'Does The Flame Ever Go Out' was a question I asked myself recently whilst sitting in my music studio. This track was the answer to my question.

An improvised little "End of March Jam" which I played the other day with my Korg SGProX digital piano and Yamaha Montage, using the Rhodes V8 Pro Electric Piano sound and Scarbee Jay-Bass (Fender Jazz Bass; I so love this bass!). The awesome drum groove is from the Lumbeat Jazz Drummer for iOS ("8th Fields") with some tweaking by me. The drums are Native Instruments Abbey Road 50s Drummer with an early-50s Gretsch Cadillac Green Nitron drumkit (Spring kit) and a snare that I believe is the Leedy Professional 14 x 5 from 1920s.

This song was partly inspired by the awesome composer and pianist Stu Goldberg's song "Dedication", a song which I first came acquainted with through an album from 1995 by a Finnish jazz band Trio Töykeät. 

Comments would be more than welcome! It sure would be nice also if someone some day would like to try to play for example a melody over this track or collaborate with some other way.

*** RISE ***

Can you see the dawn arising
Can you see the light inside your mind
Can you feel it ?
Love will never die !

Be majestic like a phoenix 
You can be as golden as the sun
You can reach it
Nothing ever really dies !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...

The universe it has no corners
There's no boundary 
You are not alone 
Are there edges to the oceans' waves ?

So the grass it may be greener
And the rivers may run clearer
So - How'd you know -
If you can't look to the other side ?

RISE
Shine like the sun
Wishes and dreams
And watching them all come true 
You'll see
That finding your way
Is all that it takes 
If you can wait for them to be...

RISE MAJESTIC 
RISE PHOENIX
YOU CAN BELIEVE IT !

RISE 
Shine like the sun
Make real your dreams
Realize it's all just make-believe 
Take time and take space
Shape with your hands
Your life's your own
Your master plan...

Worrisome Heart

Come Fly With Me

A highlight from Reginald Chapman 'Accretion' (FSX-057) – out now everywhere: fsx.lnk.to/accretion

'Accretion’ is a double-album exploration in carving out a refreshing new territory in modern Jazz – one that strikes a balance between hard funk grooves and complex music theory, complicated arrangements and heavily headnoddable beats – all tied together with universally engaging melodies and textured with a “refined grit” palette to forge a sound that is uniquely Chapman’s own.

The album serves as an exciting manifesto for a step forward into the future of traditional brass music, and it’s one that we’re honored to help bring to the world.

Written, Produced & Arranged by Reginald Chapman

Personnel:
Reginald Chapman - bass trombone, bass trumpet, rotary flugelhorn
Marcus "Tennishu" Tenney - saxophone, trumpet
Reggie Pace - trombone
Andrew Randazzo - bass
Corey Fonville - drums

EVER MORE WEIGHTLESS

I find myself
far from home
nowhere to go
all I knew 
Has gone away

And I’m weary
from wandering
heavy heart
storm’s
On the horizon

Times like these
Shaky ground
See through seams
Light breaks through
The storm clouds

Steps grow lighter
As the rain falls
Remember now
This world
is not our home

Eyes lift up
Mind grows clear
I find myself here
ever more
Weightless

As we rise with each step
Find higher ground
Let go of
what held us down

As I walk
I see your hand
In everything
My thoughts
Become free

What was hidden
And obscured
becoming clear
good and bad
apparent

I let go of all fear
It can’t
Reside with faith
Clouds fade
The Way clears

When we walk with faith
We find ourselves here
Becoming ever more
Weightless

And I’ll never 
Return
To my old ways
I’ve seen your hand
In everything

Time is coming fast
the wait 
Is nearly past
We must 
Keep our heads clear

Eyes lift up
Mind grows clear
I find myself here
ever more
Weightless

As we rise with each step
Find higher ground
Let go of 
what held us down

I let go of all fear
It can’t
Reside with faith
Clouds fade
The Way clears

When we walk with faith
We find ourselves here
Becoming ever more
Weightless

Ever More Weightless (Music by Paploviante)

Introduction in English:

Last year, my wife and me bought a cottage on the Baltic Sea. It was to be something like our retirement home for the next thirty years. 
Unfortunately, this vision has so far been thwarted by our increasingly resentful neighbours. Consideration is a foreign word for them. They let their children play loud basketball as long as they want; they grill foul-smelling meat as long as they want and they party as long as they want. 
If you ask them nicely to be quiet, you will be dismissed with slogans like "We don't give a shit", "Move away if you don't like it" or "We'll do what we like".
In my helplessness and speechlessness over this dissocial stubbornness, I came across an old Beatles song called "Not a Second Time". Of course, it was composed by John Lennon in 1963 in a completely different context.
But its lyrics fit just as well with my desperate and so far largely unheard plea for more neighbourly consideration. - In particular, the lines: "You're giving me the same old line/ I'm wondering why/You hurt me then/ you're back again/No, no, no, not a second time“ sum up our current plight with these self-centred neighbours.
And as always with covers, my aim is not to get as close as possible to the original, but to transform it into a Karlit-O-Kay sound design.
The picture cover for the song is by German artist Markus Schuke.

