This puts me in mind of Bowie in his Beckenham Festival days. Great writing and performances. Chris

This is one of the most unusual and interesting pieces I'v heard here in a while, much enjoyed!

Beautiful, love all the lyrical details! Great guitar work.

Feel so nice

It ended up a lot more 80s than I originally intended.

Fish with anxiety problems
Lobsters with anxiety problems
Squid with anxiety problems

They think about
Disturbing facts
They think about
Things I don't want to
But I don't want to
Come across as
The kind of person
You'd walk away from so

I'm trying hard to be happy
Even though everything is wrong
I'm trying not to be down
Even though that doesn't really work

Girls with anxiety problems
Boys with anxiety problems
Robots with anxiety problems

They think too much
They focus on
On all the things that
That could go wrong but
But I don't want to
Come across as
The kind of person
You wouldn't talk to so

[Repeat chorus]

Fish with anxiety problems etc.

I'm Trying Hard To Be Happy

Taken from the Album 'Spill it on the Sky' available on all major platforms.

Curtis Blow

This song is about appreciating what we have now instead of waiting for tomorrow

LIFE IS NOW

Keeping this up in the interests of national security...

 in honor of the toxic human being who would sacrifice everything for the sake of his own brittle ego  (if you disagree please don't bother telling me--we inhabit different cognitive universes, and I wish you the best in yours)

This Jeremiad just gets truer by the day 

hazy yeah I have a memory
bought with a ticket by the back gate it's coming to me now

if no one can name the deed there's no way to come back to me
there's no room in my house for back stabbers

I could be the one you need with the greatest of ease
you're gonna see a plan work out
you might be the one to bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I keep a list of all the things they've done to me
and a payback posse with a violent creed
you oughta know better than to fuck with me

I need a girl that keep her legs open and her mouth shut
don't say you didn't sign right there on the line
you'll be kicking and screaming but your ass is mine

who's that waiting there over by the dim light
I can feel the stare but I'm not scared
somebody's gonna bleed but don't you love me
you're gonna be free so have no doubt

I'm gonna burn this house down tonight
it's always been about me

I’ll be longing

The day is over, the pace dialed down to slow
On the sky above me, the stars begin to show
Jupiter there with its beautiful moons
Mars over there, red fiery gloom 

As I look through my fingers at Orion’s belt
I swear it was your presence I just felt
Knowing with certainty, i don’t have to tell
That you can see the same stars as well

And so it is my love, so it is …could it be any better
And ill be longing

A gentle breeze makes me heave for breath
I turn to see something bright in the west
For a second I see a smile on your face
Before I realize it’s just the evening haze

How tiny our silhouettes are under the sky 
It’s as if we never met and had to say goodbye
But through this words and a simple little song
I’ll see you soon, don’t you know
It won’t be long

And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better
So it is my love so it is
Come with me and be a part of this
And so it is my love so it is
Could it be any better

So it is my love so it is
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing
And ill be longing

I'll Be Longing

This collaboration came about when I was commenting on a track from @cosmic-ratzzz, saying how I was very inspired and influenced by his incredible music and style - both solo, and the over 100 (!) songs he & @Joerxworx have worked on together. Then suddenly, Ratzzz offered to send me a track he created - a complete backing arrangement (bass, drums, clav, synth, keys, some sax, effects, etc.) - and suggested I add something to it. I was apprehensive cause his stuff is top notch quality, but I took a stab at it, and this is what came out. My part is the 2 lead horns - sax & muted trumpet (both played on keyboard), and Ratzzz did everything else. 

The title comes from the fact that Ratzzz made it so easy to work with because of his incredible talent and a fully baked track to solo over. I tried to leave some space and work around what he was doing and I think it turned out quite nice for a first try.
The image is a bit of a mashup I did of both our SC avatars.

Thanks Ratzzz for your generosity and amazing music; hope you all like this!

