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 ✨

It's been a long time since I've been here and your world is as Bowian as ever. Well done, both of you. 💚💚

IT IS COMING BACK LIKE A WHEEL

Well it has been a dull few months, hence the need for surprises. I'll leave it up you as to what the surprise might be.

Lyrics

I’ve got a surprise for you  
Like Miles you’ve been feeling ‘kinda blue’
Missin’ Valentine’s was hateful 
Now we’re here in April
But I’ve got a surprise for you

First thought about getting a tat-too
An arrow through the heart, that’s cut in two
Or something from your wish list
We don’t have to wait till Christmas
I’ve got a surprise for you
 
I’ve got a surprise for you
So what if we’re financial-la-ly screwed
No compromises
When it comes to surprises 
I’ve got a surprise for you   

I’ve got a surprise for you
I’ve got a surprise for you
Open up your eye-ziz
I know you like surprise-ziz
I’ve got a surprise for YOoooooooouuuuuuu xxx

I've Got A Surprise For You!

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…

Look

That’s All
I’m drowning in the pool of life 
feeling the depth there’s no help insight 
my only choice is move towards the light
holding my breath will that make things right 
I don’t know but I have to fight 
I don’t know but I have to fight 

is it a dream —-will someone wake me 
silently scream —-it’s driving me crazy 

I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
I do believe that I’m out of my depth
I’m over my head and I’m soaking wet 
over my head
over my head

That's All

Fun with 5 Saxes, and a Blues-kind tune by Wes Montgomery... and a new toy.

So this was going to be a nineties throwback petshop boys style piece. I could never get it right, it's such a nihilistic piece. This is a very rough version, two takes on the piano, and a few takes on the vocal.

Let’s go, just you and I, 
while the world still dreams below the starry sky
Down the lonely street into an empty town 
From our mindless sleep on to Hallowed ground

I always thought there would be time
but i watched it slip away before my eyes
Yet we had time for our goodbyes
Looking out, at the edge of the demise

Without you here, what would I be?
Within your arms, you comfort me
You keep me close, 
you set me free!

It doesn’t end with a whimper or a bang, 
We just slowly fade to black from where we came
It doesn’t end in flood or fire,
It all just simply falls to our desire

will there ever be another?

A Love Song From The End Of The World

This photo I took recently inspired me a lot for this new Jazz-Fusion title.

GHOST OF MINE (DEMO GOTHWAVE)

Firstly being a song with traditional 6/4 signature, I redid the central section in 4/4 to add strength, same as with my previously posted song.

Also, I 'needed' to cut last quarter note out of the instrumental bridges and play them in 5/4.

After these artificialities, I tried a mild sound to please your ears ;)

Letra (Translated lyrics):

Ven (Come)

Ven… cógeme con tus manos, tan limpias, tan solas, tan blancas, tan suaves, ven…
   (Come … take me with your hands, so clean, so lonely, so white, so soft, come …)
Ven… bésame con tus labios, tan tiernos, tan prietos, tan lejos, tan dulces, ven…
   (Come … kiss me with your lips, so tender, so tight, so distant, so sweet, come …)

Ven… guíame con tus ojos, tan puros, tan ciegos, tan tuyos, tan graves, ven…
   (Come … guide me with your eyes, so pure, so blind, so yours, so serious, come …)
Ven… pídeme lo que quieras y dime que nunca podrías dejarme… ven…
   (Come … ask me whatever you want and tell me you could never leave me … come …)

Ven y méceme en tus brazos. (Come and swing me in your arms.)
Ven y guárdame en tu seno. (Come and keep me in your bosom.)
Ven y duérmeme en tu regazo. (Come and get me asleep on your lap.)
Ven… ven… ven… (Come … come … come …)

Ven… cántame con tu risa, tan clara, tan rara, tan fresca, tan triste, ven…
   (Come … sing to me with your laugh, so clear, so rare, so fresh, so sad, come …)
Ven… llámame con tu gesto, tan sabio, tan lacio, tan quieto, tan fuerte, ven…
   (Come … call me with your gesture, so wise, so languid, so still, so strong, come …)

Ven… ámame con tu vida, tan dura, tan libre, tan hueca, tan calma, ven…
   (Come … love me with your life, so hard, so free, so hollow, so calm, come …)
Ven… pídeme lo que quieras y dime que nunca podrías dejarme… ven…
   (Come … ask me whatever you want and tell me you could never leave me … come …)

Ven (pide lo que quieras)

Just did some fixing up of this so check out the new vocal and tightened up instrumental.  

Love can make you crazy when it is served with an undertone of disrespect. I am looking for something better. #reallove is more than I love you. More than just a kiss.

Today Is What It Is

(Don't follow me here, best on my main page ;)

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.
