Unsigned Radio Hour #8

lyrics:
I
light breeze going up
the longest legs i've seen so far
squeak your way up to the top
but it's too late to be a star

high heels on railings
front and back like dancing
your tears triple up the stars
we've screwed the world up

ref. 
we have gone very far
hold me tight as fire comes
shout with your lungs
it's too late to be a star

one last time in a bar 
and it sums us up
you can let yourself drown
LA burns to the ground

II
sing a lullaby
as we close earth's eyes
in a sacred 
goodbye

put on your lip balm
alibi to live by
we've closed your eyes
for what's real in life

LA burns

Merci encore à toi Mathieu d’avoir accepté que je travaille sur un de tes sons!🙏🏽😉❤️

                              Just another day 

Encore un jour qui se lève, une nouvelle journée 
Le soleil se réveille sur un autre day 
D’une nuit brève et sans rêve 

Encore un soir où lorsque la lune sera montée  
De tous les bords de ma vie rien n’aura bougé 
Je le sais, just another day 

Maybe one day I will go away pour enfin me trouver
Maybe someday I will find the faith pour ne plus me cacher 

Je regarde ma guitare posée là, figée 
Puis cette page restée blanche de mots évaporés 
Anyway, is there something left to say?

Comment pourrai-je ne pas laisser tout s effacer?
Comment pourrai-je à nouveau sentir mon cœur vibrer?

Across the miles through time and space 
I will chase the Melodies i can retrace 

Today today today, just another day, just another day.

Just Another Day (with Mathieu)

It will probably be the only piece I ever compose in my life because I’m not a musician and I believe I lack many of the qualities and virtues to be one. So, don’t expect much from me. Still, thank you for your support and for sharing.

🎧 🎹 This is a short piece for piano that started as an experiment and gradually took shape. In memory of the woman whose love and sacrifice made me the man I am—my mother 🌸

🎶 I will forever cherish the memory of her immense happiness in learning a short passage from Beethoven's *Ode to Joy* on the piano. Every night, before going to sleep, she would play those simple yet heartfelt notes. *Alma Edilma* is also a heartfelt tribute to a woman whose essence touched so many hearts 💗❤️💗

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_--_-_-_--_-_-_-_-_-_-

Probablemente será la única pieza que componga en mi vida, porque no soy músico y creo que me faltan muchas de las cualidades y virtudes para serlo. Así que no esperen mucho de mí. Aun así, gracias por su apoyo y por compartir.

🎹 Esta es una pequeña pieza para piano que empezó como un experimento y poco a poco fue tomando forma. En memoria de la mujer cuyo amor y sacrificio me convirtieron en el hombre que soy: mi madre 🌸

🎶 Siempre atesoraré el recuerdo de su inmensa felicidad al aprender un breve pasaje del Himno a la Alegría de Beethoven al piano. Cada noche, antes de dormir, tocaba esas notas sencillas pero emotivas. *Alma Edilma* es también un sentido homenaje a una mujer cuya esencia conmovió tantos corazones. 💗❤️💗

Alma Edilma

1974 - 
Marjorie Morrisey Lived Upstairs
She Was Tall & Enjoyed Being Taller
Walking Around Her Apartment In High Heels
Her Outdoor Cats - There Were Many - Were Forever In 'Heat'
But She Was Actually A Fan Of The Song
Which She'd Heard Being Written 
On The Piano In The Apartment Below 
And Eventually Came With Me To A Few Gigs
I'd Introduce Her & She'd Take A Grand Bow
-------
The Other Unlikely Fan Of "Mrs Morrissey's Cats"
Is Violinist, Lili Haydn  
Who Was About 8 y/o When She First Heard It 
Lili's Mom - Commediene, Lotus Weinstock & I Were Friends 
& It Was Cool Watching Lili Grow-Up From The Edges 
This Goes Out To That Little Girl 
Who Was "Pretty Sure It Was Pretend..."
---------
And to my Wife... #christiemellor
Whose fearless silliness - has helped keep the song alive
By singing & meowing along with me 
in humorous ways for 4 decades 
---
and finally the music...
The Chords 'F' & 'B7' are not in the same key 
Yet they show-up at the top of the song 
This one is above my musical pay grade  
So a big shout-out to the 'Chord Gods' from other Worlds
who left this with me 

