Hey… so what are Vintage Bone: B-Sides? They are older songs and little ditties that got lost in my growing pile of recordings. This winter, I have been going through my catalog, pulling out a couple songs, here and there, and creating a new pile called Vintage Bone. Most needed some remixing and production adjustments. Some are first take versions of songs I like to re-record often. Ever notice that sometimes first versions seem to be the best, even if a redo is compositionally better? With this song, ‘There You Are’ from 2015, I noticed the vocals were ruined by plosives, hissing and distortion. (Nope, I do not have a pop filter -yet-. Haha.) There was way too much compression and reverb, and I overdid the EQ… all of which seemed to dull the song's natural character, so I made some adjustments and rerecorded the guitar solos. Sure, it’s just GarageBand, so please, cut me some slack. Thanks. Yes, sometimes I’d rather live in my dreams, with all my favorite ice creams. Most of us spend a third of our lives sleeping and dreaming. I dream like an old dog now. The symbolism and metaphors are wildly revealing. The vast dream world, of the places I go, and people I meet, is filled with extraordinary things. Sometimes there are dangerous situations filled with scary moments. I can fly, sometimes I encounter supernatural beings, but often I have recurring dreams where the places and people are familiar to me. Once in April, I dreamt about a mentor I had as a kid, who died. I woke up crying. I did not know he had passed, and thought he was still alive so I sent him a letter. Months passed, and I forgot about it. Then I received a letter from his wife. She was gracious and said she received my letter in the same month that her husband, my mentor, had passed away years ago. She said April’s were always difficult for her, and the letter was a godsend. In the letter, I had mentioned to my mentor how thankful I was that he was a part of my life as a kid. A bright spot as it were. She said no one ever mentioned that to him before, and thanked me many times. It was that dream that convinced me to pay attention to dreams. I have written over a hundred pages of dream experiences, and hopefully one day before I go, hee-hee…. I will write a book about those dreams. But for now, I have some snow shoveling to do. Hope you’re all well. Thanks for dropping by, m

Vintage Bone: B-Sides... There You Are

Delighted to present my latest collaboration with The Phaige, one half of Soundcloud stalwarts One and Other, alongside Jaime J Ross. This is a trippy, exotic backcloth with a cold North wind blowing through. 
Gary once again amazed with his creativity and his multi-layered production. He has such a keen ear for detail and brushstrokes to enhance and improve. What grabbed me from the outset was the slinky, fluid bass playing, but there are many levels across the frequencies to hook you in. Always a fun process to work with him.

All instruments , artwork and production: ThePhaige
Vocals and lyrics: Nick

Come with me with tales of magic, mountain spirits, hail and snow from your motherland.
Tell me secrets never told of winters bleak and hardship in the biting winter cold - aah

Take me to hidden places where food and love and family keep you warm
I’ll ride with you on Northern winds through deepest valleys and the blackest storms

I’ll sing with you while we are drunk with laughter in our eyes
I’ll listen to your strange new words of love from the North

Fly me faster through the stars to universes only we will ever know
Keep me close and make sweet memories for now and evermore

From North - The Phaige with Nicholas Ridiculous (lyrics in description)

Thanks to everyone

It's gonna be OK
A new dawn shows a new path ahead.
Love to all

Becalm new dawn (Conover/Camberelli/Welin)

Here  I stand in the supermarket 
And I wonder what I should do. 
What did she told me not to forget ? 
Do you often have this feeling too ? 

Where for hell did I put my keys? 
Has this table always been there? 
Holly fuck just hurt my knee !
She must have moved the room that’s not fair 

They told me ‘bout some curious troubles
I really need her to be my crutch 
I don’t understand much 
Only It is unstoppable

Yelling at her to deny 
‘cause things I’m fighting on right now
Even if I take a hard try  
Always turn bad bad bad 

They told me ‘bout some curious troubles
And I really need her to be my crutch 
I don’t understand much 
Only it is invisible

My love my baby my darling my honey 
she’s perfect
she’s mine,  I’m hers forever my baby my love
She looks great 

I ‘m loosing her
In the invincible web
Which’s growing up
In my head

I’m loosing her, yeah loosing her in my head 

Have I told you ‘bout my youth? 
Did you know I was a / Shut your mouth  !
You don’t know!

