Jazz and Blues

MAY  2018

Jazz -  Blues - swing -etc.

I started this playlist at the start of 2018 and all songs have been selected for only one reason, if I was a record company these songs would be on the radio, not only for who they are, but because they are just great songs, there is no order for these songs because they are all Hits in my opinion, my passion is original/creative music and this is why I enjoy Soundcloud so much, I hope you enjoy these songs and support all the ones you like, 2018 was a great year on the cloud and I look forward to 2019, enjoy and keep on being creative.

One In A Million

Orchestra 26

6 and a half minutes of raw mayhem, bolstered by Mr Jon Martin on the keys, this is a song about the love of music...when you get a good tune in your head, when you feel inspired, to paste over the shite that the real world has to offer, its astrange world we live in these days. I have a chair. and it is indeed the musical place to be. This rips my throat to ribbons so always saved until the end of a show! Hope everyone is good, sending positive vibes to all, thanks to everyone on here supporting us, it's so very much appreciated ta. Big greetings to all, stay tuned folks , the Straights are back in town!

Woman

Thanks to and inspiration from John Lennon's 1968 BBC interview at the National Theatre and the incredibly nostalgic poem 'I Remember, I Remember' by Thomas Hood.

If You Got Soul

If you got soul
You gotta roll

When I was a boy
It would be easy for me to try
To believe all the words that were written in the books
By the seers and the gods on high
Sky high
There's a lie in the lie
That they want you to buy
It's a lie that you can't ask why
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky

No soul destroyer's gonna
rock and roll her baby
No state infraction's gonna
Suppress the action now
Insanity attack
Distortion of the fact
Maniacal quack
Dehumanising
An automatic fact
The stick is in the back
Establishments react
Do they see their own writing
On the wall?
Do they see their own writhing
At all?

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

When I was that boy
It would be easier for me to fly
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky
Sky high
It was a child's sweet ignorance
But oh so little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when I was a boy

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

Para Lia - Over It
words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018

our hideaway
in our favourite coastal dune
is waiting lonely
in the morning dew

time is getting on
long time no see
who are we when
we are fancy free

when the whole world decides to battle against you and me

we'll get over it
we have the clue
we'll get over it
me and you

when the whole world has conspired against me and you

when it rains on us
after travelling for hours to the sea
and we look like drown cats
welcome to the beach

when the bad hair days
trying to grab me and you
and one thing comes to another
in our underuse

when the whole world decides to battle against you and me

we'll get over it
we have the clue
we'll get over it
me and you

when the whole world has conspired against me and you
when we are cast away

when we listen with eyes closed
to our favourite tune
then we'll find our footsteps
in our favourite dune

we'll get over it
we have the clue
we'll get over it
me and you

we'll find our footsteps in our favourite dune

Over It

Para Lia - Over It

This Song is a tribute to the good old times of Jazz Rock and Funk Jazz in the 80th of the century. My heroes of those times were Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Terje Rypdal and so on. Those times were really good times. Have fun with it and: don't forget, to hear it loud, very loud...!  © GEMA

Recorded this a couple of years ago - rediscovered it this weekend and added some guitar and mixed it. I liked the positive energy.... so decided to post it- thanks for listening.

YESTERDAY WAS FOREVER,
COUNT THE WAVES IN THE LONELY SUN,
I GUESS THE RIDE, IT'S BEEN THERE FOR ME,
AND NOW, THE TIDE, SWIMS AWAY,

THE CHILL OF NIGHT HAS SHADED ME,
ONE MILLION STARS IN A HEATWAVE NIGHT,
THE FADE OF DAY, IT;S A PEACEFUL SCIENE
YOU TELL YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOUR NEXT BEST FRIEND,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO SIT TO LONG,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A BORING VIEW,
WE DANCED TO THE STARS, 
IN THE SUMMERTIME,

