Really enjoying this 🤍 Excellent experimental track Jeroen ✨

Brilliant synths sounds, and the vocoder sits really well, awesome work.

fascinating composition sounding like two different pieces folding and intertwining...

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME, STEVE!

NOT THE WAY THAT IT APPEARS
BUT THE SUM OF ALL MY FEARS
REDUCES ME TO TEARS

WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

I MAY SEEM KIND OF WIERD
THAT’S WHY YOU DISAPPEARED
THAT’S WHY I’M ALL ALONE IN THIS WORLD

AS A CHILD I LOST MY WAY
IT’S STILL WITH ME TO THIS DAY
I GUESS IT MUST BE TRUE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
THAT SOME OF US ARE MEANT TO PAY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE

PLAYING BACK THOSE AWKWARD MOMENTS
NO ESCAPING, NEVER FREE
ON MY MIND AND ON REWIND 
EVERY SCENE, INDIGNITY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

WHAT YOU’RE SEEING ISN’T SMUGNESS
WHAT YOU SEE, IN FACT, IS SHAME
ORCHESTRATE MY OWN DURESS
ULTIMATELY, I’M TO BLAME

ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES:

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
AND THEN I FREEZE

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

My Name Is Steve, I Haven't Had A Friend In 40 Years (WELCOME TO NO FRIENDS ANONYMOUS)

“Shifting Echoes” es un viaje sonoro que florece entre nubes etéreas y ritmos terrenales. Tablas pulsantes y la cromática voz de la armónica se entrelazan como enredaderas mágicas, tejiendo un paisaje en el que 4/4 y 3/4 se funden sin esfuerzo. A cada giro, audaces acordes de Rhodes emergen como flores exóticas, contrastados con delicados contrapuntos que evocan un reino vibrante y misterioso. Las melodías flotan como hojas al viento, susurrando historias de ecos vivos que mutan con cada escucha. Un abrazo místico entre lo clásico, lo moderno y lo desconocido, “Shifting Echoes” invita a perderse en sus resonancias cambiantes y contemplar la belleza fugaz de cada instante.

Shifting Echoes

■概要(overview)
断崖の頂上は極楽浄土などではなく、
たどり着いた人たちのほとんどが強制労働をさせられる、恐ろしい場所だった。
その中の一部、つまり私たちは「それ」につれられて洞窟の中を旅した。
別の場所に連れていかれるらしい。ああ、出口が見えてきた・・雪が見えるなぁ。
・・・そんな感じの曲です。メリークリスマス！

The top of the cliff was not a paradise, but a dreadful place where most people who reached it were forced into hard labor. Some of us, including myself, were led by "it" through a journey inside the caves. It seems we were being taken to another place. Ah, I can see the exit... I see snow. ...That's the kind of song it is. Merry Christmas!

■歌詞
「big santa」

細く暗い洞窟を下へ下へと進んだ
左右に揺れながら　歩くそれに連れられ

出口見えた　雪が舞うクリスマスの世界
トップスターが怪しく光る先　見える大きな影

bigサンタ　夢を見ている
切れたゼンマイに気付かない程に
bigサンタ　「誰かがやって来たようだ」


徐々に速度落としそれは何か語り始めた
「カレガ　ココヲツクッタ」
「ワレワレハ　ツクラレタ」

並べられた　数百ものからくり人形
トップスターが怪しく光る先には人々の影

bigサンタ　夢を見ている
毎日がクリスマスの世界を
bigサンタ　「誰かがやって来たようだ」

■Lyrics (translation)
"Big Santa"

We descended further and further into the narrow, 
dark cave, Swaying left and right, led by "it".

We saw the exit, a snowy Christmas world, 
A huge shadow loomed ahead where the top star shone mysteriously.

Big Santa, dreaming, So unaware that his spring had broken. 
Big Santa, "someone seems to have arrived."

Gradually slowing down, 
"it" began to speak, 
"He made this place." 
"We were created."

Lined up were hundreds of mechanical dolls, 
Ahead where the top star shone mysteriously, were shadows of people.

Big Santa, dreaming, In a world where every day is Christmas. 
Big Santa, "someone seems to have arrived."

When the evening comes
And the sun is down
Let your shoulders loose 
Wipe away your frown

For today was a good one
Some sadness and tears
Know at this moment
Stood up to my fears

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Might never know the reason
Or why it’s like this
All I know
It’s the life that I’ll miss

And when you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long
Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

Till I see you again
This ain’t really a song

 When you think it’s the last time 
Know it wont be long

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

Till I see you again

This ain’t really a song

This Ain’t Really A Song

lyrics:
I've been dreaming for so long
and never woke up back to reality
i never thought it could take so long
to learn such a solid morality

Thought i was screaming, nightmares dreaming
and it's time not to hide away
It's time for breathing, 
forget about those golden years so fly away

And then i opened my eyes and realize
that neon lights blinded my side
and it's time to get up my feet again
and regain what's mine and never let it again.

Thought I Was Dreaming

       This song I wrote back in 2000 and it's another one of the first songs Charle and I recorded together. Written during my bachelor mid-life crisis phase when I was in between marriages. Needless to say I was feeling alone and blue during that time but even worse than that, I was bluer than blue!? So that made me Blue Blue! I rocked out on this one a bit in the solos and Charlie sang it very well, I double-tracked his voice, and I think Charlie played some harmonica on this one too! I had my old recorder so please forgive the quality. The video is brand new, I put it together last month and played around with colors and strobes, so be careful if strobing effects bother you. The video will drop on March 1st.

 I like my lyrics here, they are very simple but to the point and I think it sounds ok. It's actually a very fast uplifting song with a kind of anxious lyrics behind it, so whenever you're blue just remember that I used to be Blue Blue! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼  

“BLUE, BLUE"

MAYBE I’M PARANOID OR A LITTLE BIT OFF TRACK,   
CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE,   
IF YOU’RE EVER COMING BACK,

I KNOW IT’S FOOLISH AND IT MAY SEEM IMMATURE,   
BUT THIS FEELIN’ OF EMPTINESS,  
FILLS ME EACH TIME THAT YOU WALK OUT THE DOOR,
         
I’M BLUE, BLUE,          
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,             
AS THE OCEAN,         
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
      
I KNOW I’M CRAZY WITH A THOUGHTLESS JEALOUS HEART,             
AND I TEND TO OVERREACT,   
WHEN YOU DON’T CALL AND TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE,   

MAYBE I’M INSECURE AND IT HURTS ME WHEN YOU’RE GONE,     
BUT ALL I DO KNOW FOR SURE,               
IS THAT WITHOUT YOU THERE’S NO NEED IN GOING ON, 
   
I’M BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE SKY IS, 
BLUE, BLUE,         
AS THE OCEAN,        
BLUE, BLUE,         
WHAT I’M FEELIN’ EVERY SECOND I’M WITHOUT YOU,
I'M BLUE.

When I waken from my sleep,
and you're laying next to me,
somewhat tangled under sheets,
my heart sings with ecstasy. 

Please don't ever let me go.
If you don't love, let me know.
Otherwise, babe, let it show,
and I will bask your love bestowed. 

For I forever only want you.

bestowed

So soon just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes so damn long
Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within
It's not as though, as though you really mattered
But being close, how could I let you go
Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
Oh, I walk out into the sun, I try to find a new day
But the whole place just screams in my eyes
Where are you now 'cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you
I know I'd cry, what am I supposed to do, follow you?
Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now
I just try to forget you
So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
With a careless memory, look out
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
Look out, look out, look out, look out
