So Far Away (Stabbing Westward Cover)

Stark

The Title of the song can be understood in 2 ways:
1. a reflection of the current Corona crisis we are in
2. the feeling I still have since I play this 8 string beast, that I bought myself in January 2020. Always used to be at home on 6 strings, this one is really a challenge, which I am getting only slowly under control.
 Never in my life I had to search on a guitar for the deep e-string :-)

This song is my attempt to process the wrenching incident that took place in my hometown on Memorial Day.  My hope is that real change will come from George Floyd’s murder though 2020 is seeming eerily similar to 1968.  
Tech note:  the jet plane heard in the recording was not intentional, just bad timing.  ***Updated with live drum kit 3/26/2023.***

Close your eyes
Til you can see it
look inside
Til you believe it 

A weight is upon us now
Digging itself a hole...
When it seems it’s beyond us now
It’s time to take control..

Free your soul
Til it confounds you
Take the time...
As it surrounds you

I see you lying there
Reaching for your last breath
Your future is dyin there
While the whole nation wept

A city cries
Beneath the skies
We gotta try 
To get it right...

Get It Right

About a month ago or so I got this idea for a new song tumbling down in my head.
 I recorded it and was thinking it needed some powerful guitars, so I sendt it over to Dave to ask if he would like to contribute,
I was very happy when he said yes to do it
When I heard what Dave did with the song I knew it was going to be huge. Dave is a great player and
his guitar solos are out of this world "flying High" with tons of energy.
Beside I want to thank him for his superb job with the mix and mastering
 When we started the project I wasn`t sure if it was going to be an instrumental tune or not.
But one good thing leads to another, we found out that the song needed vocals.
 And what a thrill to have with us now the fabulous singer mr. Jimmy Rivas.
I must say Jimmy nailed the song both with his amazing voice and his lyrics.
Not to forget the great studio musician John O` Reiily jr. who did the powerful drumming for us

Thank you so much guys, together we have created a unique and original ROCK SONG

Pop this on and groove for a while... 
Stringburner sets that great funky groove down low, Sam's flute is dancing and Al's burning it up on guitar.  And they dance and dance.  So much fun on our original, Good Luck.
How nice to line up this ensemble - each of these guys is superb.  Mirko's https://soundcloud.com/stringburner driving a classic '72 Mustang Mach 1 and it shows.  His and our deep love for Jaco comes through here too.  Follow his extensive collection of recordings with some of my favorite players.  We've done over 60 tunes together:
Sam Mendez https://soundcloud.com/santi-caballero has such a wonderful sound here on flute, and so tastefully lightens it up with his gorgeous latin phrasing.  Fortune to have him as he's just returned from gigs in beautiful Mallorca.  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-santi-caballero
Alan Schulman https://soundcloud.com/alanschulman  plugs in here - a good thing - and pushes us all with his drive, articulation and chops.  https://www.alanschulman.com  Check out the superb music he creates with his wife Stacey, with As Is.  https://www.asisjazz.com. She is a wonderful vocalist.  Here's a playlist of tunes we have recorded together:  https://soundcloud.com/jamie-rhind/sets/swinging-with-al-schulman and Al wrote the liner notes to one of my first albums.
Great stuff guys.  And thanks to all for your generous time listening, for your comments and for your shares

Good Luck - Mirko Borach  /  Sam Mendez  /  Al Schulman  /  Jamie Rhind
