 Borrowed Shoes - ThePhaige and Jaime J Ross
***********************************************************
If i were to try to explain where this title/concept came from I'm afraid I would use all of the "characters" that SC allows me for a song description…and i would hate for you to get Lost in those details…so I will focus more on what the song is about…This song is about how the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence…how we think we would SO love to be in someone else's  shoes if only for a while. Sometimes, when we "borrow their shoes" we find that it's not all that it's cracked up to be and we quickly realize that staying in our own shoes is always the best way to be.

When Gary and I first spoke of this lyrical idea, he had a pretty clear idea of what kind of a "feeling" he wished for this tune to have…but we needed the words. So, given the title "Borrowed Shoes" he set me free and I started to write. Well, I am quite like a racehorse let out of the starting gates at this point and I just started writing…and writing some more…Gary had to rein me back in a few times as I was writing cool words but not exactly the words that we needed..nothing that "fit the vibe"…until i came up with what you will hear as the opening lines/verse…once those words came and Gary came back with the vocal melody it was ON!  We then, finished writing the lyrics together.

Gary came up with such a funky cool bass swagger which is what gave us the vibe we needed for our vocals…we did the back and forth singing thing until we had all of our vocals in place…after that, Gary got out his guitar and did the biz on the rest of this piece. I love how he weaved in and around our vocals in places…I am such a fan of his guitar work and style!!  

Once again, it was such a total joy and pleasure to create with Gary. I really love the vocal he is bringing to this piece..he found a different tone/vocal texture for each of his verses…each one unique and each one so totally cool. We have such a blast creating music…and, when we are done, it's not just a "new song" we have…it's a complete experience…with great memories and fun times…that, to me, is what it's all about…and, I'm so grateful that he continues to create such awesome pieces that we can sing on…cause it's much fun, oh yes indeed :)

***********************************************************
i put on his shoes
and did all he dooz
and waited to feel just like he
and when we became
one in the same
i noticed I really really missed me 

Shes the girl with the borrowed shoes

I put on her shoes
stepped outta my boots
and waited to feel just like she
together we move
I'm intah her groove
and now I really really miss me 

Shes the gal with the borrowed shoes

a rocker be he
 seemed totally  free
diggin all that i  seez
when i become he
our vibes disagree
and then i quickly run back to me

He the boy with the borrowed shoes

a rich man he iz
done well in the biz
living in that luxury
when walkin with he
true poorness i see
i realize the deep riches in me 

Hes the Man with the borrowed shoes

A model was she
true beauty she be
inside her mirror i so can see
that under her skin
the ugly begins
i'd rather be just as i be

Shes is la Femme with the borrowed shoes

a star on the screen
so loved and so seen
gonna shine just like she
red carpets she gots
high heels I have nots
I just wanna be who i be

Shes the madam with the borrowed shoes


That gal looked so nice
I had to look twice
Her curve projected in my mind
perfumes she did wear
my man hoods a flare
But I wanted more my family at home

He is the married man with the borrowed shoes

Enough's dont suffice
I must go get two 
I probly need more like thrice
So I've acquired all fours
Now I should be complete
But what was found was that one was already pretty sweet

Hes that dude with the borrowed shoes

we might outta stay in our own shoes

Many thanks to Jaime J. Ross for adding her vocals to this country track. This is one of my favorite country songs. Thanks to Riff Beach for tweaking this track and giving it that old vinyl record sound.

Frei Wie Kinder - Rock Flexible
**********************************************
Weich, Glatt und Rein
Heut Wellig, Alt und arg Zerschunden
Du warst doch einst so Fein
brav trägst Du die Narben deiner Wunden

Grau, Blass und Fad’
Versteckst was Du nicht mehr zeigen magst
Gedeckt sind Deine Farben
Aus Träumen wurde Kraterland

Flieh, flieh, 
flieg mit mir davon …
Lass uns noch mal wie Kinder sein
Verdräng’ den Schmerz, 
kein Leiden hält uns auf! 
Lass uns frei wie Kinder weinen!

