BPM: 114

This instrumental is based on the sound of multiple tracks of Strats, synths  and electric bass.
It sounds a lot like a song of the eighties for the keyboards chords and the palm muted guitar parts.
The drums are programmed and they are based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. The drums are based on round robin samples which give to the patterns a natural feel.

The instrumental is available for sale on beatstars.com\gamandello or you can enjoy the full track on:

The track has been recorded, mixed and mastered on AKAI MPC Live and software.

White Wedding - Billy Idol Cover - Reggae Version

### The Rose and The Rope by Laxá

COVER ART BY FRASER CORMACK - Angry sky over Mosstodloch

In Ísafjörður, Iceland, Laxá's evocative piece "The Rose and The Rope" unfolds without words, instead conveying emotions through its music. With a blend of 80s reggae-influenced bass and post-rock guitars and strings, the composition creates a rich, immersive experience.

Bjarne Guðjohnsen's bass pulses with the deep, resonant groove reminiscent of 80s reggae, setting the stage for the journey. Matthias Helguson's drums join with a steady pace, their beats echoing through the fjord's stillness. Jussi Siglarson's guitar melodies soar and dive, embodying the post-rock essence with layers of emotion. Mike Taylor's keyboards add ethereal textures, blending with the ensemble's soundscape.

The Heima Kvartett—Lisbeth Heima (violin), Sif Árnadóttir (violin), Natasha Guðmundsdóttir (viola), and Ída Sigurðardóttir (cello)—enrich the piece with their strings. Lisbeth and Sif's violins intertwine like fragile rose vines, while Natasha's viola adds haunting undertones and Ída's cello provides depth and strength.

Together, the music represents the delicate balance between beauty and resilience, akin to the rose and rope symbolizing life's contrasts. The composition evolves, capturing Iceland's rugged beauty and emotional depth.

### The Origin of the Title

The title "The Rose and The Rope" has a poignant backstory. During a tour, Jussi Siglarson and Bjarne Guðjohnsen stayed in a remote village. Their host, an elderly woman, had a unique artifact hanging on her wall—a dried rose tied with a rugged rope. Intrigued, Jussi asked about its significance.

The woman recounted a tale from her youth. During a harsh winter, the village was cut off by snowstorms, and supplies were scarce. The young woman tended a rose bush through the winter, finding solace in its survival. Her future husband, determined to support the village, crafted a rope to brave the snow and gather provisions.

In spring, as the village emerged from the cold, the rose bloomed, symbolizing resilience. On their wedding day, the man gave the rose tied with the rope to the woman, representing their balance of beauty and strength.

Moved by this story, Laxá adopted "The Rose and The Rope" as the title, reflecting the harmonious blend of emotions and themes in their music. It symbolizes unity, strength, and beauty amidst adversity, encapsulating the essence of their composition.

The Rose And The Rope by Icelandic Postrock band  Laxá

This is a song that I wrote about my drive to and from work through 30 miles of traffic each way, five days per week. 

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT
(Ron Snyder)

I’M TRYING TO SHARE THE ROAD
AND AM ALWAYS BOXED IN
THE ROAD IS CLEAR AHEAD OF ME
EXCEPT I AM HELD WITHIN

DRIVERS IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLD
THAT DON’T HAVE A CLUE
ONCE A POKE ALWAYS A POKE
SOMETHING I KNOW TO BE TRUE

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

I’M TRYING TO GET THERE
AND THEY’RE ALL AROUND ME
NOTHING’S GETTING BY THEM
AND I WANT TO BREAK FREE

I LOOK FOR AN OPENING
AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE
WHY ARE YOU IN THE LEFT LANE
I NEED TO GO ON A TEAR

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN


-----------  GUITAR JAM ------------------------


DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

THE DRIVING’S BEEN TOUGH
LIKE IN A VIDEO GAME
WHEN YOUR TIME IS ON THE LINE
YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME

DRIVING LIKE YOU’RE ON A MISSION
IS YOUR ONLY HOPE
EXCEPT FOR ALL THE DAYDREAMERS
THAT CAUSE A REAL CHOKE

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
BEFORE I RUN YOU DOWN
DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN

DRIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT (3X)
GOTTA GET TO THE NEXT TOWN
CHICAGO TRAFFIC (3X)
IT REALLY GETS YOU DOWN

Strange Experience

I constructed this track and I asked Annie if she felt inspired to put any words to it. she said "yes, defo, if her dream fairies come through with them." And they did ... seems they couldn't wait... which was great ... except that it was at four o'clock this morning!

Here's what came through:

WORDS:

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown.
But over the years, I realised .... it was real, it was my loved ones singing me home.

When the day is dark, and the night is long...in the still, small hours I hear their song.
The road less travelled can be full of stones, but their song makes the journey seem not so long.
When I meet the devil, at the crossing, and I have to choose right, from wrong,
I follow their attunement, and soon find, that where once I was weak, I am strong

Now the sun is glowing red, and the shadows growing longer, their song is sounding out... even louder
Rising to a crescendo, as every sacrifice is cheered, every last injury and pain is honoured,
Pulling me up the steep, craggy pathway of that last mountain I have to climb,
Until I’m released from the valley of the shadow of death, ruled by Old Father Time.

I thought at first it was a dream, just a childhood fantasy that had grown and grown.
But over the years ...I've seen that it’s real, and that it’s my loved ones singing me home.
