Hey Thierry this is fantastic -- the whole song is fab and perfectly done, but this instrumental coda is the true killer, a perfect jam where everything is right on its place. sounds like if Paulo Mendonca finally had decided to leave some space to his band :-)

love it all here - the groove, the space, the tone, the words.  Excellent

nice little horn lines too - and that deep clarinet and everything - nice

This is a homerun! Great songwriting, performance, and production! ;-)

Lyrics:
Don't want to be a rose
You want to be a wildflower
Never mind the sun
You want to take a moon shower

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

You say you're getting old
You say you've reached a milestone mama
You're tired of being sold
You're tired of all the hometown drama

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

I love the way the moon glows
I love the way the wind blows
When it goes
Through your hair

Gonna be a wild ride mama
Gonna be a rodeo
Gonna be an LA drama
Gonna have to rope me down

Half a mile from here we'll disappear aboard the midnight train

Half A Mile From Here

■概要(Overview)
熱すぎて溶けてしまうくらいの情熱を持てたらいいね。
PrivateからPublicへ熱心に大名行列する。
I wish I could be so passionate that I would melt.
An enthusiastic procession of feudal lords from private to public.

■video
https://youtu.be/pdM0huA1zaE
※あまり動かないですわ

「溶けるくらいに」Let's get passionate

溶けてしまうくらいに
打ち込めるものがあれば
それだけでいいわ

十二時を過ぎたころに
アタマにあふれる「I hate you.」
傷つけあうのはもうやめて
心を解放したならば今

幾重にも重なる
合わせ鏡の迷路
本物は自分だけ
燃えるように　溶けてる


好きなものをいくつか
そばに置いておけたなら
それだけでいいわ

人づての言葉信じ
正義の仮面で「I hate you.」
傷つけあうのはもうやめて
好きなものだけそばに置いていて

幾重にも重なる
合わせ鏡の迷路
映し出されたものは
燃えているか　溶けているか

■Lyrics
If there is something I can devote myself to so much that it melts, that's enough.

After midnight, the words "I hate you" flood my head.
Stop hurting each other. If you free your heart, now.

Labyrinth of mirrors overlapping one after another. The only real thing is yourself.
Melting like it's burning.

If I could just keep a few of the things I like close by, that's enough.

People who believe the words of others who don't know the truth and say "I hate you" under the mask of justice.
Stop hurting each other. Keep only the things you like close by.

Labyrinth of mirrors overlapping one after another. Is the reflected thing burning or melting?

Ignite your passion(溶けるくらいに)

J'ai vu en toi mon amour, l'amour de ma vie
Soudain il m'a bien surpris, l'amour de ma vie

En quoi j'ai pu croire en ce thème, éblouissant phénomène

J'ai vu en toi mon amour, l'amour de ma vie
Soudain il m'a tout appris, l'amour de ma vie

Plus aucun doute ne me freine, j’avance enfin sans peine

J'ai vu en toi mon amour, l'amour de ma vie. 
Enfin je suis son cours, l'amour de ma vie

LIKE THE SUN

Original by The Beatles (1970)
I used a piano backing track on this

I have been sick, and my voice is not completely healed yet, but it is what it is :)

Let It Be (Cover)

Well what can I say. I think a world leader should lead and not whine. I think some have forgotten what the country was founded to do. 

lyrics

a country is not a corporation
a profit is not its goal
keep the peopel safe from harm
fund the schools so they can learn
feed the children who have no food
don't take away school lunches 
so you can save a dollar
and leave these children cold and hungry 
while you dine on caviar

make the laws apply to all
not bend to one group's pleasures
each must have an equal chance
to contribute grow and prosper
diversity is what brings us strength
embrace it don't arrest it

respect empathy and debate is what must guide our path
calling names and pointing fingers
makes us weaker and not stronger
compromise is what brings us peace
greed and fear is what makes us weak

we won the war with Britain
in 1776
so none would be above the law
we do not need or want a king
to tell us what to do and think
we are ruled by the many 
not controlled by the few

let's remember that "we the people" applies to everyone

My opinion. what do you think??

voici une musique que j'ai composé en 2006 qui n'avait pas de texte à l'époque, j'ai écrit ce texte en portugais dernièrement et l'ai proposé à Julien Apelian qui avec son immense talent a fait les claviers et refait les batteries et percussions ainsi que l'arrangement, mastering.

