..here's a little remix of the epic (just one more) Summer of Love - staying true to the spirit of the original I've remixed it in the same way I recorded it using cool edit! :) Hope you enjoy!
Just one more Summer of Love..
It occurred to me that the ever decreasing circle of the last 
two millennia of human history has spun us around 
to a similar point in time to that of forty or so years ago.
The great spirit we call the Universe seems to be saying;
'Look, have another go at this, 'do it all over again..' 
..try a bit softer; as this part of the journey is ending, maybe it's time to get on the right path..'
..contrary to what one might think, 
'Summer of Love' isn't about any girl in particular, 
moreover.. It's a song to the Mother.. 
the Earth.. from whose Love we came.. 
and whose Love we should return.. 
There is only Joy in giving, that is,. Loving.. BE Love!
(cripes I'm so full of it..;)

'just one more Summer of Love', like many songs, has been, and is yet still a Journey. I wrote the Lyrics and Melodies in 2001 originally, and I undertook this stage of the journey solo, with very basic kit, (see below) in Pembroke and Bushbury.

Summer was recorded and mixed on a coal-fired 1998 600 mhz pc with 128 ram (yes, really.. You could see the steam blasting out the sides during the latter stages..)

I used an old copy of the great Cooledit, a Yamaha SY85 keyboard, 
a cheap condenser, an acoustic guitar, persistence... and a fair old dollop of Love.

Thanks to Joe Gallagher for sprinkling delicious guitar loveliness over it!! (and that session was a tale in itself!)

Music is an echo of the word
the Eternal and infinite Beginning
the breath of the great spirit
send the vibration back ...with Love :)

(just one more) Summer of Love (2013 mix)

Castles in the sky ~ Dancing Fool version ~ New Recording. 
Temporarily Available to Stream Free 
Written composed and played arranged, recorded, engineered, 'produced' and mixed in China and Thailand.
~ it's a 'demo', I do this (music) to bring the song to life, to give birth to the song, and for my own enjoyment first and foremost.. 
Recommend Headphone Listening. ~ I've tried to make this as interesting as possible, writing new parts for the song, while keeping the essential spirit of the song.. pretty much a rock~pop song ~ You'll hear something new every time you listen to it.. Listen: https://www.douyin.com/video/7340214809817779468 
https://jamplant.wixsite.com/barriev/songs-music-by-barriev ~ Guest Listen Code: ListentoBazza (Copy code and hit 'Go'!)
Yes, it's 'busy'.. ~ challenging perhaps.. this is intentional ~ I like to see how far I can take weaving melodies, riffs; counterpoint.. (perhaps my next recording might be less frenetic?)  
As I've stated elsewhere, I don't write the songs, ~ they write me, or rather, they write themselves..
 
I've used 'Castles' as a vehicle to return to music.. and in re-recording and rewriting this song I've undergone a huge learning curve.. re-Learning how to sing.. how to play.. how to record.. Ableton, Cubase.. feck.. 
Strangely I haven't had to 're-learn' composition, ~ as I've stated elsewhere, I don't write the songs, ~ they write me, or rather, they write themselves..

Lyric: 
It's like I'm building castles in the sky, only to watch them fall down,
I can't see for the starlight in my eye, and the darkness all around,
the further I build them up, the more they fall down..

It's like I'm on a road to lord knows where
And my wheels are slowing down
Hardly moving for the moondust everywhere.. 
Pull of gravity holds me down..
The harder I hit the gas the more I slow down, 
The harder I push my foot the more I slow down.. 

All I know I've got to keep on going yeah.. 
Knock me down a thousand times, I'll get up with new wings
and I'll sing it to you.. 

~ Got a feeling there in my soul.. 
making me dance and making me cry,
Lord how I love to rock and roll.. 
Give me a chance, One more time..

I'm sailing single handed 'cross the sea
and the storm is the only sound
Time and tide are turned against me.. I'm about to run aground..
- the higher I hoist my sail the more it blows down

Every day, every night I've been trying with all my might, I've been cyberactivatin' and trying to shed some light on all the problems man, that I can see.. Now I realise it's got to start with me. I could rant, I could rave, 'til I hit my grave, about star bangled spanners and corporate slaves consumer units, man.. But at least while I'm free.. I've got to be the change that I want to see.. And I know. Yes, I know. it's my problem too.. I cannot shirk responsibility..  I've got to be the change that I want to see.. 

Like a dancin' fool I got my head in the clouds
~ and I keep trippin' and tumbling..
Music in my head drowns the sound of the crowd 
My oblivious wanderings..
Yeah I'll get up and dance again when I hit the ground.. 
​
TechSpec:
My mind, heart and soul.. Freshman acoustic guitar, Behringer B5 and C2 Microphones, Yamaha MG10XU Mixer, Novation Launchkey mkIII, Ableton Live Lite 11, Cubase AI 12, a lot of thought.. many many listens.. huge learning curve, shitloads of patience.. countless problems and glitches, technical crises.. and most importantly.. huge dollops of Love.. 
I forgot to mention: Time. This recording has taken a long time because I've had to relearn everything. So this process began, again in June 2023 when I decided to 'Do it all over again.. One more time..' 
The learning curve has also included learning to sing and play guitar again (!), and learning how to record.. So, yeah, time.. and love..

Castles in the Sky Dancin' Fool Version by Barrie VVeiss

20 years ago I released Last Train to Lhasa - which makes me feel very old!

To mark the anniversary of its release, I have created a limited edition, physical only (no downloads or streams) 4 disc box set, featuring previously unheard alternative and extended ambient mixes as well as a handful of fresh remixes by like-minded artists. This will come out in June.

