Brilliant retro move from new wave 80s into 60s - I can hear so many influences, certainly a good deal of Bowie and Reed.. Great stuff with the female vocals, soothes the inner ear!

Beautiful nostalgic atmosphere! Attractive harmony! Great job!

Great retro sounding track Declan. Quality vocals too.

This is a real gem. So glad I found it. You captured something so unpretentious and beautiful. thank you for making this.

Love that twangy 60's guitar sound and overall vibe,

Blind Jet

Re Mixed and remastered one of my older songs.

A Song For A Dead Man

this is a demo of a song i wrote for a friend

Understand

Check out my live performance of this song here: https://youtu.be/UrxER-yfKqE

Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
wasn't thunder was a bomb just a bomb there's
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
That wasn't thunder just a bomb just a bomb baby
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun put a smile on your face
I've been alone so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Not gonna stop until we do
Not giving up on the truth
Not gonna give up on you
Not giving up on the truth never give up on you
Original 3/3 chord progression written by Dave Ferrairo
Mike Molino vocals, piano, drums, bass, guitar, synth, lyrics 
Mike: Dave sent me this 3/3 chord progression that he came up with on acoustic guitar. I had it in my playlist for about a year. One day while sitting in my car waiting for my daughter to come out of Lacrosse practice it came on and I started singing "Calling but I'm getting nothing from you". I went home and played it on the piano. Had to add the D G C part at the end of the chorus to fit the vocal melody. And if you want to really get musician nerdy I had to go to the F# a measure early for "I've been alone for so long" for it to land on "long". I didn't want it to stay slow throughout the entire song so I added the 4/4 part after the first chorus "wasn't thunder was a bomb...." and that brought me back to the verse but more up tempo and still 4/4. I had to cut that off to get back to 3/3 chorus so I created "screaming but nobody's home" which allowed me to stop making it easy to pick up with the 3/3 chorus

WE WANT TO FLY 
(c) JunkHeap Jul 21 2022

Thinking about the day 
and feedin' on the summer vibe, 
do you feel it?

Later that night I need some sleepin',
crawl into bed, soft sheets are cheering.
The pillow says hello,
and I fade below.

Someone waves to come along,
through a field, beside a pond.  
It's idyllic. 
Jump up high, and say goodbye
flying up and out of sight.

Hit the clouds.
In the clouds.
and there's the sun.
and the beautiful Earth.
For all it's worth,
in this day and age.
Turn the page
and you see the rage.

it's all sort of malign.
Politicians turn a blind eye.
They don't have the fortitude
to satisfy all our needs.

We want to fly.

Sitting on a beach near Naples;
Standing in Krasna Square;
Meet some people at the Pyramids of Giza;
then hit downtown NYC and see its flair.

Dreaming of a simple bliss, 
where I feel her lovely kiss.
But a dark flows in so slowly,
blots out the light, 
and I feel people want to get away.

We want to fly.

lyrics by IPG1

Chorus
I’m on a mission—— so hold tight and feel the vibe
A new direction——- but still Going to keep it live
And if you’re itching —-to turn up the volume fine
Crank it and listen ——-cause I’m about to blow your mind

Verse1
No mistakes —-never hesitate
No glory—— no prize—— no lives at stake
I’m gonna keep the faith no matter what it takes
and it’s peace over war—— so I stay awake

—-🎵Watch every step I take ——plan every move I make
I was built for love—— and not the hate 🎵
I go hard ——-so why hesitate
this is the winning team ——time to elevate
—-Got The mindset ——let’s negotiate
games Tight—-that’s right ——it’s Make or break
follow me into the light ——time to elevate
another day another night —-nah—-it’s never too late
to create —-understand and fascinate
eat it up ——ask for more ——tasty—— scrape your plate
is gravy to me—— so I’mer keep it straight
everything else ——is a piece of cake

Answer the calls—— from the voices inside of me
follow the signs ——-that lead to my destiny
it might take some time ——for all to see
Fluorescent writing on the wall—-like graffiti
infusing the track with—- positive energy
once of paper——— it’s vocal currency
skill level ——Stone Cold —-A—-prodigy ——-
that’s my legacy——- building a dynasty

