Lyrics:
See the southern cross, my little love?
Trace the shapes in the galaxy above
Tiny lights in the sky
Distant giant fires
Time will pass, and the stars will age
And my love for you will never fade
Never fade away.
No matter where, why, how far you fly
I’ll be by your side like a constellation
A constellation in the night sky
See the southern cross, my little love?
Trace the shapes in the darkness above
Burning bright in the sky
Distant giant fires
Time will pass, and the stars will age
And my love for you will never, never fade away

I've had this idea for a while to insert a Reggae/Dub section into a Jazz or Blues tune, and finally got around to it. Luckily, this is both - a 24 bar Blues structure in a Jazz style, with 3 horns. As a bonus, I managed to work in a little tribute to Pink Floyd. See if you can spot the several references to the song 'Money' in the Dub section starting @ 2:46, and the subtle nod in the track art. 

Also, one of my fave sounds in music is hearing a trombone player 'go off' in an unhinged solo, bonus points if it's muted with a plunger  ;). I tried at least a very small attempt at that... it comes in right after the 'Dub' section while the sax & trumpet swap melodies from the first half. Maybe it works maybe it doesn't, but I laugh whenever I hear it. All instruments are played by me on keyboard.

***Also, check out the really cool take that fellow Canadian 'Big Al From The Grove' has on this track, where he graced it with his brilliant guitar playing:

thanks for listening!  

(just realized, this is actually track #100 in my SC catalogue, since starting in 2013. yay!)

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)

‚Scenery (feat. Ni!)’ is a polyphonic, genre-breaking piece. Mechanically percussive rhythm outlines, performed by prepared Pianos and analogue Synthesizers, combined with melodic phrases of woodwinds and brasses, build a hypnotic journey through the grounds of Minimal Music, Ambient, Jazz and Electronica.

EIN MUSIC & Power Death Panther Claw - ORO CIOK (dj baubau remix)

Hey Jenny, let's be friends!!!
you can still hate me until all is reimbursed,
cause all was odds and ends,
until I heard your beautiful curse,

Jenny, let's be friends!
Jenny, let's be...

Hey Jenny, let's be friends!
I promise that I won't share my nightmares,
but without an ear that lends,
how will we ever play musical chairs?

I'm worthless,
I'm worthless,
I'm worth this,

maybe we could sing a song?
maybe we could song,
we could sing it all day long!
maybe we could sing a song!

oh such beautiful curses!
OH!
oh such beautiful curses!
OH!
oh such beaut...

Jenny let's be friends!!!

Hey Jenny let's be friends,
you can still hate me,
I know that you do,
but my heart pretends,
and I know I could be a friend to you,

Jenny, let's be friends!!!

do you remember when the moustached girl,
got us trapped within a Shriner parade?
I'm still there,
oppressed by the dinky cars,

do you remember when the tattooed man,
tried to recruit us for his crime spree?
I digress,
Jen,
let's be friends,

let's be friends!

Hey Jenny, let's be friends!!!
and i really don't know what else to say,
and if the song offends,
I promise that I will just go away,
Jenny let's be,

Jenny let's be friends!!!
I'm making amends,
with this song I send,
Jenny lets be friends!!!
oh such beautiful curses!
OH!
oh such beautiful curses!
OH!
oh such beaut...

Let's Be Friends!!!
