Wrong Way

Catastrophe Theory

https://youtu.be/u_OVRim8YXg

Friday night, turn the radio on 
my beer is stone cold  
my favorite country song
fills the air in my truck 
makes my baby momma swoon...

they interrupt 
my perfect small town cool 
another crazy city fella
shot up another school
and now they’ll come for my guns 
just because
sometimes the Devil
grabs a loon

It ain’t fair to be persecuted 
for what another man done did
you see a problem 
you straight up shoot it
it’s what I was taught
it’s what I will teach my kid

I’m sending you my thoughts & prayers
now let me tell you what those are:
I thought of you gettin' mauled by bears
and I prayed you'd get run over by a car!

'f you been huntin’ all day
you need to spray them
wanna ask those Newtown actors
who paid 'em
cause God’s honest truth
don’t need to mess with no facts

(oh, don't you hate them fa*s)

trigger makes me happy
barrel makes me hard
them boys keep the Free World free—
I do my part
ain’t no government wrote me a check
that I didn’t cash!

ain’t wrong if you didn’t ax
(it ain't wrong)
 
I’m sending you my thoughts & prayers
now let me tell you what those are:
I thought you might get mauled by bears
and then I prayed you'd get run over by a car

or bears in a car
(don’ matter the kind of bear)
(don’ matter the kind of car)

I thought it’s too much work to pretend to care
and I pray they don’t have mainstream news
on any TV’s in the bar...

Thoughts & Prayers

I've walked the world from front to back and seen a million things
I've scraped my knuckles on the map and held on through the waves
I've taped the eyes of monkeys and rode them till they broke
I've burned the leaves of agony and danced naked in their smoke

I feel ok
It's just the feeling that the end is something I can't escape
I feel insane
Then again a normal mind just sounds a bit too tame.

I've lifted chins and broke girls in, been lovestruck and confused
I've played the role of a superstar and was quickly left diffused
I've rolled up on some players and left them picking sides
I've twisted grins with sappy sins that took them for a ride.

I play the game
Took some lumps and rolled the dice, threw down, and walked away
I sometimes stray
It's in my nature to taste the air and conform to its change

Black-eyes simpletons never know what nightmares lay ahead
Temptation gets the best of them and leaves blisters on the bed
Eventually it'll get to me and take me to the edge
I'll run the distance to the wedge and run thin till I'm dead

I live to fade
I waste away and feed the work that's living in my brain
I taste the pain
In the strangers that I pass each day while I walk against the grain

Black Eyed Simpleton

A probable encounter, should I ever see her again:

Her: "I need to talk to you."

Me: "Why are you malfunctioning? You're not supposed to want that!"

This builds on Whimsy #1 a little. After a period of pondering and wandering for about three months.

4-18-2023: I haven't forgotten anybody for followbacks.  My stuff rose so sharply Soundcloud's main thing is scolding me for following too many in 1-day.  So I gotta wait

later on 4-18: got the reciprocal follows done if y'all were wondering.  Cheers.

Constellation Lyra - Magic

Momma’s Home Cook’n

Verse 1
Roosters crow’n with the morning light - and we rise at the brink of dawn
Coffees on hot and it’s say goodbye to tired eyes, get your britches on

Pre-Chorus 1
Fields need tending 
Horses need grain
Working hard in the Sun and the pouring rain
Tired as a dog at the end of the day
Then it’s grits - and we all
Come runnin

Chorus
Ohhh, it’s like a country song
And we’re all gonna sing along
We love Mommas home cooking
Daddy by the fire 
Drinking whiskey, telling stories
Till the night is gone 

Verse 2
Bareback on the trail and we’re riding high
That’s how it’s done here on long day stables 
Hauling to the shows another rodeo
Yeah, it’s on, and we’re running the table 

PreChorus 2
Driving all night 
Horses need grain
Riding hard in the sun and the pouring rain
Tired as a dog at the end of the day
Then it’s grits and we all come running

Chorus
Oh, it’s like a country song
And we’re all gonna sing along
We love Mommas home cooking
Daddy by the fire 
Drinking whiskey, telling stories
Till the night is gone 

Bridge into Solo
And we all come running home 

Verse 3
40 years later and I’m driving by but it’s gone, another subdivision
No fields, no silo, the barn and the house all gone, all gone

Outro
But in my memories,
The horses need grain, and we’re riding hard in the sun and the rain.
Im still tired as a dog at the end of the day
I yell grits, yeah, I’m always running home
And we all come running home

In this track I am trying to fit together the sound of the Strat with the synthesizers available in the #AKAI #MPC. For example, the second verse starts with a #Strat arpeggio followed by a synth #arpeggio. 
An arpeggiated Strat is present also on the chorus, and it is stereo-balanced with the synth pads.

All the effects applied on the Strat are stock ones available in the MPC, and the pre-amp is done by the #Marshall DSL-1. The overdrive on the guitar is generated by the DSL-1 #tubes.

I am experimenting the usage of #synthbass, using two different tracks, for #subbass and for bass. I like the thick sound I get from this approach.

I doubled the melody on the chorus on different octaves to have a bigger sound, and I think it works quite well, please let me know what you think in the comments.

I like a lot the intro-outro which is harmonized using 11th chords with the synth - mainly #Hype - and and with the Strat.

The title Verkehr is a German word that means traffic. I shot the photos in the #Verkehrshaus museum - museum of transportation in Luzern, Switzerland.

I aimed for a caribbean feel using skank guitar, organ bubble, bass and percussion punctuated by a trombone chorus. I also added a sort of descant using a sampled accordeon to complement the voice. Overall I planned this as a response to what I could hear in the vocal line. For this reason the trombone riffs and snare patterns were totally improvised while listening to the voice.

Neev Seawall Remix (ath)

CrissCross

Official Lyric Video:  https://youtu.be/fcwWmfxcYAA
In the Studio with Curtis: https://youtu.be/5RKxb3Kpke0
"Sunshine Through Rain" (Sunset Mix) is the second version (original EDM remix) of my original pop song, "Sunshine Through Rain" and features house musician Curtis McClain. A bit of history on Curtis: he was the house music vocalist on the house anthem song "Move Your Body" by house pioneer Marshall Jefferson. The "Move Your Body" track was later remixed by Benny Benassi and released by Ultra Music. Curtis McClain is featured predominately in this track's bridge but also does backup vocals and ad-libs throughout. The sunset mix is a more club/dance-oriented version of the sibling track which has a more indie-pop feel.

Sunshine Through Rain: Sunset Mix (feat. Curtis McClain)

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
