OH BABY * [Live[ Copyright SCRT Record CO. 2023

While I was scrolling through the beats I had made on the MC-101, I came across something I created a while back. It’s an 80s-inspired beat featuring a JP bass and a soft pad synth. I've been improving my ability to sync my groovebox beats with my DAW. Although I initially found this process tedious, it has become rewarding because it pushes me to be more creative. While I could produce everything more quickly in the DAW, this method brings a greater vibe since it’s jam-based.

The lyrics I wrote reflect my commitment to staying true to my retro vision despite the ups and downs in life, making the most of the challenges that come my way. I also enjoyed getting back on the Boss IR-2 pedal—it made dialing in a tone much easier. I added a Celestion 30 to the speaker model, and overall, I really like the zone it creates.

Retro Rock Jamboree 

Keep on rockin the take
Might be no fanfare there’s never
no quake 
Rock on the song
cause I know it won’t be long 

Waiting for flight
They’ll never hear your plight 
The freedom to roam 
Go out explore without
The inner fear

I know what I need
Lifting up in all the directions
If you told me not today   
I wouldn’t think about you anyway

Rabbits luck dangling up my sleeve
Retro rock is my jamboree 
Straight to the top of the desert scene
Get with the jams and don’t follow the dweebs 

Won’t settle in life
Nobody tells me how to spend my day 
I gave it my all 
Closing the distance and it’s never 
enough

Rabbits luck dangling up my sleave
Retro rock is my jamboree 
Straight to the top of the desert scene
Get with the jams and don’t follow the dweebs 

Sonic roll 
Sonic roll
Rabbits luck 
Retro rock

Screens on the Eye

Caught up watching all the fallacies 
People believe what they want to believe 
Critical thinking is a dwindling 
currency 

Every AI bot post 
I swipe down and pretend to gouge my eye
Propaganda Tuesday
Algorhythms eating up my time

I won’t try convincing to
do it better cause I’m knowing that they won’t
Finding time to stay away 
Wish I could wish I could always for good 

We’re living the dream fallacy 
World on the edge taken over by AI 

I consistently try
Clear my mind
For meditative state
I remember when the world
Existed without screens always on the eye

Put down the device to talk to me 

I won’t try convincing to 
do it better yet I know they won’t 
Finding time to stay away 
Wish you knew me but I know your on your phone 

I won’t try convincing them
Do it better yet I know that they won’t 
Finding time to stay away 
Wish I could wish I could always for good  

It’s done for me a fallacy
I was bored so long ago 
I won’t cry 
When the socials die 
I’ll take what I have to offer and go home 
So happy now
and go home…

Screens on the Eye

Evergreen

Cruising through the retro village 
So lit up so lit up 
We took it up a level
Making outfits by sewing them up

Waves of evergreen through stormy field
We chase around in the meadows
Watching all the deer 

Reflection says it all
Excitement waves all over
Summer, spring or fall
They all can see the appeal

We stop to check out the gingerbread scene
It’s so lit up 
Candy store awaits and
Carrot cake is standing by 
 
We’re lost in the dream
As the storm moves over the field 
I send all the clouds away and 
Watch the golden fireflies

Reflection says it all
Excitement waves all over
Summer, spring or fall
It radiates the field 

I don’t know where I am 
Waves of evergreen through stormy field
We chase around in the meadows
Capture all the fireflies

It radiates the field 
Lightning streaks all over 
In no time at all
The buzzing starts to rumble

Kickstart eruption
Gotta move gotta move   
Take hold of the ocean
Save it all save it all
