On first listen Iggy Pop's Lust for Life doesn't sound particularly original. The drumbeat a lift of You Can't Hurry Love and the layers of additional percussion suggest the Stones' Sympathy for the Devil.

So what's the secret of this rock classic? In short, Iggy Pop's lyrics and performance. There's something joyously lunatic about the ecstatic delivery that propels the song along at super high speed.

I hope my cover captures the spirit of the original & if not, listen to the original - link below.

Written by Iggy Pop & David Bowie.

Point Of Touch

I've lately been listening a lot to Industrial Ambient and Dark Ambient, like the freakishly amazing compilations by Cryo Chamber,  and also to the early albums by the one and only Jean Michel Jarre; so this part of the jam session was inspired by those musical compositions. To tie in with the previous two parts, this part three consists of several motifs, both measured and calm, and also impulsive and throbbing.

I used a vast amount of sounds, settings and samples and recorded the stereo in Audacity, which I used in post-production to extract the best parts from that jam session in order to create this track. As always, I only used basic audio editing techniques like simple crossfades. Only a touch of soft limiting was applied, no elaborate approaches like mastering were used whatsoever. Thus, the result is raw and highly dynamic in nature, so put on your favourite headphones and turn up that volume knob, because the Loudness War is for losers!

Most of my tracks can be downloaded for free, and I encourage you to use them in your jam sessions and live sets. If you use any of my material, I really would like to know what you could come up with. So drop me a message and please give a shout-out to Mrs. Audio Boy!

[Chorus１]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
Time control, yeah it’s a matter of course
Space movement, oh it’s mine
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
In the rift of the horizon
That’s the galaxy shines
Oh my Muse

[Verse 1]
If you look at the earth from space
You can see the blue water world
The big waves of creation are swelling
Oh, the beat
It’’s the beat of our dream
Rips the surface of the ground 
Like a tornado 
Of electric shock

[Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
Time control, yeah it’s a matter of course
Space movement, oh it’s mine
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
In the rift of the horizon
That’s the galaxy shines
Oh my Muse

[Verse 2]
If you look at the sky from (the) ground
A lot of universes are flocking
The big bangs of creation are shining
Oh, the beat
It’’s the beat of our dream
Cross the parallel universe
Like a tornado
Of electric shock

[Chorus]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
Time control, yeah it’s a matter of course
Space movement, oh it’s mine
I'm rushing through and penetrate
A new clean, fresh, endless world
My instrument is Miku HATSUNE
In the rift of the horizon
That’s the galaxy shines
Oh my Muse

I COULD HELP IF YOU WANTED

I could help if you wanted

Don't let me fall into your eyes
Don't let me call your name
Don't let me fall
I don't want to go there
You do it if you want to
I don't feel like going out
I could help if you wanted
[Wash your face]
I guess it's over now...

I could glow if you lit me
And you could melt into my eyes
I'd cup my hands when you were close to me
And I would let you fall
Steady like Sundays and pigeons
And we'll fill the bottles with wishes

Electric Blanket Lucy and The Butter Lad
Electric Blanket Lucy and The Butter Lad

Don't let me fall into your eyes
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
Don't let me call your name
[Listen really hard]
Don't let me fall
I don't want to go there
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
You do it if you want to
[Listen really hard]
I don't feel like going out
[Putting wishes in bottles that's all we do]
I could help if you wanted
[Wash your face]
I guess it's over now...

I could help if you wanted
I could help if you wanted

I Could Help If You Wanted

Long before September 11, 2001, there was a September 11, 1950; the birthdate of my wife Terry.  This song started out as a very personal musical portrait of her.  Debra became interested in the track after I sent it to her for collaborative consideration.  The result is something very special for the both of us and we hope you too.  In my playing, I address the intimate side of the song and day. In Debra's playing, she addresses the now much larger meaning of the day for our nation and the world. Ultimately I think what we are saying is that 9/11 is profoundly personal. Each of us, if were old enough to remember, know where we were, what we were doing the day the attacks occurred. The attacks also shook the world, world markets, world travel, and any and all sense of security.   Profound sorrow was draped over our country and any nation that called us friend.  "Stay With Me" is another way of saying "hold me close", "we need each other", and as the track picture suggests "forget me not".    A big "thank you" to Debra for lavishing her talent on this very personal song.    More of her beautiful music can be heard @debra_buesking.

Going Crazy

Welcome to the alternative reality that is the Dragonsail Puppets! We have a YouTube channel with cagey comedy and spirited music videos as well. Please feel free to check it out and join us on this party boat!

See their music videos and YouTube comedy series!:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVBel-tzj24Gj9QR8RTRpow

On Earth One, all of the music and lyrics are written by Dragonsail, aka Greg Hester. Likewise, all of the playing and vocal performances and recording and mixing are done by Dragonsail as well. But that's not as interesting as what's happening on Earth Two.

On Earth Two, these songs are created and performed by a scheming diva named Surrenda and her enthusiastic but clueless dog sidekick Bruce. Additional songwriting is provided by their septuagenarian feline keyboardist, Catatonia, and Onree - the sweet pup with the mean shaker. There's also some old geezers in the band who've been with Surrenda for a couple of decades who actually play real instruments, but they mostly loom in the shadows.

The range of styles in their music includes funk, psychedelia, hard rock, prog rock and disco, which they tear away at with whatever instruments and found objects they have stowed away with them aboard their ship, the Club Dragonsail.
