Mid-Year-Revue -- 2021 MYR BEST of SC

Please enjoy with me the Reservoir Dogs. We are a Soundcloud Band and have already released some tracks, which you can find here:
https://soundcloud.com/kcm069/sets/the-reservoir-dogs
We have a very unique sound and it is a lot of fun to work on music in a band, as suddenly everything goes 4 times as fast, as 4 brains are working and 4 styles are coming together.
This song was created, as Tot. had sent me a drum synth track which was already epic and dark, when nothing had been added.
So I played a bass line and sent this to Ken and Andrea who immediately came back with their parts, which I then mixed and mastered.
I hope you will like it very much guys.

Lyrics:
Hey, I was hoping all day, anyway you want, I was green, I’m sorry, for being, this way

Sneaking around, blessed ground, once it was, for me. 
pleasure of the world, blessed ground , I shall walk with thee

"Esperaba todo el día para ser como quieres. Tenía celos. Lo siento por ser así."

Hey, I was hoping all day, anyway you want, I was green , I’m sorry, for being, this way

On the radar , bristling down coming around
Maybe later, bubbling boil toil and trouble
Porous crater, simmering now melting crown
Making pay dirt, exploding sound erupting ground.

Bring in the floating bills
Bring in the frozen lock
Bring in the callous frills
Bring in the broken clock
Bring the jury and judge
Bring in the final gasp
Bring in the resentful grudge
Bring in the ghosts from the past

Sneaking, around, blessed ground, once it was for me.
pleasure of the world, blessed ground , I shall walk with thee 

"Esperaba todo el día para ser como quieres. Tenía celos. Lo siento por ser así."

Hey, I was hoping all day, anyway you want, I was green , I’m sorry, for being, this way

Witches's Brew

Witches' Brew (with RUIZZOIDMAN)

Decided to go with something a bit lighter to brighten up the mood. Just keeping it HipHop, enjoy fam, the lyrics are below:
Released 3/18/21

            I Ain't Tripping
Were unplugged —-like wireless 
moving forward —-that’s progress 
feel the feed —-we don’t digress 
make it —happen —-pure finesse 
grooving cause it’s tireless
——-hard press but don’t stress
Just —-another level ——let’s call this one conquest  

——lines as —-light snowflakes 
rhythm—- hits——— like earthquakes
Bouncing ———when the vibe is proper 
Keep up now—-I stay on top—er
common sense ——ain’t made of copper
I’m—-in the mix ——-like Betty Crocker
another level ———————a ——————show —stopper 

Off the top ———-is where it’s at
unwrap this —————-gift RAP
hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack
Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK!
Pool of knowledge ——-untapped
going in —-hard——we do that 
Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps 
———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!”
swag baby —-The recap 
no snags—nah—we stop that!!!

Chorus
Different way of doing things———-like diamond studded earrings 
From sound —to vibe —to groove—— yeah— it’s all engineering 
Style —-skill ——technique —————-here——- my haters disappearing 
I’m all up in your ear —-guess you like what you are hearing

I’mer keep the beat rock in like a diamond let’s go 
ask me if I’ll ever stop the answer is Hell no 
hit the ground running—- that’s the —-quid pro quote
stop drop and roll —-cause it’s all —-touch and go 
mad skills coming through so act like you know 
and I’m rolling around the grooves like a bowl of Jell-O 
yo! —-level one up ———is the production studio 
better ask somebody ——-or just act like you know

I Ain't Tripping

In 2018 Dave (warfydave) Cooper sent me recording he had made, inviting me to contribute lyrics, vocals and steel guitar.   Immediately on hearing the recording, the words to Lewis Carroll's “The Lobster Quadrille” (sometimes called “The Mock Turtle's Song) started running through my head.
	We recorded the track and Dave posted it on his SC website (https://soundcloud.com/warfydave).   The song is still there at https://soundcloud.com/warfydave/lobster-quadrille-mix-4.
	The track I have posted here uses all the original stems except for the steel guitar (which I felt obliged to redo).   It has been re-mixed and re-mastered.
	There are many versions of this song on SC, the only ones I strongly remember are by Bruce Klepper (at https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/the-mock-turtles-songfeat-mark-ewart), and Steely Dan (at https://soundcloud.com/steely-dan-official/the-mock-turtle-song), but I am sure they are all worth a good listen.

	The Lobster Quadrille appears in “Alice in Wonderland”.   It is sung by the Mock Turtle while he and the Gryphon attempt to demonstrate the dance to Alice.   John Tenniel's famous illustration (the cover art I have used) pictures both the Mock Turle and the Gryphon.

