Vercelloni Strive for greatness,we're never complacent -- insclife

rockin' cover and awesome wall of guitar! feels like i am being engulfed in the sound!

Nice work Steve! One of my fave Neil songs! Nice wide-open sound you got on this one.

This somg never disappoints, great cover!

I did  this over 5 years back with Johnny Hazard (JNY HZD) here on Soundcloud. I never released it on my page so I am doing it now before I forget to again. I re-mastered it and took out a lot of my earlier back-up vocals for a cleaner sound. This is Johnny's great music. It inspired me enough to ask him if I could have a go at lyrics and vocals for it and luckily for me he said yes. Even better luck was had when he said he liked it enough to release it on his page back in 2016/2017. We hope you enjoy it.
If you want to hear some great music, go to the JNY HZD page. He is an exceptional guitarist and composer.

Music Is What Feelings Sound Like

Que fais-tu baby?

Get Funky

This is another tune I worked on last week when I was kidnapped, er, when I collaborated with Josh and his band of maniacal musicians.    These guys GIT R DUN I tell you . This one evolved lots just in the few days we worked it up.  
This is June Bug

June Bug  - (Eclectic Collective)

Is anyone still out there?
Well hello there if you are taking some of your valuable time to read this! As the lyrics to this (probably)final song say, its been a long while……
The last time I checked into Soundcloud was maybe last December, wow…. 
I packed up for a holiday in Hawaii, ran the Honolulu Marathon, watched a volcano erupt, cast my dog’s ashes into a lava field and drank a tropical island's worth of cocktails while watching the sunset with my wife. And then returned a few weeks later decidedly unenthused about the Cat and my collaborator.
Gina had been making noises about returning to an on again / off again musical partner. That wasn’t unexpected and was actually a bit of a relief as I hadn’t been enjoying this for a while. Our last few songs had been tortuous to finish, including this one which was finally finished I think way back in October 2022.
Cat Came Back was always a lot like an arranged marriage - nothing at all in common but we kind of made it work 3 minutes at a time. But by late last year, it had become very hard work. And as you fellow Soundclouders know, outside of personal satisfaction, the rewards for all of that hard work are not very large. So, if the personal satisfaction is gone, there’s not a lot left to motivate oneself. 
In addition to that, there were a few rather large elephants in the room regarding my collaborator that I won't go into but nevertheless constantly weighed very heavily on my mind throughout our time together and I was finding these increasingly difficult to continue to ignore for the sake of making music together.
So anyway, when I returned a perhaps brief hiatus accidentally turned into this - silence for what, 7-8 months? Haven’t picked up an instrument in all that time and they currently sit in my garage gathering dust. Took up Chess, what a rabbit hole that is! Continued running. Listening as always to a lot of old jazz. Continued seemingly never ending renovations to my house. Spent a lot of time with my lifelong friend, William Styron’s Black Dog, as a matter of fact he's here sitting right by my side now. 
So what now? I sat down a few days back and listened to a few things that were unfinished as of late last year. Maybe its time to start again. Find a new collaborator or two? Anyone know anyone who might be a match?
In the meantime I’ll dip my toe in and check out what some of my favourite Soundclouders have been up to while I was away. I'm sure I've missed out on some really great stuff.

Minor Exotica (Turned To Black)

Absolute WIP,embryonic, not arranged...
Words just sketchy ideas but will be something like:
Tony Tony Visconti
Robert Fripp
Brian Eno
Nourishment for a growing young man
When hi hi
Spin round Low
Breaking Glass
Sound and Vision...

The Pied Piper Of Beckenham

I pulled my Decade songbook out of storage a few months back and have been thinking about a Neil Young cover.  Somehow I got sidetracked this week and ended up on a performance Neil did with Devo of Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black).  I won't bore you with a history lesson but I will say that if Neil decided to spend almost 10 minutes of Human Highway on the performance below, it must have meant something to him at the time.  Plus it's really fun to play!

Words and music by Neil Young/Jeff Blackburn/Devo/Crazy Horse.

/// Lyrics:
Durante años he sido controlada por la mentalidad religiosa
He estado presa de mis pensamientos
Siento una energía dentro de mí, un gran poder invisible, la Telekinesis
Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Romperé las barreras de lo que me imponen
dejaré de ser una chica tímida y cabizbaja
me graduaré con honores en la fiesta de sangre
ya no seré mas objeto de tus burlas
seré tu peor pesadilla infernal.

Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.

Lady of Fire Poetry | Motion X - Once Upon A Time

On The Same Planet

A song inspired on an article I once read about Aeham Ahmad, the piano player from Yarmouk, Syria, who's piano was burned by IS.  After this he flee from his country and ended up in Germany. He still plays the piano; you can also find him here on SoundCloud!  @aeham_ahmad




DISCONNECTED

I used to feel free
In my beloved country
There was nothing to image 
that could make me want to leave that place
I used to play piano
And sang songs of love and happiness
Now those days are  gone, those lovely days are gone

I am disconnected
disconnected

My piano is destroyed now
They burned out the devil
My piano was executed and I’m sure 
I would be next if I would stay around too long
So I started travelling
Without knowing where to go
I started travelling
I just had to go.

I am disconnected
Disconnected

I’ve travelled by car, by trains and busses
I walked for many hours
While I sat on boat on the endless sea
I thought it never ended
I’ve waited for gates, without food in the rain 
I crossed 9 borders
Now I here and 
I’m disconnected

I’m disconnected
disconnected

Disconnected

Thanks for listening and more importantly, thank you for sharing your work and recommendations!
