this is great... I'd love to collab sometime 😍 

message me if you'd be interested, I'm open to all genres 

awesome concept and lyrics. Overall sound is really nice and your vocals are perfect. Luv the open drums / hi-hats

great return of the theme, wich is by now irresistable.

Great drama in this one — from the unflinching stoic pace, to the overarching call to inspect one's life. A world of interesting atmosphere. ⁓Rebecca

I first heard this track by Nic right at the beginning of 'Pandemic Spring Break 2020' a couple of weeks before I got to know him.  I was working on a ladder at my house and I had to climb down to down to look and see who this was. I was glad to get his blessing to put my spin on it. 

Listen here to the original, a dark, cool and meditative piece, in my opinion.

Nic: original composition, vocals, lyrics, guitar, bells, congas, maximum swagger.
MBL: bass, drums, keys, mix.

Once In Djúpavík

A song about those kind of nights when you drink a bit too much and start re-evaluating your life.

And I walked through the woods
Evening traffic roars behind like wolves in the night
Would things change if I could?
Conversations in my mind

Just a few steps more
Killed by the calm in your voice
Just a few steps more
Drowned in the depths of your eyes
Just a few steps more
Ripples on the stream
Guided by the autumn leaves

And I get lost in the noise
Just following your voice
Questions on the breeze
Guided by the autumn leaves

Easy like one, two, three
Was it something you did to me?
Your presence unseen takes me from behind
Ask me your questions
Get the same answers each time.

Just a few steps more
Killed by the calm in your voice
Just a few steps more
Drowned in the depths of your eyes
Just a few steps more
Ripples on the stream
Guided by the autumn leaves

We've been out of commission for a while...hoping to get back to collabing soon. Meanwhile, leave Morry alone for a day or two in his home studio and this happens! Hope our SC friends enjoy!

Thinking about you
How I'm nothing without you
Just wandering round
This empty town until I saw your face

Girl, you're amazing
I'm not paraphrasing
I'm telling you just how much
I love the way you roll your eyes at me

Oooh
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about those things you do 

I know that it's lazy
But you're driving me crazy
Don't have the time
To find a way to say some words that aren't cliche

Thinking about you
Just glad that I found you
A shot in a million or maybe
A couple of hundred but, baby, hey that's cool

Oooh
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about those things you do 

Thinking about you
How I'm nothing without you
Just like a ghost that
Floats around this empty town forever

But now that we're older
Put your head on my shoulder
I don't want to hide those extra
Lines that crease our faces when we smile

Oooh
I'm thinking about you
Thinking about those things you do 


Take my hand babe we can fly away
Like the hours on the clock face
Let em fade away
You take my pain away
You should be regulated taxed and prescribed your my queen bee I wanna get up in your beehive just don’t ask me to behave  pop quiz this an easy A let’s get a coffee like we on Luke cage or we can pop some poppin corn and watch jeopardy our relationship has sea legs I mean longevity I don’t care if it’s birds and bees and B’s and G’s birthday suits or blue jeans I just wanna be with you


Rich sent me a delicate little guitar line built around playing some tenths. I probably shouldn't have scuzzed it up and added a load of tape wobble, but for some reason I figured it might sit in a kind of 70s soul/hip-hop track. As it's essentially just a repeating chord sequence, I needed something to break the flow. Step forward @nahlej381 with his usual spoken section par excellence.

Lyrics from myself and David Graham (mctownmusic)
Music is an old track from Gary Carter
--------------
Must of Been Luck
JD/DG/GC 2018
She grew up down in Texas in a little one horse town
Her daddy was a cowboy Never did come back around

Her momma didn't trust her So she drove off by herself
I saw her on the side of the road An I asked if I could help

(pre chorus)
She climbed up on my Harley We rode off into the wind
For years and years we were lovers Now we can’t even be friends

Chorus
We needed something more But I was never sure what of
I thought it was love It must of been luck
Must of been luck....Must of been luck

(music only then verse)
I loved being with her under that big Texas sky
One day my luck run out an she…told me goodbye

I climbed up on my Harley I rode off into the wind
For years and years we were lovers Now we can’t even be friends

We needed something more But I was never sure what of
I thought it was love ….It must of been luck (short)

bridge
I was lucky to learn from her   what it means to be free

I was lucky to be the man …that she  ..Use to need

I climbed up on my Harley I rode off into the wind
For years and years we were lovers Now we can’t even be friends

We needed something more But I was never sure what of
I thought it was love It must of been luck
Must of been luck....Must of been luck

Must of been luck....Must of been luck

Must of Been Luck

Here is the result of a collaboration with my SC friend Gina Wood @gina-wood-837506330
 Initially the collaboration was aiming to become an improvisation about Emerson Lake and Palmer, which we both like very much.
See what it has become :-)
We are sure you all will enjoy the journey :-)
