This is my entry for Round 2 of the "Spintunes" contest! The prompt/challenge was to write and record a song that makes prominent and creative use of rhythmic contrast between long and short note values.

LYRICS

The headline in the news today
Says they plan to find a way
To make a dog’s life last a little longer
And Bryan Johnson has a dream
A hundred pills and LEDs
To help his body age a little slower
 
But take it from someone who’s done
The thing you seek to do
The practice is not new

There’s no glory in longevity
There’s no glory in longevity

My name is John, the great magician
Alchemist and mathematician
Spoke to angels in obsidian mirrors
I could plot the stars to glean
The tangled fates of English queens
Cracked the code and learnt to live forever

And though our methods change
The craft remains the same
As I can explain

There’s no magic in longevity
There’s no magic in longevity

Imagine watching everything you love cease to be
While you count the hours in eternity

There’s no comfort in longevity
There’s no comfort in longevity

There is no difference between you and I
Only the knowledge that time can provide

If you like a song...it is a free download. I repost, but only for about 4 days.

Music is the greatest human invention, the only language that speaks to us all. It would be a shame not to share my share. Just for fun, just for mere survival of one man's mind. Thank you for listening!

Wallowing in the warmth of lower mids and melancholic melody.
Recorded, mixed and mastered on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio using vintage gear gathered over many years.


Take a large bucket. Add a pint of Neil Young, a pinch of Glen Hansard. Wack in a tea spoon of Damien Rice, then an ickle bit of Tom Mcrae. Shove in a hand full of Mike Scott, a heaped table spoon of Neil Finn and a large dollop of Conor J. O'Brien. Mix with a big stick then strain through an old sock. Pour. What you have is a little bit of Mr C.

Hello good people of the cloud.
I play everything in real time and record and master on a Tascam DP 32 Portastudio. Although three of the older songs on here where recorded on a 8 track tape recorder through an old seck analogue desk.
No pc's are used or abused in the process of me music making. I love tactile recording. Switches, faders, pots and buttons. Mouses are for computers and eating cheese. No Mac, Daws or Windows, Midi or overused plugins. And no automated mixing, compromise being a large part of my final sound.

Hope you enjoy some of the music that I make, please feel free to share and comment.

I now have another page, link below, of songs recorded from 1999 to 2012 on an 8 track tape machine.

I am amazed at the level of talented artists encountered on this site.  Sharing and providing feedback is such an effective way to nurture the creative process.  I am so inspired by many of you.  My songs consist of mostly live instruments and voice.  An organic approach to song writing with a few surprises in the mix.  Please feel free to comment and download if you like!  Todd