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

Living On The Edge - with IPG1

Memories of my adolescence it was one of the favorite songs of my parents, now sadly deceased, I have come to share this video, a personal cover of one of Georges AURIC's songs taken from the film "Moulin Rouge" (Moulin Des Amours) that I have suitable for guitar. (I still deliver the S.C version) ...I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.  YouTube:  https://youtu.be/eoNauyZnlFs

Moulin Rouge (Moulin Des Amours)

WHEN YOU FINALLY L:EAVE

Future sunset Omarama
Knowing only you will see
It’s a low brow shrinking ceiling

A contract without words
It’s the thick of family
Harbinger of lonely hearts
The fate of you and me

And when you finally leave
We gotta face it courageously
When you finally leave
We gonna have to suck it up – it’s the right thing to do
We gonna have to draw down on memory 

Fate is born by trajectory
Attraction mangles fences
Leaving snow grass blowing free

And how the years were kind to us
Yearning for the workplace
The weekends oh so bleak

And when you finally leave . . .
Instrumental
You got a date stamp – a black hole in the sky - And I got to make way

You and your Omarama – we’ll both be conscience free
But how will we feel? . . . 

Cause when you finally . .

When You Finally Leave

Portal To Another World

Pack your bags we’re leaving town
Let’s go before the dawn
Unplug the fridge and lock the windows gently
Don’t wake the man next door.

Overhead the geese are flying in formation
They’re Heading to the lake
Beside the swings and slides we know so well
With our kids and our crumbs of cake.

The road is long and dusty
From the suburbs to the fields
Your face against the window sleeping
Washed by the summer breeze

Is this a new beginning?
And are we really here?
Can you hear the bells are ringing?

Scrub walls and paint the floorboards
These ghosts can find another home
Patch up the broken window
Light the hearth chase out the gloom

Weedpatch and wild grasses
Turn the soil and plant the seed
Make work for hungry children
Take your turn beneath the heat

The road is long and dusty
From the suburbs to the fields
Your face against the window sleeping
Washed by the summer breeze.

Is this a new beginning?
And are we really here?
Can you hear the bells are ringing?
The rains are drawing near

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to our music. We have been writing and performing originals for many years. And will continue to do so. We want to give form to what we feel every day. Yes, then music will come down from somewhere.

Vocal: Tadanori Ono, Hiroyuki Ishimoto
Guitar: Haruki Nishida, Hiroyuki Ishimoto 
Bass: Hiroyuki Ishimoto
Drum: Yuji Yamamoto 
Produce: Davy Lotsbooks

Mostly original tracks, a few covers here and there. Thank you for even getting this far. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions all welcome. It's pretty lonely out here toiling over every sound wave and grubby plugin. Any feedback is appreciated and if you've got a track you want me to hear send it over - what comes around goes around etc. A huge shout out to Len Rice for all his production suggestions on this and other tracks of mine - a true expert, check him out https://soundcloud.com/lenrice
One day I hope to get some collaborations going and a far off dream is to re awaken all these tracks in a live environment with a live band and maybe even a live audience. For now the dream keeps me going. Thanks for listening.

I'm trying to use as much real instrumentation as possible: a Taylor and a Norman acoustic guitars, a Fender Strat Roadhouse that goes out of tune if I even look at it, a cheap Vintage mandolin that hurts to play and listen to, an 80 year old zither banjo that screams 'I was never destined for this' and a borrowed Aria Pro II bass that a friend can can never be bothered to take home on the bus. Synths are a plasticky Roland FA06 and a fun but dumb Korg minilogue. Throw in some Native Instruments software primarily for smoochy piano and strings, a £15 melodica full of tramp spit, some harps in impossible tunings, and a box of percussion and assorted prehistoric flints (are you really still reading this??). 

All recorded on Logic Pro X on an ancient iMac that is going to explode any minute and take my entire oeuvre with it. And most likely burn the house down.
