Cool Nick Cave vibe. Fascinating. Love the pic. Helen x

Great song, lyrics and production...the drums give such a suspenseful dynamic.  Who needs a drummer?

love the experiment with forming a percussion track, and trying even to tap out rhythms. Good for you, Jan. The big thumps is almost mystical...keys are mint and all a fine foundation for you to add your muse, vocally.  :)

Excellent track, love the distorted ambient sounds, the jazzy organ & vocals are superb

Wow, awesome drum sound, great song all 'round, good work. :)

Really like the overlays of delay layering and texturing.  Nice job Jan.

dear Jan, you're 360° artist and what you did with drum beat is awesome ...i study only for 1 year drum and paradiddle💢😉💢but after scooter's incident i left...crash just a little one leg and need to play...i begin 40 years o. to play keyboard 🤷

COLOURFUL SONGS FOR THE SUMMER

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Not being a drummer or having access to a collaborating drummer very often I have been moving away from using the Logic Pro virtual drummer and playing the drum grooves on my keyboard. I have to admit it has given me added respect for the art as it is not easy (at least for me) to keep a consistent beat even for a few bars. For this I used the Vintage Breaks+ drum kit, but to get the deep sound applied the Space D reverb, which I then also used to give the same overall sound to all the stems. The bass is a Logic Baby Bass treated with a Full Stack guitar amplifier. For the vocal in the chorus I used a reverse Space D reverb to achieve the ghostly effect. Lyrically I think this song speaks for itself.

TWO SPEED

There’s vintage and new
All kinds and looks
On this brand new two speed highway
I can see you clearly
You’re holding on and dearly

There’s a clear road ahead
Slipping into 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
There’s a lane you can choose instead
Letting go, letting go 

I’ll pass you by
Why don’t you even try
I want to love you 
I want to hold you

I can’t wait for you
Makes me wanna cry
Stay away from you
I’m afraid of you

Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself
Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself

So much more than you and me
Can’t slip into he said, she said, we said, they said
A shiny city on a hill  
I wanna get there, you wanna get there
 
Free flowing air
Full speed ahead, but
To be close to you
Spend time with you

I’m breaking free
I wish that you could see
I can’t love you
I can’t trust you

Unless you help yourself
Take good care of yourself
And love yourself
Help yourself
Good care of yourself
And love yourself

I WAS WALKING DOWN BROADWAY
ON A PRETTY DARK SUNDAY
AND WHAT DID I SEE FALLEN FROM A CLOUD
LIKE A TINY LOST SUNRAY
A LITTLE BABY SPARROW
WITH NO MUM OR PA
COULD I LEAVE IT THERE NO WAY

SO I BROUGHT IT HOME BROADWAY
COULD I NAME IT ANY OTHER WAY
NOW IT GIVES ME TROUBLE CHIRPING IN MY EAR
WHEN NOT POOPING IN MY BEER

BUT I GUESS IT MADE MY DAY
BROADWAY

Lyrics:

Mr. Weed man
Do you know who i am?
I'm the one who smoked every last one of your grams
lifted the rug right from under your feet
And when your back hit the floor it took your heartbeat
After that I sat down right in your seat
And Crossed my name out from the top of your sheet
It was time to preheat
it was time to preheat
It was time to preheat
And claim defeat
Because the weed man possesses something sweet
Sweeter than Wonka's everlasting treat
You see the weedman has the rarest strain
One from the toe all the way to the brain
He's stocked
He's bloated
Cut off all his fingers they're coated
In crystalized buds like a Cheeto dust
They'll Make ya green out and cop a bust

Cheech and Chong up in smoke
Beaches and bongs for the toke
Thanks to the Weedman
Smoke the weedman

Cheech and Chong up in smoke
Beaches and bongs for the toke
Thanks to the weedman
The weed man
Yeah

Lonely sits the city
Now desolate,
Barren and empty!

We watch the fall
In silent apathy
Nothing’s real
Augmented reality

Walking sleep
Our lips are sutured
Our eyes stitched shut
To past and future

Self-serving
Apathy
Buried along
with our fantasies

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

Silicon smiles
Hide mechanical gears
Oiled with blood
Spilled in fear

Enemies
Seek our demise
Choking us
With honeyed lies

Parasites
Have wormed their way in
They cause our fall
And mock our ruin

In the midst
of our distraction
ravening wolves
Have overtaken

[chorus]
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Lamentations!
Turn back before
it’s too late!

