————————————-
Verses IPG1:
Down like That
Down like that
If you feeling me —-where I’m at
Lemme hear you say
Down like that
***verse1
I am the the real —-number one—bonafide —-numero uno
That’s the deal—-Do or die—-
Ask—-someone—That you know
been revealed—who I am—-
don’t really need —-an intro
Real appeal—this is why—
each discussion —might —seem nouveau
Verse2
As I sink into this mix —-don’t hold me ——let go 
And I’ve got it all baby —-even ———if it’s retro 
balancing act ——equilibrium———if you -can follow 
that’s a hard pill -to swallow——now—- come on let’s go
Feel the vibe ——in your body ———like an undertow
Tried and true ——-just a fax ———and you all know-the logo 
This is how I——mix and match —drink it up —it’s pure—mojo
Bridge
Level one up—
level ——-level one up 
I get down
level ——-level one up 
sound on sound 
level ——-level one up 
you’ll come around
Verse3
a new challenge —-to take on—
come on ———let’s —get down —
Accept my imperfections
A rap addict —reborn—-
hard as steel go on 
session after session 
honed and built for action ———
Like My name was Smith and Wesson
This is where ——I belong —--is there Anymore questions?
Verse4
Bet —I—-still——- flow over this ——--right tight!
How can I miss ——-push verses ——day and night
it’s just a fix ——-till I reach—-my new ——-heights ——
still deep in the mix———level one up —-Aight!!!
there’s always chance I’ll swing through ——you know I will 
that’s how I get down ————I got you——so—chill
But for now—this is all I can do— just—-until 
That time comes ——-take a sip —drink it up—— don’t— spill

We’re Heading on Up
But, We Keep…. 
Falling Down
Gotta’ pick ourselves Up
From the cold, hard Ground
Our knees are scuffed
Our Bones are sore
Our minds confused
All those Lies…..
And so much more
Don’t give me excuses
Don’t you criticize
One day you’ll wake up
And You’ll realize
So, Pick It Up
Don’t Put ‘Em Down
Your Time is Up
Don’t Look Around
Don’t You Look Around

Estamos subindo
Mas, nós mantemos….
Caindo
Temos que nos levantar
Do solo frio e duro
Nossos joelhos estão arranhados
Nossos ossos estão doloridos
Nossas mentes confusas
Todas aquelas mentiras… ..
E muito mais
Não me dê desculpas
Não critique
Um dia você vai acordar
E você vai perceber
Então, pegue
Não os abaixe
Seu tempo acabou
Não olhe em volta
Você não olha em volta

Hello Folks!

Been quite some time, but being slow, doesn't gladly result in no productivity at all. Haha! After my Collab with @texmex-shaman (thanks again brother for this awesome experience), i was rummaging unfinished projects and thought about "whats next?". I found plenty of stuff which craves for my attention, but too close on the timeline with our first summer vacation at my parents in laws place.

So i came to the usual little drill , like "What equipment will i take with me" ,  "How will it be?" (in terms of my usual unique work and creativity flow) , and "Will i be able to do anything in the usual FY style at all?"...... turns out it was a fast super week there with a lot of various ventures, activities and wonderful weather!

I also used the possibility a few times to take the chosen stuff (i did go for the minimal setup as minimal can be) out in the garden, sat down summerstyle with a cold alc-free Radler and just worked in my DAW with self-built synths and a Studio One "Impact XT" drum preset which i manipulated and bent into the way i wanted it to be. Comparable with the first track you build in the Andrew Huang course, i went full electronic and after that week i had like 90% of it!! 

I have to thank my dear friend TexMex Shaman who did pre-listen ALOT and also encouraged me to build that intro (which took me quite a while to find the right samples, shape them and do some automations and stereo field sweeps - awesome process to push myself into this).

Going mad with the Visual was also predictable... most of you who know me by now, would've expected that, i guess? I love that process, like you have that music and it creates an audible image in your brain, but adding something as close as you want it to look like with a cover, is a complete different and somewhat relaxing process to me. 3 weeks of alot of work and manipulations. So much new stuff i did learn!

I want to thank big big time Chris Ainsworth on Flickr to give me the permission to manipulate his wonderful pic of an restorated "Tron" Arcade Machine!! (https://www.flickr.com/photos/53643381@N00/)

We're soon at the end of this summer and 2021 feels already passing way too fast and there is so much music to listen and also to continue working on. 

Love this SC community! Thanks for being out there and all this exchange!

