Just set them up
Though I'm only seventeen.
Just set me up.
I'll take the fall.
I'll take a drink.
And I'll knock them down again.
No resolutions made here.
I'm not out for friends.

Deep is the valley where the sunlight never shows.
Deep is the chasm. 
Which you sink beneath. 
You fall so low.

Oh, set them up.
and I'll prove to you all that I.
Am the greatest.
On the pages.
That ever was.
Oh, set them up.
Sit back and watch me drown them all.
My intuition, all your judgement and my lies.
Oh, set them up.
There's nothing better to do.
You should try walking a mile in these old shoes.

Deep is the valley where the sunlights never shown.
Deep is the chasm. 
Well I'll sink right down. 
You set them up.
Watch me fall.
I'll fall so low.

I'll take that drink.
Some years since Seventeen.
You set them up.
I knock them down.
I'll take that fall. 
No giving up.
I set them up.
And knock them down.
I'm still around 
Oh, I have been through this before.

Deep is the valley where the sunlight never shows.
Deep is the chasm. 
Which you sink into. 
You fall down.
Deep is the valley where the sunlights never shown.
Deep is the bottom. 
When you sink them down. 
You set them up.
Watch me fall.
I'll fall so low.

Musician & songwriter driven just by passion for songwriting and singing. I am releasing "SoundCloud first" but some selected songs are also on https://potbarley.bandcamp.com or Spotify etc, sometimes in older versions though.
Since spring 2023 I have been writing and recording mainly as a "one man band", using acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, an old piano, conga, etc. and a voice.
Former member of German bands: In Rags (with Sami Yli-Sirniö and Roman Keymer), Sharkpool and Dutch bands Garbitsjkeng, The Wit, Trio van Putten and and a few others. I baptized my Alter Ego and named him "Pot Barley".

Daniel Lars: Multi-Instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, producer. Born, initially grew up in the heart of San Francisco. Music deeply rooted...young age of four. Psychedelic music scene was electrifying. Nevertheless, Daniel Lars was deeply influenced from extensive variety of music. Rock, Hard Rock, Psychedelic, Glam Rock, R&B, Funk, Soul, Motown, late '60s pop music, Progressive Rock, Gothic, Eastern music, Blues, Disco, Bossa nova, Folk, Jazz Fusion, Jazz, Classical, World Music, Techno, Psychedelic Trance, Hip-hop. 

Daniel Lars: "My father would play stacks of vinyl from extensive record collection. Especially, during weekends. Late, through the night. Recall in record collection...early Beatles, Big Band, classical, jazz, Elvis, Frank Sinatra, MC5, Dusty Springfield, Motown. Various country artists in record collection. While my oldest brothers were playing '60s rock, Southern Rock, English psychedelic bands, from vinyl collection. During late '60s psychedelic era, early '70s." 

Young age of twenty, Daniel decided to seriously pursue music career. First band, younger brother on bass. Jammed with various musicians, friends, bands. San Francisco Bay Area, during the eighties. Formed power trio, "Third Eye." Performed various popular clubs in San Francisco. Relocated in the East Bay Area. Small town in Pleasanton. Shortly, after Third Eye disbanded. Joined popular local East Bay Area hard rock band, Most Wanted. Final gig, major benefit concert. Billed with several other popular Bay Area local bands. Such as Black Tiger (former members of Y&T). To support "October 17th, 1989 Loma Prieta" earthquake victims. During late '90s, hired as a professional session guitarist for two years. Major recording studio in Oakland, CA. Where he learned extensive skills in studio production. Left California in 2008. Always creating gems in musical moments of time. His two lovely rescue cats Syd & Ziggy, daily magical hikes in the forest...are current "musical" inspirations. Cheers.

Experimental magic 🧙‍♂️

Influenced by rock icons such as John Fogerty and Bruce Springsteen

Chris Drabble, based in the Northwest of England, is a rock guitarist who has over 50 years of playing experience.
With nearly 50K streams on SoundCloud in the last 12 months being a mixture of Guitar Rock and softer Ambient instrumental tracks, Chris is now ramping up his rock guitar work with his latest album ‘Foot to the Floor’, which harks back to his youth when rock guitar tracks had a catchy opening riff, and was the sort exciting music you felt you had to tap your foot to. 
His influences include Rush, Led Zeppelin, The Police, Simple Minds, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani and Jimi Hendrix. He is currently listening to Porcupine Tree, Dream Theatre.

Multi-genre composer. Mostly old school, but lately some with ML. Influenced by Beethoven to Queen. Retired Radar/EW System Engineer. Hope you enjoy! LINK TO MY REPOSTS:

Auteur, compositeur, interprète, je suis à la recherche d'un label ou d'un producteur, ainsi que d'un manager pour faire de la scène.
Author, composer, performer,  I am  looking for a  label, and a manager.

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
