Super appealing pop-rock-funk in a very pleasingly "transparent" mix. A bit of a guitar opera, too, with all of those varied and delicious character/tones. Intriguing video, too, flowing from a world of technique that is quite beyond me!

Cool song and super cool video that really fits the song and gives a great taste of VR world.

Cyber ecstasy awaits... alluring alter worlds of zeros and ones. Liking the sound and vibe you're getting Chris.

Collab with Her Musical Highness Damga, based on a sequence of melancholic chords and an Electric Piano bridge.
Lyrics:
"Waves of Isolation, I sink in the ocean of your venomous dreams.
In the cold dark water, I wake up to the beauty of your abyss.
There is a shark looming from the depth. 
My lateral line sense its fluid moves, as I crave for his kiss.

Waves of evolution, I emerge from the amniotic fluid of time.
I walk on the primordial sea shore, toward the dereliction of dawn.
Your crawling monsters follow my footprints on the dark sand.
I cherish my last scales and the iridescent mark they’ve drawn.

Waves of civilization, the ancient realm rise from the ground.
I ride the marble streets followed by soldiers and priests.
The glory of my victorious spear shines in the dawn of civilization.
Following my undefeated army, come the prisoners and the beasts.

Waves of emotion, I shiver under your photonic chords
Lost in the maze of counterpoints, I behold the astral serenity  of your hymn.
Sensual melodies electrify my spine and linger on my lips
I bite in the flesh of sounds, bath in the fragrance of rhythms

Waves of sublimation, triumphant and aroused, I wake up from your dream.
Your body besides me is warm and still,  gently breathing in a silver slumber.
I curl up in your warm naked strength and savor the scent of your skin.
An the night flowers, heavy with dew, weep for desire, drop by drop silently."

Dreaming of Storms

This song is again recorded with my phone. (Next probably a DAW song!) Motörhead has a cover of "Johnny B. Goode", so I Iistened to the original from the 50s! Chuck Berry Rock ‘n Roll. The intro is great, there are more songs with similar intros. They are so cool that I wanted to learn them at the end of last year and did. In this song, I just use my version of it as the intro. I play it a little lower so it's appropriate for my song. The last chord of the intro is the 1st chord of my song, except I play it as a power chord instead of a major chord. Some of my intro version is pretty much like the original, some is my version. It's really fun to play with these Rock ’n Roll intros, I could do it for hours. In one of the covers of the songs with these intros, the one with Beethoven in the title, there's an orchestral version of Beethoven's famous symphony at the beginning. I wanted that too, but of course only on my guitar, so I made up a guitar version of it and put it in front of the Rock ‘n Roll intro. Only after that my own song begins. It's even more freely than my 1st song here. I know the chords and riffs and lyrics, but decide always when playing when to change the riff. So the recording is a way for me to learn to produce one special version and not play it differently each time. You will hear that it is played and sung very freely. So consider it as a song performance for friends, not really a well-structured and finished song. Furthermore, I play nearly everything as slides, so it is harder to play then it sounds. I wanted to play it a bit faster, but it was not possible, this is the fastest drum accompaniment my amplifier has, it doesn't go any faster. One the other hand, for some parts of the lyrics it would be really difficult to sing it any faster.
Since someone asked for the lyrics of my last song I provide it here:
Guitar Heros
Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix gave us all the great licks
Angus Young, so alive, plays day and night
Eternal guitar riffs sound so loud
Make Berry’s Rock’n’Roll proud

Guitar heroes of the past, may be gone, their music will last.
Eddie van Halen’s fire hand, Tony Iommi’s powerful band
And not forget all the women of Rock:
Lita Ford’s solos wild and bold
Joan Jett’s chords breaking the mold
From their style I find my own
Like from seeds they have sown
With their songs I find my way
Getting better every day
Discovering riffs old and new
Offers a lesson for me and you
For me and you, for me and you

Guitar Heros

J'ai écrit cette chanson en hommage à l'un de mes meilleurs amis emporté par un cancer l'année dernière. Il n'avait même pas 50 ans. C'était un ami comme vous en rencontrez bien peu dans une vie. Un poto, un grand frère, un confident, un larron en foire, quelqu'un qui ne laissait personne indifférent... et forcément qui laisse une trace indélébile dans le coeur de ceux qui ont la chance de l'avoir connu. Et finalement, je crois que c'est ça "Le Meilleur de Toi" : c'est un hommage à sa grande générosité, à tout ces petits et grands bonheurs qu'il a semés un peu partout et à tous ces merveilleux souvenirs que nous avons de lui. Quel plus beau cadeau pouvait-il nous faire?

