This is an afrobeat song that I came up with based on a beat I boosted from BandLab. They have all kinds of great beasts on there, btw. Anyway, I sent it halfway around the world to my friend Mikey McFaffington in Australia. he proceeded to summon his magical saxophone throughout the song, bringing it to life. We both had a lot of fun making this one, and appreciate you taking the time to read this. I'm playing bass, guitar, electric piano, and synth horns on this one. 

No Such Thing as an Enemy (with Mikey McFaffington)

The cakewalk was more than a recreational dance; it also gave a chance for enslaved people to ridicule those who tyrannized them.

What began as a collaboration with Debra Buesking has expanded to include the wonderful vocal talent of Paolo Pieraccini (@mayadog).  His singing, especially in Italian, gives the song a sweet, emotional intimacy and urgency.  A lovely honor to have him grace our song with his talent. Hear more fine music on his profile and Debbie's too @debra_buesking. 
Lyrics in Italian and English:
Dimmi dove sei
Torno a casa e non ti trovo più
Le tue calze sopra il letto
Sempre accesa la TV

Non dimentico
Le tue promesse in bilico
e le domeniche
Sempre spese solo dove decidi tu
Forse ho il cuore troppo piccolo
Per lasciarti la tua libertà
casca il mondo
quando te ne vai

Mille baci e poi
All’improvviso il vuoto fra di noi
Non so perché rimango appeso qui
Il tuo canto mi ha ingannato
e come Ulisse mi salverò
Ma poi ricadrò
nella tua tela ancora

Sei sparita ormai
irraggiungibile
ma è sicuro io ti troverò per dirti che
che non mi arrendo e voglio solo te
Puoi scommetterci
Vorrei sentire ancora i brividi
Mentre stringo la tua mano
per non lasciarti più
………………..
Chissà dove sei

Tell me where you are
I come home and I can't find you anymore
Your socks over the bed
Still on the TV

I do not forget
Your promises in the balance
and Sundays
Always spending only where you decide
Maybe my heart is too small
To leave you your freedom
the world falls
when are you leaving

A thousand kisses and then
Suddenly the void between us
I don't know why I'm hanging here
Your singing deceived me
and like Ulysses I will save myself
But then I'll fall back
in your web again

You're gone now
unattainable
but it's sure I'll find you to tell you that
that I'm not giving up and I just want you
you can bet
I wish I could still feel the chills
As I hold your hand
not to leave you anymore
……………… ..
Who knows where you are

"Fit right in" is an anthem for the different. You are precious the way you are - No matter if you're an individualist, outsider, loner or weirdo. There's no need to fit right in! Go, pick your people and make something great. The lyrics consist of various things and situations that don't fit into a scheme, and are wonderful though. When I wrote the lyrics and composed this song, I knew I had to ask David and Kate. Thank you for turning my little draft into a big ballad with a strong meaning.

==== LYRICS ====

I'm the circle in a field of squares,
the ugly misfit nobody cares
I'm the consonant in the sea of vowels,
the flattest singer in a choir
I'm still in a place I want to be

I'm the acid in a soup of base,
the neutralizer of the disgrace
I'm the rock guitar in an orchestra,
the syncope dancing through the bars
You'll see that I will fit right in

Embrace the fact that you are special
No need to pass a certain threshold
You are strong, carry on,
your weaker self will overcome
as you see, there's no need to fit right in

I'm the black sheep in a flock,
the hidden gemstone inside a rock
I'm the four-leaf clover when the game is over,
the wedding guest who will stay sober
I'm still where I want to be

I'm the apple in the midst of pears
the misconception that disappears
I'm the pinch of salt in your single malt
the greyish bread being baked of scald,
the sweet thing in your receipt

Embrace the fact that you are special
No need to pass a certain threshold
You are strong, carry on,
your weaker self will overcome
as you see, there's no need to fit right in

You are strong, carry on,
your weaker self will overcome
as you see, there's no need to fit right in

Lyrics:

What can I say 
I don’t know what to think
Can’t shake this feeling
It overwhelms me

only solution
Seems to be
just to run away

That’s the way
I’ve dealt with
Everything before

every time 
I feel the fear 
and want to run away
I think of you
And I’m not 
so afraid

This tide incoming 
it feels so hopeless
There is no reason
No sense of purpose

pushed around so long
By things we can’t change
We feel abandoned
life has no meaning

that’s an illusion
Things are deeper than
we can ever know

There is infinite joy
Beyond understanding
Beyond the senses,
Living in the truth

Achieving this
no higher goal
grounded in being, unshaken
In pain and sadness

Content with whatever
unattached to pleasure
Gain true freedom
Enter absolute joy

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

Belief without faith
is a quagmire of doubt
never satisfied
In this world or beyond

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

every time 
I think of you
I’m not 
so afraid

Hi Everyone! 👋
Somebody once told me that this song would not be able to be remixed and that's all I needed to hear to give it my best shot

So here is my remix of Moon by Kanye West featuring Kid Cudi and Don Toliver.

Thanks for all your continued support! 💛

Noodling around with a little repeat phrase on a felt piano, it decided it wanted to be this.
