Lyrics  - HEAVEN GAVE US BLESSING

heaven gave us blessing
but hell is where we're heading this time
circles on the water
could someone try to set them on fire
 
We're looking for a reason
We're looking for a reason tonight
And we'll never find the reason
We'll never find the reason this time
 
since we've hit the road been travelling so fast that no one possibly could stop now our ride
now my hands are holding tight the wheel until the heat will reach one hundred degrees inside 
 
We're waiting for an answer
We're waiting for an answer tonight
And we'll never find the answer
We'll never find the answer this time
 
your eyes are full of unconsciousness
so many miles past behind 
I smile at you like for self defence
I scream to you - and you don't mind
 
my mouth is full of unspoken words
so many miles past behind
I'm calling you but I won't be heard
I change the route - and you don't mind

Sam and the Black Seas - Heaven Gave Us Blessing

Haven- One and Other (original Instrumental)

She said: this is a tune that we started before we took our Road Trip...lol. Gary sent me a snippet of music that he had created which, at that time, was just a bit of a silky yet bubbly-ish kind of synth melody. it had a really cool bounce to it..but, it was also kinda "soft" feeling (to my ears)...that snippet inspired me, and i was able to create a few piano melodies for Gary to build upon...i was and am completely blown away by all that Gary adds to such simple piano melodies. He has a way of adding "just enough"...different sounds and different textures that keep your ears interested from start to finish. In this tune, he also added some "vocal synth" stuff that he's never tried before...which, i think, turned out way cool! The guitar lines/melodies he created for this bring such a STRENGTH and a presence!! When Gary plays...he PLAYS....not just notes...he brings feelings, and i love that so very much!! When i listened to the end of this piece for the first time...it brought tears to my eyes. SO very emotional to me...as the title suggests...this is our Haven...this is where we share our emotions, musically...hopefully, when you listen, you will "feel" that too :)

He Said: As anyone who knows Jaime knows she is what we say or call "Good people" she always has a kind word and always has a positive outlook on things. She will support those who support her without a thought and even some that dont support her.  She always says the nicest things about me and others. She often times calls me a deflector cause I get all red faced at her compliments. Listening to her you would think she has this minor part in our creation process... but this is a lie !! She contributes so much as far as beautiful soundscapes that inspire me and unique ideas to the sounds and lyrics that in general she is the foundation to the music and I just build around that core bright center. This tune is no different... all the piano she came to this song was the inspiration for the rest of it.  I had a great time weaving around her piano here and I really enjoyed the times when we go back and forth on the creation of it. Thanks to Jaime J for all of that :)

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)

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!
