GETTING OUT OF THE BOX

Tomorrow On March 11th we raise a toast to Keith Emerson, sorely missed.   If you were lucky enough to see him live, like I was many times, Your Jaw dropped out of the sheer
brilliance !!  Not only just in ELP, but the Keith Emerson Band, 3, 3.2   and his solo soundtracks and orchestra pieces. The Three Fates conducted by Terje Mikkelsen with Marc Bonilla,  you have got to check that out..  He Said " I only wanted to be known as a composer"  in his later years. those who got to see his play with Brian Auger at the Sour Grapes were so lucky.  So here is my Humble Improv don't cringe too much  Peace G And I raise a toast to the Maestro!

I close my POTENCIAL BIÓTICO album with this contemporary revival of a philosophical song I wrote 19 years ago when my grandpa died.

Could describe it as a requiem for guitar quartet, 2 voices, rhythmic base & church bell (you may know the piano version at https://soundcloud.com/esemanolain-ruizzo/sets/piano-sessions-2012 album).

A mostly slow piece with lotta soul and no artistic ambition (but a little ‘Pros&Cons’ air to the end ;).

Letra / lyrics:

Miedo al cambio,  /  Fear of the change,
incómodo trabajo;  /  uncomfortable work;
molesto planteamiento:  /  annoying approach:
no me gusta lo inesperado.  /  I don’t like the unexpected.
  
A lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a ver las cosas cambiadas de sitio.  /  to see the things moved from place.
Ver a la gente irse al otro lado  /  Watching people going to the other side
es duro si piensas que todo  /  is hard if you think that everything
será siempre lo mismo.  /  will be always the same.

Ay, lo mismo ...  /  Ay, the same thing ...
ah, lo mismo ...  /  ah, the same thing ...
ay, lo mismo a mí...  /  ay, the same to me...
  
No he sabido reaccionar,  /  I didn’t know how to react,
atrapado en mi infantil ilusión   /  trapped in my infantile illusion
de que nada cambia,  /  where nothing changes,
ah, tengo que darme cuenta de lo que pasa,  /  ah, I must realize of what happens,
ay, tengo que salir de esta caja.  /  ah, I have to go out of this box.

a lo mejor es que no estoy acostumbrado  /  It is probably that I am not used
a las sorpresas de la vida,  /  to the surprises of life,
a nuevos planes que no había planeado,  /  to new plans I had not planned,
no me acostumbro a considerar  /  I don’t get used to consider
una opción distinta.  /  a different option.

Ay, distinta ...  /  Ay, different ...
ay, distinta ...  /  ay, different ...
ah, distinta a mí,  /  ah, different from me,
a mi pensamiento,   /  from my thought,
a mi forma de ser,   /  from my way of being,
a mi manera de verlo...  /  from the way I see it...

MANDATORY LONERS

We’re all mandatory loners 
Livin' as if we’re goners
Getting psyched up 
To go outside
No germ is irrelevant
Hands chapped like cracked leather
Life’s feather, increased treasure
Keep your head up you can’t tell whether
It’s a sore throat or the reaper.

It’s in the ether 
I can’t see it either.
Sorrow is getting cheaper
More on the shelves
That can be bought down

Run to your bible 
Read to see who’s liable
It doesn’t matter anyway
Equal opportunity life delay
Society sans community 
Must I explain
Let this be the shock that
Loosens the wedge and 
Lets peace and love reign.

Focus on your gathering
As much soap hands lathering
More alcohol been rubbing
Then gullet running
We’re all on the lam
This time its not from the man
Fueled by warmth and affection
Physical distance our only weapon

It’s in the ether 
I can’t see it either
Sorrow is getting cheaper
More on the shelves
That can be bought down

Here is a version of my song with the fabulous flute of Georg Boehme woven through. Thank you Georg!
Georg has lots of beautiful music on his page . I recommend a visit! https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme

We All Need Love (with Georg Boehme)

Mayday

This is my little sister's fault; she asked me to do a lovely happy little Christmassy song for her.   Obviously, I immediately reached for my well-thumbed copy of “Chords of misery and despair for songs in the key of Dismal diminished” - and here we are.  Hope you enjoy it Anne - sing along, pet!  :)

This uplifting little Christmas minor blues is based on the melody from a classic old standard from the ‘30’s “Skin Game Blues” by Peg Leg Howell but using a fingerstyle arrangement by Steve James from his excellent “Fingerstyle Blues Songbook”.