To kick-start the celebrations, I asked Ukraine’s soundcloud.com/astropilot and Dublin’s soundcloud.com/silinder to add some 21st Century flavour to the title track, and released them on Monday 30th March via all the mainstream download stores and streaming sites.

To mark this release, I am posting up this remix that I did myself of Lhasa. Please share the link far and wide.

(just one more) summer of Love ~ Remaster of the epic and staying true to the spirit of the original I've remixed it in the same way I recorded it: using CoolEdit! :) Hope you enjoy!  
Just one more Summer of Love.. It occurred to me that the ever decreasing circle of the last two millennia of human history has spun us around to a similar point in time to that of forty or so years ago. 

The great spirit we call the Universe seems to be saying;
'Look, have another go at this, 'do it all over again..'

the Earth.. from whose Love we came.. 
and whose Love we should return.. 
There is only Joy in giving, that is,. Loving.. Giving Love! 
'just one more Summer of Love', like many songs, has been, and is yet still a Journey. I wrote the Lyrics and Melodies in 2001 originally, and I undertook this stage of the journey solo, with very basic kit, (see below) in Pembroke Wales and Bushbury, Wolverhampton, in the West Middle Kingdom.

Summer was recorded and mixed on a coal-fired 1998 600 mhz pc with 128mb ram (yes, really.. 128mb ram - You could see the steam blasting out the sides during the latter stages.. as I say.. it was coal-fired.. :) 
I used an old copy of the great Cooledit, a Yamaha SY85 keyboard, 
a cheap condenser, an acoustic guitar, persistence... and a fair old dollop of Love.
Thanks to Joe Gallagher for sprinkling delicious guitar loveliness over it!! (and that session was a tale in itself!)

Music is an echo of the word
the Eternal and infinite Beginning
the breath of the great spirit
send the vibration back ...with Love :)

Review: Barrie V - Listen.com; 'Tripped-out sub-Stooge rock, instrumental electronica, and synth-laden Pop Metal from this U.K.-based stylistic schizoid. Psychedelia seems to be the one unifying element in these songs, but whatever genre is being explored, Barrie V attacks his work with innovation, fervour and creativity to produce futuristic sonic gems..'
~~ Mike M reviewing CyberKarma, Don't Think & Two Worlds '
~ The songs / tracks posted here (all © copyright Barrie V  Barrie VVeiss (unless stated) ~ random selection of my output, ranging from home notepad recordings to studio first demos to live off the cuff songwriting sessions, instrumental experiments. - a mixed bag, and a broad cross section of my 'ouvre'.. all works in progress..  Hope there's something of interest or even enjoyment for you here! 'Music is an echo of the word.. the eternal and infinite beginning.. the breath of the great spirit.. send the vibration back... with love' : ) I mostly make music + help to make music happen : ) Huge thanks to everyone for listening! (I'm listening back too : ) 
I'm going to be uploading various songs, live basic acoustic first takes, unrehearsed.. as they ask to be played..  - as I revisit a catalogue that stretches a way back.. as much  to spur me into actually finishing writing them as anything else! Here's my latest: https://soundcloud.com/barrie-v/castles-in-the-sky-dancin-fool-version-by-barrie-v  - these are 'songwriting doodles', mostly sat by the fireside with a jihad (which means guitar in olde Wulfrunian!) caught as they come to me and ask to be played.- so they're literally as they fly in, caught on an old minidisk recorder with a tiny electret condenser mic plugged straight into it.. (and as such, they're raw, and not in any way polished or 'produced'.. so for the moment this is raw songwriting as it happens stuff..) some are new, some from a way back..  asking to be played again.. they're like children.. growing.. : ) Time to breathe new life into these song children.. (what I've been doing is akin to sending yer kids out in tatty togs!) Sorry kids! I am on it! Promise! :)

Mike M reviewing CyberKarma, Don't Think & Two Worlds '
Excerpt from my (musical) cv:  I've worked and played with Stu Jones, Joe Gallagher, Parvinder Bharat, Sen Gallagher, Roland Chadwick, Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, Surinder Sandhu, Paul Lockley, ColdCut and Dreadzone, Mel Jones, amongst many others... too humorous to mention..
I collaborated and played with Dave Stewart, (Eurythmics/SweetDreamsAreMadeofThis) Coldcut and Dreadzone on the World’s first Tri-Continental multicast; broadcast live simultaneously over three continents, via the Internet, Radio and TV.. for the BBC's Tomorrow's World TV programme.
I arranged, produced, and played on the World's first non-stop two hour live acoustic radio session - one of the last live shows at what was the BBC's iconic Pebble Mill for BBC Radio's Ben Turner.. with Joe Gallagher, Stu Jones and other members of the Jamplant.
I've also played numerous other live sessions for BBC Radio, including BBC Radio, BBC Radio Yorkshire, WM, Radio WCR.. etc etc, The Sheep Music Festival, Wolverhampton Civic & Wulfrun Halls, and between 2002  - 2006 I played and ran live music nights, - the now legendary Jamplant - encouraging and showcasing new musical talent in Wolverhampton and Barnsley, totting up 600 live performances! Pheww..
I also play with words, lyrics, images.. visuals.. and philosophise a good deal. ..about tea mostly.. I have also been known to play a fine and unique selection of self-penned and 'cover material' for a very reasonable fee, and have been known to captivate audiences with jolly enjoyable slices of banter, scintillating repartee.. and by just by being rather splendid company!
