WE ARE DREAMERS

Also on all major digital platforms

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

Spellbound

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...

Castles Made of Sand

CASTLES MADE OF SAND  - Jimi Hendrix

Sort of 2nd part to my previous rocky song 'Yo pensé', some introspective remorse the day after, or not... with Italian inspiration. It got a warm organic sound when https://soundcloud.com/tunesma agreed to masterfully play the piano line.

Letra / Translated lyrics:

HAY EDAD (SOY UN SOÑADOR)    /    THERE IS AN AGE (I AM A DREAMER)

Traficante de sexo,    /    Sex trader,
comerciante de amor,    /    love merchant,
para estos juegos    /    for these games
hay edad.    /    there is an age.

Soy un soñador    /    I am a dreamer
con ganas de amar.    /    with will to love.
Toda esta locura    /    All this craziness
no es propia de mi edad.    /    is not appropriate to my age.

La gente busca seguridad,    /    People look for security,
alguien a quien conocer,    /    someone to know about,
compañía de por vida,    /    company for life,
una mano que coger.    /    a hand to hold.

Soy un soñador…    /    I am a dreamer …

Thank you so much Kevin (Mr. Cagey), Fady (Mr. The sporz), Tim (Three Photons) and JJ (Subject To Revision) for giving feedback to the song when the work was in progress!  

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

NOTHING'S EVER GONNA MAKE ME STOP
DANCING ROCKING LIKE THE BLITZRIEG BOP
THERE WILL BE ROCKING AND ROLLING ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

WE MIGHT END UP DANCING WITH THE COPS
ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK
AND THE JUDGE SAYS ROCK ON ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND

Butter Knife Heaven

Butter Knife Heaven (Bop Bop)

(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

I Thought We Might Have Learned Something

Apple Music

2nd quarter of the album and titled for Ellesmere Island (see my map), it describes the hard final stage of the expedition to the 'Arctica Point', and first effects felt when getting closer, for example odd rhythms ;)

Translated lyrics explain it with more detail, again:

ELLESMERE (AVANZANDO EN EL HIELO)  /  ELLESMERE (MOVING FORWARD ON THE POLAR ICE)

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se desliza hacia ese lugar…  /  my sleigh slides towards that place…
… aunque mi brújula loca está  /  … although my compass is crazy
desde más de cien kilómetros atrás.  /  from more than a hundred kilometers behind.

El sol me guiará,  /  The sun will guide me,
mi corazón me guiará.  /  my heart will guide me.
La aurora boreal me guiará.  /  Aurora borealis will guide me.

Los vientos polares me llevarán,  /  The polar winds will carry me,
los terribles vientos polares me empujarán.  /  the terrible polar winds will push me.
No tiene pérdida el lugar  /  There’s no missing to the place
donde se producen todas las singularidades físicas.  /  where all physical singularities happen.

Avanzando en el hielo polar,  /  Moving forward on the polar ice,
mi trineo se guía solo hacia ese lugar  /  my sleigh guides itself towards that place
y aunque mis perros no lo saben,  /  and though my dogs don’t know it,
esta brújula no cesa de girar.  /  this compass doesn’t stop spinning.

Voy cada vez más deprisa  /  I go faster and faster
arrastrado por mis perros,  /  dragged by my dogs,
acelero, voy cayendo…  /  I accelerate, I’m falling…

Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
el tiempo empieza a correr.  /  time starts to run.
Cerca del Punto Ártica  /  Close to the Arctica Point
dejo de envejecer, ¡dejo de envejecer!  /  I stop getting old, I stop getting old!

Thanks a lot Jan and Amanda for your passion and your dedication to create this excellent song!

IF ONLY

If only you could see through my eyes
If only I could find just one more way
If only we could go back in time
If the two of us didn’t feel so lonely

If only could be sublime

And I will never forget
I remember your tender embrace
I miss gazing into your eyes
I miss hearing your laughter
Seeing your smile
Feeling your love

And yet
There’s so much more
Why I walked out that door
I can’t ever forget
Lying on my back 
On a cold floor

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

If we could get back to just having fun
If everything could be undone
If we could live on regret
If the two of us, had never met
If no-one had to run

If only you’d never got mad
If only you hadn’t made me sad
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

I pray from Monday to Sunday
I pray for both of our souls
I sing every night and day
I sing if only
If only

Lyrics
Verse 1
If I could see
all the things that waited for you and me
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand
for you...

