MUSTANG

Jazz / Blues swampy tune; recoded in the Greek mountains ... with a lot of New York care and attention. Danceable too ... if you can do the Foxtrot

Come Dance With Me

Soft Illusions Of Us, the second album by Jasper Brookes, marks a significant evolution in his musical journey, showcasing a more unified and contemporary style. This concept album delves into the emotional stages of a failing relationship, presenting a poignant narrative through its three main phases.

Stage 1: Initial Optimism and Excitement
The album opens with "Was It A Dream?" capturing the initial optimism and excitement of a new relationship. The warm, hopeful tones continue in tracks like "I Can't Think When You Look At Me" and "Give Me Love," reflecting the joy and intense connection of early love.

Stage 2: Changing Emotions and Shifting Dynamics
The second phase addresses the inevitable changes and shifting dynamics within a relationship. "In The Light" highlights how emotions can evolve and how sacrifices and new paths can alter the course of love. This stage explores the complexities and challenges that arise as the initial excitement begins to fade.

Stage 3: Bitterness and Resentment
The final stage is introduced by "Two Brides Down," marking the beginning of love turning sour. This phase delves into the bitterness and resentment that build up over time. "Killing Me Softly" encapsulates the harsh realities of a relationship in decline, where affection turns into anger and hurt.

Soft Illusions Of Us intricately portrays Jasper Brookes' exploration of a failing relationship, encapsulating the desire for connection, the transformation of feelings, and the eventual sourness of drifting apart. This album offers a deeply emotional and cohesive narrative, resonating with anyone who has experienced the complexities of love.

Jasper's musical style in Soft Illusions Of Us has shifted notably from his previous work. While his debut album prominently featured guitar instrumentals, this new release embraces a new wave-inspired sound. This transformation includes the use of more backing vocals with a larger range, adding depth and richness to the tracks. The expanded vocal arrangements and electronic elements provide a fresh and modern sound, distinguishing this album from his earlier work.

Soft Illusions Of Us

Heaven Help Me On My Way

This is a song that I wrote about my drive to and from work through 30 miles of traffic each way, five days per week. 

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT
(Ron Snyder)

I’M TRYING TO SHARE THE ROAD
AND AM ALWAYS BOXED IN
THE ROAD IS CLEAR AHEAD OF ME
EXCEPT I AM HELD WITHIN

DRIVERS IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLD
THAT DON’T HAVE A CLUE
ONCE A POKE ALWAYS A POKE
SOMETHING I KNOW TO BE TRUE

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

I’M TRYING TO GET THERE
AND THEY’RE ALL AROUND ME
NOTHING’S GETTING BY THEM
AND I WANT TO BREAK FREE

I LOOK FOR AN OPENING
AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE
WHY ARE YOU IN THE LEFT LANE
I NEED TO GO ON A TEAR

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN


-----------  GUITAR JAM ------------------------


DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

THE DRIVING’S BEEN TOUGH
LIKE IN A VIDEO GAME
WHEN YOUR TIME IS ON THE LINE
YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME

DRIVING LIKE YOU’RE ON A MISSION
IS YOUR ONLY HOPE
EXCEPT FOR ALL THE DAYDREAMERS
THAT CAUSE A REAL CHOKE

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN
CHICAGO TRAFFIC (3X)
IT REALLY GETS YOU DOWN





Ron Snyder - DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT

This live version of "Nothing Else Matters" is a poignant and powerful track that captures the raw emotion and energy of a live concert experience, serving as the closing anthem of the night. This rendition is infused with a deep sense of solidarity and support for the Ukrainian people in their ongoing struggle for freedom and independence, highlighting my passion and carrying a deeper message close to your hearts.

As the final song of my set, "Nothing Else Matters" resonates profoundly with both me and my audience. This performance is dedicated to the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people in their ongoing war for freedom and independence. Through the universal language of music, I aim to offer my support and solidarity, echoing the struggles and hopes of a nation striving for its liberty.

The lyrics speak to themes of war, loss, and the enduring hope for peace and liberty. The song features energetic and aggressive dynamics, underscored by epic and uplifting tones. This blend of intense emotions and powerful instrumentation creates a resonant feeling of unity and resilience.

Listeners can expect a profound musical experience that transitions through moments of dark introspection and hopeful resolve, echoing the universal fight for justice and human dignity. The live performance amplifies these emotions, making it a fitting and stirring finale to the concert.

Overall, the song embodies a message of unwavering strength and the belief that, in the face of adversity, standing together is what truly matters.

Feel the intensity of the crowd, the unity of voices, and the unwavering belief that, in the end, nothing else matters but standing together for justice and freedom. Join me in this musical journey and let the spirit of determination and hope lift you.

Thank you for listening and standing with us in support of Ukraine!

..as observed at a nightclub once upon a time....the whistle is as he walks away...hands in pockets...feigning nonchalance. :)

Time to Time

Outside

Hi, it's been two years of grueling physio trying to rewire a damaged brain from two heavy strokes. I am teaching myself to walk again and I've had to learn to play my guitar  from scratch. To cut a long story short, progress is eminent, I am starting to record my new material in April. 

I've renewed the concept and renamed the project to " Cristopher Walken's Grandmother."

A massive thank you to everyone who has sent me words of hope and encouragemnt in this challenging season of my life, it has given me  strength (and still does)  to carry on, you all know who you are. Shine on!
