Everything about this swings in a beautiful way, and sounds 100% rich

Fabulous track, great sound, performances and spacious mix…superb collab!!!

Oh cool, this really swings. I like the conversation between these instruments. So cool

A Classic in the making….loving that walking bass!!

Agua Fresca

El otro día pensando en cambiar
esta rutina de tanto esperar
tomé la ruta y me fui a manejar
lejos de esta gran ciudad

llegué a un pueblito y me puse a mirar
un cartel dice aquí no hay un hospital
pregunto como no hay enfermedad
Es el agua del lugar, y me das.

Agua fresca de un canal,
que viene de un manantial,
quien la toma no se enferma,
no se muere, no se va.

Los de este pueblo no tienen maldad
no hay campo santo, si hay vitalidad
vivir mil años es lo más normal
es al agua del lugar,
y me das.

Agua fresca de un canal
que viene de un manantial
quien la toma no se enferma,
no se muere, no se va.

No hay policías, no hay autoridad
no hay papeleos, si no hay tribunal.
y si hay conflictos se van a brindar
con agua del manantial.
Y me das.

Agua fresca de un canal
que viene de un manantial
quien la toma no se enferma,
no se muere, no se va.

TOUJOURS TU SERAS

The Day The World Stopped

I don't exactly know why I've been on such a cover streak lately, although, I suspect laziness is at least a significant suspect. Anyway, I like to pick things that are either significant to me in some way, a stretch or can be stretched into something else, or something out of my box. This one crept in to my world through some mention in the NYTimes. If I remember correctly it was positive. I looked for something different to cover the other day and typed in current hits and recognized this. I decided to do a fairly straight up cover and let my own style come in by just doing it fairly straight. Here's a few comments on the piece that came to mind as I was doing it:

Like most pop music these days it's one chord progression repeated over and over with the parts separated by different melodies and arraignments.

Ms. Carpenter's lyrics are kind of strange to me ie. "That's that me espresso". She does some interesting things rhythmically with her vocals so they don't sound awkward but reading them as I sung and  getting her phrasing down was a challenge. Also as a side note, it's interesting how the theme of taking advantage of the opposite sex is seen in pop music differently between males and females. One of her better lines "I know I Mountain Dew it for ya" is I think quite clever, cheeky and funny but probably would less likely be a line in a summer light pop hit from a male singer.

This is less about the music itself but the conceptual framing. I like the concept in the beginning and the end of turning the song into an old classic hit playing on the radio in the background, perhaps at the beach. It's nostalgic in the context of the song itself but also hearing actual music, playing in the background through a small cheap radio, while sitting on the beach is itself a bit of nostalgia. 

As a side note, I learned the track by listening to the YouTube video. I as I was listening I was reading many of the comments from Ms. Carpenter's much younger(than me) fans. The song, in my opinion is a fairly obvious combination of 70's Disco, 90's girl pop and a modern pop sheen. I was surprised by comments placing the song as homage to 60's or 80's pop. Probably just youthful ignorance but.
 if there's something more to it, I'm interested.

I Look To The Other Peoples

Nostromo - I Look To The Other Peoples

¡¡ Warning: very old track with very LO-FI sound !!

A tribute to the heavy origins I wrote on July 1994: two alternating riffs and a 3rd theme for a rest; little by little encouraging voice and of course, distortion on rhythmic and solo guitars.

Tributo al jevi original que escribí en julio de 1994: dos riffs alternados y un 3er motivo para ir descansando, voz que poco a poco se va encendiendo, y claro, distorsión en rítmica y solista.

Lyrics/Letra:

Casi he olvidado el tiempo
 en que podía decirte que no.

He tirado mi cigarro a la noche
y no quiere apagarse,
para seguirla viendo desnuda
a la luz de la calle.

Si hay sí,
pero ni la piscina,
ni los tragos de Passport,
pudieron apagar...
...mi cuerpo, su cuerpo, ¡qué locura! (bis)

Casi he olvidado el tiempo
en que podía decirte que no.

Y ahora vuelvo a estar atrapado
de lo que pude escapar,
ahora vuelvo a ser esclavo
de lo que pude olvidar...
...de ti, de tu cuerpo, nena, ¡qué locura! (bis)

Cuando podía decirte que no (Si hay sí)

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."
