Oh yeah man that drum intro was enough to get me excited

Mike McKillip

work in progress started Friday 11th November 2022
 Third revision/rework uploaded Saturday Nov 19th 2022 (much better for my ears now)

for this challenge:

Record a piece of music that moves between — and perhaps even overlays — 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures.


great idea, always loved measures like 5x8 and 7x8…
I just created a click track on 3 consecutive measures of 5/8+6/8-7/8 and repeated for 3 minutes.
Spent most of the morning working on the drum part, recording editing and quantizing, then the bass part was quite easy.
Then I had other works to do today and got trapped on the repetitive guitars parts (3 telecaster, 3 les paul)
Late in the evening I tried to get some order on the mess but it’s late and have to abandon as it is.
I share this as a demo/work in progress, I will finish it during next week.
It is a mess but the groove is fine.

Five Six Seven Groove - demo (disquiet0567)

Floating, freely, passing through the walls
Blankly, staring, through your eyes from afar
Great to, meet you, I like the way you’re set
Hanging, swaying, legs of a marionette

Give me, your strings, 
I will untangle them from mine

//////////
You are real enough to me
The swarming of the bees 
None of which can even sting
I disconnect for free
/////////

Warming, breathing, a cake is baked within 
Lifting, heeling, controlling my own leash
Spinning, teasing, we’re chasing our own tails
Same thing, next week, before the darkness comes

Gift me, your strings, I now know how to make you move

//////////
You are real enough to me 
Like blooming peonies 
Love so pure and innocent
I reconnect to see

You are real enough to me
The swarming of the bees 
None of which can even sting
I disconnect for free

You are real enough to me
We hold each other’s strings
Dance both on and off the beat
I disconnect at ease 
/////////

Off the Record - The Fades
Bark Like a Dog Records
Friday June 2nd 2023

The Fades release an in your face blast of alternative garage rock rage with 'Off the Record'.

Big riffs, soaring guitar and powerful drums with a simple and maniacal vocal refrain "I don't feel comfortable with my voice on the record"..... Don't quote me on that!

Reminiscent of early Nirvana, elements of Faith No More and the snarl of Idles

Learning How To Love Me
(May 7/Week 44)
CAPO 5 F, C, Am, G
5.13.23

VERSE
every day i get to decide
the clothes on my body
and the words inside my mind 

when did i start telling myself lies 
of all the things to think 
why am i unkind 

PRE
push and fight
strike a match to burn out every time 
i know i’m not far behind
but my mind tells me otherwise 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me

VERSE
i’m standing tall 
i’m standing up high 
watching my thoughts like clouds in the sky 
and i know that it gets cold when the suns gone 
but i can always dance and let the storm rage on 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not

and i’m learning all her triggers
all the ways she copes
when she’s in the dark 
picking up her phone 

and when it gets hard
to like what i see
i remind myself 
i’m just learning
yeah learning how to 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me



to face herself 

 but my mind likes to tell me otherwise

learning how to love me

Livin’ The Lake Life          Writer: Jim Groves


(V1) Throwed out more hooks 
Than anyone in Nashville ever wrote
On a lake that shines like glass
In an old bass boat that barely floats
When that bobber hits the water
I’ll have a cold beer in my hand
All covered up with Banana Boat
Cooler full of day drinkin’ plans

(C1) I could spend my life out on a lake
Where it’s just me and some fish
Gettin’ higher than any bird can fly
Buzzin’ like the bees…
Watch a tequila sunrise, warm that southern breeze
Just me in a boat
Feelin’ alright, hmm mm
Livin’ the lake life

(V2) I’ve drank so much beer out here
I could make this old boat float
My cure for sick of workin’
Is the lake beer antidote

(Pre) Day drinkin’, my 8 hours away
Hell yeah man,
Life is good…

(C2) I could spend my life out on a lake
Where it’s just me and some fish
Getting’ higher than any bird can fly
Buzzin’ like the bees…
Watch a tequila sunrise, warm that southern breeze
Just me in a boat
Feelin’ all right 
Livin’ the lake life
Yeah just livin’…

(Br) When they reach down to take my soul
I’m gonna bring this old bass boat
Drink a beer with some ol’ lost friends, 
in our new fav’rite fishin’ hole 
mm hmm, Until then…

(C3) I’m gonna spend my life out on a lake 
Where it’s just me and some fish
Gettin’ higher than any bird can fly
Buzzin’ like the bees…
Watch a tequila sunrise, warm that southern breeze
Yeah, just me in a boat
Feelin’ all right
Keepin’ my cooler full of ice-cold Miller Lite
livin’ the lake life
yeah man I’m just livin’ the lake life 
Just livin’…
Livin’ the lake life

Lyrics:
I told you once
You told me twice
But I never want to see you
Until you've paid the price

I make you cry
You make me mad
I've never seen you happy and you've never seen me sad

You try everything
Don't cry if I don't wanna sing
Make up a reason to live
Break up when there's nothing to give

I never knew
The work it needs
An endless burning candle
That constantly just feeds

A single step
Is all it takes
But how much longer lasting
When we're waiting for the breaks

You try everything
Don't cry if I don't wanna sing
Make up a reason to live
Break up when there's nothing to give

You try everything
Don't cry if I don't wanna sing
Make up a reason to live
Break up when there's nothing to give
