AB Playlist 119 Part 1

A simple country-folk ballad that tells the story of two people separated and trying to make it through their respective lives, on opposite sides of a mountain (figuratively). They're destined to work their way through each day until they can finally meet at the top. Together again.

Music & lyrics written and performed by Daniels & Durgy

Lyrics:
My side of the mountain
I’m trying to get over the top
I know you’re somewhere, on the other side there
And darling I’m not gonna stop

On my side of the mountain
There’s sunshine, tempest and rain
Each day as I climb, sort of biding my time, 
I imagine you doing the same

And I know that the mountain may win
That I’ll never be with you again
But another sunrise, shines just like your eyes
And I keep climbing best that I can

On your side of the mountain
You might think I don’t understand
When you see the sun, I’ve got rain pouring down
But we know that it’s all in God’s hands

We, both see, our horizon
The path that we follow is true 
Like a bird on a fence, wishing for the right winds, 
Feeling grounded, I’m searching for you

Oh the mountain, seems endless, to bear,
There’s a chance that, I’ll never, get there,
But another sunrise, shines just like your eyes
And I’ll keep climbing, best that I can

The Mountain

All is Fair

You won’t take a chance and
due to circumstances
keep the color well within the lines

how come you don’t care and
Won’t be made aware and 
stick with birds of familiar hue

Can’t you see
It’s killin me…

You don’t lend a hand and
cannot comprehend when
It ain’t jumpin off your tv screen

Like a crow without wings
You cannot believe things
If it ain’t standing right in front of you

Don’t you see
It’s killin me…

On and on…
You sing your song
Won’t be long
until it’s gone

All is fair
In love and tears
Hold on tight
Through the years…

Times they come and they go 
Many things we don’t know
Wipe the mist from the camera lens

Fear still grips so tight and
Keeps us up at night then
Builds a wall made of razor wire

I can see
We won’t be free…

All Is Fair

Lyrics (Original Song)
Oh, I believe in the sunshine as it streams from a bright blue sky
But my faith is not so sure when the night owl sings   
and the moon lies down on his job
I will show myself grace when the way is dark and steep
But I’ll no longer stop in fear

I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And  dance to its every sound
I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And leave my masks behind
			
I carry a load of tightly packed stones strapped firmly to my back	
The stones bear the names of ancient regrets 
That are so hard to let go
But I’ll lay my burden down, skip those stones across the lake
And smile as they slip from view

I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And  dance to its every sound
I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And leave my masks behind

I will never wear Superman blue
but I can still learn how to fly

I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And  dance to its every sound
I want to live my life with every heartbeat
And leave, and leave , and leave my masks behind

Superman Blue

WAITING FOR THE RAIN

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill

The hidden lines and lives
Walk their natural time above the plain
From hill fort to the bunkers underground 
The hill can quicken up your pulse
Standing on Dryhill
You can taste it on your breath
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain 
Waiting for the rain

Aeons old and yesterday
In a scintillation (Standing on Dryhill)
A breathless moment under 
The curious twinkling stars (Standing on Dryhill)
The water moves beneath us
It moves below the ice

(below, be-low)

A long-gone, summer swift scream
The hill is not dry
The vines do not wither
Rippling the waters of our many lives
The heart of the hill 
Beats on
Pushing the sleeping rabbit to awake and run (run, run, run)
Seize the seasons
Hang the reasons
In a thousand years the hill will not remember us or its many names…
Our heads boiled, eaten down to the white bone

And the vines abide
And lean on old familiar ways
From Hadrian to the Satellite Empire
You can feel it in your soul
You can feel it in your soul
Standing on Dryhill
Standing on Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Standing on Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Looking from Dryhill
Waiting for the rain
Waiting for the rain

Standing on Dryhill…

"un-controlling" for cello, piano and two ebows composed by Dika Chartoff (ASCAP 2022) 

Dave Eggar, cello
Clare Longendyke, piano
Christian Amonson, recording engineer
Louis Ng, recording engineer

In memory and celebration of my friend Ben who was a wonderful friend to so many; amazing son, brother and father; a passionate surfer and sailor who lost his life to suicide after a long battle with depression.

During the opening, characterized as Poetico quasi senza mesura (poetic and unmeasured), the e-bow is used as an ostinato - a constant sound triggered by a magnet that vibrates the piano strings. Essentially, it’s a noise that’s calming and seductive at times, but much like depression, or tinnitus, it’s an unwelcome guest. The second part, giocoso (lively and humorous), is an innocent and technical interlude that culminates in climbing adrenaline; such as surfing a giant wave. Finally, Lento Irrealmente (slow and surreal) is a free fall of reverberating, vibrations and letting go. The e-bow is not present at that moment and perhaps a sense of hope, is restored.

un-controlling

Wrote this song while living in London and working at a high street vape store. Days were long, sometimes it was quiet and i was looking out of the window, at the passers by. Noticed some people that seemed to keep on walking past many times, every day, looking stressed out and sometimes a bit out of it. There was this guy wearing a plastic Uncle Sam hat and shorts, carrying a boom box on his shoulder. There was another one pointing at people with a remote control  as if controlling the world around him with it. There was a homeless lady carrying all her belongings back and forth.
First i had this riff in my head. Then a melody started building. The story told itself. This one's for all of you people of High Street in Kilburn NW6.

Vocs- Krissi
Guitars- Ari Savinainen
Bass guitar- Dave Treganna

Recorded in Saarijärvi Finland by Hemmo Hirvonen
Mixed and mastered by Kevin Poree in Canterbury UK

Krissi- High Street

Smooth ambient sound flowing through the sky.
I don't know its just music I think Lol.

I wish you were the one that could
Bring up the sun, instead
You bring out the dark and soot
Am I good enough for you? Am I good enough for you?
Put on a front, I hide
What's killing me most inside
Oh, I stay to myself, "I'm fine"
Is what I'd say to you, am I good enough for you?

Say that you'll be mine
Well you lied, well you lied
I tend to stay aside
While you try to be some kind

You were the one that would
Bring up the sun, instead
You bring out the dark and soot
Am I good enough for you? Am I good enough for you?

Say that you'll be mine
Well you lied, well you lied
I tend to stay aside
While you try to be some kind

All done, it's out there
And everything inside is just alright
Far from complete here
That's okay, I'm still alive, I fight
I fight

You were the one that could
Bring up the sun, instead
Oh, I stay to myself, "I'm fine"
Is what I'd say to you, am I good enough for you?

Some Kind

Lyrics of the song "Comme Si On Savait "

Je voulais juste partir tranquille
Et vivre une autre histoire
Au départ
T'avais l'air si fragile
Que j'voulais pas te laisser
Dans le noir

T'emmener dans mon exil
Et risquer de te donner
D'faux espoirs
C'est un milieu hostile 
Où tout pourrait nous blesser
On f'rait comme si on savait....

On f'rait comme si on savait
Comme si nos vies recommençaient

Toutes ces scènes qui défilent
Nous rappellent nos passés
En miroir
Mais un changement subtil 
Pourrait nous faire oublier
Qu'c'est trop tard

J'sais bien qu'c'est difficile
De tout reconfigurer
Sans savoir
Si tout ça c'était utile
Juste pour ne pas regretter...
On f'rait comme si on savait....

J'voulais juste partir tranquille
Et vivre une autre histoire...
Au départ

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!
