LOVE SHALL WAIT

You love prime numbers and all good things come in threes...

3PEAT

Like the short lyrics' meaning "love has no hurry", music makes contrasts on rhythms and textures even inside each part: Main theme starts with fast drums on slow melodies & has a DANCEABLE? 2nd part with lead bass guitar; Central theme makes fast tracks become slow to the left channel and vice-versa, progressing to a POST-ROCK? atmosphere. Meanwhile, two lead guitars and echoing voices complete the contrasting piece. I hope to get your feedback !!!

Letra / lyrics: No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

No hace falta darse prisa; / There is no need to hurry up;
todo va rápido. / everything goes fast.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Lo que ha de suceder / What is to happen
termina por ocurrir. / gets to happen in the end.

No hay prisa. / There is no hurry.

Te quiero, te quiero, … / I love you, I love you, …

Ser impaciente / Being impatient
sólo puede hacerme sufrir. / can only make me suffer.

Spellbound

I can see all of you
Inside my head
The ones that look shiny
The ones still in bed
You shout at your cell phones 
Talk in your sleep
You sit in the cafés
Wait in the street
Let us walk quickly now
Come on, let us run
Get caught in a shower
Stretch out in the sun

I was spellbound
I was amazed
Simply spellbound, spellbound
I can see all of you
The ones that look shiny
The ones that look dead

Fish for the big one 
Dream of a win
Look for the answers
Eat out of  a bin

I was spellbound
I was amazed
Simply spellbound, spellbound 
I can see all of you

Take a hike through the mountains
See your baby born
Play your music too loud
Hide in the corn
Is it a small loan
Or is it too much to lend?
You all know for certain
How it will end
So stack up the building blocks
And start a fire with sticks
We all like some magic
But do you see all the tricks?
I can see all of you 
Inside my head
The ones that look shiny
The ones that look back 

I can see all of you
Simply spellbound

'Jerusalem' is probably England's unofficial national anthem. (We have to share 'God Save The King' with other countries!) 
My recording of this beautiful melody was inspired by going round the corner to watch the amazing Englishman; Jeff Beck, at the Royal Albert Hall last night (14th May 2014). 
He didn't play this song... but maybe he could have done, and it would have been so much better!! 

Jerusalem

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green:
And was the Holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of Fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
'Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green and pleasant Land

Lyrics: William Blake (1757 – 1827) was an English painter, poet and printmaker.
Composer: Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry, 1st Baronet (1848 – 1918) an English composer, teacher and historian of music.

Japanese 1976 Tokai Goldstar 1954 Strat with Gilmour shortened tremolo arm and DiMarzio stacked humbucker. Ernie Ball's Super Slinky's and my own custom made  metal picks. Plugged into Logic X via a Klon Centaur and an Apogee interface.

This is @Rock-Flexible's fault! ;-)) He piqued my intrigue enough to try out Native Instrument's Guitar Rig. Well, it's fun and it does rock, so, I instantly reverted to type and played some filth! There's nothing like the smell of a hot guitar rig in the morning! ;-))

Haus ohne Dach

Hässliche Ruine
Ein Haus ohne Dach
Es wurde nicht fertig
War so schön gedacht

Die Skizze war prima
Die Lage exklusiv
Der Ausblick fantastisch
Und doch lief was schief

Wir war'n uns sicher, dass es geht
Zusammen auf 'nem guten Weg
Im Glauben daran,
Dass es morgen nur noch besser wird
Und wir träumten von der Zeit
Wo wir stolz auf das zurücksehen 
Was geschafft ist, doch …
FAIL, FAIL, statt Standing Ovations

…

Die Natur holt sich langsam zurück
Was da unbewohnbar scheint
Hab den Schatten meiner selbst, verblassend,
An der Mauer lehnen sehn

Der Geruch von Dir, schon lange verweht,
Ist mir noch nicht fremd (- auch wenn es besser wär …)
Aus dem Augenwinkel hab ich Dich glaub ich gesehen,
Wie Du dastehst und grinst …

