Cool track with strong Sci-Fi atmosphere! Great guitar play!

Very cool track Steve! Thou Shall Not Funk! Great job!

Confession: I couldn't really define "Funk" if I had to.  But this is great. I wish I had thought of this :))

It's a very gorgeous and excellent piece of work.

Absolutely outstanding track in a funk style! Truly gorgeous work, Steve!

kind of familiar, yet different. Well done.

Really cool 😃 forbidden funk, the best kind of funk 🤘

Always something original to listen to here my friend !! 🌍 ☮︎ 👍

Na Féilte Tine - Samhain ,  Halloween Day, Festival of fire in Ireland
A transition into the dark days , keep well and warm 

Tar Éis na Tine (After the Fire )

It is the second act of an uncoiling Shakespearean tragedy with the return of all the bad actors; the corrupt courtiers, the feckless sons and whorish handmaids, the ambitious assassins, the smug black robed judges and boot licking lawyers, the drooling oligarchs, the sycophant politicians and slimy religious zealots, all eager to have their way with the women and the daughters who cannot appeal to justice because justice is vanquished. No checks, no balance. 

The final act portends banishment and deportation, violence and failed foreign alliances, right wing retribution, final solutions and the mad king’s revenge. It is all tear stained and blood drenched in irony as the authors and audience of this particular tragedy are the people themselves.

LYRICS

Memory
Memory 
Taking me
to 
a place 
on an island   
so long ago 

0:18
Memory
Memory 
Bracing me
for a talk 
and a walk
in the snow

That’s when I’m thinking 

0:35
How I wish 
I knew 
back then 
0:43 
what I know 
0:46 
now
0:48 
Oh wow 

0:50
Oh
Memory
Taking me
0:56
to  
a land
in a photo
1:01
saved on my phone

1:04
Memory
Memory
1:09
Tempting me
1:12
to a room
our first kiss
all alone
 
1:19
Oh
1:21
How I wish
that I knew then
what I know
now

Wow wow
Oh

1:38
Oh
Memory
Taking me
on 
a trip
where we were free
without a script

1:52
Memory
Memory
Teaching me
2:00
how to make
love with you
tenderly

2:07
Oh
How I wish 
I knew back then
what I know
now

Wow wow wow 

2:28
Oh
Memory
Trés jolie
Thrill-ing me
With the thought of 
you 
wanting more 

2:42
Memory 
Memory 
Waking me 
like a shock 
from a knock 
at the door 

Oh

How I wish
that I knew then
What I know 
3:09
now 

Oh 
wow 

Wow!

procedure: Jeff and jo co-composed the lines that eventually made it into the lyrics. Jeff then selected and condensed those lines into a single poem and recorded a spoken version. jo added some modulation and instrumentation, mostly urban field recordings and vst (organ, cello, choir) in quite a gritty mix. Jeff created a mellotron track as well as a remodulation of the reading and jo added some delayed quitar and incorporated all of that into the mix. Eventually, Jeff performed an amazing e-bow solo which jo aðded into the brew - asking his software to also magic up some time reversal and stretching .... ah, the hermetic arts of the mixing desk! image: copyright jo richter

lyrics / copyright Jeff gardiner and jo richter:

I dreamed of bees and she's ensconced
lovingly covered in wax and honey
in her shock

Coy teenagers carry their mothers' frigid deferral
on their sleeves
enticing the junk yard louts -
creating silver bullets for the gentlemen of lore

The porter took the luggage through a doorway made of fog
- snake masters of the charming trades and the Gorgon in the lobby
offer terror as a benefit and a hobby

Fake slaughter of willing lambs
souls embalmed in resin prayers
heretics and fools
buying artificial artifacts from the vendors
in the palace lobby after hours

While towers in the distance seem to shimmer
in the brilliant heat of golden stars exploding
in the summer of his thoughts
while the unknown spawn of heavy metal Gibson psalms
is inspired by the razor wire,  coiled
and singing in the wind

Psalms- With Jo and Jeff-

Winter Bossa

“It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I’d known, maybe I’d have kept tighter hold of them, and not let unseen tides pull us apart.”

Never Let Me Go

I like Soundcloud because it's a friendly community for sharing our music. When I like your music, I say how it affected me, maybe something about how you wrote, performed or produced it. I have musically diverse interests: pop/rock songs, jazz-rock fusion/prog instrumentals; acoustic guitar. Main instrument is guitar, I'm not a keyboard player or singer, but hopefully I can do enough there to make my work sound ok.