Yours,
CMD SF

PS: If your'e interested, i start sharing the hq arts on my google drive for those who want to see more detail to the "vision" of my creation here!

Thunder Runner

A new collaboration of Freddie M, Steven W. Davis and Jason Sands with the great singer and songwriter Karla Lynette. We thank Karla very much again for her great work and professionalism.
Here you can listen and see her soundcloud page: https: //soundcloud.com/karlalynette/tracks

Tonight In Gonna Wait For You- MTM (Feat. KARLA LYNETTE)

The Reason Why

This is my second collaboration (that was actually completed in July, but this is me just getting round to uploading to SoundCloud now.) which features satosii and Rylei Nathaniel. It all started with a sequence bass guitar melody from Rylei and a beat and a guitar from satosii. Vocal chops, piano, synth  and the finished melody was done by me and we ended up with two versions.

Version one: Dial Up (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCYnsCAZQL/)
Version two: サイバーパンクな夏の夜 (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKIgQQA6rO/)

Videos for both versions are made by Rylei Nathaniel.
You Tube video made by Decan Usmic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUNKdFYc8G0
This song is slightly different from my usual genre, but I hope you find it uplifting. Many Thanks for listening and for all your support!

Dial Up (Feat. Rylei Nathaniel and satosii)

“Just a Boy” is a haunting indie-blues track by Three Photons, crafted in response to a tragic local event. With raw vocals, analog warmth, and soulful instrumentation—including Jeff Roberts on bass and Andrew Borderick on B3 organ—the song captures the ache of senseless loss and the fragility of youth. Mixed with precision and emotional care, it stands as a sonic memorial: intimate, reflective, and deeply human.

A big thank you to Jeff Roberts and Andrew Borderick for playing on....."Just a Boy".

This sad and devastating local story has been on my mind for a long time.... I'm reminded about this tragedy nearly everyday as I run along the Mississippi Blvd and see the memorial.

You move like a summer breeze
There's whistling in the trees
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
Don't leave me alone

Refrain 1 - instrumental and hum

Verse 2
You know I hate Christmas Eve
It brings me to my knees 
You're always on my mind
You were just a boy
You were just a boy

Refrain
How they took your life
What a senseless crime

Verse 3
You said you were going for a ride
But I didn't say goodbye
You're always on my mind
Don't leave me alone!

Refrain
Well they took your life 
by surprise
Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime

Verse4
And After all this time
I can't heal
and baby sometimes I can't feel....

Yeah they took your life
Yeah they took your life
Such a senseless crime

Such a senseless crime
Such a senseless crime
How they took your life

The Price (Round And Around Go The Days)
August 19, 2021 All Right Reserved

Round and around go the days
Reaching for something that slips away
Is this the price we must pay

Speaking of things that you don’t understand
It’s a crying shame
Lingerin’ too long like an overplayed song
it’s a fools game

Over and over we go
Hoping for reason to take control
Try not to let it all go

Tellin me this and you’re tellin me that
to ad nauseam
I’m goin my way and you’re going yours
To the bitter end

Round and around go the days
Reaching for something that slips away
Is this the price we must pay

The Price (Round And Around Go The Days)

Have made too much ballads in the past so this is the consequence...
No more Mr. Nice Guy 😎🤘🏼
RIP Ozzy !

Paranoid

"Wake Up Call" will be one of the next singles of Blue Return. A noisy guitar based hangover morning situation that cries out for coffee or whiskey, but definitely for movement. Wake Up. Change your life. Dance!

Don't you know that I adore you
Don't you know that I'm your biggest fan
When I call you, you hang up
9 times out of 10

Don't you say, you're feeling sorry
Don't you know there is a better plan
Any time you call my name
I don't know who I am

I think it's funny that you do not act your age
I think it's funny that you're hiding in your cave

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call 

Don't you know that I adore you, 
but I know I'm not the perfect man
What we crave for we give up
9 times out of 10

I think it's funny that we do not act your age
I think it's funny that we're hiding in our cave

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call 

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call 

Bullhorn: All day long the night may fall I do not think of you 
Seems I'm only happy for a while
All day long the night may fall I do not think it's true
Seems I'm only happy when you smile

And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you
And you better wake up, it's a wake up call for you

A Headhunter's Theme (feat. Vlad G & Max Sansalone)

