Frown ? Doubts? Reflections? Deceptions?
Have a look at "Hmm", give it a go and recast those feelings into pure bliss!

Done & Gone

Hmm (Original)

Hi dears,

Always secretly enjoyed this little bijou of Rolling Stones but it seemed a bit of a "Beast of burden" for myself. With Nadi along things came in a lot more easy and clear! :)

I hope you like it ... share if you do!

[Rolling Stones] Beast Of Burden

Enjoy the "Red dirt hill" mellow hush country song!

Red Dirt Hill - Feat Arianna Hume(Original)

Fire

Fire (Original)

I've pulled this one from Nashville movie series ... really loved the feel of it and picked it up next day I've heard it. It turned to be a great choice and it's a really easy tune to jam ... a classic 3 chords hit :)
I hope you're enjoying it!

All tracks were recorded @ my place while post processing nicely fetched by Adi: www.adrianstavian.com

[Chris Carmack] - What If I Was Willing

This is a cool song I've been playing for quite some time in different versions but it always gets spectacular adding a beautiful voice next to my rusty hammer jack sound ;)
Chance was to have Larisa nearby and she did a marvellous job on this one! 
I know I first grasped it from Hugh Laurie, famous "Dr House" who surprised me with this genuine inclination toward blues and bluegrass (https://vimeo.com/32089626)
The original ... never checked who actually wrote it but it was a good hand. 
However Larisa and myself chipped in our little tribute to whomever wrote it ;)
Enjoy latest recording "You don't know my mind" and thank you for supporting my channel by listening or liking the material!

[Hugh Laurie] - Marius & Larisa: You Don't Know My Mind

Caught myself humming this song about a dozen times a day lately so I figured I'd sing it for good since I got stuck with it.
I really loved working on this project! Spiced it up with a great choir toward the end. Gabriela took her time (quite precious these days) and threw some nice voice shots for the closure. If you've the patience to get there, she'll run it for you. Really neat co-pilot and great blend all in all! Thanks a bunch!

Enjoy latest recording "Say you do" by Dierks Bentley and thank you for supporting my channel by listening or liking the material!

[Dierks Bentley] - Say You Do

Video version: https://youtu.be/wv4smfeRmO0

We're really excited to put up this this great song of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, a classic modern country tune with a subtle sad yet positive message.
Larisa made a marvelous job of boosting this work while providing the most important flavor, a delicate touch and smooth feeling to make this song sound as it should! We had a great time pulling this off!
The video shooting was a new experience and our gratitude goes to the people making this happen, firstly Rahul who directed the entire scene, and put a lot of heart and effort to get this done! It was round the clock work with lots of details to look at and his expertise was paying off eventually! We couldn't have done it without great help and equipment provided by Silviu Ilie, Iulian Vartejanu and Radu Barbus! 
Thank you all your involvement! 

I do hope you all will enjoy this vid and share if you do. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video!

A simple song wrapped up in a mellow sound, had a great time making this one, I hope you're enjoying it!

Check the video animation of the song if you want a better experience:
https://youtu.be/NfAXlbPMjkM

Lyrics:
We took this rocky path ahead
From the sweet slides down to the heights and back
Where the sunshine sets before it gets 
To sweep the dust off our dumb ass heads

We played the Romeo and Juliet
Put an old act wrapped in a modern set
Played cat dogs, call dibs, hide & seek and picabou 
Here I go baby I ain’t never gonna see you, yet I’m 

Half ditching, half feeding, whole binging on you
And you are,
Half leaving, half sitting, whole clinging on me
We can call a bluff 
Yet catch it only half

We had that gin bottom bottle cracked
We flipped that coin and it turned we part 
Never really look back, keep that door close shut 
Get ourselves the chance for a fresh new start

We sat our sleep on memories 
Done withdrawal fix on “YOU” branded pills
High highs, low lows double cross and final blows
Here we go love, I’m sipping on last camel straw


We tried let go and feel Ok
24 hours a'day astray
Now this void is on the way
Yeah, all that I can say ... is

Half

Half (Original)

I took a lot of time to get "Time" out :) It was a great experience to build up this gloomy song and add  the expected atmosphere and powerful feeling. I hope you're enjoying it and check more work I've done.
Ah, one more thing ... if you want to put a picture next to this song, please feel free to explore the beautiful cinematic laid on it:

Lyrics:

Lie to me honey, set me free in my own distorted reality 
Tell me your side of the story, make me believe I’m your gift
Raise up heavens stir heavy bottoms in the oceans of my hopes
Feed me to my fears break me into tears and ask me what is it wrong 
Rise a sea of faces make me pick the one which suits your current mood
Tell me "nice try" make an allude, act like you’re gone for good 
Buy me with smiles lure me in gifts push me vibe into the pitch
Change your mind take it all back, pretend you have an itch

