nossas mentes confusas
Todas aquelas mentiras… ..
E muito mais
Não me dê desculpas
Não critique
Um dia você vai acordar
E você vai perceber
Então, pegue
Não os abaixe
Seu tempo acabou
Não olhe em volta
Você não olha em volta
(Repetir versos)

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

Verse 1
You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Refrain
Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life
How they took your life
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

outro
You move like the summer breeze
and I hear you whistling in the trees....

Just a boy (ft. Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

I see a pool of black and no light
the way you stare at me with those dead eyes
turn on the energy with the right vibe
too late, you got so cold, no revive
no revive (x3), the thoughts they thrive (x3), still alive (x3), must survive (x3)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

I put you in the box you belong in
waved bye and said so long to the demons
come out from underground, it was pushing
old wounds that stitched back up, well they're open

well they're open (x3)

feed the silence, I'll pray for you
while I bleed again within 
your knife cuts violent, the wounds are deep
and it stings the soul you need

Feed the Silence

ONE DAY IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
LEARN TO GIVE AND TAKE BUT CRY
A BIRTHDAY WISH IS ALL THATS TRUE
A WISHING WELL WITH NO DESIRE

TEN YEARS ON AND TO SMART TO LEARN
ON YOUR BIKE AND LOST IN STUFF
I THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL DAYS GONE
WHAT WE SEE WE LEARN TO TRY

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
(break)
THE WISE GREY MAN CAN BEARLY HEAR
GRANDCHILD SENDS A TEXT OF LOVE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE SEA
HE REMEMBERS HOW HE USED TO BE

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

This is my first collab with Rob Johnson from @fire-jam-band. And it was mind blowing. Rob contacted me and mentioned that his voice with that "Southern Twang" would perfectly fit to the style of music I create. And I had the idea of a southern rock ballad. Now here's the result!
I'm so happy with what came out of this idea after Robs phenomenal input.

Hide Away (Freddie King)

Lyrics by Tony Harris (Tribute to my Uncle)
Vocals, Melody, Instruments & Mix by Glen Granthem

IN DECEMBER OF SIXTY NINE
THE WAR WAS ON HIS MIND
CAUSE HE WAS NUMBER THREE
ON THE DRAFT LOTTERY

HE WAS SOON ON HIS WAY
TO RUN AND MARCH IN THE SAND
WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY
EVERYTHING WAS SO UNPLANNED

HIS UNCLE WORE AN OLD DIME
ON HIS DOG TAGS IN WWII
AND IT WAS NOW HIS TIME
TO WARE IT ON HIS CHAIN TO

IF THAT OLD DIME COULD TALK
WHAT A STORY IT COULD TELL
IT TRAVELED ON TRAINS,
SHIPS, PLANES AND BACK HOME

(CHORUS) 
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
MEANT THE WORLD TO HIS UNCLE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
NOW MEANS THE WORLD TO HIM
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN AND GOD
BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME AGAIN
YEA, IT BROUGHT THEM BACK HOME

WHEN THEY WERE ALL ALONE
THAT DIME ON A CHAIN
REMINDED THEM OF HOME
AND HEARTACHE AND PAIN

HIS UNCLE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT WAR
WITHOUT BREAKING DOWN AND CRYING
THE HURT WAS IN HIS INNER CORE
DYING WAS ALWAYS ON HIS MIND

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Dime On A Chain - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Glen Granthem - Original

This is my first collab with Norbert Meyer, @https://soundcloud.com/nobsmeyer.
We met here on SC and he told me that he grew up in the city where I live. No more reasons needed for working together on a song.
I had the idea for this ballad and he played a marvelous bass part on this track.
Again, Moni singing. The ballad I promised her some time ago :-).
And, also for the very first time, Melli, another friend of mine, contributed the background vocals. 
Hope you like this ballad although it's not the usual Rock and Blues stuff.

Another Broken Heart Song

All music written and recorded by John Baker (The Old School)
All lead guitar written and recorded by Andy Pfitzer
Mixed & Mastered by John Baker

I wrote and recorded this song back in 2015 when I didn't really have any equipment other than a DAW and a cell phone. The recording and mix wasn't great but a friend of mine and the first person I began talking to on Soundcloud (Rob from Fire Jam Band) loved the tune and did some vocals for it. I had the original version of this on my page for quite some time and removed it a good while back. I never had any intentions of re-mixing it, let alone, remaking the entire thing from scratch, but Rob had asked me that if I ever remade one of my songs let it be this one, so it took over a year of dragging my feet, because I wanted to be in the right frame of mind when I did it, but I finally have it completed. Everything is played almost as close to  the original as I could get and Andy Pfitzer helped me out by performing all the lead guitars in this because my original lead lines were awful. So a big thank you to Andy for all his help. 

This is also one of the last songs I used real guitar amplification for.

Head over to the awesome @fadysporz to listen to some wonderful indie gems! 

i don't know
where to go
where to flow
where myself has been

if i was
here with me
'now!' i'd say,
'now i'm free'
but i am somewhere else and out of reach

sometimes my mind games
keep me under control
there's nothing i could do
my chemical imbalance turns into
fire

i know the fire
it keeps me under control
it's never far away
it never takes too long, you know
one, two, here it comes
fire

everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
all my me's are running up and down
everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
i'm trapped by this
fire

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hey summer, where have you gone?
you've left me here all alone
Heatwave, bring on the storm
and wash my sins away

Chorus
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away another day
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away....

Verse 2
Heartache, leave me alone
find someone else to play
Fires rage, in the sky tonight
there's broken glass in the moonlight

chorus 2
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away another day
Summer's calling, but I'm locked away....

backing vocals 
you can see the light
you can see the light in your eyes

Outro...

Locked away another day
