missed this one somehow;  this is so good --it's full of guitar candy and the way the vocals come in is so indelibly Celtic and dramatic; really nice one Davy!!!

Nice guitar, gutsy and melodic 👍😊🙏🏾🌈

powerful message on this one. real thought provoker and guitar

That is some lovely guitar tone 🎸🎸🎸

Monday Playlist week of 8/14/2023

Here’s a Journey into sound...The Original track was made with Korg Gadget then I used Ableton Live for the remix. Starts off in LoFi to get the full effect but as it advances into the mix it expands into stereo. Enjoy fam!

Not sure where these song ideas often come from? Music, Lyrics or both?Sometimes hard to create and other times they just run over me like a Steam Roller. Anyway, musings of someone just 'Letting Go'. Who knows? Vocals, guitars, all instruments and production by Riff Beach via RiffWerx Records - 3B Productions.
Letting Go ©
Riff Beach - Original
RiffWerx - 2022
I’m basking in Nothingness
I’m pushing through time and space
Not sure where I’m going
Not sure of my place
Such self importance
It’s merely contrived
One day we‘ll wake up
Wondering how we survived
With love in my heart
And a most confused mind
It tears me apart
To feel so unkind
So steady my path, Lord
Tame all my dreams
Show me the way 
To untwist my schemes
May I become better
In all I pursue
For I mean no harm
I simply love you

Artax rides again

No title for this one yet,so all suggestions welcome.

Careless and immortal
Time goes drifting by
Turning full circle
No time to say goodbye

I foolishly imagined
We'd go on and on
I never knew what we had
'Til it was gone

Behold the gift of hindsight
If only we had known
Contempt for our birthright
Trouble is homegrown

I foolishly imagined
We'd go on and on
I never knew what we had
'Til it was gone

Synced Circuitry

Jeremy J. Saks - Synced Circuitry

My first own composition with designed vocals.
I'm a total amateur so sorry for all the bad parts.

Special thanks goes to my all testdrivers and especially to @r-u-r-pl for his all advices and for a breakthrough that I made on this one after 1,5 month of no bloody idea.

Lyrics was generated by freshbots.org algorythms and a bit changed to my vision. English is not my first language of use so if something doesn't make sense then blame my (non)understanding. It was more like fun making. An artistic way to express for "better" listening.

Main sense was about kind of sick, crazy love, unrequited that drive us to the edge of sense of good and evil. This is the kind of love with our suffering that hurts us and others. And when we can't balance the feeling we go over the edge. And all around must go with us. Especially the ONE.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

In the haze of dusk, you stumble, lost and weary
Can't see the light, but you feel my eyes nearly
Run from me, I'm always behind, you will see
I hide between shadows, just trust your plea

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, guard your beating soul
In the depths of darkness, I'll take my toll

Chorus:

Run like hell, can't you hear the alarms?
My presence lurking, causing you harm
Stay in the light, where safety resides
Don't let my darkness become a guide

Verse 2:

Memories fading, just a jumble in your mind
But in your heart, I'll leave my mark undefined
I'll weave in your thoughts, my dagger in your back
Your pumping heart, my trophy from this track

Pre-Chorus:

Keep your chest safe, there's danger in my stare
For I am the creeping nightmare, you're unaware

Chorus:

Run like hell, don't let my shadow prevail
For I won't cease until I unveil
Stay in the light, where truth can’t be shown
Escape the grips of darkness, stand on your own

Bridge:

In the whispers of the night, my whispers so cold
But remember, dear one, you're brave and bold
Though I am relentless, you still have a chance
To break free from my grip and reclaim your stance

Reclaim your stance
To break free
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance
You still have a chance!

Chorus:

So run like hell, leave my echoes behind
In the face of fear, your strength, you'll find
I am the shadow, fading into the night. 
I can see your defiance, will you take the fight?
Run like hell, don't let me get near.
My spirit is the dark. You will always live in fear!

Fun fact:
When I've tried to sing this for a few first sessions, verse "For I am the creeping nightmare, you're (...)" sounds mostly ...different... Constant changing the sentence "unaware" into "underwear" makes me not finished the performance because of permanent laughs on myself. Hope I would never have to sing this on live session because my "professional" sense will never let me skip the mistake unnoticed.

I composed this song with my boyfriend's brother Carlos Bergmann! but in reality we didn't compose with much equipment! We only use a 16 channel console, also a synthesizer, electronic drums and finally an electric guitar! The list of instruments are as follows! synth melodic Yamaha dx7 ! Fender Stratocaster electric guitar Alesis HR-16 electronic percussion! just this and nothing more! In fact we recorded everything outside of my boyfriend's studio! It was a great experience. I dedicated myself to playing the electric guitar, which almost sounds like an electric bass. In fact, I don't understand anything about guitars, but well, ultimately this came out and it was a great experience sharing compositions with my boyfriend's brother!

Božena Jurkovic  & NN & Johann Friedhof Bs.as  -Alegorija  Session 1

Ride On - Tom and the Cats

Not much time these days for "producing". I grabbed my trusty old Zoom H-1, did one take and added drums & bass. Now I'm free!


Gold Heart 2024 (James Eoppolo)

She let the gold heart fall from her slender right hand
Walked away never did see it land
Broken off the chain, like she's broken free
Well worth the gamble with no guarantee

The din from the traffic seemed to mock him in shame
Again and again as he shouted her name
How It all fell to pieces consider the source
The calmest of rivers in time will change course

Hanging in the balance the best laid plans
For each one that falters, another one stands

Counts herself lucky that she finally awoke
Located the exit despite all of the smoke
Shedding the skin of the last empty years
Leaving behind her no trail of tears

He watched as she vanished deep into the crowd
Stronger alone as she always avowed
Shadows grow heavy suffocating the pride
Of this fool on the edge of a steep downward slide

In the stillness she's pleased to hear her own voice 
Not for a moment doubting her choice
Content not to hurry to fill empty space
With the sun in her eyes the sun on her face

A tap of his finger the ashtray's now filled
There on the table where the whiskey was spilled
No point pretending his guilt was complete
When he saw the gold heart fall into the street

Gold Heart

in a garden
she is gazing
at an apple

she is naked
doesn’t realize
and she wonders

in the sun
asking:

“Listen honey,
would you like some
just between us?”

perilous
picnic

she don’t worry 
she can take the heat
Mother Courage
ends up in the street

east of eden
she is toiling
for her children

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

fearless love
wisdom
mama’s love
wisdom

Awakening

Come As You Are

Lyle Lovette- four Grammy awards.  It is kinda hard to put him in any particular category  Such a great singer, songwriter and performer.  I got to see him a few years ago.  I love his music along with his pals John Hiatt and Guy Clark.

In My Own Mind

I made an improvised performance in the image of the TV drama “The Fugitive” that I was crazy about in the 1960s

The Fugitive

No one can Challenge Sir Pauls voice but love the song. A tribute to my idols . These days I record mostly originals but found this in my library and thought I'd share .

And I Love Her (The Beatles) COPY

Love country, folk, rock, gospel, blues and 60's style rock/pop music. I also post a Monday Playlist each week. My main page is Tony's Lyrics https://soundcloud.com/tonyslyrics

Second album of 10 songs 'Looking Up',available from bandcamp,Spotify and the rest.

https://vancemagill.bandcamp.com/album/look-up

First album of songs. 'Flying Solo'.
https://vancemagill.bandcamp.com/album/flying-solo

And on Spotify
https://open.spotify.com/album/4BOvUv16dOl6cgcWANX1Dz
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.  :)

Follow on Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/album/4BOvUv16dOl6cgcWANX1Dz
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.