I was honored when https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions asked me to remake ‘Tattlesnakes’ from their fantastic album ‘Pun’. Maybe it’s the wildest one, unpredictable but coherent, it inspired me immediately !!

I've remixed to my taste their original studio stems (drums & keyboards), adding my own vocals, guitars & more... hard recommendation of headphones again !!

Lyrics are from another of my ancient poems, where I played with oxytone & eproparoxytone rhymes (translated below but with lost effect in English).

Full versions album here: https://soundcloud.com/graphicsontelevisions/sets/another-pun-a-brand-new
Downloadable: https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/another-pun
I suggest checking out the original tracks too: @https://graphicsontelevisions.bandcamp.com/album/pun !!!

Letra  /  Lyrics:

Claro que ya no soy plástico,  /  Clearly I’m not plastic anymore,
ni estoy falto de razón,  /  nor lacking of reason,
puesto que, siendo simpático,  /  since, being friendly,
de sangre es mi corazón.  /  of blood is my heart.

Claro que soy esporádico  /  Clearly I am sporadic
en locos cantos espléndidos.  /  in splendid crazy singings.

Gritos de loco dolor,  /  Screams of insane pain,
llenos de mudo amargor,  /  full of mute bitterness,
claro que ya no son gélidos.  /  clearly are not icy anymore.

Claro que ya soy simpático  /  Clearly I’m yet friendly
y estoy falto de amargor,  /  and lacking of bitterness,
puesto que mi corazón,  /  since my heart,
siendo de sangre, no es plástico.  /  being of blood, is not plastic.

Y en mis cantos esporádicos,  /  And in my sporadic singings,
claro que ya no soy gélido.  /  clearly I’m not icy anymore.

Gritos de loca razón,  /  Screams of mad reason,
ya no gritos de dolor,  /  not screams of pain anymore,
claro que ya son espléndidos!  /  clearly are yet splendid!

(I wrote and recorded this song in 2010 with my old Boss drum machine.
A story about my brother and his mate (Camel) alien encounter. At the time 
of this there were reports in newspapers of other people seeing whatever they saw, my brothers friend is reluctant to talk about it.)

GIVE IT UP, ABDUCTED BY ALIENS X2

YOU'RE LIVING IN THE ATMOSPHERE
IT'S TIME TO COME DOWN AND BEAT THIS FEAR
GIVE IT UP. ABDUCTED BY ALIENS

I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE, WHAT YOUR TELLING ME
IT'S CONFLICTING TO SAY, YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN AWAY
WHAT WAS TAKEN THAT NIGHT, CAMELS UNDER THE BED
HOVERING BLUE LIGHT, AN EYE WITHOUT A HEAD

YOU'RE LIVING IN  A FANTICY
IT'S TIME TO COME DOWN AND BEAT THIS FEAR
GIVE IT UP. ABDUCTED BY ALIENS

News flash, an unidentified flying object was seen in Keon Park Melbourne Australia, Two witness's claim it hovered in the street with glowing lights and the eye chased them into the house,

THIS STORY'S BEEN TOLD  A MILLION WAYS
LITTLE FAT GREEN MEN IN THERE FLYING SHIPS
IF ALL OF MY DREAMS COULD BE LIKE THIS
THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD BE GONE, I AM THE ALIEN

YOU'RE LIVING IN THE ATMOSPHERE
IT'S TIME TO COME DOWN AND BEAT THIS FEAR
GIVE IT UP. ABDUCTED BY ALIENS

I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE, WHAT YOUR TELLING ME
IT'S CONFLICTING TO SAY, YOU'VE BEEN TAKEN AWAY
WHAT WAS TAKEN THAT NIGHT, CAMELS UNDER THE BED
HOVERING BLUE LIGHT, AN EYE WITHOUT A HEAD

YOU'RE LIVING IN  A FANTICY
IT'S TIME TO COME DOWN AND BEAT THIS FEAR
GIVE IT UP. ABDUCTED BY ALIENS

Did you see it, no, did you see it, no, did anybody else see it, anybody,
Are you sure the TV was turned off, did anybody see it, anybody, anybody

GIVE IT UP, ABDUCTED BY ALIENS
GIVE IT UP, ABDUCTED BY ALIENS
GIVE IT UP, ABDUCTED BY ALIENS
GIVE IT UP,

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.
