Collaborations

Some time ago John Baker (@ldchool) sent me this great backing track he created and asked me to play a lead break on it. After I did we recognized that this track strongly deserves vocals. So I sat down and searched for some words to get some lyrics together and thought of a melody to sing. Then asked my friend Marcus to come over and sing. We all are very satisfied with the result. Thanks to John's mixing skills and Marcus' voice it turned out quite nice.

Lineup:
John Baker (@ldchool):
The complete backing track, mix and mastering
Marcus Heck:
Vocals, background vocals

Lyrics, leads and fills

Beginning of the End

It Might Be Affection

Gum

Grey ceilings
On a greyer sky
A backdrop 
To a future pride

Smother the feelings
Left with black and white
Locked away
With all the colors inside 

Walls peeling
Revealing the mind
Once unfeeling 
Now seeking the high

Varnish the bleeding
So the pain is disguised
Garnished and pretty
Are the colors assigned 


To you
By someone you knew
But the name slips your mind
...
Someone you knew
With a face undefined
...
You're summoned anew
With a soul undermined 
...
Repainted and primed
And remade in their image


Martyrs picked
From the production line
Read a script, oh
Line by line

Followers all
Contractually obliged
To be defined
By what they find
Yeah

Hoist the colors 
The Lords co-signed
The walls no longer
So black and white

Redesigned
As to fall in line 
Groom the bride
Now you're the brand new pride


Right in view
Someone you knew
But the name slips your mind
...
Someone you knew
With a face undefined
...
You're summoned anew
With a soul undermined 
...
Repainted and primed
And remade in their image


Glum...
Nowhere in mind left for you to 
Run...
You once thrived upon this Solace, now you're just 
Alone...
The paths you could have taken are now
Gone...
At the edge of your life, it's all now said and done!


For you
By someone you knew
But the name slips your mind
...
Someone you knew
With a face undefined
...
You're summoned anew
With a soul undermined 
...
Repainted and primed
And remade in their image


Glum...
Nowhere in your mind left for you to 
Run...
You once thrived upon this Solace, now you're just 
Alone...
The paths you could have taken are now
Gone...
At the edge of your life, it's all now said and done!

##PAROLES/BILINGUAL LYRICS##

Effacées, les douleurs 
Effacées, les couleurs 
Du temps qui passe

On nous demande d'être productifs
D'aller plus vite, toujours plus vite
On nous demande d'être des machines 
J'appuie sur Start et c'est parti

Et on s'en tape si tu le vis mal
Et on s'en fout si tu te sens mal
Si tu te sens mal, si tu te sens mal
Si tu te sens mal, si tu te sens mal

On te dit, faut s'accrocher,
Qu'y a pas le choix, que c'est comme ça 
Alors, t'encaisses et puis t'encaisses 
Alors, t'encaisses et puis t'encaisses

Mais un beau jour, tu pètes un câble 
T'as qu'une envie, c'est d'te barrer
De tout envoyer balader
De tout envoyer valdinguer

Pour vivre, vivre, revivre, revivre 
Pour vivre, vivre, revivre, revivre

Mais plus survivre, survivre
Ne plus survivre, survivre

Effacées, les douleurs 
Effacées, les couleurs 
Du temps qui passe

Effacées, les douleurs 
Effacées, les couleurs 
Du temps qui passe
Du temps qui passe

Effacées, les douleurs 
Effacées, les couleurs 
Du train qui passe 
Et qui déraille 
Effacées, les douleurs 
Effacées, les couleurs 
Du train qui passe 
Et qui déraille

##ENGLISH TRANSLATION##

Pains are fading away
So are the colors
Of time passing by

We gotta get higher productivity
So we need to work faster, always faster
We have to work like a machine
Just press the Start button and off we go

Nobody cares if you take it badly
Nobody cares if you feel bad about it

We are told we must hang on
There's no choice, it’s just the way it is
So, you roll with the punches
So, you roll with the punches

But one day, it drives you crazy
You just wanna get the hell outta here
You just wanna run away from it

So you can live, live, live again, live again
So you can live, live, live again, live again

And stop surviving, surviving
And stop surviving, surviving

Pains are fading away
So are the colors
Of time passing by

Pains are fading away
So are the colors
Of train zipping by
And getting off the tracks

Effacées les douleurs - Effacées les couleurs

Effacées, les douleurs - Effacées, les couleurs (BILINGUAL LYRICS IN DESCR.)

