Mysterious will prob write a tune with this

very strange and mysterious synth idea

LIG - Ride On - idea - partial

Very old idea - will maybe use

Very old idea that has now become the more mature sounding ‘shake me down’. The vocals I. This will most likely be reused and improved for shake me down which is has no vox yet

original idea that is now ‘shake me down’

spacey melodic composition ide

Voice is blown here from jamming all day but the idea of the song is great.  It would go on ambient album for sure

stars - ROUGH idea from old jam

Vocals will be improved and reused on the new musical template

Very old idea that is now the (RRrev6) idea

Old telecaster only tracking of guitar idea for RERev6/stars

older ambient version of  ‘Stars’ idea with tele delay

Hand played drums just to get idea how good percussion would sound in that rhythm melody is different as well.  Guitar is same but acoustic and no delay

old upbeat take on ‘stars’

Stay - Nick 30 seconds cover

Wrote and tracked this song in 2003.  Never really released it officially or had it available for listeners until now.   The song is very ambient and meaningful with several layers of carefully plotted guitars and melodies etc.   as the song progresses it reaches a peak at the end with what is intended to be a melodic overload of layers

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
If I look for a reason
Try to find my place in time 
I can’t hear what they’re saying 
But I’m sure it’s about my life
She’s got something to tell me
But as it stands I’ve heard it …no
I’m not forgetting
I can’t forget what I’ve seen

Pre-chorus 1: 
This is my life and it won’t be alright
I can’t take it it’s not my time to try
I’m Sorry I lied , but you don’t understand 
Why can’t you be away from me?

Chorus:
Call me tonight 
I won’t hesitate 
If it needs some more time 
I’ll be happy to wait
We all fall asleep
And we dream we’re awake
We won’t say goodbye 
We just move on.

Verse 2:
She’s got something against me
I’ve got nothing to make it right
The last just makes me feel empty
And Now I’m just losing time


Pre-chorus 2:
Take it away and we won’t settle down
We just replace it and we put our plans aside
I’m Sorry I lied , but you don’t understand 
Why can’t you be away from me?


Chorus:
Call me tonight 
I won’t hesitate 
If it needs some more time 
I’ll be happy to wait
We all fall asleep
And we dream we’re awake
We won’t say goodbye 
We just move on.

Bridge (musical)
(Chorus) lyrics and melody come in and repeat as (pre-chorus 2)words and melodies also come in and layer together on split stereo tracks 

Call me tonight 
I won’t hesitate 
If it needs some more time 
I’ll be happy to wait
We all fall asleep
And we dream we’re awake
We won’t say goodbye 
We just move on.
(Repeat)

(Add in after x4:)
Take it away and we won’t settle down
We just replace it and we put our plans aside
I’m Sorry I lied , but you don’t understand 
Why can’t you be away from me?
