Some rough’n’ready rocking with REKHA….

Too much time with over 300 passed away every day.

THE 300

A dependable man
Drives his kids to school
Takes his time from work
Doesn’t miss an event
Or a single bedtime story	

A standout woman
Young and old they need her
It’s her life’s work
Behind every event
And never needing glory

You’re gonna be
One of three hundred
You’re gonna be
One of the lucky
You’re gonna see
How you blundered
Didn’t have to be 
Three hundred
Two hundred
One hundred

Just a boy and a girl
A hand, a touch
A caress, a first kiss
Don’t miss a glance
Never straying afar

A curly haired child
Tent torchlight at night
An adventurous life
Doctor, astronaut, explorer 
A movie star

You’re gonna be
One of three hundred
You’re gonna be
One of the lucky
You’re gonna see
How you blundered
Didn’t have to be 
Three hundred
Two hundred
One hundred

They’re all together
The three hundred
They’re all together
The three hundred
They’re all together
The three hundred

You’re gonna be
One of three hundred
You’re gonna be
One of the lucky
You’re gonna see
How you blundered
Didn’t have to be 
Three hundred
Two hundred
One hundred

FOREVER LOVE

The first time I saw you
The last time I didn’t think of you
The one and only moment
The air, the time stood still
I could never get my fill

I will always remember
I will always look back
An instant for my ages
An endless fountain
My source of strength, my muse

Forever love
Forever my love
Forever in love
Forever love

The first time you touched me
The last time you held me
A current through my veins,
my heart, my soul
I could never be alone

Never be alone
Never be alone

I will always remember
I will always look ahead
An eternity together
An endless voyage
The wind in my sails, my life

An eternal life
An eternal life together

Forever love
Forever my love
Forever in love
Forever love

Forever love
Forever my love
Forever in love
Forever love

For better or worse
To hold and behold
For rich and poor
This day forward
Forever love
Forever in love

Photography: Thanks go to Nigel and Libby Hume at Hume Photography.

Now the winter is nearly upon us, I thought it was time to do some more recording. I decided to use my nylon string guitar for this song, imagining the setting: arriving at a remote beachside bar in the sunshine, to discover the bar owner has taken the day off.............
Lyrics:
There’s a sign…… on the door
Says owner……. is away
Weather………looking fine 
Don’t feel like working ……….today

I should be back by sunset
If I’m not just close the door
Even so you’re welcome to stay
Make yourself at home
You can sleep on the floor
Don’t feel like working……….today

There’s plenty……. of ice cold beer
Help yourself ……..pull up a chair
Leave some money ……….in the till
You can sit ……anywhere. 

Put up your feet
Maybe take in the sky 
Let your worries 
Float away
Pull your hat down
Over your eyes
Don’t feel like working ………..today

Instrumental

I should be back by sunset
If I’m not just close the door
Even so you’re welcome to stay
Make yourself at home
You can sleep on the floor
Don’t feel like working……….today

There’s a sign…… on the door
Says owner……. is away
Weather………looking fine 
Don’t feel like working ……….today

Don't Feel Like Working Today

Music & Lyrics: Francisco Repilado (popularized by the Buena Vista Social Club)
Instrumental performance: Wypernet
Vocal: Jan Schonander

Thanks very much to Wypernet https://soundcloud.com/wypernet for allowing me to add a vocal to his wonderful instrumental.

"Chan Chan" is a 1984 son composition by Cuban trovador Compay Segundo. It was first recorded in 1985 by Compay Segundo's own group. In 1987, he approached Eliades Ochoa, who agreed to record a version with the Cuarteto Patria. However, EGREM did not release these recordings until the second half of the 1990s. In November 1995, Compay recorded a new version in Madrid for his Antología, released on CD the following year. In March 1996, Compay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa and other veteran Cuban musicians recorded a new version of the song as part of the Buena Vista Social Club project. The song became the opening track of their eponymous album and the group's signature song, thereby achieving international fame.

Lyrically, the song is set on the beach and revolves around two central characters called Juanica and Chan Chan. The most complete explanation says: 'The song relates the story of a man and a woman (Chan Chan and Juanica) who are building a house, and go to the beach to get some sand. Chan Chan collects the sand and puts it on the jibe (a sieve for sand). Juanica shakes it, and to do so she shakes herself, making Chan Chan embarrassed. [...] The origin of this tale is a farmer song learnt by Compay Segundo when he was twelve years old.