Chorus 1
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it tick away....

Verse 2
If I could see 
through the shadows of life
I'd change the world
One clock at a time
I'd wave my magic wand 
for you...

Bridge
One clock at a time
One clock at a time
I could change time
One clock at a time

Chorus 2
There's a light in your life
let it be your guide
The clock keeps score
for you tonight
We can change the world 
one clock at a time
don't let it slip away....

Outro
One clock at a time
One clock at a time
I could change time

Lyrics:
I'm still alive,  but that’s not right
 While you're alone  
Stuck inside the stone
 And let it be precious
 But the tears on the eyelashes 
I want to be closer 
But you can't hear me at all 
Inside the stone Broken heart Beats hard

Inside The Stone - ❤️❤️❤️

Fluidity

Fun to work on our second EP. Here is a little demo track of a song that will likely be on the album! A song about the perks of sharing love, hope and misunderstanding with someone. Thanks for listening, let us know what you think!

Concede Defeat

Long Time Gone was originally written as a “swing” blues for a recording session with Bill Kavanagh's Blues Affliction in 2014 (SC link below).
	In keeping with my fascination for eccentric rhythms, I later thought I would try it in a 7 beat meter.   The result was good enough that I asked Foresto, N.O.B.S., and Tot. to give me a hand.   These very talented musicians had joined with me previously on “Heart of Snow” (SC link below).
	The track came out even better than I had hoped ... retaining all the characteristics of a rock/funk boogie while losing none of the odd feel of the unusual meter.

Lyrics
        we're a short time here and a long time gone
	we're just a short time here but we're a long time gone
	make hay while the sun shines you can't once it's down

        you might dance with the devil but that don't make him your friend
        you might gamble on the devil but that don't mean you're gonna win
        best to keep your cards close you just might meet him again

        perhaps I'm just a fool behind a sage's mask
        I keep posing questions only heathens ask
        may be come judgement day I will pay for my faithless past

        we're a short time here and a long time gone
	we're just a short time here but we're a long, long time gone
	make hay while the sun shines you can't once it's down

yes we're a long, long time gone

I wrote this song (the instrumental) bearing Dusbo singing in mind, and I'm very, very happy that he joined this project and put so much heart and soul in this song. thanks bro!

lyrics:
All night I was waiting
Waiting for you eyes
And I thought I was dreaming
I could feel you in my cries
For so long I been waitin
To meet your lonely touch
But I just keep on walkin
My soul was never enough

Too long I’ve been breathing
Too long I’ve been alive
I can feel I’m fading
No color in my eyes

Dancing with the devil,
Shades in the night
By the fire I’ll be waiting
By the fire I will die
For to long I’ve been wondering
Why the colors black and white
For too long I’ve been breathing
To long I’ve being alive

I can’t stop breathing
I can’t stop waking up

For too long I’ve been breathing
For too long I’ve been alive
And I can feel I’m fading
No colors in my eyes

I’ll just keep on wandering
Waitin for your hand
And I’ll just keep on walkin
Into the water from the sand

Dusboblaze and Echo Garage - Too Long

Thanks yet again to Amanda for breathing life into this song!   Please listen to her other great tracks on @phoebeelena.

Darling
You don't know
how I feel

I've been 
looking lately
for a love that is real

Been down in the firing line
Fell for the one without a spine
Been down in the firing line again

Don't say 
that you care
if you don't 
For I've been 
looking lately
for the door

Been down and beyond help
You claim a bleeding heart
But stone don't melt
Been down and beyond help again

Been lost for the last time
Fell down at the finish line
Been lost for the longest time again

Darling
You don't know
how to feel...

the last time (by Amanda & Paul)

It´s been a very nice musical journey  sharing with Amanda this lovely song

BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS (Mark Knopfler) (Amanda Sanderson & Alfonso Llorente) (Collab)

Some people carry around a secret, a carefully buried basic feeling or a wish that is locked away deep in the abyss of their soul. Often it is only when death is already in the doorway that they can bring up and communicate what has been hidden for so long.  
This is also what happened in this true story, in which a man can only tell his wife how he really feels about her just before he dies of cancer. 

