Drifting

Opener of live concerts of the Art Rock band Common Ground in which I formerly played - decades ago ;-)  We played some original tracks like 'A Lovely Day' which can be found on my SC page as well as some covers of the bands Rush, It Bites and Marillion.

Sorry for the bad sound quality. Recorded 1990 with a 4 channel mixer and a stereo tape recorder ;-)

I don’t wanna talk about it
It’s not something to fuck around with
I’ve had more than enough with all this shit
And I don’t even give a fuck about it
I wanna watch where waterfalls go
Fold and see what the other guys hold
Fall asleep on the couch around 4 PM 
Receive no annoying DM’s

I think it’s better this way
It’s better, better
I think it’s better this way

Your pants are falling down
I don’t know what you’ll call it now
Your whole crew’s trying hard 
But you’re no good and your time is up 
People here, and there’s people there 
And there’s people growing everywhere
You’re here today and you’re gone tomorrow 
And we ain’t going anywhere

‘Cause it’s better this way
It’s better, better
‘Cause it’s better this way


Better

YESTERDAY, SO FAR AWAY

Yesterday, so far away, so far away, yesterday...
Tomorrow, is tomorrow, tomorrow is not today.
Yesterday, nothing can I do about, yesterday...
Today maybe it will be okey.

Good morning to you a happy day,
good morning I sing this serenade.
Good morning feel good I open up,
window starting up a brand-new day.

Don´t forget, don´t forget live today,,,
never stop, don´t give it up.
Yes I say, live today maybe this is your day...
You never know, around the corner,
maybe maybe, you will find the gold.

As We Go - Original track from One and Other

She said: this song started out as a really cool percussion/synth groove that Gary came up with...he sent me the snippet and a BPM and we set out to create some piano that may fit the groove/vibe of what he had started...this song, like most of our pieces, just sort of evolves by a "back and forth" of ideas between Gary and I...once i came up with some piano, Gary took those few snippets, added them to what he had..and then created an entire piece around and with them...he amazes me, how he creates our pieces layer after layer after layer...i LOVE to listen to the tracks grow!!  We both really were diggin the energy and the flow of this track...and we had much fun laying down the vocals which we did in the back and forth style as well... Gary wrote all the lyrics and came up with all the vocal melodies...so gifted he is with both things! i love the lyrics he came up with...and i REALLY love his vocals in this...there are many layers of "Gary/Jaime vocals" in this...some very low tones from Gary that i rarely hear...but, may request much more often now  :)
I absolutely adore the music that comes out of Gary...and thank him (much) for continuing to share his musical gifts with me...and for grabbing that guitar and giving us all some of those AWESOME Phaige guitars to enjoy!  

He Said: One this about Jaime and I is we never know what we are going to do, and a Disco track has been on the radar for a while but we had talked about doing a cover of the Bee Gees "Stayin Alive" with a heavy groove..This would probably be more like Prog Disco...heh. Without rehashing what Jaime said I wanted to mention that when Jaime sang this track in the beginning she was sick with a cold and we got some tones from her that I thought sounded very cool.  As we progressed on with the track she got better but even sick Jaime sounded great. I also love the piano parts she invented for this piece as well. This one is a bit different but I think its still very much us. I had a blast with this one and I know she did too...

As We Go (lyrics by One and Other)

Chorus
Walkin in the dark we gonna light it up
We gonna light it up 
as we go

Verse 1
When we find ourselved in a tunnel of strife
were gonna share ya a secret for before the afterlife
a pack of matches or igniters not gonna do
a old perspective onna total world changing view
Is coming your way was always here to stay
there is no game to play, what are ya gonna say
lets get on out knees and pray
Verse 2
A selected few,.. no way its a total decision 
arrive to by us from internal reflection and free
from external deceptions and somewhat 
compelling arguments to the pardoxical truth
of what it is, and how it all manifests in way
that can only be described as a freedom that
defies all logic... are you wantin to be on board on board

AS WE GO

ThePhaige and Jaime thank ya for all the years of great fun, music, collabs and friendships... keep on pushing :) Cheers!

AS WE GO
