Open Up Your Heart

Lyrics:

Desperate to make it work this time,
But following the same footsteps,
Just didn't drink enough again and try,
For once, not be myself.

And I've seen it all before,
Enough to be tired.
Endless ad for the greatest show,
Timely sold to the mind.

What's in it all for me?

A chance to try again one more time,
Still impatiently waiting for light.
Tired...
Tamed...
In dreams within the lies,
Tone-deaf to reason in this quiet
Echoes of my own self

Denied faults.
In deception of the shadows on the sand,
Restless voices in the corners of the mind
Leaving fear of coming moment of the wake,
Chanting back the siren's word to feel alive.

A stifling disguise is all that's left in the end.

And I've seen it all before,
Enough to be tired.
Endless ad for the greatest show
Timely sold to the mind.

What's in it all for me?

Elusive

Peace Of Mind

No Regrets

I’ll be so alright 
I’ll be so alright 
In a darkness past jet black 
I can tell you there’s no trail back 
And I know that you’re still here 

You can fear me if you want 
Do you want to hear a joke?
You can fear me if you want
You know 
I can’t tell if you’re the laughing kind 

In an alabaster fog
Trying to regain my bearings 
Think I know where you are 
I can feel your presence 
I can feel your presence 
I like it here 
I don’t wanna leave yet 

I’ll be so alright

I know you’re still here 

Do you want to hear a joke?
I don’t know…

I can’t tell if you’re the laughing kind
I can’t tell if you’re the laughing kind

The Laughing Kind

Two Lovers

TIME TO GET BUSINESS STRAIGHT
Original song by Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators
Rock'n roll reinterpretation by Overdrive

Syncopated vocals have become something of a rarity these days. Most singers prefer to create melodic lines that fit perfectly into the tempo of the song -- because it's much simpler, the vocals can be created in one go, on the same day, without too much effort. But every now and then a talented singer comes along who decides to break the tempo of their vocals in an absolutely original way. 

This is the case of soul singer Nicole Willis in the song "Time To Get Business Straight". 

The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely fascinated by the broken rhythm of her vocals. And the way the second part of the song repeated the first part made it clear that those vocals were far from improvised -- on the contrary, each intricate part was designed to be there, as if it were a mathematical structure.

Check out the original version:

I extracted the vocals using Ultimate Vocal Remover and realized that the melodic line fit very well into rock songs. In fact, they were even the provisional vocals for the song "Rocket", before the amazing singer Sumi took over the microphone and did a brilliant job. But the idea of using Nicole's vocals remained and after the good response to the cyberpunk reinterpretation of "I'm Bored", I thought it would be interesting to attempt a rock'n roll reinterpretation of "Time to Get Business Straight".
 
Of course, I tried to get in touch with Nicole Willis during the process of creating the song and after the track was posted on Soundcloud. She currently lives in Finland and is still active as a singer in her sixties. Here's one of her most recent performances:

Her social networks, on the other hand, seem to be rarely accessed and I've had no success in contacting her. Damn, it would have been an unforgettable collab, I'm sure of it. 😄

Hope you enjoy my rock'n roll version of this soul music classic.

Yet, as I release my new track, it's a homecoming to the profound and personal style of post-rock that truly defines me. This piece isn't just another song; it's a testament to my evolution as an artist. It reflects a return to my roots, embodying the intricate layers and emotional depth of post-rock music. It's an invitation to lose oneself in the expansive soundscape I've created, where each note and silence tells a story. As you listen, I hope you find within this music a reflection of your own journeys, emotions, and dreams.

Holding Out

90's Inspire rock and roll direct from Metro Detroit.

Dive on in, who said life was always colorfast.
Cut and run you've been out done by another broke iconoclast........
Broken down iconoclast.

And if you decide it's worth the strain of one my try, then wash away the dirty days, I'll be standing by.
One more plan that we design falls apart one more time, so find a way to better days.......I'll be standing by.

Try holding something new that's running out of time.
Another fear, one more lie, another rock we just can't hide behind.

And if you decide it's worth the strain of one my try, then wash away the dirty days, I'll be standing by.
One more plan that we design falls apart one more time, so find a way to better days.......I'll be standing by.

