muy buena producción y excelentes cambios

To welcome Tom Adams back to SC, I recorded this slow, building blues burner...and I bought us a round of virtual bourbons. ;) Tom leans into that Tele bite for the opening solo pass, a second pass and then a howling ride home. I went neck pickup for a throatier tone you can hear at 1:00 mark and 2:25. To hear more of Tom's Tele mastery, do yourself a favor and check him out on his page... @user-342548892

...And Bourbon for the Teles (with Tom Adams)

Lyrics

We’re at the appointment
It’s a Saturday morning
It’s not that important
It’s not like I’m dying
As the man takes me through
what I need to know
I look over to you
You raise your eyebrows

Cos you said

If you want me to be there
I will be there
If you need me to be there
I will be there

We go on a trip
we’d rather not go
maybe I don’t mind
as much as you do
But you come along
and you make them laugh
They are glad that you’re there
They feel better about us

Cos you said

If you want me to be there
I will be there
If you need me to be there
I will be there
(repeat)

And we don’t mind feasting on scraps
Cos the scraps are all we got
You can’t always say yes
so I am careful when I ask
We found a way to make it through
a path we can both hold to
And at the end of every day
You will come home to me
And at the end of every day
You will come home to me

We’re at the appointment
it’s a week day morning
It’s not that important
It’s not like you’re dying
Then the man says your name
Calls you out of the room
And now I’m alone
I feel my eyes close

Cos I said

If you want me to be there
I will be there
If you need me to be there
I will be there
(repeat)

Be There

I'm all for having a good time, I love to party, but look after yourself and those around you.

Bright Light. 

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MAMA COCA WAS OUT TO GET ME
TRIED TO LEAVE BUT SHE WOULDNT LET ME
PRAY THE WIND GETS UP N BLOWS AWAY EVERYTHING


DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

HARD LIQUOR WAS THERE TO TEST ME 
AN ANGEL WAS SENT TO BLESS ME 
THEN THE TIDE CAME IN, WASHED OVER EVERYTHING

MARY JANE WAS THERE TO GREET ME
IN HER ARMS I CHILLED COMPLETELY    
THEN THE CLOUDS CAME DOWN AND I FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING

DON'T LOOSE YOUR SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DON'T WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY
I SAID DON'T LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CAN'T REMEMBER ANY PLACE YOU'VE BEEN
BURN BRIGHT STAR LIGHT FIND A WAY

DON'T  LOOSE YOUR  SOUL MY FRIEND
CANT REMEMBER ANTHING AFTER TEN
BRIGHT LIGHT DONT WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY

Bright Light

My submission for the December 2022 Sim Selection monthly challenge of Benn Jordan's discord community.

Theme: A Crack In Time
Keywords: guarded, helpless
Optional Challenge: Time is of the essence. Time is an illusion. Time is money. Time flies.

My compositional idea was to represent multiple time references, all moving forward at their own rate. Inspiration from a Stravinsky score, as well as other modern composers.

Perceptual Gate

Annmarie was a very close friend for a period in my life where I was generally feeling sorry for myself and often not the greatest person to hang out with. Annie, as I always called her, was a very dear friend during that time. Yet, when I went on to marry and raise a family, Annie became more and more isolated herself and it seemed I couldn’t keep our old friendship as it once so wonderfully was. When she passed away, too soon, these words came to me and I remember her often with a smile, straight talk and always a helping hand. Something I should have shown greater appreciation for when I had the chance.

This is a crude recording from my iPhone complete with background noise and such, but it was the first time I played it and decided it was what should be preserved despite its warts. I over-dubbed the harmonies and harmonica.

Lyrics: Annmarie by Craig Durgy

Annmarie, oh Annmarie
Her name is like a falling autumn leaf
She made me laugh, till I could see
That loneliness is at its best
Whenever she’s not here with me
Annmarie

When I was up, when I was down
I’d call on Annie, and she’d come around
No matter what, no matter when
She’d be sure to see that you’re
Supported by your very best friend
Annmarie

The only time she ever let me down, let me down
Was when she wouldn’t help herself come round, come around

When the days, took her away
The silence fell like secrets in the rain
She held me up, I let her fall
As the world got heavier 
The only thing I said to her caused pain
Annmarie, my Annmarie

Wonderful Sight

Feelin' good, lying down in a bed of glass
Feelin' good, in the Summertime Valley
Swing low, sweet chariot

Summertime Valley

MARÉ - (TIDE)

(Letra: Leonardo Garcia)

Faça o favor de esquecer
O dissabor de tantos beijos sem paixão.
Tantos excessos excederam o desprazer
Dos destemperos insalubres dos teus nãos.

Mas é que tudo convergia
Aos desconfortos de perder.
Já que você não quer mudar.
Então eu não quero entender.

Talvez a minha desventura foi querer
Satisfazer sua insanidade anormal.
A despeito de ciúmes doentios
Que esculpiam em minha mente todo mal.

Coube ao tempo apagar
Os sentimentos que eu te dei.
E se tudo tem algum lugar,
Eu já não sei.

Já que o destino foi maior, do que eu.
Pede pro tempo.
Já que os ventos são contrários a nossa direção.
Os seus prantos são fervor de um triste coração.
Te deixo a dor das cicatrizes,
Pois o que foi já não é.
Ninguém mandou você remar pro lado oposto da maré.

(Lyrics: Leonardo Garcia)

Please forget.
The disgust of so many kisses without passion
So many excesses have exceeded displeasure
Of the unhealthy distempers of yours.

But it was that everything converged
To the discomforts of losing
Since you do not want to change
So I do not want to understand

Maybe my misadventure was to want
To satisfy your abnormal insanity.
In spite of sickly jealousies
That carved in my mind all evil.

It was for the time to vanish
The feelings I gave to you
And if everything has a place
I do not know.

Since the destiny was greater, than myself
Ask to the time
Since the winds are opposite to our direction.
Your weeping is fervor of a sad heart.
I leave you the pain of the scars,
For what has been, it is no longer.
Nobody told you to row to the opposite side of the tide.
