a Quiet Way - Lyrics

Holding on to everything you have to hand, just let go!
Just try to give everything a chance to work out, to work out...
It might just work, it might see you sitting there thinking
if you got it right? it might just work, it might work out fine
if your thinking that you got it right!
 
Think of the format, think of the structure
think how one links into the other,
Think of the freedom, think of the open-ness
think how one links into the other,

Did you plan it just right? Now's the time to see if it works out fine
You know it might, it might be just the kind of thing to go well
Go well, go well, go swell...

How these things find a way and with reasons and how they fall,
And how they just make sense, can make it worth it, can make it worth it!
It's the quiet way to know at least to me that it makes sense
and that just makes sense!
However it is you make your way on the day to push forward and that makes it worth it...

Think of the format, think of the structure
think how one links into the other,
Think of the open-ness, think of the freedom
think how one links into the other,

Did you plan it just right? Now's the time to see if it works out fine
You know it might, it might be just the kind of thing to go well,
Go well, go well, go well...
Go swell, go swell, go swell
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well,
Oh well...

a Quiet Way

Venus 13722

From 2015
No analogue equipment/hardware was used in this track.

It was created exclusively using the now obsolete Camel Alchemy Mobile app.
www.kvraudio.com/product/alchemy-…e-by-camel-audio
It was my favorite and first app that I used when returning to music after a 14 year break from Blink Twice. (abandoning hardware and selling my gear)

Alchemy only had a 4 track sequencer, but I made the most of it. This particular piece uses 2 tracks for synths, 1 track for percussion, and 1 track with the voice sample. What Alchemy excelled in was it's incredible synth engine and ability to morph sounds in realtime with it's x-y axis screen control. I fully went all out with this feature on this track, resulting in a similar effect to knob twisting on modular synths.

I greatly miss this app, but Apple bought out Camel, and as a result they did not update this app. They instead included an extremely watered down version of the Alchemy synth engine in their Garageband app.

This is the third collaboration song with my dear friend Xian3.
 I made a mix of his latest song "Chimera".
https://soundcloud.com/xian3/chimera-collab-wt-amekaze?si=dd1afdcbeab440d1b134f0875783d990&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
In his songs, Chimera is a creature from Greek mythology, a hybrid made up of a lion, a goat, and a dragon. But it's used differently in this song.
I deeply sympathized with his words, "Chimera was supposed to be bulletproof."
"It was supposed to be bulletproof..."
In his "Chimera" background, in Berlin, "the strange mixture of left-wing and right-wing parties in a demonstration demanding that NATO should not support Ukraine with arms. German Minister was inspired by naming this demo "Chimera".
In his lyrics, "Chimera" is really just smashing windows on the way to freedom, and the unnatural (chimera, genetic engineering) escapes into the wild nature, and henceforth its development forever. I'll change it. Pictured is the Chimera of Arezzo

Deep down in my hole I thought,
Writing myself a poem,
To dig me out so i will
Let flowers grow again.

(Best experienced through earphones) a Stolen Glow are an outfit from Co. Wexford, Ireland. The group consists of James Murphy - 'Byrdz' [pronounced 'Birds'] (E.S.S. & One For Sorrow), and Alan Davis (E.S.S.) As a studio band the pair worked on a Stolen Glow for over ten years, with James, carefully crafting a blend of home-made rock music, and Alan, carefully focusing on some music, but then cutting his teeth on video animation. Two E.P.'s emerged 2016's 'Just Far Enough Away' and 2019's 'Rough Mixes'. The outfit's  album 'Ten Track Recorder' saw the light of day in 2020, and then the mainly (drop D based guitar tuned) 12 track album '11 Items' was released in the year 2022. (Both of these albums can be found on this page.)  Also, there's a handmade animated music video courtesy of Alan, for their track 'In Space', which can be found here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohCHSqfdM-U  - And the pair returned to a tried and tested method that they developed in E.S.S. on their track 'This Day' of Alan supplying lyrics and James doing the rest... The video for that song is here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ5EfuB-XDg - Thanks for listening and viewing everyone! Have fun! We hope you find something that tickles your fancy.  - Byrdz & Alan x Enjoy. https://www.instagram.com/jamesmurphybyrdz/ https://www.instagram.com/alan_j_davis/ If your looking for more recordings...
