Another beauty... 
Nicely done ..
👏👏👏👏👏👏

You brought the Heavy Rain!!! Awesome sounds, highly creative, and great production. <3 :D

Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

HR KIOSK

This is a really personal one. It was written during a very stressful period in 2021. I came home, had a little too much whisky, wrote the lyrics and then wrote and recorded the backing in one night. I then forgot all about it!!I found the file the other morning and decided to finish the melody and record the vocals. It’s not easy listening but I wanted to express how I felt at that time. Some of my songs on here are personal and some are stories etc. I wanted to show one with real, pure emotion. As ever, best with headphones. There is a longish instrumental intro and then the vocals. It’s about the life spark being smothered by stress. 
Life is better now! 

Lyrics 

Unfocused and Gone

I know it’s missing
it feels hollow and spare
It was alive once, eager to act
Urgent and hungry, for attention and contact 
There was surging desire and constant demand
Oh I miss what I was, and what I am I can’t stand!

I’ve no joy in films and tv, all dead to me
Work doubt my skills, love holds no thrills
It’s just complaints and jibes, angry and snide
No sleep, no calm, just fear and alarm

And then here you are, you smile and I know
That hope starts to build, my confidence grows
But I’ve nothing at all, what can I do
I’ve no spark or desire, or excitement for you 

Unfocused and gone

And will a renaissance come?
Or will it go on and on? 
Unfocused and gone

Unfocused and Gone

Durante 1973 mi banda "Rata Intelectual" formaba con bajo, batería y guitarra líder. 'Opus 3' es un tema preparado para trío que modifiqué cuando se agregó un nuevo integrante y yo pasé del bajo a la guitarra rítmica.
'Segundo Tema' quedó llamado así ('Second Theme') porque era el segundo de cuatro temas de una suite que finalmente no terminé. Esta versión cuenta con el agregado de teclados que no estaban presentes en la original. El resto es igual y reproduce los arreglos de mi extinto amigo Daniel Eusebi (RIP), profundo admirador de Jan Akkerman. Sobre el final hay una aproximación al estilo de Steve Howe de quien era fan yo por aquellos años.
Esta segunda parte cierra el período que pude recuperar de 1973 basado en registros conservados en viejos cassettes.

During 1973 my band "Rata Intelectual" was formed with bass, drums and lead guitar. 'Opus 3' is a song prepared for trio that I modified when a new member was added and I went from bass to rhythm guitar.
'Segundo Tema' was called so ('Second Theme') because it was the second of four themes from a suite that I finally did not finish. This version has the addition of keyboards that were not present in the original. The rest is the same and reproduces the arrangements of my late friend Daniel Eusebi, a deep admirer of Jan Akkerman. At the end there is an approximation to the style of Steve Howe, of whom I was a fan in those years.
This second part closes the period that I was able to recover from 1973 based on records preserved on old cassettes.

maybe i feel a little lonely.
maybe, baby, you already know.
are you the bee to my flower?
are you the thorn in my rose? ahhh
If I give a little bit of honey,
would you stay or would you go?

let's go, real slow, wait it out and see
who knows, maybe love will open up to me
maybe if i could just believe
i could be your flower, you would be my honey bee

I've been stung, undone, inside of me
just a broken, broken melody
still wanna? do you wanna be my honey bee?

i could be your flower, baby you could be my honey bee
honey bee
oooo

i see you flying by, so high up in the sky
all the flowers, look so dry, maybe you would like mine?

bzzz bzzz bzzz maybe
bzzz bzzz bzzz baby
would you like some honey mine?
