Perfectly spoooooky!  Great performances and yelling!

@drew-ford-1: thanks for picking up on that Drew, i had this idea of interweaving two vocals but when listening to the two on top of each other it gave a ethereal effect that seemed to work for the song

Really like the darkness of this. I like your vocals. Nicely done !

Ever wondered what a zillion guitar tracks can sound like. I went into harmony overdrive on this track, because..well, I could...and it was fun...and gave the new Ebow a workout. 6/8 being my fave time sig. The original intention was to record a simple appalachian folk dance...it kind of got out of control. Somehow it came out quite uplifting...odd for me.
At one point this had 100 guitar tracks...it has been pruned back in the editing process. lots more editing to do...but Ill get to that tomorrow.
Vocals will go on next week.
PLAY LOUD!

Underdogs Appalachian Square Dance/ Demo - No vox

The Taste Of The NIght

Union Carbide

This one was born from a drum track by https://soundcloud.com/midipunk called "mountains of dishes and laundry"; I used them completely unedited, creating the song to follow the arrangement and dynamics that were implied as Pete had recorded his thing.

The song is about reincarnation and a Humpback whale. It has themes about cars, shoes (and walking a mile in another's before judgement) human bodies as nested personalities/egos all mixed together. Understanding the layers of people's personalities and the essence (greater than sum of parts) beneath. I think I'm getting at… narcissim as a personality disorder being an inversion of this energy - where too much of the soul's potential is used to hide from fear instead of being open to love.

The other similar thing it does is help people understand the role of drums as music rather than just keeping time - this whole song grew out of the drums as a starting point - but without any knowledge of the musician who played them.

So when asking "are drums music?" - or "is music greater than the sum of its parts?" - I think this goes to show that if it's not destiny or fate or any other predetermined thing - it must be 'something' other than drums or time keeping or or or or etc - love?

(also I know the whale in the picture isn't a Humpback but the whale song in the music is)
Lyrics

I chain my orphan boots in a shoelace train
I say, stick together, it's whale meet again

When the wheels stopped spinning,
yellow vest man, waved us barefoot,
home before daylight.

It's like a transformer but human,
driving their cars is just like humans.
Like human, when super,
much less blood, far more humour.

Going home.
Humour, humour - going home
Keep calling it humour - going home
I lost my shoe - going home - lost another shoe

Mile by mile,
in the shoelace chain of cars of ours,
for hours and hours
Passing signs,
with rear-view eyes so fine on mine
the hundredth time

It's the hundredth time I've fallen in love
with the girl in front of me.
(oh, hello)

Like a transformer but a human
with the top down, driving her car with the top down
and I'm looking through her eyes through the rear-view mirror or her rear-view mirror

(and working that out goes something like this…)
[It's hard to tell how many cars are inside cars, are inside cars, inside cars but sometimes they have the top down
a roof - the roofs]

Like a transformer - tired of all the other ways
but a human - tired of all the other ways
driving their cars - tired of all the other ways
Just like humans.
Like a human but a transformer
with the top down, driving her car with the top down.

Sally was a traffic whale
she used to save time on the radio
tried to save lives on the radio
but you had to tune in on the radio
when you hear about the end on the radio
there's only Sally crying on this radio show

Don't cry, I know we're only human
but we've got to get home
past Sally's oversized load

beep beep, beep beep - yeah (no, no)
beep beep, beep beep - yeah (no, no, no)
beep beep, beep beep - yeah (no, no, no)
beep beep, beep beep - yeah (no, no, no)

It was gonna be like this
Always gonna be like this

I followed her BLOODY tears,
down from the BLOODY road.
I held her un BLINKIN' stare.
I couldn't let her go
I know you can hear me (she said)
I saved you! and you're free
And love will not break your heart...
...get over your humpback and see (paraphrasing mumford)

Was she looking through a rear-view mirror?!
were you driving a mile in another's whale shoe?!

Were you looking through a rear-view mirror?!
looking through a rear-view mirror at YOU?!

Sally's whale shoes.

Lyrics: 
I would walk with you
Through a land of indigo laces
You'd hold my hand 
We'd set sail for the moon
I would comfort you 
In the cold light of the stars 
And when the world around us isn't enough
The universe would give us space for our love...
I would wait for you 
Suspended in the darkness
A merry-go-round of planets 
Passing us by
Drifting dust of stars
Perfect work of art
And when the world around us isn't enough
The universe would give us space for our love...
I would tie a ribbon around 
Earth before we leave
Put it on a shelf because
"Together's" all we need...
Tied to you with kite strings 
Let the wind take us away
Children of the sun
Reaching for the stars
And after space and time
Would you still be mine?
If the world around us isn't enough
the universe would give us space for our love...

<3

Grave Digger - Demo

 A blend of dark brooding and at times menacing Americana. Roots, Blues,Country and Rock yet somehow not quite fitting neatly into any specific genre. Hopefully and most importantly unique but somehow familiar.
