A version of Jimena’s open collaboration ‘You Are Not Him’ by Dairv Dubbleyew and myself. 
Dairv approached me some time back and asked if l would like to contribute some electric piano and synths to some vocal stems he had listened to by a wonderful Argentinian vocalist named Jimena. Dairv had an idea to add a "rocked up" treatment to the stems and l was only to pleased to contribute to the project. 
This is the result.

You Are Not Him Lyrics

You have been so kind as to fill up my expectations
But you were weak, you let yourself be deceived by my retaliation
Against him, the man I could never forgive
For leaving me to pursue his dreams
Time has passed but I still die for his touch
I can’t help but silently scream, I’ve missed him so much
Now he has returned to me and I can’t let him go

I can’t see him in your eyes
I can’t feel him in your arms
I can’t taste him when my lips touch your mouth
I don’t even know who you are
But definitely you’re not him

You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best 
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me really don’t want to learn

You have been a perfect resort to my imagination
But now, now, my dear, now I don’t need your infatuation 
To fill in spaces, doubts withinIt’s time to put an end to this game
No-one should be really to blame, things took a new twist
I’ve always told you he was my man, and yet you’d insist
Now he has returned to me and I won’t let him go

I can’t see him in your eyes
I can’t feel him in your arms
I can’t taste him when my lips touch your mouth
I don’t even know who you are
But definitely you’re not him

You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best 
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me can’t be taught to behave

Now he has returned to me - I cannot let him go
I can’t see him in your eyes
I can’t feel him in your arms
I can’t taste him when my lips touch your mouth
I don’t even know who you are
But definitely you’re not him

You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best 
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me really don’t want to learn
You are not him and never will be
So thanks I wish you the best 
You are not me so you will not understand
Fools like me can’t be taught to behave

You Are Not Him - (Jimena - Dairv Dubbleyew - Chris Kinsey)

Dairv approached me around the New Year with the idea of a second collaboration with Jimena. He had the basic chord structure,drums,bassline and guitar sections of a song completed and asked me to add a piano melody and some organ. He contacted Jimena in order to write the lyrics and record them in her own wonderful style. Dairv then set to work producing,mastering and mixing all the component pieces. This is the completed piece.
Many,many thanks to Dairv and Jimena for making the whole recording experience such a fulfilling experience.

Mind Maze Lyrics

Caught in a nightmare
From which I can’t escape
I gulp in foul air
And mortal dread takes shape
No recollection
Of joyful memories
Sheer desolation
No more victories

The throes of delusion engulf me and swallow me 
It’s getting too hard to wake up from this dream
And all the confusion that toys with my sanity
Invites me to let out a blood-curdling scream

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
Mind maze

Running blind in the wilderness
Chased by unfounded fears
I’m fleeing from the emptiness
That threatens to feed on me

The throes of a nightmare engulf me and swallow me 
Although I’m awake as can possibly be
And all the despair that consumes me and blinds me
Makes me wanna cry, makes me wanna scream

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
(No way out of here)
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
No way out of here

In these blurry surroundings my mind plays tricks on me
If give in to madness, will my worries disappear?
Oh, if I succumb to the darkness, will you find me in my sleep?
Please don’t take an eternity to come and rescue me
Rescue me

I succumb to this wasteland
Can’t fight this pantomime
As I sink deep in quicksand 
I reach out to you one last time

Someone please save me
There’s no way out of this mind maze
(No way out of here, no way out of here)
My heart betrayed me
And now I’m all lost in this mind maze
(No way out of here)
No way out of here

Save me
Save me from myself

Release date:
31 May 2017