Uma mistura de culturas
Sonho com todos os países
Todas as linguas
está no meu coração
Encha-nos com canções e alegria
Através da força e da diversidade
A música nos leva a outro lugar
Um planeta sem barreiras

Refrain :
Se precisa de tempo
Quer acreditar
Precisa de esperança
Deus nos escute
Somos feitos de po
Sem fronteiras imigrantchis

O mundo é enorme, Deus o faz grande
Toda a riqueza eterna que ele nos deu
Por prazer e partilla e felicidade
E nunca conhecer o fim
Um milhão de estrelas na via láctea
O sol, o mar, o céu, os sonhos

en français

Un mélange de cultures
Je rêve de tous les pays
Toutes les langues
c'est dans mon coeur
Remplis-nous de chants et de joie
Par la force et la diversité
La musique nous emmène ailleurs
Une planète sans barrières

Refrain :
Si tu as besoin de temps
Je veux croire
Besoin d'espoir
Dieu nous entend
Nous sommes faits de poussière
Pas de frontières pour les immigrants

Le monde est immense, Dieu le rend grand
Il nous a donné toute la richesse éternelle
Pour le plaisir, le partage et le bonheur
Et ne connaît jamais la fin
Un million d'étoiles dans la voie lactée
Le soleil, la mer, le ciel, les rêves

My maternal grandmother's cousin, Bill, had a lifelong interest in magic. It all began during his childhood when he had the flu. A friend taught him a few card tricks to help pass the time, and from that moment on, he was captivated and dedicated himself to perfecting his skills. In 1929, shortly after college, Bill joined the Society of American Magicians, hoping to make magic his career. His parents were concerned and did not approve of their son becoming a magician and entertainer. They encouraged him to give up magic and follow his father into the insurance business. He tried it for a while, but the allure of magic was too strong, and he eventually became a professional magician. Throughout the 1940s and 50s, he was constantly touring, performing a wide variety of illusions alongside well-known entertainers of the era, as well as his wife, who was his onstage assistant. Sadly, after many years, magic and fame became an unhealthy obsession that took a significant toll on Bill and his family. However, in the beginning, it brought him a sense of wonder and adventure. This piece aims to capture those early years.

The Magician

Villain within my mind
Stirring the pot
Villain, trouble come
Spoil the fun

Blindside will knock me off
This treacherous game
When I’m gone
Real fun, it’s only begun

We can plan it out to run
Run it out
Only plan that’s sure to make it 
To fruition, distant in the mirror

Weight up there, torch I carry
All I’ve lost
Destruction left
Along the path I take

We can plan it out to run
Run it out
Only plan that’s sure to make it 
To fruition, distant in the mirror

Slipping through my hand
Million dollars blowing across the beach

We can plan it out to run
Run it out
Only plan that’s sure to make it 
To fruition, distant in the mirror

Slipping through my hand
Million dollars blowing across the beach


Alliances And Plots

For those of you who haven't discovered Orlando "The Don" Lund, here's your opportunity.  Orlando is a serious pro, having built a career as a writer, multi instrumentalist and producer in London during the '90s Soul Funk era, leading and creating with some of the finest contemporary jazz and funk musicians in Europe.  You can hear many of their great tunes here at https://soundcloud.com/orlando-lund.  If you are into grooving music, almost no one does it better.

Orlando approached me about playing on a tune I had released here, What the Funk, quickly sending 5 tasty tracks to me - a solid grooving bass line, a congas line, two rhythm guitar tracks and a George Benson style guitar solo.  I've worked them all in here, adding them to all my keyboard parts, creating some sweet soul jazz for your listening pleasure.  Check out Orlando's wonderful Palma Groove Project recordings on his gallery - really special creations.  

