Mundane Task

Wait another day
To say goodbye
Just choose another face
And give it anohter try

Though I know your battle is at it's end
I am not oke losing a friend

Now I keep on wishing 
For you
To see the sun
One more time
And then the moon

One more time
One more day
To stay

I know you said,
That you wanne stay
But not in the way,
You are today

That is why it's better to say goodbye
That is what you told me, that last time

Now I keep on wishing 
For you
To see the sun
One more time
And then the moon

One more time
One more day
To stay

Goodbye - Original Song

Our awesome Japanese friend Tot. (@tot-beat, @user-288513022) was on the drums and bass - thanks again so much for working with us on this fun song, Tot.~ We had a blast!

Art by Masha using Prismacolor Coloured Pencils, which were an amazing gift from @katyasolo. Cheers for that, Katya!

Synth work by Rob Ulysses (@rob-ulysses) and Masha Solo (@masha-solo) Masha also wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals.

This song's story is that one day, Rob & Masha were doing deliveries for a summer-long job in 2021 when Masha spotted an old 60s van in a junkyard and snapped a quick photo, later the two of them making the event into a full song with the help of Tot.

At the same time as Tot. was working on a drum and bass conga style beat but he had no other parts, Rob & Masha were already working on synth parts and a fun chiptunes solo, but they had no drums! So when they heard each other's work in progress, it was only natural that they combined the two into a sort of Farewell To Summer song from their vivid summer memory.

This track is remixable, as long as it's noncommercial.

Lyrics:

Swag And a Bag

Once in my travels, two summers past,
I was on a long road trip for work around Oz,
On country roads, with sugarcane vast,
I saw something that made me drive back and pause,
I saw something that made me drive back and pause...

It really caught my eye,
And I still don't really know why!
But I had to take a photo,
Before I went back to work

It was just this really old van!

In an old junkyard, full of wildflowers, tropical brush,
(And although my job demanded I rush)
I saw that there was an old 60’s van that had seen better days,
It looked like it had seen so many sights, although now decays

(It was just this really old van!)

Before I moved on, I snapped a photograph,
On the side it said something that made me laugh (hah)
“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph
x2

I wondered who had once owned it and why,
If it was for tourists, who’d used it nearby,
What kind of adventures it had been on,
Even though its road trip days were gone
x2

I didn't even really know what 'Swag and a Bag' would mean,
I had to look it up.
But apparently it's really lucky-
It's like when something really good happens to you.
And I found that message positive.

“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph

“Swag And A Bag” it said, on its side with a tag,
With bright teals and yellows surrounding the autograph!

...And I found that message positive.

FULL INSTRUMENTAL!

“The Way” started with a piano melody and kept unfurling as I healed from the loss of a few loved ones last year…which was capped off with my beautiful family dogs both passing. The lyrics to this song took on their loss, but the whole thing is really an open entry from my own grief process through to happiness again.

Lyrics:

You tighten your grip that you have on me
Iam so scared
Baby , why can't you see
That you got me exactly where you want..
When you say you're leaving
I beg you Please baby, don't!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
with no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

You can take all my money
Spend it your way
You can take whatever you want
As long as you stay..
You don't have to love me
Or tell me that you do
You can do what the hell you want
As long as i have you!

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me , baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

If you tell me to jump
I will only ask: how high?
With no other questions
I will never ask you why
Please don't leave me, baby
I do anything for you
As long as you don't leave me here
Baby, what can i do?

Thank you for visiting and listening. I appreciate your comments and messages. Please feel free to say hello! - Steve
General life - info / bio - - -
I began my musical education with listening as an infant and at the age of 7, in 1958, composed my first piece of music which was a brass quartet.

Early influences were guided by the musical taste of my Mother which was often Tchaikovsky and other romantic composers, with an occasional diversion to Big Band and pop music of the late 40's and early 50's.

The Boys Club Band, Grade School Choir and High School Band were a great education in basic orchestration and harmony and in the mid 60's, and self taught as a guitarist, I began live performance, which lasted until 1999.

Music and technology have always been my main interests and as those two elements continued to merge through the late 90's to the present, they have led me to the point where I now can successfully realize my earliest childhood dreams of musical expression in composing for full orchestra.

Special thanks to Mom for the great listening experience, brother Greg for the continued guidance in music from a formal perspective, and brother Lew for the technological expertise.
