Who doesn't know "Limelight" by Gina Dee? It inspired me mightily. Long time ago, but was really the best time back then :)

Honey & Pepper

Pulling myself out of a bit of musical doldrums (we’ve all been there!), I resurrected a song that sat for a long time in concept only.  I intended it to be a driven song with a Billy Cobham/Jan Hammer influence.  Something that was on my “musical shelf” and collecting a lot of dust, a victim of the doldrums, that finally sparked and I took it from a scratch idea into what is presented here.

Changes

Assured need only remember a name and that's mine
Because everyone else is just blind leading blind

CHORUS
Tactical fingers will point to the easy way out
Practically guiding our way to achieve what they spout
Poised my own fingers to salute in the style of the lout
Excuse me, I'm bailing out

There's a fly floating in my half full glass
I contemplated a swig but I think that I'll pass

CHORUS

It's apocalypse and the sky grows black
I feel your pain but I'm alright Jack

CHORUS

Tactical Fingers

Remember way back in Highschool?

Thanks to:

Remember way back in Highschool
When we thought that we were cool
Never dreamed that it would last long
While I dreamed awhile with you
We would run through the halls
Throw our books at the walls
and I do it all for you
I'll never forget smoking cheap cigarettes
to look cool, in front of you

Later on we took the long way home
So I could walk awhile with you
dreamed of where we'd be in 5 longs years
and I'd dream those dreams with you
I was cool I was calm I was Hip I was suave
when I told you it was you
I'll never forget all those things that I said
to look cool infront of you

Cause Darling I loved you
Back in Highschool

When I think about those Highschool years
I can't help but think of you
Those days are gone but it makes me smile

Highschool

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y is led by Robin Benjamins and features collaborations with composers and musicians from down the road, and from around the world.  These artists are:
