This is wonderful MOAG and Keith! From the skeletal intro to the full bodied chorus. Lovely left-field melody and warm vocal. Great outro and excellent performances all! Chris

What a great song.A touch of the upbeat heartache. Loved it.

this is beyond catchy.... awesome guitars / vocals.  bravo.

Salut Sir Emmanuel ! Ce "Brief Encounter" était passé à côté de mon radar soundcloudien… On ne peut pas être au four et au moulin, comme disait Tonton Dolphi en envahissant la Pologne et la Hollande :)… Primo, c'est une desperate love song™. Donc, a priori favorable… Secundo, j'écoute ce putain de truc depuis dix minutes ou plus et je dis que c'est definitely GOOD. Tertio, que dire d'autre? Ben qu'on que se sent tout petit face à une telle mélodie, si bien arrangée avec ces guitares en contrepoint… Bravo à tous les deux! Mais ça sonne quand même bien MOAG™! N'est-il pas?

Song composed during a Fredericton Arts Alliance Residency. Joint composition with Bryan McDaniel. Guitar Bryan McDaniel.

There is nothing wrong with you because you are different. Everyone is different.

We do not have to be homogeneous; we do not have to be the same. There is distance and difference between even the closest of human beings. We do not have to walk the same path to share the same vision: that all view points are valuable; except for hate, which is not a viewpoint at all but a dark glass some people see through… losing all clarity and beauty.

We do not need to stand above someone. We can stand side by side and not be in each other’s shade…so that we all receive the same amount of sunlight. 

Two great things we can do in life: Have the courage to be yourself, your unique self and embrace what is different about you; and the second thing is to embrace what is different about everyone else …what is their unique contribution to the world?  (And maybe doing the second will only come from doing the first. Maybe you can’t accept everyone else’s differences unless you accept your own). 

Every power struggle, abuse, and essentially all inequity in the world is related. We need to solve the inequities in our own lives in order to impact the world’s inequities and essentially set a good example so that others will follow, not you; but your behaviour, by making changes on their own.

Differences are very important. We need them to understand things…without differences we cannot compare, understand, and get perspective. We wouldn’t even have a concept of time without differences! Differences create understanding if we embrace them and only difference can create change and growth…the concepts of change and growth are also not possible without differences! 

The ironic thing is that humans sometimes think that rejecting differences and striving to be the same will create unity. But the opposite is true: only through accepting all our differences and celebrating them can we truly unite and move forward.

Difference

This is a collaboration with Taylor Brysiewicz.  Upon discovering an adequately functioning upright piano in the basement of the conference room at the Banff Centre (where we were both visiting for a conference on Random Algebraic Geometry), we decided to play some improvisational piano duets which led to this collaborative composition.  Taylor had the foresight to take a quick audio memo on his phone where we recorded a few excerpts alongside some commentary about the chord progression.  After returning home from the conference, Taylor turned our fragments into a completed piano part.  I then added a flute part while trying to maintain the impromptu spirit of the original, namely, by locking in some of the improvised phrases from my early takes (as opposed to indulging in my normal habit of making dozens of rounds of revisions).

"Dan Boyko's powerful and evocative original, 'Modern Day Nursery Rhyme,' strikes a chord with its poignant message. With its acoustic beginning and a full-band arrangement that speaks to the struggles of contemporary life, this song captures the essence of a world where playgrounds have vanished, and childhood innocence is a distant memory. Dan Boyko's heartfelt lyrics and soulful delivery create a haunting and unforgettable musical experience. Join us on this lyrical journey through the remnants of an era long gone."

When I sent Mike Fox the acoustic track never did I think in my wildest dreams that he would produce such a mix  of sounds.
The brief was a modern pop track in the realm of Louis Capaldi / Ed Sheeran that sort of thing.
And what I got was an amazing piece of nostalgia 70s Chic  v 80s club which I actually bloody loved.
Just shows that it’s best to trust the process and let these outstanding musicians/producers do their thing . 
It’s such fun collaborating with different people and listening to their different take on things.
Mike is an excellent songwriter himself and you can always pick the earworm in his work.
Big thanks to Mike he was a pleasure to work with and a real gentleman.
I hope you enjoy it guys as much as we did making it.


