Gary, of Mountain Songs (https://soundcloud.com/mountain-songs)
contacted me about 2 years ago and offered me a baseline stem from an Alpha Roots collaboration he was working on with Joerxworx. About 2 years ago, that is crazy! I, of course, said I would take the stem. I needed to finish some other songs that were in the works before getting to play with Alpha Roots’s baseline. By the time I was ready to connect with the vibe, Russia had invaded Ukraine, unfathomable tragedy had begun, and the world was changing again. My song writing reflected the horror of what was going on. By the time all the stems were gathered, vocals were recorded, and the song was mixed and mastered, another war had broken out and the horror continued. 

Massive thanks to Mountain Songs for  trusting me with these blessed Alpha Roots stems. So glad Jamie, Jonathan, Joerxworx, and Russ got a chance to work with Alpha Roots again. Alpha Roots lives on. 

And the song is ready just in time for Halloween!

Lyrics: 

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep, right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
Never thought what you were thinkin’
Now you only speakin’ what he spoke

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
Fillin’ ‘em with dread ya

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari gonna open
The coffin where you’ll rest
On his order you awaken
Now you answerin’ without questionin’ his behest 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in

Sleep walker doing bidding in the night
Night stalker, half asleep right now, while you fright, wow
Sleep walker hypnotized prowler by the moon
Moon shocker, mindless rocker, from the tomb eww

Dr. Caligari caught cha sleepin’
Day dreamin’ though you woke
In the shadows see you creeping
His knife hidden inside his cloak 

It’s a somnambulist break in
Break in
Gonna stab them in the bed now
It’s a somnambulist break in 
Break in
It all turning red now

*This image of canned, creamed possum, which I found years ago on the internet, and the idea of canning possum (and possum road kill), has intrigued and fascinated me for some time. As I was writing what I thought was a 'sexy' vocal on top of Oussama's sexy track, this song kept interrupting the process, and so much so that I thought I would get it out of my system to quiet the impulse, and then continue on with the original song.
I actually love possums and think they get a bad rap for being too aggressive. 
Stay tuned for the other version...

The latest from Texas Tea.  Terry had come up with this sunshiney track a while ago and recently redid a few things.  I jumped in and added the counter melody guitar lines and Terry mixed and produced it all.  Static Glow

The Past Is Gone

A second cup of coffee				T + M Otto Scharbau Dez 2020
The world is crazy. I’m also crazy sometimes. People destroy others and themselves. 
A few people decide to make war to kill thousands, millions, soon perhaps the whole world with the power of modern weapons 
What can I do? Becoming depressive? Be paralyzed?

No, I drink my second cup of coffee and look, what is to do in that nice world with nice people, most of them are.
