Nice to hear people just playing and allowing the sonic God to direct instead of rigid and dead formula...keep it up.

Bird's Eye View at Level One Up

Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

HeartBreak - Interlude

I wanted to create a dreamy sounding track using only two chords, this was the result. 

Wandering In A Dream

All things must pass.....even the enlightened state (Nirvana)...(not the band).....that feeling when a steady state starts to breakdown.

Wind ensemble tracks: Clarinet (5); Flute (4); Alto Sax (2); Tenor Sax (2); Soprano Sax (2); Oboe (2). 

0 - 1.49 min -  steady melodic A/B structure (few random elements appear)..
1.50....gradual descent into chaos on B section until 2.02 when soprano saxes steady it...but free elements gain ground
2.17 - section A with oboe holding it up...against some disintegrating chaos (panned).. 
2.32 - return of B section and the final comedown...oboes trying hard till the end.

That's the way i saw it anyhow.  [Try it with headphones if poss.]

Nirvana Comedown

Taking only about 30 min to write this seemed a bit of a throw away but had 'live' potential and so it proved. Looking back through life there's moments you would change if you could . . . 

See Yourself as Yourself

Look back - go back - look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Thinking ‘bout her, flood the mind 
And hormone’s, long slow torture
Shock of her face, hair in a state 
Can I just go, walk with her

No no no – verboten – society thick in the air – claustrophobia

Look back - go back - look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Seeing that, ‘out for myself’ thing 
Yeah, that gotta go, grab that pleasure 
Could’ve done that man, some real good 
But instead, closed up shop early
       
Grim effort – rode a wave – he’ll be back tomorrow – ok!

Get back look back, look in the rear view mirror
And see yourself as yourself and shudder 
‘Bout decisions and actions

Yeah yeah yeah. Wo ho a couple of memories
There’s so many more
Yeah yeah yeah, so many more, try to bury them yeah

SEE YOURSELF AS YOURSELF
