Black Friday
BPM: 114

This instrumental is based on the sound of multiple tracks of Strats, synths  and electric bass.
It sounds a lot like a song of the eighties for the keyboards chords and the palm muted guitar parts.
The drums are programmed and they are based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. The drums are based on round robin samples which give to the patterns a natural feel.

The instrumental is available for sale on beatstars.com\gamandello or you can enjoy the full track on:

The track has been recorded, mixed and mastered on AKAI MPC Live and software.

Pimpf (Vampire Ball '24 Mix)

I've got seven bottles of water.
Two more to piss in.
I'd like to get things sorted.
But I don't know where to begin.
I'm glad I tore myself apart.
I didn't know which way to start.
What was begun?
I'll know that answer when I'm done.

My brothers are little rich kids.
My sister is the same.
While I'm stealing firelighters.
Living just to clear my name.
I've just one question before we start.
Should I be taking this to heart?
What's mine is mine?
I'll find out somewhere down the line.

My friends are going crazy.
Chase American dreams.
And I would join their party,
But I don't know what that means.
The 'truth' is nonsense, it would seem.
They're living someone else's dream.
Sit worlds apart.
I should have realised from the start.

I'm starting now to see.
(You) Don't create a thing for me.
Seem half destroyed by infamy.
Consider this, my litany.
Sulphides will rot away your heart.
I took a look back to the start.
No chosen one.
Your shadows blocking out my sun.

What's done is done.

Sometimes, I really feel.
Like no one can beat me.
But then I go and lose again,
You know the outcome by the end 
You know it just don't bother me.
I'm used to losing it would seem.
A sacred art.
That I've been learning from the start.

Six, E, Q, U, J, Five, Wow!
It isn't fucking aliens.
Get back down to earth now. 
There is no value to your art.
You should of known this from the start.
You're not divine.
Despite the memories in your mind.

Apeman, spaceman, later than creation.
Homebird, prison, from whence has arisen?
Lord, will you still my beating heart?
I should of known it from the start.
What's done is done.
They never said you were the one.

What's done is done.
What's done is done.

What's Done is Done

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen,
wie an diesem 
sommertag.
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen,
wie an diesem 
sommertag.

immer so tranqui und slow,
immer so fidelity low,
immer so far out auf coke.

eines tages ist leider schon vorbei.

ich hab den tag erwartet,
und bin schon durchgestartet,

kein auge zu all night,
am morgen viel zu breit,
leider keinen aufzug nehmen,
um in diesem leben aufzustehen,
gefühle kommen und gehen,
sonne versucht aufzugehen.

doch dieser schwere sky
ist trüb wie pferdeteich

immer so tranqui und slow
immer so fidelity low
immer so far out auf coke

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei

alles ist anders als sonst

alles ist schlimmer als sonst

alles tut mehr weh als sonst

alles ist weiter weg als sonst

ich hab gedacht, dass muss wohl so
doch in der nacht brenn ich wie 
bus voll stroh

alles ist anders als sonst

alles ist schlimmer als sonst

alles tut mehr weh als sonst

immer so fidelity low
immer so far out auf coke

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei.

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei.

ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
wie an diesem 
sommertag
ich bin noch nie so 
tief gefallen
und das leben geht vorbei.

Make a wish

KETAMINE

She said, “Yes, I still believe we survive." 
I watch it slip away.
She believes she has it figured out.
Doubt that she’s gonna stay.

I reconciled a long time ago.
She's counting the receipts. 
No one would give us half a chance.
That made the stayin’ sweet. 

Someone’s gonna say goodbye.
First or last, can’t say which is worst.
Someone’s gonna say, “All things must end.”
Who's gonna say it first?

Our expectations never soared.
We refused to make plans. 
That’s one less thing we had to avoid.
Won’t go through that again. 

Someone’s gonna say goodbye.
First or last, can’t say which is worst.
Someone’s gonna say, “All things must end.”
Who's gonna say it first?

Why take a chance? Just refuse to hold on. 
No one is first if it doesn't last.

Someone’s gonna say goodbye.
First or last, can’t say which is worst.
Someone’s gonna say, “All things must end.”
Who's gonna say it first?


Who's Gonna Say It First

There’s acoustic rock meets dream pop in this one with a bunch of surprises.
