Nap Times Over , composer RALPH WHITE ,performed by the James Carr Band

Space is an album with its feet firmly planted in the hard rock that established itself between the Seventies and Eighties
thanks to groups such as Van Halen, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Kiss, Whitesnake and Bon Jovi (who are thus considered
among the major influences of the music branded Hand On Heart), the single Roses has already been taken. A refined taste
of what you will find in this new, exciting release by Metal Zone Italia. The song won third place in the winter edition of the
international World Songwriting Awards, coming in ahead of artists who have received Grammy nominations and the band
has recently become a member of ISSA (International, Singer-Songwriters Association), an organization based in Atlanta, in
the U.S.A.

Lyrics :
Pour une vraie salope combien d'amoureuses
dont le crane rasé portait la croix gammée
sous les rires vengeurs d'une foule odieuse
d'un peuple libéré suant la lâcheté

Pour un patriote combien de collabos
ont fait sonner les cloches de la liberté
sombre chant d'amnésie ou douloureux échos
mais soufflé par un vent chargé de lourds secrets

pour une rébellion combien de soumissions
dans un pays rongé par les rats de l'histoire
ils ont crié leur haine à la libération
cela même dénonçaient les humbles de la gloire

Pour un juste oublié combien de faux héros
Justiciers de papiers bataillons d'aboyeurs
Fossoyeurs d'innocents vipères de bistrot
Résistant de la dernière heure

Moi qu'aurais je été en ces temps là
Qu'aurais je fait sauver mon âme ou ma peau
Lâche ou héros...

For a real slut how many lovers
whose shaven heads bore the swastika
under the vengeful laughter of an odious crowd
of a liberated people sweating cowardice

For one patriot, how many collabos
rang the bells of freedom
a dark song of amnesia with painful echoes
but blown by a wind laden with heavy secrets

for one rebellion, how many submissions
in a country eaten away by the rats of history
they shouted their hatred at liberation
that even denounced the humble of glory

For a just forgotten how many false heroes
Paper vigilantes Battalions of barkers
Grave-diggers of innocent bar vipers
Resistance fighters of the last hour

What would I have been in those days
What would I have done to save my soul or my skin
Coward or hero...

This song began with Mahan writing a chord progression on his acoutic guitar in hopes of doing something different than his usual punk influenced raucous experimentation. He shared it with Josh after they found each other on the Cloud a couple months ago, and discovered they liked each other's music. Originally, Mahan asked Josh if he'd add some vocals. So Josh, thinking that was as far as he was going to go with it, came up with the lyrics, vocal melodies, and harmonies. Then Mahan encouraged him to add some more parts, if he wanted. So, Josh laid down a piano, mandolin, and bass part to go with it. At that point, it was sounding like a much bigger production than what either of them had accounted for. 
  That's when Josh got the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved. First in was Ken, who added his awesome drums to the mix. Josh and Ken went back and forth a couple of times, as they usually do when trying to dial in the rhythm section. Tez jumped in next with his dynamic electric guitar solo at the end. Then, Mark came along and added the cool, proggy melotron at the end, too, as well as did some expert editing. At this point, it sounded so big that Josh decided to add the symphonic strings you hear throughout, too.
  Once it was in the can, we turned it over to Stephen who not only mixed it brilliantly, but also added a trippy banjo you can hear in the second to last section. 
  We had so much fun recording this, in no small part because Mahan is such a brilliant and desirable collaborator. He really set us up with some magic, and we ran with it. All of his music is exciting and worth a listen on his page. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Josh Clary:

I've been high
And I've been low
Been making plans 
For when I go

Time moves by painfully fast
Everything goes and nothing lasts 


We're only here for a very short time 
You live your life and I'll live mine 
Might as well have fun
Might as well go for a run
Hug my kids, my wife, and folks
Before I go x 2

Into forever dreamless sleep
Wish I had a soul to keep
Time’s like water in my hand
Can't stop the clock's 
Relentless plans
 
When it all comes ‘round
I don’t let it get me down 
‘Cause in the end, 
I won't make a sound
This life is very short 
And we're all very small
Everything’s in motion 
On this spinning ball 
Time flows only one way
I wish it were not so
I’m busy making plans for
When it’s time to go
Take the time to wonder
Make time to wonder 
Wonder at it all.

poem ( previously published in the collection  AUSLEGPAPIER under the title virus ) / copyright jo richter:

to become integrated
into the sprawling self – 
nutrient tissue for the  
tentacles that reach

into the real – each
pinpoint manifestation
allowing to devine
huge outside dimensions

sifting in, taking root -
rearranging molecules
the way any hyperspace chemistry
would – sleeper cells
dreaming back to human-
kind in kind

art rockers jade imagine share new bass heavy remix from GUM & Ginoli

Hot Bath (GUM & Ginoli Remix)

Thanks for checking out my demos!  I create music using an electric guitar and bass, at present my demos don't have percussion, drums were the first instrument I played and someday I would hope to be in a situation where I could play percussion for my music!  I hope you can find a piece of music you enjoy!
