Awesome tune, folks, nice dynamics, great playing, and great mix!

Some musical flowers for my friends by in listening to my story took away its weight and are allowing me to clear away the residue.

Flowers for my Friends

Only the baddest of b's sits in my backseat icl.

(lyrics:)
Driving thru rickey in my spaceship
Looking back were kinda doing 80
Blue lights, feds are try to chase me
Parked up, i won't be out lately  

Fed chase racing thru the back streets 
Bad b say she tryna mad me
Ass fat put her in the back seat 
Seat back i dont truss no bad b
Bad bitches always come around in the night time
Tryna say there fine there's a feeling that they cant find
Losing all their feelings as they count time
Baby let's go back, you can have mine

If you wanna ride around with miggy in the back streets
You gon have a good time, you is not a bad b
You is just a friend, you ain't never gona have me
So i aird your snap and you went and un add me
I was out smoking weed while y'all were in the back rooms
Shawty dumb af about to eat the a batch of bad shrooms

Listen to my story it has a kind of message
Don't you look away even tho its so depressive
I got shit to say tryna teach you a lesson
I know shit today i won't even have to mention
Did i have to mention all the things that they did
Things that they said, all the truth that they hid
I will not be silenced, 15 i was a kid 
Had to move away, for the things that he did

Driving thru rickey in my spaceship
Looking back were kinda doing 80
Blue lights, feds are try to chase me
Parked up, i won't be out lately 

Fed chase racing thru the back streets 
Bad b say she tryna mad me
Ass fat put her in the back seat 
Seat back i dont truss no bad b
Bad bitches always come around in the night time
Tryna say there fine there's a feeling that they cant find
Losing all their feelings as they count time
Baby let's go back, you can have mine

Backseat Bad B

It’s amazing what mastering can achieve - but it’s also amazing how many things can influence the results we get right from the recording stage.

In this episode Ian talks to Mike Senior about how to fix mastering problems at the recording stage, without using a time machine ! Topics include how to avoid:

    Muddy mids
    Harsh guitars
    Sibilance
    Resonant snares
    Boomy or hollow vocals
    Exposed vocals
    Stereo image issues

And many more !

Mike has put together a fantastic page of resources for this episode, including an excellent video about stereo mic technique - click here make sure you check it out !

The Mastering Show

The Mastering Show Podcast #87 - Fix mastering problems - in the recording !

As soon my co-writer played me the riff in this song my imagination went straight to an alien invasion. I even wrote an alien chant.

Buy song;

Alien Season
Pack up your shit boys
It’s goin down
It’s a good day to die
On this hallowed ground
You’ve seen what they can do
When they get inside of you
Mount up Let’s ride

Chant;
Ensenta halli haley 
Entomba da sen
LaMari band a saye 
Dark Del tooh tha hunday

This day is for heroes 
that die for the one
and fall for the many
Just remember who you are
You fight for the stars

In this alien season
we kill for love and reason
That’s who we are

Ensenta halli haley 
Entomba da sen
LaMari band a saye 
Dark Del tooh tha hunday

Chant: repeat

(I originally wrote the chant in this
song to represent the military chant of 
an alien army marching out to defend their  
home world against impossible odds)
I personally dedicate my part in this song (lyrics, melodies and singing) to the heroic efforts of the Ukrainian armed forces.

(DEATH TO THE) MIND SEND

Hail to the mind send
I hope you think you’re ready
Hail to the mind send
They hope you think you’re ready

And if you’re not, that’s okay
They don’t know you anyway
But if you talk like you know
They just might let you go

Hail to the mind send
It’s got you undercover
Hail to the mind send
You’ll never be discovered

Now that you’ve found them, you can say
That theirs is the only way
And if you talk like you know
They might never let you go

Did they teach you anything,
like who you ought to be?
Did they teach you anything,
like what you shouldn’t see?
Did they give you anything,
like words that make you dream?
Did they make you anything,
like part of their machine?

Is that what you want to know?
Is that where you want to go?
Is that what you want to see?
Is that who you want to be?

If you don’t, it’s okay
They don’t need you anyway
They’ll always talk like they know
But you know where they’ll go

Death to the mind send
We hope they know we’re ready
Death to the mind send
They’ll always know we’re ready

And if they don’t, that’s okay
They don’t know us anyway
But if they talk like they know
We might never let them go.

The next track released for my collection, "Dragon's Droppings," is another fun adventure. As a tribute to creativity, it features an unusual time signature, evolving musical elements, and other twists and turns. Fun fact: listen for the Morse code, which spells out a few words from the lyric (see below).

PLATFORM 5

Up here on Platform 5,
so good to have arrived 
On air that’s elevated*,
we sail above the tide

Up here on Platform 5,
senses come alive
Vision unrestricted,
music amplified

Up here on Platform 5,
spirits are revived
Vital force electric
Weightless souls inspired

Up here on Platform 5,
the stage is energized
Each actor activated*
by a drama forged in fire

Up here on Platform 5,
each step is improvised
Create* with every movement,
open every door

Up here on Platform 5,
life is harmonized
Every note we animate*
within an endless score

Platform 5

Another track released for my collection "Dragon's Droppings". This jazzy, funny little number describes a difficult relationship from the woman's perspective. Lyrics are below. Thanks to my amazing cousin Nancy for her wonderful vocals on this one, and to my friends Pete and Marco for doing great guitar and bass work.

[THE] BUBBLING PRESSURIZATION EFFECT SOUND
T. W. Tobin

Things are getting hotter 
and talk is getting tough
This crazy thing ain’t working 
and I think I’ve had enough
He’s working all the angles 
and he’s bending all the rules
He’s got me in a corner
like he’s done with other fools

The bubbling pressurization effect sound

It used to be a good love
It was always eye-to-eye
There wasn’t any reason 
for the daring do-or-die
But now he’s changed his story
He’s impossible to please 
The fatal blow is building
and my head can feel the squeeze

It’s a matter of contention
It’s a question of degree
How many women have lived
to tell this mortal misery
When all is looking hopeless
and you’re about to lose your thread
There’ll be a blurring of your vision
and a pounding in your head.

Bubbling Pressurization Effect Sound

This next track released for my collection, "Dragon's Droppings," is my tribute to the exotic sounds of the Middle East. Imagine the stories of Scheherazade and the 1001 Nights with the adventures of Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sinbad. Thanks to my friend Phil for the wonderfully mysterious guitar solo.
T. W. Tobin: drum kit; instrument programming (percussion, fretless bass, Eastern instruments, orchestral instruments); mix and master

Lyrics:

Wanting your love to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss

Now you’re above feeling it still
Tell me it’s love, tell me it’s real
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

Because this is where I want to be
Where it’s so sweet & heavenly

I’m giving you all my love

Needing you now to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

When you’re above feeling it still
Tell me it’s love, tell me it’s real
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss...

& when you’re far away I still feel it all
& when you’re far away I still feel it all the same...

Heavenly

Rock project from Victoria, B.C. Canada.  Consisting of Kelly Orr on vocals, Thomas Stevenson on guitars, Chris Lawson on bass guitar and Jim McCarty on drums.
