DARK WAVES (darkwave x SYNTHWAVE TYPE BEAT INSTRUMENTAL)

Laxá's most ambitious track do date, "I Never Knew You" sees the band expand their sound into more ambient soundscapes with Cello player Lisbeth Heima driving the early part of the piece along with Mike's keyboard and piano. Sure there's the trademark guitars from Jussi and Bjarne's driving bass, but Matthias' drums are notably cleaner as the new sound starts to emerge.

I Never Knew You by Laxá

Groove times Two - Robert Grigg & Combstead

[original guitar score by @john-byrne-117035719]

Sha-zzam
Boom-boom-boom
(Heads up!)
Sha-zzam
Boom-boom-boom-bam
(I’m a riddle!)

Sha-zzam
Guess who I am?
(I keep everyone’s secret)
Sha-zzam
Guess who I am?
(but I’m a riddle, I’m your riddle, so riddle me out)

When you plunged headlong into the lights (into the lights)
that’s when you first cried of not being ready for me.
(better get ready for me)
I sat frail in every one of your classrooms,
my breathing made your teachers unsteady and wobbly.

Been tossed out
a whole lot more than I’ve been carried.
But you can only have me 
either dead or buried!

I'm an easy kill—you can murder me a thousand times.
In the dead of night I’ll crash through your weatherproof doors.
You can bury me and I’ll be good and alive—
I'll sing with the banshees under your floors.

You can have me either dead or buried.
Can’t have me both dead and buried!
You can have me either dead or buried.
No-one’s ever had me both dead and buried.

When they told you the good ones never die (and then what to do)
is when I howled out you should come lookin’ for me.
I laugh sickly but my passage no walls can deny.
My heaving crescent makes confessors flushed and fumbly.

Been crossed out
a whole lot more than married.
But you can only have me
either dead or buried!

You can have me either dead or buried.
You can’t have me both dead and buried.
My harsh embrace makes even sages wary.
No-one’s ever found me both dead and buried.

(dead or, dead or) (buried)
(dead or, dead or, dead or) (buried)

And when you let me pick you up you’ll be confused.
(it works if you’re confused)
I can’t drown the buzz of a billion self-medicatin’ hornets
(self-medicatin’)
But at least your trust will never be abused
(not ever)
like those who turned your vigor into rigor mortis...

Most can take me only dead or buried.
Few can handle neither dead nor buried.
They can flaunt me only dead or buried.
You should want me
though I’m dressed in dread
my garbs all woven in thread
that’s indisputably incredible
and most spectacularly varied

Dead Or Buried (with John Byrne)

This track was recorded in 8 hours on a 4-track cassette recorder in October of 1984.

It was played on WLUP FM in Chicago on October 12, 1984 at 6:50 AM.
This was my first recording played on the radio.

RON SNYDER - The Flu Season Blues (Original 1984 Radio Version)

A song about futility

LYRICS:

Soon is not soon enough
and the promise of help
is just dust on the shelf
Bloom in a greenhouse alone
Nowhere is home
You're longing to roam on the grass on the loam

Moved by a picture of sand
Unfamiliar land
you held in your had
Soothed by the breath of the day
A permanent haze
A shroud on the face of the ones you replaced

You went along with the plans 'til the end
You finished your book and you lost all your friends
We talked and we talked but we never got near
the reasons behind why you ended up here

Reasons

This song was written, composed and produced as a dedication to one of my daughters whom I love dearly.

I'll Be The Answer

A small tribute to a great band - REO Speedwagon - and to one of our favorite songs.

Time for Me to Fly (Now streaming on Spotify)

My wife would wake with this heaviness in her heart. It used to ruin her entire day. I wrote this to let her know I feel her pain.

Sometimes When I Hear You Crying

Sometimes When I Hear You Crying  By Dave Hanrahan Music - 9 1 20, 11.30 AM

[Dutch lyrics]
DE GEEST UIT DE FLES
de geest uit de fles
danst door de lucht
loert met een lach
en prikt in je rug

hij draait om je heen
strijkt langs je huid
zucht in je oor
en springt voor je uit           

je verlangt al zo lang
zo lang naar een dans
naar een dans op de tong 
een dans op de tong van de slang

de geest uit de fles
is sterker dan wij
voelt hij de lust
dan maakt hij je vrij

verhoort hij je wens
met hartstocht en zin
dan hoop ik dat hij 
mij aan je bindt

ik verlang al zo lang
zo lang naar een dans
naar een dans op de tong 
een dans op de tong van de slang
