I love the concept of taking back the Z it doesn't belong to them. Great protest song Jan, Johnny

Super cool song. Its remind me some Roger Waters. 🦩

Like this 70's style rock progression! Jan & Davy, you have that mild David Bowie vocal vibe...mixed with a STYX's Renegade twist ...And what a dynamic duo this creates for the UNIQUE niche of rare cleverness in music history!  100% star ORIGINALITY!>>

Love that part where the chord dips into a minor. Great tune!!

Interesting subject, ticks all the boxes for me.

Amazing production 🔥 Excellent vocals 🔥 Superb composition ✨ Very powerful ✨

One nation, one destiny..I do not know that we will have one destiny in the face of these circumstances, but I hope that this war will end and this nightmare will end
I pray for all the Ukrainian people, may the twilight of mercy enter the hearts of the leaders, and that they do not walk the path of death
My prayers from the heart When I wrote this music, my eyes were teary at this situation we have become
My friends all over the world stop this pain in their own way

Not much I can do about the tragic events in Ukraine. I've decided that the aggressors can't appropriate the Z, so I'm taking it back in this metaphorical musical battle.

This is a tweaked master (for some of you this may be basics). I moved both the organ and vocal noisegate from last to first in the effects chain. This allows the effects such as delay to work and sound as intended. Also tried a saturator on the lead "high" vocal to make it stand out more in the mix. You will all let me know if this worked (it is most noticeable at the end where you can hear the organ fade out with the planned delay). On a side-note if anybody is interested in how the "sucking" effect is achieved on the drums it is using a combination of regular and reverse reverb. 

TAKING BACK THE Z

I’m taking back the Z
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
It’s not white 
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
U

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll move from place to place
I’ll zig and I’ll zag
I’ll duck and I’ll hide
I’ll stay alive
I can’t let go, no

I’ll weave and I’ll bob
Be a thorn in your side
I’ll run and I’ll jump
No river’s too wide
I can’t let go, no

I’m taking back the Z
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s not white
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
Yellow and blue

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll beg and I’ll pray, 
Turn every stone
I’ll rant and I’ll rave
I’ll never rest
I can’t let go, no

I’ll be your worst nightmare
No matter your might
Be your worst nightmare 
Both day & night
I can’t let go, no

It’s all mine…

Taking Back The Z

Taking Back The Z | Davy Vance 🎸

It’s all around
Daylight breaks on frozen ground
And I've never told you
How good it feels to grow old with you

The night is cold and hard as steel
But you and I will never feel
The silent night the shivering morning
This burning ember heats our home

Its all above
An icy wind. A burning sun
And I’ve never told you
How good it feels to come home to you

The night is ours. It’s short but sweet 
And desperate hours before the week
A daily grind a cold design
This burning ember heats our home

So cry out
What's wrong with the world?
Why can’t they see
Things like you and me?

It’s all around
Daylight breaks on golden ground
Have I ever told you
How good it feels to have grown old with you?

The night is hard and cold as steel 
But you and i will never feel
The hardened heart, the cold of shoulder
This burning ember heats our home

It's All Around

I had to record a second time due to some over the top reverb. Features the Cat, and the DX gets to rock.

Emergency Embrace

modern day

photos are memories I keep within my mind
stored in the basement in a crate I’ll never find
songs are the stories and the places I have been
authored before this mental knot I’m tangled in

modern day is here to stay
and all that was will fade away
heavens rain and hell will pay
our eyes are wet with tears

poets and prophets weave our words into their art
read in dramatic mien and spoken from their heart  
unseal the parchment let the words escape their cage
left with a book with seven hundred empty page

styles we made are old and frayed 
where all the past is filed away
a quill, a pen I’ll write the end
the sky is wet with ink

modern day is here to stay
and all that was will fade away
heavens rain and hell will pay
our eyes are wet with tears
modern day is bland and beige
remembrance of the golden age
a quill, a pen I’ll write the end
my heart is black as ink

Written in 2005 (after our trip to New Zealand), Shady was one of the tracks on my first album Into The Wildness. This song came to me whilst I was making concrete with a cement mixer for an extension I was building on our house. A dragon fly flew past me and took me straight back to our trip around the Bay of Islands on our friends catamaran, Shady Lady. It's a simple song of escapism.

This recording was a later version recorded at home sometime between 2010/2015.

noxpox - Patt ☻ (OPEN COLLAB)

It's another collection of varied tunes.

The joy inside us - melodic, soulful and uplifting beats and is a reflection on the joy I have felt in my life. It feels good ;-)

Song of the Elven - this melds a fat bassline with jazzy guitar and sinister bell sounds. Think Santa's elves have taken over the party for the evening and have got into the punch...

Inside the storm - a follow on to Approaching the Storm (on my debut album). It's a reflection on what it feels like to be in the middle of a whirlwind and not knowing the way forwards.

And because I cannot end on dark notes, the last track is a simple lullaby no.6, named after the UDO Super 6 synth it was written on. Boy that synth is awesome... I have more coming using that toy :-)

The Joy Inside Us

Wherever you go, there you are
It doesn’t really matter how far
Wherever you go, there you are
Are you really who you think you are?
Wherever you go, there you are
I’m just strumming on my guitar
I don’t think I’ll be a rock star
Don’t you agree
That life is bizarre?

Thanks for visiting. This is a retro eclectic music mix with a strong keyboard base.  Looming influences from among others Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Lou Reed & Jon Lord. The songs are mostly 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.

To all of you likers and reposters that don't listen - what's the point?
