The Key

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar playing on the work "Lover's Prayer" by Lisha Nandi.
https://soundcloud.com/lisha-nandi-124733328/lovers-prayer
--------------------------------------------------------
When I first listened to Lisha's this work, I was completely fascinated by it. I think the vocals, lyrics, composition, and performance are all excellent, and the balance between them is wonderful.When I suddenly returned to myself, I was holding my Les Paul, and have started recording with it.

The original work released by Lisha can be thought of as a completed "acoustic version".If I think the purpose of adding and releasing my guitar playing to it is to promote and disseminate the existence of that wonderful "acoustic version".

＊If you are practicing playing the guitar, please use it to master the performance of "C # m Pentatonic Scale".I think there are several ways to practice playing the guitar with this song, this time I mainly played and recorded it using the "C # m pentatonic scale".

If the foundation is neglected, there will be no future development. Those who neglect their proficiency in the pentatonic scale and act as if they have mastered not only the pentatonic scale but also the blues scale will most hope that listeners will misunderstand that their guitar playing is good. .. It's a very dangerous adventure.

I eagerly want anyone to get out of that dangerous situation as soon as possible.Any guitar player who hasn't mastered it can't get out of the "beginner". I think.

If you know that it is used in the following representative songs, everyone who has not used it before will surely say "Oh, is that a pentatonic scale?"

The Beatles --Let It Be
This song has different solo performances on the single version and the album version, but it is a guitar solo called "A minor(C major) pentatonic scale textbook" from the time it was released.

Led Zeppelin --Stairway to Heaven
Even in this song, a guitar solo will appear at the end of the song. This is a solo performance using the "A minor Pentatonic Scale", which is a little more difficult than the above.

Eagles --Hotel California
A very famous guitar solo will be developed at the end of this song as well. Since it is a twin lead, it is a more difficult solo performance. The "B minor pentatonic scale" is used.

The guitar playing that I layered on the original sound source is very simple. Some may say it's too simple.However, it doesn't make any sense to crush the sound of vocals and other instruments to make only the sound of the guitar.

There is no guitar solo in this attempt, and I didn't play the chords and tried to accompaniment phrases. This is because it is meaningless unless the listener can easily listen to vocals and other performances. Therefore, I think it is easier to practice the scale using the guitar.

PS
There are quite a few artists I would like to collaborate with someday. Lisha has long been one of the representatives, and I have long waited for the opportunity to come. Recently, I have actually had the opportunity to dramatically improve the collaborative environment. Even with an already completed sound source, it is impossible to completely separate it for each instrument, but now it is possible to separate files into several major parts. 

In this work, even if the volume is set a little louder to maintain the sound quality of the guitar, the vocals are cut out from other parts, so the volume and sound quality of the vocals could be sufficiently maintained. That is one of the major backgrounds that made it possible to release this recording
(I've uploaded a version here that matches the genuine Apple earphones for the iPhone, so  it's a good idea to set up an equalizer for your listening environment).

Lisha approved my this attempt to be published here. I thank her sincerely for her generosity.

This song is basically about relationships where two people love each other unconditionally.
Take the good with the bad and support each other no matter what.
That to me is what love is meant to be. 

When You Love Someone

I love you
You love me
That's the way its meant to be

Good or bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

Good or Bad
Yours or mine
That's the way its meant to be

Up or down
Smile or frown
That's the way its meant to be

Without your love my soul would die
Without your love then who am I

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good

First or last
Future or past
That's the way its meant to be

Sometimes life can get you down
Just call my name I'll come around

When you love someone it feels so good
When you love someone it feels so good.

Treasured Wounds
There's a neon sign blinkin
On the wrong side a town
It's an old lighthouse beacon
For lost soul's run aground
And they look at their live's
Like a vein that's been opened
And ya can't tell for sure
If their laughing or choakin

Some sit in silence
and stare off in space
And some holdin court
Tend to get in your face
But they all see themselves
Like a coin that's been tossed
And hope that their worth what they've lost

So turn back the clock
To back when it stopped
And we'll sing all our old favorite tunes
And resurrect kneel bow and gene-flecked
Before our most treasured of wounds

Now memories and shadows
grow long with the day
and come back to life
when night has it's way
And we're all old soldier's
we won the war
only to fall on our swords

Before our most treasured wounds
Before our most treasured wounds
And it takes one to know one down here

Lucky Little Boy   Conover/Wiggs
In the evening
when the sun goes down.
I pull you close to me
and I’m so proud.
That your the Girl
I know that can’t be found by
Lucky Little Boy’s like me.

I can’t be fooled by you,
but I believe in me and you.
Somehow and Forever
I Do, I Do

In the evening
When the sun goes down.
I pull you close to me
and I’m so proud
That your the girl
I know that can’t be found by
Lucky Little Boy’s like me.