Lyrics in English:

The Last Words

I'm lying here in hospice
Eaten up by cancer

I'm at stage four
I'm about to be killed 
Can't see anything more

My body fully tattooed
Now as skeletonized
My fitness-treated muscles

Mercilessly pureed 
I've never felt so strong
Yeah, I must be losing myself as a hero   

You sit at the edge of the bed
Swimming in a sea of tears
Yes this softness is incredibly difficult for me

You cried for me
Rhymed the most beautiful funeral poems for me
Lived for me the pain
With noble dignity

I'm stuck in a tank dress
Even in the deepest suffering
Can't I tell you how I feel

Fuck!
I'm a John Wayne idiot

I'm as good as dead
And it wants out
I push, cramp, swallow:
I love you

Don't look at me like that
I really mean it

There is no more repetition
I just die now
Please let me go

Somewhere in the next life
Let's meet for a beer
I promise you that
But please stay for a very long time- 

There!
Get the fuck out of here
I'm already dead in my grave

Cancer has won
Got me down

OKAY
No more fighting

I'm leaving now ahead of schedule
Cancer has freed me
Come black brother, take me with you
Wherever to go

Deutscher Originaltext:

Die letzten Worte

Lieg` hier im Hospiz
Vom Krebs zerfressen

Bin im Stadium 4
Gleich ist`s um mich geschehen 
Kann nichts mehr sehen

Mein Körper voll tätowiert
Nun wie skelettiert
Meine Fitness-gestählten Muckies

Gnadenlos püriert
Hab`mich noch nie so stark gespürt
Ja muß mich wohl als Held verlier`n

Du sitzt am Bettrand
Schwimmst im Tränenmeer
Ja dieses Weiche fällt mir unglaublich schwer

Hast für mich geweint
Die schönsten Trauergedichte gereimt
Lebtest für mich den Schmerz
Mit edler Würde

Steck´ im Panzerkleid
Selbst im tiefsten Leid
Kann ich Dir nicht sagen, was ich fühle

Fuck!
Bin ein John-Wayne-Idiot!

Bin so gut wie tot
Und es will heraus

Ich presse, krampfe, schlucke:
Ich liebe Dich

Schau`mich nicht so an
Ja das mein` ich wirklich

Ein nochmal gibts nicht mehr
Ich sterb` jetzt einfach
Lass` mich bitte gehen

Irgendwo im nächsten Leben
Treffen wir uns mal auf`n Bier

Das versprech` ich Dir
Doch bitte bleib` jetzt noch ganz lange – 

Hier!
Hau jetzt endlich ab
Lieg` schon tot im Grab

Der Krebs hat gesiegt
Hat mich untergekriegt

O.K.
Kein Kämpfen mehr

Geh` jetzt vor der Zeit
Der Krebs hat mich befreit

Komm nimm mich schwarzer Bruder
Egal wohin

Die Letzten Worte (The Last Words) (Engl. Lyrics In The Intro)

words and music K. Gennery
Ickle felt Betty & Dave (supercats) made by my dear friend and fellow cloudie Nic Evennett

Go to sleep my little man for its nearly over,
soon you'll have to leave, me.
Rest your weary head on my trembling hand,
I can feel you breathe for the last time, soon you will be free,
chasing butterflies way beyond the stars.

The grass grows tall where your'e going and the sun it always shines.
You can stretch out just like supercat, catch some rays and watch the ducks glide on by.
Someday we will be there by your side, till then wait patiently.

Rest in peace my baby boo soon your pain will cease to be
 then work it's way into me.
Pull my flesh apart cut deep inside my heart.

