I see a red door and want to paint it blue💓🤟

Love it - I'm getting a 'Talking Heads' vibe

Excellent, creative piece. Good choice on the synths sounds and I like how the vocal is placed in the mix 👍

Hi Gats- HNY2025 - beautiful and positive - and now, hopefully a daily listen for me - thank you for this positive song!

This one really pushes the libido button with that Roxy feel. Such a cool effect as it pulsates and jams away. Enjoyed it!

OPEN DOORS

You don’t have to look
You don’t have to hide
You don’t have to sneak
You just walk on through
More than a little bit
More than a little bit

Hold your head high
Hold, see them eye to eye
Hold, so easy to try
So easy to try
You’re gonna get by

Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through
Open doors

Hold

You don’t have to shout
You don’t have to run
Be afraid
Just walk on through
Step through another
Step through another

Hold your heart high
Hold, don’t ask why
Hold, no need to be shy
You’re gonna get by

Hold

Walk on through
Open doors
Walk on through

Trying something a bit different here, or am I?
Working on the old fashioned broken heart style song, such as "Sealed With A Kiss".  Haven't tried this before so we'll see how it comes out. 


Valentines Heart

Ok(Not Ok)✝️🖤🎶

Im not ok!!
Im not ok!!

Look deep inside your heart
You know this to be true 
Things will never be the same
They were always meant to change
But not for me!!
I never felt that way!!
My arms are tied
Ive been left behind
And now Im not Ok!!
Im sorry I feel this way
No its not Ok!!

Im not Ok!!
Im not Ok!!

So take my life!!
Watch me die!!
I don't care no more!!
So take my life!!
Watch me die!!
I am not Ok!!
So take my life!!
Watch me die!!
I don't care no more!!
I waited my whole life for this!!
Just to watch it end?
So change my life!!
Watch me die!! Watch me die again!!
I waited my whole life for this!!
Just to watch it end?🖤

(Verse 1)
The battle cries out, a melody of steel
The air is thick with smoke, the scent of death you smell
A warrior's heart beats strong, a fire in his heart
He fights with fury, and for treasures to bring home

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where heroes never die
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(Verse 2)
The battlefield is silent, the smoke begins to clear
The fallen lie in slumber, their spirits filled with joy
For they have earned their place, around the table in Odin's hall
Where warriors gather, and their stories will never die

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

(SOLO)

(Chorus)
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise
A feast of mead and laughter, beneath a sky of gold and fire
They raise their horns, and sing out loud
Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die


Valhalla, a warrior's paradise, where legends never die

LORRIDI

A Warrior’s Paradise

I am the fish that learned to walk
I am the monkey that can talk
A genius without a brain
A heart beat that feels no pain...

So won't you please, please remember
This night with me

Oh I hope, you can remember
This night, this night with me

I don't want to know what you know
I don't want to go where you go
I don't want to see what you see
I don't want to be what you be

So won't you please, please remember
This night with me

Oh I hope, you can remember
This night, this night with me

Beautiful girl, so far away
I wanna see you, everyday
I see your eyes, your face your lips
When I'm with you, time just slips
Away, away, away

So I hope I can remember
This night with you
Oh won't you please, let me remember
This night, this night with you

'As sunlight obscures the stars
By day
So too does wakefulness obscure the fact
You're still dreaming

As sunlight
Obscures the stars
By day
So too does wakefulness
Obscure the fact
You're still dreaming...'