An ode to ideas both good and bad
Lyrics:
Crawling up
Out of the primordial ooze
Now we're standing  erect
And walking around
Dreaming of designer shoes
We invent languages
Fire & light
So we can see each other
When we fight on Saturday night (that's right!)
The Caveman he's painting on the cave walls
But, he's not artistically satisfied
He says: there's got to more
Like a great creator
some kind of entity that oversees us all
With rules and dogma
That we all follow

I've got to write this down!
Everything permanent once it's written on a cave wall
I've got to write this down

Don't smile  so much
Because it makes me wonder what your trying to sell me
Adam Smith & Walt Disney
A couple funky capitalists
Based our society around supply & demand
Now the worlds moving at the speed of cash

I've gonna to write this down!
Once it's written in a stock ledger
You know it's real
I'm gonna write this down

I've been creating a little Rock & Roll chop shop
With Frankenstein parts 
From funk, soul and R&B
I've got Woody Guthrie in the box car
It's like skimming from an all cash bar
Les Paul said: Let's amplify those guitars

I need to re-read the Book of Love
You know it's all written down somewhere
I've got an emotional bloody nose
That's how it goes
The Book of Love only available
To those in the know
I don't know what's going happen in the world next
An AI simulation
Or a UFO guest
There going to look back at us
They going to say: We ain't gonna do it like that
They're going to write it down
I need to write this down!

Can you plumb the secrets of the universe through a guitar string? Channel the electromagnetism of guitar pickups to heighten your senses? Lonnie thinks you can! Every time he picks up that red guitar, gets those P90 pickups screaming through an overdriven amp, tubes glowing like coals, he knows he's there.... This song is Lonnie's anthem.
Another track from the "Twilight on Tunnel Road" album. On the album, it is preceded by the short instrumental "Lonnie Interlude," which presents Lonnie's more introspective side.
All guitar tracks are played on a Gretsch 2622TG with P90 pickups...and, yes, it is red (see photo of actual guitar).

For more about the album, including dozens of stunning photos of the region, check out the new Penelope's Thrill website, just launched in concert with the album:

LYRICS:
“Lonnie’s Red Guitar”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

He don’t ever smile—just does his thing.
Smells just like oil—the sweet, sweet smell of gasoline.
When he’s working on cars, he loves the engine’s purr.
And when he’s playing guitar, he travels up beyond the stars.

He don’t ever say the secrets he knows.
He goes walking out at noontime where the river flows.
And they whisper all about him, and they think that they know,
and they go, “Say hey, Lonnie, how’d you learn to play that guitar?”

Chorus: Go, Lonnie, go! Play that red guitar.
Go, Lonnie, go! Burning like a shooting star.

He’s at home with the night—the moon tangled in the trees.
Like an owl in flight, he rides the wind on silent wings.
Dreams of liquid chords—his soul’s vibrating strings.
Flesh is so hot-wired, his fingertips tap sacred springs.

When he’s playing lead his mind’s all aglow—
sees the flickers of the future flash in stereo,
and they’re cheering all around him and they think that they know,
and they go….

Chorus

When he’s sleeping his guitar’s by his side.
His six-string dreams are always amplified.
With his fingers on the fretboard, she seems like his bride…
and they go…

Chorus

Twilight on Tunnel Road

Lonnie's Red Guitar

Download

A short instrumental interlude specifically composed to lead into "Lonnie's Red Guitar" on the "Twilight on Tunnel Road" album. It introduces Lonnie's more introspective side. From the album notes: "Not particularly talkative, Lonnie can speak volumes through his guitar. Walking along Tunnel Road at dusk, he hears intimations in the sky that he'll later coax from his guitar...."

Played on a Gretsch 2622TG with P90 pickups.

::  STOWAWAY  ::

A winter take off 
A summer touch down
Leave it all behind 
Oh! A new world
With old dreams
A new time ... so it seems

Stowaway 
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! Its only in the mind...in the mind

It's simple to understand - when eyes get a clearer view
Your soul can heal in time...

Brave adventure 
Broad horizons
Everything should change - by now it should change...
A winter touch down - the clouds not lifting
One day it may fade from grey...

Stowaway
Inside information - never seen or found
Hide away! She's only in your mind...In your mind

^v^  HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN  ^v^
---------------------------------------------

Hey Babe!  What brings you here when so many seasons have gone & disappeared?
Thousands of suns & moons have drifted out of touch!
So are you gonna tell me now, we've really changed that much?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high upon a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

We all have a story and we've found our way
But are we still the people that we once were, today?
So tell me, tell me now - what, what do you see?
Do you see the angel you always saw in me?!