Rob Olsson: lyrics Vocals Bass
Single Use on guitar 

Lyrics:
You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

What you’re giving, only some of
What I want to take
Take it all for myself
Life turns on a dime

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Can we talk about the fact that
You want to be free
You’re capable at any time
Break your bonds and run away

You out in summer air
Prowling in my garden
Turn my back, you run away
Don’t know what you’ll encounter

You only love me when I
Do what you want me to 
Got this weight on my shoulder
Don’t want to be a martyr

Blooms in full flourish
Fold away at night
Out in summer air
Out in summer air

Life can turn on a dime
Turn on a dime
Life can turn on a dime

Blooms In Full Flourish

BEWARE THE MIND

This is my first collab with Rob Johnson from @fire-jam-band. And it was mind blowing. Rob contacted me and mentioned that his voice with that "Southern Twang" would perfectly fit to the style of music I create. And I had the idea of a southern rock ballad. Now here's the result!
I'm so happy with what came out of this idea after Robs phenomenal input.

Southern Lullaby

Southern Lullaby (with Rob Johnson on vocals)

This is my first collab with Norbert Meyer, @https://soundcloud.com/nobsmeyer.
We met here on SC and he told me that he grew up in the city where I live. No more reasons needed for working together on a song.
I had the idea for this ballad and he played a marvelous bass part on this track.
Again, Moni singing. The ballad I promised her some time ago :-).
And, also for the very first time, Melli, another friend of mine, contributed the background vocals. 
Hope you like this ballad although it's not the usual Rock and Blues stuff.

Another Broken Heart Song

All music written and recorded by John Baker (The Old School)
All lead guitar written and recorded by Andy Pfitzer
Mixed & Mastered by John Baker

I wrote and recorded this song back in 2015 when I didn't really have any equipment other than a DAW and a cell phone. The recording and mix wasn't great but a friend of mine and the first person I began talking to on Soundcloud (Rob from Fire Jam Band) loved the tune and did some vocals for it. I had the original version of this on my page for quite some time and removed it a good while back. I never had any intentions of re-mixing it, let alone, remaking the entire thing from scratch, but Rob had asked me that if I ever remade one of my songs let it be this one, so it took over a year of dragging my feet, because I wanted to be in the right frame of mind when I did it, but I finally have it completed. Everything is played almost as close to  the original as I could get and Andy Pfitzer helped me out by performing all the lead guitars in this because my original lead lines were awful. So a big thank you to Andy for all his help. 

This is also one of the last songs I used real guitar amplification for.

Just a good  old fashioned rock n roll love song!!!!!

Under The Moon (with- ZagWax & Andy Pfitzer)

After playing in coverbands for decades I'm now trying to record my own songs. Some of my friends (members of various bands I played with) singing. I'm doing the guitar parts and production with reaper DAW. Drums: EZDrummer, Superior Drummer (toontrack). Guitar: (mostly) S-Gear (scuffham amps)

Please check out and follow my side project Krakenmoor (TTM, myself and other guest musicians) at soundcloud.com/krakenmoor/tracks

First off, I would like to thank you for taking the time to stop by and listen to my music. I’m very open to comments and any suggestions you may have. Just knowing you took time to listen to my music makes it all worth it to me. Feel free to like and repost if you find anything you like.

I am just a small-town guitarist with a great love for music of the 70’s 80’s and 00’s.
