Ladies and Gentlemen, lads and lasses, Ramrock Red Records are proud to present the all-star Edinburgh collective ‘Out of The Ordinary’ with their first LP ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’. 

Out Of The Ordinary are an Edinburgh based hive mind collective. For the ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’ LP project, Joseph Malik decided to sit firmly in the producer’s chair and team up once again with the co-writers and production ‘dream’ team of arranger Chris Greive and co-producers Saleem Andrew McGroarty and David Donnelly to create an open love letter to Edinburgh, the city they all love. Chris Greive began his musical life in Australia obtaining a BMus Jazz degree before relocating to Scotland in 2000 where he lectures at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Glasgow, UK) and is Lead Trombone of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. He is constantly in demand as arranger (Eddi Reader 'Cavalier' 2018) and many other projects including wife Becc Sanderson Sextet 'Bows to Bowie' album (for release on Ramrock Red Records 2019). Chris’s award-winning NeWt trio will also release a new album (recorded in Toronto Nov 2018) of their 'Electric Trombone' led Prog-Jazz and his most recent collaborations with Joseph Mailk, lending his phenomenal performer, arranger and production skills to the ‘Diverse Part 2’ and ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’ LP projects. Without Chris’s arrangement + executive production contributions to this album, it wouldn’t have got made. Steven Christie is a keyboard player with over 30 years’ experience of recording, playing live and studio production. He can be heard on releases from the Chimes, Botany 5 and the Proclaimers who he currently tours with. He first collaborated with Joseph Malik on the 1993 Blacka’nized release ‘Music For Your Mind’ EP and since then, Steven and Joseph have worked closely together on many productions, culminating with the latest project, ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’ and without Steven’s contribution to this album, it wouldn’t have got made. David ‘Demus’ Donnelly is a virtual one-man band and his brilliantly inventive guitar and mandolin work, plus the odd basso profundo counter-harmony is why he has been the backbone of many a Scottish production. His longstanding producer/songwriter partnership with Joseph Malik has showcased Demus skills on milestone LPs ‘Diverse Part 1’ in 2002, ‘Aquarius’ and ‘Diverse Part 2’ in 2018. ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’ is the pinnacle and distillation of the accumulated experience of Scotland’s most talented and respected musicians. Saleem Andrew McGroarty has been part of the Edinburgh music scene for over 30 years, starting out as a DJ at Edinburgh’s key club nights including The Hooch, Chocolate City, Seen and the illustrious Lizzard Lounge. The 90’s saw Saleem releasing a track on Mo Wax and currently he is producing under the ‘Sound Signals’ moniker. Now, Saleem’s friendship + musical collaboration with Joseph Malik, which stretches back to 1988, continues to flourish on LPs ‘Diverse Part 2’ and now ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’.

Lyrics
Never seen the same cloud twice
Oh how they change
Oh how they change

Never seen the same snowflakes
Oh how they change
Oh how they change

I’ll be your shield
When the heavens open
I’ll be your shelter
If you lose your way
You’ll be my shield 
When the heavens open
You’ll be my shelter
In the pouring rain

Never held the same leaf twice
Oh how they drift
Oh how they drift
Never seen the same sun rise
Oh how how it glows
Oh how it glows...

CHANGES (by Still featuring Annie Smart)

Had to write this track twice as my first attempt crashed but I’m glad I have a new version to share! Lots of piano, percussion and swishy sounds. Hope someone enjoys. 😊❤️🎶🎹🎵🎤⭐️💫

If you ask me nicely
I will show you the stars
If you ask me nicely 
We can meet in the sky

So let me wish upon the star
That you’ll hold me close
Keep me safe from harm
Oh let me dream upon this star
That you’ll hold me tight
Keep me safe from harm

If you ask me kindly
I will show you the night 
And we’ll soar until dawn
In the twinkling light
Be my light...

Chorus

Oh keep me safe
Oh keep me safe...

SAFE FROM HARM

UP MY STREET (featuring Ruairidh MacLean on Bass/Drums)

Mastered by my lovely Sander...thank you. 😊 Back at my acoustic piano again for this new song. 😊❤️🎤🎵🎹

Do you want the merry go round? 
I don’t want no ghost train
I don’t need no roller coaster 
All I need is you...

On the Ferris wheel
Take me up with you
On the Ferris wheel
I’ll remember this moment with you

No time for dodgems
No time for games
Don’t need no roller coaster 
When I’m close to you

High on the Ferris wheel 
Take me up with you
High on the Ferris wheel 
I remember this moment with you

I remember how we soared
I remember how we soar

On the Ferris wheel 
Took you high with me
Oh on the Ferris wheel
You’ll remember me...
