LYRICS

Fight the construct!

Try to scale these walls
Try to make you see
All my intentions
Show you the real me

Not some sort of construct
Something fictional
I just want you to see the real me

You know me so well (x 3)
You know me a little too well
You know me oh so well
You know me so well

You know me a little too well (x 2)
You know me so well
You know me too well

It doesn't matter how I try to hide it
It doesn't matter how I try to fight it
It doesn't matter how I try to hide it
It doesn't matter how I try to fight it

You know me a little too well (x 5)

Try to scale these walls I build (x 2)
Can you scale these walls I build?
Can you scale the walls I build?

You know me a little too well (x 4)
You know the real me
You know me a little too well (x 3)

Loser Kid

Extended album (or punk dance?) version


I am working on an album for this freaky lot. Why? Because it's a heck of a lot of fun. Trying to recreate some goth club memories from the 1990s. Building a band that should have been. It incorporates all sorts of elements from music I've experienced in various states of inebriation, leaving a lasting impact. And here I am sharing that experience.

This is a hypnotic stoner/grunge track not dissimilar to some tracks we used to play live. With a twist, of course, because we were all guys, and this lot is not.

Gary and James 
Jumped on a train
They wanted to escape
The pouring rain

Ran from school
Ran from mum
The guilt and the anger
Afraid of what they become

The train slowly left the station

Didn’t mean to
Didn’t mean to
They looked at each other 
But no one cares no one bother

The train slowly left the station away from the peril

But deep inside something grew
A bigger plan that no one knew
Maybe tomorrow maybe this afternoon 
Doesn’t matter but soon

Gary and James
Not the brightest flames 
Wanted so bad
To do the right thing
But didn’t know what their actions would bring

The train slowly left the station

A X6402 collaboration:

STEPAN
TaNezha x Six Four Zero Two

–
THE COLLABORATION
This X6402 Collaboration is with 'TaNezha'  (Tetyana Nizhynska) who is a singer based in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The lyrics were written and sung by TaNezHa, a capella, in the style of a traditional Folk song. 'Six Four Zero Two' created the music, responding emotionally to the story and mood: "I wanted the music to soar and weave fluidly around the constant that is the voice".

THE TRACK
‘Stepan’ is a story about the strength of a young girl whose partner goes off to war and is lost for some time. When the people eventually gather to hail the Cossacks triumphant return, he is not with them. The girl is forlorn and returns home where, she finds him waiting in the courtyard. A joyful return to love, peace and their homeland.

CREDITS:
Lyrics and Vocal: Tetyana Nizhynska.
Music, Instrumentation and Production: Six Four Zero Two.
Design: 6402.

LYRICS:
Translation from Ukrainian.

There, in the meadow at the edge of the forest, a girl was walking,
looking for healing thyme, mint and roses.
She was singing as she walked "I am collecting the potion for Stepan,
so he can stay strong and defeat the enemies".

When she went to the valley she saw Cossacks,
returning home to Nenka (homeland) in a big crowd.
"Oh, you men, you dear fellows, how happy I am to see you.
Where is my beloved Stepan? I yearn to see him".

"Oh my dear, we do not know, he did not follow.
We know not of his fate, we have not seen him".
The sweet girl burst into tears and went home.
“Where have you gone, my Stepan? My eternal love".

"Oh, you dear man, if only you all would come back home.
Let all of our enemies be gone!", the sweet girl cried.
Then, as she entered the yard she saw Stepan,
waiting there, to joyfully meet his beloved girl.

Started as bass groove after going to a Thundercat gig, needed something else so came up with the 11 note repeating figure on guitar which was then doubled on keys to give an almost Steve Reich type effect. 

One to check out start to finish if you have the time, thanks for listening. For the guitar geeks there's a wee solo at the end.

Drums: NI Karriem Riggins.
Bass: Warwick 5-string Corvette through NI Guitar Rig and during the 11 note sequence section sustained notes on NI Monark synth bass.
Guitars: Suhr Custom Classic and Strandberg Salen Jazz through a few instances of NI Guitar Rig. Short solo at the end is the Suhr.
Keys: various NI, Arturia and Spitfire.
Mastering: Ozone 10 Standard.
DAW: Ableton 12.

Down At The Rec

Finding inspiration in the city pop artwork of Hiroshi Nagai, the music of Jamie xx and the family's old Dire Straits records.

It's also a track inspired by cinema - films such as Bonnie & Clyde and Heat and of course the latest trailer for GTA 6!

Enjoy the ride.

