rock & pop

Soft, fluid, slow. A melodious flow of music, filled with the sweet melancholy of ever-changing time and inevitable loneliness, telling stories of passing life. This is Doina's energy. Doina is one of Moldavia’s musical folklore dramaturgies, which has inspired our friend and artist @bliznochi to compose the songs for our today’s release „Nisip“.
The EP may be seen as a dedication to what we call our home, our home lands. The environment we have perceived in our childhood. The nature, the sounds and the emotions that are deeply rooted in our minds and hearts, carried to present times. For Bliz Nochi this home is the Nistru river in Moldavia, of which shores he has grown up, capturing the tradition of local culture.
Bliz Nochi combined both works „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului" (meaning „the sand of the shores of the river Nistru“) and „Sand“ into the EP’s title "Nisip" – sand. Its memories drive Bliz Nochi’s search for new interpretations of the traditional Moldavian musical song – Doina – as a theme of connection with the land where he grew up, with the flow of the river, the passage of time and the eternal song of life.
Accompanied by Amalia Sadreev, clarinetist from Kazan, who skilfully transforms the feeling of Doina through his instrument. The clarinet sings this Doina song in „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului" together with a male voice, echoing and complementing each other. 
The polyrhythmic melody of „Sand“ is performed with an acoustic guitar. Meant to induce our subconsciousness, this melody might feels familiar to some, being once sung by a male or female voice. It shall connect us with the mood of that ever-flowing song of life.

The EP comes with 4 Remixes. Each of them combining the original idea of the songs with the unique style of the artists:

Portuguese duo Ohxalá (@ohxala) casts their unmistakable groove on „Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului“ by drawing a baseline, that simply invites you to jump up and dance.

Hungarian artist BéTé (@destroydisco) is known for his bright and colourful edits. He adds the song a typical pinch of playfulness and emphasises its trippy character.

C.love (@cloveontherocks-1) sprinkles the flair of her habitat, the Californian Joshua Tree desert. She kinda lets the sun dry out „Sand“ and sieves it’s grains. The result is a rough and psychedelic texture, spiced up with a fine dash of acid.

Istanbul based artist Erhan Yilmaz (@erhanyilmazedits) stirs in an oriental flavour to his interpretation and let’s the Nistru river flow a little faster. He pours in a mysterious and bouncy wave that is all set for its vigorous slosh on the dance floor.

Enjoy the flow! ~~~

Bliz Nochi Ft Amali Sadreev - Nisip De Pe Malul Nistrului

Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

Whenever we say goodbye - Text written by Nat Daniels https://soundcloud.com/natdaniels

Evergreen we all begin
Never knowing what we lose and what we win
We take our chances where we can
Finding love between a woman and man

But with the sweet comes the bitter
With sunshine, there’s always been some rain,
And raging like the drops that splatter
I believe in us, through the laughter and the pain
Though the road may take you, You’ll come home again,
‘Cause you know inside, our song’s all sound the same
And we’ll fight until we tumble in our breathless fire and come alive again..

And Whenever we say goodbye…
A little of me dies each time..
Time will flow … we’ll be together..
No Goodbye….. Oh no.. Goodbye’s not forever..

Sometimes hearts must break and shatter
But hindsight can renew and mend again….
It takes two minds that know what matters
And the courage to reach out and make a change…
I may not say all the time,
And sometimes I may fail at being kind…
But I will love you ’till I die,
No Goodbye is not forever.. When we say goodbye
Goodbye’s not forever…

Whenever We Say Goodbye

Whenever We Say Goodbye  by Nat Daniels & Martin Hirsch

This song was written by Chuck Berry while in prison and was recorded
in 1964.  This " poor boy" traveled across dozen states by bus, train and
plane to get to his promise land (California).  It was also recorded by
Elvis Presley .  Remember, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Freddy Weller,
had a hit with it also.  Louisiana's own Johnny Allen also had a hit with
it here in cajun land.  Having a little fun with this one.

"Bloody Angel" is the new single from Avatar's upcoming album 'Hail The Apocalypse'
Preorder 'Hail The Apocalypse' on iTunes here - http://ow.ly/vyJxD

"Bloody Angel is about shame and guilt. You look around and watch all the suffering and while searching for someone or something to blame, you end up in front of the mirror. Everything you touch, you break. Everyone you try to save you hurt and push further away. It is a sad reality of being alive, the fact that the closer you get, the more pain you risk inflicting. You try to stay in the light, spread your wings and aim for the sun. But your eyes and hands are covered in blood and you hit the ground, dragging everything that matters with you. The riff is pretty cool too." -Johannes Eckerström of Avatar

I tried to sing and play this song but it was just to emotional for me. I thank Johnny for taking the lyrics and creating this track...it really means a lot to me. Johnny Minstrel is from Durban, South Africa. Please donate to Alzheimer's research if you can. In memory of my Dad.