The most recognizable part of the song is its chorus, whose lyrics are as follows:

De Alto Cedro voy para Marcané
Llego a Cueto voy para Mayarí

From Alto Cedro I go to Marcané
I get to Cueto, then head for Mayarí

Resung, remixed & remastered. A different mic and less effects on the vocal make a big difference. Also went for a more intimate delivery.

ALWAYS ON MY MIND

My love
I hope you hear you this song
I can’t be without you for too long
And although, sometimes you’re on your own
You’re always, always on my mind

My love 
When you are far 
I can see your smile
I remind myself of your touch
You’re always on my mind

When I get lonely
I close my eyes
I think of you and then I smile

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

My love
Let me know you feel the same way
I wan’t to feel your love every single day
And although, sometimes its not so easy
Remember,  you’re always on my mind

My love, 
When you are near
I can’t lose, I lose all my fear
I know just how to begin
I reach out, I touch your skin

Into my arms, my arms my love
You’re my only love, you’re my only love

Yeah my darling, you’re my only love
You’re my only love

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind

Mes Failles (My Flaws)

this is a song about not listening to everything you hear, or hearing everyone you listen too

Whispers In The Wind

You're invited to jet set around the globe to the world's coolest night spot destinations with Shade Structure. 
From the new EP "Short Songs For Tall Minds" Soundcloud 2022

Lyrics:
I live for the fireworks of the night
Supersonic
Stereophonic
I'm taking all my meals in flight
I love the music
I love the nightlife
Gin & Tonic
It's euphonic
That's ironic
It's emotion that I ghostwrite

Chorus
I've got first world problems
And Second Life Blues
Let the algorithm choose
I've got first world problems
I've got Second Life Blues
Let the algorithm choose
With the algorithm
You know you can't lose
Let the algorithm choose

Modes About Me - Poop - C major - 116 bpm

Music/lyrics: Composed, written and performed by Mark David McClellan

lyrics:

Berry lemonade on a summers day
Parade around the town in your chains like a slave
Oh you think you are brave
You're not
You're a disgrace
Get away from
Sheesh
Do I smoke leaf
Pass her down
Pass her on down
Pass her all around until the wheels fall off
I fell off
I think my wheels fell off
Fell off

Modes About Me Pt. 1

Poop

Driving by a cupcake shop after hours, I witnessed a horde of rats devouring a stack of cupcakes left out in their trash. I said, "Cupcake Rats...that sounds like a pop punk band!" And, with an assist on lyrics from my brah Roger Vaughn...on the vocals from an incredible StudioPros vocalist...and on the mix from our buddy Peter Pope...a delightfully silly confection was born. I'm playing all instruments, and cut the drum loops.
LYRICS
Cupcake Rats, masters of the night
A sticky-sweet blight on polite society
Cupcake Rats

In the alley, they're on a mission
Sugar-starved rats near Cupcake Kitchen
In the moonlight, a shinny vision
Castaway cakes some bum has pissed in
Scurry, scurry, in a hurry
A seedy feeding frenzy, furry ball of fury
Chocolate icing, so enticing
A gutter buttercream dream in food porn lighting

When we're sleeping, rats are feasting
Cupcake Rats, masters of the night
A sticky-sweet blight on polite society
Yeah, that's right, Cupcake Rats
I know you saw that rodentia, didntcha?
Cupcake Rats!!

The air is grimy, slimy smells
Putrid sewer steam, swirled with sea salted caramel
Loaded pistols, assorted sprinkles
Slashing, gnashing teeth--all intermingled
Teaming vermin are a-squirming
Mangled angel food cake, squeaky rat sermons
Be sympathetic, it's pathetic
Most of those rats are Type II diabetic
CHORUS
GUITAR SOLO

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. Mostly I write about the human condition.

I am always looking for a guitar player that wants to collaborate. Would be fun to find a real drummer also.

A Gat is a cat in Catalan - it all makes sense if you’re me. The (s) stands for many collaborators.

I encourage everybody on SC to listen more and be less transactional.
