Slippery slope

Dear friends,
to the people of Afganistan!
This song might be a fiction, but is it from real life......??
You get so very sad when you see pictures of faces filled with fear, confusion and sadness!

Confused

I recently heard about
some folks who confused are
They don’t know what to do these days
should they stay in their home, or can they go out
and what clothes can they wear, maybe not what they have
and the shops in their towns are closed down

I heard that the girls and their moms
must change their lifes from now
they are also afraid of the guys
who are patrolling the streets all the days and nights
can the girls see their friends and can they go to their schools
that is a big question that they have

Their country is ruled by pious men
at least it is what these men say
and the future will show if they are right
and the world wish You luck - we will think of You
that You all will be safe and be treated with respect
and that You folks will have a pleasent life

 Approximate translation into Swedish
Förvirrad
Jag hörde nyligen om
några som är förvirrade
De vet inte vad de ska göra nuförtiden
ska de stanna i sitt hem, eller kan de gå ut
och vilka kläder kan de ha på sig, kanske inte vad de har
och butikerna i deras städer stängs

Jag hörde att tjejerna och deras mammor
måste ändra sitt liv från och med nu
de är också rädda för killarna
som patrullerar på gatorna alla dagar och nätter
kan tjejerna se sina vänner och kan de gå till deras skolor
det är en stor fråga som de har

Deras land styrs av fromma män
åtminstone är det vad dessa män säger
och framtiden får visa om de har rätt
och världen önskar dig lycka till - vi kommer att tänka på dig
att ni alla kommer att vara trygga och behandlas med respekt
och att ni får ett trevligt liv

Confused

Originally recorded this in 2017 but I learned a thing or two about mixing and mastering since then. Also I have better tools to perform said mixing and mastering more adequately. So I went back to the recording and fixed the drums, guitars, bass, vocals, overall mix and mastering treatment.

Especially this track for the run at the time was in need of it (I am happy with the other tracks for the most part).

enjoy!


lyrics

firing shots into the unknown
already lost inside a dead zone
no walls at all to run into
no prayers and thoughts that can reach you
a realm of fading memory
like slipping away under the sea
with a side of anxiety

forever life under construction
poised to rake the interaction
the fallen cry to reroll dice
but it all went down with the other lies
and none to witness the sacrifice

Searching for a clean sound. One of the first models of solid bodies that Gibson  ever made. The tone speaks for itself. An R8 for those that are curious

A New Way

Jamie sent me this incredible instrumental track he'd entitled "The Future Is Now" and said "I was wondering if you had time to add something to this?"
 
"OK" I said remembering my Brit Cool just in time. (I was very honoured to be asked and equally knocked out by the track...) I thought about that phrase "The Future Is Now" and how some people seem to be in a rush to cancel the past. As any history student knows; it is not who wins the battle or conducts the pious deed but whose record survives the interim years.

Walking across the countryside one frequently comes across large lakes and reservoirs and hears stories about the submerged villages with a fabled church bell that sometimes still doles out a message from the deep, on occasions or anniversaries of great import. (fromtheedges.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/…nken-bells/)

I do wonder if we deny and bury our past, who will understand the dolorous bells' messages from forgotten landscapes behind our burning bridges or even hear them: We're Building A Dam - It's an anguished cry for help as the very shore we crept out of the sea onto, slips back under the waves already lapping at our feet... and the telling of stories ends of our own doing, as the flood erases true history and our villages disappear under the water...

@jamie-rhind was the lead bell ringer and carillon player 
 @janinelevinson the wondrous mermaid that sings and tends to the sunken bells 
@phil-mcwalter sat on the shrinking shore, listening, playing guitar and singing the old stories with them...

K G G - It's Coming Remix

I don’t have as much time at the moment to be on Soundcloud. I always appreciate listens and feedback and will respond when I can. 
——————————————————
Thank you for visiting. It’s always appreciated. 
You’ll mostly find blues colliding with other sounds, styles and traditions here. Lots of improvisation. Lots of guitar and some other instruments. Hope you find something to enjoy!
