Some Supra Funk to finish 2019 and head into the new decade.  Check out Stringburner's soulful funk bass playing and Pinner's nasty rhythm and lead guitar work!  We've done so much music together - over 60 tunes with each  - and this one just feels right. 

Happy 2020 to all.  Let's make this a funky decade.

-------------------

The world was too heavy
So we slept in a dream
And when you were ready
We began to dream
And I can't remember why we would wake up

There's something in the air
There's a message in your stare
There's a fire in your eyes
Rising to the skies

I wish I was better
I wish I could be there
There's so much beauty
That we won't have the time to share
And I wish we could stay in the dream

There's something in the air
There's a message in your stare
There's a fire burning blue
And it's cold without you

Cold Air

We've got to get this under control.  What lies ahead?  Please do your part.

What Lies Ahead?

I wrote this song back in 2007, when this single girl lived above my condo. She called the cops on me 13 times over the year and a half that she lived there. The first time, I was just playing an acoustic guitar at 8pm on a Tuesday. She once complained to me that she could hear me talk on the telephone. Come on lady, I'm alive. The cops used to come over so often, we started recognizing each other. I offered them in for a beer on more than one occasion. One of them noticed my Les Paul and told me he had one at home just like it. She had me questioning my life choices on more than one occasion, but come on. Can't make everybody happy all the time...

Screw Up

Can’t feel free, can’t feel at ease
Can’t stop thinking that she can hear me breathe
I’m trapped in my home because she’s sitting all alone
Waiting patiently for the next time that I screw up

I’m such a Screw Up
Hey yeah yeah

I’ll turn it high, I’ll turn it low
I’ll even try to turn her stomping into Morris code
Every time I hear another knock on my door
I get a taste of fear that she can’t take it anymore

I’m such a Screw Up
Hey yeah yeah

Too late too late the cops have shown up again
Too late too late the cops have shown up again
Too late too late the cops have shown up again
If they didn’t have cuffs I would be calling them my friends

I’m such a Screw Up
Hey yeah yeah

The silence of the scams, The bursting of the dams
The glitching of the time, The stitching of the crime
The rising of the few, The taming of the blue

The speaking of the ill, The creaking of the will
In sickness and in wealth, The quasi-rational health
The rising of the few, The taming of the blue 

The dotting of the I, The lowest of the high
The ticking of the box, The changing of the mocks
The rising of the few, The taming of the blue 

The linking of the weak, The evil pseudo-speak
The storming of the calm, The fire in the alarm
The rising of the few, The taming of the blue

The Blue

Echoes From The Past

... still not able to play sax, so I'm on a "wandering path", focusing on alternatives:-) -------- here some overtone vocals, acoustic & electric guitar (improvisation in one take) ... synth & drum VSTs and some drum loops for the right feeling ... I tend more to jazz, but sometimes I have to rock :-D ... The feeling of being able to go wherever we want - I think that's moving a lot of people right now - I had fun to express this feeling !
