Much better than the original! Love it, bravo!

Stonking performance Lisa. The Pirate has a lot to answer for – and @phil-mcwalter - this is against nature in so many ways, but it finally got me this evening – have been trying to resist for some time (didn’t realise there was a copy on your page too). Extraordinary rendition.

Epic Rock & Roll! Massive Vocal Chords! Steve Perry couldn't sing it any stronger! A Strong Journey presence!

Besides the fun - this is a stunning work by both of You!! Hats off!!

great track lisa and phil..great vox and big power chords

Holy smokes!  This is amazing you two!!! love that little tribute at the end there😉

Ashes To Ashes, 1980

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumor from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed, love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing, just
Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things (I never done good things)
I never done bad things (I never done bad things)
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

Solitude

keep track

Recorded live at home in "studio"

have i lost my mind?
somethings missing that i can't find.
have i lost all of my self-control?
have i lost all of my respect for the world?

have i worn apart,
and lost all the pieces of my broken heart?
in all the pieces, have i lost my soul?
empty choices tend to take their toll.

i tossed my faith in all the confusion.
i told myself that i lost my mind.
i'm 38, i'm an old man, just look at the times.
my analog days have been left behind.

put me back on track.
come tie my shoes and teach me how to act.
i tell myself that i can fix it all.
then i can't get myself up in the morning.

there must be more to this.
day to day, just to exist.
then give me something to make me numb.
better give me something to make me dumb.

i tossed my faith in all the confusion.
i told myself that i lost my mind.
i'm 38, i'm an old man, just look at the times.
my analog days have been left behind.

have i lost my touch?
couldn't tell you, i don't feel much.
my whole body starts to fall asleep,
from all the pressure that's on top of me.

have i lost my sight?
i have, i can't get nothing right.
slowly drifting waiting for the shore.
there's no one working in the lighthouse anymore.

i tossed my faith in all the confusion.
i told myself that i lost my mind.
i'm 38, i'm an old man, just look at the times.
my analog days have been left behind.

Them Days We Left Behind

This remix (March 20024) removes the rim shot (which was driving me nuts) and adds a new drum section.  
The nspiration is Ann Leckie's award winning "Ancillary Justice"  epic, written back in 2014. How did I miss it? 
This is  the first track on a mini-album and is meant to reflect the overall theme: the hyper rational determination of the central character (Breq) to deliver justice against an empire bent on brutal annexations.  Hmmm.....
The cover art is from a limited edition of the book and is by Lauren Saint-Onge.

I've been "away" for a while musically, because I was busy with setting up a new PC as "music machine", but yesterday and today I've created a new track from scratch, started with programming percussion, beats, brass and stuff, the jungle vibe ambience included (with Palindrome); so all is vst and no audio loops used. Finally I added a sloppy sax jam, which may be replaced some day ;-) so have fun and enjoy my late summer vibes ! photo by Truman Talbot, unsplash

Work Your Magic 2022

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all our time
work your magic
now work your magic
work your magic
now work your magic

cross your fingers sevenfold
bow down and put your own needs on hold
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
mounted on the back of the hardened
the worst offenders who never get pardoned
now work your work your magic 
work your magic work your magic
work your magic
  
this is your captain calling
with an urgent warning*
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
now bid farewell to the departed
we‘re going back to where we started
work your magic work your magic
work your magic 

I'm pretty sure you heard it before
you wont listen but you cant ignore
the power cut on your side of the line
fixing it it will take up all of your time

* first two lines of the third verse borrowed from  ”Sweet Bird Of Truth“ by The The (1986)

Let's Dance (David Bowie Tribute) with Christian Rossle

I'm happy to post here this cover of "Jump they say",  brilliantly orchestrated and brought to life by "Phil & friends" :-) It's from David Bowie's 1993 "Black tie, white noise" album. To be honest I'd never heard this song before, but I took to it immediately and thoroughly enjoyed doing my bit :-) 

Thanks again Phil for the opportunity, and a big hand to Rick and Lisa for their top notch contributions :)

Lyrics :

When comes the shaking man
A nation in his eyes
Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo
Streaking cathedral spire
They say
They say
They say

He has no brain
They say
He has no mood
They say
He was born again
They say
Look at him climb
They say 'jump'
They say 'jump'

They say
He has two gods
They say
He has no fear
They say
He has no eyes
They say
He has no mouth

They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd they say 'jump'
They say 'jump'
Watchout!
Watchout!
They say hey that's really something
They feel he should get some time
I say he should watch his ass
My friend don't listen to the crowd say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
They say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
They say 'jump'
Got to believe 
They say 'jump'
Got to believe somebody
Jump!

Jump They Say - David Bowie Cover (in collaboration with Phil McWalter, Faerytale & Rick Medlock)

From the album
"Say Goodbye to Ground Control" 
now available on Bandcamp
Mixed, Mastered, co produced by Russ Sinfield https://soundcloud.com/russell-sinfield
Blackwhole art by Angelo Atencio

Lyrics:

"how did we come to this place
and sacrifice our time and space
for all these riches that aren't real
distracting us from how we feel?

like a black hole that pulls you in,
we're told we failed when we begin.
who would discourage us to shine
instead of making us divine?

but we'll succeed collectively 
to make our own reality
free to live inside our hearts - 
that kind of freedom is always ours.

so give the TV back it's soul,
say goodbye to ground control,
take that chance and step outside,
and don't forget, enjoy the ride."