Make me believe  
That the poles warm your soul ,the deserts chills your world
And this is as real 
As it can be it's right there for me
It went so fast and past, time just didn't last

Sneak into my soul open it all, nod in arousal and plea
Ask to be yours beg and implore, agree to disagree
Pat my beaten ego give it a name, make me believe I'm saint
Thrust me into dark set us apart, stomp on my frightened heart
Tell me the future is waiting for us, our past will make it last
Gaze at me with pitch black eyes tell me you gave it up
Reach out your hand and aim for mine, grab and tie me fold
Frown and let go, storm out the door, leave the story untold

Now tell me if you know, from the get go, 
What you want, 
What you need, 
What you feel, 
What you dream
What you scheme, 
What you’re here for, 
What’s you’re looking for
Or if you’re anything at all

Time

Time (Original)

Get some glimpse of country breeze! This is a colorful and dynamic country song and I am fund to it particularly because it came out quite fast at the time. I wrote the main parts in Kenya while travelling and finished it in Brussels adding the "Done & Gone" catchy choir which put the song together.
Enjoy listening and you might want to check this mind blowing lyric video version which makes a great marriage with the song:

https://youtu.be/UsU78m147UU

Lyrics:

Scattered pieces of our hearts
Lying down South Dakota
Mingling with the grit in the back 
Of your 4X4 Toyota
Silky dry vanilla memories
Gashed across the Napa valley
Scent of forgotten promises 
Spread North East of Burundi

We tried the world with phoney words
Y'all talk no walk and that took its toll 
Like a “game drive” caught outside the park
You let the chance, get ahead of us
The road is getting me where I’m going
The wind is blowing me and I’m floating
I’m on a step by step, walk ahead
While your memories, fade away 
I’m on a tuk tuk run but I just won’t stop
With every mile I’m off and you’re out of my heart
With every next live bar, I squeeze my guitar
Closer to say, hon, I’m: 
Done done done, done done and gone

Hanging kisses on Beagle Channel shore
That I just can’t let go 
Parted senses numbed by the snow
On a cold Toronto road
High hopes rising on the Dome of Rome
You just had to smash ‘em all
Honest thoughts slipped off a roam 
Making me cross the Rubicon

Yeah I’ll take this faith and pray I’ll see it shining 
I’ll lick my wounds but babe… there’s silver lining

Done and gone

Done & Gone (Original)

Listen to this great lullaby featuring Arianna as voice duet. I loved working on this project and I am so happy it captures  very nicely the summer, July and lullaby concepts all together. Have the same feeling ?

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/aa_prV9s73Q

Lyrics:
What’s it gonna be once the cold went past
Taking a darn shot at our best
What if starring at the empty walls
Turns into a distant lost remorse
What if you and I would walk that road
And maybe make it out till next turn
What if all the nights of bleed and empty
Turn the bitter dice roll lucky 
We grit the teeth to save the day,  Heading nowhere anyway
Feed the hours to sweep our way, We’re so far away 
Bridge
While the sun is still up high
Rain pours heavily inside
Storm rolls out our skies, as we 
Carry sweet July
Why to keep that phone busy
Words got no real meaning 
Why don’t you and I
End it this July 
Chorus
Sha la la lai, summer breeze gets me high
Sha la la la la lai, July lullaby
Sha la la la, oh it’s time to say goodbye
Sha la la la lai lai, July lullaby
Does hiding behind a shut door
Hit someone worth waiting for ?
What if dreading all the unexpected
It’s just you being way too skeptic 
What if all this worn and tense 
Actually would make some sense
What if taking that darn shot
Would somehow put us back 

But then again we went through that,  always hoping next is best 
Always trying halfway through, so what’s the use

July lullaby

Lyrics:
Nowhere to go

The road is set for cruise control
You’re heading out you've got no goal 
The night is bright, the spirit’s whole
The world is yours from pole to pole

You drive’em miles, the miles drive you
Hit a town, refill, move through,
You worry ‘bout oh now where to
Years has passed, you’ve got no clue

Gear up and stomp the gas
Steer the wheel do your best
How can you be lost
When you’ve got nowhere to go ?

Perhaps by now you’ve done the world
You’ve found the pearl, you felt the thorn
You’ve circled around and underground
Reached the point of upside down

You buckle up, still lights hang red
The clutch is loud, your reason fled
You toss your will, you drive out mad
Dead end road right straight ahead 

Full speed …

Bridge
You hope you’re gonna spin that chamber 
Have the bullet go around you
Uhaaah, uhaah
You’re poring down that heavy liquor 
Makes you see life bigger 
Uhaaah , uhaah


Gear up and stomp the gas
Steer the wheel do your best
How can you be lost
When you’ve got nowhere to go ?
