Excellent Davy. It‘s great that Amanda stepped in.Love each 60 minutes 😀🎸🎶🍾❤️

great song, well worth two minutes of my time

Nice one Davy. You have a Neil Young quality which I dig. I like the husky female vocal as well. 

love this,super nice... real nice harmony.

very clever story and very tasty playing !

Running out of booze, singing the bluez :D

Voice of the nation

I always wanted to make a sonic companion to the last song Bitzone, Frawstakwa, and I made together, “What Difference Does It Make.” I finally got my chance. This one came together real fast. Bitzone sent me a raw beat, I asked Frawstakwa to kick it off, and then I made some arrangement adjustments and laid down my lyrics and vocals based on Frawstakwa’s. Bitzone then finished it up and bada-boom, gotta move, gotta shake!

Massive thanks to Frawstakwa for bringing the fresh ideas and original verse and chorus vocals. And big thanks to Bitzone for always make the tracks more vivid than I could imagine. 

May there always be at least a little time to bounce in your week!

Intro: Louis Bloomfield

Lyrics: 

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce 

Here we are
Coming through
With whatever it takes
Full force
On these fools
All up in your face 
Show and prove
Break it down
To the drum 
And the bass
That good old
One two
Gotta move 
Gotta shake
Bada-boom
Something 
That you can feel
But wait
If you could feel 
Anything at all
Feeling great
Letting it flow
Mind body and soul
On my way
That’s how it goes
So the people them know
See you later

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce 

I’m just your everyday reverie of an emcee
You see
I’m but a memory of the way 
You say it be
On this beat 
You project the street 
On the hit of the kick 
The click 
Boom, respect it’s the fire of the heat 
It’s the sweat dripping from the meat 
You expect flowing from that bass 
That slow tempo that’s got you feeling 
You on the creep, you on the chase
Brace fo the bounce putting you in the some headspace 
Race everyone to hear every ounce so tie up yo shoelace 
And let’s go 
Yo, lettin’ the people know

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce

The flow is
Summoned 
On command
Dig deep
Within 
Without a plan
Improvise
And
Ka-blam 
That is called conviction
Can you understand
The definition
What is your religion?
Damn
It takes blind faith
To hope that one can trust
In what is true 
What is real
For real
So what it do?
We are here to
Be seen
Be heard
Be who
We truly are 
Hold up then
Please
Tell us
Who are you?
 
Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce 

I got the feeling the bounce is appealing
Now that the ceiling’s been breaked
We got the unwilling to denounce appearing 
How it is that they never been waked 
Allow the revealing of the fake
Watch out we congealing as we get baked 
Take out that sponge cake, make no mistake 
It got that spring, there’s no remake 
Can feel the earth quake 
The beat is shaking
The bass is rumbling
So deep you feel your belly ache 
What’s at stake 
You gotta know
It’s that flow state 
We on a roll 
So slap on the butter baby
We gravy 
Grab a plate and
Before you go

Bounce
Bounce
To the boogie
The bang
The beat
Box
About
To bring it back
The breakdown
For the block
For my people
I see you
Gimme a pound
Tell me how
Have you been
For now
The breakdown
I’m here for you
Hear me loud 
And clear
We are responsible
For where we’re 
Bound
The breakdown
Heading out
Gotta beat the crowds
To get home
Put my feet up
While I eat on the couch
The breakdown

Hold up
Lemme tell you
What I’m talking about
To the beat
With a breakdown
That can make you bounce

UNREST IN THE GALAXY

Special thanks to Ashesndreams for her acappella

Lyrics :
Baby no me pidas que me aparte
Yo ya te he buscado en todas partes
Solamente vengo a recordarte que estoy
Imaginandote
Una y otra vez
Que tu estas aqui conmigo
Acariciandome
No seas timido
Dejate querer
Que si dudas te prometo
Que vas a volver

No tengo miedo
Soy un kamikaze
Mi imaginacion se prende con lo que me haces
Diario yo te pienso
Te tengo en mis suenos
Eres el motor para escribir todos mis versos
No te voy a mentir te quiero todo pa mi

IMAGINANDOTE. 🎧.  feat  Ashesndreams

街灯 / street light
===================
どうか
想い届けと　風をあつめて
祈る　ゆびさき

どこか
帰る場所など　有るが如くの
急ぐ　あしおと

命があるか　ないかの
二色で塗られた景色だけ
吹き荒れて　佇んで
暗闇ですら　ない

自分のような　何かが
自分の姿で演じてる　そして
泣きぬれて　狼狽えて
こっちを覗いてる

ひとり
灯る街灯に　寒くないかと
憂う　ゆうぐれ

いつか
閉じる扉など　有るが如くの
急ぐ　ひとなみ

命があるか　ないかの
二色で塗られた景色だけ
吹き荒れて　佇んで
暗闇ですら　ない

自分のような　愚かな
自分の姿を忘れてる者が
泣きぬれて　狼狽えて
こっちを覗いてる

街灯 / street light

Love is nothing from above
it's only for a few
And you can't take it with you

Fear is nothing but a coward
That never had to walk alone
Under this rain shower

Love becomes tomorrow's sorrow
Nothing you can win
No time that you can borrow

Hope, what are we looking for?
Looking at the world around
Without an open door

Peace, the world will never see
No one can see eye to eye
Including you and me

Tomorrow's Sorrow

"FUNNY DAYS" EP MEDLEY TEASER (see description for links)

After completing the song, I found a noticeable spread between the highest & lowest notes.  So I had a hard time with the vocals.  I could have altered the notes to fit the voice but in the end I decided to go with the original.  Please bear with my singing.

