Alas, it wasn't me who played the guitar!. I gave it up a very,
very long time ago. Besides,
I can't remember how to pluck the chords... 🙄😊😁
(I used to sing it and play guitar when I was young).

In fact it is a guitar sound from the synthesizer going
through a sound module. But no synthesizer guitar sound can
replace the real sound of a guitar... Maybe now...
With the new technology.
Besides you can hear that it is a bit machine.

There are imperfections, I recorded it in one take.
When I sing, I only have the feeling once,
so inevitably the wrong notes and the pronunciation
mistakes are in the “box” as they say.

Magic Box  (With Lizzie Taypen)

lost in loveland

Ever since I saw an incredible Canadian band (Recipe From a Small Planet) do a live Reggae jam and seamlessly slide into a cover of 'Watching The Detectives', I wanted to try something similar. In this case, I did the opposite, starting with the cover, and adding a kinda reggae/dub section at the end, which starts at 3:15. 

For the dub portion, I enlisted the help of one of the best talents I know - @Llanpsych (Tez) - to add his magic and 'dubbify' the whole instrumental section at the end. I'm singing and playing all the instruments here using my keyboard, and some echo effects, and Tez did the rest to produce that authentic dub atmosphere into the mix. I recommend listening to that part at least with headphones, and hope you enjoy the result! Thanks so much Tez, I couldn't have done this without your mad skillz!

Sharp ears may notice the following 2 details: 

  -  In the last few seconds, I threw in the theme from 'The Godfather', played on melodica (see credit below). 

  -  at 0:39, you can faintly hear my dog barking in the background. I decided to keep it in, since she barked at the line, "red dogs under illegal legs", which I thought was funny timing!  :)

INSTRUMENTS:
bass, drums, rhythm & lead guitar, organ, piano, electric piano, melodica, steel pan drums, ukulele, synth horns, voice

Watching the Dubtectives (cover + dub mix with Llanpsych)

just messing around with some less common time signatures with this cool sounding VST jazz drum kit I like. This is a little ruff but a short and fun example.   :)

Verse 1
The Rain fall in the garden,
A brand new start, a day to learn.
Forget all, we were us ,
and now ... we get in touch.

Chorus
There's somewhere else that we could be,
There's someone else that we can see.
There's only love to set us free.
All that we can, we can be,
All that we are, we can see.
All that leasure fall in our hands,
So -- don't --fall back again !

Verse 2
The day fall down the sea,
It's a pleasure to see this one.
No pressure, don't be sorry,
Comes a time where it's more easy.

Chorus
There's somewhere else that we could be,
There's someone else that we can see.
There's only love to set us free.
All that we can, we can be,
All that we are, we can see.
All that leasure fall in our hands,
So -- don't --fall back again !

Don't Fall Back Again

Live Reflexion#033

Lyrics:
She was wrong for me
I knew it from the start
I'm not very smart
I left a spare key under the mat
To my broken heart

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

My boss had an epiphany
When I was working at the mortuary
He said: Dig them holes faster!
"This business has no room for uncertainty!"

That may be
Oh, can't you see?
When I'm working for you
I just don't feel like I'm being me
When I'm working for you I ain't following my muse
And there she goes...
(There she goes!!!!)

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
Hey friends, won't you help me spread the news?

I get all my blues for free
Don't you know I'm so low I can't see?
A lousy day...
A lousy pay...
I'm a lousy lay...
I think I'm everything
That everybody say

I'm kicking it
One step ahead of the blues
I'm kicking it 
One step ahead of the blues
I'm sleeping it off in those Sunday pews

One Step Ahead Of The Blues
