SIMPLE HARMONIES (String Resonances)

This song is based on a guitar lick that I'm playing for many years. I never made a song with it, until now. 

All instruments and vocals played by me, except for the tenor sax, it's played by my brother Erik
I hope you like it!
----

Well you know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

Do we wait, for our fate to be determined for us
or can we steer ourselves in the direction that we want to go?

what is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret

Well  You know, that I know, that you know, what you want
and I know, that you know, that I want it too

What is it we’re waiting for?
What is it that we are waiting for?

Our deepest longings, 
Can slowly turn into regret
Let's not regret.

Regret

New York City 
And the Hudson wind
Like a hurricane breeze
Blowing over me again
The damage and goodbyes
Of all those years ago
Should’ve said hold on baby
But I let you slip and go

Now Vienna at dawn
Into the morning grey
Walking past all the moments
That remain along the way
Every cold street and square
Old pictures cling
But the city is a hunter
Chasing down everything

From the U-Bahn’s roar
To the High Line’s gleam
Two cities breathe at night
Pressed together in a dream
Driving brings me peace
Heavy traffic and convoys
And the echoes of you
Still make a joyful noise

Yeah the echoes of you
Still make a joyful noise
Yeah the echoes of you
Still make a joyful noise

Two Cities (with Joliz)

Dreams and fragments of memories of early winter morning walks. The frost turning to vapor as the sun bathes it in energy.

Frosty Sunrise

Notes of Love
Song composed as a gift (Christmas and New Year's gift) to my wife Anna.
In this song I inserted and harmonized two unsurpassed Gregorian chants:
the first, “Puer Natus in Bethleem”, from the century XIV, is published on page. 449 of the “Piccolo Liber Cantus”;
the second, “O Quam Amabilis”, is published on page 309 of the same collection of Gregorian chants.

"Puer natus in Bethleem, alleluia
 Unde gaudet Jerusalem, alleluia, alleluia
 In cordis jubilo Christum natum adoremus
 Cum novo cantico."

"O quam amabilis es, bone Jesu!
 Quam delectabilis es, pie Jesu!
 O cordis jubilum! Mentis solatium!
 O bone Jesu! O bone Jesu!"

Trapped within You

H. Stytz  (music,vocals,git.) beautifully arranged this song and Stytz Syndicate performed in an extraodinary way. I couldn´t be happier with the result !

The first day we had you were two hours late
Your smile said sorry  Babe for making me wait
Later on in the heat of the starry night
You did your best to put things riight...
You promise me heaven on earth
If I give you another chance

You waste our money buying everything you see
Your free and easy style is ruining me
Your eyes,your eyes said it won´t happen again
I feel so sorry....I give in ...

You promise me heaven on earth
If I give you another chance
You promise me.heaven on earth

I was going to leave you more than twice
You hold me back with that look in your eyes
Every time I decide to quit
You use the same old trick
Give me the same old line
You promise me
Heaven on earth....
If I give you another chance...you promise me...heaven on earth...

Heaven On Earth

This is an old instrumental that I recorded this evening.  The music was written after a family trip to the west coast. Our mini van died on the way up and we ended up renting a conversion van which made the trip even better really.  and as we drove we listened to a book on tape of the life of Sitting Bull,... as we drove through South Dakota.. through Montana... we drove through the Black hills at night.. and into the Scab Lands of Washington state.... We hit montana during the day and we were all struck by its beauty. We thought we could be happy in Helena..  Montana is known as " The Big Sky State  " and it is not an exaggeration. We were thinking of relocating to Washington State.. but it never happened.  
 Almost everyone i've ever met has a song. 
But tonight... tonight im sitting down.. recording. Playing.. a thing I really haven't done in a year. Ive got to get back in practice because on the 14th i'm going into the studio to record... my worst fear is to have a bunch of ragged recording of my songs to leave behind.... 

So this one.. tonight Montana Skies.. The words were written but never sung. I was always against recording and releasing instrumentals as it seemed harder to copyright instrumentals.. So the melody is... well.. under developed.... and raw. But the moment is documented. if nothing else its recorded however crudely . I can always revisit it.
The lyrics were never written till many years after the song was finished. This is the first time I remember recording it
I've shopped this music to many lyricists... they either stole the music or could not come up with anything for it.. Ha Ha...

it is what it is...

Next on the docket... a song called " all you need " it is a song about my old Italian Landlord Lena Leonardi... I will be dedicating it to all my beautiful new sound cloud friends in Italy !!  You guys know who you are .

Lyrics:

i'll put up lyrics later...as I have more id like to do..

Montana Skies

Verse 1
It starts with a glance across the room,
Your smile cuts through like a sweet perfume.
No matter how hard I try to stay away,
I’m drawn to you like a moth to a flame.

Your voice is a melody I can't ignore,
Every word leaves me wanting more.
You’ve got a way of pulling me in,
And here I go, falling again.