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous
Can we hold on to that time?
We were high up on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!

Pretty boy you've got silver hues now!
Distinguished eyes distinguish truth...
Did your wings grow wide?
Did you fly again?
Did you touch the sky - did your dreams transcend?

What's your poison Babe? What have I missed?
Do you set the stage to show your hand or will we reminisce?

We were high on a mountain and we thought that we could fly!
When the whole wide world was wondrous - can we hold on to that time? 

Davenport/Moir

High On A Mountain

Baby, I know you cannot hear me now 
 'Cause you're fast asleep 
 But I love you now 
 Colors inside your head go spinning around 
 Like a ferris wheel 
 Exploding and falling to the ground 
 Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming 
 My baby, she's dreaming 
 Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking 
 I'm just staring at the ceiling 
 Waiting for the feeling 
 Oh, oh but when she calls, 
 I know she's the one 
 Makes me want her harder 
 Makes me want to be a little stronger 
 Still I see monsters 
 Still I see monsters 

 Baby, I know you cannot hear me now 
 'Cause you're flying around 
 At the speed of sound 
 Colors inside your head go spinning around 
 Like a ferris wheel 
 Exploding and falling to the ground 
 Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming 
 My babies, she's dreaming 

 Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking 
 I'm just staring at the ceiling 
 Waiting for the feeling 
 Oh, oh when she calls 
 I know that she's the one 
 Makes me want it harder 
 Makes me want to be a little stronger 
 Still I see the monsters 
 Still I see the monsters  


 

I See Monsters

:::   THAT ONE THING   :::

When you first met he couldn't believe what you said!  - No Way!
It's not that often, that he's left with nothing to say!  To say - Touché !!
And who said that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'Cos he gets you
And that's one thing you've never felt before.

Next time you met you were so animated - so great! So great!
He knew in an instant that you'd turn his life round some day. One Day, in some way.
And who says that lightning would never strike twice in one place?

Now he's got you - 'cos he gets you -
And that's one thing you've never felt before!
And with like minds -
Like one kind
That one thing was something after all!

That One Thing

An original track about whatever you interpret it to mean. The title recognizing a day that is under represented generally speaking in music.  :) Experimenting with some ambient sounds through a fender Rhodes keyboard.

Tuesday Plans

Lightness is upon us
It's written in the air
Understanding is not here
Once the dream awakens
And slumber fades to light
Morning ushers out the night

A sinking feeling beckons
Not able to conceive
Lock it up and throw away the key
Take a breath and give it
Wash your face and hands
Grasp another set of new demands

It was a thing for danger 
that drew her to the light
Now and then it would ignite
Another chance at finding
Some ice inside the rough
Hope that one day it would be enough

A sinking feeling beckons
Not able to conceive
Lock it up and throw away the key
Take a breath and give it
Wash your face and hands
Grasp another set of Tuesday plans




Tuesday Plans

Synesthesia is main motif for this song, first because of original lyrics, then as I felt like adding it more flavor with female vocals*, & finally when I recently watched some paintings about this matter**.

*Great vocal performance by https://soundcloud.com/maraoldfield is most notorious matter in this piece, where riffing parts toggle with bass-guided proggy ones.

**Due credits to https://soundcloud.com/wouwouandthewormling for ad hoc painting of the song’s artwork.

Letra  /  Lyrics:

QUIERO SABER SI HACE CALOR  /  I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS HOT

En verano, insoportable,  /  In summer, unbearable,
todo está lleno de ruido.  /  everything is full of noise.
El invierno, silencioso,  /  The winter, silent,
que congela los sonidos.  /  which freezes the sounds.

No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold. 
No quisiera quedarme sorda  /  I don’t want to get deaf
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

Los días soleados  /  Sunny days
acompañan al estío  /  go along with the summer
y cuando llega el invierno  /  and when the winter comes
el cielo está oscurecido.  /  the sky is darkened.

