Mid-Year-Revue -- 2021 MYR BEST of SC

Please enjoy with me the Reservoir Dogs. We are a Soundcloud Band and have already released some tracks, which you can find here:
https://soundcloud.com/kcm069/sets/the-reservoir-dogs
We have a very unique sound and it is a lot of fun to work on music in a band, as suddenly everything goes 4 times as fast, as 4 brains are working and 4 styles are coming together.
This song was created, as Tot. had sent me a drum synth track which was already epic and dark, when nothing had been added.
So I played a bass line and sent this to Ken and Andrea who immediately came back with their parts, which I then mixed and mastered.
I hope you will like it very much guys.

The Reservoir Dogs - Let Us Sing

Decided to go with something a bit lighter to brighten up the mood. Just keeping it HipHop, enjoy fam, the lyrics are below:
Released 3/18/21

            I Ain't Tripping
Were unplugged —-like wireless 
moving forward —-that’s progress 
feel the feed —-we don’t digress 
make it —happen —-pure finesse 
grooving cause it’s tireless
——-hard press but don’t stress
Just —-another level ——let’s call this one conquest  

——lines as —-light snowflakes 
rhythm—- hits——— like earthquakes
Bouncing ———when the vibe is proper 
Keep up now—-I stay on top—er
common sense ——ain’t made of copper
I’m—-in the mix ——-like Betty Crocker
another level ———————a ——————show —stopper 

Off the top ———-is where it’s at
unwrap this —————-gift RAP
hitting the streets—-it’s ——pure crack
Stone cold —-this trap ——TRACK!
Pool of knowledge ——-untapped
going in —-hard——we do that 
Better —-tighten up —-them bootstraps 
———SAY-——-“what the hell ——did Lou snap!!!”
swag baby —-The recap 
no snags—nah—we stop that!!!

Chorus
Different way of doing things———-like diamond studded earrings 
From sound —to vibe —to groove—— yeah— it’s all engineering 
Style —-skill ——technique —————-here——- my haters disappearing 
I’m all up in your ear —-guess you like what you are hearing

I’mer keep the beat rock in like a diamond let’s go 
ask me if I’ll ever stop the answer is Hell no 
hit the ground running—- that’s the —-quid pro quote
stop drop and roll —-cause it’s all —-touch and go 
mad skills coming through so act like you know 
and I’m rolling around the grooves like a bowl of Jell-O 
yo! —-level one up ———is the production studio 
better ask somebody ——-or just act like you know

I Ain't Tripping

Feel them marching on
For your heart they come
Put your armor on
For His kingdom come

Principalities and powers
Hope is in the darkest hours
Every days a war
Get your shield and sword

The wickedness in high places
The flaming arrows will fall

The war is raging on
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood
The hedge protecting us 
from what’s behind the veil

Powers of this present darkness
Still You light the way before us
don’t go poking your head through
They come and they will get you

The wickedness all around us
Bow down and take up your cross

The war is raging on
For we do wrestle against flesh and blood
The hedge protecting us 
from what’s behind the veil

The war is raging on
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood
His Word preparing us 
for what’s behind the veil

Through the shadow of the valley
Two edged sword is piercing quickly
Overcome the adversary 
We will stand and fight

The War Acoustic

THE OLD DARK BARK OAK MUSCULAR TREE
OVERLOOKING THE WHOLE DESERTED COUNTRY
NOT A SHADOW IN SIGHT COS NOT A BIT OF SUNLIGHT
SEEMS TO ME THE RIGHT PLACE TO DWELL FOR A FORTNIGHT 

IF FED UP WITH THE GUNSHOTS THE BLUE BLADES OF THE KNIVES
YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A SPOT TO SELF BURY ALIVE
THE OLD DARK BARK OAK SPREADS HIS OPEN THIGHS
OF HARD WOOD ROOTS JUST FOR YOU LIE 

ME I’M A SON OF A WITCH AND I’VE GOT NOTHING TO FEAR
I TURN INTO A RAVEN WHEN THE DANGER GETS NEAR
GETTING HIGH ON NO DOPE SEE ME FLY HEAR ME CROAK 
ON THE VERY TOP BRANCH OF THE OLD DARK OAK

THE OLD DARK BARK OAK MUSCULAR TREE
ONCE WAS A TENDER SAPLING IN A GREEN COUNTRY
GROWING LEAFY BRANCHES FOR THE BIRDS THERE TO NEST
COOL SHADE PROVIDING FOR THE PASSER BY TO REST