Please look at me!  I’m here
No I’m Not stupid 
It’s just that My brain is just overrun by,.. come on ! Look at me! 

Where am I exactly ? 
This woman who is she  ?
I’m loosing me

They told me ‘bout some curious  troubles					
I really need her to be my crutch 
They didn’t tell me how much 
I ‘ll feel invisible


My love my baby my darling my honey 
she’s perfect
she’s mine,  I’m hers 
forever  my love 
She ’s so  great 

But I ‘m loosing her
In this invincible web
Which is  growing up in my head 

My head my head my sick head my brain my sick brain 

Unstoppable invisible invincible unstoppable web

 my brain my brain my head  my brain 
my SICK Brain ! 


Ok Maybe I pin my memories on others souvenirs
And then what’s the problem tell me? 
I am loosing me 
Need something to hang on 
So please shut up and move on 
Yeah move on 

Move on 
Move on 
Unstoppable invincible move on 
I told you
No I’m not stupid,
you got in front of you exactly the same guy that you had before; 
I’m the same man! 
I’m the same one
It’s not because I forget that I am dead, 
no I’m not already dead stop walking on me this way

Stop it walking on me this way 
Shut up and move on
Leave me alone shut up and move on
I got my love 
I got  my love that’s all that counts now
That’s all that counts, leave me alone

HILLS STILL LEFT TO CLIMB  by Doug Roossien

This the “newer version of distant lovers” …lol …
In the original version ~ Cave men used to write on stone walls.

Only took one moment, … so, I turned back the hands of time 
Now, I’m traveling, … places in my mind
So many mountains that were traveled,  … since Montana’s left behind 
I was young, … with hills still left to climb 
Still so young, … with hills still left to climb

Notebook from the commissary, …back in 69
Letters stuck between the pages, … yours and one of mine 

Twelve nights in Montana, … can be a long time ,… now I know 
Halfway home, …  called and you were fine. 
There’s moments and there’s mountains, …there’s lonely and there’s love 
Always took for granted … somehow you’d be mine 
So long ago, … we had hills, … still left to climb 

Notebook from the commissary, …back in 69 
Letters stuck between the pages, … yours and one of mine 
If I’d sent you what I wrote, …If I’d told you, … long ago 
Who knows, … ooooooh, … who knows 
But I had too many hills … still left to climb 
I thought deep down , …you were always mine, … but Hills still left to climb 

As I sit here wandering, …in these places in my mind 
All comes back so painfully, what it is we find 

Only took one moment, … so, I turned back the hands of time 
Now, I’m traveling, … places in my mind 
I was gone the day I left you, … You were gone, … when I returned 
Should have known much better, … too late, … now to learn 
You were young, … with hills still left to climb 
Hills to climb 
You were young, … with hills still left to climb

HILLS STILL LEFT TO CLIMB

Redo of an older track with some new instruments. I've always liked the upbeat, dreamy nature of this one, but I tried to give it some summer time sizzle.

Love and Circuits (heat of summer version)

Emotional here... With piano backing track.    Original artist Radiohead

Creep  (Cover)

Written and performed by David Cooper.

By the 17th and 18th Century with sharply rising import duties financing Britain's then frequent wars, the general scarcity of foreign luxuries with a focus on salt, wines, spirits, tea, silk and lace caused a shift towards smuggling goods inwards. Large profits were to be made from smuggling and its illegal business.

Taxes and duties were increasing. Goods that were smuggled into the country could make a great deal of profit on the black market . Smuggled goods were popular with people as they were usually cheaper than legally imported goods.

The main items smuggled in the 18th century were tea, wine, spirits and lace. 