I THINK OF LIFE AND I THINK OF THE WORLD,
COUNT THE WEEKS, BUT ONLY DAYS HAVE JUST BEGUN,
THE TEST OF TIME, SOMEDAY, I'LL CALL ON YOU,
JUST TO FIND , MY WAY HOME, MY WAY HOME,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO STEAR TO LONG,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE A BORING VIEW,
WE DANCED TO THE STARS, 
IN THE SUMMERTIME,

I'M NOT ABOUT TO SIT TO LONG,

PRÊCHEURS OBSCURS
Prêcheurs obscurs, là dans vos murs, Tous vos sermons, sous religion. Vos impostures, contre nature, Odieux démons, de Dieux sans nom. Aux bataillons, tueurs de fond, Vous, hommes sans âmes, donnez les armes D’une doctrine, qui assassine Les innocents, Dieu est-il grand ?
Dieu de l’amour, reviens un jour, Si tu existes, tu seras triste. De voir tes hommes, qui déraisonnent Aux bains de sang, Dieu est-il grand ?
Au nom de qui, ôter les vies ? Au nom de quoi, pour qu’elle foi ? Tous vos disciples, vos fanatiques Jouent de leurs vies, vous aux abris. Des artifices, pour sacrifices, Prennent leurs corps, semant la mort. Et on mitraille, méchante bataille, Des innocents, petits et grands, Dessous couvert, Sainte est la guerre, De l’occident, pour Dieux déments.
Dieu de l’amour, reviens un jour, Si tu existes, tu seras triste. De voir tes hommes, qui déraisonnent Aux bains de sang, Dieu est-il grand ?
Les scènes d’horreur, des haut-le-cœur, L’apocalypse, des jours d’éclipse. A nous détruire, sans rien vous dire. Prêcheurs obscurs, soyez-en sûrs, Le monde en feu, n’est pas des Dieux./ Toutes vos raisons, n’ont pas de nom Que de faire mal, vos âmes sales, Un jour viendra, tout est si bas Que vous paierez, vos lâchetés. Les religions, qu’elles soient leurs noms Laissent à penser, qu’il faut aimer.
Dieu de l’amour, reviens un jour, Si tu existes, tu seras triste. De voir tes hommes, qui déraisonnent Aux bains de sang, Dieu est-il grand ?

DARK PREACHERS
Dark preachers, there in your walls, All your sermons, under religion. Your impostures, unnatural, Odious demons, Gods without name. To the battalions, fundamental killers, You, men without souls, give the weapons Of a doctrine, which murders the innocents, is God great?
God of love, come back one day, If you exist, you will be sad. To see your men, who are unreasonable In the baths of blood, is God great?
In whose name, take away the lives? In the name of what, for her to believe? All your disciples, your fanatics are playing with their lives, sheltering you. Artifices, for sacrifices, Take their bodies, sowing death. And there's a machine gun, a wicked battle, Innocents, big and small, Under cover, Holy is war, From the West, for Gods insane.
God of love, come back one day, If you exist, you will be sad. To see your men, who are unreasonable In the baths of blood, is God great?
The scenes of horror, gagging, The apocalypse, days of eclipse. To destroy us, without telling you anything. Dark preachers, be sure, The world on fire, are not Gods. All your reasons, have no name What to do wrong, your souls dirty, A day will come, everything is so low That you will pay, your cowardice. Religions, whether they be their names Let them think, that they must love.
God of love, come back one day, If you exist, you will be sad. To see your men, who are unreasonable In the baths of blood, is God great?
God of love, come back one day, If you exist, you will be sad. To see your men, who are unreasonable In the baths of blood, is God great?

Just you and me (Three Photons, December 2018)

Thanks so much to Rene (Para Lia) and Andrew Borderick for listening to an early versions of this tune....

Hope you like some part of it - Cheers, TJG.