BUT THEN CAME LOVE I MEAN THE LIGHTING
STRIKING FROM ABOVE WITH DOUBLE ZERO WARNING
NO TIME TO THINK NOT EVEN TO BLINK
BLACK A FALLING COS THE WATER WAS INK

THERE’S A MANSION IN THE DISTANCE WHERE NOBODY LIVES
BUT I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND IT FOR THERE’S A BUNCH OF THIEVES
MURDERERS EVIL MANNERED WHO SEEK THERE FOR SHELTER
WHEN THE DEPUTY’S SPECTER IS RUNNING THEM AFTER   

ME I’M A SON OF A WITCH AND I’VE GOT NOTHING TO FEAR
I TURN INTO A RAVEN WHEN THE DANGER GETS NEAR
GETTING HIGH ON NO DOPE SEE ME FLY HEAR ME CROAK 
ON THE VERY TOP BRANCH OF THE OLD DARK OAK

THE OAK (Lyrics)

Here's one of my first recordings. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.
For those who may drift into a daydream now and then, you may enjoy my composition Mystical Dream.
Inspired by once having seen and being mesmerized by the Northern Lights.  
It has a Floyd meets Satriani vibe.

Mystical Dream (guitar instrumental)

Having a bit of fun on my take on traditional blues.
Playing guitar, bass and harmonica. Hammond sound and drums played/created with midi keyboard through Studio One daw.

My friends they all say, I’ve got to pay my dues.
I’ll never be no guitar man , till I’ve played the blues
They say rock is fine and it can get you by
But you gotta dig deep inside for those words that make you cry
And then and only then, can you call your self a real blues man.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got me a pen and paper to write down what I’d say
Picked up my guitar and thought I’d play in the key of A
But I just drew a blank, and the words just wouldn’t come.
Maybe the mood just wasn’t right, so had me a shot of rum.
That was a big mistake,  now I can’t even play my guitar.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

I’m thinking maybe, I may of had it easy.
Nothing too troublesome, and nothing to drive me crazy
Life has been pretty good, really can’t complain.
So many have had it bad and can tell you all about the about pain.
Take a look around you and you’ll see you’ve had it pretty good.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Got my rhythm down but I have no words to sing
Seems you got to pay the price, for the blues to be your thing
Lose your girl, lose you job and maybe even lose your mind.
Words will start to flow, when you’re down and out you’ll find
And then and only then, you start to sing the blues.
But these are Not Quite the Blues

Not Quite The Blues

LYRICS
You Promised Me – by Lorraine Baron

Verse 1
Your moondust settled in my eyes
Your magic took me by surprise
You said you’d move heaven and earth
And I believed what I preferred

Chorus
You promised me the stars
You said the world was ours
You promised me the moon
I only wanted you

Verse 2
You said you needed some more time
I thought I’d maybe heard that line
You said love comes to those who wait
And now I fear what trust erased

Bridge
Why can’t we have it all
The splendid and the small
Why can’t we just believe
In magic guaranteed

You Promised Me

I’m happy to announce the release of RockCounsellor’s latest song, ‘The Privilege’, produced in collaboration with Richard Campbell at Orpheus Studio, who once again has used his wizardry and made his magic, so I can so proudly release another song from my head out into the world. 

The song is about the privilege of experiencing someone else’s vulnerability. It’s inspired by the access my work gives me to people’s inner worlds, which are sometimes very much at odds with how they present themselves to the outside world.

When so many of us are isolated from direct contact with friends and relatives, being vulnerable and sharing our fears and anxieties with our loved-ones can be so helpful in coping with the uncertainty we are facing.

It can also be helpful to listen to music! 

Stay safe and well.

Thoby

So enjoy collaborating with others, like my good friend, Lawrence Farr. It is enjoyable because they do all the work! Lawrence had this posted for a bit on his side of the cloud of sound.  I just want to put it up on mine so I can listen to it easily. Love me that Do Wop. And, thanks a million Lawrence!  My friend Nicky on Fiverr played guitar!

Many thanks to Monkey Blood Lowdown, third world renowned multi-instrumentalist, board certified licensed ninja, expert nerf dart marksman, and retired Kawasaki mechanic(https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown?ref=clipboard). This is his tune, and he plays the drums and organ. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to add the rhythm and lead guitars to this rendition. You should check out his original (https://soundcloud.com/monkeybloodlowdown/long-phase-1?ref=clipboard), which I favor over this rendition; I won't pretend to have improved it. I would be much obliged if you gave that one a spin. 

Also check out the work Monkey Blood Lowdown does with this oddball groove band, one of my favorite bands: https://soundcloud.com/user-291890055?ref=clipboard
