Hey! Stay safe out there, and rock on my friends.

This new version is a straight up indie rock arrangement that drummer Stevee and I locked into during formative studio sessions in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. We worked out a tight sound, going back to the basics.

Big thanks to JD Wong for his final mix of the song during his Livestream session from his studio in Kuala Lumpur.

The killer cover art by Pery Ode.

lyrics
高高飛
高高飛 
在 
天空中 
的小鳥 
你往哪兒飛
慢慢游 
在 
大海裡 
的小魚 
你往哪兒游
啊。。。。
你往哪兒飛
匆匆忙忙趴 
在 
高樹上 
小螞蟻 
你別摔倒
啊。。。。
你往哪兒飛
啊

Where you fly (高高飛)

What Is Right？

The Storm

I keep looking back – for that one thing – that used to make me smile – non-existent – if only for a while – I could find that smile again
Keep Pumping through the files in my Vortex – realized that smile – was a reflex – was anything worthwhile - or was my time spent here in vain.
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
When there just aint nobody calling – not listening – nor even paying attention – what’s the fucking point – Why do we hold on
There’s no need to catch me while I’m falling – it’s already written in his story – aint no turning back – I must be moving on……
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning – baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..
Though I’m no longer here babe I see you – I’ve never loved you more so I freed you – I'm right here by your side – You’re going to make it through this storm
Chorus
If you’re looking for me - I’ll be gone and - sorry that I didn’t give good warning but I was in a rush to get out of this place– don’t think ill ever see another morning –  Baby dry your eyes and live on my love I’m gone – you’re gonna make it through this storm……..

The Storm

Questa canzone è dedicata a mio padre Dino Salvatori.

La realtà somiglia ad un fiume che scorre incessante nel mare dei ricordi. In quell'accumulo invisibile che chiamiamo memoria, spesso andiamo in cerca delle nostre cose più care, nell'inane tentativo di non perderle per sempre. È questo il tema di un dialogo immaginario tra due amici che provano a trovare un senso allo scorrere inesorabile del tutto.


Ricordi 

A un tratto sei partito
Dal porto il tuo veliero 
Andava via leggero
E non ti ho più sentito
Ferito ti ho inseguito 
Ma il tuo volto si allontana
Sempre più sbiadito 

Tu lo sai quanto segno 
Hai lasciato tra noi
Che sei stato un gigante
Un condottiero/guerriero
La tua spada era sempre 
E soltanto pensiero 

Amico mio 
La vita scivola
In un rapido istante
Già andato, finito
Se vai nei ricordi
Lo troverai (lo troverai) 

Allora forse
Ho capito dici che
Se la vita è perduta
In un lampo in un minuto 
Ciò che abbiamo vissuto 
Non scompare all'istante 
Come avevo temuto 

Del tempo compianto
Grumi di istanti di vita
Come per incanto
Si addensano in memorie
Più vive delle storie 
Senza alcun rimpianto 

Amico mio 
La vita scivola
In un rapido istante
Già andato, finito
Se vai nei ricordi 
Lo troverai (lo troverai)
E non saremo mai troppo distanti
Se la memoria di una vita 
È un sole che arde dentro di te 

Se vai nei ricordi
Nei ricordi 
Se vai nei ricordi 
Lo troverai

U'r fire is wild

Part of a CD project with Cutts Cook / Ruffcut Studio. Bare bones writing demos were taken into the studio and produced By Karl Cutruff. It was a while ago.. it really was a gift to be able to work with Karl. we were both going through a lot personally at the time. Its a wonder how tracks like this came out of those truly hard times. The record " Always a good Time " was never released... I am thinking about it now... 

The song itself was written during the Bush Bailouts... dastardly deeds by politicians ruining our lives.. still relevant today.

The Dow is sinking..yeah so am I
aint no use for me to sit and cry
Bailin out the big three well thats insanity
give that thirty billion bucks to me
A top executive I may not be..
one step from the skids and poverty
I fire all the fat cats and send em back to school to learn their ABC's

On CNN they got the talking heads
and top advisors from the feds
economic masterminds with empty promises and fat behinds
talkin all slick and scholarly
Now I aint got no college degree
but I attended hard knock university
and if you cant cut the mustard 
its time to call it quits and find a different J.O.B

5 Wrongs dont make a right its pure simplicity
hit the road and dont come back
go find yourself a different J.O.B.

Political solutions they just make me sad
Im sick and tired of being had
uncle sam is dead and seeking retribution but hes haveing trouble gettin through the gates

They say that everyone deserves a second chance
philosophy like that is good and fair
but on that list of SOB's there aint a single first offender there

5 wrongs dont make a right its pure simplicity
hit the road and dont come back go find yourself a different J.O.B.

Always A Good Time

5 Wrongs

Lyrics
Well, your folk rocks
Pristine
Just over the channel
Brightoned two sheen

Salt Fire looped by the hour
Teachers of tuned tone harmonious flower
Guitars for me cornered still
Their voicings will tend to your will
New musical pathways the pill
Everytime, ears getting that fill

Salt Fire go hear their higher
Salt Fire Lo-fi classical attire
Salt Fire Go hear their higher
Acoustic crumbs of grandeur
Harmonies. The biggest aliens have landed...

So come, let's all fly away in a song
We do it cause we are it
This is where we belong
Good tempered bones
Some tension tones
Utopian homes
Fly away in Salt Fire song
Good bye dystopian drones
We're aligned 
Our staves are long

This song is about the artist Salt Fire across the pond in Brighton. Superb music worth a permanent rabbit hole & I think worth more ears...

Ok so track filled. Added Celtic Harp, Classical Guitar and strings via Keyboard 

Theres a nice point here. So I used the phone recording, imported to the daw and it became the base and click track for the song. It's a nice way of locking in your human time but still filling over it and getting a full tune with more instrumentation. For those ideas your not at the studio and plugged up... 

Android I end up with an m4a - convert to wav for free online (usually fixes bitrate issues) - import to daw audio track - turn off tempo and click track - Your jam just became the click track. Playing to this only then allows you to lock into your feel again as opposed to recreating the whole thing to a click track from scratch...



On the human time... I was chatting with my best friend Anto the other day. He's a fabulous photographer. He shoots only film and uses an eye piece view finder still. He says it feels more instinctual to him. I feel similarly recording things on the spot in random places... You're playing to your instincts which can be spiritually way more creative I think then sitting down and doing it by sums. Both have their merits but starting more regularly in the former more natural way may offer more instinctual goodies. The method part of the process can always iron out and perfect the unusual things you find instinctually in hindsight when further along the process and it's all getting stitched.


To give the phone recording sufficient presence I add reverb 80%20%/compressor for acoustic guitar/EQed for Vocal/Light Stereo Spread for LF & HF. Then I double tracked it each panned slightly either side. The difference is actually a pretty cool example of cleaning something up for use. Recording wasn't changed aside from the dynamics

Salt Fire (Session #2)

I wrote and posted a similar song ....
Never mind what they throw at you ......still rising!

URSA MINOR - (instrumental)

Hi! I’m a singer-songwriter. Some friends call me Dirt, some call me the dirtstar. Sometimes it’s Dirt Star. I am always looking out for new music, and creating some playlists featuring artists in SoundCloud. Made a little EP with Steevee Rey, and new songs in Mandarin and English on the way.

Rock and roll. 🤘🏽
