I've missed so much, this is a gem. This could be my next favourite of yours Steve, but they are always my favourite until I hear the next. Sweet chords and lovely instrumentation and cool lyrics. I'll be stealing a lot of this material. Cheers Steve

lovele easy listening piece , so nice to listen to :-)

Always fluid rhythm playing on acoustic. Some very nice chops and chord voicings in this and complement your blues/rock/jazz vocals to a tee.

Love these chord phrases. Defining to the song.

I must tell you that I like your voice very much! Matching so well with your music style! Great vibe in this song, somme feel good stuff we all need!

saw you stumble along on an empty field
jumping over all the black holes of pandemic fears
filled with the collateral damage
no empty gaps
it’s not easy to find a direction
when the world turns mad
when the whole world turns mad

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

the moment you see the horizon it starts to slip away
get your head up into the stars to light your way
saw you stumble along on an empty field
chased by pandemic rabbits
but you were better in hitting the hook
so it seems

don’t give yourself away
sunchild
don’t surrender to these days
sunchild

Sunchild

THE SEA WAS WATCHING US

remastered this one for posterity...and for Devin Locke ; )

glad you came down

I wrote this song during the pandemic during lock down. I'm glad I do not feel this way anymore; however, you'll never know the good times if you don't have some bad. I really appreciated what Jessica Lloyd recently wrote about this song. You can check her review out with the attached link. Thanks for listening. 

"I loved the beat on “Dream #50” I’m not entirely sure if it was manipulated guitar or synths but everything here has a symbiotic relationship. It sounded like one moving organism. The vocals are again quite catchy and haunting."

Dream #50

Dream # 50

Played with 8-string electric guitar. The guitar is tuned in perfect fourths and it was capoed the second fret. The guitar is equipped with Dimarzio 8-string bridge pickup.
I picked the strings with bare finger tips.

my vocal contribution written below

salt and sugar look the same
could be mistaken but that's okay
mistake do happen yeah
mistake do happen every day
every day of life

all those things I didn't mean to break
all these things I didn't mean to forget
I didn't mean

straighten your shoulders, girl
take a deep breath or wash your face girl
but don't get stuck girl

to brood about
linger over
crying over failures again
cry on your grave
flowering your grave
carry your cross
to the death
flowering your grave
while you are not dead yet

Love and pain don't feel the same
but sometimes you're lost
and feel love is pain
mistake do happen yeah
mistake do happen every day

secrets that I forgot, yes indeed
dreams that I gave up, not really meant that
people that I forgot, on purpose
houses I will not build up, on purpose

Cannot see the world as it is
through filters
greed, hate wrath
whatever it is
it affects your judgment
don't brood about
try to by wise
instead of crying over failures
that happen every day
take the lesson with you

Salt & Sugar

Salt & Sugar (Kaerian and MZRPKLPS / Muterial Off the Rails Open Collab)

Continuing the Jazz injected pop-rock theme of Collect the Moment and Better do SOME GOOD this one references AJA though it could easily be ASIA. My time spent in AJA (Steely Dan) was about the same time we were dissecting preserved bodies in Otago Medical School. Playing live then I was channeling more of a Neil Young, Bob Dylan and THE BAND pre Americana country rock thing. But jump ahead 40 years and here we were just this last Saturday night churning out JOSIE from AJA in a set of originals and covers full of Jazz Chords and RnB beats. So this new song absorbs a lot of that stuff. 

HR Kiosk

Next to you, I feel a hero
The maintenance of normal, while you’re a trip to Cairo
Circa 2023 I’d like to paraphrase
Cause cities like that and Khartoum
Once set a soul ablaze

So book yourself into an HR Kiosk tonight
There’s gotta be an on-line guru who could shine a light
Infiltate you with guile
Make you think there’s actually an I in why 
Yeah yeah yeah

Time spent in Aja did it make me cynical?
Made me feel ok to rave 
And pull you off your pinnacle
Of course it’s arrogant to judge, someone on culture
But I see you circling thru the sky, with the eye of a vulture

Know you kinda inside out
So I’d try it with a hundred grand
I bet you on your virtual couch 
You’re lying on a slippery Sam

Course you’re going even lower - way below zero
Sayin’ hey let’s all be friends
Like Ghandi and Nehru
Your time at the Taj Mahal, did us no favours
After breathing in the rarified shrine
Where’s your reconciliation pavers

Life is busy. I make software that Apple designers use make their chips. This track is made on iPhone with Korg Gadget app and uploaded directly to GadgetCloud. Same way as 8 years ago, when I joined SoundCloud. Cover photo of Gadget project on iPhone made with the same iPhone. Cheers!  

Endless Light will become part of my future Impressions album along with (tracks that also made on the Korg Gdaget on iPhone/iPad):

Impression

Endless Light

I usually share quite personal songs with you . In a certain manner that s the case for that one too . But the one's who s talking to you here is an 8 years old Franky boy. Every time someone asked him"what will you do with your life in the future ?" , he just answered : I'll be a magician , of course !
The old guy just lends his voice and plays a few stuffs here and there. 
Of course this is not a "serious" song , but many artists currently post their summer songs , and i've never composed a summer song . So here's my first try !

Magician

Even as a little child, people ask you 
what you want to be when you grow up
but really when you think about it, it's a strange thing 
to ask a child that 
I want to answer the question 
but give me time... 
and one and two and three and ... 

I would like to be a magician 
to make doves appear in my hands 
I would like to be a magician 
to make the tears disappear from my mates' eyes

now that I am grown up 
they still ask me
what I do with my life 
my projects my desires
so I say to myself, here we go 
here it comes again
it's true I don't like it 
but if you want to know 
I've always had this dream since I was a kid 
so give me a chance 

I would like to be a magician 
to make scarves and rabbits appear from a hat
I would like to be a magician 
to make doubts and sorrows disappear from your heart 

I would like to be a magician 
to write in golden letters in the sky 
a hope for tomorrow

Take It Easy Man - Nabil Khazzaka - Paploviante Music

Being originally a very short & simple song I wrote about a traumatic event (translated lyrics below), I have been working separately on verses and refrain, then trying new ways to combine and glue them.

So, aware of changing moods along, most with tambourine in hands ;)

Letra / Lyrics:

MI ALBORNOZ HA DESAPARECIDO  /  MY BATHROBE HAS DISAPPEARED

¿Quién sabe a dónde ha ido?  /  Who knows where it has gone?
¿Quién estará conmigo  /  Who will be with me
las noches en que tenga frío?  /  the nights when I feel cold?

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.

Después de lo que hemos vivido,  /  After all that we lived,
¿quién sabe porqué se ha ido?  /  who knows why it has gone away?
Dios sabe cuánto le he querido…  /  God knows how much I have loved it …

Mi albornoz ha desaparecido.  /  My bathrobe has disappeared.
