This isn't actually a blues song, but the title seems to fit anyway.

Here are the lyrics:

I don't like it, don't like it hanging out in front
I gotta say it's givin' me the shits, pardon me for being so blunt
It wasn't there a while ago, don't know from where it came
But I don't like it so very bad I can hardly say its name

Don't want it don't want it and it's clear I'm not alone
I see some folks who've had it since before they were even grown
They seem to get on with their lives and I guess they seem ok
But I don't like and don't want it - that's all I've got to say

I never look down 'cuz
It's hard to miss
I can't believe
That it's come to this
It came on slow
So I didn't know
It was happening to me
Until one day in a mirror I saw what everybody else could see

I've been alive a lot more years that I've got years left to live
I've been doing pretty good with learning to forgive
Myself for things I did or didn't do and places I've never been
But I'm finding it hard to forget that I was once young, fit and thin

For me it's front and centre, for some its back and low
And others carry it anywhere, everywhere they go
But they tell me that this belly fat is no good for my heart
Since I want to live a few more years I guess I'd better start
Some sort of exercise and diet - It seems a cruel plot
But as card carrying human being I suppose that that's my lot

I never look down 'cuz
It's hard to miss
I can't believe
That it's come to this
It came on slow
So I didn't know
That I was not immune
Maybe now that's just who I am and hence this tragic tune

All my drums backing tracks generally have 2 bars of count in plus one or more of intro. So, you have plenty of time to get ready.

These are not your usual drums backing tracks with endless copy-and-paste repetitions, regular patterns, steady rhythm, etc. I try to provide something different, more dynamic, varied and interesting, less boring and study-focussed, and more jam-orientated, to give the feel of a real drums support to your jams (regardless of the instruments you play or if you sing). Irregularities, swing, sudden changes, perhaps even a few glitches here and there, a flow, a unique sonic journey, not just a glorified metronome. Some may like it, some may not.

Welcome to #6 in the music series "Of Fire and Ice" - Music of Norse Mythology. What did the Gods hear during their adventures? Listen to the distinct sounds of pagan frame drums and soaring targelharpa ‘fiddles’, flutes and the harp-like lyre. All this blends with orchestral instrumentation, sounds of nature and the soaring sounds of trumpet of James Hill's trumpet.

In the Norse myth "Binding of Fenrir," the gods grow fearful of the wolf Fenrir, a monstrous son of Loki. To prevent him from causing destruction, they trick Fenrir into being bound by an unbreakable magical chain called Gleipnir. Fenrir, suspicious, agrees to be bound only if one god places a hand in his mouth as a pledge. Tyr bravely volunteers, and when Fenrir cannot break free, he bites off Tyr’s hand. Fenrir remains bound until Ragnarok, when he will break free and play a key role in the world's end.

This music is adapted from a soundtrack I did for OttawaStoryTellers.ca   Many thanks to them for the inspiration.

Ask the Wild Bee

A life is built in the unseen:
the slow weave of hours into moments,
moments into permanence,
a permanence that does not speak,
but lingers.

We do not own the threads of time;
we borrow them.
Each touch, each word,
is a knot in the fabric we leave:
a shared seat at a table worn smooth,
a window opened just before the rain.

It is not stone that holds memory,
but the way light bends in a room
long after the voices have faded.
A gesture offered freely—
a glance that waits—
these build the quiet architecture of trust.

What endures is not what is taken,
but what is held for others:
a stillness shared
in the face of loss,
a kindness given without witness.

We do not carry ourselves forward;
we carry the traces of those we’ve steadied,
the ones who’ve steadied us.
This is the measure of a life:
not in the height of its climb,
but in the depth of its care.

Let what we leave behind be enough—
not carved in walls,
but planted in others:
a field that grows beyond our sight,
a warmth that persists
in the rhythm of quiet things.

The mornings are the strongest threads,
not for what they declare,
but for what they ask:
that we meet the day with intention,
fold the hours into meaning,
offer our hands
to build what cannot be held alone.

A life is not what it holds,
but what it releases:
a voice lifted in a quiet room,
a light passed from hand to hand.
When we are gone,
let it be the ground we prepared
that remains,
the roots we tended,
the air made lighter
by our passing.

It Snowed All Night

Indie music maker, available for sound design & music for media.

I grew up with music & technology, and I love them both.
I love many genres but rock and electronic music have a special place in my heart.

Why the name Dark Side of Synth? Because it’s cool and it sums up my fascination with the dark side and with synthesizers. Dark side not just as negative but also as obscure, unknown, unexplored...

Don’t worry, you won’t be finding only darksynth, heavy, scary and sad tunes and tones here but quite a wide range and lots of happy, upbeat things too. Again, it is just a name – not a mission statement set in stone forever.
