You Complete Me

Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Rivas @j-rivas

I was knocked out when Jimmy offered this beautiful song to me to sing, but then it took me 3 months to build up the confidence and to practice it. Jimmy is one of my favourite singers on SC (or anywhere) and he makes everything sound easy as he is so professional, so I hope you don't mind my take on this. Thank you Jimmy for sharing your skills with me.

You complete me
no matter how I feel
even with my nerves of steel
when the day is done
I know something good has begun
you complete me
when the day is warm
and the blue skies form
we sail on a following sea
far away from big pine key

You Complete Me - J.Rivas & Mark J Bennett

Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
wasn't thunder was a bomb just a bomb there's
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
That wasn't thunder just a bomb just a bomb baby
No time to wonder what went wrong it went wrong move on, move on, move on move on
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun bring a smile to your face
I've been alone for so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Babe, wake up it's a beautiful day
Feel the sun put a smile on your face
I've been alone so long
Can't get a hold of you
Screaming but nobody's home
Calling but I'm getting nothing from you
time made us older still fight like a soldier I'm not giving up on the truth
I'm getting nothing from you
Head full of dreams we'll have all that we need I am not gonna stop until we do
Not gonna stop until we do
Not giving up on the truth
Not gonna give up on you
Not giving up on the truth never give up on you
Original 3/3 chord progression written by Dave Ferrairo
Mike Molino vocals, piano, drums, bass, guitar, synth, lyrics 
Mike: Dave sent me this 3/3 chord progression that he came up with on acoustic guitar. I had it in my playlist for about a year. One day while sitting in my car waiting for my daughter to come out of Lacrosse practice it came on and I started singing "Calling but I'm getting nothing from you". I went home and played it on the piano. Had to add the D G C part at the end of the chorus to fit the vocal melody. And if you want to really get musician nerdy I had to go to the F# a measure early for "I've been alone for so long" for it to land on "long". I didn't want it to stay slow throughout the entire song so I added the 4/4 part after the first chorus "wasn't thunder was a bomb...." and that brought me back to the verse but more up tempo and still 4/4. I had to cut that off to get back to 3/3 chorus so I created "screaming but nobody's home" which allowed me to stop making it easy to pick up with the 3/3 chorus

Calling

This is my Covid Project.
Up until recently I reckon I was the only person on the planet not to have experienced the dreaded virus!
Anyway, I finally caught it while trying to record this song. All fairly mild but it lingered a while, and affected my voice a bit. 
This song has been knocking around for so long now I haven't the heart to do any more re-recording :) So ........ up it goes.
PS all better now ....... eventually!

This is an afrobeat song that I came up with based on a beat I boosted from BandLab. They have all kinds of great beasts on there, btw. Anyway, I sent it halfway around the world to my friend Mikey McFaffington in Australia. he proceeded to summon his magical saxophone throughout the song, bringing it to life. We both had a lot of fun making this one, and appreciate you taking the time to read this. I'm playing bass, guitar, electric piano, and synth horns on this one. 

No Such Thing as an Enemy (with Mikey McFaffington)

Written and recorded close to the Avon in Stratford upon Avon, Nov 2022
Rick's drums added via the internet from just north of Finham Sewer in Dec 2022 ;-))

Guitars upon Avon

A song that touches on the realm of mental health and how we need to help break down the defence of such a powerful illness. It’s not a box to tick or a problem to solve its far more complicated than that. 
If theirs someone we love or just someone we know or even a complete stranger just shine a little light into there corner. This will let them now they are not alone and we are here to talk and help. 
The song as been recorded with live instruments remotely and me and Sarge  we would like to thank the musicians who got involved.
Sarge as produced, played several instrumentals and liaised with the other musicians to make this happen. Enjoy