Cause we walk away from better days. We're holding up, because we're standing by.

Standing By

Stand By

Are you watching the earth spin around?
Through the clouds, through the clouds, all the clouds.
You don't lift up your head up and look round.
Look around, look around, at the clouds.
When the cloudburst is tumbling down.
To the ground.

See you speak but you don't make a sound.
Look around, for the sound, for the sound.
And you're only a face in the crowd?
Walking round, head bowed down, bowing down.
Won't you get your head out of my clouds?
On the ground.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.

Is your head fucked up spinning around?
Spin around, round and round, spinning round.
Is your head still stuck up in a cloud?
Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down.
You choose now to take your look around?
To the ground.

When you can't see the wood for the trees?
On your knees, to your knees, on your knees.
And if you don't stay still you will freeze.
As you please, as they please, as I please.
All the clouds floating off on the breeze.
On your knees.

Stars fill the gaps that the clouds can't replace.
Somebody said they can see through your face.



The Clouds

Lyrics:
Godless, I couldn't see it 'till the fall
'Till the flames came, the stars dropped
I collapse from Heaven to Hell
Hamiel, you taught me much
But I can't clean this city alone
Without my wings, without guidance
This guardian angel needs his guard
I never noticed, these streets run red
With every sinner's brand new kill
On every hill, another noose
Another crucifixion scene
I could've sworn that just last week
These graves were flower beds
"They were, my ward, this sin is new,
I suppose he's set your final task"

Could've sworn
Could've could've could've could've 
Could've sworn
Could've sworn
Could've could've could've could've 
Could've sworn Could've sworn
Sworn

I could've sworn that just last week
These graves were flower beds
I couldn't see it 'till the fall
This town is godless
The flames came, stars dropped

I said to Hamiel "we need to get back"
But the whites in his eyes
Had faded to black
"You must stay in this city, it's still yours to protect"
So I did as he said, as fast as he came he left

A wise old man, hung his cat from a tree
His eyes were blank
He said the devil made him do it
A girl murders her friend one night
Snuck in, drew from blood a sigil
Her eye had faded to a deep red
I showered her torment in vision
She repented

I could've sworn that just last week
These graves were flower beds
I couldn't see it 'till the fall
This town is godless
The flames came, stars dropped

"Who did this to you"
"He wore a thousand faces.
There was beauty in his eyes.
But soon it faded."

"Hamiel, so" now I scream to the heavens
"Is this what you call love?
Is this what you call protection?"
"I never promised to save this feeble race,
You were a part of the plan,
Now for the night of judgement"
Strike me down
The clouds turned red
Yom HaDin
The sky opened up

I could've sworn that just last week
These graves were flower beds
I couldn't see it 'till the fall
This town is godless
The flames came, stars dropped

There, stood in the wreckage
With tattered wings and body red
The face of ages, the lord of flames
Samiel
Hamiel approached without caution
They embraced each other
Like long lost friends
And with their hands held together
They ascended into Heaven
Then they grabbed me by the throat
And dragged me as high as they could go
They held me there, and made me watch
As my home turned to ash
I fought their grip, even if I'd fall
I wouldn't go down like this
I said "Hamiel, what happened here?
What happened to the good we'd do?"
I saw a change in his eyes
His blacks faded blacks to whites
He looked at me, then Samiel
Then Heaven, half in dust
As fast as sound, he grabbed Samiel
And dragged him to the ground
He choked him on the city hall steps
They pavement shook at magnitude eight
A cloud of dust shrouded them
But I could hear every cut
When the dust settled, the sky was blue
And there was only
Wings and bones.

I could've sworn that just last week
These graves were flower beds
I couldn't see it 'till the fall
This town is godless
The flames came

I could've sworn that just last week
These graves were flower beds
I couldn't see it 'till the fall
This town is godless
The flames came, stars dropped

BABYLON TERRACE

Lyrics:
(We haven't met yet)
(We haven't met yet)

That bridge in the fog
Through the clouds it peaks
To meet another friend
That will not speak
The iron clad wall that climbs familial faces
Reeks a sense of nostalgia
But we haven't met yet

(We haven't met yet)
(We haven't met yet)

Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home
I lost count of my demons but they know me by name
I'll walk thirty miles instead alone
I feel dirty and I feel insane

