Great pop/rock, power pop - there were some fine duos back then and I reckon you were one of them

Impressed you 1. Found this track, 2. Cleaned it up amd ran it through the Soundcloud equilizer, 3. Posted it - an earful for sure, thanks Sam!

great track! endearing sound....loved the tight, crisp rhythm

Hope you can get together again to record. This old tape has such freshness and energy from your youth, always inspiring. Wondering what your lived experience and knowledge can bring to your music now. It can only be good. So glad you shared this gem. Cheers guys

I love your 90’s indie sound. It is the perfect accompaniment to any cult movie or indie film of the 90’s!

Love the track 🔥great production ❤️❤️❤️

My new track ‘Sainte-Chapelle’; written, recorded and produced by myself. This track is a dreamy folk track and I made it using my acoustic guitar and 80s synth keyboard. The French chorus was originally going to be a backing vocal but I quickly realised that it sounded better on its own and so made it the main chorus. As with a lot of my songs, I originally plan on making them very minimal in terms of production but I always end up throwing much more than intended at them. However, I really tried to hold back with this one and purposefully made the production quite simple; just adding a few synths on the final chorus. For those who don’t know, the Sainte-Chapelle is a gothic-style chapel in Paris that was commissioned by Louise IX as his personal place of worship and it got me thinking about the contrast between the grandeur of these medieval cathedrals and the poverty of the surrounding cities. Even with these places of immense beauty, the misery of the people cannot be hidden. Not a political or religious message, I just find these kinds of things interesting. I studied it in university cos I am a huge nerd lol. I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics:
Dive from Heaven, golden waterfalls
Sing the light of Christ on these sacred walls
But what blood was spilled in His holy wars?
I guess beauty don’t conceal our Earthly chores

À la Sainte-Chapelle, je prie le Christ
À la Sainte-Chapelle, je prie le Christ

An amethyst jewel of the ancient city
A guardian sky, stars and saintly kings
But what of Paris and its wicked sins?
I guess beauty don’t conceal what lies within

À la Sainte-Chapelle, je prie le Christ
À la Sainte-Chapelle, je prie le Christ
Ooh

Sainte-Chapelle

In the play "El cóndor pasa", Frank is a character born in an indigenous family, but with blonde hair like the foreigners that exploit him and his peers, a detail that deeply troubles him. In some way, he represents the people of my country, all of us descendants of colonizers and colonized. A shared history of suffering, that's what connect us, and yet, we keep finding ways to discriminate, segregate, despise, humiliate, ignore, kill, and hate on each other.

†ॐ

Composición basada en el "Yaraví de Frank (Pobre alma prisionera)" perteneciente a la zarzuela "El cóndor pasa", del compositor peruano, Daniel Alomía Robles (1887-1940).

(ever too late to shine )    



Now she lives among the stars
                                          
and the night is too dark without her
         
all the light from then till now
                                          
hasn’t found its way back to her

*



I had no heart to hear

all the bells that call on Sunday

just like a waterfall

they’ll stop falling someday

*


refrain:

       
Is it ever too late to shine

ever too late to shine
         
my love


     
Is it ever too late to shine
                      
ever too late to find
      
my love

*


I see her in a crowd 

I see her in the mirror

Her face is like a shroud

as my own grows dimmer 

*


If you find yourself a star

don't lose it in the wishin' 

you're still while it moves far

far beyond your vision

*

ever too late to shine (co-written with my friend)

Another from the late 80s/early 90s cassette vault. Recorded this around the age that our kids are now. A time when you are preparing to leave behind what you have known. Excited about the future and at the same time reflecting on the roots of security you are severing. Not sure if you will want to return. Telling yourself what you need to hear to leave with confidence. At least this is one interpretation :) Hope you enjoy and hoping Morry and I can get together soon to record again. Got some half finished.

O simple one, learn some prudence
O fool, learn some sense

Wisdom cries
from her lips,
comes what's right
Noble things,
she says in vain


O simple one, do you hear me?
O fool, do you pretend?

up on high,
i raise my voice
up to the sky
all that live
can you hear my cry?


Wisdom's call
Does not understanding raise her voice
From her mouth she speaks to you,
I speak only truth

To you, O men, I call


O simple one learn some prudence
O fool learn some sense

Wisdom cries from her lips,
comes what is right
Noble things,
she says in vain

Wisdom's call

Does not understanding raise her voice

From her mouth she speaks to you,
I speak only truth

So, I was walkin down the road
Minding my own
When the Devil on my shoulder spoke 
He said go ahead baby
You might like it maybe 
If you don’t try you’ll never know.

So I was buzzin down the road
In a day dream of my own
When an angel on my shoulder spoke
He said play it safe my son
Temptation overcome
Then Heavens gates will open
When we’re done.

Well the Devils got a smily face but the angels on my case
the Devils got a smiling face but the angels on my case
I said the Devils got a smiling face but the angels on my case
 The Devils got a smiling face and  the angels on my case
