Beautiful song, some lovely blues notes by the way..

This is a really great song, Richard, now that we think, hey, that was a long time ago. The track has its special atmosphere, despite lightness - depth. Great guitar parts, voices and a lot of good "musical details". 🪐

a wonderful song, love the instrumentation and vocals

Great song and story! Lovely work on this composition Richard!

This is my Covid Project.
Up until recently I reckon I was the only person on the planet not to have experienced the dreaded virus!
Anyway, I finally caught it while trying to record this song. All fairly mild but it lingered a while, and affected my voice a bit. 
This song has been knocking around for so long now I haven't the heart to do any more re-recording :) So ........ up it goes.
PS all better now ....... eventually!

One Face in a Million

Finally working the Volca Drum back into the mix after not having used it for a little while. I like the lofi effect it gives the drum beat. With this track I leaned a little heavier into the Vital VST I've been experimenting with, also used the old minilogue and microfreak. Thanks for listening!

Homeostatic Imbalance

'Another False Flag' is a Fusion track. With the world currently in a state of chaos, the old saying of: 'Think the best, but prepare for the worst' came to mind. So this is me thinking the best and hopefully we can all stay on that track, knowing that 'Another False Flag' could happen at any moment and being prepared for it.

Lyrics
We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
(We've only begun)
Before the risin' sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We'll start out walkin' and learn to run
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
(And yes, we've just begun)
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day
Together
Together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun

Give It Up

We've Only Just Begun

We've Only Just Begun - Carpenters | Cover by TexMex Shaman & REKHA - IYERN [Fe] | Ballad ROCK

This is a song that started with Ian (IPG1 aka Lou) and his amazing vocal stem, of which I really identify with the lyrics. He has a plethora of vocal stems, so if you're interested in making a hip hop song, you did hit him up. He shared this psychiatrist l particular one with Tez (Llanpsych), who put a beat and guitar on it. Tez then sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth. Then Tez put the solo part in there along with the effects. he mixed and produced it, and an excellent job he always does, too. This is my first foray into making hip hop, though I've listened to plenty. Hopefully there will be more to come.

Purple Microdot (with IPG1 aka Lou, and Llanpsych)

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD

alex g - come back (cover)

I know I should’ve seen the signs. They kept on saying, “It’ll turn out fine.
That’s the price you pay, when your resume
Doesn’t really say what’s in your heart.
Nobody else had a clue, none of them told me, or acted like they knew.
It was full-steam ahead, make a living, earn that bread.
Walking through the motions, play the part.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

I thought I was right on track. Full-steam ahead, there’s no going back.
There were ups and downs, but I always found
A place on holy ground that hit the spot.
Just play your role, be a friend, don’t take a chance, and dear God, don’t offend.
There were baby steps, but most the time, they slept,
Never get specific, never hot.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

Guess you can say I survived. I went into battle, and I came out alive.
And this song I sing doesn’t change a thing.
I’ll be clinging tight to what I’ve got.
Maybe my time’s not yet up. Maybe I still have a drink from that cup.
Gotta keep on tryin’, it’ll turn out fine.
Maybe I have figured out what’s what.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

Legend of Scott