You don't know the words or the means, yet speak
Like the friends in masks who claim identities meet
The iron clad wall that climbs familial faces
Reeks a sense of nostalgia
But we haven't met yet
Dead eyes staring off right into the chasm
Remembering every last chance, every regret
The people who wronged me and the people I wrong
Hit it, I've got to hit it

That bridge in the fog
Through the clouds it peaks
To meet another friend
That will not speak
The iron clad wall that climbs familial faces
Reeks a sense of nostalgia
But we haven't met

Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home
I lost count of my demons but they know me by name
I'll walk thirty miles instead alone
I feel dirty and I feel insane

(Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home)
(I lost count of my demons but they know me by name)
(I'll walk thirty miles instead alone)
(I feel dirty and I feel insane)

So many contradictions, I can't comprehend excitement
Am I shaking from anxiety or passion?
I can't support the people or the message or the actions
But this chance is a once in a lifetime
I'm convinced we're falling out
From a single messy night
And a minute change in your voice
I know that it's the demons putting the thoughts in my head
But it happened before, why can't it happen again?
So many contradictions, I can't comprehend excitement
Am I shaking from anxiety or passion?
I can't support the people or the message or the actions
But this chance
This chance is a once in a life.

Bleeding hemorrhages on travels home
I lost count of my demons but they know me by name
I'll walk thirty miles instead alone
I feel dirty and I feel insane

ANACHRONIST

"That's What Friends Are For" is a raw, stripped-down folk-punk anthem that captures the resilience, camaraderie, and bittersweet reflections of everyday life. Built around a driving, percussive acoustic guitar, the song thrives on its rhythmic urgency, with each strum acting as both a pulse and a protest. The lone vocal delivery is direct and heartfelt, carrying a mix of defiance and melancholy, reminiscent of classic Billy Bragg-style storytelling.

Lyrically, the song shifts between moments of nostalgia, frustration, and hope—painting vivid images of fleeting joys with old friends, quiet moments of introspection, and the unshakable feeling of being caught in a system that promises more than it delivers. The recurring chorus, delivered with an almost mantra-like intensity, reinforces the idea that friendship and solidarity are the true anchors in turbulent times.

With no excess instrumentation to hide behind, That's What Friends Are For embraces its simplicity, letting the raw emotion shine through. The stark contrast between the warmth of shared moments and the weight of personal struggle makes it an intimate yet anthemic piece—one that lingers long after the final chord fades.

That's What Friends Are For
You and I, a sunlit sky, and them
We close our eyes and sometimes we pretend

Walk on water, swim against the tide
Gazing at my shoes, I wonder why
But it doesn't stop you trying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

Shadows fall on leaves as they descend
Stand beneath the trees with my old friends
Laugh at jokes I've heard ten times before
It doesn't matter, that's what we're here for

I can't help feeling that they've trained us well
Promising us heaven
While we're living here in hell
How it works out well, it all depends
On you and I, a sunlit sky, and them

But it doesn't stop you crying
And now the sparrows, they're all flying

(Chorus)
That's what friends are for
You know the score
That's what friends are for
That's what friends are for
You know the score

That's What Friends Are For [ Post punk | Singer Songwriter]

Thanks a lot amazing https://soundcloud.com/lisa-p-442529239 for incredible collaboration. It's been a while since I worked with a vocalist and it's amazing how well the vocals fit the music and perfectly hit the target in creating right atmosphere.

Lyrics:
I must descend, for me to ascend
regress to redress, the balance of my broken mind
the shadow is suspending me from all that I intend to be
diving deep into the well to save the ghosts who dwell,
I must descend, to bring me back to life
to bring me back to life
I must descend, for me to ascend
now the shadow is suspending me from
all that I intend to be
sink back down to images of agony
terror is my mirror
of fear
suppressing time inside my mind
layers of repression
testing the possession of the demons I keep inside
intent on override
shadow, my shadow lies over me (rep)
I despise the incubus deep inside, poisoning my soul, crawling inside me
deep down the well

Shadow

Shadow (From Sands & Skyline Tigers)

I love amphibians and have an affinity for fried okra, loud guitars, and sick beats. expedition 33 and port wine are my thing at the moment.
