A fusion of Techno and progressive rock music ,This song is a collaboration with the lovely KatarinaJovchevska.  She was kind and asked me to join her for this song of hers,   We hope you enjoy this one !

Hard Time  /  Katarina Jovchevska & Robert James

She sought love from the same woman over and over again and was rejected each time. Her answer is always the same whether she proposes the first time, the second time, or the third time. No!
"Then why did we always enjoy chatting so well?" And why does the feeling of my long-gone love never fade away?

No matter how many times I propose, her answer is no! (263)

Music  & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Going at it with mostly a single synth stem again....piano and 2 synths all being played at the same time. Drums, bass and vocal are separate.

LIVE OR DIE

Intravenous information
Way too much explanation
Getting to my circulation
Spin me round
I get high

I wanna know
You wanna know
To live or die
I wanna know
We wanna know
To live or die

From the sea or sky
It’s all the same
From the north and south
It’s all the same
It’s wet or dry
Feast or famine
Do this, do that, do something
Can’t be doing nothing

More and more…
On and on…

More and more…
On and on…
I can’t stop

It’s all too easy
I turn on the power
It’s never gonna touch me
It’s all too easy
Complete strangers
So far away
So far away

Needle drip drop overload 
Twist and turn hand it over
Play the game kick the can  
Spin the boy
I get high

More and more…
On and on…

More and more…
On and on…
I can’t stop

I wanna know
You wanna know
To live or die
To die
I wanna know
We wanna know
To live or die
To die

Live Or Die

Concerto N° 1 « Di Tempesta Di Mare » of Antonio Vivaldi

Dziś premiera bardzo wyjątkowej piosenki.  
Piosenki, którą w wieku 12 lat napisali dla mnie dwaj geniusze.  
Słowa - Anatolij Figliuk.  
Muzykę - Siergiej Pietrosjan.  
Wtedy, w związku z moim bardzo młodym wiekiem, nie mogłam oddać wszystkich emocji tej głębokiej piosenki, choć bardzo się starałam.  
Dziś w końcu brzmi ona naprawdę.  
Teraz mogę ją śpiewać, czując każde słowo i każdą nutę.

Deszcz. Jesienny znowu
pada deszcz 
Deszcz. 
I miłość nasza zmokła też 
Deszcz. 
Nie ukryć nam te rany już 
Idź, a ja zostaję tu wśród burz 
 
Deszcz. W historii naszej nie ma słów 
Deszcz. A ja widziałam tyle snów 
Deszcz. Powoli pada w dłonie nam 
Ja zostaję sama i ty sam 
 
Nie będę za nic winić 
smutny deszcz, 
Niech na asfalcie tańczy 
I w cichym tym rozstaniu 
To taniec pożegnania 

Nie będę za nic winić 
smutny deszcz, 
Niech na asfalcie tańczy 
I w cichym tym rozstaniu 
To taniec pożegnania…
 
Deszcz. I nawet kwiatom braknie łez 
Deszcz. Myślałam, że być 
ze mną chcesz 
Deszcz. Miłości już odleciał ptak 
Idź. I pójdę ja. 
Więc będzie tak 
 
Deszcz. Ucichła miłość w deszczu tym 
Deszcz. Z kim będziesz i ja będę z kim?
Deszcz. Przed nami został tylko deszcz 
idź powoli i ja pójdę też

Nie będę za nic winić 
smutny deszcz, 
Niech na asfalcie tańczy 
I w cichym tym rozstaniu 
To taniec pożegnania 

Nie będę za nic winić 
smutny deszcz, 
Niech na asfalcie tańczy 
I w cichym tym rozstaniu 
To taniec pożegnania…

Deszcz

I started with a guitar loop and then built up from that using a few brass loops to add panache.
The idea wasn't to sound like spy movies, but by the time I finished this little ditty, Marivi said, "It sounds like a spy movie". 
It must be all the slow horses I've been reading lately; I can't get them out of my mind. 🙄

Recorded on a mac using Logic Pro.
The original guitar loop was recorded on my iPhone directly from my Tanglewood acoustic.
I then looped that into Logic and began writing little keyboard accompaniments. Added some classic Fat Boy slim samples and called it a day

A drink, Dear?