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all the time

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

I think I saw you 
at Lions Bay
sipping coffee
at my favorite cafe

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all of my life

But I can't find you
and I'm out of time
I'm out of time...

it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were stealing against time
it was just you and me
we racing against the time
it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night

we were drifting through the night
we were drifting through the night

Para Lia - 'Who Gets Fooled Again'
from the  album 'Soap Bubble Dreams'
https://paralia.bandcamp.com/

words and music by René Methner, Copyright 2018
mix and production: René Methner
mastering: Thomas Heimann-Trosien, TurnstyleMastering, Berlin

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

I HAD THIS DREAM, IT WAS LONG AGO
A MEMORY, OF A LOVER SONG
I REMEMBER WHEN WE FELL INTO THE GRASS
AND AFTER SCHOOL IT WENT SO LONG

BUT IN THAT DREAM, THE WORLD WAS ONE
NO MEMORY, MAY'BE TIME STOOD STILL
I REMEMBER ROCK'N AND DANCING TO THE SHOW
AND EVERY WEEKEND WENT SO FAST

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD STILL
(break)
I FELT PEACE, IN MY HEART AND SOUL
A MEMORY, IN A SONG FOR LOVE
I ONLY HEAR YOU IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
AND TIME STOOD STILL THERE FOR SO LONG

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD

"To my mind, a BLUES doesn't have to be a 12-bar progression. To me, if a song has the right emotion then I accept it as BLUES" - PETER GREEN

"I go by feel, I go by feel. 
The only way I know what's real" - BUDDY GUY

Mostly, as a self-taught guitar player (maybe not... considering all the influences and internet/book resources I've come across lately!)  and rather than trying to be anything remotely near a good player of any great technique, I'm not bound by genre or clichés; I just like to go for it. It's a whole lot better that way. 
Blues is a human expression of emotion. That may explain why I felt called to blues music, even though, I grew up in Europe, a continent apart from the music’s heartlands in America’s Deep South. And that may also be the reason for the great Portuguese Bluesmen we have nowadays (The Legendary Tigerman/Frankie Chavez/Budda Power Blues/Rui Veloso/Dead Combo/The Black Mamba/Mazgani and many others...)

I’m a fan of raw guitar players who aren’t really polished… you’re not sure if it’s all going to fall apart.  Those who, rather than trotting out a collection of preconceived practised licks and lines, take some chances along the way, creating ideas on the spot. IMHO they sound more exciting and impressive for it. I play whatever comes into my head. It's an adventure because when I do a breakdown or a solo, it's new each time and I just let it go... The majority are first take. I just turn it on and press record...they are mostly one moment in time. I’m always looking for something. Sometimes I’m not quite sure what, but you just have to keep looking...
The real beauty is playing without thinking and once you have some concepts down, what comes out, is from the heart.  It's second nature. 
I just enjoy listening and playing some music, in honour of that timeless way of killing time (just for the fun of it...and whenever inspired: "If you're not feeling it, don't play it!"). I'm happiest picking out a blues tune to a suitable backing track. After all, simple music is the hardest to play...
For me, half the battle is to get the right sound. And that, in turn, inspires how you play.
As a tone fiend, I like to let those bluesy guitar tones breathe a little bit. But, almost everything I play, it never, ever comes out quite the way I heard it in my head. Sometimes I end up with something that's kind of close, but it's not quite what intended originally. These uploaded tracks are no exception... They are far from being perfect. First of all, I'm not a fan of perfection when it comes to music...it may even compromise the tone, but if the tone is there, great! It sounds like a human being playing guitar. 
As Dan Patlansky once said "I would rather hear an average player with a great guitar tone than a great player with a bad tone".
 I love stuff that sounds like a spontaneous real-life experience. Playing music is a human activity, and we humans are far from perfect! There is a certain charm in something that feels human with the flow of a spontaneous performance. It's that spontaneity that makes for the magic... 
Feel free to comment good, bad or indifferent and do not hesitate to share any ideas you might have. 

Favourite guitarists (old school suspects apart):
Matt Schofield;  Jim Campilongo;  Walter Trout; Robin Trower; Joe Bonamassa; Andy Timmons; Gregor Hilden; Robben Ford; Larry Carlton (among others)...
