super track brother, enjoying this dynamite rock

Yes a bit "alternatif Punk-Rock" great energy, excelent solid Rock song.  Nice tonic voice.

Love the instrumentation and vocals sung with lots of power and gusto.

yea....this one rocks...well done....love the guitar work here alongside the crunching rhythm

great energy in vocals and instrumentation, powerful work

Goddamn, I need to go run through a fucking wall now haha

Happy New Year from The Welcome Parade!!

We hope 2022 will be the start of something quite exceptional for everyone.  I think we are all due a bit of a respite from the current state of affairs! 

Lyrics:
I'm moving slow and steady
wind your watch here comes the ready
looking so unsteady
I think you had enough already

Time is slowly finding time to leave you without time
now you've seen the time you've taken was you're own decline

1234

I'm moving slow and steady
wind your watch here comes the ready
looking so unsteady
I think you had enough already

The Welcome Parade is proud to release our first two tracks of 2022

The Ready - This piece starts with our usual Skype call and some drinks, after a few rounds and a lack of focus that requires another call. The next call we dedicate to getting the music business accomplished before we drift off topic. First on the list to complete is "The Ready" a heavy piece that has a unique frenzy to it.  

Edges with a bit of fury and finesse,  Jay's tense vocal work pushes this beautifully in the punk direction.  Perhaps something you might encounter in a Tarantino movie...preferably one with Selma Hayek in it! Thom with his top shelf fret board dancing, creates a complex texture that keeps you on the edge of your seat.  Finally Jeff keeping the piece grounded with some pounding bass work! 

On a final note...this track gets me off the hook for a request made to me by Jay's bride!  To have Jay perform something as an Englishman!  Huzzah and mission accomplished! 

Not Today - See "Not Today"

I hope one day the world looks at us and says...we got to get these guys together!  If not I am just very happy to have a couple of friends with a musical connection that exists as something so natural, it is difficult to keep the components separate, to realize where one ends and another begins. 

You guys rock and I am so glad to have you as friends and musical companions...rock on mi amigos!

===== Lyrics =====
The phone cord
The stereo
The television wires
Are twisting
And all I hear
Is your voice in my mind

Can I call you?
Can I call you?

All I know is
Tomorrow
Is forty years away
And I wonder
And wander
Through the land of time and faith

Could I want you?
Could I want you?

My head
And my heart
And my mouth
Have all run dry
And I wait for
Wait for
One droplet from the sky

Could I have you?

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater

A sinking doubt
Won’t wash out in the flood
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup
Could we decide
If this could be enough
A tidal wave
Can’t fill a broken cup

(Drinking saltwater
Saltwater)

‘Cause with you I’m drinking saltwater
Never get enough
An ocean full
But I’m still hollow
Reaching for your cup
With you I’m drinking saltwater
With you I’m drinking saltwater

(Drinking saltwater)

Mémoire

Evil Came to Town

I put out acoustic versions of of a couple of my songs last year and found they were well received - one even has more plays than the multitrack version. So that gave me the idea for this song.

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

The song is a song and that's as good as it gets,
There's no need for any electronic effects,
When the singer sings a song in an ordinary voice,
Without auto-tune it's the obvious choice,

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

The guitar drives the tune as the strings vibrate
Blended with the voice it sounds really great,
The amplifier's useless in the corner of the room,
The power of the music's in its simple tune,

Unplugged music, as nature intended,
If it sounds this good there's no need to defend it,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,
It's songs like these that can be recommended,

It's songs like these that can be recommended,
Unplugged music, as nature intended,

Look around
What you see
It is quite another view
What you are
What you'll be
It's the mystery of you

You don't know
Try to find
But you'll never know the truth
There's a lock
On your heart
If you tear this lock apart

You will see
The daybreak rainbows
Waiting for
Showers of your rain
You are not insane
You are not insane
You are not insane

No

Pedestals of greatest minds caught in acid blast
Temples crumble, masses rumble to the Neverlast
Storm is coming, hide you child in your endless dream
Reality is a monster, it ain't what it seems

Crash you down and paint you gray, that's what she would do
But reality is over now, the dream belongs to you
A better life inside your mind, learn to make it real
Heal the masses, let them see, let them live and feel

Someday
I'll find a light there
Inside my soul so blue
I'll find a path that's true
I'll tramp it all the way

Slowly
I'll step inside this
Door to ancient light
Forget the concrete night
And follow to the day

Maybe
You will follow
And you will go my way
All pain will go astray
And we will be as one

News: Well a lot I could say...but going through some issues right now.  So I am on occasionally...though a lot less than  I would like.   You are always my peeps and  I love you clouders as brothers and sisters.   Peace and love my friends!

Musician, Songwriter, Recording, Mixing, Mastering, Producer and general noise maker.   If you don't get that..that's on you!  

Tainted Icarus has a protest/grunge/rock type of feel.   Sharing a similar vibe and feel of great bands like Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Cult. 

Slogging it out my home studio and trying to understand the deep sorcery that is Music Recording, Mixing, Mastering.    Jesus if someone had told me how damn complicated the topic was... I might have reconsidered.   

I keep it real, listen to your music and comment.  Be supportive of myself and others and I have your back.  I stay out of the rampant game playing and focus on finding real people making music. Is that you? If so pull up a chair and PM me.  

It takes me a while to make the rounds.  If you are releasing a new track and want me to stop by sooner... send me a PM.  

Relax and enjoy a tune...or make one.  No need to run around in that haze of fury.  Peace and love!
