U-Tuesday Gig

I am glad to release this new track, composed on the great lyrics written by https://soundcloud.com/lukowig

Thanks to him for providing me (for the 2nd time) with great french lyrics

Translation in english is below french lyrics


On se craint
on se croche
on s'étreint
on s'accroche
et puis plus rien...

Plus rien
plus de rire
plus de liens
notre bâtisse de pierres
s'effondre à terre...
Plus rien
dans nos mains
plus aucun
lendemain
et ça va faut l'dire
de pire en pire...

On s'effraie :
bas les mains !
On se fraie
un chemin
vers quoi ? Vers rien...

Plus rien...
Même plus faim.
Plus rien
que la fin
d'un chemin
menant sur rien...

-------------------------------------------


We fear each other
we hook each other
we embrace
we cling to each other
and then nothing...

Nothing more
no more laughter
no more ties
our stone building
collapses to the ground...
Nothing more
in our hands
no more
tomorrow
and it goes on
worse and worse...

We are afraid:
Hands off!
We make our way
a way
towards what ? To nothing...

Nothing anymore...
Not even hungry anymore.
Nothing more
than the end
of a path
leading to nothing...

Plus rien

Plus Rien

Tempting September

Delighted to present my latest collaboration with The Phaige, one half of Soundcloud stalwarts One and Other, alongside Jaime J Ross. This is a trippy, exotic backcloth with a cold North wind blowing through. 
Gary once again amazed with his creativity and his multi-layered production. He has such a keen ear for detail and brushstrokes to enhance and improve. What grabbed me from the outset was the slinky, fluid bass playing, but there are many levels across the frequencies to hook you in. Always a fun process to work with him.

All instruments , artwork and production: ThePhaige

Come with me with tales of magic, mountain spirits, hail and snow from your motherland.
Tell me secrets never told of winters bleak and hardship in the biting winter cold - aah

Take me to hidden places where food and love and family keep you warm
I’ll ride with you on Northern winds through deepest valleys and the blackest storms

I’ll sing with you while we are drunk with laughter in our eyes
I’ll listen to your strange new words of love from the North

Fly me faster through the stars to universes only we will ever know
Keep me close and make sweet memories for now and evermore

From North - The Phaige with Nicholas Ridiculous (lyrics in description)

Living long enough, you'll eventually have those that passed on that you either have good memories of them or bad.  This song is for those happy memories, for those people who made our life worthwhile while living and continues to bring smiles to our thoughts many years after they left this earth.

The first lyrics (see below) was about a boy wanting to live up to his father.  But If I were to re-write lyrics, I would write about a town who remembered such a person.  Who even after suffering setbacks and hardships in life, still stood out as someone who would brighten your day.

And for the Sunday crowd look up Proverbs 10:7.

First Start:
Verse 1:
G D/F# Em
There's a young boy in this town,
C G D
With a dream that's going 'round,
G D/F# Em
He wants to be like his old man,
C G D
Strong and kind, with calloused hands.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Verse 2:
G D/F# Em
He listens closely to his dad's advice,
C G D
And tries to be the man he would like,
G D/F# Em
He sees his dad as a guiding light,
C G D
And follows him both day and night.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Bridge:
Am C G
And when the day finally comes,
Am C G
And the young boy is a man,
Am C G
He'll stand tall like his dad,
Am C D
And do the best that he can.

Chorus:
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
He'll be a hero in his father's eyes,
G D/F# Em
He'll work hard every single day,
C G D
And make his dad proud in every way.

Outro:
G D/F# Em
There's a young boy in this town,
C G D
With a dream that's going 'round,
G D/F# Em
He'll honor his dad with all his might,
C G D
And make him proud every single night.

Happy Memories

Lyrics:

All grows dim, time is winding down
My cheeks stay hovered over a puddle of brown
The voices outside of this cramped little box
These choices i've made to breed these cramped up blocks

The shit bubbles burst and trap all the flies
A concoction so twisted, Only someone like Bill Nye
Can decipher all these lies
Can scythe all of these cries
as this pit of stench boils in the middle of July

Out there the souls, eager for pressure to burst
Through their minds like a submarine tank submersed
Parades gather in the grass for the show to start
While these waves slowly rip my brain apart

A wetness caresses my hang lo mein
This water is rising am I going insane?
It tickles my demons but it feels so ripe
There's always a bit of shit at the end of the pipe!

I'm in a fecal position where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
Where the turds capsize
In a fetal position where my sanity dies
This suddenly doesn't seem so real anymore
As the septic tank thickens with the sludge of war
The slimy hand of stench, Pulls me right down
In a puddle of madness, many shades of brown
NO NO NO NO NOOO!
Get a little taste of the waste in the swamp!

This round I'm covering a Japanese pop song.
The problem is, I don't know Japanese but I really like the music.
The original was performed by veteran singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga.  
I kind of shifted a little bit towards country pop in my arrangement and added an outro sax for completeness.  Just see what you think.

Apology to my Japanese friends for my probable weird pronunciation.

[LYRICS per Google Translation]
For you
I do not mind staying in my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

Easy eyes are created
I keep silent in that sky
Even if you do not miss a mystery love
Now I can not find a night here

For you 
I'm looking at a dream I have never seen before.
For you
Close your eyes, I love you

As the moment of two people runs out 
the troublesome thing to wear on your body
I can show you through

A desperate thought has risen up in that
All goes on to love as it is

For you
I do not mind having even my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

[ORIGINAL LYRICS]
あなたのために hu hu
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために huhu
透きとおって I love you

やさしい目が 创りだす
その空气に 默り迂む
ミステリーな恋  愉しんでも
探せない夜が いま ここに  

あなたのために huhu
见たことのない 梦を见つめてる 
あなたのために
目を闭じて I Love You

二人になる瞬间へ
走りだして 行くために
身に振りかかる わずらわしさ 
突き拔けてみせる いつ だって 

沸き起こる とりとめない想い
すべて 爱しさへ つづく

あなたのために ya ha
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために ya ha
透きとおって I Love You

For You  (Anata no Tameni)  Cover

worst friend i ever had

This is what I did.
Fast asleep now
Time was our only enemy 
Be good
Nick
