LET'S GO SLOWLY

Like the short lyrics' meaning "love has no hurry", music makes contrasts on rhythms and textures even inside each part: Main theme starts with fast drums on slow melodies & has a DANCEABLE? 2nd part with lead bass guitar; Central theme makes fast tracks become slow to the left channel and vice-versa, progressing to a POST-ROCK? atmosphere. Meanwhile, two lead guitars and echoing voices complete the contrasting piece. I hope to get your feedback !!!

Lo que ha de suceder / What is to happen

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Te quiero, te quiero, … / I love you, I love you, …

Ser impaciente / Being impatient

No hay prisa (Te quiero)

What can I say the rich get richer and the poor they drink more beer. Back in the day (not too long ago) I fell behind on my rent and it took me 3 months to catch-up. This song pretty well puts everything in perspective when the end of the month arrives and The Man wants you to pay your bills.




Blues Have Got Me by The Balls!

Woke up this morning had left over pizza for breakfast
I should have known the good times they don’t last.
My credit card’s maxed out -my minimum payment’s overdue
I’ve got bills to pay a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do  

yeah the blues
you know the blues
yeah the blues
have got me by the balls!

Well money’s got a habit of burning holes in my pockets
I don’t wanna hear ‘bout no Dow Jones - no stock markets
feels like I’m stuck between a rock a rock and a hard place
just wanna pack my bags and disappear without a trace

yeah the blues
you know the blues
yeah the blues
have got me by the balls!


My friends tell me Peter you know money doesn’t grow on trees
right about now I sure could win yeah the next lottery
I gotta a lawyer on the phone wants another alimony payment
landlord's on my case he wants me to PAY THE RENT   
                                                                   
the blues
you know the blues
yeah the blues
have got me by the balls!

Well the rich get richer and the poor they drink more beer
all I know is I gotta find a way yeah to get outta of here
I got a women you know she costs me an arm ‘n a leg
but I need her lovin’ I’m just too proud - too proud to beg

yeah the blues
you know the blues
yeah the blues
you know the blues
yeah the blues
have got me - have got me - have got me  by The BALLS!

The Blues Have Got Me by The Balls

Lyrics: 
 Where's my mask and hide what I feel inside do you see the shame I hide 
 you  walk and edge most here would never know we ask why did you go 

over and over plays in my head over and over it plays in my head
 tell me where you going and what you been tell me what you done and what you've seen 
 over and over it plays in my head over and over plays in my head 

did you know that hurt we felt when you left now we pray your souls at rest 
 sleight of hand did I close my eyes too long did I fail to see what's wrong 

over and over it plays in my head over and over it plays in my head 
 tell me where you going and what you been tell me what you've done and what you've seen 

Chorus 

life's too short but your smile and  love live on is it true you're really gone 
 watch over us and see the love we feel as we help each other heal

For a Friend (with Michele Louthan)

For A Friend - Feat. Michele (acoustic 2001)

“My Silver Unicycle” began as the first track Blankets and I made together in 2009. It was originally planned to be an instrumental track since I was tired of recording vocals and wanted to make an instrumental set that combined neopsychedic rock with hip hop. “Love is Called to All,” which I released as an open collaboration track and David Lee Louthan recently added vocals to, was the second instrumental track Blankets and I recorded for the set. I decided to add vocals to “My Silver Unicycle” approximately 3 years ago, probably after completing “Let’s Do It (All Over Again)” with Weighty Tree. I never released the track because I decided I wanted to focus on releasing collaborative tracks with people active in the  SoundCloud community. Eventually I couldn’t access the original stems to “My Silver Unicycle” due to old DAW issues and this track just sat there in limbo. I decided to release this track now because I can’t seem to complete any new tracks. Lol. So there ya go. 

The photo is taken from a party I had at my old house. I used to invite all my musician and artists friends over and we would play live music, paint and draw on the wall, read poetry, and cook together. It was fun.  

Huge blessing to Blankets for all the music we made together, a lot of which still has never been released on any platform. And big thanks to Russell Sinfield at the Chaos Cookhouse for mixing and mastering this track on the quick style with only an instrumental stem and 3 of my vocal stems. It was originally supposed to be lo-fi any ways.

