Really good sounds!! So nice composition!!

Bushwick Love

Thank You so much for 1000 plays! 

No A.I. was used to create this track!

Around January 20th my friend from work asked me to prepare for him some music for his graphics reel project. And here is result. Mostly done in one evening. Original track has 36 seconds, however, for SoundCloud purposes, I extended this "track" and added a finish. Finally this track didn't find his way to final product, but I think it's a decent project to share ;)

Main hero of this track is still awesome, 18 years old, soft synth from Native Instruments - Massive. Beside that I've used heavily filtered Heavyocity Foundation Emotive Choir and couple of percussive samples from Ableton Live libraries.

Alchemy and Stones
By David Husted

V1

Your an alchemist shaping my world
metal and leaf, herbs and fire
Your the pestle to ground the root
To shake my truth, without gun powder
   
ch                      
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

V2
And the stones of philosophers
The secrets of flowers golden
The halls of wise, the dreams that lie behind
The paradise we long for

ch
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

Rock Bridge

Ch Quiet

You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me
                
V3

You take my cynical, my rigid , my narrow mind stiffening
You mix me it in your crucible, release internal conflicts
I'm tired of being wrapped up in my revolutions
Un-dress me take me inside your peaceful evolution

Your peaceful evolution
Your peaceful evolution
 

Ch  
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might

Love You

I have a new song release scheduled for 13 DEC 24 called Alchemy and Stones. 

In one of my past song journal entries my word of the day was amalgam and I threw in the word alchemy for good measure.  During the lyric building process for this song my brain seemed to be still heavily steeped in the essence of these words. They were percolating through my thought streams. Much of the lyrical content contains imagery associated with this chemistry of the past and its mythic symbols. Our messy world provided additional ingredients that fell into the steaming crucible and began to round out this song into its final state.

There were four different songs that fed my creative spark and development process.  They were the following:

Spoon: Wild
James McMurtry: Canola Fields
Fruit Bats: Waking Up in Los Angeles
Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero

Deep bow of gratitude to all these artists.  My primary reference for the arrangement was Wild and it had the deepest structural influence on the song. The McMurtry song helped me hit on an idea for the chorus melody that seemed to stick with me and I liked his vocal delivery and cadence. The Fruit Bats was really not used at all but I loved the ohhhs in the chorus and wanted to find a way to emulate the laid back ease of them in my song.  However, my particular song style, tempo and arrangement just never allowed an entry point. The Fruit Bats song did keep the juices flowing though so that is why it still receives honorable mention in this write-up.

Finally, the  song by Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero did have a role in my song believe it or not.  If you listen to one of the synths you will hear a gated pumping sound courtesy of an Auto Pan and a Phaser-Flanger Plug-in. I really should thank a Music Producer named Ill Factor for teaching me the sound design process here. He demonstrated the technique in a YouTube video. Pretty cool.  As I have said before, I learn something new in every new song I build.  It is always deeply enjoyable for me. I also appreciate you for leaning in and listening. I wish you all the very best.

Thank You

Have a Great Weekend,

I wake up to another day
Can’t see no path to another way
Before I check the time, I wonder what it means
It didn’t mean a thing before my birth
And now I find the meanings and my meagre worth 
Is only found in dreams

I start a job to busy me
I sing a song so I don’t see
The many choices I tossed upon the floor
Footprints on the pages left unturned
But sometimes I still wonder when the music stops
If love is not worth more

I lay in bed and moralise
I’m too tired to dry my eyes
It’s not the game it sometimes seems
An endless circle that I dance and dance 
And now I see the shadows as they hold me still
And lead me to my dreams

Dreams

FASCISM IS BACK IN FASHION
BUT DID IT EVER REALLY GO AWAY

BUT DID IT EVER REALLY GO AWAY

FASCISM IS BACK IN FASHION
HITLER IS ALIVE AND HE’S LIVING IN YOUR TOWN
YOU KNOW HIM BY A DIFFERENT NAME
THE GAME, THOUGH, IS THE SAME
NO ONE WILL SURVIVE HIS REIGN
THE LAST TO WEAR HIS CROWN
WEAVER OF A WEB OF LIES
BASKING IN THE SHAME

FASCISM IS BACK IN FASHION
TOXIC TO THE MIND
A DEATHWISH TO THE SOUL
CREEPS UP FROM BEHIND
THE CLEVER WAY TO TAKE CONTROL

FASCISM IS BACK IN FASHION
HITLER IS ALIVE AND HE’S LIVING IN YOUR TOWN

HITLER IS ALIVE AND HE’S LIVING IN YOUR TOWN
THIS IS THE DAWNING OF A NEW AGE

BACK IN FASHION
TOXIC TO THE MIND
BACK IN FASHION
A DEATHWISH TO THE SOUL
BACK IN FASHION
CREEPS UP SLOWLY FROM BEHIND
BACK IN FASHION
THE CLEVER WAY TO TAKE CONTROL

CREEPS UP SLOWLY FROM BEHIND
BACK IN FASHION
THE CLEVER WAY TO TAKE CONTROL

A DEATH WISH TO THE SOUL
BACK IN FASHION
CREEPS UP SLOWLY FROM BEHIND
BACK ON FASHION

FASCISM IS BACK IN FASHION

Sometimes, we stumble on the road out of the blue