Lyrics:
EVERY MORNING AFTER BREAKFAST
HE DROVE TO THE LOCAL COFFEE SHOP
ONE MORNING EVERTHING CHANGED
AS HE WALKED OUT OF THAT SHOP
SITTING IN HIS TRUCK HE REALIZED
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
WAS SUDENLY VERY CONFUSED
AND DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
HE FINALLY DECIDED TO TURN RIGHT
HE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME
WAS THE FIRST TIME TO LOOSE HIS WAY
AND HE FELT SO ALL ALONE

CHORUS
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO
WHAT'S AHEAD GOD ONLY KNOWS
COULD ONLY REMEMBER THE BAD TIMES
THE GOOD TIMES HAD LEFT HIS MIND
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO

THE DOCTOR MADE HIM STOP DRIVING
COULD NO LONGER GO TO THE SHOP
COULD HARDLY WALK WITHOUT FALLING
HE NO LONGER KNEW WHICH WAY TO GO
I'LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY HE PASSED AWAY
THE NURSE FOUND HIM SITTING UP IN BED
TOLD HER HE'D BEEN TALKING TO JESUS
SHOWED HIM THE RIGHT WAY TO GO

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES)

WISH YOU WELL -   words & music by Beth Williams
if i was a rubber ball i’d bounce back into your life
or a telephone call i’d ring day & night
if i was a falling rain i’d wash the years away
we’d be standing toe to toe face to face
though you’re nowhere to be found
in my heart you’re still around

and i wish you well i wish you well
i wish you well
i wish you well i wish you well i wish you well
where you are

if i was a hot cup of tea i’d be on your tabletop
or a tall willow tree i’d bend ’till you said stop
if i was a bright blue bird i’d be at your windowsill
tap tap tappin’ on the glass come tell me how you feel yea
though you’re nowhere to be found
in my heart you’re still around

and i wish you well i wish you well
i wish you well
i wish you well i wish you well i wish you well
where you are

well i’m not a rubber ball a telephone call or falling rain
not a hot cup of tea a tree or a bird at your window pane
what i am is sorry you’re not in my life
what i am is sorry you’re not here tonight
though you’re nowhere to be found
in my heart you’re still around

WISH YOU WELL - Beth Williams

Oh, Yeah!
Well, The Sun Comes Up
And, the Sun Goes Down
And......I'm Tired of Walking
The Streets of this Old Town
Haven't Seen You Around
Maybe I'll check at The Lost and Found
Oh Yeah, but, there's one thing
And I know it's True
Cuz', Baby, I ain't going Nowhere......
Without You
No, I ain't going nowhere 
Without You.....Yeah
That's Alright
Oh, Yeah, It's OK
Listen to what I say now
To what I say......
Cuz' The Sun Comes Up
And the Sun Goes Down
Said I'm Tired of Walking 
Around this Crazy Old Town
But, there's One Thing
And I know It's True
I don't want to be here 
Without You
No.... Without You
I Don't want to be here
Baby, Without You!

Portuguese  Translated Lyrics
Oh sim!
Bem, o sol nasce
E, o sol se põe
E ...... Estou cansado de andar
As ruas desta cidade velha
não te vi por aqui
Talvez eu vou encontra-te em achados e perdidos
Oh Sim, mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Cuz, Bebê, eu não estou indo a lugar nenhum ......
Sem você
Não, eu não vou a lugar nenhum
Sem Você ..... Sim
Tudo bem
Oh, Sim, é OK
Ouça o que eu digo agora
Para o que eu digo......
Porque "o sol nasce
E o sol se põe
Disse que estou cansado de andar
Em torno desta cidade louca e Velha
Mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Eu não quero estar aqui
Sem você
Não .... Sem Você
Eu não quero estar aqui
Bebê, sem você!

THE UNFORTUNATE SON
                             
BEEN READING JOHN'S NEW BOOK				
SAW IT ON THE BOOK STORE SHELF				
DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK				
JUST A FEW OF THEM WERE LEFT				
BEING A CCR FAN				
WELL I GAVE IT A READ				
I LOVED THAT SIXTIES BAND				
GLAD THAT JOHN TOOK THE LEAD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
OH THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
OH ,YEA, THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
AFTER THE BAND BROKE UP				
HE DIDN'T PERFORM FOR AWHILE				
MET THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE				
CONVINCED HIM TO NOT GIVE UP				
THEN BEFORE TOO LONG				
HE WAS BACK ON TOP AGAIN				
WITH A STRING OF HITS				
FOREVER A BANSMAN				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD				
FOR A FEW PIECES OF GOLD				
AWESOME GUITARIST				
HE PRACTICED EVERY DAY				
ONE OF THE BEST				
HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
THE FORTUNATE SON				
BECAME THE UNFORTUNATE ONE				
BUT NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
AND NOW HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD				
I'M SO GLAD THAT HE'S BACK IN CENTERFIELD

Many thanks to Riff for taking my words and tweaking them a bit to make them flow into this song. Vocals and Music Production/Mix by Riff Beach.

