2018 Year End Roundup Of Great Music

Challenge was to make one of my shorter songs with one of my longer lyrics, so I 'had' to craft it into an amalgam of 9/4 and 4/4 signatures. Thus, it may feel crazy on verses but I hope also catchy on refrains.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

Sólo pido no tener deseos (Ya no quiero imaginar)  /  I ask only not to have desires (I don’t want to imagine anymore)

¿Puedes explicarme qué es lo que me pasa?  /  Can you tell me what happens to me?
Señor, llévate de mí esta confusión.  /  Lord, take away this confusion.
Quítame el don de la inteligencia,  /  Take the gift of intelligence from me,
pues si no pensara tanto, sería feliz.  /  because if I didn’t think so much, I would be happy.

Siento que este mundo me es extraño,  /  I feel this world is strange,
estoy a disgusto con mis sentidos.  /  I get displeasure from my senses.
No puedo comprender su funcionamiento,  /  I cannot understand their functioning,
ni siquiera amoldarme a él.  /  nor even get used to it.

Sólo pido no tener deseos,  /  I ask only not to have desires,
ya no quiero imaginarme nada.  /  I don’t want to imagine anything anymore.

Esta situación siempre es pasajera,  /  This situation is always temporary,
pero se repite una y otra vez.  /  but repeats itself again and again.
Este malestar de cuerpo y alma  /  This discomfort of soul and body
me hace desear dejar de ser.  /  makes me wish to stop being.  

Pienso entonces en todos los que me quieren,  /  Then I think of all those who love me,
o al menos en los que a veces lo parecen…  /  or at least about those who sometimes seem to…
¿Por qué es tan difícil la coexistencia  /  Why is coexistence so difficult
en medio de una sociedad inteligente?  /  in an intelligent society?

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

No deberías dejar pensar a algo imperfecto,  /  You should not allow something imperfect to think,
sino limitarlo a cumplir su función social.  /  but limit it to fulfilling its social role.
Sólo quiero ser un engranaje más, señor,  /  I only want to be one more cog, Lord,
en tu rebaño de almas, sin preguntas.  /  in your flock of souls, without questions.

Esta vida que me has dado, señor,  /  This life you have given me, Lord,
me tortura, de modos insospechados,  /  tortures me, in unsuspected manners,
a buscarle un sentido a mis dudas,  /  to look for a sense to my doubts,
lo cual, tal vez, sea precisamente su fin!  /  which, maybe, is precisely its purpose!

Sólo pido…  /  I ask only…

My songs are like buses.......nothing for ages, then a bunch in quick succession!
When Hiroshi hinted to me that he would love to collab, I was delighted, as I very much admire his work! In due course I sent him a song, which he liked and said would be fun to work on.
Usually I keep my acoustic in my songs, as it is the backbone, keeping the rhythm and vibe. Hiroshi has replaced this with a fantastic bass which stays true to the original acoustic riff. From there he meticulously built it up and had the unenviable task of having to deal with my complex vocals. He said it was quite a challenge to organise the instrumentation , especially due to its unfamiliar combination between melody lines and chords, and to the unusual time signature at the beginning.
Thankfully he enjoyed the task and threw himself wholeheartedly in to it, which I think you will hear for yourself, as it is a powerful and dynamic  piece of work....and the guitar solo Epic!!
Thanks so much Hiroshi for all of your hard work! Listen to more of his fantastic work soundcloud.com/aerogene

We Don't Do Formal-Feat: Dominiquefrench

A cover (okay, let's call it a "remake") of the fabulous late-70s "E la luna bussò" by Loredana Berté. I used to play this one with a band a few years ago, and I immediately fell in love with the lyrics.

Obviously I have maneuvered myself out of the comfort zone once more --- apart from the usual walks on very thin ice with singing and trying to get meaningful notes out of a guitar, this time it is about Reggae and strings programming (both things that I have tried to avoid so far in my musical life). Anyway, if you think that violins and cellos do not fit to Reggae: yes, you are right.