The Heat

ZionFlux

Smoke risin’ over the hills
Mosquitoes on the window sill 
The moths, they come, they fly and spread 
The lights of the past ahead 
The wind, the breath, the earth, the sea
Its winds and breathes eternally

Back at the swamp they were waiting for me
The skunks, the coons, and butterfly’s see 
The light that shines down the mountain side
Let it fill deep inside
Though the slope from the east comes barreling down
Stay strong through the night, hold on….stick around

Eternal Breathing (Feat. ŞeoulŞtreet)

In the haze of the morning
The crow dances to the breeze
In the maze of this life
Shattered pieces of a dream 
From the playground downtown 
The lights flashing aloud 
Far beneath the ground
The echos Vibrating sound 
Clarity I see looking into your eyes
Drifting away, to the seas, to the skies 
A land filled with peace, there in your arms 
A glimmering sky…far from harm
A rainbow sky..passing inside 
Butterfly dreams..dragonfly sky

Concrete walls, years down these halls 
Silent nights, seven flights
Riverbend, far from the eye
River send, peace to the right
On this perch I sit and wait
For the bleeding sunset cast over the lake
The ancient place where the grackles sing 
The ancient place where the last breathe brings
Love yourself, tend the needs, destiny, find the seed
Let it grow, overfill, let it be, time will tell 

The WU it sleeps, it breathes, it eats
From the valley, the screams, they show, money
Rooftops, light rocks, meth melt to the ground
Willow tree, people see, what can’t be dealt
1203, explosive company, down to the ground 
Straight to the sea
Rise above what’s in front of me
Reflections of pieces of a dream

my cats

{Downloadable}
Quarrel on little squirrel
Be bound to sit
Change the time too
rebound it 
Silly little bird lay your head down
See them fluttering all around 
Set back the stash
Drip down the set
Moth gather back to the river real soon
Running underneath the strawberry moon

ŞtrawberryMoonPrayeř

Send them to me
I have the cure 
Set them along
Fill them with pure
Demon stares and angel breath
Laughing enchantress burning dress
The cave here is built from dangling hairs
The floor here it sits on whispering cares
Dive with me through 
Encase all the lies
Dive with me through into your desires
Singing so softly from the mountain side 
Jump from the waterfall dance with me inside

Flutter fly, reach for the sky
Flutter fly, splash, close your eyes
Flutter dawn from nighttime’s reach 
Flutter on to the morning beach 
In the Sun, flutter on through 
Forget reality and all that’s true
In the Sun, flutter on through 
Forget reality and all that’s true

Playin’ Destiny

I knew years ago that the orange man is criminal. A jury has now confirmed it. 
Is it too little too late? I hope not.
Even though this may have sorta celebratory vibe to it, I wanted a bittersweet undertow also. This political situation in the US right now is almost unbearable … at least for me and many people I know.

Guilty As Sin

lyrics:
Since we started, we had a long way from home
now never departed, we have to stand tall
Never let it down, no threat from the wind
rain or thunder nor from any evil seed

Always i wonder, what's next on the line
this daily life plunders whatever vital that shines 

i keep on dreamin' aiming high
but this weird feeling shutters my mind

but if i'm keeping all worries behind
i should remain believin', relentless will for life to find

fightin' for no reason, ain't gonna give me peace of mind
feeding my ego, had lost so much precious time

Now it's the right time, to think what's next
healing this heart and let the mind to rest

Since We Started

Written by the super talented Gaz Brownie, and produced by the amazing Mike Fox..
This is the follow up to "Marry Me in Vegas"..  Gaz and Mike once again invited me along on this gorgeous journey to continue the story..  Gaz gives an Outstanding performance and his voice just brings that emotion across which in turn allowed me to do the same..   I'm so thrilled I could once again collaborate with these two extraordinary gentleman.   Mike Fox did his magic in production and instrumentation and brought it all together..   We hope you enjoy this as much as we did making it..

Lyrics:

I can’t believe you're back in the city 
We called our own..
You wouldn’t recognise my number 
When I was calling,  calling on your phone
You said I’m sorry it’s been too long now 
And too many stones thrown 
I changed my number then picked another 
It was a stagecoach to Basingstoke 

Chorus 
So if you wanna get into 
Some real….Real good trouble 
And leave our past behind
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble….. Every Time! 

(Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time!)

2nd Verse
So after Vegas I needed to leave 
I should've worn my heart on my sleeve
Every minute of everyday 
I thought of you and what to say 
I got a job found a place 
And for a while I was the new face.. 
All the great moments that got us through 
Were never the same without You! 

Chorus 
So if you wanna, get into
Some real…. Real good trouble 
And leave our past behind 
Then I’m ready & primed
For real good trouble 
For real good trouble … Every Time!

Every time.. oh baby baby baby... every time..
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Real good trouble... 
Every time.. Every time!

Real Good Trouble
