I'm developing a new style of music (folk swing) with no rules on how to dance it. The wilder the better though. I'm doing it as a stress relief to help people unwind. Plenty of room for new moves here.

LEAP FROG IS A SONG ABOUT FROGS LEAPING! LEAPING TO WHERE? I'M SURE 'THEY' KNOW.

Original live acoustic -one take, recorded in 2006. Original acoustic version of my latest new single "It's My Life".

IT'S MY LIFE (acoustic version)

HERO

When the house fell asleep there was always a light
And it fell from the page to the eyes of an American boy 

In a storybook land I could dream what I read
When it went to my head I'd see
I wanna be a hero
But the practical side said the question was still
"When you grow up what will you be?"
I wanna be a hero

Hero
It's a nice-boy notion that the real world's gonna destroy
You know
It's a Marvel comicbook Saturday matinee fairytale, boy 

Growing older you'll find that illusions are bought
And the idol you thought you'd be was just another zero
I wanna be a hero 

Heroes died when the squealers bought 'em off
Died when the dealers got 'em off
Welcome to the "in it for the money as an idol" show
When they ain't as big as life
When they ditch their second wife
Where's the boy to go?
Gotta be a hero

When the house fell asleep
From a book I was led to a Light that I never knew
I wanna be your hero
And He spoke to my heart from the moment I prayed
Here's a pattern I made for you
I wanna be your hero

Hero (for JR, with thanks) - Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil

Blood In The Cut

SHE CONFIDENTIAL- MariSela MuSik
WORDS &amp; MUSIC: MARISELA DIAZ


HER NAME IS LIKE A CALL OF HEAVEN
SHE'S LIKE AN ANGEL WITH THAT LOOK IN HER EYES
HER HANDS ARE WHITE AND SOFT LIKE FEATHERS
HER VOICE HAS WHISPERED THE MOST SWEET LULLABIES 

CHORUS:
AND WE GO AWAY 
ON A MAGIC RIDE
EVERY SINGLE DAY
WE TURN THE HANDS OF TIME
RUNAWAY ANGELS 
FALLING FROM THE SKY
I WILL KEEP YOUR WINGS
AND YOU WILL KEEP MY HEART

UNDER THE MOONLIGHT CONFIDENTIAL 
TWO ANGELS FELL IN PURE AFFECTION 
IN LOVE...

SHE'S LIKE AN UNDERCOVER PRINCESS
I'VE SEEN HER CASTLE IN MY DREAMS 
SHE LOVES TO DANCE THE MIDNIGHT DANCES
SHE TAKES MY HANDS AND THEN 
WE FLY AWAY FROM HERE

REPEAT CHORUS.

UNDER THE MOONLIGHT CONFIDENTIAL
TWO ANGELS FELL IN PURE AFFECTION
IN LOVE...

Okay, so you wish things were better, but you know they will be.  Just put on some FolkSwing and feel better.

FOLKSWING in one word is "OPTIMISTIC", "HAPPY" and "FUN". Okay that's 3, so read them one at a time. Essentially, It's POSITIVE minded music when you're DOWN or FEELING SICK. FolkSwing is a PICK-ME-UP  if you've had a bad day or need to be cheered up for your reason. I like to kind of think that FolkSwing has a certain naive charm about it. I don't know where that comes from though.
==============================================================

ABOUT: 

Folkswing is loosely blues based happy cheery optimistic music during tough times.  Play it before that job interview, or when they threaten to forclose on your house with your knowing  that things will eventually get better.

FolkSwing is what it is and it's not trying to be anything else.  Some people like it and they say so, some people aren't sure and they say so, and the people that hate it are kind enough to ignore it. 
===========================================


=============================

YOU KNOW YOU'RE A FOLKSWING FAN IF: You can't spell, You're terrible with directions, You love to laugh at yourself,  You don't take unimportant things too seriously, you appreciate tongue and cheek tactics, you think remote control helicopters are cool, you realize that bunnies are smart and should not be eaten, you appreciate loyalty, you aren't afraid of what other's think especially when you're doing what's right, you think dogs are better than cats, you aren't afraid of optimism, you like sunny days, you try not to step on snails, you secretly make cute animals talk, you get angry at people who don't get how cool it is to make cute animals talk,  you like tradition especially when it matters, you know Granddad's rule,  You love anything about pirates, you think mean people suck, you love Pink Floyd and last -you don't mind failing at things you love because you know that's not really failing. If you don't fit into some of these categories, but still like F/S then consider yourself an honorary member. 
============================================================================================================

FolkSwing is a relatively innovative style of music during a time when music is just getting ready to innovate. Sound Cloud has done nothing but help this and for that they should be tremendously thanked as I'm sure you would agree.



FOR THOSE WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT FOLKSWING'S MUSICAL STRUCTURE:   

FOLKSWING IS COMPOSED OF 1 GUITAR, 1 MELODICA (TYPICALLY), AND ONE SNARE DRUM (USUALLY). THE GUITAR PLAYS THE TYPICAL 1, 4, 5 (BLUES) CHORD STRUCTURE WHILE THE MELODICA PLAYS NON BLUES BASED MAJOR SCALES.  THESE TWO ELEMENTS KEEP IT GROUNDED BY BLUES WITH MORE DIVERSITY BECAUSE OF THE MAJOR SCALES.  ALSO THE BPM IS ALWAYS 145, EVEN THE SONGS THAT SEEM SLOWER. THE POSSIBILITIES FOR FOLK SWING ARE WIDE BECAUSE THE GUITAR PARTS ARE BASIC, IT HAS NO BASS (AT LEAST NOT AT THIS POINT) AND THE DRUM PATTERN IS EXTREMELY SIMPLE.  FOR THIS REASON AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SIMPLE CHORD STRUCTURE, OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND PERCUSSION CAN BE ADDED IN WAYS THAT CAN ONLY IMPROVE IT.
================================================

ABOUT ME:

(GOD WHO CARES! ) I certainly don't which is why I put this last... but hey, for all my fellow-too-much-free-timers:

I have been writing songs for way too long. I can write lyrics, and play almost any instrument except horns and drums.  (LIKE WE CARE).  I can create music with so much musicality it's ridiculous, and I did for quite a while. Then I just got tired of it and decided that less is often more. Thus FolkSwing is one attempt at seeing how much substance I can get out of music that only uses two instruments (and a kit drum to unite them.)  

Before I became a huge fan of the melodica, I played harmonium for quite a while. I always loved the deep sustained sound it could produce, giving substance and texture behind the other instruments. I like melodica so much now though, because it's light, compact, and offers me more flexibility.

I was raised in a very conservative family that also emphasized art and creativity (there's about 5 or so of them in all history) which was the perfect environment to stay grounded and expressive, both at the same time. For this reason I most definitively am who I am. 

Although FolkSwing in it's native state is entirely instrumental, there's usually a story behind what I write and it will show in the title. Kung Fu Monkeys Fighting Bullies for example is about friends who help out the underdog and beat up the bully.  Fishing Every Morning with Grandad is about, tradition, nostalgia and so many other things that I could spend hours writing about them.  I Miss the Days, is about great times with people I love, overcomming personal demons and letting go.   

Thanks for taking the time  to read this pointless biography and enjoy life to it's fullest.

You're always welcome in the FolkSwing with Bing. So cheer up!


THANKS FOR CHECKING US OUT!
