Kick back and Relax

Roast Dinner Drive

Ladat’s Support July’23 vol.1

“To catch lightning in a bottle” means to accomplish a nearly impossible task. Originally, a 19th century reference to Benjamin Franklin’s kite experiment, capturing electricity from lightning with a kite and storing it in a jar.
From a baby’s first steps to travelling into space, every day humans achieve the seemingly impossible.
The song represents the enormous challenges that we face in today’s world. It may seem impossible, it may be unlikely... but maybe we can do the impossible and solve our world issues.
Featuring James Hill (trumpet)

To Catch Lightning In A Bottle

To Catch Lightning In A Bottle (feat. James Hill/trumpet)

A hypnotic, funky composition full of smooth, fine wine vocals, engaging lyrics, harmonic chorus and metro cool beats, bass and dreamy instrumentals. 'Turning Me Upside Down' immerses the listener in a surreal sea of weightlessness as you float through the entire piece to its finish,  finally waking up from this very cool experience. It wafts on a summer breeze,  reminiscent of beach holidays.

Turning Me Upside Down

After listening to "Your cheating ways" by the Marvelettes, i  was wondering how such  a sad topic  could sound so happy. That's how the track "Rules of the game"  was born.  
The idea came up to imagine what they could have sing before, when the pain was so fresh. The concept of love being an unfair game nobody knows the rules made sense then.

Lofi - Key Chill EP

Allow me to introduce you to a very special music single that holds a deep significance in my heart. This track delves into the intimate moments that touch the very core of my being. Inspired by the beauty found in every ordinary morning, it captures the magic of a timeless routine, faithfully repeated day after day.

Regardless of the day that lies ahead, there is one moment that I hold dear. It's that precious instance when she awakens from her slumber, her half-sleepy steps leading her to the bathroom, where she gradually comes alive under the gentle embrace of the shower. This is followed by a leisurely breakfast, setting the pace for the day's responsibilities.

In this precise moment, in these comforting habits, lies the essence of my inspiration. And now, with great excitement, I present to you a soft rock track with heartfelt Czech lyrics, accompanied by the captivating and catchy backing vocals of Maja Štebih. 

Join me on this musical journey as we celebrate the beauty of everyday rituals and the emotions they evoke. Let the melodies carry you away, and may this single resonate with your own experiences and memories.

Po ránu

The story of William Guise, who in 1651 was executed without trial by royalists after the Battle of Worcester. He was a local tailor who supported Oliver Cromwell (i.e. anti-monarchy). He spied on Charles II and his cavaliers discussing battle plans, then told Cromwell, leading to the King's defeat and England's only period as a republic. But the royalists hanged him before Cromwell could take control of the city. They made a death mask of his head and embedded it in a wall as a warning to royalist traitors. It is still there today, and is the cover image for this song.

Lyrics:
i heard the call 
the summon to the hall in the commandery
it's a good job that i did
i heard it all 
the reckless few, the fearing of the many 
though they kept their true thoughts hid

but if they'd said what's in their head
i doubt that history would change
but maybe some things would

armour-clad 
a camisado, fifteen hundred royal men to hit the rebel camp
i was glad 
i think i had always suspected i would upon history leave my stamp

i'd heard my fill 
up to redhill i ran and did the only thing
i'd do it all again
the king's men struck, but with no luck
the rebels knew to be prepared and drove them whence they came

face on a wall 
i didn't mean to wreck it all
the dreams we had of children playing and never saying no

i kind of knew 
that short of you no one would understand me
not the people roundabout
and that was true 
as i came to our home again they grabbed me
and they crowned me with a shroud

still on my feet 
down to broad street they bundled me and strung me up, a symbol on a pole
for those who might 
one autumn night
defy the herd and speak what they believe, not what they're told
and so my name was cast in shame
how can they call it treachery if to yourself you're true

face on a wall 
i didn't mean to wreck it all
the dreams we had of children playing and never saying no
face on a wall 
i guess i heard the rebel call
and if our children hear it too please never tell them no
just let them go

Face On A Wall

Asher's "A Tribute to Israel" is a medley that combines three well-known Israeli melodies: Yerushalayim Shel Zahav, Raid on Antebbe, and Hatikvah (the Israeli national anthem). The medley begins with a slow tempo and employs simple harmonies to create a solemn and reverential mood. Throughout the piece, a simple and expressive melody is repeated, and various techniques such as chromaticism, syncopated rhythms, and orchestration are used to add interest and variation.

One interesting aspect of "A Tribute to Israel" is the influence of Naomi Shemer's "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" on the composition. This song, written in 1967 to celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War, has become an iconic Israeli song, with its melody based on an old Hassidic tune and its lyrics expressing a love and longing for Jerusalem.

In "A Tribute to Israel," Asher pays tribute to Shemer's contribution to Israeli music by incorporating a variation of the melody from "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" in the first part of the medley. This use of the melody highlights the song's significance in Israeli culture and music and demonstrates the impact that Shemer had on Israeli music. The melody is played with reverence and a slower tempo, contributing to the overall solemnity of the piece.

In conclusion, "A Tribute to Israel" is a moving medley that combines iconic Israeli melodies, including a variation of "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav." This tribute to Naomi Shemer and her contribution to Israeli music demonstrates the importance of this song in Israeli culture and music and honors its enduring impact.

Make Friends

My name is Dom Reynolds and I'm a song-smith, musician, audio-engineer, actor and educator.

I am currently writing and recording with Belgium-born musician Jozef Birling. Having played together formerly in a group called Infra Red during the late ‘noughties’, we reconvened in the 2020s by jamming and then preparing a set of covers for live street performance.  Once we discovered that we have similar musical and artistic tastes, and that our original songs fitted well together, we created an album of newly-penned songs in an eclectic but rootsy style. The album is entitled Change the Plan, and is available for streaming or for purchase at domreynolds.com and Bandcamp.  Our next album, Roast Dinner Drive, came out in the summer of 2023. 

Excitingly, we also have an exciting new album in preparation -with a working title Love and Pain.