We thank you as always for your generous listening time, for your comments and for your shares.

Sit Down On Your Freedom

I think this track started 2 years ago. I remember talking about the vision with Jamie on the phone and then Jamie sent me a bunch of stems to choose from. I chose the standing bass and recorded my verse with a 90’s vibe in mind. I sent the track over to Russell to add some guitars, he sent that funk rock intro and riff back, and then I don’t know what happened after that? A bunch of other songs got made and the vision for this track expanded to include cutting my second verse and bringing Jon Lock in on vocals. Then the song sat again. Jon and I even started and completed And So You Say and Training Day after we had already got this song started. Since this track was visioned to be part of the first song on the set with Training Day, eventually it had to be completed. Wou-Wou then join in with his synths, rhythm guitar over Jon’s part, and some additional guitar over the first section. This gave the track the final fire it needed and Russell mixed and mastered it like a champ!

As always, massive thanks to Wou-Wou and Russell who have been regular collaborators on so many projects, on SoundCloud, Facebook, and Bandcamp. Wou and Russell will always be the core of my musical team. Thanks for being great friends! 
Big thanks also to Jon, who I have worked with on 3 songs now, with 2 more in the works already! 
And thanks to Jamie for all his patience, support, and for the completion of our second project together!   

This song goes out to all the music nerds, appreciators, and lovers with strong opinions. Keep those conversations going. I spent many, many years, going to the record store several times a week, hanging and talking with the staff, some who became good friends.

Lyrics 

Everything changes 
Nothing stays the same 
I used to hate it when my people would say it's a shame 
Stating that the games gone lame 
Claiming that today the music is wack 
At times I would refrain and take a step back
But most of the time I would counter attack 
Back in the day, we would say, Clever repartee 
When we were clowning around 
But now a days we taking the things a bit more serious 
Or maybe it's just me, see 
I ain't playing around as much as I used to be 
Conversations at a minimal 
It's not that I'm more critical or cynical 
It's that I am a more apathetic individual
I  just don't care 
Call me hypocritical 
I be like that's fair 
Yo
What happened to all the innovators, rhyme slayers, originality generators
You know
There really all still there
Back in the days we had to dig in the crates
Looking for the lessor known greats
I guess that's still the way it operates 
Hates a narrow minded state 
And It take effort to educate
So 
I’ma stay open and keep on diggin’ 
Vibin' on the sounds that I be hearin’ 
Yea 
And you know it's like that 
And you know and you know and you know it's like that 
Keep keep on, keep keep on
keep keep keep on

And you know it’s like that

Here comes the backup plan
The man without a name
Don’t want to be no star
Just musical acclaim 
Brush back those famous hats like children in the street
I’m gonna sing a bit while Couch King cracks the beat
Whoa baby now shake
Like momma told you now
Whoa baby now shake
Like this was made for
This is a slice of funk
USDA prime
Let it get to your head
You will feel fine
Poetry in motion
Images in time
Back beats and refined commotion 
Aged like fine wine 

Any you know it’s like that

This is my cousin, David Conover's take on the song.. Bruce

jeff tweedy’s bio tried hard to review tunes without capturing whom the song might sound like. so, in that honor here’s my attempt. 

go go go then stop slow and low cookin’ on a recently outlawed 4 burner gas stove. the stock pot has boiling pasta fagioli on the front burner; a low slow rolling boil. simmering on the back burner is honey-dripped sauce soon to be ladled over braised short ribs. paired with a 69 year old black licorice liqueur. 

tasty

Go Go Go then Stop

Composer since my youngest age ... I'm interested in all the music from the moment they transport me and give me emotions ... I play a dozen instruments and compositions, here, are played on the keyboard or with the real instrument because I'm not a programer except for a paid work...
I am above all a melodist ... I work very little texts is another job that also takes time!
There is no finished product here, these are only tests or covers for fun. I think I said everything to introduce myself, so good listening ... and it's nice to have read so far !

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement.
