This is just an absolute triumph of a track, wonderful lyrics, superbly delivered.

Incredible - you keep pulling these beauties out and placing them carefully on a sliver of moonlight - they disolve leaving the listener quiety awestruck. Beautiful work Chris. 

Like thus alot. Very haunting track....... 

Sublime piano playing and then that vocal kicks in - wow. Desolate and beautiful.

This is a special one Chris. Absolutely spellbinding.  

Lovely track, interesting choice of vibrato in the vocals too. Good to hear.

Lovely instrumental break, chimes, strings et al, perfect!

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

Both sides now - Joni Mitchell cover

I thought it might be fitting to re post this for the final weekend of January.
...Besides... I've been on this train alone for a few weeks now... could use some company I guess.

Peace.

January Train
Words and music by: Chris Demkow 01/12

I know you agreed
To stay away when you see me turn
I hear your whispers floating softly down
But every word is white and blurred

All aboard this train
All aboard the January Train
All aboard this train
All aboard

I need your embrace
No matter of the darkness on my face
I find it hard to thaw my fears
And all your warmth is bringing me the rain

All aboard this train
All aboard this January Train
All aboard this train
All aboard
