Gala Jive Jut - Theme from Beetlejuice (Live)

Maybe there's just one last door between your lover and your heart
Maybe it was forged from the most impervious stainless steel and hinged on the most expensive parts
Maybe you will wait your whole life for someone to unlock it
Maybe they will
Maybe they won't
Maybe you're wrong about which side of the door the keyhole is on
and that's the most important part

Strange Fruit (Billie Holiday cover) feat. Rescue of Bad Rabbits

I'm only really starting now...
Can't go where the good ones go, 
cuz they don't know their way around.
This is a daydream turning into nightmares.
I only really feel it out. It's my life... 
No one else is gonna know what it's about,
Looking through windows open to the wild.

There's someone out there in the rain,
on the ground tryna wash away.
Maybe we are all the same.
I wonder who fell off, brother, him or me.
Not waiting for the ride... I know the way, 
but don't know why I'm always running out of time.
Yeah, my watch told me I'll be there with you...
Soon.
Soon.

I wanna see you from the top.
I can't get through the forest though,
And the sun is going down.
Another time will come around.
Remember where you were before.
Remember who you were before.
Something told me that I'll be there with you
Soon.
Soon.

Soon

I really liked this song by Duumu & ÊMIA and when I saw ÊMIA posted a stripped version of it, I was amazed of how well she can sing and play live, it's incredible.
After hearing this version I decided to take it into my daw and started making something on top of it - this turned out to be one of the fastest and most fun sessions I've had since I finished it in 1 day after about 9 hours of creating this remix.
Hope you'll like my take on the original ;)

Sharpend

Duumu - Forward (feat. ÊMIA) [Sharpend Remix]

Past the scrap metal siding a cart built for shopping is full of bottles and cans
Where the water is treated nobody is needed and it seems to run itself
In the road there’s a man with a crowbar in hand getting pushed all the way down 
Out of Dogtown

The gnashing of gears is quiet around here, it’s done over drinks somewhere
But the scourge they have sewn is bigger than us all
A creeping plague can’t be paid off
Dumpsters on fire
Shoes on a wire
Devil’s a liar

In the road there’s a man with the world in his hand
Stolen land, breaking ground 
Down in Dogtown

The ones you defeated
The love has receded
It can’t be completed now

Dogtown

I first heard this song while browsing YouTube for The Tallest Man On Earth videos (I was just discovering him) - I happened upon his KEXP performance of this beautiful, magical song and I knew instantly I wanted to cover it. I spent hours attempting to decipher his fingerpicking code but eventually came to accept my 50% interpretation. I love everything about this song - the lyrics, the chords, the melody...they are striking and romantic and devastating. 

Thanks go to these exceptional humans for helping to make this happen:
Steve Drizos (The Panther): Co-Producer, Engineer, Mixing, Percussion, Viola effects magic help
Jenny Conlee-Drizos: Piano
Bryan Daste: Pedal Steel, reverse Glockenspiel, Backing Vocals
Jon Neufeld: Mastering
I played Acoustic/Electric guitars, Mellotron, Violin/Viola effects and harmonics and sang Lead/Backing Vocals.

Thank you, Kristian Matsson, for putting this piece of art into the world.

Where Do My Bluebird Fly (Cover) - The Tallest Man On Earth

A track from a lost album...

Around 2016/17 I made an album with my friends Chris James (Stateless, Run Rivers) and Jim Abbiss (Bjork, DJ Shadow) as the group Tojin Kit. Unfortunately the project got lost between record labels, stuck on the shelf, half released and ultimately disappeared into music industry limbo. It happens. So I thought it would be cool to finally make it available to anyone that might be interested via my bandcamp page, hope you enjoy it!
