X
Music by Overdrive & Smilex
Master by Chris Schlue

This is my reinterpretation/remix of the song X by the awesome English band Smilex. The initial plan was to produce something industrial/cyberpunk, but I was seduced by the idea of making a rockabilly version of X, with hints of punk rock.

Huge thanks to Lee (lead singer), who kindly offered me the invitation to do a remix of the song -- he's probably regretting it by now, but it's too late, man. 😄

Boasting an ear splitting career spanning over a decade, Smilex are the band who have done it all. Several releases on Quickfix Recordings (who discovered Youthmovies) and spots on various compilations & singles clubs, including a split ep with The Young Knives & a collaboration with MC Lars, have made Smilex a band renowned within their native Oxford. Explosive live shows – betraying a tendency for reckless self-endangerment coupled with a drive to put the audience's experience above all else – have led local music bible Nightshift to dub Smilex “Oxford's one band Riot”. Infamous live antics have caught the eyes and ears of musical types across the country, earning them the title of Playmusic's “best unsigned live act of 2010”, whilst securing slots playing beneath (and raising the bar for) the likes of The Damned, The Datsuns, and The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster.

I recommend checking out Smilex's great tracks on their Soundcloud page:

Once again, Chris Schlue has done a wonderful job mastering the track. Check out Chris's excellent music production on his Soundcloud page:

“WORTH IT” is about one of those situations where you give your all to someone who, in the end, just wasn’t worth it. It’s emotional but honest — smooth melodies with a raw message underneath. I wrote and structured the whole track myself, keeping it melodic and floaty while still hitting that real, reflective tone.

WORTH IT

Worth It

She blew a kiss in my direction.
She made me smile, and that’s hard to do.
‘Cause a man like me is used to being free,
And freedom loves the truth.
She said, “It’s just for your protection.
I know you have a tender heart.
If your heart still sings, it won’t mean anything.
Until it gets blown apart.

Let it ride, let it roll, but don’t let it fall off the table.
Take it in stride, you’re in the hole, but you’re gonna win real soon.
I know the odds look mighty long, and your urges get so strong.
Just let it ride.

She smiled that smile, and knew she had me.
I guess I’m not that hard to read.
I’m just a small town kid, and once I popped the lid,
There’s no way to stop the bleed.
She said, “I’ll always have your best interest.
I will not dare lead you astray.
But it might take a while, I’ll try to reconcile,
The things we dream today.

Let it ride, let it roll, but don’t let it fall off the table.
Take it in stride, you’re in the hole, but you’re gonna win real soon.
I know the odds look mighty long, and your urges get so strong.
Just let it ride.



Let It Ride

disturbing the peace - Robert Grigg & Combstead

'POLAR NiGHT' is a Dark-Pop track, with a trip-hop style, and haunting, harmonic, female vocals. Driven by slow tempo hip-hop style beats, and low-end bass, and backed by melancholic piano hits, strings, and a synth-hook that drives melody of the track. 

The somber yet uplifting vocals navigate a trip through a Polar Night… that is stricken with sorrow… yet defiant in hope.

„Time doesn’t run — it just stands in the rain.“

Background: soft container crackle, steady rain on metal

"I am Cell B. Not an artist name. Not a metaphor. Just reality."

I live on a trailer site, deep in decay. Among rusted staircases, watering cans, and people who say they’re sick when they’re just tired. I’m sick. Really sick. I have B-cell lymphoma. And still — or maybe because of that — I’m here. Fully present. With Murschel, my cat. Coffee. Cigarette. And the rain, which hasn’t stopped for four days.

This isn’t a book about hope. It’s not a cancer guide. Not an emotional appeal. It’s a spoken memoir of reality, with music you can read to. 25 chapters. No storyline arc. No happy ending. But every line is lived.

Decay speaks to me. And I speak back. I found home in things no one wants to keep. And time doesn’t run — it just stands in the rain.

Schwellenwind. It begins now.

New episode every Sunday. You coming with me?

This is the full book — each chapter paired with one track of music. No publisher, just eyes and ears. No money, just time and sound.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro-Folge: Schwellenwind – Kapitel 0

Hintergrund: leichtes Containerknistern, Dauerregen auf Metall

"Ich bin Zelle B. Kein Künstlername. Keine Metapher. Einfach nur die Realität.

Ich lebe auf einem Bauwagenplatz, mitten im Verfall. Zwischen rostigen Treppen, Gießkannen und Leuten, die krank sagen, wenn sie müde sind. Ich bin krank. Wirklich krank. Ich hab B-Zell-Lymphom. Und trotzdem – oder gerade deshalb – bin ich hier. Voll da. Mit Murschel, meinem Kater, Kaffee, Zigarette, und dem Regen, der seit vier Tagen nicht aufgehört hat.

Das hier ist kein Buch über Hoffnung. Kein Tumor-Ratgeber. Kein emotionaler Appell. Es ist ein Hörbuch über Wirklichkeit, mit Musik zum Lesen. 25 Kapitel. Kein Spannungsbogen. Kein Happy End. Aber jede Zeile ist gelebt.

Der Verfall spricht mit mir. Und ich mit ihm. Ich habe Heimat gefunden in Dingen, die keiner behalten will. Und die Zeit läuft nicht davon – sie steht einfach nur im Regen.

Schwellenwind. Jetzt beginnt’s."

Neue Folge jeweils Sonntags. Willst du mitkommen? Hier kommen Auszüge aus dem kompletten Buch mit allen Kapiteln und jeweils ein Track mit Musik dazu.
Kein Verlag nur Augen und Ohren - kein Geld nur Zeit und Ton.
Ich freue mich. Mein Geist freut sich über die Entkoppelung von Leistung und Geld und containert lieber. 
Fortsetzung folgt am nächsten Sonntag.

Schwellenwind

I’ve gotten good at playing make believe, just keep on keeping on.
Everything is fake, you see, except that you are gone.
It’s gonna break me, guess the seeds I’ve sown were all weeds. 

Another day, another time, another opportunity,
Just one mountain left to climb, one trip ‘cross the sea.
I always thought you were just the one for me.

Nothing left but an empty place beside me
That’s where you belong.
Empty places always gather dust.
It’s not staying empty very long.

I’d grown accustomed to you being here, I guess I’ll come around.
I’m not used to seeing clear, an unfamiliar sound. 
One more night of fightin’ tears, then I’m happy bound. 
Nothing left but an empty place beside me
That’s where you belong.
Empty places always gather dust.
It’s not staying empty very long.


I know you tried, but trying’s not enough to make it through. 
If you decide I still mean something to you. 

Nothing left but an empty place beside me
That’s where you belong.
Empty places always gather dust.
It’s not staying empty very long.

So, this is actually a song I wrote about a year ago.  Went through an added more to it but the one thing I concentrated on was something I wasn't totally aware of.  The loudness penalty that can occur when uploading music.  So, I adjusted everything to get more in line to what it needs to be hopefully this gets the track more to what it needs to be for quality for what it is.  No means is this a professional mix and master but hopefully a little closer.  Writing music and putting it all together and then mixing it and mastering it myself is a hobby I have and still have a lot of learning as I go.  If curious you can go back and listen to the first works, I have and see if you can hear the improvement of this journey. Hope you enjoy this one and thanks for listening.
