I've been in love with making slow synth covers of songs, here's another late night version of a classic: Mr. Blue by the Fleetwoods, released in 1983

Lyrics: 

Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said no
Now his silver turned to blue

Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue 
When you say you love me 
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Proving your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue 
When you say you're sorry 
Then turn around, head for the lights of town
Hurting me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue

I stay at home at night
Right by the phone at night 
But you won't call
And I won't hurt my pride 

I won't tell you 
Why you paint the town 
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm painting it too
But I'm painting it blue
Call me Mr. Blue 
Call me Mr. Blue 
Call me Mr. Blue

Mr. Blue

« Autumn » (Part 1) for Septuor

Jacarandas are blooming. The storm bird has arrived. Must be coming into summer...

Jacaranda Time

After working with some very talented artists recently, I guess I needed to prove to myself that I could still work alone & write new things. Hence, 'Red Zero', which is not exactly house, nor dance, nor pop. In fact, I have no idea what it is  but I hope you like it and play it LOUD!

Play on Spotify now!

Red Zero

Searching for a clean sound. One of the first models of solid bodies that Gibson  ever made. The tone speaks for itself. An R8 for those that are curious
