Daniel McBride

Its no time its no year
Well I'm flying when the coasts looking clearer
I feel fine give a cheer
Hell I'm crying don't judge a book by appearance

In the past in the light
It fades fast well thank God I'm a fighter
Called to task scared of heights
So I'll bask in the heart of the sunlight

CHORUS
When you say the slightest word I'll come running
I only need a single word not two
The dreams are good the prospects sure are stunning
I think I get carried away

Its no time its a fact
I'm no Einstein indeed I'm mentally cracking
I'm fine but lets chat
And I pine when my batteries are failing

CHORUS

Carried Away

I've been very busy lately with work and life in general. One night a few weeks ago I was playing around with my rhythm tone and came up with this one. After a few days of drums, leads and fine tuning the rhythm tracks; this was the end result :) 

All parts written, performed, recorded, arranged by Daniel McBride

The Red Candle

This is your inheritance. 
The burnt grass is fragrant.
You wear the scent of seared earth,
My little innocents.
Trees brittle, unbreathing
The walking warped abandoned spirit
Bereft, they bring on a winter
we won't recognise..

And something inward screams;
a punch right in to the heart
A deep genetic memory;
a punch right in to the gut...

Apples rot at your feet
The impoverished spirit robs yours blind
The assault the spirit has sustained:
How vast the blindness can be.
Don't let these years eat you alive,
eyes blackened and wide...
All sacred trampled underfoot:
Let the fever do all the killing..

(chorus) 

I'll not partake of this new weather;
Won't pay my way in to this fear theatre.. 
What weird worship - twisted invocation -
Destruction is built in. 
Heirs to a kingdom in ruin, 
I bend to kiss your crowns. 
Heirs to a crumbling throne, 
I kiss your crowns... 

(chorus) 

Here the sun pours a torture,. 
And there it pours a balm. 
I hear a muttered curse and then.. 
And then I hear a psalm... 
What weird worship -
twisted invocation - 
Destruction is built in. 
I'll not partake of this new weather:
I will not pay my way in. 


HEIRS

Another one that came together fairly quick. Experimenting more on the mix and panning. Getting there but learn new techniques every time. 

So far the feedback has been really good on this one. Funny because its not really over the top flashy guitar playing! 

All parts writing, arranged, performed, programmed, recorded and mixed by me.

Reduce to Ashes

Experimenting more on the mix and panning. This one is Tuned a whole step down to D. There is very little gain for the guitars. Focus was working with EQ's to drive the overall sound. 

One of my favorite songs so far.

Decimation

Stalking the Prey

No survivors

The Lions Roar

hallucinations (instrumental)

Senseless indiscriminate killing of civilians...Israel and Gaza 2023. Ukraine 2022. Sickening atrocities in Myanmar 2021. I wrote this song after Tianamen square 1989.  The dates change but we never change do we? Remembering all those who have suffered, or are suffering

=========
Written London 1989


In cold blood

Its hard to understand
Its harder to believe
The blood is on their hands
Its in the air we breathe
Among the bicycles
Lying twisted there
The tangled bodies
Left strewn across the square

Running with the face of fear
In cold blood
Our sons and our daughters
Cut down and taken from us
In cold blood
Can noone stop the slaughter?
For the love of god
They're killing them all
In cold blood

There was no warning
No mercy, no forgiveness
Just grey of morning 
And blood turned into mist
The rain will come again
And wash the stains away
It cannot heal the pain
Or wipe the memory

Running with the face of fear
In cold blood
Our sons and our daughters
Cut down and taken from us
In cold blood
Can noone stop the slaughter?
For the love of god
They're killing them all
In cold blood

In cold blood

Note: I have changed the original version and expanded it with a whole new section and some elements like additional choirs, timpanis somber and cavernous strings. I tweaked the volume as well and renamed the song from ,,Ancient Guardian" into ,,The ancient Guardian and the sacred Path to the inner Sanctum" (Update to  Ancient Guardian 2.0 on February 14th 2021).

Music Session Vol. 26

The ancient Guardian and the sacred Path to the inner Sanctum (Ancient Guardian)

This is a Raw Demo recording on 9/29/2019 via IKMultiMedia and EZDrummer used to record the sound in my space.  There is no mixing, retakes and obvious playing mistakes within the recording. The Song will be eventually be re-recorded via IK Multimedia, Peavey Revalver using Reaper to record. There is also the possibility to even redo this with traditional guitar effect racks from the 80's & 90's with amp heads and cabs. \m/

Reflection From A Mirror-WIP

Für Dich.......




Lyrics: Just like that


Just like that, I'll give you

A kiss in front of my door

Just like that, I have

Palpitations because of you

Just like that

Because of you

 

Every moment with you

Every moment with me

Just like that, with you

That's the way it is

So much more

Just like that

Is just so much more

 

If you think it’s hard for you

If you think it won't work anymore

Been so empty for far too long

And it doesn't work anymore

 

Then I'll give you a quick gift

My love, my heart

 

Just like that, for you

Just like that, for you

Just like that

Is so easy with you

Just like that

Just go with you

 

Just like that with you

Just like that with you

Just like that

Is just so much more



Nur mal eben so

The Dark Pyramid

Open Source Drumming (OSD):
(for further details, check my Bio)

Emptiness:
A 90 bpm groove that express a feeling that sometimes invades us....idea is that someone rescue us :) 

As usual, try to hear with head/ear-phones (effects will be much more appreciated), and all is being played in one shoot (no sequences, no multi tracks, all played in real time --> it means i can play in live situations in real time).

Hope you enjoy it, and looking forward to have your musical ideas using this drum song and others (my email: gserranodg@hotmail.com)