Lyrics:

In the dark of night the smuggler plays
Brings his contraband through the waves
Hides it among the caverns deep
Does his work when others sleep

He waits until the break of day
Takes his wares and he’s on his way
Takes his illicit goods to sell
Got to please his clientele

Chorus

He’s got fine French wine and brandy too
He’s a local hero to me and you
He’s a man who knows what to do
But every night he prays

Bridge

He knows his fate if he is caught
His life will end at the end of a rope

The excise men look high and low
Try to follow wherever he goes
But he knows the paths to evade
Their efforts to stop his illegal trade

Chorus x 2

UN ENFANT DE TOI

Poser ma joue contre ton ventre
Fermer les yeux et tout entendre
Le moindre souffle de son cœur
Les coups de pieds du bonheur

Poser ma joue contre ton ventre
Sentir la chaleur de ton antre
Mes doigts qui courent sur tes rondeurs
Toute ces courbes du bonheur

C’est juste un enfant de toi, de toi
Juste une enfant de toi, un enfant de toi
C’est juste un enfant de toi, de toi
Rien qu’un enfant de toi, un enfant de toi

Poser ma joue contre ta main
Sentir la douleur dans tes reins
Ces cris qui parfois me font peur
Ouvrent la porte du bonheur

Poser ma joue contre ta main
Le voir allongé sur ton sein
Ça fait des mois, des jours, des heures
Que j’attends ce petit bonheur

C’est juste un enfant de toi, de toi
Juste une enfant de toi, un enfant de toi
C’est juste un enfant de toi, de toi
Rien qu’un enfant de toi, un enfant de toi

Est-ce que cette histoire te plaît
J’aimerais tant qu’elle soit vraie
Te le demander maintenant
Pour ne plus perdre un seul instant

Je suis prêt à tout assumer
Le vent, la pluie et les marées
Te le demander maintenant
Pour ne plus perdre un seul instant

Te le demander maintenant
Offre-moi le comme un présent
Pour toi d’amour je suis tombé
J’aimerais un petit bébé

Juste un enfant de toi, de toi
Rien qu’un enfant de toi, un enfant de toi
J’aimerais un enfant de toi, de toi
Donne-moi un enfant de toi, un enfant de toi

A CHILD OF YOU

Lay my cheek against your belly
Close my eyes and hear everything
The slightest breath of his heart
The kicks of happiness

Lay my cheek against your belly
Feel the warmth of your sanctuary
My fingers running over your roundness
All these curves of happiness

Just a child of you, of you
Just a child of you, a child of you
Just a child of you, of you
Only a child of you, a child of you

Lay my cheek against your hand
Feel the pain in your loins
These cries that sometimes scare me
Open the door to happiness

Lay my cheek against your hand
See him lying on your breast
It's been months, days, hours
That I wait for this little happiness

Just a child of you, of you
Just a child of you, a child of you
Just a child of you, of you
Only a child of you, a child of you

Do you like this story
I wish it was true
Ask you now
To never waste a single moment

I'm ready to take on everything
Wind, rain and tides
Ask you now
To never waste a single moment

Ask you now
Give it to me as a present
For your love I fell
I'd like a little baby

Just a child of you, of you
Only a child of you, a child of you
I'd like a child from you, from you
Give me a child of you, a child of you...

SOMEDAY THE WEIGHT OF THIS YEAR ON MY LIFE WILL BE AN ALBUM FULL OF PAIN,... BUT, RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M CENTRALLY LOCATED IN HELL

1987 WENT TO Nashville for a “short week” Music row to make the big time … wow … nobody listens in lawsuit land in those days. 1988 WENT TO NASHVILLE for 3 days (surely, I would crack this puzzle and become famous …) so many on benches in front of churches. Frustrated, didn’t sing publicly again basically for 25 years. (after all, where would a singer/song writer, make a name for himself in Karaoke land).
2010 discovered open mics (new world begins). WRITING SINCE …a lot! Had someone to produce me in limited acoustic style for a couple years…I think a few were damn good “Fields of Quiet Soil”. Had a lot of offers to write lyrics and/or sing for a lot of other artists here. (but no recording capability …let alone a decent computer for my own. TODAY, THINGS CHANGE …I’m here to make an impact (got 4 new ones under my belt recently) …plus some old ones you will not be disappointed listening to. Welcome old music fans and artists., potential serious collabs.
I’m locked and loaded this time!
