---------------

I heard this story a long time ago
i heard it before, and now i am long gone

I faced my demons and now i'm back strong
not headstrong, at some point i was wrong

butterfingers, we lost control
we slipped away and run away

i cross my fingers, we won't mess it up 
again this time, i hope you'll be fine

you were so sloppy and gave it up
i hope you remember, that i was your crutch

next thing you know, was to lose control
and now you crawl, to save your soul

Nick Drake - Place to Be

Guitar and vocals by Stefano Manotti 

When I discovered Nick Drake's music, I immediately felt richer as a musician and less alone as a person. An artist who delved into the depths of human emotions, unafraid, driven solely by the need to express himself.The eternal beauty that he created will endure for centuries. I wanted to pay tribute to him with his masterpiece, in the fingerpicked version he recorded as a demo.
 

When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I'm older, see it face to face
And now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place

And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grow and the sun shone still
Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be

And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you

Place To Be (Nick Drake Home Recording Version Cover)

track inspired by the movie Event Horizon

Plus Vite, Plus Loin, Plus Rien (Faster, Further, Nothing) (より速く、より遠く、何もない)

The Voices

A short improvised tune played by me with my old loyal companion Korg SGProX digital stage piano as a master keyboard, using an old lovely retro style Grand Piano sound from Keyscape (Yamaha C7, preset "Vinyl"). (Edited the track a little bit on Sunday, November 12, 2023; e.g. changed the last note:)

This song is dedicated to the one who knows it.

I know this is a short one but I'm not a trained jazzer and it has practically taken all my life to get to this point in playing (I'm still learning every day:). If I had to name a few sources of inspiration here, I would first name Mr. Erroll Garner; I would also name Mr. Robbie Buchanan, who's fantastic, memorable and genius playing, compositions and arrangements I have listened to (knowingly or unbeknownst) practically all my life and keep listening today. A song that especially inspired me to make this track is "Somebody in Your Life" by Diane Warren and Robbie Buchanan and the incredible complex chords and progressions present in that song. Later Mr. Luis Miguel made a spectacular version of that song ("Alguien Como Tú"). Third, I would also mention as a source of inspiration the memorable music of the late honorable composer and pianist, Mr. Juan Carlos Calderón. And of course, the music of Mr. Bill Evans is always inspiring me.

Cast of Characters:

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen–acoustic and electric guitars, mix, and production

J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell –piano, synth, composition, vocals, and lyrics

K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums and percussion

Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–electric guitar

Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass and lap slide

  This song began its life as a composition that JJ wrote one evening on the piano and synth. He also wrote the lyrics and sings this one. He was very excited to share it with us, so he invited Josh, Ken, Stephen and Tez into the project immediately after finishing. However, we couldn't make the thing work at first, so JJ went back and retooled it, streamlined it, and gave it back to us. We all really liked the Floydiness of the groove, and his signature psychedelic coda ending. 
  After Ken had laid down his inspired, foundational  drums, Josh laid down his bass part with his big monster five-string bass, which is good for really low tones. Then it was Tez's turn. He came up with something very Gilmore-esque, with his always exciting leads throughout the first section. Stephen then added some brilliant, filling acoustic guitar to the first section. He, along with Tez, also added some trippy electric guitar to the coda. Finally, Josh just thought it needed something to push the coda over the edge, so he added the slide at the end, too.
  Then, of course, we asked Stephen to produce and mix it for us, which he did in his always expert way. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it. Also, we wish a very happy holidays to everyone! 

JJ's lyrics:

PUSHED AND PULLED AND SWUNG THE CLEAVER
MY TIME IT RAN AWAY.

FOOLISH HEART AND SOME DECEIVIN’
DIE TRYIN’ TO STAY AFRAID

DESERT CHILL IS WHERE IM SLEEPIN’
HARD NIGHT TURNED INTO DAYS

BETTER GO AND FEED THIS FEVER
TWICE BLINDED BY THIS FAITH



SHOULD’VE KNOWN WHILST IN THE SEASON
BEHIND BLIND BRAVEITY

TRUTH COMES HOME TO ROOST THE RAVEN
FIVE STEINS MADE OF JADE

TREASURED HILL THE SUNS RETREATIN’
CARD PLAYED YOUR HANDS AN ACE

LET IT GO THIS BIRD IS DREAMIN’
DICE LANDED AT THE TRAIN



COULD’VE SHOWN MY HEART’S REATREATIN’
BLIND SIDED BY THE SEA

PLEASURED TONE OF THE BALLADEER
FIND A HIGH AND LONELEY PLACE

SEED IS SOWN THIS HEART’S STILL BEATIN’
FIVE LIONS IN THE DEN

GETTIN’ COLD THE BEAST IS LEAVING
SOUTH

I've been pretty sick lately, so due to a lack of inspiration for anything new, this is another one dragged out of the archives and brought into 2024.
Thought it would be nice to have some guitar added too, so my trusty friend Ibnu Hadi D came up with the goods once again 😊
Always a pleasure working with him!

You Know Me Better

You Know Me Better (Remix) feat. Ibnu Hadi D

Some information about this track’s processing: it was processed with “ The Pulsar Echorec” VST, so it should sound more analog. the Echorec disk involving magnetic saturation and hysteresis…I wanted a warped warm sound so there will be areas on the track where there are dropouts coloring and artifacts. I love the way it adds grit musically. It’s basically an old fashion tape machine. In other word, it dirties up the track, and adds character…I love it!
I’m not paid or endorsed by Pulsar.

And this be song six (and also the title track) for my upcoming album. This one was originally finished on 12/04/2023. I have just one more left to share that was finished last year, and two finished early this year... and the final song for the album is in the works as we speak. 

I'll try to keep to these Friday releases (almost missed it tonight though. haha). So whilst you wait patiently for the others, I offer you 'What Color Is Your Paradox'. :)

Paradox?

What Color Is Your Paradox?

Haunted Memories (Richsoundz, John Stone)

Performed & Produced by John Stone
Music John Stone
Lyrics Richsoundz, John Stone


All my thoughts, they're still bearing traces
Your face  imprinted deep upon my mind
And your melodic, lilting voice
Like I ain't really got no choice
They're staying here inside me for all time

Even when I lay me down to sleep
You're stalking all my dreams
I  can't leave you behind
Everywhere I  see the signs
You're always present and won't let me be
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories

All my thoughts past events they're chasing
With you beside me everywhere I go
Your perfume always trailing me
And everywhere your face I see
There’s nowhere I can go that you don’t show

Even when…


I never saw it come to this:
What started with a simple kiss
Then love grew and we thought we knew
That life was long if love was true
But that was never meant to be 
When fate took you away from me
Till death us part our sacred vow 
But though you’re gone I see you now

Your spirit  follows  me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit follows me
Through the halls of haunted memories 
Your spirit …