This song I wrote back in 2022 and I wrote it while depressed about Covid but it seems to fit right in with the present! It's basically about the anxiety one feels when life suffocates you in any way. It seems everything has gone haywire lately! Grocery prices, the rent is too damn high, our government has gone berserk, A.I. taking over our music and our minds, on and on and on and on! The song was longer but I edited down for the video which just droped on YouTube! It's a very depressing song but I think I played some cool guitar on it and sang it ok! The tail end of the song is another song I wrote around the same time called "Sick Inside", I added it to the track to play over the credits in the video, and by the way, I am feeling quite sick inside! Stay cool everybody! Maybe it will pass?🙏😎✌🏼

“SUFFOCATE”

I SUFFOCATE,
I’M OVERCOME,
I LOSE ALL SENSE OF BEING,  
AND BECOME UNDONE,                

I GET DEPRESSED,
BECOME UNHINGED, 
MY DREAMS ARE ALL OF SEARCHING, 
THE OUTER FRINGE,
I SUFFOCATE, 

I COMPENSATE,
I DECOMPRESS, 
I SINK TO THE BOTTOM,
OF MY CONSCIOUSNESS, 
  
I EMPATHIZE,
I TRY TO TUNE,       
BUT SOMETIMES I LOSE FOCUS,
AS IF I'M ON THE MOON,    
I SUFFOCATE, 
I SUFFOCATE.

4. Paddy Brings Peace To My World  - my other grandfather was a Wellington pilot in the RAF during World War Two. He sadly died in 1943 so I never met him. His death left a huge impact on my grandmother (who never married again) and my dad. She said he was very loving and thoughtful and felt he would have been thinking about them right to the end. That’s the approach in this song. His nickname for her was Paddy. No idea why!  Mastered by RCD Audio. 
Paddy brings peace to my world 

Crete below us, and in this night sky
Angry fires around us as we fly
They want to stop us but they can’t win
Got to see the ones we love again  

Duralumin beams form a latticed frame
Carry and protect us from flack and shells and flame 
We’re just so frightened, five anxious scared young men
Just want to see our homes again 

And I pray that they’re safe
I did what I could 
Took leave and followed Anderson’s plans
and dug 3 metres into the Surrey soil 
14 pieces of aluminium, a small sump in the floor 
All I could do to protect them from this damn war 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world 

A publishers accountant , a chippie and two clerks
and a teacher all together, up here in the dark
We’re doing our duty, the best we can
But we’ve taken too much damage and I doubt we’ll land 

Radio messages, saying we’re on fire and losing height 
We’re trying to put them out, we’re all paralysed with fright
Just trying to make it back

And I’m imagining what’s next for her
She’ll be told at first that we’re missing
Maybe dead, or prisoners of war
But she’ll never give up on me 
That’s why I’m trying to make it back 
to Paddy 

Because 
This crazy world has lost its mind
Angry, cruel, insane!
Paddy brings peace to my world
She soothes and she calms and she’s kind
I keep her here, in my heart and my mind
Paddy brings peace to my world

All the time we spent together,
we thought we'd never be apart,
you tried to change me forever,
I made it clear from the start,

What went Wrong, It took so long

All i ever see, is the light shining in your eyes,
All i ever got, was a smile.
All i ever hear, is all of those white lies,
I think you made it clear.

I always thought you was so special,
We had good times and bad.
You wanted me to settle,
There were times i made you mad.

What went Wrong, It took so long

All i ever see, is the light shining in your eyes,
All i ever got, was a smile.
All i ever hear, is all of those white lies,
I think you made it clear.