Chorus

Never walk the straight narrow —-choose the rules that I obey
forgive and forget (ha—-)that might happen someday
don’t follow the crowd —-and needless to say
I try not to —-let my ego ——get in the way
I’m thankful although—-I don’t kneel and pray
And I’m truly blessed —-y’all know I’m set in my ways
but thank you Lord —-for another blessing today
in the meantime ——-please try to meet me halfway
please try to meet me halfway

Save Your Soul w/Janine Levinson and Phil McWalter

Video for this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggjYx1Xf65w

One of my heroes has always been Johnny Cash and I wanted to include one of his songs on my cover album. I originally was going to record his version of Depeche Mode’s song “Personal Jesus”. After going through the amazing list of over 1500  songs that Johnny Cash wrote I came across this gem that he recorded in 1974. My immediate reaction was “BINGO” -  this is the song that does it for me. He was clearly a man ahead of his time. To date, he has sold over 90 million songs.
RIP Johnny Cash.

ONDE MIGRANTI (Compositore Autore Flavio Pozzaglio)

Se poi si parte una ragione c’è su queste piste di sale,
Serpente scivoli e lasci dietro te impronte di un lento viaggiare
Solo le nuvole porto con me, verso un temporale
L’angoscia resta dentro e non va via, va ben oltre la strada
Prova a immaginare cosa sento in quest’istante
il sapore amaro di chi guarda indietro e vede solo morte
Lo sguardo spento che, cerca del pane ma non c’è
I trafficanti non hanno pietà, ma un solo dio il denaro
Un altro giorno chissà se verrà col il sole domani
Saranno onde fatte di speranze e di sogni sospesi
Saranno mani vuote in cerca di calore che implorano il cielo
Prova a immaginare cosa sento in quest’istante
il sapore amaro di chi guarda avanti e non vede niente
Lo sguardo spento che, nel mio futuro cosa c’è

Bambini giocano con le stelle e fanno grandi sorrisi
Donne nascondono i loro volti dietro abiti neri
Ma se è vero che esiste un dio per tutti gli uomini
Se è vero che ci mette alla prova non lo voglio pregare
Prova a immaginare cosa sento in quest’istante
il sapore amaro di chi guarda indietro e vede solo morte
Lo sguardo spento che, cerca del pane ma non c’è
I trafficanti non hanno pietà, ma un solo dio il denaro
Un altro giorno chissà se verrà col il sole domani
Saranno onde fatte di speranze e di sogni sospesi
Saranno mani vuote in cerca di calore che implorano il cielo
Prova a immaginare cosa sento in quest’istante
il sapore amaro di chi guarda indietro e vede solo ...

ONDE MIGRANTI (MIGRANT WAVES)(Compositore Autore Flavio Pozzaglio)

If you start a reason
there is on these salt slopes,
Snake slides and leave footprints of slow travel behind you
Only the clouds I carry with me, towards a storm
The anguish remains inside and does not go away, it goes far beyond the road
Try to imagine what I feel right now
the bitter taste of those who look back and see only death
The dull gaze that looks for bread but is not there
Traffickers have no mercy, but only one god of money
Who knows if another day will come with the sun tomorrow
They will be waves made of hopes and suspended dreams
They will be empty hands in search of heat that implore the sky
Try to imagine what I feel right now
the bitter taste of those who look ahead and see nothing
The dull gaze that is in my future

Children play with the stars and make big smiles
Women hide their faces behind black clothes
But if it is true that there is a god for all men
If it is true that it tests us, I don't want to pray
Try to imagine what I feel right now
the bitter taste of those who look back and see only death
The dull gaze that looks for bread but is not there
Traffickers have no mercy, but only one god of money
Who knows if another day will come with the sun tomorrow
They will be waves made of hopes and suspended dreams
They will be empty hands in search of heat that implore the sky
Try to imagine what I feel right now
the bitter taste of those who look back and see only ..