(with thanks to Peter J Carroll who allowed us to use his words at the end of the song)

This Night

An easy listening and uplifting electro-pop track.
I used for the first time the Logic Pro "Session Player" automated track on bass, piano and drums, that are following a specific chord progression. It may sounds like an easy job but I can tell you is not :-)
I hope you enjoy it and reach a nice ruby mood like the lady in the picture.
Thanks for listening

This is new take on a song that Rodolfo and I first worked on 4 years ago. He had always imagined it with fine saxophone and great backing harmonies and now that Continental Collision has a wonderful pool of talent to draw on, that has become a reality, thanks to Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme's beautiful contributions.
The song has been given so much more feeling and emotion.
Thanks to them and Rodolfo for believing that we could succeed  and thanks to all of you for listening.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision featuring Ce Mastro & Georg Boehme

I don't know what I've done wrong?
I don't know why you have gone?
Though I hope some day,
When I whisper your name,
We'll be together.
But today's too soon.
When I think of you, I dream.
Yet still, I'm a stranger,
Yet still, I'm a stranger in your heart.

Sometimes I feel like a fool.
Never knowing whether you'll,
Give me hope some day,
Still I call your name.
We'll be together.
Is today too soon?
When I think of you, I dream.
No longer a stranger,
No longer a stranger in your heart.

A Stranger In Your Heart - Continental Collision (featuring Ce Mastro and Georg Boehme)

"KNOW YOUR FEAR"

The eye that sees everything beyond
Asks me hey dude why there is no bond
I answer with spirit its not how you die
But looking at creation its how you first cry

The truth is i see that through my eternal eye
But isn't it so sad that people do not fly
It makes me really wonder what happened to this world
That likes to live a being that is of soulless soul.

If sight is your spirit, thought is your feeling
End this fucking shit set a new beginning
Make time work for you to avoid those rotten eyes
By spirit body soul to kill what never dies.

Now that you are breathing the air of our infinity
Do not disrupt the messages to end this fake sincerity
Will start to live this trip again all beings together,
And maybe in our hearts we kill our sacred feather.

The one that makes you fly deep down the gap of soul
To bring out to the surface eruption to the whole
To set not a beginning or just another end
But starting to remember whats left to live ahead.

LYRICS BY Ragias Christos
Enjoy the fear!!

KNOW YOUR FEAR

The second track I have done with The Gatsbys and it’s always a pleasure to be asked to collaborate.
Dirk sent me the instrumental and like before I was blown away by his guitar work & melody.
I contributed the lyrics and vocal melodies to this.
It was an honour that he used Nothing left to defend on his latest album Cancel the winter.
So to be asked again was always going to be a yes. 
The  Gatsbys always create that live indie band sound on final recordings  especially with Bens percussion work. 
I hope you enjoy the track as I enjoyed singing on it.
We give you The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie….



V1
He would never catch you when you fall 
Like humptey dumptey on the nursery tale wall 
I’m that 3am person who you can always call
I’ve got your back and I do what you ask 

Bridge
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V2 
I will always show up when your down on your luck 
We’re all born to  places and seldom thunderstruck 
Somewhere along the way we all lose ourselves 
We must  come back stronger to say our Fairwells 

Chorus 
Whitheat happiness 
Will take away this   heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess your happiness 


V3
Let’s move away from what we only know 
To a place where we enjoy the feeling of the afterglow 
Where every single  eye only see the now
To Rebuild again & be happy Somehow 


Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V4 
I just wanna be your whiteheat happiness
And be that warrior who takes away the sadness 
Friends with benefits can’t last forever 
So look no further for your buried treasure 

Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. buttercup 


V5 
Drive in my head im six months down line 
Time as been the healer and now you are mine
I am yours and there is another new bloodline
To be arriving in 9 months from treasure to a goldmines

Chorus 
White heat happiness 
Will take away this heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess….
Your happiness

Whiteheat Happiness - The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie

I wish you, my Friends, an really nice new Year 2025.
Best Regards & stay Safe

The song contradicts my life since I don't have a night life! I mean, I take a lot of medication for my mental health illness and I get up very early in the morning! In fact, I'm also phobic and I have certain schedules for going out into the big city! But let's dedicate this song to my adolescence, which in the 80s did have a night life and went to discos!

Heavy Punk Rock 'n' Roll band turns into Synthwave nowadays! Brand NEW album "Ultraviolet Cosmos" available NOW!

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.
