Lyrics:

If wishes came true, I would never tell you
All the wishes I made when the candle blew
As the time flew

Those years go through and through
Cake candles turn to bottles of booze
But the ship inside has sunk
And the genie that turns the wheel is drunk

We're going down
You're going down to the bottom of the barrel where these wishes go

Genie in this object
Wake up and cast effect
Wishes blow with each breath
Our past still shows each wishful death

We're going down
You're going down to the bottom of the barrel where these wishes go

Genie in this object
Wake up and cast effect
Wishes blow with each breath
Our past still shows each wishful death

My Evolution

This round I'm covering a Japanese pop song.
The problem is, I don't know Japanese but I really like the music.
The original was performed by veteran singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga.  
I kind of shifted a little bit towards country pop in my arrangement and added an outro sax for completeness.  Just see what you think.

Apology to my Japanese friends for my probable weird pronunciation.

[LYRICS per Google Translation]
For you
I do not mind staying in my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

Easy eyes are created
I keep silent in that sky
Even if you do not miss a mystery love
Now I can not find a night here

For you 
I'm looking at a dream I have never seen before.
For you
Close your eyes, I love you

As the moment of two people runs out 
the troublesome thing to wear on your body
I can show you through

A desperate thought has risen up in that
All goes on to love as it is

For you
I do not mind having even my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

[ORIGINAL LYRICS]
あなたのために hu hu
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために huhu
透きとおって I love you

やさしい目が 创りだす
その空气に 默り迂む
ミステリーな恋  愉しんでも
探せない夜が いま ここに  

あなたのために huhu
见たことのない 梦を见つめてる 
あなたのために
目を闭じて I Love You

二人になる瞬间へ
走りだして 行くために
身に振りかかる わずらわしさ 
突き拔けてみせる いつ だって 

沸き起こる とりとめない想い
すべて 爱しさへ つづく

あなたのために ya ha
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために ya ha
透きとおって I Love You

Lyrics:
If you're having car trouble
Friends, I'm gonna save you some pain
Don't take your car to Bruno's
Washington & Main
Because you'll never be the same
Bad mechanic blues

His dog Snot
Yeah, he guards the lot
He doesn't have an invoice
With his name on it
He says: "Scratch paper is all I've got
Bad mechanic blues

Bad mechanic
I started to panic
But I've got myself to blame
I think I saw him driving my car
20 miles an hour in the fast lane

He's got nothing but excuses
His cousin is sick
And that part doesn't fit
Then he took my passenger seat out
Now my fat ass has nowhere to sit
Bad mechanic blues

He can't work
He claims he's a victim of a bad romance
You know he's freelance
He says: You're gonna have to pay me later
You're also going to have to pay me in advance
Bad mechanic blues

Bad Mechanic Blues

Your Man

Benny and Tony team up for a 'down and dirty' live version of the Stevie Wonder classic 'Superstition'.
This is their high energy and rock steady take on an iconic track that they make their own with Ben's bluesy guitar and arrangement. 
Tony does what he does best, a vocal performance that takes no prisoners! His 
passion and conviction drives the band to a great interpretation that even Stevie would be proud of.

ABOUT ME
I play the music I like to listen to. 
As a guitarist I like to think I have my own style.
Harmony, and the groove is what I'm chasing, hopefully with a tasteful, nuanced, and distinctive presentation. 
I don't have a genre as such. I could sort of call myself a smooth Jazz 'n' Blues guitar 'thang' but in reality every track crosses over multiple strands of R&B/Jazz/Funk/Pop. Don't be put off by my use of the "J" word. Jazz to me is anything unpredictable and I'm nothing if not contemporary. 
Rhythm playing is as much a part of my "game" as lead soloing. I love the Funk!
My main instrument is guitar. I play a 1973 Ovation Breadwinner, an Ibanez nylon stringed and a Yamaha keyboard loaded with Keyscape. Unless stated I play all the other instruments too (mostly Bass), and sequence MIDI and arrange/produce. 

MY JOURNEY
I was signed with Fresh Air records and EMI in the 1980's creating Jazz/funk dance tracks but things were just as challenging then as they are now for musicians so I got a 'proper job' for 20 years! During all that time my guitar was in the loft! I rediscovered music in 2010 and Soundcloud in 2014.


MY SOUNDCLOUD
I am grateful to Soundcloud listeners who take the time to press |>Play - and especially if you give me some feedback :-)
I hope what you hear will draw you in sufficiently to explore on my own website. Nearly all my original stuff (6 albums worth) are on www.BennySutton.com and all are downloadable.
Please don't follow me in hope of getting to get an automatic follow back. I don't do that because I only follow the smallest number of people I can keep track of. I'll have a look at your page but will only follow back if you are really of interest to me. See my follow list, you'll discover some very talented artistes, many of whom I have been lucky to Collab. Soundcloud really is the place to find the real innovators these days - not the music industry approved channels, especially MTV!
If you want to get my attention, send me a PM.