Wir war'n uns sicher, dass es geht
Zusammen auf 'nem guten Weg
Im Glauben daran,
Dass es morgen nur noch besser wird 
Und wir träumten von der Zeit
Wo wir stolz auf das zurücksehen 
Was geschafft ist, doch …
FAIL, FAIL, statt Standing Ovations

…

2x
Wir war'n uns sicher, dass es geht
Zusammen auf 'nem guten Weg
Im Glauben daran,
Dass es morgen wieder besser wird 
Und wir träumten von der Zeit
Wo wir stolz auf das zurücksehen 
Was geschafft ist, doch …
FAIL, FAIL, statt Standing Ovations

House without a roof

Ugly Ruin
A house without a roof
It was not done
Was so nice thought

The sketch was great
The location exclusively
The view fantastic
And yet something went wrong

We were sure that it is it
Together on a good way
Believing
That tomorrow will only get better
And we dreamed of the time
Where we proudly look back on
What is done, but ...
FAIL, FAIL, instead of Standing Ovations

...

Nature gets back slowly
What seems to be uninhabitable
Saw the shadow of myself, fading,
Leaning on the wall 

The smell of you, have long gone with,
Is not yet a stranger to me (- even if it would be better ...)
From the corner of my eye I think I saw you,
As you stand there grinning ...

We were sure that it is it
Together on a good way
Believing
That tomorrow will only get better
And we dreamed of the time
Where we proudly look back on
What is done, but ...
FAIL, FAIL, instead of Standing Ovations

...

2x
We war'n sure that it is
Together on a good way
Believing
That it is better tomorrow again
And we dreamed of the time
Where we proudly look back on
What is done, but ...
FAIL, FAIL, instead of standing ovations

I have always loved this song. Hendrix was such an incredibly intuitive and inventive guitar player and great songwriter; he didn't hold a strat, it grew out of his soul. This is a sketch of one of his beautiful thoughts. It's not meant to be a facsimile, it's just meant to refresh a memory, a little tiny bit of the wonder of the prophetic and charming voodoo chile. Fly on Jimi, fly on...

Thanks to Eventide for the little bit of extra on the guitars:

The Eventide H910 Harmonizer was first demonstrated to universally positive reactions at the AES show in late 1974. It was designed by Eventide's first engineer, Tony Agnello (who went on to become the president of Eventide's audio division). The pre-production prototype was a hand-wired box topped with a music keyboard controller. Jon Anderson of the band Yes was among those impressed, and he became a tester for the first prototype. The production H910 was released in 1975, offering pitch shifting (±1 octave), delay (up to 112.5 ms), feedback regeneration and other features in an easy-to-use box that sold for $1,600. The H910 was named after a Beatles tune (the model number refers to the "One After 909").

The first H910 customer was New York City's Channel 5, utilising it to downward pitch shift I Love Lucy reruns that were sped up to create room to run more commercials. Speeding up the reruns had increased the pitch of the audio, and the H910 was able to shift that pitch back to where it originally had been. Frank Zappa added it to his guitar processing rig. Producer Tony Visconti used the H910 to create the snare sound on David Bowie's album Low, as did Tony Platt on AC/DC's song "Back in Black". Another popular application was to use two H910s slightly detuned with a small delay. Notable users of this twin Harmonizer effect included Eddie Van Halen, who used it for his trademark guitar sound, and Tom Lord-Alge, who used it for the vocals on the hit Steve Winwood song, "Back in the High Life Again". Recognising the popularity of this application, Eventide later recreated it as the "Dual 910" program in the H3000 UltraHarmonizer released in the late 1980s.

