Very 80s kind of new wave feel to the vocals and melody, reminiscent of some of your influences, Ken! This is a slightly different flavor for you guys, always cool to see how you continue to evolve. You guys are like a machine putting out great tunes as quickly as you do!

Ya'll just keep on making great music--No exception here--nice to see some new wave added to the portfolio--:):)

Awesome tune Ken! I loved it! Great lyrics and vocals. Great retro 80's vibe, love the rhythmic changes!👍😎✌🏼

Verse 1:

Little girl on the corner, you wouldn't know it but she's made you her mark.
The fallacy ain't wasted, but you walk on by towards a future so dark.

Chorus:

Yu-ri is a girl we know, and she lives with second sight.
She looks so small and vulnerable, wearing black, dead eyes, no fright.

Coda:

She's visiting you, in your dreams, pulling in, reassure you it's right.
But when the day dawns, don't know it yet, your life, your future all lit alight.

Yu-ri (mittsu)

Well hello. What else can happen today to brighten our world? Maybe listening to some music? Maybe not? In essence, the song title: Nothing To Lose speaks to this. Today might improve after I post this song, and you get a chance to listen to it. How could it make the day any worse? (The song is not THAT bad.Hahaha). But enough of that. I learned something while recording this… sometimes, I need to lighten up on how much I press down on the slide (slide guitar). Give the string(s) a chance to ring out. Years ago, when I began to play slide, I could hear that because I occasionally would bump into the frets/fretboard with the slide, oops…. But in the same breath it is OK to lay into the slide when necessary, especially when playing chords. I also learned something about singing. My voice has so many permutations, not all good, and often the tenor and tone of it can easily change during a song… hence the choruses in the second half of this song. Haha. In a tender moment of a song my voice might go from baritone to soprano, which is hilarious to me. So I will explore different expressions of voice within the same vocal range and see how that goes. Any suggestions? I tried to add some homemade percussion…Big fail, so I’ll keep working on that. Anyway, hope you like this song. In other news, I have been able to do quite a bit of gardening lately. It can still snow here, so I only put hardy plants out. I transplanted a bunch of lettuce, kale, broccoli and cabbage seedlings I grew from seed. The lettuce seed came from seed I collected from bolted lettuce plants from last season. Ever see bolted lettuce? It can grow over 3 feet tall. Impressive. Also planted a mess of snow peas as they say. How’s things going with you? Hope all is well. Mark

Nothing To Lose

A song about that friend back in the day who never done a days graft and lived off the bank of mom and dad. Always plenty of money to indulge his party habits and a few more to say the least.
Nearly cost him his life but fortunately it didn’t and eventually learned a valuable lesson. He has his only family now and just hopes they are more sensible than himself in the teenage years.

7Saturdays 

V1 
Bank rolled by mom & dad 
Never done a days graft 
Maxed it out to  the max 
 everything you have had
(So many laughs actin daft 
 big allowances what a blast 
We envy you as young men
Out on the town pissed by ten )


Chorus 
Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night 
a 7 day weekend 
nearly killed you in the end 
And all you had to say 
is what a way  to go 
Wow Ho Ho Ho x2
Seven Saturdays in a row 
Wow Ho Ho Ho
Seven Saturdays in a row

V2 1.50 
Youth  is wasted on the young 
you lived it out in every song 
That saying doesn’t  fit 
it’s just a load of chicken shit 
still talk about them days 
Coming  close to the grave 
thank god  you were saved 
Still here for the grace of  age

M/8
It funny how life come around in a full circle 
Your Kids  are now all  teenagers
Your preaching for your mercy 


Chorus 
Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night 
a 7 day weekend 
Nearly killed  you in the end 
And all you had to say 
is what a way  to go 
Wow Ho Ho Ho 
Seven Saturdays in a row 
Wow Ho Ho Ho
Seven Saturdays in a row

Outro

Sunday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night 
a 7 day weekend 
Nearly killed you in the end

From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
Do you need some more cash?
A big old stack
Right there in your pants
Look at you, getting more than the next guy
A bigger slice of the pie
Do you like it like that?
Need more cash?
Look at your bad self out on that dance floor
Gucci sunglasses
A Louis Vuitton money belt
Fill your life with beautiful things
It gives you everything you need
But still you say:

I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

You're getting a bigger bite at the apple
MMMM, it's coming soon
All these things, that gives you more
Va-va-voom
(Va-va-voom!)
Costco size it!
You've got more possessions
Then a Pharaoh
In an Egyptian tomb

But still you say:
I need something more
(Happiness is where you are)
I have nothing left
(Let the sunshine in your heart)
I feel emptiness
(Feel the magic of the earth)
What more can I get?
(Do you fill up with things where you hurt?)
Let me rhapsodize
I am happy with my slice
5% of paradise

Need some more cash?
A big stack in your pants?

This song began with Christian's friend Holger Engel coming up with a melodic bass line and sharing it with him to use as a seed stem for a project. Having collaborated successfully with him before, Christian thought of Josh and decided to pass it along to him to see what he could build with it. Josh was excited to work on another of Holger's creations. His bass line was in a high octave on the instrument, so Josh added a similar, complimentary bass line on the low octave to give it some heft. He invited Ken onto the project, and after doing their little rhythm section give and take, Ken laid down some powerful, yet tasteful drums. Mark was brought in next, and added some very fitting, wonderfully melodic electric piano, which he added in the choruses. Josh also asked JJ to add some electric piano to the verses and synth to the whole thing, which he did in a very mind-bending syncopated way. Josh then added some guitar to the high end to thicken things up a bit.
  We then sent the finished product back to Christian to add his thoughtful, inspired lyrics and signature vocals to his song. This is what Christian had to say about how the lyrics came about. 
  "[Being an avid reader], I came along the sentence, 'We write and make art to show our wounds to the world,' reading an interview with Paul Auster (1947-2024). He died earlier this year, yet his novels are legendary. There was talk about creativity, manifoldness and what the personality consists of. 
  "I can’t remember where that interview was and basically I wrote the lyrics around this sentence attributed to him. 
  "I quote another writer, Goethe (1749-1832), with a famous quotation from "Faust,“ 'Two souls, Alas, housed in my breast...' That points in the right thematic direction in my opinion.
For sure the lyrics also contain other layers of meanings, much more personal…
I am also happy about the title of the song 'We Are Many'. I think Tez came up with it. I was unsure for very long, what’s the name of that song… :)"
  After we had it in the bag, we asked mix-master Tez to produce and mix it, so what you hear is also his creative vision for the project. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
 
Original "We Are Many" lyrics by Xian:

1
To me it seems very obviously
That my I is not a unity
Rather a bunch of personalities
I got a problem with multiplicities

ref
We write and make „art“ 
To show our wounds to the world
We write and make „art“ …

2
I am no self-contained identity
Cut off by other possibilities
No border guards set up at the boundary
Enforce the claim to exclusivity

ref
We write and make „art“ 
To show our wounds to the world
We write and make „art“…
„I“ writes and makes „art“
To heal the wounds of the heart

3
„Two souls, alas, housed in my breast…“
We hope, that if we do confess
To get rid of this fallacy
And collect the splits of personality

ref
We write and make „art“ 
To show our wounds to the world
I write and make „art“
To heal the wounds of my heart

out
There is
A consolation in round things
There is
A consolation in round things 
A consolation in round things
Oh, ohh,
„I“, „I“,
Oh…
