Well said in every way, Rick... words, voice, arrangement and recording. Who ever thought we'd be learning to do this?

A deep song about things that matter (to me) I like it Rick.

Still in Loony De Bussy prehistory ;)
One of my first songs and 4tracks solo recordings , especially first one here with young Bruno C vocals!
With a big help from my remastering :)

In Nataly NGM gallery I found the perfect illustration, with that kind of Joe Perry "au féminin" !! ^^

good evening mr. perry, i hear you sing the blues
you are a bit down today, but don't forget
we always have been fools
like david versus goliath, we are limited but cool
we’re just an indie rock band
always on the loose
no record contract and no budget,
no plastic music to get fooled
killed by the radio drabness,
we were reborn in our multicolored shoes
our currency is passion, our brand is a distorted chord
we are not dealing with the mainstream
being authentic - this is what we are
don't let you down
and get off the ground
life is an opera
behind the curtain we all are stars
good evening mr perry, we understand the rules
we‘re just a niche product between all the glossy brochures
of the music industry
we won’t change our attitude
we’re just an indie rock band
always on the loose

Mr Perry

Another reflective song. I can look back at myself as a younger man and then realized how much I've changed, hopefully for the better. Reflection is really only for those of us who were lucky enough to make it this far in life. For instance, I can look back what I thought love was in my 20's and what I believe love is, now that I am in my 70's. This song is really about letting go of old ideas which did not pass the test of maturity.

The music should definitely reflect maturity at the production/mixing level. I tried to improve the overall sound by creating unique guitar voicings then panning them for separation.


Sometimes
=========

[INTRO]

There are times in your life that are hard to forget
Other times seem to fade away and hard to recollect
No going back fixing holes my son in the roof of wrongs you’ve done
Just admire all the puddles, they are part of the retrospect.

Well, sometimes, it makes me sad
And sometimes,   I sure am glad
Sometimes, the man that you all know
Is better for having let go.

Well, when I was a young man, I wanted all of life in one taste
I was in such a hurry, there was no time to waste
You reap what you sow and in the wind it did blow
The immortality slipped through my fingers in my haste.

Well, sometimes, it makes me sad
And sometimes, I sure am glad
Sometimes, the man that you all know
Is better for having let go.

[SOLO]

But now I am an old man, much wiser than my years
The sound of laughing children is music to my ears
I’ve long forgotten lost loves because true love I have found
The path less used was longer, but left my conscience clear.
 
Well, sometimes, it makes me sad
And sometimes,  I sure am glad
Sometimes, the man that you all know
Is better for having  let go.  Let go.

Facts About Outer Space That Will Blow Your Mind (businessinsider.com)

Flying through space
I don’t know how to feel
I have just seconds to live
Without the cover you give

This distance, oh it’s so dark
Your magnetic fields pull me in

Sunset on Mars, Sun sets in blue
I know how it feels, I feel it for you
Twilight pushes through a dusty haze
Trying to filter your light

How do I live through the night
Now that you’re out of my life
How do I live through the night
I float through a blue Martian sky

Tracing Footprints
On the Surface of a moon
Could be here millions of years
And that’s how long I will feel

Space isn’t always so cold
Maybe there’s more I don’t know

Sunset on Mars, sun sets in blue
Know how it feels, I feel it for you
Twilight pushes through a dusty haze
Don’t filter your light

Space isn’t always so cold
Maybe there’s more I don’t know

Sunset on Mars, sun sets in blue
Know how it feels, I feel it for you
My life pushes through a distant gaze
I will still look for your light
I will still look for your light
I will still look for your light

Lyrics:

I put myself aside
Did as you wanted
You never asked me how i feel..
I didn't say what i ment
Always let you to decide
What was the best for us...

But what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I gave you control
To lead the way for us
Thought it would be easier for me...
I became invisible
Couldn't even see myself
But i didn't have the courage to say

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

Ohhh, what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you...

I almost got lost
Became my own shadow
Was about to erase all of me..
I realized that I matter too
And i am just as important as you...

So what about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you..

Change will come
I will take control
And not be quiet anymore..
I want to be seen
I want to be heard
When i speak out the words..

What about me?
What about my life?
Iam just as precious as you....

Lyrics:

If you feel tired and can't find any pleasures
Unable to see how things really should be

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If you don't know how to love
And don't know how to live
If you feel split in two
And have nothing to give

You need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day

If family and friends see you as only strong
They may not be aware of
That you struggle all day long

And need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

To be able to help others
You have to help yourself
Don't be ashamed
To stop up and say

That you need a long break
To heal your heartache
And for gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength, to get through the day..

So take a long break
To heal your heartache
And for Gods sake don't blame yourself
Take a deep breath
A good rest
To regain strength to get through the day...

Take A Long Break   W/PJ Project

reworking 'November Song' by Marco Lucchi

Marco Lucchi - November Song (Vaders Orchestra extended mix)

Somewhere I read that SoundCloud is the DIY of the music world.  Very true for most of us wannabe (famous) musicians.  For those who were lucky enough to spend years in an actual sound studio, maybe this is a slam dunk. For the rest of us, it's like being the Wright brothers before they fully understood the science behind aerodynamics much less get a machine to fly.

I have learned a lot in 2018 thru 2019 while playing at small, local venues.  It's a lot easier to sit back in a "recording studio".  I do put that in quotes since, for me, this is just a couple of microphones connected to a DAW which is connected to a computer with some multi-track software and some free plugins to enhance the finished product.  I believe there are about 5 unique disciplines to learn which include: playing an instrument, singing, doing both together, using a microphone, connecting with the audience.  I have much more respect for stage performers now, especially solo artists. Now, if one adds the discipline of recording engineer, well then, you have a well rounded musical background. 

I do hope that you enjoy some of my tunes.  I'm always happy to hear from listeners who have something meaningful to share, even when it is not particularly flattering or in someway odd.  I'll even try to answer any questions you may have.  Remember that you are never too old nor too young to create and share your music and/or share your knowledge.
