@photonsea: Thanks man, much appreciated. 

Really enjoyed this one, Leland. Great job all the way around on this tune. Thanks for posting. :)

so i took a very different approach with the 5th track in this challenge; i had a rough idea for a big droney chord sequence, mapped out the specific notes for each line while i was at work, and then recorded it all in the evening. someone said it sounded like forest exploration music, and i can't unhear it

ISLANDS IN THE STREAM ( COVER )

Bring me a fully functioning brain,
a spine that can move freely from pain.
But I'll keep this old heart, if it's all the same,
It's the best part of me.

Though it's been wounded many a time,
I shall never exhange for a draconian kind.
Always open given totally free,
it's the best part of me.

Oh forebode won't you tell me so,
for the peace that I seek inside my soul.
Comfort me now in this hour of need,
tether my raw and benevolent seed.

Still beating strong after all it's been through,
I could tell you my woes unbelievably true.
But I'll leave it for now, maybe later you'll see,
It's the best part of me.

Oh forebode won't you tell me so,
for the peace that I seek inside my soul.
Comfort me now in this hour of need,
tether my raw and benevolent seed.

oh forebode

oh forebode (best part of me)

Andrzej Kurylewicz - Polskie drogi 
(Lyrics of my own, original one doesn’t contain lyrics)

6 topics melting together for me:

- my favourite jazzguitaris Pat Metheny
- my favourite Polish singer Anna Maria Jopek
- remembers me of our dog Jopek named after her
- the mix of a foreigner with a Polish woman
- I love the Polish sidetracks/roads, wandering through hilly landscapes
- the beginning of my time with my wife

Cover #AndrzejKurylewicz - Polskie drogi

All professionally recorded material can be found on my bands page - The Moment Killer. Please check it out! 

I started off as a lead singer in my late teens (and after realising my many limitations) I started playing Bass and my love for the instrument grew. After mucking around in various bands, I joined The Wick Effect in around 1988. The "Wickers" (or Weak Effort as we called ourselves!) was by far the most successful and enjoyable band I have ever been involved with. The Wickers released a single and accompanying video and had recorded an EP for Phantom Records, which never saw the light of day (although it might soon!). For various reasons the band split and two of the members formed Rail, who went on to high rotation on commercial radio with its single immune deficiency and the accompanying album, "Bad Hair Life." 

I sold my beloved Rickenbacker Bass & rig and used the money for a house deposit and eventually got married and had a set of delightful twin boys. From the end of The Wick Effect in 1992 until my marriage ground to a halt in 2011 I had suppressed all things musical and gave away playing entirely. I had lost my way as a person and one of the things that defined me was music. I took residence in a seedy one bedroom flat in 2011 and picked up a Bass guitar and looked for a group to join. Not many opportunities presented themselves for a middle aged bassist,  
Not willing to admit defeat, I figured that the only avenue open to me was to go it alone. In mid 2012 I purchased a 12 string acoustic guitar and a six string soon after. I had never really played much else other than the Bass and I set about teaching myself more than the three chords I already knew (I know four now!)
Eventually I got confident enough to post my first demo on Soundcloud late 2012.

So I'm still learning my chops and loving every moment of this wonderful learning process. I guess you can teach old dogs new tricks! So life is pretty damn good right now and it hasn't been lost on me at all that I have been the most happiest throughout my life when playing/creating music. My 50th birthday coincided with a bucket list moment - the release of my very first album "Solid Citizens from the Bourgeois State." The album was recorded with my band The Moment Killer which also features my son Dan on bass guitar. I appreciate you reading my epically long-winded profile and hope you like my stuff!