The H910 Harmoniser was recognised by the AES with a TECnology Hall of Fame award in 2007. (Source: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventide,_Inc)

Saturday afternoon and the river is already too high and too coloured to fish (the ghillie informs me), so no Sunday morning creeping quietly out of bed before my wife and the sun wake up and driving off to the beauty of the Wye Valley and my beat with the kingfishers sparkling by and the salmon hiding by the rocks... tea and jam instead; spread thickly on hot buttered toast... and sticky fingers all over my guitar...

[Tone: My favourite vintage Tokai Strat has a stacked Seymour Duncan by the bridge, wound by the hand of the legendary MJ - Maricela Juarez... love her handiwork, so play it LOUD!]

I DON'T FEEL RIGHT!

Well I woke up this morning and I was sick on the dog
Sick on the cat and sick in the bog
I don’t feel right! 
Yeah, Lordy Lord!
I don’t feel right! 
Oooh my soul!
I took a little something to avoid the derision
It ain't had much effect 'cept on my vision
WTF was that?!?
Please don’t leave me! (alone)
Yeah I don’t feel right!

I woke up this morning and I was sick on the dog
Sick on the cat and sick in the bog 
I took a little something from the baby sitter
It aint done nothin, but it sure taste bitter
Please don’t leave me! (alone)
I don’t feel right!
Please don’t leave me!  (alone)
I don’t feel right!

(More than inspired by my sojourn with The Mosquitos: 

“This isn’t  having much effect”
(1... 2... 3...)
“DON’T LEAVE ME!!!”

We were in bits... 🤣🤣🤣 )

BUTTER KNIFE HEAVEN (BOP BOP)

@Rick-4-1: Well, he played drums on this, if you can call it just that. It's something much bigger really, it's like the hairs on the back of your neck on new batteries for the first time in your life.
@phil-mcwalter: Well, just the other stuff.

Enjoy heaven.

PLAY IT LOUDER

Heaven

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I got it right first time 
When I was young and pure like heaven
But it’s never been as good
In fact it’s been as rough as wood
And it’s splintered me

I sort of forgot
How it's supposed to be hot
And when it had gone cold
And I looked at what I'd got
It was not a lot

I’ve wasted some time 
Heaven
Well most of our lives 
Heaven
It feels like a crime
Sharp as a butter knife
I’ve been spread too thin
By kith and kin

Original sin
But not so original
I should have told the Pope
That there was no hope
And what would you know 
He’d agreed with me
It’s not a great story
Not bloody or gory
You just get one shot
And I must have given mine to someone else
It should have ended my game
But I’ve passed it on
It’s a little bit lame 
Just the same
Like everything else 
Bop Bop
I’m now at a full stop
Bop Bop
It’s just a pensioner’s bus-hop away 
(Anyway)

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I think I have forgotten (How to say goodbye)
How to end it all

It’s just been a waste
Heaven
A copy and paste 
Heaven 
I haven’t been traced
Lost or misplaced
I feel debased 
And disgraced
It leaves a bitter 
Aftertaste
But I aint crying
I’ve just been sprayed with Mace…

Bop Bop

Heaven…

“Everyone must leave something behind when they die, my grandfather said. A child or a book or a painting or a house or a wall built or a pair of shoes made. Or a garden planted. Something your hand touched some way so your soul has somewhere to go when you die, and when people look at that tree or that flower you planted, you're there.

Premier regard
quelque part
dans le passé
m'ont agressé
tes yeux noirs

Premier regard
revenant à ma mémoire
sans pitié
m'ont foudroyé
tes yeux noirs

Bulles façonnées par mes désirs
remontent à la surface
une à une sans prévenir

Bulles gonflées par mes souvenirs
éclatent à la surface
une à une et me font souffrir

Premier regard
magiquement noir
et sorcier
m'ont envoûté
tes yeux noirs

Les lames de fond l'écume acide
n'effacent la trace
indélébile de ton sourire

Sans larme je me morfonds baignant dans le vide
profond qui me glace
et alimente mes soupirs

La Morsure

(Unless we stop destroying our home we'll be the life on Mars, throwing a handful of earth onto Earth as we take off... ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust)
One recorded all on my own...

