Bad Trip

What a funny thing. 
There's memories.
That you've never mentioned before.
Oh, it's a laughable, poor melody.
That this songbird has in store.

A curse on your lies.
A curse on your soul.
A curse on your eyes.
A cursed spiral staircase, motherfucker.

Oh, if dredging up was a skill to bring.
Then you'd bring it down in spades.
But the truth is only some shit within.
Can't be of any help, too late..

A curse on your shy.
A curse on your sham.
A curse which you'd deny.
A cursed spiral staircase, motherfucker.

You dont get to own it all.
This one is not for you.
No lies you tell can get you in.
No dear, there's only two.

A curse on you fake.
A curse on your words.
A curse on your drink.
A curse on your spiral staircase, motherfucker.

Spiral Staircase

this song was written about knowing there bad times coming and always feeling on edge

I Got You On My Mind

(This is dedicated to my Step-Dad and to his battle with dementia.  It’s a song about time, how things are constantly changing, and yet, when you look in the mirror, there you are, and yet the decay, the age, mistakes and wisdom, one can hope, at the end of the day, no matter what has been had, what has been lost, you will have at least one thing, even if just a hand full, of beautiful memories…of people, pain, loss, love, hope, and everything in between.  Yet, for some, the curse is to look in the mirror and have nothing, to have lost it all, that sense of fear, grief, and frustration..  my step dad lost everyone in the end.  There were only two people he recognized.  My Mom and I - a blessing I will always be grateful to have had).  He was a beautiful man and this song, in all the irony of the lyrics, is for him.  

Verse
Was a time, a time to play, time to pray
All that time, what a waste, what a pity, oh fool, shake my walls, blow me down.

Just a face, unaware, just another day.
Just a phase, all we had, it’s a crime
oh pity, oh fool, mind your head when you fall 

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Verse
In the dark, in the back, what a way to live, you a dance I could never forget, oh pity oh fool, tell me who I see now so

Like a dream, but nightmares are dreams too, in my head, but my mind I stilI find you, oh pity, oh fool, take my hand lead me out 

Chorus
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Not a game, never same, we all fade away, but these tricks, it’s so hard to find you, oh pity oh fool, seems all is lost now

In the end, through the tears and the madness, find a smile as you echo among us, oh pity of fool, are you here with me now.  

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

In this track I am trying to fit together the sound of the Strat with the synthesizers available in the #AKAI #MPC. For example, the second verse starts with a #Strat arpeggio followed by a synth #arpeggio. 
An arpeggiated Strat is present also on the chorus, and it is stereo-balanced with the synth pads.

All the effects applied on the Strat are stock ones available in the MPC, and the pre-amp is done by the #Marshall DSL-1. The overdrive on the guitar is generated by the DSL-1 #tubes.

I am experimenting the usage of #synthbass, using two different tracks, for #subbass and for bass. I like the thick sound I get from this approach.

I doubled the melody on the chorus on different octaves to have a bigger sound, and I think it works quite well, please let me know what you think in the comments.

I like a lot the intro-outro which is harmonized using 11th chords with the synth - mainly #Hype - and and with the Strat.

The title Verkehr is a German word that means traffic. I shot the photos in the #Verkehrshaus museum - museum of transportation in Luzern, Switzerland.

Turn The Tide - Lyrics

If this world was to show you freedom
Would you take it if it shined like a light
Or would you choose to stay prisoner, captive
In this illusion of a life
Have you set your boundaries, borders
Do you know where your heart lies

Do we change the world
With our hearts and minds
Can we make it better
Can we change perception
Can we turn the tide

I only hope that we can come together
I see lots of hope but we don’t come together, no no no no

What do we need to turn the tide

Do we change the world
With our hearts and minds
Can we make it better

If this world was to show you freedom
Would you take it if it shined like a light
Or would you choose to stay prisoner, captive
In this illusion of a life
Have you set your boundaries, borders
Do you know what it takes to turn the tide
