I began completing the lyric based on some lyrics that my late brother Russell had scribbled down some time back.  Years went by and I tried a few possible directions of taking the song.  Along came two budding songwriters called slaterr who completed the task by adding lyrics, melody and the great vocals and backing track.  We hope you enjoy hearing it.  We'd love your feedback.  This is the upbeat version; so let's call it Version 1.

That's Just PPL Talkin

Long periods on watch, with nothing much happening, are a feature in many lives.

While working on this I was reminded of some nights that I spent under canvas during our English summer. I'd stupidly forgotten to bring my sleeping-bag and the wakeful, shivering hours between 0300 and 0530 were the longest hours of my life, so far!

Last Out Till The New Day

with the congregation on acoustic bass
Recorded at fredrick street studios and bowling alley

Them’s the breaks 

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life intends
Would hope seem sweeter 
Would fate feel fair
To rob Peter
With no Paul to care

Without a doubt I understand 
I figured out what life demands 
It ain’t money 
And class is lame
What it is
You get to name

Them’s the breaks
The horse you saddle
Like a snake without a rattle
Dropping down from the sky
Like an anvil
You’re up yer life
Without a paddle 

Take what we want 
Not what we need
Steal a glacier for just a drink
Sell them rope when they sink
Screw the others
We’re taught to think

them's the breaks w/ the congregation

'The Abbott Of Crossraguel Abbey'
In 1570 the Dunure Castle was in the hand’s of Gilbert, the 4th Earl of Cassillis, who had the reputation as a greedy man with a fiery temper. Gilbert’s Uncle had been the last abbot of Crossraguel, and after his death in 1564 the abbey lands passed on to him. This was all to change in 1565, 
when the King appointed one Alan Stewart as the lay commendator to the abbey. This allowed him to gain control over the lands, buildings, and the duties paid to it. Obviously the Earl was not amused at this usurping, and 5 years later after a great deal of political fencing , 
the Earl had Stewart kidnapped and thrown into the Black Vault of Dunure Castle. Here the poor man was roasted on a spit over a well stoked fire, until he agreed to sign away the lands to the Earl. Stewart was eventually freed and outlived the Earl, who was killed after his horse fell on him.

Whether there is any truth in the story is unclear, but the tale lived on in legend. It is said that on dark nights, when the wind blows gently through the ruin, the hideous shrieks of the abbot can be heard, as he is he is roasted alive deep within the Black Vault.
Of course there are two side to this story. The poor Abbott being roasted over the spit on the one hand and his tormentors quite happily watching till they got what they wanted on the other. 
I have attempted to cover both sides of the coin in the musical interpretation.

This piece is based on the original by Mrs Rhymes introduced above, with my guitar playing overdubbed.
A big thank you to Mrs Rhymes for agreeing to release this recording :)

Some time ago, I needed to do some thinking about my DTM system and was reviewing my music data.  At that time, I suddenly noticed this song by Mrs Rhymes.  About a year ago, I think.  I had a preliminary recording of my guitar to go along with this wonderful piece.  Remembering that, I played it back and listened.  I didn't like my guitar playing, even though it was just a temporary recording for notes.  I don't think the sounds and phrases I used at that time match the original song.  Compared to that, the original song is still great.  So I grabbed my guitar and started recording.  A few hours later, I was in the process of uploading my freshly finished work here.

The key of this song is C#, and I think that what we should be aware of as a performance style is "B♭m/C# pentatonic".
I do not mix tapping, sweeping, or other fancy playing techniques in my guitar playing with this outstanding piece. I tried to keep the accompaniment very simple. This excellent piece, which I picked up as an example this time, will be finished with two things in mind: "B♭m/C# pentatonic". However, in a blues scale song, one song uses four pentatonic forms. Therefore, first of all, I believe that it is very important to be aware of "two things" on a daily basis and to practice guitar playing repeatedly.

And before we understand it in words, what we value most is the encounter with works and artists that we can continue to enjoy playing along with our favorite music as many times as we want, even ten times if necessary. Right?

GOOD MOOD (Lyrics)

Music/Arrangement/Production/Vocals/Lyrics by Achazia

I wonder where you are,
Can you tell it to me, from afar?
because of You you you.
My days are long and dark.

The stones you brought is gone
It's no longer a foundation to our home
because of you you you.
the walls has crumbled down


I hear my name
I think I am falling
I see your face
I hear your calling


The road that you once made
Has been washed out from pouring rain
because of you you you
There is no other way

Someday, the pain will end
but my heart needs time to heal and mend
for you you you
I will forever be changed.

Impromptu N° 118 « Towards the Victory » For Piano

Just a fun little ditty about acid. 

I, personally, am a huge fan of hallucinogens. I'm taking a responsible hiatus, though, and waiting one year after psychosis breaking to minimize the risk of a bad trip.

Only a few months left!!
