Superb performances and song, Tez!! Merry Christmas to you and family, brother!!! ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏

Percussion is fantastic, btw!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💎

great festive favourite,  Happy Holidays 😊

Had to come back for another listen.  Hey would that EHX B9 work with a bass?

Hey Tez man, please forgive me for having overlooked this one. Perfect midwinter melody. Even though I'm unfamiliar with this one, sounds like you nailed it, brother man. Such a cool mix of processing voices, and I dig the organ, too. Excellent work here, bro!

DISTANT LOVE

Copyright Music Fading Call 2013
Copyright Lyrics JoFa 2013

Long distance love
Fades away in the waves
Long distance minds
Can’t feel no love
Can’t feel no love
Anymore
		Long distance love…
Minds with no eyes
Can’t see no sunshine
Bodies miles apart
Won’t keep up the fire
Won’t keep up the desire
		Long distance love…
Waiting for ages
For you to care
Waiting for ages
To feel your skin on my skin
To feel your skin on my skin
		Long distance love…
Too many Gods away
To believe in love
Too many lies away
To believe in truth
We were once together
We were once together… but
		Long distance love…

Distant Love

Another really fun collab with the legendary @TexMex-Shaman!

I'll often sketch out music ideas and compose midi melodies on the ipad as a first step, but took a different approach and constructed this one entirely in Ableton Live which I have been transitioning more of my process to lately.

After building the foundation I sent it to Stephen and he added some suuuper creative guitar parts that really build the atmosphere and take it to a whole other level. Very happy how this came out, hope you'll enjoy it!

In the evening, I often take a seat at the piano and give free rein to my improvisation. Luckily, I took a picture this time and I'm happy to share it with you.

Am Abend nehme ich häufig am Klavier Platz und lasse meiner Improvisation freien Lauf. Glücklicherweise habe ich diesmal eine Aufnahme gemacht und freue mich, diese mit euch zu teilen.

Hello dear friends
my wonderful 10-years-old granddaughter is a mighty skilled rider.
She rides like a princess.
She inspired me to make this little song/fairy tale.

Lyrics in English

The Girl on the Horse

The silence is broken when she is riding in
on her black and white horse
and the hooves are clapping on the streets of stone
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


They are both very excited about the speed they now have reached
when they fly through the town
they are cheering and they are clapping their hands and hooves
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


The dust is smoking and the people move aside
they don’t want to get hurt
they are very impressed by the skill they show
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Her Grand Dad keeps telling her, please don't fall to the ground   (=me!!)
You might break a lot of bones
but the girl and the horse, they just laugh at him
She is riding fast as a hurricane and her hair
is billowing with the wind


Lyrics in Swedish

Flickan på hästen

Tystnaden bryts när hon rider in
på sin svartvita häst
och hovarna klappar på gatorna av sten
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


De är båda väldigt exalterade över hastigheten de nu har nått
när de flyger genom staden
de jublar och de klappar händer och hovar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Dammet ryker och människorna flyttar sig åt sidan
de vill inte bli sårade
de är mycket imponerade av den skicklighet de visar
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden


Hennes morfar säger hela tiden till henne, snälla fall inte till marken      (=jag!!)
Du kan krossa många ben
men flickan och hästen, de bara skrattar åt honom
Hon rider fort som en orkan och hennes hår
böljar med vinden

     This is my new Christmas song for the year. It has a double meaning for me and that's why I call it "The Last Christmas"! Charlie did a good job singing it and I joined him in spots! I wrote it during the hot summer this year, so go figure!!😂 I used up all the tracks I had available to record it (I'm old school, give me a break!) and I had tons of fun recording all the parts too! The song at the end during the credits is another Christmas song I wrote back in 2001 called "Have A Very Merry Christmas" with Sharri singing and Charlie and me doing background vocals. Check both out I have a video each one! This video was super fun to create, I spent a lot of time and effort on it, the sleigh ride with Santa is especially cool! I added a lot of eye-candy and special audio effect here and there. This video is for the whole family so feel free to share it with loved ones and watch it together.

Now for the secret double meaning of this song!! It's a sad tale, so prepare yourselves! Back when I was in high school, back in ancient times, there was a very pretty girl in our English class named Chrissy, she was very nice and sweet, I sat next to her and she was very smart and let us dumb guys cheat off of her papers sometimes!😂 Anyway for almost the whole year I never realized that her real name was Christmas, we all called her Chrissy. There was something very sad about Chrissy, I didn't know what it was but the next year Chrissy never returned to school? Later, I found out she had leukemia, I think? She never returned to school after that and some of the kids told me she had sadly passed away however I'm not sure about that but I never did she her again. So this song is for her and after all these years she popped back in my brain?! So let's all enjoy Christmas this year with family and friends because you never know when it will be your Last Christmas! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all and Happy New Year!! 🙏😎✌🏼🎅🧑🏻‍🎄🤶🌟💫☃️🎁🎈🪅🎊❤️💝

“THE LAST CHRISTMAS”

CHRISTMAS, THE LAST CHRISTMAS,
CHRISTMAS, IS HERE AGAIN,
CHRISTMAS THE LAST CHRISTMAS,  
CHRISTMAS, DON'T LET IT END,                  

WILL WE LAUGH? WILL WE CRY?
WILL WE SAY OUR LAST GOODBYES?
OH CHRISTMAS, SWEET CHRISTMAS,
PLEASE DON'T DIE,
     
CHRISTMAS, THE LAST CHRISTMAS,
CHRISTMAS, THE TIME HAS COME, 
CHRISTMAS, THE LAST CHRISTMAS,
CHRISTMAS, WHAT HAVE WE DONE? 
 
WILL WE SMILE? WILL WE WEEP?
COUNT OUR BLESSINGS IN OUR SLEEP?
OH CHRISTMAS, FORGIVE US,
CHRISTMAS PLEASE,
SWEET CHRISTMAS PLEASE,
  
SNOW IS HERE, LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT,
THE TREE IS TRIMMED WITH LOVE TONIGHT,
RUDOLPH'S READY FOR HIS FINAL FLIGHT,
AH AH, AH AH, AH AH, AH AH,      
   
WILL WE SMILE? WILL WE WEEP?
COUNT OUR BLESSINGS IN OUR SLEEP?
OH CHRISTMAS, FORGIVE US,
CHRISTMAS PLEASE, SWEET CHRISTMAS PLEASE,  
BYE BYE CHRISTMAS, 
BYE BYE CHRISTMAS, 
BYE BYE CHRISTMAS,
BYE BYE.

My favourite Christmas carol.
All instruments are guitars - apart from the percussion
Organ and synth sounds are guitar through my EHX B9 pedal

Hello my friends!
At the beginning of this New Year, I invite you all to listen to my brand new piece in a slightly more cinematic mood.
I love cinema and some of my favorite directors include David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers. I am often influenced by their films and when writing my own songs I am inspired by the atmosphere and surreal vision of the world in their films…
I wish you a good time! 😎

This piece is the first part of my triptych about the mysterious highway!

With a special dedication to my friend Josh Clary 💥