Lyrics 

Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together 
On my silver unicycle 
Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together 

You can say I am lazy baby
Maybe a little hazy but having a good time
I’m have a good time
But I’m having a good time

Hop on board 
We’re all just board 
Just give it a shot 
We’ve all been ignored 
Tried it the old way
Got no reward 
Did our way
Still deplored 

I don’t care sit and stare
Disbelieve and yell and stare 

We’re all just trying to figure it out

Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together 
On my silver unicycle 
Let’s all take a ride
On my silver unicycle 
We can get on together

JE PREFERE EN RIRE

Elle m’a dit
Tu vois bien tes valises
Sur le seuil posées
Ras le bol de tes crises
Avant fallait penser
Je n’ai rien eu à dire
Elle était trop fâchée
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

Il m’a dit
Jamais de découvert
Pour vous c’est interdit
Y’a plus qu’une chose à faire
S’il vous reste des amis
Je n’ai pas pu rien dire
Sa porte s’est refermée
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

Ils m’ont dit
Vous êtes allé trop vite
Ici c’est limité
Plutôt que prendre la fuite
J’ai voulu m’expliquer
Je n’ai pas pu leur dire
Nom du père et papiers
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
J’ai préféré en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

Je m’suis dit
Je suis bien mal barré
Et personne ne m’écoute
Que des ennuis posés
En travers de ma route
Je n’ai plus qu’à me dire
Prends çà du bon côté
Et je préfère en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer
Et je préfère en rire plutôt que d’en pleurer

I PREFER TO LAUGH

She said
You see your suitcases
On the threshold asked
Get out of your fits
Before had to think
I did not have anything to say
She was too angry
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying

He told me
Never discovered
For you it's forbidden
There's more than one thing to do
If you still have friends
I could not say anything
Her door closed
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying

They told me
You went too fast
Here it is limited
Rather than flee
I wanted to explain myself
I could not tell them
Father's name and papers
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying
I preferred to laugh at it rather than crying

I told myself
I am badly barred
And nobody listens to me
What troubles posed
Across the road
I just have to tell myself
Take it on the right side
And I prefer to laugh rather than crying
And I prefer to laugh rather than crying

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

NOTHING'S EVER GONNA MAKE ME STOP
DANCING ROCKING LIKE THE BLITZRIEG BOP
THERE WILL BE ROCKING AND ROLLING ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

WE MIGHT END UP DANCING WITH THE COPS
ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK
AND THE JUDGE SAYS ROCK ON ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND

OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

Summer Tune

As always, a pleasure, and an education, in working with EDM specialist Adelmo Silva.
     The music is straight from the mind of Adelmo, the lyrics from me.    All electronic instruments (including percussion) are Adelmo's, the vocals and guitars are mine.
      The excellent and imaginative arrangement of the track is Adelmo's.   I am, at this stage, working on an alternative, rock-based, arrangement - but that is some months away.

Lyrics:
	if the wine you drink and the lips you kiss
	end in tears, not in bliss
	just let your hair down, let your hair down

	whether seen from above, or seen from below
	it's just a scene from a puppet show
	so let your hair down,  just let your hair down
	
	let your hair down, run through the jungle

The Show........

As I get older -  try to stay sober - just long enough to realize it ain't over but it's getting colder - my knees getting weaker - I'm learning to stand all over again.
Seems that I've gone through - so many changes - what's left to conquer - am i getting so bored that i can't concentrate on the main goal - which nowadays is completely blurred
So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show
My eyes will stay focused mainly on the next task – just as long as up my sleeve I find my flask – and while I’m submerged in all these urges and it’s hard to remember just where I am.
Still I’m remiss to ask you just what I was saying cause that’s all my mind will allow me to handle at this time I’m fading slowly degrading – I fell off earth long ago  –So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that  i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show
Please breathe your light into my aura its black and it’s purple – it’s out of control the colors are scattered and all that has mattered through all these years has already been
taken away in the blink of just one eye – don’t be judging - the colors keep smudging – and you keep begrudging me cause I’m fading – it’s not understated when you say I’m a mess.
So leave me be with bottles and cans just let me reflect on the strange man that i am - we feel the conjecture in our tones - we're avoiding what we already know - If you look deeper beneath the layers of film in my eyes as they thicken every time i sip a sorrow away - it get's harder each day - putting on the show
