After I wrote the song "Leone" a friend suggested that the song told too much of the story.  Since he's a proper successful musician who knows a lot I took his advice to heart.  I changed the lyrics so that they told less of the story.  I suppose he was right about the song, but I never felt completely satisfied with the results.  lI suppose I've felt that the new version, the one that's been on this site for a long time, was somehow less honest.  So I've restored the original lyrics, remixed, remastered the song and given it a new name.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
She shared her name with her car
Funny what memories do
Except for the end of her tale
Her name and her car were all that I knew

Verse 2:
I really didn’t know her at all
But even now I remember her name
The thing thing that made her easy to recall
Her name and her car’s were exactly the same

Chorus 1:
Leone was a friend of my first wife
After we split I didn’t see her any more
A Subaru Leone - that's the car that she drove
They stopped making those cars in 1994

Verse 3:
I’m not going to tell you the story
You can look it up for yourself
Boxing Day 2004
If you’re old enough you'll remember it well

Verse 4:
She was lost with so many
A quarter of a million on that day alone
So many people died on that day
But Leone was the only one I’d ever known

Chorus 2:
Tragedies happen all of the time
Somewhere in the world every day
We've all felt the ripples in time
No matter how far away

Verse 5:
Big stories and small
All those beginnings and ends
Leone's final story was sad story
It’s mostly remembered by her family and friends

Verse 6:
She shared her name with her car
Funny what memories do
Except for the end of her tale
Her name and her car were all that I knew

Shared Her Name

I’m imagining here the swell of the ocean as the sailors are huddled together in the water awaiting rescue after their battleship was torpedoed. Tension is constant and unremitting as sharks circle the groups of men..

USS Indianapolis-The longest night

Howdy everybody! And Happy Easter!

We rarely give a preface to our songs 'cause we wanna leave everything up to interpretation as much as possible, but @thebeautifuldark inspired us to be more communicative. And so, we're back to Blues! No matter how far into Punk or Metal we go, good old Loud, Electric, Heavy Blues always pulls us back. This time around got @tezcatreal to give thanks for the Blues pivot. His crazy Hard Rock/Blues songs were a big inspiration for the overall theme. Check out both of them to listen music that is actually good!

So, a Blues Metal song about a blue sea, a sailor with the "blues", blue thunder clouds and an indescribable blue embodiment of all of those things (think Cthulhu) seemed like the most layers of one color we could stack up in under 5 minutes. 
Now what all that actually means, it's up to you to decide. We know what it means to us. 

Cover art by Ivan Aivazovsky is better than anything we could make. 

Enough blabbering:

Shades of Blue

We're out a-sailing
Miss my town, the waves they
Push us away into...
A storm at the edge of the earth
Reeling us

Pay no mind
Got Rum
And playing Dice all night, yeah...
Yeah!
Got the fish in the line!
Thunder, like drum
Scratching through the sky, yeah...
But we don't pay no mind...

Silence
Creeps slowly
And the waves seem so cozy
All of the sudden...
The Sea knows me
It could take us in its embrace
And swallow us whole

Yet!
We pay no mind, yeah...
Sailing through the night, yeah...
She'll take us for a ride
I'll awake 
Capsized
Holding for dear life, yeah...
We shouldn't have been so blind

[Solo]

Shades of Blue devour me
In a ship so alone
Lost at Sea, the mighty reef
It calls, Siren's calls

[Solo]

Waves of Blue are dragging me
Into a shadow from below
Shape uncanny surfacing
Beyond what I could show

[Solo]

These...
Chains of Blue, they weigh on me
Pulling down to the jaws
Of the Abyss of my beliefs
In this Sea, where I belong 

///////////APRIL 2025

Shades of Blue

How many times you think about the good old days, smiling at the silly thigs you've done, thinking about friends you lost touch because life goes on... All those experiences made the person you are now: be happy where you are and keep working to be the best you can.

sunday is for jam #6

We had the idea to do the story of the Persian storyteller Scheherazade, the mythical source of the Book of the Thousand Tales and One Tale of the Arabian Nights, translated by Richard F. Burton.  I think @APi_ZZ has 'almost' made it into a ballet and the cover art is his too.

Arabian Nights

Alone at the window (demo)

Necromance is an electronic instrumental concept extended play by Kirsten Chevrolet, telling the story of two troubled teenagers, Manuel Lopez and Antonio Alvarez. In their hometown of Valencia, the two commit a series of crimes in a single night, driven by a need to "feel something."

After their stabbings, they get into an argument. The conflict comes to a crescendo when Manuel is stabbed by Antonio. Alvarez then defiles his corpse as the album comes to a close with the title track.
