What a fantastic & fun song! Love it!!👍

Wow, how cool! Amazing energy in this track and excellent instrumental skills. And a very cool contrast of the main part to the rather meditative last quarter

Loving the classic fusion feel in this track. Awesome!!!

This is the first song that I have recorded with my HeadRush Looperboard. I layered four separate acoustic guitar parts using a Taylor Koa 214ce. I then added Latin Percussion Conga Drums, Teak Shakers & Meinl Bongos using my old Yamaha MD4s minidisk recorder. Now, I have remixed this track by adding my Slingerland Snare Drum with Wire Brushes and Zildjian Constantinople Cymbals.

Would you travel to space?  Open your mind and let go of your worries.  Our time and imagination is better used fulfilling goals and dreams. " Fly UFO" takes you on a journey back in time and into the future in real time.  Allow yourself the opportunity to take an adventure each day. Brighten your horizon and others.

When I was little like a stowaway in the cargo
Dad drove an old four door to the Badlands on a spring day
I could see far beyond what my imagination could swallow
Digging up fossils and meteors from yesterday
When lucky stars collide
Imagination spinning burning spirit to find
Seek beyond your dreams in a limitless sky
Reconcile difference leave worries behind
No more thorn in your side

Once upon ago, I made up my mind to leave the planet
Blast off, let go, ticket to ride up and away
Fly UFO make sure your belts low and tight prepare for landing
Fly UFO meet intelligent life in outer space
Spaceship on time
Imagination spinning interstellar nose-dive
Astro-enigmatic beings faster than light
Cosmic comet fever consumes me inside
The Constellations say their goodbyes

Let's rock, let's roll 
There are no lines there is no traffic
Mission Control, tech support just in case
Fly UFO your satellite to supernovas
Join me in orbit my love for you will never fade
Look up to the sky
Imagination spinning transcendental surprise
Summer 1968 repeating the times
When the music's over there is nowhere to hide
Dare fight fire with rhymes

Fly UFO catch the red-eye tonight and leave the planet
Shooting like stars across the Milky Way
Fly UFO open your mind and just imagine
We are not alone, we are much the same
Until next time
Imagination spinning up the ladder I climb
Meditate on miracles you witnessed tonight
Destination galaxy ahead on the right
Our thoughts determine our lives

Fly UFO

Lightning on Galatea - a little something on the wild side! High octane prog/fusion instrumental with sizzling horns, keys/piano pyrotechnics, rip roaring sax leads, a positive blast of fine power drumming (and more!). Embracing something of the sound world of classic outfits such as Yes, Focus, Sky, Steely Dan and the like but at the same time distinctively original. Dave on keys, an assemblage of other fine international musicians in the mix and some dynamic mastering down at Abbey Road Studios (Simon Gibson). Surefire muso therapy for all who have a taste for old school instrumental high jinks.

FLYING TURTLE

When Tom approached me with this piano melody, the initial arrangement and the title to which he hoped I’d add lyrics and vocals, I thought it was almost unnecessary as the piece already said everything required. Shortly afterwards, Jussi had added sublime guitar which offered a hopeful balance in the mood. Knowing what Tom was referring to without discussing it openly I wrote these words from a similar position of experience. I contrasted the first verse of a woman at her peak with the second verse of a woman in decline to heighten the emotion. I found that the spoken word approach allowed more emotion to flow from both the music and the words. Tom had the great idea to ask Hidefumi to complete the song with a phenomenal solo. Thank you to everyone who helped make this come together, and a very special thanks to all of you for listening.

She knows just what it feels like now.
I think she’s losing it, I think she’s losing it. 
When she is almost ready, 
She will lose her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Then she’ll lose herself in herself and then she’ll be free,
To be what she wants, what she wants to be.

She knows not who she feels like now.
I know she’s losing it, I know she’s losing it. 
As if she's gone already, 
She has lost her reserve 
And her inhibition too.
Already lost herself in herself and now she’s elsewhere,
Knows not what she wants, nor who she used to be.

What happens when the German-Canadian music duo MOON AND ARIES meet a female Swiss saxophonist? Exactly: a new, romantic, sexy R&B, neo-soul, soul, smooth jazz song by MOON AND ARIES - this time again supported by the live saxophone playing of the wonderful "Joko Magic" (Hanna M.). 

Moon and Aries about their new song: 
“After we romanced our demons for the last time, it's time to romance the ones that matter most. Revive the dormancy of our deepest desires and rebirth them to allow our passion to burn like wildfire from all corners of the Earth. By the way:  if you take the “H” at the end of EARTH and put it at the front, you get HEART.
The heart is the center of it all. Heal your heart, heal your life! As Moon and Aries, we lead with our hearts, and when they are filled to the brim like a warm cup of coffee - anything is possible!”

Sad Punk and his dog on the moon of Saturn

Sometimes we lose those we've loved the most. As I write this (in October/November 2023) it's beyond painful to witness the scenes of grief and loss countless others are experiencing in our world in wars, seemingly, without end - where the powerless always suffer the most. It makes any attempt to give voice to one's own personalised sense of loss seem self indulgent. But in the hope that one grief observed, though only a drop in an ocean, can add something to the pool of human sympathy at a time when it's so sorely needed - a song of farewell:

"And so the final scene
Where fancies all are slowly stripped away
Who knows what might have been
Had fate been kinder to our dreams
But no regrets - our hearts were true
And in the end it's all that matters
Old friend adieu - I'll wait for you
Somewhere beyond the blue" 

With many thanks to:

And not least, a little inspiration from J S Bach (BWV 998) -  a never ending font of inspiration, is old Bach. Vielen Dank JSB

Ran to the mountain top but still not high or far enough away 
I still could hear them call my name 
Chocking on soda pop it fizzled to my tired and worried brain 
For a moment I forgot their pain 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
My girl is beautiful sharp mind hot body personality 
She brings to life my wildest dreams 
My mind is hijacked thinking real is fake 
now true and fantasy is on a collision course full steam 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, Waving to each other from across the cell 
deja vu  I lose my mind just thinking bout you
But then it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here 
Oh yeah 
Believe in me like I believe in you 
She has a softer side when showcased on the full sized movie screen
But when the lights go down oh no
From far away the hurricane looks like a pillow in the blue 
The silver lining hides the truth 
Love, Used to hold each other when the day was done
Love, Now we duck and cover cause we can’t outrun 
Love, Acting like a stranger but I know you well
Love, waving to each other from across the cell
I used to get real scared just thinking bout it WWIII 
now psychopathic thugs have got nothing on me
But still it’s 
Holy smokes when you come around here

come around here

Sometimes introspective; always driven by a wider social conscience and a sense of human fragility. Touching on topics that tear at the heart of the human condition (loneliness, love and loss, homelessness/poverty, social exclusion).  And, there again, what’s a songsmith if not a conjurer of dreams? Dreams to lift us, if but for a moment, above the dull vicissitudes of life. Dreams of a world reimagined, that brave souls will always aspire to whatever the cost (Martin Luther King Jr...). A glimmer of unfeigned empathy. A glimpse of sunshine after rain. Music offered as a little healing for troubled times; a solace for the soul; a little heartfelt scattering of dreams - tread softly! 'Our life is no dream; but it ought to become one, and perhaps will' (Novalis)
