Really cool lofi sound, with spitting guitars.  Fab.

Great songwriting and performance. Love the raw power of it, amazing lyrics and those shifts in tempo / mood. Sorry for your loss.

These sounds intro into verse are great. Nice vocals too.

The raw tonal edge in this has quite an emotional quality. Very effective. Top grunginess!

Moonballad, as origonally done by Toxic Daisies and redone so brillliantly by Jon Lock.

Arcade Accident

This one is something I've been playing over and over for months, never really having any definite lyrics, just all subconscious meandering, never wrote a word down, a little different to my usual process. 

lyrics 

All men are strangers to the touch
one femme fatale with the golden locks
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know it's hard loving one man
but you must do all the best that you can
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know that the word is out
all over town
they only pick you up
right before
when they're knocking you to the ground

cu me ce va I heard him saying
but I don't care for the game that you're playing
I'm done with hesitating knockout!
debilitating
just show me that you really care

I know that the word is out
all over town
they only pick you up
right before
when they're knocking you to the ground

I know that In life is strange
stuck on the inside of a hurricane
and there I will remain 

Thanks for listening and inspiring folks, always greatly appreciated 🙏✌️

Special thanks to my wife Delphine who's taking more and more confidence in singing for my greatest pleasure. Nico, for his wonderful guitar. This guy is just amazing, you can ask him for anything and he plays it right away. 
And this song wouldn't sound as wonderful without Freddie's touch for the Mix&Mastering. Freddie has the patience of a Bouddha Monk, and the precision of a surgeon. Thank you my friend for all your professionalism and your passion that you share with all of us everyday! Such a pleasure to work with you.

Thanks to everyone stepping by, listening, thanks for your likes and comments. It's much appreciated. I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics : 
Just tell me why you're so kind
Why you think it's worth to try
Hold on tight
Never change your mind
Let me know what's behind
What you need to mystify
All this time
I was colorblind

How can you be so determined
Holding back your tears and smile
To my lies
If I could rewind
All the words that I can find
Giving hope you can't rely
To keep you fine
Always on my side

I've heard it say before
Like a hundred times or more
That secrets learn to war
Let them blow away
Our love we thought so pure
Is now lying on the floor
I'm feeling insecure
I should walk away


Backing 1
Just tell me why you're so kind
How can you be so determined

Backing 2
Listen to your love
We can all lose our way somehow

Cherish the Moment (Demo)

Life is rough, and your mind is busy with plans how to make it through the next day. Could you ever stop having the blues? Even as a musician? While jamming a boogie on piano, the phrase stuck in my head and I liked its ambiguity. I am overwhelmed how many people from all over the world joined the session and created an awesome rock'n'roll song. Everybody added their bit and we are very proud of the result. Thank you so much!

==== LYRICS ====
I’ve got not time to relax
no time for fun
Time is staring at me
down the barrel of its gun

No time to tie laces,
I’ve got slip on shoes
And worst of all
I’ve got no time for blues

I got no time for blues
No time to be amused
Nor even to watch the TV news
No time to pay my dues
I'm the king of excuses
I got no time - it's such a crime
No time for blues

I got letters to send
I got bills to pay
I have less time to myself
Every single day
I work so many hours
It's a wonder I don't drop
I don't know if these demands
Are ever gonna stop

All of my friends
are in the same boat
Doesn't seem to matter
Who gets your vote
We're working for peanuts
We can't make ends meet
if things don't look up soon
We'll be out on the street

Look at that guy
In his fancy car
He has no idea
How hard things are
When you're working for a wage
But sinking deeper into debt
When I think of the future
I break out in a cold sweat

I got no time for blues
No time to be amused
Nor even to watch the TV news
No time to pay my dues
I'm the king of excuses
I got no time - it's such a crime
No time for blues

"Anahita, Persian Goddess"

Music by Mahan Mahan

inspired by the true events, so melodically documented in "Nuns of Ghent" by Belial Pelegrim https://soundcloud.com/belial-pelegrim ...

https://soundcloud.com/belial-pelegrim/nuns-of-ghent

Anahita is the ancient Persian goddess of fertility, water, health and healing, and wisdom. Owing to her association with life-giving properties, she also came to be connected with ancient Persian warfare as soldiers would pray to her for their survival before battle.

The Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary is a Roman Catholic religious institute founded in Ghent, Belgium. An enclosed religious order, its main apostolate is helping the needy and the sick.

Anahita, Persian Goddess

I wrote what's below before Mahan put up, for public, the original. 
Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/moonballad-toxic-daisies?in=mahan-mahan/sets/jon-lock-vs-mahan-mahan
I few weeks ago I heard this track https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/disco-junkies-1-1-1 and was just floored, mostly by that bass line. Anyway after https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan and I had enjoyed each others music and exchanged some ideas and pleasantries Mahan came to me with the Idea of me covering a song by his former band The Toxic Daisies. I think he'll post the original as a public track again but for now the link he provided to me is private. The original is from the 90's(I think) and in a punk/grunge style. I shifted it into a sort of 60's pop and altered the harmonies just a bit but stayed true, for the most part to the original chords, arraignment, tempo and tried to use the exact lyrics as I heard them. It's a wonderful song and a couldn't be more flattered that Mahan asked me to recreate it.

Moonballad (Toxic Daisies cover)

"Moonballad"

Written and performed by Toxic Daisies :
    George Montero : Vocals & Guitars 
    Mahan Mahan : Bass guitar 
    Recorded circa late 90's...

Moonballad (Toxic Daisies)

A pinch, well more than a pinch, of Mahan Mahan's style. A bit of a collaboration but with no consultation. :)

I got candy
I’ve got candy
I’ve got candy
And there is none
For you

I’ve got ice cream
Oh, I’ve got ice cream
Oh, I’ve got ice cream
But there is none
For you

And I don’t know what to do but
I am sure that 
I am not going to
Give any of mine
To you

I’ve got money
I’ve got money
I’ve got money
But there is none
For you

I’ve got a love
I’ve got love
I’ve got love
But there is none
For you

And I don’t know what to do but
I am sure that
I am not going to
Give any of mine
To you

I’ve got candy
I’ve got candy
I’ve got candy
But there is none
For you

I Got Candy!

I'm mean, lean, cruel, obscene... Not only am I Elvis, I'm also James Dean.
