Great feel and sentiment in this one chris

The question you ask yourself here is the part that really sells it to me. It's not just the question, "Am I strong enough?" it's the way you are asking it. Great inflection! Adds drama to an already well painted story. Masterful.

I like how this begins and other melodic changes drift through the middle.  Nice vocals you have.  :)  ~toniet

Just discovered another genius track (thanks to Scott). This is strong, seductive and subtle all at the same time. Very soulful, so I love that 'soul' is in the title. Appreciate the doubting tone at the end, we can all ask ourselves these questions. FAV and listening on a daily basis. Superb skills. Glad I found this. Thank you, Chris. 

Been checking inventory on Memory Lane today, this is the first Demkow I ever heard, it still has the same impact on me today, and I believe it is still my favorite, the doubt and the way you ask "am I strong enough?" tugs at my heart. There have been many times that your music has touched me deeply, and I wanted to say thanks for doing what you do. I love the way you do, that voodoo, that you do, so well. Merry Christmas man.

tasty 808 rim here good choice to put in the mix!

just clawing through your back cato....dont know how ive never made it here before... this is great... love the sequenced sound in this, great stuff / Kev

agree with Scotty boy, the piano, especially at the start of this break is inspired, the whole section  is hauntingly brilliantl

"A Soul Turning"
Words and music by Chris Demkow / March 2011

I'm living on this earth
But I can't feel the ground
Nothing here feels sure
And my soul keeps turning 'round

Am I there enough?
Have I done enough for you?
Am I strong enough?
To help us get through?

I can feel my heart
But I can't see it work
No one says I'm wrong
But they can't stop the hurt

Am I there enough?
Have I done enough for you?
Am I strong enough?
To help us get through?

A Soul Turning

Can I Have This Dance

A few of my favourite things brought together on one track. I'm reliably informed that it's not a mash-up.  I instrumentalled the parts for one of the two pieces, and cut-up a track from an existing one.  I guess it's a schmoosh-up.  Can you tell what it is yet?

We Were Young

When i was your dog

Gianmaria aka O'Boy! Is a friend and colleague of mine. We both share passion for electronic music with analog instrument so we have met at my studio to enjoy some experiment together. We have built this track with a wonderful prophet, monomachine, octatrack and virus routing everything crazy!
Liroj, one of my favorite singer/artist on SC has kindly allowed us to use his voice which we have obviously post processed too:)
Enjoy this rather dark atmosphere

Simply too beautiful a song not to cover ... 

Lyrics :

Rows and flows of angel hair 
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, 
I've looked at clouds that way.

But now they only block the sun, 
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done, 
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, 
The dizzy dancing way that you feel
As every fairy tale comes real, 
I've looked at love that way.

But now it's just another show, 
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know, 
Don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now 
From give and take but still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud, 
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, 
I've looked at life that way.

But now old friends are acting strange, 
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained 
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now 
From up and down, and still somehow 
It's life's illusions I recall 
I really don't know life at all

It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life
I really don't know life at all
