Great moves between time signatures, great vocals, very cool tune...

Killer guitar tone and vocals. The voice reminds me some of the singer from Screaming Trees. Great baritone.

Weekly Wave

J.Balvin VS Jay-Z & Beyoncé (Dramantic Remix)

A seasonal multi-analog and digital rocker.

Run to the cold

On a dystopian planet, a Neanderthal thaws from an iceblock; he is unconscious and, when the ice has completely melted, his reality dissolves around him. The world he once knew was not only gone but unrecognizable. "My people did this?" He ponders for a moment, and, only to find a doomed society, he becomes shocked at what he thinks his kind has done.

LYRICS:
Took a drive-by, Jimmy boy
What did I see?
Not nothing so forgetful.
Take a walk now, Freddy boy
Who do you lead?
Life's moving soothingly.

What in the world today?
How can this happen to be?
Does Existing Life Somehow?
Is it only just to see?
Here and Now.

Unified mind bathed in a 
Beauteous skin.
Nary running to the line
Too little water to swim in.
Equipped for hardship
Giving the roundabout
Go wonderfully.

What in the world today?
How can this happen to be?
Does Existing Life Somehow?
Is it only just to see?
Here and Now.

Holding on to the ropes of life
Swinging freely
Arcing on.
Crest the wave
Dance the edge
Away to a sleep, far.
Away the future
Stained, betrayed, 
Sowing seeds
The great leap.
Dreaming onward
To a bright and good
Living now
Is it real?
Many times around the sun stays here
But the moon stays down.
Past is present
Isn't done with us
Back to show that there's both.

What in the world today?
How can this happen to be?
Does Existing Life Somehow?
Is it only just to see?
What in the world today?
How can this happen to be?
Does Existing Life Somehow?
Here and Now.

Don't try so hard, Billy boy
What do you need?
You've got fortune so plentiful.
Too long it's been, Tommy boy
Please take a seat.
Life's grooving foolishly.
(Unified mind bathed in a 
Beauteous skin.
Nary running to the line
Too little water to swim in.)

So this is how it plays out.
Return to reality.
Unconstrained by breaking free.
Dwelling on fatality.

Here and Now

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.

EL ALCAZAR  (2024)

===================


Theme exclusively made with native Music Studio 2 instruments.

Composed during the year 2015 in my walks in this monument of my city.

 It is the oldest palace in use in Europe with 1,000 years old in its oldest part, and it is full of history that you can feel.

I wanted to capture the beauty and grandeur of the site where Game of Thrones was filmed (In the series it is the Palace of Dorne).

In this and final revision, the wind instruments have been further enhanced in certain phases to further mark the melody.

It is one of those places that say you have to see before you die.

Hardware. iPad 
DAW. MS 2

23 Tracks with only native instruments.

Mix. My ear.

As always, grateful for your comments.

Paco.

Alchemy and Stones
By David Husted

V1

Your an alchemist shaping my world
metal and leaf, herbs and fire
Your the pestle to ground the root
To shake my truth, without gun powder
   
ch                      
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

V2
And the stones of philosophers
The secrets of flowers golden
The halls of wise, the dreams that lie behind
The paradise we long for

ch
We were lost you see
Shattered stones with a strange alchemy
You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me

Rock Bridge

Ch Quiet

You're my mystic key reaching down deep into the
heart of me
                
V3

You take my cynical, my rigid , my narrow mind stiffening
You mix me it in your crucible, release internal conflicts
I'm tired of being wrapped up in my revolutions
Un-dress me take me inside your peaceful evolution

Your peaceful evolution
Your peaceful evolution
 

Ch  
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might 
I kind of think I might

Love You

------------------------------------------

I have a new song release scheduled for 13 DEC 24 called Alchemy and Stones. 

In one of my past song journal entries my word of the day was amalgam and I threw in the word alchemy for good measure.  During the lyric building process for this song my brain seemed to be still heavily steeped in the essence of these words. They were percolating through my thought streams. Much of the lyrical content contains imagery associated with this chemistry of the past and its mythic symbols. Our messy world provided additional ingredients that fell into the steaming crucible and began to round out this song into its final state.

There were four different songs that fed my creative spark and development process.  They were the following:

Spoon: Wild
James McMurtry: Canola Fields
Fruit Bats: Waking Up in Los Angeles
Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero

Deep bow of gratitude to all these artists.  My primary reference for the arrangement was Wild and it had the deepest structural influence on the song. The McMurtry song helped me hit on an idea for the chorus melody that seemed to stick with me and I liked his vocal delivery and cadence. The Fruit Bats was really not used at all but I loved the ohhhs in the chorus and wanted to find a way to emulate the laid back ease of them in my song.  However, my particular song style, tempo and arrangement just never allowed an entry point. The Fruit Bats song did keep the juices flowing though so that is why it still receives honorable mention in this write-up.

Finally, the  song by Taylor Swift: Anti-Hero did have a role in my song believe it or not.  If you listen to one of the synths you will hear a gated pumping sound courtesy of an Auto Pan and a Phaser-Flanger Plug-in. I really should thank a Music Producer named Ill Factor for teaching me the sound design process here. He demonstrated the technique in a YouTube video. Pretty cool.  As I have said before, I learn something new in every new song I build.  It is always deeply enjoyable for me. I also appreciate you for leaning in and listening. I wish you all the very best.

Thank You

Have a Great Weekend,  

Dave

TITLE: STRUNG & RUN
________________________________________________
LYRICS:

(Verse 1)
I gave you love
It filled the air
You vanished quick
Like you weren’t there
You left me tangled
Threads undone
You keep me strung
But then you run

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

(Verse 2)
I asked for care
You gave me none
Your silence weighed a thousand tons
I held my heart out in the sun
You keep me strung
But then you run

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

(Bridge)
Was I a moment
Just a fling
A song you hum but never sing
I won’t be left
Undone
Unsung
You keep me strung
But now I’ve sprung

(Chorus)
Life ain’t sweet like candy dreams
No Good & Plenty
Bursting seams
I need someone who truly sees
The hidden worth inside of me

All of our songs are recorded on Cubase Elements 11.

Our goal is to have our songs heard by as many people as possible. With time, we would like a Canadian studio to hear our songs and have them professionally recorded.