The Lobster Quadrille

BandCamp

Feel them marching on
For your heart they come
Put your armor on
For His kingdom come

Principalities and powers
Hope is in the darkest hours
Every days a war
Get your shield and sword

The wickedness in high places
The flaming arrows will fall

The war is raging on
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood
The hedge protecting us 
from what’s behind the veil

Powers of this present darkness
Still You light the way before us
don’t go poking your head through
They come and they will get you

The wickedness all around us
Bow down and take up your cross

The war is raging on
For we do wrestle against flesh and blood
The hedge protecting us 
from what’s behind the veil

The war is raging on
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood
His Word preparing us 
for what’s behind the veil

Through the shadow of the valley
Two edged sword is piercing quickly
Overcome the adversary 
We will stand and fight

The War Acoustic

THE OLD DARK BARK OAK MUSCULAR TREE
OVERLOOKING THE WHOLE DESERTED COUNTRY
NOT A SHADOW IN SIGHT COS NOT A BIT OF SUNLIGHT
SEEMS TO ME THE RIGHT PLACE TO DWELL FOR A FORTNIGHT 

IF FED UP WITH THE GUNSHOTS THE BLUE BLADES OF THE KNIVES
YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A SPOT TO SELF BURY ALIVE
THE OLD DARK BARK OAK SPREADS HIS OPEN THIGHS
OF HARD WOOD ROOTS JUST FOR YOU LIE 

ME I’M A SON OF A WITCH AND I’VE GOT NOTHING TO FEAR
I TURN INTO A RAVEN WHEN THE DANGER GETS NEAR
GETTING HIGH ON NO DOPE SEE ME FLY HEAR ME CROAK 
ON THE VERY TOP BRANCH OF THE OLD DARK OAK

THE OLD DARK BARK OAK MUSCULAR TREE
ONCE WAS A TENDER SAPLING IN A GREEN COUNTRY
GROWING LEAFY BRANCHES FOR THE BIRDS THERE TO NEST
COOL SHADE PROVIDING FOR THE PASSER BY TO REST

BUT THEN CAME LOVE I MEAN THE LIGHTING
STRIKING FROM ABOVE WITH DOUBLE ZERO WARNING
NO TIME TO THINK NOT EVEN TO BLINK
BLACK A FALLING COS THE WATER WAS INK

THERE’S A MANSION IN THE DISTANCE WHERE NOBODY LIVES
BUT I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND IT FOR THERE’S A BUNCH OF THIEVES
MURDERERS EVIL MANNERED WHO SEEK THERE FOR SHELTER
WHEN THE DEPUTY’S SPECTER IS RUNNING THEM AFTER   

ME I’M A SON OF A WITCH AND I’VE GOT NOTHING TO FEAR
I TURN INTO A RAVEN WHEN THE DANGER GETS NEAR
GETTING HIGH ON NO DOPE SEE ME FLY HEAR ME CROAK 
ON THE VERY TOP BRANCH OF THE OLD DARK OAK

THE OAK (Lyrics)

Dawn of a Dream

Dawn of a Dream(edit version)

As a young kid in Florida a friends Mother and Little brother were brutally murdered - This is my recollection........

The gifts' in the song Michelle.........
When i was just a kid at 6 years old - i kissed a girl who's mother died that night I'm told - the devil took her brother and her soul - i heard her little brother was just 4 years old - and she was at her grandma's safe and sound - days went by i watched she never came around - she was left to endure this pure hell - i wonder what happened to poor Michelle
Kids around the neighborhood would go - around the house to watch the police show - Taped off from the porch to the stairs - bloodstained like all my tears 
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but i was so afraid yeah i was so afraid - and all this time i sat around - praying that you'd be found but I'm still so afraid that i won't know what to say Michelle
I wish that i could call you on the phone - to let you know you've never ever been alone - Never had the nerve to do so - and I've kept a secret you deserve to know - that night on Christmas eve i was there - i saw your mothers husband walking up the stairs - I had a gift to give to you that night - your mom said you weren't home with terror in her eyes - How could i have known i was just a kid - I almost told my mom oh god i wish i did - Instead i went about my Christmas eve - watching Jesus getting tortured on TV - My soul cried out for him as he was beat - and i forgot about the monster who was down the street - morning saw your mama on the screen - same eyes as the night before that keep on haunting me
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but I was so afraid - yeah I was so afraid - and all this time i sat around - praying that you'd be found - but I'm still so afraid - that i won't know what to say Michelle......
Since i could never right this wrong for you - I decided i should write a song for you- One day maybe you'll turn the radio on - and my gift will echo throughout the lyrics of this song - Just know that i have always been with you - though i never had the guts to come find you - that kiss was my first oh what it meant to me - So long ago would you remember me - cause i remember everything so clear - the softness of you lips that day you disappeared - the feeling that i felt for you my friend - the longing just to kiss you once again - though life has passed i feel it till this day Sometimes at night i still can see you face - and dark thoughts seem to set my mind adrift - before it's too late Michelle i need you have this gift
for forty years i dreamed about calling you taking you out but i was so afraid yeah i was so afraid - and all this time i sat around - praying that you'd be found but I'm still so afraid that i won't know what to say Michelle
The gifts' in the song Michelle

20 years in the making

lyrics:
Been up all night and day
Been up all night and day
Been up all night and day
Music is the only way
Been up all night and day
Music is the only way

