King Kong (SWR Session - 1973)

Bandurrias at Night

"Don’t Want to Be Your Gogo" tells the playful yet soulful story of a mature man being seduced by a young woman (of age). Mixing funk, jazz, soul and alternative vibes, this track brings groovy basslines, sharp guitar licks and jazzy harmonies with a storytelling edge
« Don’t Want to Be Your Gogo » raconte l’histoire à la fois espiègle et pleine d’âme d’un homme mûr dragué par une jeune femme (majeure bien sûr). Entre funk, jazz, soul et touches alternatives, le morceau mêle lignes de basse groovy, riffs de guitare funky et harmonies jazzy dans un esprit narratif.

Don't wanna be your gogo

Odyssey

Brass Tacks Remastered (Unloved Tracks)

Hello. So funny, as years ago I was jamming with a bunch of friends and I asked Allen what he was playing on guitar when we took a break. He said… it’s a simple farming song. I laughed as the melody was great. Maybe most of my songs have been simple farming songs. This one definitely is. It came about after I was exploring some overdriven slide guitar, trying to work up a heavy Blues tune. None of that was panning out, so I just grabbed the Dobro and kept it simple. Everything about the song just fell into place, to include some vocal shenanigans. In other news, I’ve got a long chore list to get after before the snow flies. One quick chore was climbing up on the garage and shoveling Bandit’s droppings off the roof by the apple tree he loves. Bandit is a raccoon. It also gave me a chance to pick some apples on the branches that overhang the roof. I left more apples than I picked… for Bandit and the deer that come in here… Bandit likes apples and unknowingly helps to fertilize the apple tree. Everyone pulls their weight down here on the farm. Hahahaha. Birds are migrating through in waves now. I sit out on the porch in an old chair and watch them. Sometimes I get to see a bird or two I haven’t seen before and look in the field guide to try and ID it. So there’s a bit of ornithology going on ‘round here too. Anyway, I hope you’re doing well wherever you are, with whatever you’re doing these days. Thanks for dropping by for a spell. Mark

Down Here On The Farm

Comme un Dimanche

Industrial 2

I was down like a pilot in a war 
Wreckage, wreckage 
Then she broke my freefall 

I fell fast no warning around me
Wreckage, wreckage
Then she walked me away

I woke in a city without a name
Sirens shot the darkness with sound

She said her name was Mercy so I knew
Wreckage, wreckage
Then she flickered and swayed

I was down like a pilot in a war
Wreckage, wreckage
Then she broke my freefall
Then she broke my freefall

Wreckage (with Joliz)

A gentle, heartfelt cover of Time After Time performed on the Yamaha PSR-S775. I’ve kept this version warm, intimate, and true to the original emotion of the song, using the S775’s soft pads, light percussion, and expressive voices to bring out the melody.
This track is part of my ongoing journey to grow as a keyboard player and share honest, authentic performances with you all.
Your feedback and support mean a lot, and every listen helps me improve and create more music

My friends always have interesting suggestions for covers. This was a challenge arranging a song written for piano, but rewarding for me to do.

Wilderness by Sarah McLachlan

I'll always remember the day we first met
Fires of September still burning their best
The sky full of smoke, full of promise
Of anything possible

It felt like a dream to feel safe in your arms
Despite all the warnings, I fell for your charms
The earth opened up like desire
It was unstoppable

You lay down your history, your battle scars
But all I could see were the stars

So, I don't want to blame you, but my heart is shattered
How could you leave us like none of it mattered?
This kind of love comes but once, maybe twice if you're lucky
Time's running out
So, why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles
I'm right here beside you, the calm in your storm
But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness

You came back, you begged me, I bought what you sold
I gave my forgiveness, I set the bar low
'Cause all along, you had another life somewhere
With somebody other than me

I let myself down in the name of love
Chasing illusions of you

So, I don't want to blame you, but my heart is shattered
I should have known better, I should have run faster
But this kind of love comes but once, maybe twice if you're lucky
Time's running out
So, why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles
I'm right here beside you, the calm in your storm
But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness

We do best we can with the tools that we've got
But a home can't survive a foundation of rot
There's no pretty words to dress up the betrayal
As anything but what it is

So, I guess I can blame you 'cause my heart is shattered
You took what you wanted like none of it mattered
'Cause this kind of love comes but once, maybe twice if you're lucky
Your luck is all run out
So, don't try to tell me you're sorry
I'm so tired of all of your bullshit, your weakness and fear
You can take yourself into your wilderness
And disappear
