I just wanna say this straight up: I love your voice, and this is a very, very solid song!

I wanna sing with you one day, do a really haunting ballad or something similar...

Welcome back Chris! Winter is clearly behind us with inspiration thawing like the snow. Great track with shades of Bowie in that silky voice of yours.

Pixies Guitar? Joey Santiago-esque. Nice sound. as a great NO-Wave feel to it. Drives along nicely. 

I can hear the drums go doubletime here, tension in the vocal builing and pounding away,  peaking and then gently landing on the next "Bullets built this house" But your way is good too. ; ) Brilliant as always show off. Bravo.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party - Lovely chiming guitar build up. Good sound choice with this vivid lyric and powerful vocal. I'm putting my own personal interpretation on to this and in reality every listener has their own version of any song. I think I'm with you on this being a real stinker of a winter. We still have snow here when we should have spring flowers and little birds singing - just call me a hopeless Romantic. Great post to SC, keep them coming Chris. All the best, Mark

Good to hear your voice and music again! Long time no see! Hope you're all well? :)

love this tune Chris...low vocal register sounds awesome

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

Already Dead Tapes 

fade away (LP 'a lone cloudburst' OUT NOW)

Is it just me…
Or has everyone just seemed in terrible mood this winter?

...so, I'll leave it up to you...
Is this about a troubled domestic situation? ...or a guy who just arrived in prison? ...or god forbid.... BOTH!
LOL!
It’s good to be back! ;)

“If Bullets Built This House”
Words and music by: Chris Demkow 03/13

If bullets built this house…
There’s nothing worse than this
…The sound of your heart moving on
While I’m crippled with the guilt

If bullets built this house…
Then we’re sharing all the blame
There’s nothing worse than laughter…
While I’m trying to explain

If bullets built this house…
Which one owns the gun?
And if you’re really “serving life”…
Then who’s out having fun?

If bullets built this house…
Then I’m learning to play dead
Cause, what you might think are blanks
Are fucking with my head

If bullets built this house…

Why do we keep holding on?
If everything we do is wrong
And how can we compete with life?
If all our enemies are right beside us…inside us…
Covered in blood and broken glass

Did bullets build this house?

If Bullets Built This House

There's a lot more to learn about me and my music in the descriptions attached to each song...

I'm thrilled to be part of this extraordinary community.

Peace.

Chris