I THOUGHT WE MIGHT HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING

We’re looking out for the future
We’re standing on the past
I thought we might have learned something from
The burning bridges that we’ve passed
But time is just relentless
He’s pulling at your hand
And you’re looking into your grave
Not feeling very brave
Lying in the gutter
Not staring at the stars
You’re not seeing life on Mars

We’re looking out for the future
And we’re standing on the past
I thought we might have learned something from
The burning bridges that we’ve passed
And time is just relentless
Keep’s pulling at your hand and
You’re looking into your grave
Not feeling very brave
You're not lying in the gutter
Not staring at the stars
Not seeing life on Mars

Part I

OK man, you hear me, yeh?  
Don't let 'em tell you anything man 
 Anything! 
 All you've gotta do is look for Christ's sake 
 It's madness  
Don't believe a word 
 I'm not paranoid man!
Stick with me!  
Yeah…  Yeah, I'll get you out of this
Do you wanna know what really happened? 
 You know at first you don't notice…  
But it affected everybody
Hey that's mine! Put it back!  
If you want something, ask. 
 That's how this started…

(New National Anthem)

I'm f*cking lost...
All you've gotta do is look for Christ's sake 
 It's madness  
Don't believe a word 
 I'm not paranoid man!

(New National Anthem)

You know at first you don't notice…  
But it affected everybody
If you want something, ask.  
That's how this started…

Part II

You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man

Floating
High above the cities
Shines a lonely ray of truth

And screaming
High above the cities
Sings a lonely photobooth 
(Gone in a flash)

Face up
It's only you that matters
Or have you lost that with your youth?

(Solo, New National Anthem)

You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man
I’m f*cking lost!
  It's only you that matters
  That’s how this started
You gotta forget all that
All that’s gone man…

England, Oh My England Parts I & II

I just love the image of this Strat filled with cocaine that was pulled at Customs! It should sing sweetly, not be too heavy and keep you interesting at parties! 

WHITE POWDER STRAT (First Reprise)

Track shows a very delicate theme and a quite hard-riffed part, both alternating and finally flowing up to an endless symphonic dream (words are half a poem I wrote previously (not these, but lyrics below)).

Letra  /  Translated lyrics:

No despiertes (Sólo un sueño)  /  Don’t you wake up (Only a dream)

No... despierta... no... no despiertes  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up
no, cuidado... no despiertes, na na na na na...  /  no, take care ... don’t you wake up, na na na na na…
... despierta al fin y date cuenta  /  ... wake up at last and realize
de que todo ha sido un sueño, na na na na na...  /  everything has been a dream, na na na na na...

Una vez más, nervios y resentimiento,  /  Once again, nerves and resentment,
todo en mi vida es sueño, sólo ha sido eso.  /  everything in my life is a dream, it has only been so.

Y de nuevo, con el tiempo,  /  And again, with time,
incubando un nuevo sueño,  /  incubating a new dream,
me voy hundiendo en mis propios brazos,  /  I am sinking in my own arms,
me acuno, me canto y me voy acostumbrando...  /  cradle myself, sing to myself and get used...

Otro escenario, otros personajes,  /  Another stage, other characters,
la misma historia, na na na na na...  /  the same story, na na na na na...
que durará un día, un milenio,  /  which will last one day, a millenium,
toda mi vida, na na na na na...  /  all my life, na na na na na...

Pero sin duda vendrán a despertarme  /  But undoubtedly the laughs of people
las risas de la gente, alguna tarde.  /  will come to wake me up, any evening.

Y entonces, con miedo...  /  And then, fearfully...

No... despierta… no… no despiertes (…)  /  No ... wake up ... no ... don’t you wake up (…)

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!

P.S. I am a long standing member of the Performing Rights Society and PPL through my old TV and theatre work as well as my record and publishing deals.
