Love the alternating rhythms. Your voice blends in so nicely as well.

Very unique track. Lovely piano, words and choppy riffs guiding the way! Bravo!

i was helping look for this song for a few months, finally found it on reverbnation a few days ago, amazing song :D

this is one of my favorite songs, the way it sounds so melancholic is soo goodd

This instrumental piece evokes the feeling of being elsewhere. We don't really know where. The image on the cover would seem to say that it is the sky and yet... no one can really say so much the cycles of this piece seem at the same time imperturbable while remaining secret in the metric of the score. Calm and yet seeming to make one feel the backwash of the wave, this piece thus seeks to question space and its perception rather than to attempt to give a single answer. "Ci-git l'espace", a magnificent and famous work by Yves Klein, could be the other title of this musical composition, which resonates with this desire not to necessarily show what we expect to hear or see.

Ce morceau instrumental évoque le sentiment d'être ailleurs. On ne sait pas vraiment où. L'image de la pochette semblerait dire qu'il s'agit du ciel et pourtant... nul ne peut vraiment le dire tant les cycles de ce morceau semblent à l fois imperturbables tout en restant secret dans la métrique de la partition. Apaisé et pourtant semblant faire ressentir les ressacs de la vague, ce morceau cherche ainsi à interroger l'espace et sa perception plutôt qu'à tenter de donner une réponse unique. "Ci-git l'espace", oeuvre magnifique et célèbre d'Yves Klein pourrait être l'autre titre de cette composition musicale qui résonne de cette volonté de ne pas forcément montrer ce que l'on s'attend à entendre ou à voir.

The Casual Detectives

This is The Casual Detectives. A group of older folks who enjoy investigating, in a dramatic way,  anything they might have questions about. 

Lyrics;
The Casual Detectives
Gather for the carpool
On the hunt for  some mysteries
Like Peroit and Mrs. Marple

These aren't Philip Marlowes
With dark sarcastic views
Sam Spades or Sherlock Holmes
Hardy Boys or Nancy Drews

Unusual suspects
With a little too much time
Searching for the answers
To questions they might find

Reading Hammet and Doyle
Chandler and Christie
Inspiration from the masters
To help them search successfully

For cases yet to be resolved
Intense discussions over dinner
Like the food sometimes a case gets cold
And the Thin Man just keeps on getting thinner

It's all about the mystery
It's a game they love to play
Not locked up in their living rooms
In a rocker night and day

Getting facts like ol Joe Friday
The Detectives hit the street
The Shadow knows where evil lurks
And that's where the gumshoes meet

For missing pieces of the puzzles
And many mysteries to explore
The Casual Detectives
Go on the hunt once more

To the finish they will chase
The clues to crack the case
Scooby Dooing through the town
To reveal the answer's face

It's elementary
They will leave no stone unturned
They're working on deductions
From information learned

The Casual Detectives
Have their own directive
Enjoy the time your given
And the mystery of living

The archaeological sensation that Irish musicians played with Indian musicians 2000 years ago, inspired me to write this piece. For more information look at this:

Hell On Earth

A friend of mine, an excellent singer Mr. Kodaka Schokichi aka Jumpin' Shokichi kindly permitted me to add some instruments to his song.
He likes to sing classic R & B songs and that is very nice. But I wanted him to sing his own original songs in Japanese. Why can songs touch our soul if the singer doesn't sing in his own language ? 
So I'm very glad he released the CD that contains his original songs ! He sang strumming the guitar without accompaniment except his own blues harp. I've really enjoyed his songs and naturally I played some instruments along  one of his songs. I was afraid that it might disrupt his song but he accepted what I'd done. He was delighted with this!
You can enjoy some of his songs on his Youtube Channel.

Lyrics in English

I’ve not been honest  
I should have known better
Only I could do was to escape selfishly from reality

Now I want to tell you how I feel
Please forgive me
I wish you could believe my words

Pushing myself too much
Without caring about others
I only did what I wanted to do

Please wait for a while
I want to let you know my feelings

Seeing the gray sky through the train window
I don’t know why but I can’t stop tears

The train will arrive at your town soon
It started to rain and I can’t see it clearly

It’s been many years since then
But imagined scenery is still the same for me

Seeing the gray sky through the train window
I don’t know why but I can’t stop tears

The train will arrive at your town soon
It started to rain and I can’t see it clearly

IN MY ROOM

recorded july 2nd 2025

It’s a beautiful picture 
To be away for a summer 
Missing the sound of your voice as the days drag on
Oh darling, it hurts

All the things that I’d do 
I wasn’t like you 
I wasted my time 
Trying to be what wasn’t me 

No one to hold on to 
I wish I could see you 
And we’re older now 
But it didn’t get better 

This hurts more than ever
i just can't forget you
i spent all my time
chasing things that were never meant for me

Blender and Chirp is my current indie project.  I'm here to just try to improve and to listen to what other independent musicians create. "In My Lifetime" , “Routine" and “That Dam Song” were written and sang by my friend Travis Houghton.  Those along with a few of my songs are from our band called "Quite the Softie".
