I had recorded an early demo of this tune in the 1990s on a TEAC 4-track cassette recorder playing a Yamaha steel string and later added classical guitar parts. Sadly I lost that tape. So I’ve reconstructed it digitally with new arrangements using my Akai keyboard or scoring it directly into my DAW editor.

A lot of synth guitars and keyboards set to hip hop beats at 85 bpm. 

Hard rainfall audio recorded live in December 2023.

Danse Breakdown'. Vocals. Vocalatti. Music. David. k. A. Spencer
New music, composition, encompassing , the vocals of 'the original song, Danse Danse': Kadish, Lucas, Scott, Slater (Apra/Amcos 2022)

David Lucas and his late father, Bill Lucas, an acclaimed Sydney architect attended my voice workshops held by the "Once Extra Dance Company" back in the "80's". Adventurous , creative souls with no holds barred on what was the beginnings of Danse Danse. It was then called "Dance Out Of Beat" and was a commentary on the club scene that I'd very much been a part of in the "60's" In recent times I invited Annette Scott on board who has brought it brilliantly to fruition along with my longtime collaborator, Jazz pianist/composer, Kirk Kadish. Now we have a new take on the current dance scene with a touch of empowerment as to who has the final moves.

Échos d’ Automne 

Si l’automne vient surprendre les amants que juillet a laissés « naufragés »
C est le temps des regrets, le temps dépassé: celui de tout donner, il faut abandonner.

(All summer can bring may just leave in autumn with a breeze)

Le temps d’une larme,le temps d’un regard, il est déjà trop tard…
Le temps des silences, de l’indifférence, puis de l’évidence que le “doré” vire au noir…
C’est le mois des “mais”, le mois des “mais “, plus de mois de mai…du mois d’aimer!

Le temps de l’automne, le temps où tout détonne, le temps désormais se conjugue au passé
Le temps des tourmentes, le temps de ne plus prétendre,
Le temps le temps qui court et qui s arrête et puis…
Le temps,qui s en va, qui s en va, qui s en va, tout se fane!

Le temps de t’attendre, le temps de se comprendre, le temps d’apprendre, le temps dépassé, le temps des regrets, de tout donner!


Echos of Autumn 

If autumn comes to surprise lovers that July left "shipwrecked"
It is the time of regrets, the time exceeded: that of giving everything, we must give up.

(All summer can bring may just leave in autumn with a breeze)

The time of a tear, the time of a look, it's already too late
The time of silences, indifference, then evidence that gold turns dark
It is the month of "buts", the month of "buts", no more months of May... the month of love!

The time of autumn, the time when everything stands out, time is now combined with the past
The time of torments, the time to no longer pretend,
Time the time that runs and stops and then
Time, who goes, who goes, who goes, everything fades!

The time to wait, the time to understand each other, the time to learn, the time exceeded, the time of regrets, to give everything....

WRETCHED BEGGAR

Ooooo….
Ooooo….

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
Why don’t you 
Why won’t you
Why can’t you
Get out of my way 
It’s my way

All you do
When I’m in your arms
All you do 
To twist and turn me
All you do
To look the other way
Alll you do
To ignore me

I should leave you
I can’t bear you
Why don’t I
Why won’t I
Why can’t I
Get out of my way 
Gotta be one day

A little devil in my mind
Poking me with his red hot trident
White smile on his face
I feed him 
I feed him
That fat little bastard
I’m gonna get the wretched beggar

All I do
To forget myself
All I do
To erase myself
Never do
Anything I used to
Never do
Anything I want to

Better for you
Better for me
I think we
I believe we
I hope we
Get out of my way 
Never better than today

Lyrics (Dave Orestes):

What is rich? You're asking me
Rich is so simple, don't you see
It's not what you own but what you do and say
.
What is rich? You're asking me
It's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Rich is how well you sleep at night and
your thoughts on your own death bed
when you have few regrets
few regrets
.
Rich is passing on
the prospect of hope
so that all have a chance
to prosper and grow
Rich is not how tall 
Your sky scrapers grow
no no no no
.
Or the number of seats
in your stadium row 
It's not how many toys
in the attic you've stowed 
oh no no
that's not it
.
What is rich? You're asking me
Oh it's not hard to explain
It's all about what you feel
Not what you touch every day 
.
Rich is when
All the children are fed
And each of them has 
A warm safe bed
Rich is how 
You care for people 
That, you've never met
.
It's not hard to explain 
It's all about what you feel 
And not what you touch
Every day
.
Doo da doo da doo
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa la laa
Laa la laa
La laa la la
.

