Wow, Jamie's piano solo here is sickk, love this run here. Masterful work from two musical masters

A deep pleasure. Killer bass, and I've never heard Jamie play piano. He did bring it!

Such tight playing and groove, getting some Ronnie Laws vibes, love it!

Such cool and clean playing from you both!

Love it when I hear good jazz on SC...and it's pretty rare to find it.  Glad I found your music!

Yes Andy! Tasty and lyrical solo as always!

lyrics:
I say let's get outta here, let'go where noone's near
and don't let fear reign on you

I say let's climb the highest mountains, let's drink from the holy fountains
and don't go back anymore

Don't take anything for granted, now the world's gone haunted
and this is what i say , from now on...


Grateful, not stranded
faithful like there's no tomorrow
ohhhhhh ohhhhhh

not dreadful nor abandoned
not shameful like there's no tomorrow
ohhhhh ohhhhhh

You got scared, trembling from fear
Like there's no one here, but you've got all that you need

material, this useless serial, your soul is imperial
don't let vanity make your demons feed.

New Beginning (feat. Jamie Rhind)

how many steps to you ??

This is a song for anyone who has ever been gaslighted by a narcissist 

The Problem

Every time I hear this song
I think of the time that you told me that I was
The problem with everything gone wrong
In everything I’d done

I took every pill they said to take
And I get to take them every day
I don’t feel that much but I still hate you

I don't think it's true just what they say
Everything has changed except the pain
They tell me I should but I don't pray for you

Every time I see your car
I think of the lie that you sold me that I was 
Your brother but you’re the only one
That you’ve ever loved

Faster than you can gain it back
On the attack before you lack
When will you learn that you can’t make the truth

Why did it take so long to see
Every flaw you made me bleed
Was crafted as you distort reality


Every regret that I have made
I live them again until I break
But quitting you helped me set it straight through

Every time I hear this song
I think of the lie that you sold me
That I was the problem
But you’re the only one
That no one else can love

You’re the only one
Your never can outrun
You're the only one
Your problems have become


If I could just forget
And do it all again
Maybe I’d still be there to
The letter



The Problem

Another track inspired by the Foundation SciFi books by Isaac Asimov. I love how his books pursue a mystery, only to be replaced by a new one just when you think you've got it... That's life for you. 
The guitar parts were played on a Duesenberg Paloma put through a pitch vibrato, plate reverb, a ping pong delay and a modern amp.

NICE GIRL ON A BIKE (Lyrics)
(Not a love song, but a song about mindfulness.)
Intro
V1
Again one of these days.
I had to get out into the light.
To escape the darkness.
V2
So I took a walk around the block.
Sun on my face.
Fresh air in my lungs.
PRE-CHORUS
Lost in thoughts and totally relaxed.
My walk became longer and longer.
V3
I found myslef sitting on a park bench.
I sat there, thoughtful and alone.
But I´m not going home.
V4
People walked past me.
Alone, in pairs or with their dog.
I didn`t want to look at the clock.
PRE-CHORUS
I was lost in thoughts and completely relaxed.
My day was getting better and better.
CHORUS
I saw a girl on a bike.
She came from the right.
Still very far away. 
She will never know.
That she made my day.
V5
Now she drove past me.
She greeted me kindly.
She looked pretty in her summer dress.
V6
That brief moment felt so good.
Somehow I felt good again.
I will hang onto it as long as I can.
BIDGE
That special moment.
She greeted so kindly!
Just like that.
I didnt´t know I was missing – 
something like that. (Something like that.)
CHORUS
I saw a girl on a bike.
She came from the right.
I thank you for this moment.
Nice girl on a bike.
CHORUS
That brief moment.
Felt so good.
Somehow I felt fine.
I will hang onto it -
as long as I can.
OUTRO
I thank you for this moment.
Nice girl on a bike!
Nice girl on a bike!

Czy wiecznie wpadasz w szał po każdym niepowodzeniu, czy spokojnie starasz się znaleźć rozwiązanie? 😉 Do you constantly fly into a rage after every failure, or do you calmly try to find a solution? 😣 ¿Siempre te pones frenético después de cada fracaso o intentas encontrar una solución con calma?
