"Sakura" means cherry. This song on cherry is composed of three parts: blossoms bloom in April, leaves and fruits grow in May, and trees grow more by rain in June. The theme of this song is that cherries have energy to prepare for next steps even after blossoms blooming though people care about only flowers.

(My song " SAKURA" is the newly mixed down version of this  song .)

Nananana Makes Me Feel So Good    feat.  Hans Albers on guitar ( Prod. Lillithe)

Short songster song about loneliness in the city I wrote 20 years ago.

Now I've given a jazzy feel in 6/4 to the unique strophe which has only chords E & Em, transitioning to 4/4 rhythm towards the unique 'refrain' line, with up to 3 different chords!

All but drums are 'organic' tracks: bass, pocket sax, guitars and voice.

Translated Lyrics:

Combatir la soledad,  /  To fight loneliness, 
nada fácil a mi edad.  /  not at all easy at my age.
Ser comido por la ciudad,  /  To be eaten by the city, 
combatir la soledad.  /  to fight loneliness.

Quiero creer que estarás en casa esta noche  /  I want to believe you'll be at home tonight.

Texte Français et Google traduction

Des mots sans paroles, des mots regard
Des mains qui frôlent, des mots du soir
Des mots en douce, des mots flatteurs
Des mains de mousse, des mots rêveurs.

Des mots de tendre, des mots si doux
Des mains qui tremblent, des mots de fou
Des mots de charme, des mots qui rient
Des mains sans armes, des mots choisis.

Des mots et des mains
Des mains sur des mots
Des mots et des mains
Des mots pour demain…
Des mots… Des mots pour demain

Des mots qui chantent, des mots de vie
Des mains pressantes, des mots aussi.
Des mots je t’aime, des mots baiser
Des mains qui traînent, des mots osés.

Des mots et des mains
Des mains sur des mots
Des mots et des mains
Des mots pour demain…
Des mots… Des mots pour demain

Des mots de couche, des mots de corps
Des mains qui touchent, des mots encore
Des mots d’Eden, des mots qui crient
Des mains qui prennent, des mots d’envie.

Des mots du cœur, des mots en miel
Des mains en sueur, des mots du ciel
Des mots silence, des mots bonheur
Des mains en transe, des mots d’ailleurs.


Des mots et des mains
Des mains sur des mots
Des mots et des mains
Des mots pour demain…
Des mots… Des mots pour demain

WORDS AND HANDS

Words without words, words look
Hands that graze, words of the evening
Sweet words, flattering words
Hands of foam, dreamy words.

Words of tender, words so sweet
Shaking hands, crazy words
Words of charm, words that laugh
Unarmed hands, chosen words.

Words and hands
Hands on words
Words and hands
Words for tomorrow ...
Words ... Words for tomorrow

Words that sing, words of life
Strong hands, words too.
Words I love you, words kiss
Hands lying around, daring words.

Words and hands
Hands on words
Words and hands
Words for tomorrow ...
Words ... Words for tomorrow

Layer words, body words
Touching hands, words again
Words of Eden, words that cry
Hands that take, words of desire.

Heart words, honey words
Sweaty hands, words from the sky
Words of silence, words of happiness
Hands in a trance, words from elsewhere.


Words and hands
Hands on words
Words and hands
Words for tomorrow ...
Words ... Words for tomorrow

DES MOTS ET DES MAINS (L'amour heureux)

Great big thanks to Bitzone for reaching out and inspiring me to make music with him. He has been very patient with my process and generous with his creativity. He is a real cool guy and I am lucky to get to know him better. Lyrics and vocals only come out of me if the music's and my muses can make love with each other. 

The cold long overcast winters of the Pacific Northwest Portland Oregon area and the current nature of my work have affected me differently than the Sunny California positive vibing Bay Area. Therefor, I see life differently and my soul says different things. But the late spring and summer is alive with color and joyous with energy over here, making me more well rounded.

Blessings to the many experiences, dimensions, and moods of life.

Lyrics:

I’m sick of this world
I’m quick to unfurl
I light up the wick
And picture myself 
In the underworld

There’s many ways to die 
And I give ‘em a try
Each time that I lie
And close up my eyes 
Kapow 
Bak bak

Nobody cares
No one hears my prayers 
All I bear is unfair
I swear that I’ll tear
Your hair out if you speak 
Shut the fuck up

It ain’t just my fault
How I’m under assault 
Blaming is your default 
You pour salt on mistakes 
To try and validate
Your perceived superiority

A piece of advice
And you move on with you life 
I don’t owe ya
A thanks
I don’t owe ya

Get me to see 
My responsibility 
I don’t owe ya
A sorry
I don’t owe ya

This is my demise
Don’t tell me bout my life 
I don’t care if you think 
That you care
I’m aware
That I’m a fuck up

This is how my dream dies 
Don’t tell me to realize 
Who I am 
Cause you think that I am
Someone
That’s not a fuck up

Cause I am fuck up just a fuck up
I am fuck up
A real fuck

Telling me to shut up 
Always telling me to shut up

Following a very rewarding collaboration with Keitonie (The Second Revelation:  https://soundcloud.com/kcm069/the-second-revelation-w-keitonie ) I thought I would push my luck and ask him if he would be interested in another collaboration, this time with a third guitarist ... I had in mind Andrew Borderick, a songwriter and guitarist for whom I have the greatest respect.   When I put the proposal to Andrew his enthusiasm quite blew me away.
	My idea was to highlite and contrast our three distinctive guitar soloing styles … Keitonie's rhythm and blues, Andrew's progessive rock, and my own melodic freestyle.   For the project I chose a piano boogie I'd written some years ago while in pursuit of a diploma in music (I got the diploma in spite of the song).   It's main use since then had been as a piece for jam sessions.
	The tracks laid down by Keit and Andrew were perfect for the exercise.   I hope you enjoy the excitement and fun of this Soundcloud jam.   I certainly enjoyed every aspect of it.

