Encore des sonorités qui accrochent bien l’oreille...et toujours l’ambiance generale tres plqisante   Ca le fait !

Hm, such an unusual style of the rock. It reminds me the experimental, psychedelic, krautrock of the mid 60s. Love the quality of the mix and guitar tones.

is this a band or a single person? its amazing

C'est superbe! Une atmosphère captivante. Dommage que le morceau fasse plus de 10 minutes.. Si tu le raccourcis un peu tu peux le "monétiser", ça vaut le coup !

Some kind of a best of from January 2023 to April 2024

From A New Year To One More Easter

I look at the sky
I am fine inside 
I found my way

I put this aside
I kept a straight line
I found my way

All the gloomy thoughts
Are now gone away
I found my way

I wonder now why
I found this so tough
It is hard to say
	
I look at the sky
You stand on my side
I found my way

You helped me so well
It is a blessing 
As I was away

All the gloomy thoughts
Are now gone away
I found my way

I wonder now why
I found this so tough
It is hard to say
	
All the dirty stuff
I made you endure
Won’t happen again
It has to be said

I look at the sky
You stand on my side
I found my way

I put this aside
I kept a straight line
I found my way

I Found My Way (A New Year)

He came in disarray
Daddy please answer me
Is there an end to life?
I don't know why we have to die.

Will the sky everlast?
The Earth will stay at last?
The seas will always be?
I don't know why we have to die.

You know little kitty
The answer is not easy
I don't know why we have to die.

I know one thing for sure
My love for you is pure
But I don't know why we have to die.

He said Daddy hold me.
Kiss me and tickle me.
I need something funny
But I don't know why we have to die.

Tell me fancy stories
About me becoming a bea
Flying would be so easy
But I don't know why we have to die.

You know little kitty
The answer is not easy
I don't know why we have to die.

I know one thing for sure
My love for you is pure
But I don't know why we have to die.

The Question (remastered)

The rain is falling
Upon my head
The goose is flying
I go ahead
The summit away
Tears up the clouds
My brain is on hold
I'm getting bold

The midnight sun
Lights up the ground
There is no fear 
Inside my mind

I'm all alone 
In the mountains
From time to time 
I feel the pain
Rain keeps falling
Upon my head
I keep walking
I go ahead

The midnight sun
Lights up the ground
There is no fear 
Inside my mind

I'll reach this town
In a due time
There is no fear 
Inside my mind

Midnight Sun

The sun slowly
Rises through the fog
The neighborhood is still quiet

I take the bus
To the harbour
For the last time
I watch the view

The boat is here 
It’s time to go
Will I come back 
You never know

The shore was white
When I arrived
It is now grey
Spring is coming

Seagulls right now
Are gone away
Will they come back?
You never know

The boat is here 
It’s time to go
Will I come back 
You never know

Part of my mind 
Is still up there
Will I come back
You never know

The Boat (Outro)

I leave the floor in ecstasy
My mind so far was quite fuzzy

It's pretty hard to be steady
My mind so far was quite fuzzy

From where I stand, all is fancy
I love my life the way it is
Though in the past, I was gloomy
I love my life the way it is

I used to be very silly
I try to be more focused here

From where I stand, all is fancy
I love my life the way it is
Though in the past, I was gloomy
I love my life the way it is

In Ecstasy

CRUEL

TIME TO GET BUSINESS STRAIGHT
Original song by Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators
Rock'n roll reinterpretation by Overdrive

Syncopated vocals have become something of a rarity these days. Most singers prefer to create melodic lines that fit perfectly into the tempo of the song -- because it's much simpler, the vocals can be created in one go, on the same day, without too much effort. But every now and then a talented singer comes along who decides to break the tempo of their vocals in an absolutely original way. 

This is the case of soul singer Nicole Willis in the song "Time To Get Business Straight". 

The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely fascinated by the broken rhythm of her vocals. And the way the second part of the song repeated the first part made it clear that those vocals were far from improvised -- on the contrary, each intricate part was designed to be there, as if it were a mathematical structure.

Check out the original version:

https://youtu.be/5fYKRt6ZtJk

I extracted the vocals using Ultimate Vocal Remover and realized that the melodic line fit very well into rock songs. In fact, they were even the provisional vocals for the song "Rocket", before the amazing singer Sumi took over the microphone and did a brilliant job. But the idea of using Nicole's vocals remained and after the good response to the cyberpunk reinterpretation of "I'm Bored", I thought it would be interesting to attempt a rock'n roll reinterpretation of "Time to Get Business Straight".
 
Of course, I tried to get in touch with Nicole Willis during the process of creating the song and after the track was posted on Soundcloud. She currently lives in Finland and is still active as a singer in her sixties. Here's one of her most recent performances:

Her social networks, on the other hand, seem to be rarely accessed and I've had no success in contacting her. Damn, it would have been an unforgettable collab, I'm sure of it. 😄

Hope you enjoy my rock'n roll version of this soul music classic.

Time To Get Business Straight

In my saddest dreams
Never thought I'd be
Living out
This parody of a life I lead
It seems
The light in my heart has dimmed
Now I'm frosting over
Alone and nowhere
Again
So let it rain

Never really been a lonely man, but now
I feel the weight of this silence

Never really had much of a plan for love
But now the hardness of solace
Is crushing me
So let it rain

It feels like everything
Is falling apart at the seams
And it's all that I can do sometimes
To hang on

But then I hear the drip-drop pitter-pop
Little streams gently
Running down the window pane
Drip-drop pitter-pop
Little things
Reminding me
There's hope that I'll be happy again

So just let it rain

Never really been an empty man, but now
I see how hollow my life is

All by myself, I've never felt alone
But now this desolate twilight
Is swallowing me

So let it rain

Dear God, looking down from your majesty
Can you see the walls closing in on me
You know I've been faithful and tried so hard , and I'll be true
So please send me

Drip-drop pitter-pop
Little streams gently
Running down the window pane
Drip-drop pitter-pop
Little things
Reminding me
There's hope that I'll be happy again

So just let it rain

Let It Rain

La cité perdue d’Ozalara

Je rêve de toi Ozalara
Je t’ai perdue. Les dieux l’ont vu.
La démesure et la luxure
Ont provoqué leur colère drue

Ozalara
Ozalara

Cité radieuse au commencement
Tu as déçu le firmament
Il suffisait tout simplement 
De respecter leurs commandements

Ozalara
Ozalara

La mer béante t’a engloutie
Un soir de mai. J’étais partie.
Cela n’a duré qu’un instant
Pour disparaitre éternellement.

La mer béante t’a engloutie
Un soir de mai. J’étais partie.
Cela n’a duré qu’un instant
Pour disparaitre éternellement.

Ozalara, cité perdue
Tu fus jadis un havre de paix
La démesure et la luxure
T’ont entrainée au fond de la baie

Ozalara, je t’aimais tant
Mais tu mérites ton châtiment.
Tu as perdu, depuis longtemps, 
De vue le ciel, 
La terre, tes commandements

Ozalara

Je rêve de toi Ozalara
Je t’ai perdue. Les dieux l’ont vu.
La démesure et la luxure
Ont provoqué leur colère drue