Chorus
I fall for you, every time,
Like the stars chasing the moon in the midnight sky.
No matter how far I try to run,
You’ve got my heart before the day is done.
It’s a losing game, but I can’t refuse,
Cause every time, I fall for you.

Verse 2
You’ve got a heart like a winding road,
I get lost in the love you’ve never shown.
I tell myself it’s the last time I’ll try,
But you light me up with just one smile.

You’re a wildfire I can’t contain,
A sweet addiction running through my veins.
I keep coming back, no matter the cost,
Cause with you, I’m found even when I’m lost.

Chorus
I fall for you, every time,
Like the rain falling down in the summertime.
No matter how far I try to run,
You’ve got my heart before the day is done.
It’s a losing game, but I can’t refuse,
Cause every time, I fall for you.

Bridge
I’ve built up my walls, I’ve tried to be strong,
But you tear them down like a love song.
I know the ending, I’ve read the book,
But every time you give me that look…

Final Chorus
I fall for you, every time,
Like the waves crashing on the shoreline.
No matter how far I try to run,
You’ve got my heart before the day is done.
It’s a battle I lose, but I love the fight,
Cause falling for you just feels so right.

Outro
I fall for you, like the morning dew,
Every time, it’s something new.
I know I’m lost, but it’s nothing new,
Cause every time, I fall for you.

I Fall for You (Every Time)

I believe the world is swinging from the start of history. It goes left and right. Today's winner may become a looser tomorrow. 

Written and performed by Kyo.

To the left, to the right,
the pendulum is swinging.
From a past that's so bright,
to a future slinging.

We don't know the reason why,
echoes of voices in fight.
Innovations push us up,
and they pull us down.

Ooo pendulum swings
Ooo see what it brings

One says live, another says die,
conflicts in their eyes.
One day laugh, next day sigh,
under the same skies.

We don't know the reason why,
voices echo but distracting.
Like distant stars ignoring 
and attracting.

Ooo pendulum swings
Ooo see what it brings

For the dance of butterflies, embracing liberal vibes,
The lion roars in guardian ways,
to keep the order of old tribes.

We don't know the reason why,
they hate each other.
But look at gravity a constant force,
an eternal orbital course.

Ooo pendulum swings
Ooo see what it brings

I was talking to Vinny Vaccarro today.. Apparently his boys are really into guitar now. They like to do riffs.. He says they dont much care about playing the whole song... just learning the riffs.. like the opening to Zepplin Black Dog and stuff like that..  I told him ... " you know, you can build a whole song around one really good riff.. or one spooky chord.. or one brilliant mistake ".

Thats how this song was born.. the opening chord is this funky twisted dissonant tripe chord with some spastic finger picking... it was as if I wasof I just discovered .. yeah..  And within this song lies the name of one of the bands I formed. " Ruddy Nickel ".. But the theme is a recurring one.. broke and pitiful.

And last but not least.. the title was spelled correctly ... BY ME.. for the first time ever.. that's because the recording engineer was a med student and had any number of $9 college words stashed in his formidable cranium. He used to really like my songs.. and then one day he said  " You know.. I figured out what it is you do "..  I only wish he would have let me in on it..

Lyrics: down there...

Down to my last Ruddy Nickel
Glad I don't smoke cigarettes
This mind could do with an empty space or two
this heavy head is throwing out my back

If times are hard
you better put that sign out in the yard
go all in with your poker grin 
and try again tomorrow
tides got to turn.. and good luck will shine on you

Those goodyear tires weren't the cheap ones
but they wont go a hundred grand
you cant just do, a Fred Astaire soft shoe
and move that line back in the sand

If times are hard
you better put that sign out in the yard
sell the shack and don’t look back 
try again tomorrow
tides got to turn.. and good luck will shine on you

congratulation and happy birthday
muzzle tuff and all of that good stuff
you know its always cause for celebration
when everyday your graduation

so get some sleep if you can manage
and dream about that moonlit bay
endless Hors D’oeuvres and drinks to calm your nerves
Sunday morning cocktails on the beach

If times are hard
you better put that sign out in the yard
dont be sad for what you had
try again tomorrow
tides got to turn.. and good luck will shine on you

Endless Hors D'oeuvres (Take 4)

(Verse 1)
Well, I’ve seen men try to wrestle with the bottle,
Thinking they can beat it with a fight.
And I’ve watched hearts break beneath the shadow,
Of dreams they couldn’t make right.
You can’t lasso pain, can’t tie it to a post,
It’ll buck you till you fall.
So face your fears like a man in the mirror,
Before you come at it all.

(Chorus)
Tackle your demons, leave the cowboy alone,
He’s riding through his troubles on a path of his own.
It’s a wild, wild world, where the storms never cease,
Tame the war in your heart if you’re searchin’ for peace.

