A great musical moment .... with a perfect approach for this tribute ....

Love Cancel is work Found him 40 years ago. Uh oh In dating myself!

Very nice track.  It soars like Vangelis!

The October 2022 DIAMC writing prompt was about displacement, taking a character either fictional or real and putting them into an alternative reality. I imagined a world where Little Red was all grown up and off to the bright lights and big city, in search of Mr Wolf.

Demo, recorded in the spare bedroom of our holiday cottage in Ackergill.



Little Red

Little Red she’s grown up proper
Little Red, nothing’s going to stop her
She’s going to shine, like the moon
Mr Wolf, big man in the city
Mr Wolf sure likes them pretty
In for a surprise, Mr Wolf
You’d better watch that back
Look both ways
She’s coming for her due
Little Red

Little Red, headed for the Hood
Telling Granny she is going to be good
She may be lying, but honest she’s trying
Little Red steps into his bar
Mr Wolf greets her with a snarl
“Hrrrrrrrr, Babe, you’re looking swell”
Little Red flicks back long hair
Walks by, ignoring his stare
“Make mine a double on the rocks 
And wipe that look, off your face,
I swapped out that blunt old axe,
For some Mace
And I’m not afraid to use it,
Don’t need a Woodcutter no more.”

Little Red, now she’s a star
Mr Wolf, he’s gone and bought her a car
And a house, and a yacht, and a ring
He fell under her spell
Little Red, she played him so well
But damn, that girl could sing
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

“Turned out there’d been a bit of a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf isn’t all bad, you know? Last I heard…he’d gone and bought Granny…a new condo”

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

"Turns out, it had all been a misunderstanding. Mr Wolf, well, he is all bad you know. In fact, the last I heard, he'd gone a bought Granny a new condo.

Ahoooooo, Little Red
Ahoooooo, Little Red

A Separate Reality mixed up by Llanpsych

Ken - drums and tremolo guitar
Tez - lead guitar and mixing up

Mixed Up Reality - with Entheogenic Psychonaut (Josh Clary) and K2 and the Three

The Cue Tube prompt, based on this artwork, made by Chris "Torone" CB.

The railroad track was a starting point, which resulted in lots of arpeggios and synth-elements that move in and out of the song.

Don't know why, maybe it's because I really dig "regular" pop songs, so I always tend to use A/B and C sections in a track. There's some slight build-up, but all in all tried to keep the harmonies 'hanging' on the rhythm of the railroad 🙂

Train Of Thought

Radical Chic

Written in 2005 (after our trip to New Zealand), Shady was one of the tracks on my first album Into The Wildness. This song came to me whilst I was making concrete with a cement mixer for an extension I was building on our house. A dragon fly flew past me and took me straight back to our trip around the Bay of Islands on our friends catamaran, Shady Lady. It's a simple song of escapism.

This recording was a later version recorded at home sometime between 2010/2015.

Hangin From The Trees

Shady

I asked Xian3 if he'd like to add his input to a previous dance song instrumental.  IMHO, his vocals give it an 80's on-the-dance-floor feel.

Music and Lyrics: Mike Krath
Vocals: Xian3

Lyrics:
There are chords D, A, C, E, 
But no N. 
where’s N?
On the dance floor,

Again,
These chords D, A, C, E, 
But no N. 
where’s N?
On the dance floor.

There’s E as a solitary chord,
But where’s L, O, V?
Where’s its companions? Huh?
On the dance floor,
On the dance floor. 

D, A, C, E,
L, O, V,
N side,
The dance floor. 

N, R, Y,
with E and G,
And B and T
With E and A,
Where?
WHERE?
On the dance floor,
On the dance floor.

D, A, C, E,
L, O, V,
N side,
N side,
N side,
The dance floor.

D, A, C, E.

If you don’t like?
Then you can…
L, O, V it,
Or L, V it. 
If you don't like, 
then you can,
L, O, V it
Or L, V it,
On the dance floor 
On the dance floor.

On The Dance Floor (collab with Xian3)

From an up-coming Tribute album to the work of Vangelis.

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)
