Hi guys, really proud today introducing a very fruitful collab with my friend Dirk Taubenheim from The Gatsbys. This song means a lot to me, as this is my very first song I partly wrote almost 15 years ago. I only finished music and arrangement last year, and considering the great welcome this song had from you all, I decided to carry on the work and write lyrics. 
Once it was finished, I offered Dirk to sing it, as I always thought he had the admirable rocky voice this song deserved. He accepted straight away to sing it, which was an honor for me considering his prolific songwriting career. If you don't know him yet, you definitely have to visit his SC page : https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and best wishes to you all.

Boulimique de Musique
"The American band delivers a funk-infused rock song on a track as atmospheric as it is gently catchy. The male vocals, packed with attitude, deliver a fearsomely catchy chorus and colorful lyrics. The slightly psychedelic ambience amplifies the exploratory touch of this track full of twists and turns."

Poppy Bristow (Fresh on the Net)
"Psychedelic-indie trio Girl for Samson may hail from Kansas City, but press play on Cigarette and its funky bass, baggy-beat percussion, and Inspiral Carpets organ accents will fire you straight through a wormhole to 90s Manchester or Liverpool. In its synthesis of cool-cat detachment and oracular yearning, the lead vocal recalls the pleasing retro-pop tang of La's frontman Lee Mavers, a comparison matched by the track's gleaming popcraft.

Cigarette is carved from clattering, grooving instrumentation which the impeccable production clips into a crisp and catchy shape, giving every part a chance to shine rather than clumping it all together in a foggy purple haze. Girl for Samson's fifth album, Blend all the Seasons, is due out at the beginning of 2025. What a way to start a year!"

WAX Vinyl Records
Girl for Samson Embraces 60s Grooves and Indie Vibes with "You Better Run" and "Cigarette"

"American band Girl for Samson unveils two standout tracks, You Better Run and Cigarette, showcasing their ability to blend retro influences with a contemporary edge. Known for their thoughtful, unpredictable music, the band continues to craft songs that feel timeless yet fresh, drawing on 60s rock and 90s indie inspirations.

You Better Run kicks off with syncopated organ chords and driving rock 'n' roll guitars, setting the stage for a funky drum groove that transitions into a hazy, psychedelic vibe. The drifting vocals and harmonized backing vocals shape the mood, while the arrival of a dynamic chorus propels the track forward, offering an uplifting and textured listening experience.

Cigarette leans into a grooving bassline, conga rhythms, and atmospheric keyboard elements. These layers give way to wailing guitar accents and catchy vocals, building towards a powerful chorus. The track reflects a fusion of 60s rock aesthetics and 90s Manchester indie vibes, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Formed in 2000, Girl for Samson consists of Patrick Meagher, Johnny Marie, and Steven Brown. Over two decades, they've built a reputation for crafting albums that balance groove, thoughtfulness, and unpredictability. The band's discography, released at intervals of roughly five years, includes 12 (2004), sleepnovox (2009), Harriet (2015), and Old into Young (2022). Their latest album, Blend all the Seasons, due in 2025, marks a shift in their creative process - moving from individually crafted songs to tracks developed collaboratively from grooves and jams.

With You Better Run and Cigarette, Girl for Samson offers a glimpse into their evolving sound, filled with sass, groove, and an appreciation for musical history."

Olipa kerran kukka. 

Lyrics:

1. Niinkuin kukat kääntyy valoon
käännyn sinua päin
ja kun muilta juoksin pakoon
sinun viereen jäin

vapaaehtoisesti vallan
Oon tässä
vailla sarvia ja hampaita

joo
Ooon
varmaan joskus vaikee
liian melankolinen ja haikee
mutta sinun kanssa 
löytyy aina ilo

vaikka kiven kolosta

   ja nyt vain  
nautin 
olosta

2. Niinkuin kukat kuolee janoon
nuupahdan ilman sua
nuput jäisi kiinni
enkä 

vapaaehtoisesti vallan
oon tässä
vailla sarvia ja hampaita


   ja nyt vain  
nautin 
olosta

joku tykkää tästä
kukkapolosta

Kukka

“The Sound of Silence” was penned by one-half of the folk duo, Paul Simon. The then-21-year-old fittingly found the song while alone in the darkness.

“The main thing about playing the guitar was that I was able to sit by myself and play and dream,” Simon shared in an interview with Playboy (quote via Ultimate Classic Rock). “And I was always happy doing that. I used to go off in the bathroom, because the bathroom had tiles, so it was a slight echo chamber. I’d turn on the faucet so that water would run – I like that sound, it’s very soothing to me – and I’d play. In the dark.”

Hello, darkness, my old friend / I’ve come to talk with you again, the song begins against a pensive pluck of strings, mirroring Simon’s state at the song’s inception.

“The Sound of Silence” was released on the duo’s debut album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M., but the acoustic album was initially a failure and led to Simon & Garfunkel disbanding for a spell, the former in pursuit of a solo career abroad and the latter in search of higher education.

Unbeknownst to the two, “The Sound of Silence” had perked a few ears and was seeing a fair amount of airplay in certain regions. The song’s producer Tom Wilson decided to rearrange it, adding drums and electric guitars to round out the original acoustics, and in 1965, re-released “The Sound of Silence” as the song we know today.

The new and improved tune was an immediate success, becoming an international No. 1 and leading to the regrouping of Simon & Garfunkel, a partnership that would go on to produce one of folk’s most enduring songbooks" .                        American Songwriter
