Available in HD!!

The latest track from <a target=href=http://www.playfio.com>Playfio.com</a> is called Future Looks, and has been in the making for about a couple of months now. Just got it finished off with some lyrics, although not that many lyrics! You'll probably better understand when you’ve heard the song. It’s been quite a productive Easter Monday though.

This song is about the rapid transformation of technology and the unpredictable and unforeseeable future. These days are extremely hard to predict what kind of world we may be living in even 10 years time. 

I hope you enjoy this song, it's full of contrasts, plenty of different instruments, and some great build up’s - quite a bit livelier than my previous song ‘Velvet’. I tried to use and quite complex chord structures within song, which i think work quite well, especially with the use of some powerful orchestra hits. Also the off-beat, repetitive bass line gives the song some real life.

Can’t really think of anything else to say about this song, please do enjoy it and I welcome your comments.

This track has come about since I did collaboration with Chris of <a href="http://soundcloud.com/saintsbeats" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SaintsBeats</a> and used Erin’s poem for the lyrics of ‘<a href="http://soundcloud.com/playfio/first-breath-collaboration" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">First Breath</a>’.
I got in contact with Erin and told her I’d used her poem for the lyrics and I’m glad to say she was very happy with the results. 

She recommended some other poems that she has written with song lyrics in mind. I read through these lyrics and thought they’d match to a track I’ve had hanging around for a while. The original track was just an instrumental named 'Oil on the dance floor' but hadn't done much!

Here’s the poem I used as inspiration for this song – once again thanks Erin and to read more of her poems please check out Erin’s Page <a href="http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewnews.asp?AuthorID=11155 " rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>.


I Gotta Get a Ride, Yeah!
I want a real ride, yeah, 
gotta take a real ride, 
take-me-out-of-my-mind ride, 
yeah, outta my blind mind, 
yeah, I gotta get a ride...

(I can manage... 
speeding off, into 
freedom, passenger 
to blazing poetic freeways, 
mind's breathtaking sunsets 
of rhyme, and season.)

I need a ride, yeah, 
gotta take a real ride, 
bike-between-my-legs ride, 
yeah, outta my blind life, 
yeah, I gotta get a ride...

(I can manage... 
the crash of planes, 
into my spirit’s heart, 
not well, but I set it 
on it’s own road, to 
keep it off the soul’s load.)

I need a ride, yeah, 
gotta take a real ride, 
wind-driven-tears ride, 
yeah, get outta my blind-side, 
yeah, I gotta get a ride...

(I can’t manage... 
the weight of hate, 
into my family’s life, 
so I teach them to love 
true road to the soul, 
and respect for the whole.)

I need a ride, yeah, 
gotta take a real ride, 
leather-wearing-pride ride, 
yeah, too fleeting to be blind, 
yeah, I gotta get a ride...

Gotta get a ride...

Gotta Get a Ride  (Oil on the Dance Floor)

Foolish Thinking

If you can keep your head when all about you
 Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
 But make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
 Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
 And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
 If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
 And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
 Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
 And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make a heap of all your winnings
 And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
 And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
 To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
 Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
 Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
 If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
 With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
 And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!

1985 - Rudyard Kipling

Strange City - Race to the Top

The latest music creation from Playfio is entitled ‘<b>Pukka-Dory Flutter</b>’ make what you will of the name, it doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue but then this one’s more about the music. My thinking was that more people might listen to this if I use a potentially memorable name! Probably won’t work but nothing ventured and all that.

This track came about through another compilation with Angela Sharman. She first wrote the original song for a scene in a short film. You can listen to the original <a href="http://soundcloud.com/angmuz/depression-scene-demo-for-film">HERE</a>. I have used a number of samples from Angela’s composition, I have veered away into quite a different sound and genre of music but I’m still learning and keen to try new styles of music.

Been Around The World

'Indian Medicine' features on 'Arcadian Resonance', the second studio album from PLAYFIO.
https://youtu.be/rbXt6ZOFNKw

This one started off with a very simple idea. A while back I was lucky enough to be passed on my late Grandad's LPs and subsequently purchased a record player. I spent a good while recording these old 78's dance band records into a digital format and audio restoring  them to get rid of all that hiss and crackle - while in this mode, I perhaps got a bit trigger happy on eBay and charity shops buying up more LP's one of which happened to be 'The Sounds of Time - 1934-1949' which contains no end of famous speeches from the time and one of which caught my attention by Jawaharlal Nehru on transfer of power to India. 

An inspiring speech indeed and certainly one that came to fruition when you look at great pace of development and advancement in India. 

The speech by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, delivering his Tryst with Destiny speech on the eve of independence. It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century and hence my title choice 'Indian Medicine'. My sample includes:

"We are little men serving great causes, but because the cause is great something of that greatness falls upon us also. Mighty forces are at work in the world today and in India and I have no doubt we are ushering in a period of greatness for India."
