Just beautiful Chris, Mary is a lucky lady!

Beautiful and intelligent.  An easy fave sir

Gorgeous! I absolutely love the lyrics. Thanks for sharing!

Oh my... Chris.. what a beauty of  singing... such a lovely subtle tremolo... and such wonderful words..

I can hear the emotion in this track. Good work

Many familiar names following you and somehow I've just discovered your fine talent. Hello!

Back for another listen. I'm a fan of sad songs and this is up there especially as I'm having a bad day today :)

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

P.C.T by SLEEVES

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've been sitting on this for a couple of months...
Didn't really know what to make of it (besides knowing it was written for my girlfriend Mary... who by the way used to work for the Cleveland Museum of Natural History...hence some of the lyrical theme)...
Anyway, having played it for her... it seemed to have served it's purpose.
And I've sort of overlooked it since. 

I did briefly consider giving this to Broker Jonathan to sing and play guitar (doesn't this sound like him?) ...though I can't say for sure...it was probably inspired by his music after a listen to his work.

Anyway, Mary's been having a bad week dealing with some difficult family issues...

So, I was inspired to share this tonight.

...for Mary. xoxo


"The Holes In Who I Am"  
Music and Lyrics by: Chris Demkow Sept. 2012

I remember believing the world was flat
Making fire with cavemen grew from that

Now, all that I know can't fill up...
All the holes in who I am
...Without you

All the words of the ages...
All the songs and the art...
All the hope of the faithful... 
The moon and the stars...

You're alive... you're alive...

...What else do I need to learn?

Cause, all that I know can't fill up...
All the holes in who I am
...Without you
