Breathe

"Backfire" is a song about false friends and wishing that their toxic shoots fire back at them. However, your wish stays a wish, because your pride and dignity keeps you from causing harm. 
Lemonbrew started the collaboration with a catchy and energetic rock progression. I rearranged the song and wrote lyrics and a vocal melody. Later, Flinn joined us to rock out the vocals. Thank you very much for collaborating, it's been a lot of fun!

==== LYRICS ====

You wasted my precious time
on spreading rumours and lies
Shooting me in  a drive-by
drawing me into riptide

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey,
I wanna... 

Watch how burn your fingers and...
build a castle on quicksand
or wade through wasted land
(Of course I wanna...)

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

So I light up a light
To escape from the twilight
Not ready for the limelight
Not ready to start a fight

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey!

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you make me do!

One day, I gonna be tough
give way for vengeance and grudge
I'll push you into the sludge
Where there is noone to judge

And I wanna... 

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you made me do!

Thank You very much for 1300 plays! ❤️

This is little experiment for me - a revamp of an other persons track.
About 4 months ago I came across a song by Donak RV "Duo Melodica" https://soundcloud.com/donakrv/duo-melodica. I really liked it, and since I was working on the song "You Can Count on Us", I had a free nylon guitar from @heavyocitymedia Foundations on hand. I started improvising to it... and this remix/revamp was born ;) I sent Donak RV a sample and he agreed to let me perform this "devastation" of his track ;) This version is made on the basis of an MP3 file downloaded from the author's profile. A stem version is still in development.

I hope You'll like it at least a bit :)

Christmas Passing

Live Reflexion#008

FULL INSTRUMENTAL!

“The Way” started with a piano melody and kept unfurling as I healed from the loss of a few loved ones last year…which was capped off with my beautiful family dogs both passing. The lyrics to this song took on their loss, but the whole thing is really an open entry from my own grief process through to happiness again.

My words are always wrong
I don’t know what to say to you
i’ve tried to put them in a song
i hope that it's a way to break through

I think we’re stronger than you know
More than you give it credit for
yeah,there’s a long long way to go
But first we have to open up the door

So we’ve had our share of tears
You think the dream has gone
We are fumbling through the years
We can find a way to carry on

How can you say that i’m not here
I’ve been right here all along
How can you say that i don’t care
When everything i do is for you, right or wrong

Look straight ahead, don't look back
We both know what we’ve been through
Please don’t mind those hard times
Because they led me here to you

I’ll hold on
And you’ll stay strong

Now it’s good to see you smile 
you haven’t felt like smiling for a while
And the feel of your hand in my hand
It makes everything worthwhile

we’ve had our own share of the dark 
But all of those hard times are gone
And the road ahead is long
But we don’t have to walk alone

Look straight ahead, don't look back
We both know what we’ve been through
Now i don’t mind those hard times
Because they led me here to you

I’ll hold on
And You stay strong

Toca La Guitarra

PS Perkins: Guitars, bass, lyre, vocals
Ron Thomas: Autoharps, Drums

Production notes:
---------------------------------------------
Very early on we wanted to use autoharps on this song to create a sort of swirling backdrop, reminiscent of the harps in Indian/Bollywood soundtrack songs of the seventies.

Right away there were challenges because the song is in B flat and is not wholly diatonic to begin with, utilizing a chord built on the augmented lydian scale in the choruses. So rather than transpose the song to a more amenable key (since the chromatic bits weren't going to work no matter what key we used) we instead re-tuned the autoharp. Moving through the strings one by one we tuned them either up or down a half step where applicable to bring them into key. Where the augmented chord hit in the choruses, we excluded those notes so that the autoharp was filling the diatonic parts of the chords and omitting the accidentals. It took us several tries to get it right. In the end we arrived at a chord progression that could be strummed on the autoharp and the modified chords could be played with existing dampers.

We also tuned the lyre so that the top half of the strings included the chromatic augmented notes while the lower register of the lyre was tuned using the diatonic, so the lyre could play the melody all the way through both parts of the song.

The inspiration for this song was essentially fourfold:
--------------------------------------------------------
First, H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying necromancer Joseph Curwen (from "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward") who masked his true identity in order to thwart suspicion from his fellow townsfolk. He has many secrets lurking in his underground catacombs where he performs acts of necromancy most foul, extracting the "salts" of the dead in order to raise them at will and learn the secrets of ancient eldritch deities.

Second, a poem by Rudyard Kipling titled "En-Dor" which was a warning against the rise of spiritualism and the cost of communion with the dead in the early 20th century.

Third, the biblical Saul who traveled in disguise to visit a witch at the city of Endor in order to summon Samuel from the dead and garner advice on defeating the Philistines, but who only prophesies doom for Saul. Saul dies later the next day in the battle of Gilboa.

Lastly, the story of Odysseus communing with the underworld where he enlists the help of Tiresias to have a chat with the dead and secure for himself a safe journey home.

They all seek communion with the dead for one purpose: to gain knowledge which only those who have crossed over between realms might possess. 

Lyrics:
-------------------------------------
A mask may reveal what it’s meant to conceal
From those who are standing beside us
Armor of pride, so we learn to abide
By the monsters which hide deep inside us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us
Oh, how they scratch and they bite us
The monsters which lurk deep inside us

Only to know what the professor knows

Eating black bread, wearing clothes of the dead
The soil soaked in honey around us
For fear if we failed, leave the ogre unveiled
And it’s back in the grave where they found us
Back in the grave where they found us
Freed from the ties which had bound us
Back in the grave where they found us

Only to know what the professor knows

In the catacomb vaults, we extracted the salts
From cadavers to lengthen our youth
Chanting the names at the edge of the flames
And a mirror to show us the truth
A mirror which speaks only truth
See how it seeks not to soothe
A mirror which speaks only truth

Only to know what the professor knows

In the underworld maze, in the night of no days
Concocting the plan we’re devising
Much to endure on the road to En-Dor
And to snatch from Elohim arising
To snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
Snatch from Elohim arising
