Worth Living v4 (mix 1.2)(mastered)

Crossover

Yes & No

A statement about challenging detractors to do their own thing, but more broadly people to do something remarkable, rather than criticise or moan from the sidelines. 

Lyrics:
Now listen up 
It’s gone on too long 
I’ve had enough 
It’s time to right a wrong
You get a feeling 
You can’t understand
You hit a ceiling 
Didn’t turn out as planned

I’m on a roll
So don’t hold me back
It’s a rabbit hole 
When you go down that track
It’s not a secret
Nor your concern
But you can speak up 
When it’s your turn

As you know 
We’ve been dancing around this for so long
You may feel that we’ve sold out
But so what?
You can sit on the sidelines 
But don’t criticise
Show me what you got
Show me what you got

Don’t act surprised
You knew the day would come
You’d been advised
To bang your own drum
It stands to reason 
You’d fight for your cause
What you believe in 
Having fought all those wars

Let’s set it straight
It’s time to clear the air
And appreciate 
How we got here from there
We need to face it
We’ve been round the block
And so embrace it
As we run out the clock

As you know 
We’ve been dancing around this for so long
You may feel that we’ve sold out
But so what?
You can sit on the sidelines 
But don’t criticise
Show me what you got
Show me what you got

Maybe I didn’t see it clearly for what it was
Maybe I didn’t go as far as I really could
Maybe I didn’t know myself quite as I should
Or I would

But show me what you got
Show me what you got
Show me what you got
Show me what you got

Show Me What You Got [Radio Edit]

“We Are All Around Us,” the fifth studio album by Remedy Motel, is a triumph. The band has been building up this reserve of fine tunes for over a decade, and it shows on this album. The songs are catchy, the lyrics are meaningful, the stories are well-earned, the performances heartfelt, and the arrangements, mixing, and production are world-class.
The album opens with the title track, a powerful, rising anthem about the interconnectedness of all of us. Lifting continuously throughout and soaring at the end with harmonies and hope. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which explores themes of love, loss, hope, and redemption.

We Are All Around Us

I call what I write American music. There are no fences or walls. I may have grown up where the blues and rock and roll were born, but that’s given me a connection to all forms of organic folk music around the world. The deep south is truly a melting pot.

There's about twenty albums of IM stuff so it's gonna take me a while, but here's another. All '80s and reverb-y and lush and hopefully sweet too. Hell, there's even one minute and fourteen seconds of my attempt at a Christmas song, albeit a slightly cynical one (though only slightly).
Enjoy!

To Feel Free

My remix of 'Closure' by Dave Rice teases a tantalizing interplay of haunting vocals and melodious arpeggios. Taking it's cues from the original, it's been reinvented as a chasmic club monster, thriving with vibrant energy, providing a rhythm-filled sonic journey.

Dave Rice - Closure (Will Konitzer Remix)

Evening all. 
So I'm going slowly deaf, Meniere's robbing me of the highs and lows of my hearing very slowly but surely. Which means I'm recording fast and furious-like, trying to work my way through a crap-ton of songs across about twenty or so separate projects, before it becomes ridiculous to even try. These projects go back to 1978, my last year of high school. I’m sure you can do the math!
I always joke that I’ve never met a genre I didn’t like. Or have a crack at. So there’s post punk, art rock, country/americana, folk, folk pop, southern rock, ambient, jazz, indie pop, punk pop, piano pieces, 60s fuzz pop … lots of different stuff. Over 44 years there’s about 1200 songs, and I don’t imagine I’ll get ‘em all done, at least not before my ears pack up. 
So there are caveats for a lot of this stuff. Most of which are to do with not agonising over every part and every mix, just getting the songs done reasonably ok. I’ve had a lot of time to live with some of these, so I’ve re-imagined quite a few, or fixed them, or just tidied them up. I used to sing like I was gargling and being tickled, so I’m now doing my best to sing proper like, as best I can. 
It’s been a long road, and I’ve been signed to a major, dropped, released indie stuff, been on (Oz) MTV, played thousand plus people gigs and to empty rooms. There are moments I’d trade, and moments I wouldn’t trade for quids.
I hope you enjoy the music. Please, though, I can tell if a song has been played, so don’t put a like or some vague comment about the song, when I can tell you haven’t played it. It wastes both our time, and kinda breaks my heart.