MRS. MORRISSEY’S CATS

Mrs Morrisey’s Cats
They Live In The Back & They Howl
And When I Try To Sleep
They Put On A Show
They Have No Regard
For Folks They Don’t Know
Life Is So Short
And Yet They Must Die
I’m Going To Kill Mrs Morrisey’s Cats
He’s Going To Kill Mrs Morrisey’s Cats

Dweed Is The Vocal One
And Malibu’s The Site
Thrust Off The Pier
In The Dead Of The Night
KIitties Ahoy
And Floats Like A Buoy
Time's Up For Dweed & The Morrisey Cats
He’s Going To kill Mrs Morrisey’s cats
meow meow meow etc

Gumby Is Small
And The Last One To Go
A Bomb In The Litterbox
A Swift Little Blow
Life Is So Short
And Yet They Must Die
I’m Going To Kill Mrs Morrisey’s Cats
He’s Going To Kill Mrs Morrisey’s Cats

All These Things Are Finite (24 Mix)

I want to reiterate Josh's comments in the write up below... this project was the first time I'd met John and after some emails and watching some of his videos on YouTube I'm super impressed with his guitar skills.  He has mastered the LZ catalog from what I can tell. His playing has the vibe and attitude of Jimmy Page and that's not an easy thing to do.   Hope you enjoy his playing as much as I have!

Cast of Characters:

John_Anthony-- @john-anthony-871225464 --guitar, mandolin

The Mysterious Decibel-- @themysteriousdecibel – vocals

K2 and the Three [and the Four]-- @k2andthe3 , @k2-kara -–Ken–drums and high harmony in the end vocals, mastering

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman  –Stephen– production and mix

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1  –-four string fretless bass, melody and third harmony on the end vocals

This song actually began more than a year ago, when Ken and Josh were just sniffing each other out. They'd been working on Zeppelin's Night Flight, for those of you who remember that long ago, and Josh was having trouble with latency in his recording. Out of frustration, he recorded a really rough version of this, to which Ken put really amazingly perfect drums. Shortly after, he got his recording issues settled and they continued on with Night Flight, shelving this half baked creature for more than a year. But it wasn't forgotten. 

  (Josh) In the meantime, I'd been following John Anthony on both YouTube (https://youtube.com/@johnanthony5720?si=-ooQcUUQaemrk-NH) and on the Cloud. If you were ever curious about how Jimmy Page's fingers looked in the studio, do yourself a favor and check him out on there, too. Anyway, since he can play literally every Zep song note for note, I figured I'd ask him if he would replace my pitiful by comparison guitar part with his own. He not only did that in numerous sections, as Page would've, but played the mandolin for it, too. Now, we had a song that was almost ready, but of course we needed someone to fill Plant's part. So, of course we asked The Mysterious Decibel if he'd do the honors, which he came through with in grand fashion. 
  
Now that the song was done, we needed it to be mixed, too. So, we tapped our resident mixing expert, Stephen to do that for us. It was a surprisingly difficult mix to get everyone to agree on. And there were philosophical questions that arose during the mixing process, too. We're very lucky, though, that Stephen is not only an expert producer, but a great teammate as well, with the patience of your favorite high school teacher. 

Anyway, our hope is that we did the almighty Led Zeppelin honor with this one. We hope you all enjoy our reverent tribute to one of our collective favorites as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Une Si belle Nuit

Never mind how you thought things should have been / The world still turning around and around / that's not on the list of things that you let down / you hear the bells still ringing / sun come up the birds they'll still be singing loud / some are only there to put in the rearview mirror / when you're Milwaukee bound