(Verse 2)
There’s a fight in every man who’s ever wandered,
A ghost that he carries deep inside.
And a cowboy’s just a drifter in the saddle,
Running hard from the truth he’s denied.
But your demons, they’ll haunt you, won’t let you sleep,
Till you stand tall and lay ‘em down.
You can’t outgun what’s under your skin,
It’ll chase you to the edge of town.

(Chorus)
Tackle your demons, leave the cowboy alone,
He’s got his own battles riding through the unknown.
It’s a dusty trail, and the fight’s never fair,
But you can’t break the wind with your fist in the air.

(Bridge)
You can’t ride forever without facing the fall,
The harder you run, the louder they’ll call.
And when you’re down in the dirt, and you’ve nowhere to go,
The only fight left is the one in your soul.

(Chorus)
Tackle your demons, leave the cowboy to roam,
He’s chasing his shadows, out there on his own.
Fix the cracks in your heart, find the strength in your name,
Before you saddle up blame and play the same game.

(Outro)
So grab that rope, and wrestle your pain,
Don’t be the fool who points out the rain.
The cowboy’s a mirror, and the truth is this:
The hardest battle’s one you can’t resist.

Tackle Your Demons, Not a Cowboy

(Verse 1)
Out here on this backwoods, starlit night,
I’ve got a jar of lightning, glowin’ just right.
It’s a homemade magic, a hillbilly spark,
Keeps the fire burnin’ when life gets dark.
They say there’s a genie inside that shine,
Grantin’ wishes one sip at a time.

(Pre-Chorus)
So I tip it back and close my eyes,
Hopin’ for answers in that southern sky.

(Chorus)
Grant me a wish for another moonshine jar,
Keep this feelin’ flowin’ ‘neath the midnight stars.
Grant me a wish so I don’t hit the bar,
Got all I need sittin’ right in this yard.
Grant me a wish for my heart’s a rage,
Set me free like a bird outta a cage.
And grant me a wish I don’t end up in a ditch,
Keep this old truck steady when life starts to slip.

(Verse 2)
This jar’s seen tears and a laugh or two,
Been my companion through and through.
When the world gets heavy and the nights get long,
This shine’s my rhythm, my backroad song.
But even magic’s got a price to pay,
So I’m wishin’ on this jar to keep me safe today.

(Pre-Chorus)
The road gets rough, but I’ll hold on tight,
Prayin’ this genie’s got my back tonight.

(Chorus)
Grant me a wish for another moonshine jar,
Light my way when the world feels far.
Grant me a wish so I don’t need the bar,
Let this homemade spirit heal my scars.
Grant me a wish for my heart’s a rage,
Calm the storm, let me turn the page.
And grant me a wish I don’t end up in a ditch,
Keep my wheels on the road, don’t let me switch.

(Bridge)
One last sip and I’ll make my plea,
Let this shine set my wild soul free.
Keep me grounded, keep me true,
Genie in the jar, I’m countin’ on you.

(Chorus)
Grant me a wish for another moonshine jar,
Keep this rebel heart burnin’ like a southern star.
Grant me a wish so I don’t hit the bar,
Got this mason full of dreams and it’ll take me far.
Grant me a wish for my heart’s a rage,
Turn this life of mine to a brand-new stage.
And grant me a wish I don’t end up in a ditch,
Keep me rollin’ steady when life starts to itch.

(Outro)
So here’s to the genie in the moonshine jar,
Grantin’ wishes from a porch swing guitar.
May your light keep glowin’ in the darkest nights,
Guidin’ this soul ‘til the mornin’ light.

Genie in the Moonshine Jar

Lyrics:
In the quiet of the night, I’ll whisper low,
Shining the light where the dark waters flow,
Yet the train of lies rolls heavy and fast,
A silver-tongued serpent, weaving shadows that last.


Criminals dancing in pockets of gold
While justice is tangled, bought and sold
The bribes keep rolling like thunder in the sky
As the truth fades away, who’s to justify


Time’s a thief with a grin, ticking down our days
Marching to the walls where the light starts to sway
When will we see justice? Maybe never, it seems
In this cruel reality, we’re lost in our dreams



Life feels unfair, like a game stacked in jest
Some ride on the fast train, while others are stressed
Evil lurks in corners, a predator unseen
Swallowing whole what’s been, what could have been



A trail of destruction where innocence once lay
The end is coming near, cloaked in shadows of gray
Yet I’ll keep singing, my heart beats the truth
In a world that’s forgotten the brightness of youth



So let’s shine a light in the depths of despair
Fight for the voiceless, show them we care
Together we'll gather, a chorus to rise
For in the heart of the darkness, we’ll ignite the skies



So let the shadows tremble, let them break and bend
With love as our weapon, we’ll rise in the end
Though the night feels endless, our spirits won’t hide
Together we’ll shine, and become the light