Einleitung auf Deutsch:

Letztes Jahr kauften meine Frau und ich an der Ostsee ein Häuschen. Es sollte so etwas wie unser Alters- und Ruhesitz für die nächsten dreißig Jahre werden. 
Leider wurde diese Vision bisher von unseren zunehmend renitenten Nachbarn durchkreuzt. Rücksichtnahme ist für sie ein Fremdwort. Sie lassen ihre Kinder lautstark Basketball spielen, solange die wollen; sie grillen übelriechendes Fleisch, so lange sie wollen und sie machen Party, so lange sie wollen. 
Bittet man sie freundlich um Ruhe, wird man mit Sprüchen wie "Ist uns doch scheißegal", "Ziehen Sie doch weg, wenn es Ihnen nicht paßt" oder "Wir machen, was uns passt" abgefertigt.
In meiner Ohnmacht und Sprachlosigkeit ob dieser dissozialen Dickfelligkeit stieß ich auf einen alten Song der Beatles namens "Not a Second time". Der ist natürlich damals 1963 von John Lennon in einem ganz anderen Zusammenhang komponiert worden.
Seine Textzeilen passen aber ebenso gut zu meinem verzweifelten und bisher weitgehend unerhört gebliebenen Bitten um mehr nachbarschaftliche Rücksichtnahme. – Insbesondere die Zeilen „You're giving me the same old line/ I'm wondering why/You hurt me then/ you're back again/No, no, no, not a second time“ bringen unsere derzeitige Not mit diesen egozentrischen Nachbarn auf den Punkt, 
Und wie stets bei Covern geht es mir nicht darum, dem Original möglichst nahe zu kommen, sondern dieses in ein Karlit-O-Kay- Sounddesign zu transformieren.
Das Bild-Cover zu dem Song stammt von dem deutschen Künstler Markus Schuke.

Lyrics:-
Now is all we've got and

Wow It's such a concept
That now
Is this moment

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

Of light 
My friend
"THEN" is just a glimmer
of hope 
Again

Now is all we have
And now is over
Now is all we have
And now is over

Lyrics: 
You’re juste hobos on the road, with your guitars as only load,
They're just two raggedy men, lost in a world that don't give a damn,
But you keep playing your music anyway, hoping to find a better day.

J'ai des kilomètres de frontières
Sous mes semelles de vents glacés
Comme ces rivières en hiver
Où j'ai pas fini de nager
A contre courant électrique
Je n'ai jamais fait d'étincelles
J'étais tout seul sale pathétique
Comme une bête sans sa belle

It’s your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
Mon dernier train arrive en gare
It’s your life style but you choose it your life style 
C'est bientôt l'heure du départ
It’s your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
Cette fois je ne suis pas en retard
It’s your life style but you choose it your life style

It’s too late anyway too late to have any regret 
It’s too late anyway too late fot better day
just two raggedy men, 
Lost in a world that don't give a damn,

J'ai fait le tour du monde en biais
De long en large et en galère
J'étais un pauvre aventurier
Un Bob Morane de la misère
J'en ai connu des bides en ville
Sur tous les trottoirs de la Terre
Mendier c'est toujours difficile
Pas un radis et en Enfer

It’s your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
Mon dernier train arrive en gare
It’s your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
C'est bientôt l'heure du départ
It’s your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
Cette fois je ne suis pas en retard
It’s your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
Cette fois je ne serai pas en retard

You're just hobos on the road, with your guitars as only load,
They're just two raggedy men, lost in a world that don't give a damn,
But you keep playing your music anyway, hoping to find a better day.

I've got miles of borders
Under my soles of icy winds
Like rivers in winter
Where I'm not done swimming
Against the electric current
I never made a spark
I was all alone dirty pathetic
Like a beast without its beauty

It's your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
My last train arrives at the station
It's your life style but you choose it your life style 
It's almost time to go
It's your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
This time I'm not late
It's your life style but you choose it your life style

It's too late anyway too late to have any regret 
It's too late anyway too late fot better day
just two raggedy men, 
Lost in a world that don't give a damn,

I went around the world at an angle
Up and down and up and down
I was a poor adventurer
A Bob Morane of misery
I've had my share of flops in town
On all the sidewalks of the Earth
Begging is always difficult
Not a penny and to hell

It's your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
My last train arrives at the station
It's your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
It's almost time to go
It's your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
This time I'm not late
It's your life style but you choose it your life style choose it
This time I won't be late

Thanks Paul for this wonderful music. I hope my lyrics and voice do it honour!

Lyrics: Why? 

ieieieiei

The voyeur in me, Stares secretly
What’s meant to hide, Belongs to me
Nothing escapes, That gaze of me
It penetrates your fantasy
The shame you feel, Feel secretly
The joy you feel, Belongs to me

You can ask yourself why
What did you hope to find
When you digged into my mind
What did you expect 

You changed my smile into a cry
You don’t give a fuck, As long as you smile 
As long as you laugh, As long as you smile 
As long as you laugh, You don’t give a shit
About my cry
								
Ieieiei
My brain, a maze, you entered it, My thoughts wild jumping,
I asked for it, You like to touch
I was aware, Still feel the squeezes
Feel them there
Your kitchen table
A mess was it
You cleaned it, but I won’t forget
The voyeur and toucher
How they met

You can ask yourself why
It’s your road and yours alone
I just may walk it with you
But no one can walk it for  you 
It’s your own road and yours alone

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."
