Great rock opera atmosphere my dear Phil, a really nice collab my friend, well done !

Definitely a step or two above the average SC offering. Friggin' well done, my friend!

Sounds ..vocal.. really good! …🌍☮︎👍

wow, what a unique song! listening to some of your other stuff too, pretty impressive how you get such a 'big' production, and I like the layered sounds and instrumentation. nice vocals too!

this bangs in with sassy Blackmore guitar; the very relaxed vocal really suits you Phil, it's kind of a Donald Fagen narrative emphasis and the lyrics/story come through so clearly as result; and those laconic jazz changes are very Steel Dan, which is another way of saying cool; the doubled/harmonized soloing is very effective!  Nice one (sorry it took this long to find it) !!!

Delightful intricate weave, spun into this future robo tale. Awesome drumming from Rick, great lyrical muse outdone by the delivery of you and Janine! As usual, Phil, the guitar work is spectacular! Big mix and production polishes this off nicely! (loved the hats ticking away at 3:20)  Boop Boop indeed! (reverbed "space"...so many nice touches!)

Great vocal and sits in the track perfectly. Love it all....

Amazing song! I'm always a bit slack Jawed with your incredible style. And then you go and put "exoskeleton" into it. And I listen, again with my mouth agape with wonder and envy. Outstanding track!

Lyrics:-
He made it to the clearing
And looked around
A beam of light above him
That swept the ground
A U.F.O just landed
Without a sound
The sliding doors that opened
The beings that came out
Like they were very beautiful
Seemed to know what he's about
They walked right up greet him
Spoke his language right out loud

We live on the moon
We've been watching you
And we heard your cry for help

He guessed their vibe was so brand new
He'd listen to what they could do
He felt the love in everything they said

There are many of us
We are from your future
And we're here to guide the past

Although he felt that this was true
He didn't understand the woo
I'ts like a key that unlocks a door inside

It's the woo
Yeah it's the woo
Woo's gonna getcha
Yeah it's the WOO

We've been helpng humans
Since the dawn of time
We are always on your side

It's the woo
Yeah it's the woo
Woo's gonna getcha
Yeah it's the WOO

We have got to go now
Follow all the signs
Now we're saying our goodbye

Best Of Everything

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02  2023

A song about making life choices.  Make a choice that you think will work out, and then it doesn't; need to change ones plans; and sometimes other choices work out without a hitch.

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02 2023

Traffic light; take a left here; signal right, 
I think I know which way to go.
Merge in fast, the zoomin' fast lane, 
hoping for a slow country road,
but nothings in sight.

Which way to go.
Which way.

Always a choice, was it right, 
only time will tell with some assessing.
Layer and repair when things don't work out,
cuz you can't start again.

<Keys break>

Sometimes everyday selections,
turn into corrections;
Domino effect; unexpected conundrums.
...but then life starts to hit the right sail.
Get it right, things start to flow.
 
Which way to go.
Which way.

RENT A ROOM

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance

Well we don’t want to feel your cold
We want a steel womb with a view
So we can catch you and your crew
With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt
Looking around through all the dirt
You check the chandelier
But I can see straight through you here
You've got a sweat on from the beer
And we can smell your fear
You're coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
(Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!)

The priest and the nun
Are pouring sand into
The joints of my exoskeleton
Whilst a dog with a bone
Is running into trouble
With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
Boop boop boop...

Annual Release of this fun song that makes ME feel good....I hope you too! Newly produced with the new tricks learned from last release! Enjoy!

Spring Forward 2024

Based on a mobile game. Servants of historical figures help a Master to save Humanity. Viva Tsundere! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere)
Musically, I tried to explore how key changes can smooth a song.

Written and performed by Kyo
***************************:
She walks into the room, with a glare so cold
Just like an iceberg, her attitude is bold 
With every word, she's sharp as a knife,
But deep inside, I know she’s cute as a wife 

She huffs and puffs, putting up a fight
But deep in her eyes, there is a glimmer of light
Her stubborn ways make me laugh a lot 
For underneath, she's got a gentle slot 

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
She acts like a berserker 
Nobody can really jerk her 
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
When I see her smile she melts me
Can you set that feisty princess free?

She calls me bad names, with her fiery tongue
Her cheeks flush pink, when love is sprung.
Though she pushes away with every slight,
Her secret longing shines through the fight.

(Chorus)
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
She burns like an avenger 
But she smells like a lavender 
Oh, oh, oh oh oh
When I see her smile she melts me
Can you set that feisty princess free?

She's a Berserker

Michelle, ma belle
These are words that go together well
My Michelle
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I love you, I love you, I love you
That's all I want to say
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand
Michelle, ma belle
Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble
Tres bien ensemble
I need to, I need to, I need to
I need to make you see
Oh, what you mean to me
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean
I love you
I want you, I want you, I want you
I think…

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 Mackie 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!