Lyrics:
	keep off the grass, if you smoke that trash
	keep off the grass, your mind won't last
	keep off the grass, and you can bet your arse
	keep off the grass, you should keep off the grass

	walk your walk, but stick to the track
	if you step on the lawn, wrong way: go back
	don't cross that line, keep off the grass
	if you can't read the sign, it says keep off the grass

	you can walk the dog, but keep off the grass
	you can do the boogaloo, but keep off the grass
	you can twist and shout, but keep off the grass
	and do the tango too, but keep off the grass

	walk your walk, but stick to the track
	if you step on the lawn, wrong way: go back
	don't cross that line, keep off the grass
	if you can't read the sign, it says keep off the grass

	if you smoke that trash   your mind won't last
	and you can bet your arse   you should keep off the grass

Sadder Still By Tainted Icarus
Lyrics:

And I'm made sad, oh by your world
And I'm made sad, by a girl

And I'm made sad, from the things you choose to say
And I'm made sad, from the ignorance on display

Sadder Still
Sadder Still

Open my mind, just like a book
Flipping page after page, for what I've overlooked

Sum of my fear and how it seems strange
Your pointing your finger, screaming how I have changed

And I feel
Yeah I feel

Sadder still
Sadder still

And I'm still sad, oh by your world
And I'm sad, by the girl

And yeah I feel
Yeah I feel

Sadder still
Sadder still
Sadder still

Notes:  A trip off the beaten path.  A lot could be said about this piece but sometimes life just hurts and from the first note penned it was about excising something dark.

For those of you stopping by for a second time to see the finished project... a heart felt thank you for the love and support!

Peace and love my brothers and sisters!

Sadder Still

This song is a true Finnish classic, originally called Paratiisi, and written and performed by the legendary singer/songwriter Rauli Badding Somerjoki (original lyrics  he wrote together with a famous Finnish poet Arja Tiainen).
I always thought this song deserves to be heard by non Finnish speakers too, in its whole glory. 
I happen to be very lucky to have met Ari Jaakko Savinainen, who wrote and recorded the awesome  music track, that finally gave me a reason to finish the English lyric I had been working on. It was not an easy job, as the original lyric has this very dreamy, magical feel to it. 
I wanted to keep the feel, ad the story, though ofvcourse  it was rhythmically impossible to translate from word to word.
We are quite pleased with this piece of work, hope you like it too. And maybe it will make you curious, so you will get to know more of Badding´s songs in the future.
Rest in peace Rauli Badding Somerjoki. You are always in our hearts.

Love-Krissi

I HAD THIS DREAM, IT WAS LONG AGO
A MEMORY, OF A LOVER SONG
I REMEMBER WHEN WE FELL INTO THE GRASS
AND AFTER SCHOOL IT WENT SO LONG

BUT IN THAT DREAM, THE WORLD WAS ONE
NO MEMORY, MAY'BE TIME STOOD STILL
I REMEMBER ROCK'N AND DANCING TO THE SHOW
AND EVERY WEEKEND WENT SO FAST

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD STILL
(break)
I FELT PEACE, IN MY HEART AND SOUL
A MEMORY, IN A SONG FOR LOVE
I ONLY HEAR YOU IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
AND TIME STOOD STILL THERE FOR SO LONG

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD

In Your Veins (Three Photons featuring The Gatsbys)
Thanks to Dirk Taubenheim for agreeing to help with this song. When I heard his Gretsch guitar play through the first chorus… I could not contain my smile….

Dirk Taubenheim (Acoustic, Bass, and Gretsch Guitars, Backing Vocals)

This song was recorded using Pro Tools and summed through an old API 8200 and 7800 summing mixer with API Compressor and EQ on the mix bus....back into Pro Tools.  

Verse 1 
You’ve got lightning in your veins
You run your best race in the driving rain
Pick up the pace again
So much to see, my friend 

Chorus 1 
Feel the light and the heat in your veins
Pick up the pace again 
So much to see, my friend 

Verse 2
You’ve got a stranger living in your head
Sometimes it’s the voice of love
Sometimes it’s just another black hole
Pick up the pace again
So much to see, my friend 

Chorus 2 
Feel the light and the heat in your veins
Pick up the pace again 
So much to see, my friend 

Bridge 
Feel the light and the heat -  in your veins
I hear your voice
it’s in my veins
It’s in my veins, again

Verse 3
You’ve got lightening in your veins
You run your best race in the pouring rain
Pick up the pace again
There’s so much to see

Outro 
In the driving rain…. 
Pick up the pace again
There’s so much to see
There’s so much to feel
In the driving rain.
