Splinter 
lyrics by McTown 
music by Kate & Gm7 

VERSE 1 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
Daddy heard I was coming 
So he had to leave 
They say he headed south for some kinda job 
And I guess he stayed for something 
But who cares? 
I'm not God. 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

VERSE 2 
I was a learner in the family ways 
Learned to fake behaving 
Devil knows I prayed 
I skipped school easy but learned all my lessons 
Preacher tried to save me 
But said God 
had a Son 

CHORUS 
yea, mama lasted as long as granny'd let her 
Then the state said they could do it better 
Put me in a home where I wouldn't be alone 
And God knows...I wasn't 
God knows I wasn't alone 
God knows....God knows 

BRIDGE 
Well, I learned about love and about hate 
Forgiveness and hope 
Some of that had to wait 
I'm just a splinter, a splinter 

OUTRO 
I'm just a splinter on the family tree 
but God knows 
God knows....God knows

Splinter (Feat. Gm7 and McTown)

You can find this track also on Youtube where I filmed myself while playing this. https://youtu.be/s5ytA3aeu6w 

I just wanted to try out whether I could do a Boogie. This is the outcome. Hope you like it and it gives you good energy. 

Composition-wise: The left is a consistent 1/8th Boogie base line throughout the piece and typically consisting of a lower chromatic line and an upper constant note (e.g., C0-C1-D0-C1-Eb0-C1-E0-C1). The right hand dances over this with a partly Staccato theme that is loosened up by repeated Syncopes, Delays and advanced notes. The piece starts in a joyous C and modulates over its course to the minor third and ends in the warmer (and for me richer) Eb. 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90.
The Cover art was created with Stable Diffusion which I continue fuddling around with. I think it is already a far jump from my previous „Sheherazades Tale“ Cover art but still not perfect. In particular, I continue to wonder what kind of music might be played with the very peculiar arrangement of white and black keys on the keyboard.

Danc'n On The Low Keys (Solo Piano)

Piano - Andy
Strings (vst)- Helen

Helen thought the repeating piano phrase reminded her of an old fashioned treadle weaving loom. So the track is a sort of homage to those who laboured at these devices to create fabric and clothing for the masses. The painting is "Weaver" by Vincent Van Gogh.

The Weaver

Creating this tune, I was mostly focused on rhytmical pattern and spiced up the 4/4 Beat  with a small amount of Funk essence.
And... do scratches work, implemented in electronics?
In modern productions these are almost extinct.

This isn't autobiographical in any way, it's just a story...
forgive my singing and the possibly (definitely) over the top background vox lol..

The way the morning broke that day
The sun was coming up in such an ordinary way
The day they sent you away
How could we get that news on such a lovely summer day?
a mother lost in all her tears
a brother lost inside his fear
How could they do this thing to you?
It don’t seem real, it can’t be true

for me the days were flying by
For you the world was standing still, i wondered why
It’s the beginning of the end
All The time that’s lost that you could never find again

And it seemed like a million years 
But the day at last appeared
Where was your life when you came home?
The world had left you all alone

And when our mother died, it finally broke in you
I know you never cried, and if i were you i’d be angry too
I found your guitar by your door
You said that you would never play it anymore
Some nights i hear it through the walls
It takes me back to times when we were brothers through it all

You were always there for me
Even when you couldn’t be
I wish they hadn’t stole your life away
For some little thing, that’s not a crime today
I hope you know, good things will come to you one day,
Just keep holding on, I’m with you all the way…

Oh, my brother,  sweet brother
