Collaborations

One might think that at midnight, Scotland's top chef and SC guitarist Ian Tait is done cooking.  But no - a note to me says lets do a late night jam.  So we gather the ingredients - keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and vibes - and get to work.  A little later we have some dessert to share with you - Smooth Move - a simply I-IV jam that modulates a few times.  Hope you enjoy the track - let us know what you think:)))  Thanks as always for listening

Bedtime Blues

Vocals, lyrics, and lead guitar by Ian Tait
Song and all other instruments:  ProgRockDan1 

I can't sleep at night
'Cause nothing feels right
I can't close my eyes
My fears start to rise
Now is it my time to lose
I've got those bedtime blues

The darkness sets in
This loser can't win
The good times have passed
They just didn't last
Now is it my time to lose
I got those bedtime blues

I've paid for my sins
With whisky and gin
I've drunk myself dry
With no reason why
Now is it my time to lose
I've got those bedtime blues

I've got those Bedtime Blues

I was amazed at how quickly Ian Tait took what I gave him and turned out this song.  I sent him the basic blues structures of this song and in 48 hours he had the lyrics, vocals, and guitar all on top of the track.  AMAZING!

I remember hearing this at 8 yrs old..i had the tape!!! i listened to this song on the debut album by Guns n' Roses...i would balst it from a bedroom in a cabin i lived in in the mountains for 2 weeks with a coke dealin' whore when i was a kid and this song would make it go away! i loooved them for it! still do! more than any other song i ever heard from them!

Lyrics:

Been hidin' out and layin' low
It's nothin' new to me
Well you can always find a place to go
If you can keep your sanity

They break down the doors
They rape my rights but
They won't touch me

They scream and yell
And fight all night
You can tell me

I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me

'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
So fuckin' long

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin' innocent
They won't break me

Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're goin'
Sometimes it's harder to leave
And everytime you think you know just what you are doin'
That's when your troubles exceed

They push me in a corner
Just to get me to fight but
They won't touch me

They preach and yell
And fight all night
You can't tell me

I lose my head
I close my eyes
They won't touch me

'Cause I got somethin'
I been buildin' up inside
I'm already gone

They're out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin' innocent
They won't break me

Some people got a chip on their shoulder
An' some would say it was me
But I didn't buy that fifth of whiskey that you gave me
So I'd be quick to disagree

They out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin' innocent
They won't break me

They out ta get me
They won't catch me
I'm fuckin' innocent
So you can suck me
Take that one to heart

Out Ta Get Me ( cover & Collab W/ IAN TAIT!! ....and karl Golden)

Ian contacted me about doing another collaboration.  As I have always liked Ian's music I immediately jumped on the opportunity to collaborate again.  I listened to his music (as I do when I collaborate with someone) and wrote the basics of this song.  Ian provided some great guitar parts and provided the feel of the Showdown at Dawn.  I then added a little guitar melody to top it off.  This is the result.  Perhaps a little too full but it is what it is.  Listen to Ian's music here:  https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait

Showdown At Dawn (with Ian Tait)

Music- Finn Eces  
Doina-All Violins
Finn Eces-Guitars, octave mandolin, tenor banjo and tin whistles
Mixed by Finn & Doina

For all my cancer & chemo comrades in Limerick University Hospital and for Pat.

I started this piece a few years ago, and Doina was kind enough to write some beautiful violin parts for what is quite a simple chord progression really. I didn’t have lyrics and life events overtook writing music. I picked it up recently wanting to mark that life event, and an upcoming crossroad. 

More fantastic work from Doina here https://on.soundcloud.com/nnwFWWwW9ofaPd3z6

Come Sunshine Come Rain

Produccion,bateria y teclados San Kajati(desde Valencia)todo lo demas yo.
Los peores sueños
                 Am-Em-Dm-Am

No voy a ir 
Dónde no puedo 
Por ahí pueden venir 
Los peores sueños 
Pensaba en vos 
Mirando de nuevo 
El juego, el color 
El otro veneno 
Las luces veo al fin 
Alumbran el piso 
Cuando vienen a mí 
Se vuelven pasillos 
Perdido en un laberinto 
Cerca del río 
Me pongo a caminar 
La salida persigo...

LOS PEORES SUEÑOS-Christian

A contemplative descent into a lucid dream state of being — part ambient echoes, part neon lit dance pulse. It builds from subtle piano and synth interplay into a low-burning electronic movement that feels like moving through a memory with a lapse of time. 

Noema is my 49th upload on Soundcloud and one I have really tried to spend the vast amount of work lost in the small details on.  I hope this resonates with everyone and all who have supported and followed me over the years on this journey of music creation. I truly appreciate each and every one of you so much!

Crazy Legs

Tenor sax and piano - 23-6-2025

I read many years ago that some individuals with psychomotor epilepsy could get strong feelings of certainty or truth during seizures, sometimes described as mystical or religious experiences. It was reported that they could be accompanied by feelings of clarity, heightened awareness, and a sense of unity with the world. Tatiana brought to my attention that Dostoievsky went through that kind of experiences and used them in his novel The Idiot. Here I tried to sing the misfortunes of someone going through those altered states of consciousness while eating in a restaurant. 

*** Epilepsia Psicomotora ***

Senti um relâmpago a estoirar no meu cérebro,
e as vagas de infinitos oceanos ergueram-se alterosas,
e desfizeram-se em lágrimas nos meus olhos deslumbrados.
E no clarão perfeito, que logo se extinguiu,
eu vi a razão, o antes, o depois, o círculo eterno.
Por isso agora eu sei, tão certo quanto eu vivo,
que a ele nada se compara, para ele tudo converge,
e nele tudo se resume e se explica:
O bitoque especial da cantina dos trabalhadores do comércio.

I felt a lightning bolt crack in my brain,
and the waves of infinite oceans rose up gigantic,
and broke as tears in my dazzled eyes.
And in the perfect gleam, which soon died away,
I saw the reason, the before, the after, the eternal circle.
So now I know, as sure as I live,
that nothing compares to it, everything converges to it,
and in it everything is summarized and explained:
The special steak from the shopkeepers' canteen.

Anyone who commits a crime must reckon with the punishment, as breaking the law carries consequences – both legal and moral. The penalty not only serves as a form of retribution for the harm done, but also has a deterrent, educational, and corrective function – reminding us that an individual's freedom ends where the harm to another person begins.  ✌️  Każdy, kto popełnia przestępstwo, musi się liczyć z karą, ponieważ złamanie prawa pociąga za sobą konsekwencje – zarówno prawne, jak i moralne. Kara nie tylko stanowi formę odpłaty za wyrządzoną krzywdę, ale również pełni funkcję odstraszającą, wychowawczą i naprawczą – przypominając, że wolność jednostki kończy się tam, gdzie zaczyna się krzywda drugiego człowieka.  ✌️  Todo aquel que comete un delito debe contar con una pena, ya que romper la ley conlleva consecuencias, tanto legales como morales. La pena no solo es una forma de retribución por el daño causado, sino que también cumple una función disuasoria, educativa y reparadora, recordando que la libertad del individuo termina donde comienza el daño a otra persona.

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.

As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.
