Summer Nights Of LOVE

Corona Parano (On rigole pas d'offence)

The lyrics to this song are a variation on those in The Riverton's “Papa Oom Mow Mow” released in 1962, and used most famously by The Trashmen in “Surfin' Bird” in 1963.
     These nonsense words create a deep and compelling rhythm which I felt would be very appropriate to this track - which is really about comparing a heavy 4:4 rock beat to an equally heavy 5:4 rock beat.
     While classical, traditional and jazz based music are quite comfortable with eccentric rhythms, Rock has not been so (with a few notable exceptions, such as Pink Floyd's “Money”).   I wrote this song to try to figure out why.   I still don't know why, but here is the song.

Some kind of Covid19 Corona song made at home, while feeling a bit seperatec from the world, and if going outside following so called AHA rules, having minimum contact to people and friends and to hopefully get not catched by the virus.

Cold Turkey Run

Eureka moment!  A bright idea
So challenging in these times
Well full steam ahead as the coast looks clear
Out of reality
Loosening mentality
Its going to be a long year

CHORUS
Out of the blue sky and into the red
Out of the blue sky and into the red
The rain is teaming
The people screaming
The pilots off his head
Out of the blue sky and into the red

Well the history books curse on many a name
Yet morality isn't a crime
I'll remember you as society's stain
Out of reality
Loosening mentality
Its going to be a long year

CHORUS

Out Of The Blue Sky

Back with the wonderful Georg Boehme on tenor sax and Stephan Lipinski on guitar with this original, We Gotta Bring This Together.  Such talented musicians!  Love what they do

Thanks as always for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

We Gotta Bring This Together - Georg Boehme / Stephan Lipinski / Jamie Rhind

So we are stuck in our own ways
I try to spice things up but your eyes have long since glazed

CHORUS
Perhaps in a sad song
Is where we truly belong
Stuck in a sad space
Like half of our fellow race
A tale with a sad sting
You never felt anything
Are we just plain sad or just a phase?
[We are stuck in our own ways
We sunk without a trace
We are stuck in our own ways]

How we struggled through hard times
Searching for some true love but true love is hard to find

CHORUS

So we are stuck in our own ways
But I will break free from this glue one of these days

Stuck In Our Own Ways

This solo Project,  " In the Garden of Good and Evil "  contains a vicarious experience of feelings and emotions.   

It's a Pop, Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Classical, RnB & Soul Influenced album.  . 

I played all the Bass, Keyboards, Guitars, and sang all the Vocals.  I had the incomparable Jon "Skins"  McCann on the drums, The incredibly talented Rod Campbell on trumpet.  

The studio engineering was done at Sonic Studios by Chris Johnson and my tracks Mastered by Master Engineer Scott Lake.  Who btw did a stereo mix and a 5.1 Surround sound stereo mix. Super Rad! You've got to hear that 5.1 mixes!

Thanks! and all the Best! to you and yours! 

SinCerely,

Chris Blake