I wrote this song in tribute to one of my best friends who was taken by cancer last year. He wasn't even 50 years old. He was a friend like few you meet in a lifetime. A buddy, an elder brother, a confidant, a jester, someone who left no one indifferent... and inevitably leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. And ultimately, I believe that's what 'Le Meilleur de Toi' is about—it's a tribute to his great generosity, to all those little and big joys he scattered everywhere, and to all those wonderful memories we have of him. What greater gift could he have given us?


Le Meilleur De Toi

Je n’ai pas su trouver les mots
Pour te dire que c’était trop tôt 
J’voulais encore rester 
Près de toi

On aurait du défier le temps
Se moquer de nos cheveux blancs
Ça d’vait pas s’terminer 
Pas comme ça 

Ta lumière illumine mon cœur
J’pourrais la contempler des heures
En rêvant que finalement
On a toujours 20 ans
De toi il reste le meilleur 
Cet amour qui vient de l’intérieur 
Ce profond sentiment 
Que tu es toujours présent 

Souvent je regarde nos photos
Dans mes souvenirs il fait toujours chaud 
J’les ai fait défiler 
Tellement d’fois 

Et j’aimerais que tous ces instants
Brillent comme les étoiles au firmament
Beaux comme une nuit d’été 
Juste pour toi

Ta lumière illumine mon cœur
J’pourrais la contempler des heures
En rêvant que finalement
On a toujours 20 ans
De toi il reste le meilleur 
Cet amour qui vient de l’intérieur 
Ce profond sentiment 
Que tu es toujours présent 

Je n’ai pas su trouver les mots…

A song about holding on
Some moving pictures (and words) here - https://youtu.be/YfaXXG3ScHQ

Lyrics Part 1
Don’t go holding on to all of your failure
Not if you wanna reach for success
And don’t bite down on regret too soon
Because you might never get to forget
All the times when we were flailing 
And the lives when we were flawed
And all the chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors

Meanwhile losers keep on losing their time 
Yet still always they’ll find it to waste
Stuck holding onto that hopeless hope
Just to give themselves a kick in the face
So for the times when we were flailing 
And the lives when we were flawed
To all the chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors
Back then
We never thought about before
Wishing we could swap for before

We ran to choices that we chose to choose from
In indecision we were always so sure
But you can’t keep on fighting circles
Cos nobody wins a victimless war

We know we gotta make ourselves our own saviours
And go find new ways to believe
Yeah let’s stand up to always being stood up
By all of life’s cruel fate histories 
So bye to times when we were flailing
Au revoir to lives when we were floored
Ciao to Chances that we gave up so willingly
Just so we could run away from those doors
We ran to
Choices that we chose to choose from
In indecision we were always so sure
But you can’t keep on fighting circles
Cos nobody wins a victimless war
The answers not to go on just live out our lives
We must forgive not forget about before
Let’s step up to the plate and feed on love
Not gonna let us die on this floor
Cos if we don’t make love our law
We’ll never learn not to fall
We’re gonna die on this floor
Yeah if we don’t make love our law
We’ll never learn not to crawl
We’re gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on this floor
Gonna die on this floor
We’re gonna die on
We’re gonna die on
Gonna die on
Not gonna die on

Lyrics Part 2
Let love be our law
Let love be our law 
We’ll never forget before
But we must let love be our law
From empty ashes we burn
All life’s lessons we learned
We’ll never heal that hole
Always part of our soul
Let love be our law (never forget) 
Let love be our law
Let love be our law (never forget)
Let love be our law

The Floor (holding on)

My Double

Hey hey hey do you want to play?
I am waiting in the cloud here
Hey hey hey I think you ought to stay
I think it's going to get real loud here

Hey hey hey let's make a good day
We could be friends forever
Don't give up and just turn away
Let's hang out and do whatever

In this bubble you could be my double
We could make some trouble
Hey what do you say?

Way way way way far away
Far away into the future
I I I I I just hope
I hope that you're going to be there

Rain rain rain will wash away
All the thieves and the liars
I I I I'd like to think
Of us among the lambs and lions

In this bubble you could be my double
We could make some trouble
Hey what do you say?

Hey hey hey do you want to play?
I am waiting in the cloud here
Hey hey hey I think you ought to stay
I think it's going to get real loud here