The lyrics is extracted from a lengthy poem I came across on the web.
In the end, perhaps the plot doesn't make much sense anyway.  So let's assume it's just for the sake of making a song.   See what you think.

Thanks much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
The memory of you emerges from the night around me
The river mingles its stubborn lament with the sea

In you the wars and the flights accumulated
From you the wings of the song birds rose

Cold flower heads are raining over my heart
I made the wall of shadow draw back,
Beyond desire I walked on

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

The happy hour of assault and the kiss
and spell that blazed like a lighthouse
I raise my song to you

I don't know how you could contain me
in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank

.... Solo break....

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank
Ah haaaa

ANOTHER DAY IS OVER
A SIMPLE DAY ALL OVER
SO DEEP IN THE NIGHT, I WISH TO STAY

I'M WAITING FOR A NEW DAY
LIKE YESTERDAY A NEW WAY
THE DAY WAS SO BRIGHT, WHEN I HEAR YOU SAY

I LOVE YOU LIKE YESTERDAY
I WAS FALLING EVERYDAY
I COULD STAY, LIKE YESTERDAY

SEVEN DAYS I LOVED YOU
AND SEVEN NIGHTS I WANT YOU
I DREAM IN THE NIGHT, WHEN I FIRST MET YOU
(break)
DAY BY DAY I'M FALLING
AND EVERYDAY KEEP WALKING
THE DAY WAS SO BRIGHT, WHEN I'D HEAR YOU SAY

I LOVE YOU LIKE YESTERDAY
I WAS FALLING EVERYDAY
I COULD STAY, LIKE YESTERDAY

LIKE YESTERDAY

HIT BY A TRAIN

Initially this track was written more than 6 months ago as an exercise to complete a song no longer than 60 seconds. When it was finished,I had a notion of fleshing it out for another minute or so, to continue the story and perhaps bring a conclusion.

Amanda very kindly stepped up to sing in the second half of the song,even though life was attempting to get in the way of plans! Much obliged Amanda,without your input the song would have stayed at 60 seconds.

You can find Amanda's music here...https://soundcloud.com/phoebeelena/tracks

The first time I saw you
You were nursing an empty glass
With a faraway look in your eyes
I almost walked away
And let the moment pass
But then you spoke and much to my surprise

You said...
May I take up a minute 
Of your time?
Does your glass need something in it
Just like mine?
Does your heart have room in it
Can I ever hope to win it
May I take up a minute
Of your time

2nd part - female vocal.

The first time I saw you
I was nursing an empty glass
A symbol of my feelings on the day
You glanced,then turned to go
I knew I'd best act fast
That's when I heard myself say..

May I take up a minute 
Of your time?
Does your glass need something in it
Just like mine?
Does your heart have room in it
Can I ever hope to win it
May I take up a minute
Of your time

Project 1 Minute part 2 feat Amanda Sanderson

Time and memorys are strange things ..sometimes a moment or idea is there and then lost in a flash ..
Seems like we are also living in strange and uncertain times in a world 
where governments and so called leaders have failed us and no one can
be trusted ,a world where your data and identity can be sold and put under the hammer..maybe its time to stand up and leave the stage as we didnt ask for this to happen it just did 
this is the next track to be taken from my latest album the memory museum out on i-tunes and Spotify and amazon 
You can watch a music video for the track on the Jim Manser you-tube channel 
dont forget to stand up for what you still believe in..
written and recorded by Jim Manser 2019 [a nu-clear records production]

When The Whole World Leaves The Stage[taken from the new album the memory museum out now]

This is my first solo venture. It's an album of ten songs and it can be downloaded  from bandcamp free,or for whatever you deem it worth. I'd be happy if you just take a copy and listen to my musical ramblings. 
Thanks to all who take the time.  :)

A while back I viewed s/c as merely a hosting platform for posting on forums,but then I realised there was access to so many wonderful compositions by other folk,it then became my prime source of listening to music.
This little corner of the internet is actually a thriving musical community where nobodies such as myself can share songs with the great and the good.
All that just has to be positive and welcome.
Thanks to all who listen and comment,be assured I will return the favour,as I love finding new artists. Please don't follow me if you are going to unfollow,I only wish to listen and share music,I am not a follower collector.


Songs are a mix of solo work with all instruments played by myself,plus my own world weary vocals! I tend to favour my home made Telecasters and a Strat,though the odd acoustic makes an appearance. I use Logic Pro X and am a recent convert to DAW.

I play and write for the joy of expression and always with the hope my songs may be a positive force to anyone who takes time to listen. I'm an old boy now,so I harbour no dreams of success in the conventional sense,having the odd comment is just fine for me. Thanks to all who bother.

 Also earlier songs from a project in 2015, with Fiona and Martin Magill,Vocals and keys. Martin is a very talented working keyboard player,but sadly Fiona no longer sings. Our loss.
Lastly there are tracks from late 80s/early 90s from SOS,a band I was in back then.
