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 ✨

Lyrics:

Bodhran’s Dream 

A silver veil hangs sweet and low
The sea pulls her skirt in the wind
Gazing over Tempters cliff, 
The heart calls a future unmet
Two hands upon a timeless face
Who never seem able to meet
But Time has sold what should have been
And I can’t let go of this dream

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others’ arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me.

Holding on to memories
That glisten like pearls on a string
And where this ends, no one can know,
But hope is where all this begins…

Chorus:
So take my hand Love!
And we’ll dance ‘till the Sun kiss the moon in the sky
By the beat of the Bodhran and the whistle’s delight
We’ll ignite heaven’s light..
And we’ll live every lifetime!
In the space of a moment in each others arms,
And we’ll sing ‘till our voices surround every star
And remake what has past,
If tonight’s but a dream
Darling.. Live it with me…. Live it with me…

Bodhran's Dream

Bodhran's Dream (Ft Junkheap)

A bit late,but best wishes to y'all. 

I hope this is a good year
I hope for me and you
I hope for warmth and good cheer
In twenty twentytwo

I'll raise a glass,here's to you all
Together we can do
Before our final curtain call
Let live twenty twentytwo

May your time be ever golden
May you see your trouble through
May you never be beholden
In twenty twentytwo

Remember what we took for granted
Remember what we thought was free
Isolated disenchanted
Life has no guarantee

Here's to all the tired and weary
I wish the best for you
A year that's not so dreary
In twenty twentytwo

This one is a chilled, dreamy, yet somewhat exhilarating old school dubstep number. The initial version bounced was overly simplistic and it was okay, but the damn thing was screaming to be fleshed out - so here we are, with the addition of a few extra bells and whistles (not literally, of course). Having said that, you’re not about to witness any kind of mind-blowing technical wizardry - a simple man does simple things.

Originally, the track was abandoned purposefully before the cake was baked as a little experiment with the idea that sometimes less is more. It turns out, once in a while, that less is less and more is in fact more.

The first iteration was saved with the title ‘Oceanic (Dripping Cave Levels)’, due to the fact that it kept bringing to mind a weird mental image of a chubby little pre-shroom Mario scampering through his subterranean wonderland. I never lost sight of that peculiar vision, but the title was too clunky, so here we are with ‘Naica Mine’. If this strange title piques your interest, just Google it…

Should this piece of work cleanse your chakras, then please ‘like’, comment and repost. May your pot overflow with pleasure and abundance, and your seed find welcoming ground.

Naica Mine

okay I fleshed it out and worked on the vocal...
NOTE: I finally took those annoying breaths out of the vocal track!

This one’s gonna hurt, it’s gonna make me wanna cry
And turn things upside down, and still I’ll wonder why
You made me feel alive, but now I want to die
You took away my wings when you taught me how to fly

This one’s gonna hurt, more than anything I’ve known
It makes me question everything, what is right and what is wrong
What it means to be redeemed, to come off of that ledge
And you see the one you love still dancing on the edge

In this dirty dusty room, it’s like an empty tomb
There’s an echo in the hall, but no one there to hear me call
But know I tried to make it right
I tried to save us from the fall

I don’t know what to do, I can’t believe it’s true
I was lost inside a dream, but I know now what it means
To wake up in the cold, when everything went wrong
And the life we knew is gone

This one’s gonna hurt, and it’s more than I can stand
When I can’t hold you close, with these two empty hands
I was searching for a sign, to know how you would feel
I wish I could change your mind
But I know you never will…

This Ones Gonna Hurt (Complete Mix)

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…

GIRASOL

El frío cubrió todo con una capa de hielo
y girasol es,
la noche aventaba todo su fulgor con la oscuridad 
y girasol es,
fue como estar ausente por un instante nada más, 
nada más.

El silencio atrapó todo con un manto de nácar necedad 
y girasol es,
la nada inundaba con blanca seda y negra oscuridad 
y girasol es,
fue como estar distante en el presente en ésta realidad, 
realidad.

Little Did I Know

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?
