The song is a collaboration between Gary Kemske, guitarist Rick Land, and singer-songwriter Gregg Kemske.  Rick and Gregg completed the composition and recorded it in a living room using a BR800 digital recorder.

Just Like We Use to Be

Just Like We Use To Be

I will pretend to have a soul
On the days that I am wholly hollow
We'll slay everything your afraid of

Sound Weird -

Having benefitted from many generous SC artists' Open Collaborations in the past, I have decided to upload my own.

Please feel free to add anything you like. If you'd like me to comment and repost, please send me a DM and I'll oblige as soon as I can. Sorry I won't be able to send individual stems.

It is a simple guitar, bass and drums turnaround, repeated three times. Complicate it as much as you'd like, or just use it to jam to as you please

Be good

Nick

This is The Shadows In The Shade.  It's about "living in a simulation" theory.

Lyrics:
Watching every move you make
Hearing every thought
Knowing everything you are
And everything you're not

Nothing will you try to do
Nothing do you say
Shadows in the shade
Providing you the way

Every move you make, your own
Believe what you believe
Yet doing things with cause unknown
Is too much to conceive

Barely take a moment's pause
Then get on with your day
Back on track and for the cause
For that's the chosen way

Connecting and collecting
Minds and souls to trade
Blending in the background
Shadows in the shade

In another lifetime
Outside in the sun
Playing games with those they knew
Real friends having fun

Mothers called the children home
When the sun went down
Street lights brightly shined the way
For all the kids in town

Immersing in the virtual
Real worlds to the eyes
Without a question follow paths
As if hypnotized

Somewhere in the deepest dream
A voice is calling out
Street lights brightly shine the way
Then suddenly go out

Morning brings a brand new day
In time all dreams will fade
All part of the simulation
From shadows in the shade

The Shadows In The Shade

Parfums d'avant


  Dans la vie de simples symboles,  coupures d'esprit 
regards noirs s'envolent
 longues facéties annonces désinvoltes, du sang meurtri, 

 Tout n'est pas différent, il y a le temps qui se prolonge 
Sur le fil de nos songes, les lumières disparaissent
Laissons les bons moments, survivent étonnamment
Dans des grains de poussière, en suspends, en l'air



 Tous les mots d'amour se réduisent un jour dans les sources en cours et les pas de velours.
Ils résistent aux feux, ils résistent au vent, ils voyagent par tous les temps.
Inscrits dans nos mémoires, ils survivent au temps, gracieux, ils demeurent vivants
ils sont des charbons ardents , sur lesquels les ans, ne laissent pas de blancs

 C'est au fil du temps  des beaux moments on regarde enfant
les sables mouvants
visages étranges et faux semblants  bonbons sucrés regorgent d'amitié
les bons moments illustrent le temps des parfums d'avant
nos plus beaux chants
 des charbons ardents, sur lesquels les ans, ne laissent pas de blancs

Rust