Give each other up 

V1 
Your love for me is out of practice 
We got somewhere lost in all the traffic 
Im getting prickly now in the hustle 
Im sorry if I ever caused you trouble 

Chorus  
We  can fail at what we hate 
And we can fail at what we love
But doesn’t mean we should give each other up


V2
Why don’t we never seem to make it to desert
Your the sweetest thing  i don’t deserve 
I always new how to make things better 
Now I’m just that storm in your weather 

Finish on a double Chorus

Give Each Other Up ~ Fox & Brownie

poem / copyright jo richter
(as published in Auslegpapier):

even
though humidity
might take its toll
honouring each whim of entropy,
there is stolid persistence
adjucated by attachment,
by clinging to
the moments of
doubt.

bricks belong
and heed their master's
each and every indulgence:
dear, sweet, homely gravity!
while mere mortar may
dissolve and crumble

it won't be long.
it never is. ask the nymphs
and fauns and watcher spirits that
last. neural uniformity goes first
as mosses, fungi, viral, vital cells
demand their share and shed humility:
minerals to feed the masses, yearning
to be free. ugh, structures long
to breathe through the
gaps left by
mortar

I know
words and music  and album art by Chris Pendergraft. 

I know 
I know how it feels
when the earthquakes are coming
I know how it feels
When the rainbows are running
Tip toe across the floor
to your darkest fears
have no time to waste
on psychedelic tears

the walls are pending with the beat of your heart
and the ceilings crashing in
But all these fears are deep in your mind
and it is you who lets it in

Come on out
It's time to glow
Shine your light so the world can know
you've not giving up on your self
Even if you don't think
this world cares about your dreams
Even if you have
no one else

faded and jaded so frustrated 
faded and jaded so frustrated 

the walls are pending with the beat of your heart
and the ceilings crashing in
But all these fears are deep in your mind
and it is you who lets it in

Come on out
It's time to glow
Shine your light so the world can know
you've not giving up on your self
Even if you don't think
this world cares about your dreams
Even if you have
no one else

I know 
I know how it feels
when the earthquakes are coming
I know how it feels
When the rainbows are running
Tip toe across the floor
to your darkest fears
have no time to waste
on psychedelic tears

I knew what it was all about, yeah I knew what they were like 
I went into this with open eyes, I was never gonna try 
She was special though, she came up to me and smiled 
Hey come with me! I will sing my song for you, I can make you fly!

Oh it was my first time 
Didn’t know she lied

This was far beyond my wildest dreams, it was love and joy and light 
I think I loved her for a moment in the night 
And I never felt so good before, the love was sweet the sex was raw 
Sing again, my brief encounter

Things were going steady then, we would party all week long 
And maybe as to return the favour she would sing her little song 
Then she went away, there were no more shots to drop 
Still the song remained, and I knew it had to stop

This is my last time 
Didn’t know I lied

Let’s just say I kinda liked it, let’s just say that it was hard to stay away 
‘Cause I enjoyed it every step along the way 
And I never felt so good before, the days were sweet the nights were raw 
Sing again, my brief encounter

I cannot lie 
I like getting high, really high 
But why, oh why 
Understand why

Then it was my last time 
Didn’t know I’d die

It was just like any other night, but it was hard to stay awake 
I don’t remember no one told me not to take 
And I never felt so good before, soon I’ll never feel no more 
Sing again, my brief encounter 
Come on sing it all night long, let me hear that dopey song 
My brief encounter 
My brief encounter 
Don’t do me no fucking favour

Bad keys, shaky shakers, 
acoustic and tremolo guitars... 
I try to not grill ALL of these ingredients
ALL of the time... but it’s hard.
