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…

Santa's In A Funk - Jamie Rhind

This is actually a remix of the song “Where We Want To Be” which I shared about four years ago when I first joined Soundcloud.   “Winter's Road” was in fact the original title when the song was written.  So I decided to fall back to that with this remix.   See what you think.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
I cannot speak for all who stem
Long road less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
By words they spoke and did not say.

(Chorus)
All roads lead to where we go
Where we go is where we have been,
So home’s just a word we know,
For where we want to be again.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

Repeat Chorus

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is gonna to be
Another road or just a place.

Repeat Chorus

Winter's Road

Here's the first Anomon & Elliot recording in a New Series of musical conversations in 'The Livingroom', in February 2023. And today (Feb. 21st it's #2 on the SC New & Hot Ambient Chart in North America. 

The tones and textures Tim created on his guitar as we began improvising reminded me of the Erhu.. the two stringed Chinese instrument played with a bow. It felt like we were actually looking out over the amazing horizon in the photo above, filled with wonder. Shortly after, we found our way into the musical equivalent of Para-Gliding over the clouds in very cool n joyous groove that continues to pulse through until the finish.

We hope you'll enJOY, too. 😊

Lyrics:

What's that in your hand, is it an alien whistle?
Might perk ya right up like a brush full of bristles
Down here they call this the hit of the wizzle
Sunny side up, come get a bit of the sizzle

Aunt Mary's crystals send you right up
Send you right up
Send you right up
Top the morning off with that OJ Cup
And the searing pancakes with Aunt Jemima's syrup

The dash of the green is a vivid scene
It's what crumbles all the charm up with the obscene 
HIGHdeas take the roundabout
Distract the spaces where there used to be doubt
Getting' down hot and frisky with the THC
Come on in my receptors and stimulate me
If the air was smoked kush, Ooo that'd be just fine
I wish the reef could make all the planets align. 

4/20 and for once I'm feeling free
Lightyears in my head, but I'm just a flea
In the universe
In the universe

4/20 and for once I'm feeling free
Lightyears in my head, but I'm just a flea
In the universe
In the universe

Genuineness Makes a Difference

Little Love Ways

Lyrics
Overdrive
Let’s rock it to the groove let the vibe run it’s course 
I ain’t hiding from nobody it’s mask off
Holding all the keys underground and endorsed
And I’m bringing so much heat baby it’s time to defrost 
Nothing up my sleeve still the boss with the sauce
Just relax to the beat—I’m about to set off
I’m about to set it off…

I Want more out of life besides stumbling blocks 
give me love give me music and the doors will unlock
Got me navigate through this Damn gridlock 
But my attitude is pure hip-hop
ground floor—-charging up 
going straight to the top 
max level —-overdrive 
outlaw rebel —-still alive

Attitude—-HipHop
Love it when the beat drops 
blazing when I heat up 
break out the sunblock 
raising levels nonstop 
ready for the aftershock
Watch-’em crumble—- on my way to the top
Lemme take you just a little bit deeper
Hoodie on my head—- like I am the Grim Reaper
Hang on tight as I take a little detour
Can’t resist the allure of the women or liquor

Just a little Taste —-leave you wanting more 
got the rock in my hand ——and I’m about to score 
success taste sweet —-this much I’m sure 
no defeat—-no retreat —-It’s an all out war 
condition for the heat —-elite hard-core 
about to bless another beat—- that what I’m here for 
might be easy but not cheap—-so what’s your best offer
What’s your best offer?

Overdrive

The man of many voices, genres, and characters. 

Expect the unexpected.
