Grumpy and proud of it : )
Including my first snoring solo. My first conscious snoring solo that is.
 
Has the whole world gone stupid
Is no one thinking any more
And why is everyone acting as if they were 4



It doesn't make much sense now
Maybe it didn't before
We're  all perpetual children now
Having tantrums on the floor

Grumpy old man


40 winks.........


You tell me I should cheer up
But I think, well what for?
We don't all need inane grins
Plastered across our jaws

Life is a serious business
Thinking is not a flaw
The trivia merchants would have us believe
That that's what we're here for

Grumpy Old Man

It was 1995, I had already acquired my trusty Alesis SR-16 "Dr No" but not hooked it up in stereo yet on my 4-track cassette recorder.

This track is one of the more fun I made in those days, thought I'd share it here. For the occasion, I properly mixed and mastered it in such a way to keep it's original character intact as much as possible. I did put *some* fancy effect to stereoize the vocals a little, and there is a subtle stereo reverb on the drums.. Things like that, but that's just to make it palatable for the modern crowd. This is after all an original recording, no edits, no overdubs.

Thinking about putting an entire 'legacies' album together. Would anyone be interested in that?

The very mature lyrics:

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked, broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

But I don't bear much pain
I'm not gonna jump no train
Every single hour every single day
Guess life is just a game

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them youth rebel rabble rebel rabble
Well I know better but you won't hear me tell
Everyone lives his own little hell
Let them turn around in their own smell
I let them feel bad if they let me feel well
It be alright with me

I know I only live to be
I know this is all you can see
I live to be just like the trees
And the flowers and the bees

Some say I am insane
Some say I am just the same
As all them you rebel rabble rebel rabble
Let live through their own hell
Let them live with their own smell

Salvation

Salvation song
Connect me if I'm wrong
Me I am cracked broken and torn
Haven't been clean ever since I was born

Some say salvation
Everyone, everyone...
Rebel rabble rebel rabble
Loser! Loser!

Against The Current

Surreal Delirium

A bit of positivity and optimism in a brutal and cruel world.

when our world turns mad
hitted by fanatics' delusions
when life plays its bad tricks , the bad days
i remain always positive
a genuine optimistic
an incurable optimistic

we all become blind and  deaf 
by dint of living as selfish
when they ask me if i'm "for or against"
i try to remain positive
a dreadful optimistic
an unreasonable optimistic
an incomparable optimistic
an unforgivable optimistic

Optimiste (Translated in English in description)

Song by Tony Harrell and Leland Scott. This version recorded at Buck's Place studio.

Soon

Cut myself up on the ground 
Blood swelled up into a lake 
Some were laughing by the gate
I told them to turn back around 
Embarrassed and down 

Everything will be fine 
Spinning circles in my mind 
Everything will be fine
Digging holes just to climb 
Out again

My fingers trace an old guitar
Trying to sort out the pain 
A voice that I can not contain 
I gave up and went to my car
Straight to the bar

would you, like you
if you met, yourself
you such ashamed
To be someone like you
you such ashamed
of yourself

Everything will be fine 
Spinning circles in my mind 
Everything will be fine 
Digging holes just to climb 
Out again 

embarrased and down

Everything Will Be Fine w/Stars Collapse Inward

 I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the lower frequencies and  only hear half of the music : )