Du glaubst Du bist am Ende
Für Neues ist’s schon viel zu spät
Du meinst das war’s gewesen
Im Einerlei Deiner Tage hast Du alles schon erlebt

Flieh, flieh, 
flieg mit mir davon …
Lass uns noch mal wie Kinder sein
Verdräng’ den Schmerz, 
kein Leiden hält uns auf! 
Lass uns frei wie Kinder weinen!

**********************************************
>> English Google Translation:

Soft, smooth and pure
Today Wellig, Old and bad scratched
You were once so fine
good you carry the scars of your wounds

Gray, pale and cool '
Hide what you do not want to show anymore
Covered are your colors
Dreams became crater land

Flee, flee,
fly away with me ...
Let's be like children again
Repress the pain,
no suffering stops us!
Let us cry like children!

You think you are in the end
It's too late for something new
You mean that's it
In one of your days you have already experienced everything

Flee, flee,
fly away with me ...
Let's be like children again
Repress the pain,
no suffering stops us!
Let us cry like children!

The circus performers
C
They don't need a script
G
They are who they are
D
Til the cameras flip
They continually feed us
Until we are filled
Until we can't move
And our bodies are stilled

Then they become
What they want us to see
The worst of the best
Is all they will be

Drama unfolds
They must try to chase it
For once they report it
You cannot erase it

a
Then they pack up the tent
C
And off they will go
G
The show must go on
D 
That's all that they know

STREAM ENTRY (by Sar Araion)

I thought I had it covered.
Then I got a reflection of you.
Who could you be?
when I am What ::
- in my stream entry,
I know what I will die for.

I seem to come through, everything,
but you remain behind me.
I can’t turn back, or I’ll lose Him ::
the impeccable side of me …
the brighter, the purity …
Deep, in the stream entry ….

If only! - that’s the Way :: to go …
If only in the stream entry.

I’m in it, the assembly
of a much greater loveliness;
at morning, and then to praise,
that light given truce,
and the specialness of moments,
if they are met right, yes,
they must be met right:
I know that I know
that I nothing do know,
only occasionally …
That’s right!
Only occasionally …

Sitting next
to the Great Man ::
That is most interesting,
being, between Him :: and me(!)
Him saying: «Hearers!
Listen closely, listen
from afar, to Him ::
that works» …
In the aftermath
of epiphanies: Oh’ glory!
Nothing is more
spectacular, than true paradoxes.
Splitting the unsplittable!
Right, within all corners …

Production Info:
I saw and heard the nice Open Collab version of Sar's song and asked him if I can get the single tracks as wave. 
https://soundcloud.com/sararaion/stream-entry-open-collab
I used Melodyne to get MIDI from the piano track and created 3 synth tracks and the bell type of sound with that, I kept the piano as well, but not over the whole song. Drums are Logics Drummer but I used the 16-track version to be allowed to treat each part individually. Then I added Yamaha Bass and several acoustic and electric guitars. The song was produced in Logic Pro 10 with loads of plugins from Waves, Apple, FabFilter and Plugin Alliance.
All thanks are going to Sar for his very good Open Collab template and for allowing me to add something to his magic! Cheers!

Old song l wrote, l played everything. Sung in Bahasa Indonesian.

SELANCAR BABY

I am just like you. Finding my way along…sharing my musical self with anyone who wishes to listen…and continuing to enjoy the musical creation process. To me…there is nothing cooler than listening to a song that didn't exist before you created it. 

I play piano…by ear…no lessons…no rules. I just play what comes.  I love to find simple melodies and listen to them grow…

I enjoy singing…and I thank all of the amazing artists on the Cloud that have written music for me to sing to.

I am mostly known for my lyrics. I am a writer. It's taken me 42 years to say that…but, that's who I really am. I am a lover of words and the way they can be manipulated to tell a story. The simpler the better…the more relatable the better. I have written many, many lyrics for Stefan (Rock Flexible) who has created some pretty awesome musical worlds for these lyrics to live in. 

That is who I am…

Good luck as you continue on with your own personal musical journey…
