Dakoda Sada Ft. Ze And Xir - Not The One

Original song inspired by the question what if someone like David Bowie never found his way to his muse. How many wonderful gifts remain in the hearts of their creators never to be seen by the world?

Lyrics
He wears a suit that never fit him and it's sad to say it fits him worse now
He has no clue of how to change it so he silently puts it on every day
He used to think his life would burn so brightly Now he tells himself what a joke he really is
Still a voice cries from deep within Come on Man I’ve always been here

He wears a suit that never fit him and the world just shrugs
Another mumbling voice in the wilderness against this world’s din
How can we fight for every square inch of land but for our own people not give a damn
Still even with all odds against it beauty finds a way to shines

How can we calculate the loss when a wildflower never blooms
How can we measure the loss of a genius that the world never knew

He wears a suit that never fit him and I hope he finds his way out
Cause there are empty places in our psyche waiting for his touch
Let’s pray he finds his way through the maddening maze to the place where his muse waits  
So that we can find one more place to rest in this parched land of ours

He Wears A Suit

this is a cover sung by my youngest son Paul.

WE'VE ALL SEEN OLD BARNS
ON COUNTRY ROADS
THAT NEED PROPPIN' UP
ON THE LEANIN' SIDE

WHEN LIFE GETS IN OUR WAY
AND WE'RE ON A DOWN HILL SLIDE
WE NEED PROPPIN' UP
ON THE LEANIN' SIDE

(CHORUS)
LORD, PROP US UP ON THE LEANIN' SIDE  
WHEN EVERYTHINGS GOIN' WRONG
PROP US UP ON THE LEANIN' SIDE  
WHEN WORRIED ABOUT THE UNKNOWN
PROP US UP ON THE LEANIN' SIDE  
WHEN WE'RE FEELIN' ALL ALONE

WE ALL HAVE GOOD DAYS 
WHEN EVERYTHINGS GOIN' RIGHT
WE ALL HAVE BAD DAYS
WHEN EVERYTHINGS GOIN' WRONG

WE ALL HAVE GOOD TIMES
WHEN WE'RE FEELIN' GOOD
WE ALL HAVE BAD TIMES
WHEN WE'RE FEELIN' SAD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Prop Us Up On The Leaning Side - Collaboration by Tony Harris & Glenny G's "One Man Band" - Original

I came across this little improv I did a while back on Pat Howell's beautifully crafted home-built guitar, and had been keeping it in my back pocket for St. Patty's Day.  In this track I riff on some tunes I've played over the last several years but take on a new richness played on his guitar in drop D tuning.  If you're keeping score, the first is "Emerald Isle", the second is "A Splash of Joy" and last is "Celtic D'lite".  Enjoy with your favorite Irish brew:)

"Spring Chicken" (Edit: Mastered with Ozone on September 28, 2023) 

I can't help it, I just have to keep playing these songs. 

We had a minor "setback" with the spring here in the north in that after a good start we've had a kind of cold spell for quite some time (minus degrees at nights, +5 Celsius in the day time). But as of today May 9th 2023 the spring finally is of more permanent nature:)! So in order to properly celebrate the development I tried to make a little song partly in late 70's and early 80s' style. I used Rhodes sound and the Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drummer (the drum beat is mine and some of the fills are from the 70s Drummer) and also some synth sounds that were used in the late 70's (especially the CS-80 sound), and I layered the synth sounds with e.g. the DX7 and MKS-20 soundscapes. The awesome bass is the Scarbee Jay-Bass (late 70's Jazz Bass) software instrument.

The keyboard part consists of a layer of the Scarbee EP-88S (Rhodes), the new Rhodes V8 Pro (Rhodes Mk8) and "The Twenty" from the UVI Key Suite Digital (cf. MKS-20). In addition I used a DX7 lead sound played with Yamaha Montage and also the somewhat newer UVI Six-12 from the "Ob Legacy" software instrument collection ("Ob-12 Brass" sound) and layered them with the lead sound I made with the Arturia CS-80 V. The strings come from the UVI Orchestral Suite.

This track is in a way a humble tribute to the great composer and the best bassist off all times Mr. Jaco Pastorius, who's signature song was the tune "Chicken" by Mr. Pee Wee Ellis.

This track is also a kind of tribute to the wonderful Casio PT-50 which was my first ever keyboard and which I will always remember. The Casio had some lovely demo songs which had "the breeze" in them, meaning e.g. that they felt like the warm summer wind on a beautiful summer day.
