I am so truly grateful to Jamie for steering me to this very song, this is such an amazing song lyrically and then both of your amazing vocals that compliment each other so very beautifully, wow, I love is , what an amazing collaboration!!!

God almighty....what a great song this is....the music and your vocals work so well together...Ruth is an outstanding talent, she has that rare thing we all crave - real Distinction in her voice !

Nie mam słów, piękne bardzo, słodsze niż miód i prawdziwe. Dziękuję.

Proszę umieście ten tekst na tekstowo.pl... niech ludzie którzy nie znają angielskiego poznali i prócz muzyki poczuli ten sens... Brak mi słów Chris, to jest naprawdę doskonałe.

To jest piosenka nie tylko dla mnie tego wieczoru czy dnia. Kłaniam się przed Tobą i Ruth. Nisko.

Thought I'd make this a cool 300 plays. ; )

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 wrote this song with Ruth Stavric in mind from the very beginning. I was so flattered that she accepted my invitation to collaborate.
I sent Ruth a very rough and "stark" version... giving her complete freedom to write her own lyrics and vocal melody... what she gave me in return literally brought me to tears.
At the risk of sounding immodest... I could not be prouder of how beautiful this turned out.
The profound lyrics and delicate performance of Ruth brought my usual "darkness" to a whole new level. I'm so honored by this magical gift. ...thank you most sincerely Ruth. ...your talents and beautiful heart will forever inspire me.

Please get to know Ruth Stavric and her music.

Thank you for listening.

Cheers,

Chris 


"The Danger Of Living"

(Chris Demkow)
There's no air to breathe
There's nothing to say
There's nothing to heal
There's nothing to save

The danger of living
What's so hard to see
...The danger of giving up
...of setting you free

(Ruth Stavric)
I'll hold my hands up
And turn around
I don't mind 
Falling to the ground 
The stars are shining 
But I can't  see them 
There hasn't been a clear sky
For a long, long time

The danger of living...
I thought I could handle
But the danger of loving you...
It got to me
I'll lay my arms down
And try to surrender
But, I guess I'm hoping
that you'll let me walk free