WALKING INTO A SHOP 
OVER IN TUPELO 
WHAT DID I SEE?
BUT, A DUSTY OLD FLAT TOP

WALKED OVER TO IT
PULLED IT OFF THE WALL
AND GAVE IT A STRUM
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TONE

AS I WIPED THE DUST AWAY
IT JUST BLEW MY MIND
IT WAS A ’52 GIBSON J-45
MAN, WHAT A FIND

CHORUS
I PLAY GUITAR BECAUSE I LIKE IT
NOT BECAUSE I'M PARTICULAR’LY GREAT AT IT
I KNOW A BARGAIN WHEN I SEE IT
AND I KNEW I HAD TO HAVE IT
YEAH, AND I KNEW THAT I HAD TO HAVE IT
WHAT MORE CAN I SAY?
I JUST HAD TO HAVE IT THAT DAY

HOW MANY ROADS HAD IT TRAVELED?
WHAT STORIES COULD IT TELL?
ASKED THE STOREKEEPER IF IT WAS FOR SALE
IT SURE PLAYED SO WELL

EVERYTHING’S FOR SALE
I’LL TAKE A HUNDRED OR TWO
FOR THIS OLD GUITAR…….
EVEN THOUGH IT'S WORTH SO MUCH MORE 

BRIDGE
I HAD FIVE HUNDRED IN MY POCKET
GLADLY GAVE IT TO HIM
COULDN'T WAIT TO GET IT HOME
RESTRUNG AND HUNG UPON THE WALL

IT MAY BE WORTH MORE
IT MAY BE WORTH  LESS
TO ME IT WAS QUITE A FIND
BUT, THEN I WOKE UP
FOR IT WAS ONLY A DREAM ……. (AW, MAN!)  >>>  REPEAT CHORUS

I Knew I Had To Have It - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Vocal and Music Production/Mix by Riff Beach

Tough one here.  In recent years, I have lost many family members and so many friend.  The deepest cut was the lost of my beautiful 31 year old daughter a few years ago this month.  As members of this human race we all share in these emotions and feelings.  Many, many good days, some sad.  SO IS LIFE

I just wanna’ go back
To a jumpin' little bar
Called The Sugar Shack

You just can’t stay off your feet
No need streaming music
When I’m dreaming you
Makes me wanna' go back

STOP MUMBLING AND SPEAK UP SON

did you get my message yesterday
the blue light never flashes anyways
as if i had something to say
or wanted to meet you halfway

i can hear what you say
i can here
i can’t hear
i can hear
i can’t here

we’ll talk in circles in our beds
just talk until the moon is dead
words we’ll just forget
until we just forget

about the little boy
who never enjoyed
the things in life
we’ll help him out
before the day
it ends in fright

oh boy what ever happened to you
you were so innocent

Message For You

I first heard this tune from the great Tony Rice (bluegrass flat picker). I immediately wanted to pick it and I immediately realized that I was no
Tony and just could not keep up with him.  I still love this tune and had to slow it way down and adapt.   Just picking and singing.

Church Street Blues ( cover)   Tony Rice

This song came to me all at once The Lyrics / Music everything. I had to get out of bed to capture the idea for a morning session.
LIFE OUTSIDE A WINDOW BOX " Ask Yourself " by Glen Granthem
LYRICS
Would you leave behind everything you own
Start a new life create a home
Fall back naked wearing flesh and bone
Walk forward blindly to face the unknown
Live outside a window box, Electric moments unwound clocks
Could you travel the world  one day at a time
Never look back and still have peace of mind
Ride the sea in a ship with a sail
With no regret to live out this tale
Live outside a window box, Electric moments  endless talk
Ask yourself is it to late Just ask yourself if it's to late
Was there a time in life with your greatest love
You took a chance embraced god above
Running free through an open field
Then stopped to pick a daffodil 
And lived outside your window box  Electric moments endless talk
Ask Yourself is to late Just ask yourself if its to late

My Frist Track for the new album. Mixing with my new high end equipment. A song of reflection about the early music festival scene near San Francisco  where I grew up.

Freedom Free Love Free To Be Heard by GLEN GRANTHEM
Play it like you use to play it when you were young
Tearing up a fret board until you reached number one
Spend those days on the green lost in the crowd
Shoulder to shoulder as the band rocks out
Singing songs about peace and love and Smoking grass as guitars strum

Day after day the music was life 
Turntables spin all through the night
One hand on a pipe carved out of stone
All your friends felt right at home
With both hands in the air and Every face wore long hair
Viet Nam was miles away  Every song had its place
Solo
The sixties were like no other time in our life
Draft cards ,Protests , Equal rights
We were coming of age to save the world
Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard
Singing songs about peace and love Smoking grass as Guitars Strum
With Both hands in the air 
Singing Songs About Peace and Love.....

A Whiter Shade of Pale - 1967
< Procol Harum > 
(We skipped) Skip the light fandango
Turning cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda' seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason'
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
And so it was that later

***Release Date 23/02/21***

With an ever growing curiosity for the genre "Exotica", I took inspiration and created this little musical selection for you. Stealing small elements from the past and adding my clunky riffs to create a sort of love letter of sonic wisps, I weaved a tale of one soul's journey to escape the pressures of today's life but to only be pulled back in by the crushing ease. Why is it so hard to disconnect? I'm suffering from Nostalgia syndrome...