Special thanks to Tyler Cressman for having proof-read the lyrics translation!

And the moon knock-knocked on the gloomy gates of darkness
"Come on let me in!" -- but they replied "no!"
So the moon went knockin' on the place where there was silence
But a rude voice yelled: "You're late and time's already up"
So the moon left the windows open and she went to find and see

To find and do something for the time being
After having shed some tears
About another "no", about some other "no"
From the ocean (you're nothing but a pond, man!)

And the moon knock-knocked on shaded glasses
But the look behind them didn't notice her
So the moon went and tried "knock-knock-knock-knock-knock" on a pool party
"Strictly members only, no exception for moons!"
So she rolled over champagne and caviar and she went to find and see

To find and do something for the time being
After having shed some tears
About another "no", about some other "no"
From a waiter
Oh no

But then down there, almost by chance
Closer to the sidewalk, where what you see is real
But then down there, where no moon needs to knock
Between the lashes of a child, to let him fall asleep
And then down there, between tatters, tears and love
Where luck is luxury: there we need you, moon!
And yes down there, almost by chance
Closer to the sidewalk, where what you see is real
Between the lashes of a child, to let him fall asleep
Between tatters, tears and rags, to let us fall in love:
there we need you, moon!

(ad libs)
Sidewalk boogie
(more ad libs)

And The Moon Knock-Knocked

ABOUT YOU BIG BIRD

There’s a smoky trail across the sky
Behind you big bird as you fly
I’m running waving both hands free
But my mommas come to capture me

My mom she’s got this thing you see
About you bird we don’t agree
She don’t like your fiery tail
She’s gonna capture me and hide away

Big bird flying across the sky
I don’t know you or your reasons why
Big bird do you come to play
Mommas got bad things to say 
About you Big Bird

We been here a thousand years
Momma says that you don’t care
Your fireworks that light the streets
Make houses fall to dust and heat

The baker man went yesterday
A puff of smoke, an empty tray
I kind of liked your flashing bomb
But Momma ranted all night long

About You Big Bird

A remake of an old one from the 80s, main guitars and vocs are live recording with two mics in the room, then some overdubbing. Part of our new recording sessions where we are both remaking some old songs on the new, better equipment and recording some new songs as well. We'll keep posting as we go. Morry and I are both singing on this one. Slowly working through the mixing and mastering on the Tascam DP24. Hope you enjoy these.

I’ve Been Dreaming

Here we are, in Wales, in another lockdown! 
The best cure for the blues is, of course, loud guitars. So here is another collab from Llanpsych https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych and myself. Fans of Tom Petty may recognise the tune (at least we hope so!).

Tez played all the brilliant guitars and drum track. I rewrote the TP lyric slightly, sang it and added bass. 
We hope you enjoy!

We're In Lockdown

Well, we're in  lockdown
We can't leave the town
I could take you up to Llandridnod Wells
But we're all locked down

I'm standing on my ground
Because we're all homebound
Gotta wear a mask, avoid the beer cask
And we're in lockdown
Can't have my friends around

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've all gone to ground
And I must lock down

Well, I'll wash my hands
And I can't see no bands
We all miss the pub and the restaurant grub
We can't leave the town 
Because we're all homebound
And I must lock down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I've just gone to ground
And I am locked down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I hate lockdown

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've gone to ground
In our Welsh compound

We're In Lockdown (Collab with Llanpsych - using a Tom Petty tune)

What else can we say but Funk 2020.  It's been brutal for so many.  We're hoping you can find the groove here with us as we send 2020 out.  As always, Pinner is hot, working his magic on the super tasty wah rhythm guitar and lead work.  Of course, thanks to Parliament for the simple bass line that it all revolves around.

News: Well a lot I could say...but going through some issues right now.  So I am on occasionally...though a lot less than  I would like.   You are always my peeps and  I love you clouders as brothers and sisters.   Peace and love my friends!

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!