And when the children are asleep
We will reflect upon this night together.
All the roads we drove.
All the blessings showed.
All these things and more
opened up the door
For a Lucky Little Boy

Ode to Earth

I used to work in a municipal council depot in the late 1980’s and met some brilliant characters. Ronnie was one of them - he used to walk 3 miles each way to work/home. He had interesting views on life! It’s a bleak folk song but with some humour thrown in. They all used quite fruity/earthy expressions and I wanted to capture some of that. I hope you enjoy it. Mastered by RCD Digital. 
Lyrics 

Cough up the green, like a dying mans wheeze 
Mould on the walls, there’s no enjoyment 
Clothes so damp, they’ll rot your bones
It’s all frustration and disappointment 

Life is a sore that never heals

Day after day it’s just
Walk to work, pick up them bags 
Throw them in as the packerplate screeches 
Home, eat, soak my plums if I’m lucky, then sleep
But it’s still dark when I wake up! 

In all weather we work, shine, snow and rain
Fevers and puking, we push through the pain
But don’t think the boss will let you be late 
The old man will lose it and show you the gate!!

Life is a sore that never heals

Day after day it’s just
Walk to work, pick up those bags
Throw them in as the packer plate screeches 
Home, eat, sink some pints if I’m lucky
And sleep, but it’s still dark when I wake up 

And the great and the good, shiny and monied
their perfect kids with daddy and mummy 
What’s it to me where they live, what they do
How they’re doing in school, or where they holiday to?
I don’t care , it’s not my life
Leave me alone! 

And now there’s lots of management around
To save some money and cut some rounds
But there’s only so much these old bones can take
Push me too hard and the old back will break

Scratch cards! Yeah scratch cards
Thank God for scratch cards 
One lucky match,  I break free
But until then, it’s the same old routine

Day after day it’s just
Walk to work 
Pick up those bags
Throw them in as the packer plate screeches 
Home, eat, sit and rest if I’m lucky 
Then sleep, but it’s still dark when I wake up!

Everybody knows Gene...Yes they do
You'll want to stay all day
And everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
No-one wants a party 
If Gene isn’t about
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?

Everybody knows Gene...

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games 
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den? 
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again?

We’re playing hide and seek with Gene
Everybody knows Gene...
We’re playing hide and seek with Gene

We’re all counting on you coming
All gathered in your name
We’ve filled a dozen toasters
Got the music and the games 
Are you hiding in the attic?
Are you down inside the den?
Can we hear you in a cupboard?
Or have you upped and fled again? 
Everyone is looking for you
Everybody seeks you out
Are you hiding in the garden?
Are you swimming in the pool?
Is there music in the kitchen?
Are you on the hill you fool?

@phil-mcwalter took my original music bed and created a bit of a homage to George Martin imagining another facet to The Fool On The Hill character. He said and I quote: "Bruce's track was so redolent of the Beatles already. The @conover bed included the main man singing the eponymous title lines "Everybody knows Gene..." and the lovely rich "bum, bum, bum" and "la, la, la..." bits! I cut it all up and sellotaped it back together in a different order; added lyrics, the song verse/chorus, and the additional orchestration (brass, guitars, strings etc). Good fun working with BC material as always! (Isn't the bass line stunning for one example!)"

AND NOW THE REMIX! I worked on Phil's version and edited, remixed and remastered, added a few friends contributions and some different seasonings, cooked it all up on Bruce's beachside barbecue and invited you all over to enjoy the new flavours! Please enjoy and bring a bottle! I promise not to hide!! Lyrics and provenance below:

Everybody Knows Gene (Conover & McWalter)

Got A Line On You

Let me take you little baby, down to the river bed
And I've got to tell you somethin' it’s gonna go right to your head.
Cause I’ve got a line on you, baby
Yes I do
I got a line on you.

You gotta put your arms around me
With every bit of your love
If you know what to do, I'll make love to you 
Cause you got the right line to make it through these dark and dreary times.
I got a line on you baby oh you know I do.
I've  got a line on you bababababababa baby

I got a line on you babe I'll tell you now.
I got a line on you

Let me take you little baby, down to the river bed
And I got to tell you somethin', it’s gonna go right to your head.
I got a line on you, baby
yes I do
I got a line on you.

Got A Line On You....   Conover/Dome  (Spirit Cover)

Little Kiku you made me smile this morning
while we had coffee out 
the rain began to fall on our menu as we planned our famous day … 
and then you reach to me 
and that look in your eye could stop every single bird in this sky or at least they would try to slow down 
those little birds could slow down

are you not sleeping well
are you eating all right
do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
i love you Kiku

Are you not sleeping well
Are you eating all right
Do you worry of things that can go bump in the night
I love you Kiku
I love you Kiku

Little Kiku you know I have no way of finding you in this big dark city 
This big dark city tonight
come home
just come home to me

we can go out for coffee
we can stand in the rain
just let me explain
just let me explain

and then you reach for my hand
and I see that look in your eye
you could stop birds in the sky 
or at least get them to slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down
slow down 
slow down
It's 10 o'clock......
night night