DownTheRabbitHole

To all the poor of spirit
The meek, the ones who mourn
Those who thirst for justice 
Unfettered by the scorn

Yours shall be the kingdom
The mercy and the win
Known too as the children
Of the beginning and the end
The beginning and the end

Ah rockem sockem, now it’s like this
If I may I be so bold
First world problems, sink or swim
Do the Rigamarole 

De facto mojo, just for love        
Well waddaya know about that
Oneness lies within plane sight
Do the Rigamarole 
Down the rabbit hole

Ah come on now

Down the rabbit hole
Do the Rigamarole

Solo

The stars that sparkle 
In the night 
Fade away into day light
As morning heralds in 
A brand new day

No it’s not rocket science
Just misunderstood 
Don’t wanna fret but can’t forget
Though I wish I could
Knock, knock, knock on wood

To the salt of the earth
That lights  up the world
From the dawn of time
Of the eternal Grind

Here comes the Welcome Wagon
With the rubber soul
The greatest story ever told
Down the rabbit hole
Do the Rigamarole

Ah come on now

Do the Rigamarole
Down the rabbit hole

The stars that sparkle 
In the night 
Fade away into day light
As morning heralds in 
A brand new day

DownTheRabbitHole

Lyrics:
Oh my days
When will we begin
To see that change
Has started
Started from within

The human race
Is so divided now
What will it take
To bring us
Bring us back to base

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

It never ends
The governments that war
Whereas the people 
Don't want it
Don't want it anymore

Who are they
To say that we should fight
Those powerful leaders
Betray us
Betray us day and night

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

The Future

Fantasy is a remarkable ability that allows us to imagine things that are not directly present in our environment. It allows us to develop new ideas, create alternative realities and put ourselves in the perspectives of other people or even other beings. Fantasy is often closely linked to creativity and drives innovation, art, literature, science and many other areas of human life. With our fantasy, we are able to approach problems in new ways, empathize with different situations and imagine what could be, rather than limiting ourselves to what already exists. Isn't that a wonderful gift?

The Scorpio

comin’ over
to my place tonight
dressed in clover
whets my appetite

i want to know
the afterglow

slide on over
i’ll take it at the light
black bulldozer
tailin’ us tonight

i feel the flow
the undertow

cold turkey
no way
i’ll get there
someday

now it’s over
turnin’ out the light
bruised all over
exiting stage right

i feel the flow
the vertigo
and now you know
the scorpio

Hallow (Instrumental)

If it were me, I’d ask you how your day has gone
If it were me, I’d listen as you carried on
And I would cherish all you say and do,
You’d tell me all your dreams,
I would make them all come true

And every day I’d tell you that you’re beautiful
Like how your eyes sparkle when you smile
And you should   know, for the first time in my life
 How I feel alive, and you were right here all the while
 
If it were me, you’re longing for

His love for you is fleeting and untrue
 A flash in the pan; he’ll soon disappear
And when you’re blue, i’ll be here for you
 Like I will be throughout the years
 
But it’s not me, I’m not the one your heart beats for
 Hard as I try, I’ll never be who you adore
And is that fair? Am I destined just to be
A friend that’s by your side
 While I keep it all inside?
‘cause it’s not me you’re longing for
A shoulder for your tears
A smile to ease  your fears
  That’s all I’ll ever be

if it were me

First song I am posting in 2024!

This is what I wrote in 2013 when I first thought about posting Nothing But (The Sound) but decided to take it down from the cloud short after. 

"Nothing But (The Sound)" is Plastic Inevitable's first song since 2011! Plastic Inevitable is Marty Procaccio, AKA Blankets, working the sound and Sneekie San Salvador tweaking the sound. The recording for this song began in 2011 in the bedroom recording studio of Marty in Santa Clara California using GarageBand and a whole bunch of pedals. The song was completed in 2013 with vocals recorded in Sneekie San Salvador's mobile Toyota recording unit.

Now it is 11 years later...

I am amazed that I found the vocal stems. I had to look though an old hard drive to find them. I did not feel like digging through more old hard drives for the original track stems. Big thanks to Russell for taking the time to mix the vocals and master the track. I told Russell, when I mixed the original instrumental I was listening to a lot of shitgaze bands at the time. 

May you find many gems when you dig into your past.

Lyrics: 

Chorus:
Sitting in my car
Windows rolled down
Feet out the window
Nothing but the sound
Of my favorite song

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment
Of happiness 

Chorus

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment

Chorus  

In this moment
There is an infinite 
Amount of things
Happening
In this moment
I have loved you
Infinitely 
Again and again
In this moment 
I am yours
Forever with me
My forever friend
In this moment 
I sing with you
Every song 
That was ever made

Once you catch the dinosaur, open a bar and sell romance and alcohol to customers! There is no doubt that it will prosper. But if you die from a dinosaur bite, you'll only get famous once in a newspaper article. Let's go and catch it! I guess it's fun just watching how things turn out.

Should I go or not? (294)
