Track 8 of the Album soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-haunted-house
The Dining Room was extravagantly big considering the size of the house and a portrait of Grandpa Henry shown pretentiously as the king of the house was looking at us during dinner. Brothers and sisters were singing “Food Glorious Food” kidding the welcome of the good meals Grandma was bringing at the table. Indeed, we were not religious and thus did not pray before eating. Uncle Rudolf was sometime joining us since he was living in a room at the basement. Those dinners with Uncle Rudolf were usually turning sour as he was a loud man with a small mustache talking about politics and how he dislikes the cultural diversity. During one of those dinners he was so upset by our society that he burned a pile of books in front of the house. Fortunately, he was so ignorant about history and literature that he burned 10 years of the Readers Digest, Humpty Dumpty’s weekly and Jack & Jill magazines. We enjoyed the fire while cooking Marshmallow and made fun of him. 
Music and Production: Syrel
Photography: Syrel (1989)

Musical Note: Main theme based on “Food Glorious Food” by the Lionel Bart musical Oliver!, and the orchestration style of Prokofiev, “Lieutnant Kijé” and Paul Dukas “La Périe” and The “Sorcerer's Apprentice”. It is then combined with the structure and rhythmic of the demo fanfare “Silky Glory” by Christian Henson and orchestrated as John Adams - “The Chairman Dances”.

“This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.”

All Rights Reserved'  October 22, 2019

The streets are so dark and dire
What are we doing here...
A strong cup and a smile
Or maybe just disappear...

Seeking asylum from
a shade that you cant unsee
White light clouds my head
I’m Diving in too deep...

Words they elude me now...
You take 'em right away 
Why is the one that led you here...
Lookin the other way

We’re far away from home
oh so far away we roam
So far away...here to stay
Oh so far away from home...

What are you thinking now 
Behind that vacant stare
The weight of the world somehow
upon your face so fair...

Words they confuse me now...
You take 'em right away 
Why is the one that led you here
Lookin the other way...

The streets are so dark and dire...
What are we doing here

A Great Journey

My interpretation of "Socialite", the song written and performed by Richie Kotzen & his band / from his Album "Mother Head's Family Reunion" (1994). It's a song of poetic irony against so-called 'Socialite'. 

This cover mainly consists of 2 versions; 
1) 00:00 Intro-Verse-Chorus-Bridge sections (& Outro) that basically follow the Original Studio Version.
2) 02:36 Interlude-Guitar Solo sections that basically follow the Live Version (“Live in Sao Paulo”, 2001) >>  Solo 1 (Clean) starts at : 03:34 & Solo 2 (Distortion): 04:50- .

- I first covered this song about 25 years ago with my band...I've loved its various rhythm pattern especially drumming in this song and it's been one of my drum practice pieces since then.  
I'd completed the first half of this cover (studio version sections) about half a year ago...but couldn't find a vocalist this time and decided to make an instrumental version, then let it alone since I wanted to record the latter half but couldn't have time...anyway, finally I could make it last week...
-Vocal parts are substituted by my humble Keys (Synth Organ). 

Hope you enjoy. Any feedback would be appreciated.