Make up your mind                    
No more excuses
Now is the time
Relight the fuses

There is no other way for me
but to follow, to follow the fire
I tried and tried to leave behind all my dreams
but it doesn´t seem, doesn´t seem to work for me

Music, music
(Music is the only way)
Music, music
(Music is the only way)
Am I living in a fantasy or do I face reality
I Can´t deny
Music is my life
It´s never gonna leave me
Making me feel free and alive

There was a time when I surrendered
But the rebel in me always remembered
There is no other path for me
Tomorrow, tomorrow´s calling me
I´ve been up all night and day to kill the flame
but the answer, the answer is still the same

Music, music
(Music is the only way)
music, music
(Music is the only way)
Am I living in a fantasy or do I face reality
I Can´t deny
Music is my life
It´s never gonna leave me
Making me feel free and alive

Been up all night and day
Music is the only way
Been up all night and day
Music is the only way
Been up all night and day
Music is the only way

Music Is The Only Way

I live in A Glass House
It's Not Like You would Understand
You Live In Your Perfect World 
Just Like You Planned 
My Windows are Dirty 
Can't See Through To The Outside
I'm always alone
Here At Home
With No One To Confide

You Can't Smash Through These Walls
Even If You Tried
For You Built Up The Memories 
All This Times You Lied
And Even If A crack Shows 
Cause Of The Words You Said
I won't Let You In 
You Had Might As well Just Go Away

My Mental State Changes
Depending On The day
You Tore Me Down
Threw Me around
It Was Always That Way
Everything That I Tried
Was Never Good Enough For You
That Day I Tried Suicide 
A Tear Never Crossed Your Eye
 
It's Been Six Years Now
Since You went Away 
I Look back On My Past 
So Glad You Didn't stay
I Have a New Life 
Where Tears No Longer Flow
It started with A Step
All Those Years Ago

My Glass House By Running Wolf ,  Uncle Junez

Speak Of The Devil

A hymn for the ill at ease

Here's one of my first recordings. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.
For those who may drift into a daydream now and then, you may enjoy my composition Mystical Dream.
Inspired by once having seen and being mesmerized by the Northern Lights.  
It has a Floyd meets Satriani vibe.

Lyrics
You never knew it
You never saw it
You never conjured spells

They were entranced in
All the voices
That carried on your love

But tempted by the
 fear and worship
You cast a wide eyed stare
Over the minions
And their wanting
But gave away your share

Lasses Birgitta


Everybody’s waiting waiting waiting
Trying to shake the flakes
 Everybody’s fighting lying loving
Trying to trap the snakes
Holding up your head today
Helping out the other side
Maybe you got taken taken taken
taken for a ride
Maybe you got taken taken taken
taken for a ride 
Maybe you got taken taken taken
taken for a ride


And the con men
 looks for a rube
 and names him aa a    friend
And the friend
 looks for an enemy
 To help them find a fool. 
And the fool begs
 for forgiveness
From being treated so cruel
For forgiveness for forgiveness 
It is the golden rule
For forgiveness for forgiveness 
It is the golden rule
For forgiveness for forgiveness 
It is the golden rule
  
Lasses Birgitta

Midnight Funk (Jam)

Words & Music: Jan Schonander

This song is written from a man's perspective, but I think it could be equally valid for a woman. I have plenty of friends that have found their companions using dating apps. I also have a number of friends that have many - let's say - interesting experiences. And, maybe it's best to realize what you've got.

In terms of how this was recorded...there are no real guitars. I used Logic Pro X Revolving Lines with a couple of gain settings as well as the Distorted Stratocaster. There are two bass lines using the Prog Rock Bass and as always I am programming the virtual drummer. The various organs and piano are all Korg SV-1 native with some post processing. Basically it's the same stuff I used for "Forgot To Say" and "Feline Fever".

Lastly, I've noticed that some listeners interpret my lyrics as all personal experiences. In this case I would among many things be a three time felon, met my "working" wife on  a crossing and I would actually be African American - I can report that this is far from my ordinary life.

BLIND DATE

Choosing left and right
An ordinary night
On his own
Scotch in his hand
Microwave dinner
Looking for some company
Some sweet lovin
Looking for a friend
Didn’t want another dead end

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a much better mate

She stepped in the bar
Painted to the nines
Three martini lush & more
Preached about men
Layed down the rules
He looked in her eyes 
Made sure that she understood
She was more than he could
He left that chat for good

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

He looked left and right
Nothing recognizable in sight
And then she said “Hello,
I think you’re my beau”
A completely different woman
His face turned wooden
Oh its so tragic
Not his kind of magic

Didn’t want another blind date
Looking for a better fate
Didn’t want another blind date
Hoping for a much better mate

Staying at home
Staying at home
All on his own
Right next to his phone
He heard her chime
Turned on a dime
She said “Honey, I miss you”
He said “Not another blind date,
not another blind date”
