That's some very good beautiful song I like it thank you ^^

Really cool song, David. Impossible to stop tapping my foot on the floor. 😀👍

A polished and expressive track that delivers both style and substance. The flow feels natural and every section adds something meaningful. This earns a solid 9 out of 10.

enjoying this one David...great song man...well done.

MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA
Music by Overdrive and Stargoon

The song Make Friends With Gorilla is the result of a team effort and was composed in collaboration with the amazing band Stargoon. 

The initial idea was to produce the electro background for one of Stargoon's songs. It was then that the composer Shayne O'Neill introduced me to the demo of "Make Friends With Gorilla". The song was great and I spent a lot of time creating different electro versions, experimenting with beats and bass lines, but none of them sounded really interesting. I came to the inevitable conclusion that any change too abruptly would take away from the beauty of the original track, and perhaps the best solution was a remix. This way the original track could be released intact and still get a remix.

"Just do whatever you think works best," was Shayne's response. Man, you don't say that to someone who is desperate (lol). After that I completely abandoned the electronic versions and went for a mix of punk rock (!), anime music (!!) and orchestra (!!!)

This remix was by far one of the biggest challenges I've had to date, because it forced me to experiment with a crossover of styles outside the electro bubble.

I hope you enjoy the result.

Stargoon is the fantastic musical project created by the duo Shayne O'Neill and Ceridwyn "Sunny" Roberts-Floyd. The band has post-prog pop influences and was once defined as Hawkwind meets Devo. In my opinion, Stargoon's sound is completely original, a rare gem. I am an outspoken fan of the duo's work.

Their excellent debut album, The Gift, is well worth checking out:

I also recommend a visit to the SC profile of Shayne O'Neill, composer, musician and UFO pilot. His musical genius is indisputable:

The radio intro is an excerpt from the movie King Kong Vs Godzilla (1962). This exact part is available on YouTube:

Lyrics
MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA

Make friends with make friends with her, they said
Make friends with the piece they said
He doesn't intend to smash Tokyo.
He just wants to find love.
He just wants to find love.
This city takes everything we love.
This city is falling

Make peace with the gorilla man
Make peace with make peace with the gorilla man
He doesn't want to break with his hands
He just wants to go home
He just wants to go home
This city has ruined all the things that bring joy
This city must be destroyed

Make friends with make friends with make friends with the lizard king
Make peace with make peace with the lizard king
He doesn't want to crush Tokyo
He just wants happy times
He just wants happy times
This city has taken all the good times
This city is leaving

Dragged Down

Never Odd or Even is an uplifting New Age inspired piece consisting of piano, guitar, bass and clarinet.  It's foundation is a finger-picked classical guitar accompanied by a plucked upright bass.  The piano and clarinet add to the richness and melodic aspects of the composition.

Never Odd Or Even

Mid-Century Modern

Captivation

“Theater of War” is a scream from the inside: a raw, distorted anthem about internal chaos, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet violence of modern life.

It’s about the pressure to shut up, smile, and fall in line. The kind of burnout that doesn’t come from working hard but from pretending you’re fine when you’re not. We wrote it for the people who are still thinking, still feeling, still resisting in a world that rewards obedience over authenticity.
