…for fun but with passion, so comes this collection of ideas, many found in a drawer where it lay waiting for the right time for nearly two decades, some of more recent vintage, all songs have become full and genuine participation of each of polite we. No words, just notes whisper or scream and indispensable drums beaten, and the synergy of the pot of different musical trends and growth, this is the fertile ground where our emotions finally now have a shape, color, harmony…

Recorded at SoundMakers Studio Rome between july 2010 and june 2011.
All songs written and arranged by AG except S.I.R. (DD – G) and Pyramid (P – G – DD).

SCRAMGE - I Love You More Than You Ever Known (Donny Hathaway)

Zuhause (Home) - Rock Flexible
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A tune for all traveling home over Christmas!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Lyrics (German + English):

Ich fahre viel zu schnell ich will zu Dir
Bäume wie Schatten fliegen vorbei an mir 
Morgen werde ich Dich vielleicht wieder sehn
Oder wirst Du mir aus dem Wege gehen.

Ich folg’ den zwei roten Punkten vor mir
Sie weisen mir den Weg, den Weg zu Dir
Der Lichtkegel vor mir lässt mich nicht so weit sehn
wie ich will - oh, wie ich will …

---
Home - home
Endlich wieder
Home - home
Endlich wieder
Home - home
Endlich wieder Zuhause
Hmmm
---

Ich weiß nicht mehr wer das erste Wort gab
Und auch nicht mehr, warum ich all das gesagt hab 
Mensch, ich hab ab keine Ahnung, es ist so eskaliert!
Wer hätte gedacht, dass sowas uns passiert. 

Niemand weiß ob die Wunden geheilt sind. 
Sind wir schon bereit, ist der Schmerz überwunden
Für mich kann ich sagen, ich wäre soweit …
Doch ich kann auch verstehen, wenn’s für Dich nicht mehr reicht.

---
Home - home
Endlich wieder
Home - home
Endlich wieder
Home - home
Endlich wieder Zuhause
Hmmm
---
###########################
I drive too fast I want to go to you
Trees like shadows fly past me
Maybe tomorrow I will see you again
Or will you avoid me.

I’ll follow the two red dots in front of me
They show me the way, the way to you
The cone of light in front of me doesn't let me see that far
how I want - oh how I want ...

---
Home - home
Finally again
Home - home
Finally again
Home - home
Home at last
Hmmm
---

I don't remember who gave the first word
And no longer why I said all that man, I have no idea, it's escalated!
Who would have thought that something would happen to us.

Nobody knows if the wounds have healed.
If we are ready, the pain is over
For me I can say that I am ready ...
But I can also understand if for you it's no longer enough.

---
Home - home
Finally again
Home - home
Finally again
Home - home
Home at last
Hmmm

Vergeblich (ft. Doc Fritz from OESJ) - Rock Flexible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
One month ago I published my original version of this song: https://soundcloud.com/rock-flexible/vergeblich-rock-flexible
The other day Peter from OESJ aka Doc Fritz offered me to take an try on an alternative drum version since he felt my original programmed EZDrummer patterns were hiding some of the beauty of the instrumentation and vocals. So he came up with this wonderful one-take. The song is not a different song, but it now sounds really slowed down, which perfectly fits the current time we are living in! All my thanks are to Doc Fritz for this beautiful version! 
Stay safe, stay healthy!

Lyrics by RF:

Ein freundliches Wort
Du bist nicht alleine - denkst Du.
Sie schreibt heute länger als sonst - mit Dir
‚Hörst‘ Ihr so gerne zu!

Pausen werden länger
Warten kommt Dir ewig vor.
Schreibt Sie einem andern,
Obwohl Sie Dir eben noch ‚Treue‘ schwor?

——
Wie immer verkommt Dein Werben zur Farce und
Wie immer macht Sie sich nur wieder nen Spaß draus!
Sag mal leidest Du gerne,
Wie oft denn nun noch?
Lass Sie geh’n, Lass Sie steh’n, denn allein -
Allein bleibst Du doch!
——

Zwischen Trauer und Wut
Zwischen Hoffnung und Selbstmitleid - hängst Du
Wartest auf ein Zeichen von Ihr - 
Auf ein Bild, auf ein Wort - dann ist alles wieder gut!?

Du würdest gern
den Frust schnell vergessen, verdrängen, 
nur das Gute bewahren, 
Doch verfahr’n ist die Lage, hör’ mit zu was ich sage
Denn ich weiß wovon ich red’.

——
Wie immer verkommt Dein Werben zur Farce und
Wie immer macht Sie sich nur wieder nen Spaß draus!
Sag mal leidest Du gerne,
Wie oft denn nun noch?
Lass Sie geh’n, Lass Sie steh’n, denn allein -
Allein bleibst Du doch!
——

Zwischen Trauer und Wut
Zwischen Hoffnung und Selbstmitleid
Wartest auf ein Zeichen von Ihr - 
Auf ein Bild, auf ein Wort

Doch Pausen werden länger
Warten kommt Dir ewig vor.
Schreibt Sie einem andern,
Obwohl Sie Dir eben noch ‚Treue‘ schwor?
Obwohl Sie eben noch ‚Treue‘ schwor!

02 Second Chance

Hi to everybody! I'm an old beginner drummer...I started playin' drums when I was young, but after only one year sold my Hollywood drum kit , for medicine studies and hospital working, marriage and sons....
recently I bought an acoustic Pearl kit, but the noise was too high, and then an Alesis drum kit, and the passion exploded in me again!
I am an absolute beginner , but I love so much the rhythm and drums..... I played for years on sofa cushion, following my preferred music, Genesis, Jethro Tull, EL&P, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and many others...like a fool idiot!
Now I can play with my E Drum on drumless tracks, I joke with this, not being a really skilled musician, I'm studying drums anyway...
Sorry for my english....it is not my language...and I hadn't study enough....SC gives me the possibility of listen and share music with you, really good musicians, and friends!
Be patient with my beat errors...:-))))
I should be happy  to collab with others on SC ....if you need a (bad) drummer, I'm here!
Good Music to you all...
In few months I met on Sc so many friends, who gave me the chance to play on original and beautiful songs, I'll forever grateful to them for that, especially to Xycon, a great musician and man!
I have the pleasure and the luck to collab with some of these:
Xycon
Ray McGinnis
Torn
Tony Pappas
Anders Birr
Lee Lucas
PappaLeone
Jonny Cooke
Ed Haydon
Nick Nolan
MarkJ Bennett
Gianni Fuga
Vlad Josephson
Allan Lyon
Yann Vienne
and many others...
I want to thank all of these wonderful musicians for let me play on their music!
Music is life, and drums are the heart of music....
Thanks for all your comments!
Carlo