No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
sin saber cuándo hace frío.  /  not  knowing when it’s cold.
No quisiera quedarme ciega  /  I don’t want to get blind
para saber si hace frío.  /  so as to know if it’s cold.

~~~~~    BREAK THE SILENCE    ~~~~~

Crowded tables, illuminations and  trees all heavy with decorations :: It's everything I need - but you're the one I see :: 

This sea of faces! It's getting crazy and dancing figures fill the space :: You are everything I see yeah! And I know that you see me!

Why take so much time? Yeah! That mirror let you down - 'cos I saw you turn around and your face gives you away - you want to be with me! 
So come on! Break the silence and let me in your heart!

The skies are clear at this time of year but all I wish is just to hear you. You're everything I see yeah and I know that you see me!

The night is falling but its feeling warmer :: You're on the move & your move's towards me :: And its written in the stars & they shine for me & you ::

Why take so much time? Yeah! That mirror lets you down - 'cos I saw you turn around and your face gives you away - you want to be with me!
So come on! Break the silence - and let me in your heart! 

This sea of faces - it's getting crazy! Dancing figures fill the space - we are running out of time - the bells are gonna chime..!
Break the silence - and let me in your heart.

Break The Silence

All rights reserved  4/15/2017

Is it any wonder that I see u 
Is it any wonder that I care
Holding on to pieces in the middle of the afternoon
Is it any wonder I go there

Pictures of a place and time that once had been
Feels just like a warm breath on my skin
Rolling back the pages of a dream that has been left behind...
take me to that place inside my mind

Is it any wonder that I wander
To a space so deep inside my mind..
Wading through the increments of all that we have ever known
is it any wonder that I do

Pictures of a place and time that once had been
Feels just like a warm breath on my skin
Rolling back the pages of a dream that has been left behind...
take me to that place inside my mind

Any Wonder

All is Well

If you're looking for a reason
for the things you need today
familiar faces and some mild diversions
it's just another way

All is well...

With the dawning of the season
could I spend some time with you
anticipating all that we would see
'fore autumn winds break through

All is well
All is well
all is well can't you see

Are you're looking for a reason
why I do the things I do
a silky body and some citrus notes
don't mind if I do

All is well
All is quite well
all is well can't you see

mmmmmmmmm.......

All is Well

Frayed and tattered fabric fills the air
Capturing a trace of what was there
Lingering in sullen places as if time stands still
Eventually...

Shadows cast their way into the room
seeking light and quelling it too soon
Relishing in ruination no one can see
Eventually...

Celebrate this time and leave it all behind
Serendipity is in your sight 
Celebrate the sun and leave the rest undone
Whatever you do
It's all up to you

Rays of light meander through the pane
Sheds itself on any who remain
Ruminating in the hallway, seeking someone new
Eventually...

Celebrate this time and leave it all behind
Serendipity is in your sight 
Celebrate the sun and leave the rest undone
Whatever you do
It's all up to you

Celebrate the Sun

Let's go out for dinner!

Lago di Garda

Let’s go take the train Stazione Verona
Through Peschiera to 
Desenzano del Garda
Stepping out down Via Angela Merici 
His proud white linen shirt
Her Polka dot blue twirling skirt

They sip two cool glasses of Montonale
And someone lights a pair of Nazionale

Lago di Garda, Lago di Garda

Gentle breeze – the invincible heat
The menu propaganda
Draws them to their favourite seats
“Salute!” toast the peninsular silhouette
Their table is the stage 
The lake a debut movie set

They taste the foil-baked bream with lemon garlic oil
Savour Lugana San Vigilio

Hitch a launch – home - across the purple depths 
That turn to Emerald
Upon the clefting keel

Shots of Mantovani Limonchello
Dark blue mountains watch the scene below

Lago di Garda

Head over to the awesome @fadysporz to listen to some wonderful indie gems! 

i don't know
where to go
where to flow
where myself has been

if i was
here with me
'now!' i'd say,
'now i'm free'
but i am somewhere else and out of reach

sometimes my mind games
keep me under control
there's nothing i could do
my chemical imbalance turns into
fire

i know the fire
it keeps me under control
it's never far away
it never takes too long, you know
one, two, here it comes
fire

everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
all my me's are running up and down
everything is an up and down
everything is an up and down
i'm trapped by this
fire

Lyrics

Verse 1
wanna walk forever
in a day
walk right next to you
wanna take it down
to the rivers edge
see what we can do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

verse 2
crazy days and crazy nights
it's who we are
you know we'll make it through
nothing lasts forever
we'll carry on
doing what we do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Verse 3
wanna walk forever
in a day
walk right next to you
wanna take it down
to the rivers edge
see what we can do

refrain
you must be strong
to carry on
doing what you do
oh yeah
doing what you do

Outro
you must be strong
you must be strong....

Walk forever

Tears of joy ......