Go be with your brother now, where the sun it always shines.
You can stretch out just like supercats catch some rays and watch the ducks glide on by.
It's safe there no need for you to hide, cause soon I will be there by your side.
Till then wait patiently.
I'll be counting the weeks, months and years, till I see you again.
And hold you in my arms.

Lyrics:
I can still taste the resentment on your breath
As of lately the hope of something good is all I have left 
I’ve been Climbing an endless cliff face 
Digging in the tread. 
With every step I’ll commit 
Until I make it to bed. 

(Hook) 
eyes preyed open
I’ll see them
Ripped away, ripped away 
From me
Exigent are my dreams 
Woven in reality 
I’ll witness it all
But never my own fall (x2)

Leave some time to me so I can breathe 
Unsure if this is the correct reality 
It’s so hard to live when I feel like I shouldn’t be 
Distressed by images played in my head on repeat
Alone on drives 
Even more Nauseated by the motion
I could just pull over 
Or collide into the ground 

(Hook) (x2)
eyes preyed open
I’ll see them
Ripped away, ripped away 
From me
Exigent are my dreams 
Woven in reality 
I’ll witness it all
But never my own fall 

I can still taste the resentment on your breath
As of lately the hope of something good is all I have left

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Put me up front,
Sick of sitting in the background,
All those long nights, put them in the past now
Ooh...
Lemme know,
If your out of time,
But noo,
I won't goo,
You are forever mine,
No I don't really wanna talk about it
Got no one to blame cuz we're all a little toxic
Forget what I said, cuz my heart is hollow 
I hope I stay a wake for tomorrow..

Chorus:

We're all running out of time!
We all only live to die!
So I don't wanna go outside!
If you're not by my side!

Verse 2:

You're up in my face,
You send words like they're arrows,
Hitting my heart like you didn't have a care,
Ooh,
But I LOVE IT!
Yeah I LOVE IT!

Bridge:

You're a whisper of a ghost,
Watch the blood run from my nose,
If you're here I'll take the pain...
But if not I'll lose my brain.

Make It Mean Something (Non Zero Sum Game)

And the bricks are all wet
The sand is damp and 
We smell of work
Our dirty hands 
Have built a castle
Hid our dream 
But they hang on every word
Yet we are no-one

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us walk 
Past the tower

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

And we don’t count
But we are counted
Our steps are followed
Our hearts recorded
We’ll shine on the inside
Look dull in the eye
Slow on the stair and
Quick on the glance

The earth is full of crowds
The seas of plastic shrouds
You could make it mean
Something
Their fingers stroke devices
Reality’s in crisis
They will see us talk
In the shadows

She always thought she’d break
She always said she’d shake
The walls on the outside 
The bars on the inside
She always thought she’d break

The sky is full of clouds
The wind is radio hot and
You and I can run
To the river
Your skin is fingerprint free
Dreams are momentary
They will see us talk 
By the tower
But you could make it mean
More than a movie scene
They will see us look
Right through them 
And we can make it seem
More than a dying scream
They will see us kiss
Forever

LOOKING AT YOU, THE PICTURE SAYS A MILLION WORDS
JUST LOOK AT YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

THINKING OF YOU, I COUNT THE DAYS THE WEEKS THE YEARS
I THINK I KNEW, A WAY TO FIND ANOTHER YOU

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....

I WISHED FOR YOU, BUT NEVER ONCE DID BREAK THE BONE
STILL LOVING YOU, AND ON AND ON AND ON I GO

I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.....
(BREAK)
I.....I THINK ABOUT, THE TIMES WE HAD AND ALL THE FUN,
AND WHEN WE LAUGHED, TO SEE THE SUN COME UP AGAIN,
AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON

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…

"Some commentators noted that, although under the capitalist model inefficient private commercial enterprises should be allowed to go bust, the banks were "too big to fail". Not a single bank chief or chairman went to prison in the UK or in the US.[7]"

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! ALSO 2nd Deluxe Vinyl & CD+Booklet "Songs That Mean Something" See links below. 

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

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.
