A little ELO and a lot of neat soft pop rock fun here. Nice track Bruce! Durge

great track great vocal's and music, i love it.

Nice original sound, this is great own style there is something old kind of 60-70's vibe then also something modern and new. Lot of British rock comes to my mind, but this is really original and nice to listen. Mix is really good and sound is in balance, melodies are fresh also!

Great song and sound, Bruce. Lovely integration of vocals and instrumentation.

Very effective songwriting and production.

Lyrics : 

As a little girl I knew how to pray, 
But that was yesterday 
And now I forgot so I don’t know how to say 
That I want you to take me back to my young years 
Could you do this for me please 

I wonder how to pray

Seems that I’ve missed it all 
All the things 
You’ve put on my way 
How can  I’ve done so wrong ? 
How can I forget how to to pray ? 
Please bring me back to my young years
I’d like to start it all over

So before 
You take me cold
I’d like another chance 

I don’t know how to pray no more
What are the things you expect for(from) me tell me !

Everything goes slowly 
So slowly
But to quickly when I look back 
Looks like
I’m in a 
Shabby old summer road movie 
With those old dirty cars and trucks  
And the sun Going down

drowning the landscape 
In the dark 
Just like me
 actually 

Take me back to my young years please 

I don’t know how to pray but I’d like you to hear me
Please take me back to my young years 
I want to start it all over again 
Heal me
Bring me
Where There are so much things  for I  to say 

don’t take me cold today 
I still have so much things to do 
I want to show the world who I am even if I know it’s not what you expect me to do 
It’s only because I feel that I have so many things to sing so many things  to say 
Hear me 
Heal me
And tell me what I’ve done wrong 
One day maybe yesterday 

I love my life 
Can’t tell the rest of it 
I love my life but I want to change it now 
Take me back to my young years so I can live what I’m supposed to live
Take me back where I belong to now
 
I wanna live on the stage

I have so many things to say
Even if nobody cares

Please   take me back 
To my     yoUng years

Not much I can do about the tragic events in Ukraine. I've decided that the aggressors can't appropriate the Z, so I'm taking it back in this metaphorical musical battle.

This is a tweaked master (for some of you this may be basics). I moved both the organ and vocal noisegate from last to first in the effects chain. This allows the effects such as delay to work and sound as intended. Also tried a saturator on the lead "high" vocal to make it stand out more in the mix. You will all let me know if this worked (it is most noticeable at the end where you can hear the organ fade out with the planned delay). On a side-note if anybody is interested in how the "sucking" effect is achieved on the drums it is using a combination of regular and reverse reverb. 

TAKING BACK THE Z

I’m taking back the Z
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
It’s not white 
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
U

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll move from place to place
I’ll zig and I’ll zag
I’ll duck and I’ll hide
I’ll stay alive
I can’t let go, no

I’ll weave and I’ll bob
Be a thorn in your side
I’ll run and I’ll jump
No river’s too wide
I can’t let go, no

I’m taking back the Z
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s not white
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
Yellow and blue

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll beg and I’ll pray, 
Turn every stone
I’ll rant and I’ll rave
I’ll never rest
I can’t let go, no

I’ll be your worst nightmare
No matter your might
Be your worst nightmare 
Both day & night
I can’t let go, no

It’s all mine…

Only You Can Rock Me

Go Beyond

JEEVAN BHAAVANA (Life Spirit) is composed by Ray Ryeridge 2022.
Another one of my songs inspired by voice samples from India.
Allthough i must admit i have no idea what they are singing about,judging from the sheer beauty of their voices its certainly something benign in nature.
I hope the listener is not annoyed by by repeated use of bells in so many of my songs.Im just simply enchanted by them and i cant help myself once im under the spell of beauty.

Love...as a feeling you get when you go over Niagara Falls in a barrel?

That image was developed by simply approaching a collaboration (with UK musician, Anthony Gee - Liquid on mp3u) with the "start where you are" wisdom. What is more iconic for people working with a Canadian than Niagara Falls? 

Anthony had been exploring electronica using a midi keyboard, but had never written a rock tune. Ever ready for opportunities to help others, I asked Anthony for a keyboard progression as a foundation, since he was taking piano lessons at the time, and from that foundation the rock track would be built with the addition of lyrics, guitar, and harmonica. Eventually the song needed an instrumental, and that was where the real learning for Anthony took place - he had never learned to improvise, only to read music. Thinking out of the box and feeling the music is a little intimidating for some. So, many file-exchanges later, he had let his hair down enough to try that rock organ phrase that appears here. 

Here's to learning, to experimenting, to learning to give control over to others and to celebrating life-long learning. Who ever said you can't teach old dogs new tricks?

Lyrics:

I thought love was so simple,
But it turns out it's really complex,
With a lot of inuendo
There's body language
There's the subtle conversation,
And it's driving me mad
I feel I'm in a barrel going over a falls
In a barrel, going nowhere at all

I thought love was the cure that I needed
But it seems I was wrong
And there's no doubt about it
Love can be easy, like a lazy river
But when the current picks up
You better know how to paddle
I feel I'm in a barrel going over a falls
In a barrel, going nowhere at all

(instrumental)

I thought love was gonna take me to places
My heart hadn't seen, and I was anticipatin'
The joy and the bliss 
That I had found with your kissin'
Took me too far from shore
And now I'm self-destructin'

I feel I'm in a barrel going over a falls
In a barrel, going nowhere at all

In A Barrel (With Anthony Gee)

We're taking a parallel vacation
We’ll Fly
Our compass has truly lost it's way…. today.
If you could wire me at convenient times
Why why why
We could be sharing all our days 
These days go by
Bye Bye baby bye-bye
Bye Bye baby bye-bye

We're taking a parallel vacation
Are compass has truly lost its way...today

With a different itinerary
We might be heading home
With a different outlook now
We could be falling back in love again.

We are taking a parallel vacation
We’ll Fly
Our compasses truly lost their way…. today.
If you could wire me at convenient times
We could be sharing all our days
These day's go by 
Bye Bye baby bye-bye
Bye Bye baby bye-bye

If there was only two traits that came through in my music, I would hope that it would seem to be effortless and inevitable.