I can't blame anyone else but me for the lyrics.  Not even my sister.

Wishing everyone, particularly the less fortunate, a peaceful Christmas.

A Blues Consumptive

So, it’s time for Christmas.
Snatching up stuff that you don’t need, to hell with the desperate that do.
Give yourself a gluttony nosebleed, as you sate the materialistic in you.
You’re a trussed up seasonal clown,
Paint a grotesque smile on your frown,
Masquerade it all over town,
You’re goin’ down, down.

So, it’s time for Christmas.
Gorging conspicuous consumption by the privileged, of the frail.
Hot fashion’s mis-presumption, drags the spiritual by the tail.
Ya better get your stockpile built,
To bury your ethical guilt,
‘Cause you’re in it up to the hilt
And you’re goin’ down, down.

So, it’s time for Christmas.
Flashing Rudolph lights on your soul betray your tribal credentials.
The Christ can remain in the cold while you max your network potential.
Better get your story straight,
Soon be at the pearly gate,
Best not to leave it too late,
You’re goin’ down, down, down.

A Blues Consumptive

Secret Knowledge Of Backroads (Silver Jews Cover)

On nights like this
I hide behind a corner.
The arrow, the bullet, the locomotive
and even the meteorite,
they want to hit the cat.
Can't you do better?
I need a god. Better two.
Can't you imagine it?
I will change country every day.
Can't you 'put feeling into it?
Partner in your madness.
image and likeness.
Law of the most crappy.
The army of lies.
If it's to hang out
I at least
I plan to die one day.

NastiGi's well-crafted songs are bursting with mainstream appeal.  With solid melodies and extremely catchy choruses, they have ‘ear worm’ potential. Blending 90s Americana with their British rock roots, NastiGi’s trademark sound of melodic, powerful, alternative rock has already made them one of the hottest new acts on the London music scene. NastiGi's recent releases (So I Run, Love Your Enemy) have featured on some of Spotify's premier editorial playlists (All New Rock, New Noise, Rock Out, 100% Rock) and hitting over 1.3 Million streams and 600,000 listeners. NastiGi has been at the #1 position for ReverbNation London and Regional Rock Chart, and #1 for the entire United Kingdom  rock chart. 
Returning with a mix of raw energy, noisy guitar riffs, distorted bass and tight grooves, after playing two rock festivals, as well as securing radio plays and the video ‘Take Me As I Am’ is featured on IndieCast TV's, ‘Pottersfield TV’ in USA, UK, Netherlands and South America. Also featured on Lifoti Magazine,‘Metal In Italy’  & ‘Artistic Echoes’ web magazines amongst others , NastiGi returned with “Dude” released 24th October.  Taking influences from Muse, Royal Blood and Skunk Anansie, NastiGi wrote the single for anyone living their life behind a shadow.
Gianluca, the band leader and songwriter, said “Back in 2015, I had been living with the absolute belief that I could never write a whole song by myself.  In 2017, things started taking a different turn for me and I found myself as the one who was responsible for creating new material in my band back then, so I had to find a way.  And, by 2018, I couldn’t believe I actually amassed enough material to release the whole album.  Well, my self-confidence grew stronger each day, so I kept going! Today, it feels natural and so cool!”
NastiGi had three record-deal offers (iCottage Records, Cave music, and PA74music) during last year but still looking for THE right one to come.
Gianluca said “I believe that is only a matter of time until we get picked up by a major music industry label and see our music on the Billboard Hot 100”.
