THE MOUNTAIN

A re-mastered and finely-tuned version of this song from our fourth album

LYRICS:

You're dancing on your own
Such a beautiful song
To the tempo and tone
You can't sing what you know
So you try something old

You can't think why you're old
before all of your friends who were taller than you
You don't think what you're told
could eventually mean it's supposed to be true

They tore it up and poured it over you
And you swept it up and stuck it back with glue

They tore it up and poured it over you
Over you
And you swept it up and stuck it back with glue

They tore it up and you stuck it back with glue

Glue [2022 Rework]

Lyrics:
My love has walked past the alleys and drives
but she's home now, so I don't care.
She leaves a note and she never looks back.
Now her coat rests on my chair.

She nods and says nothing, but deep down I can't believe its true.
look at her gaze, might mean something, I just can't get her point of view  

..this love's like a fresh morning brew left on the wayside, getting cold.
The silence stalks every moment we share
and all the good times can't seem to hold.

Sitting back on the bedside,  
she sends another message on her phone.
Maybe a friend or a new lover?
She's just like a dog without its bone. 
  
Still night wakes into the morning. 
Her nice clothes and pretty wares are gone.
Perfume lingers, is she waiting?
instead I'm just hanging all alone.

PROGRAM NOTE
Everyone who lived through 9/11 has their own personal story about that tragic day, yet we also all suffered through a shared experience. As so much time has passed since that fateful day, there are many questions we continue to ask ourselves: can we possibly ever show compassion, forgiveness, or understand why this happened? How can we move forward? What have we learned? In Look To The Sky, I reflect on these questions and try to offer a positive way forward, while never forgetting those who lost their lives during this unforgettable catastrophe. Look To The Sky was commissioned by the New York Choral Consortium for the BIG SING's Ten-Year Anniversary.

TEXT
Some days we look up and see the light
Other days we look up and see darkness
On any given day, we have a choice

Eyes open, or eyes closed
Ears open, or ears closed
Hearts open, or hearts closed

Some storms seem like they will never end
Sometimes anger overwhelms, like it will never go away
Some sadness seems like it will last forever

We all want to be seen
We all want to be heard
We all want to be loved

What have we learned?
We know we cannot go back to the way it was
We need to move forward, through love and compassion

We can do better
We can be better
We can build better
We can love better
We can sing louder!

Look to the sky

We will always remember
We shall never forget
Look to the sky

– Robert Paterson

Toujours  Donner

Construção de uma simples melodia em C (Dó) dórico. 
A tonalidade do Bb (Si bemol) representa as memórias de um rei esquecido, que as tem em uma melodia em Dó dórico, ou seja, as possui com uma visão específica, representada pelos intervalos desta escala. 

A segunda parte é a continuação da mesma melodia mas sem tonalidade definida, uma pequena experiência de atonalidade. 
O que são as memórias sem alguém para as ter? Melodias sem tom soando no vazio?

Algo no. 10

This is the principal soundcloud channel for original one-man music by gd&themultitracks.  Mainly instrumental, the music was home-recorded in stroud, england using hardware synths & instruments and Audacity community software for editing and mixing the individual multitracks.  I've had great enjoyment in making (& listening to!) the music, but any plays or feedback would be much appreciated. 
The music spans a wide range of sounds & genre.  I've put a selection of tracks into playlists which cover much of the music:  rock, melodic rock, soft guitar, ambient, electronica, soundtrack, jazz & blues..
enjoy your music ... just play on!
