Lyrics:

Do you see me 
Do you know where I come from
Somewhere far away a land where there is no sun
Darkness in all tones 
Feel the beat deep in my bones
Can't be satisfied in the light 
I need to know if you bite

Now I'm feeling so hypnotized
Ah ah ah
Got this feeling deep inside
Ah ah ah
My fangs are sharp when they bite
Ah ah ah
I let my monsters come out and play

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Do you know the effect you have on me 
Like a python with a venomous touch 
I can sip the truth in the tea 
Lies and hoax can be all too much
Find me in the dark 
In the hours past midnight

Now I'm feeling so hypnotized
Ah ah ah
Got this feeling deep inside
Ah ah ah
My fangs are sharp when they bite
Ah ah ah
I let my monsters come out and play

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

Living in the dark, In my prehistoric arc
My fangs can make their mark, I take over in the hours past
Don't need to run fast, Let it all come for a blast
Vampire at night, And angel by the light

Life and death, the cycle goes on
Pure and sin, all inside of me
But do you know the world you unlock
When you come see me past 3 o' clock

3 A M 
Find me in the darkest corners
3 A M
Lurking where the sun doesn't shine
3 A M
Like a cobra in the jungle
3 A M
Only when the moon rises

A Moment In Reverse No. 4

UNRAVEL

"Echoes 9" is the ninth track in a collection titled "Echoes" and composed by my friend Stefano Causo in the late nineties. He asked me to produce some of the tracks, and my choice fell on this one. On one hand, it was the track that I liked the most, but on the other hand, it was the least accomplished in terms of variations and the main composition.

I had to play all the instruments from scratch because there were no available stems or original tracks of any sort. In any case, they had been recorded on a cassette multi-track recorder, making them unreliable.

While I retained the main structure of the composition, I added a guitar solo, a couple of rhythm guitars, and an improvised arpeggio played through the Hype synthesizer included in the MPC. All the sounds and effects come from the AKAI MPC, while the Fender Stratocaster I used was amplified and given crunch via the Marshall DSL-1.

I am thrilled for the opportunity Stefano gave me to work on this composition, and I truly enjoyed its production.

Echoes 9

"The Hailer" by These Guitars Say Sorry offers a modern twist on the age-old tradition of harbormasters hailing incoming ships, set against an alt folk/alt rock backdrop. With a raw and unfiltered approach akin to Billy Bragg's style, the UK singer-songwriter explores the theme of anonymity in contemporary life. Through gritty storytelling and stripped-down melodies, the song delves into the existential quest for identity amidst the bustling chaos of modern society. Reflective and resonant, "The Hailer" captures the universal longing for connection and recognition, delivering a poignant narrative that echoes across genres and generations.

Lyrics

Who are you?
And where do you come from?
Who are you?
And where have you been?

I stand here shouting
Hoping someone will hear me
But my voice just floats away on the breeze

I'm the hailer, I'm, the hailer. I'm the hailer
And I've come to bring you home
I've come to bring you home

Give me three guesses and I'll make a mess of it
Tell me your story and I'll write the end
I hate to confess to things best left unsaid
I hope it all works out
I suppose it depends
I hope it all works out for the best
I hope it all works out for the best

Where would you be without someone to hold you
Where would I be without someone who cares
I'm, standing here waiting not sleeping or praying
Caught in between my hope and despair

I'm the hailer, I'm, the hailer. I'm the hailer
And I've come to bring you home
I've come to bring you home 
I know you've got no home
