This song is addictive. I need to put this in a playlist.

Very catchy !! Enjoying that western motif too:)

Liking the twists and turns of this road song guys.

another really enjoyable musical adventure...great track Dan x2

Orthodox rock and roll and cool 🎸✨🎶 And the glossy vocals are also cool ✨🎶

Cross the Lines

Just like "Analog Funk", the foundation of this song was developed by Impulse, who supplied some of sounds through the Arcade plugin. These particular tracks were later condensed into a single .m4a file, a process that took multiple attempts to complete. This alleviated the need to download the Arcade plugin onto my computer but also came at the expense of restricted control over individual instrument parameters. Granted, this was a sacrifice we willingly made.

I asked Impulse to record Digital Funk at a slightly faster tempo than Analog Funk to reflect the hurried nature of the digital world. On my end, I restructured some chord changes and section durations and carved out brand new passages for more variety.

Impulse: synth and bass programming, samples, songwriting, arrangement

Sinny: synth, bass, and rhythm programming, nose whistle, kalimba, Wavedrum, octo-snare cajon, djembe, talking drum, tambourine, maracas, jam block, samples, arrangement

As liviing in an alternate universe, deju made this mix of buma's song "Into the Drive  : https://soundcloud.com/bumabuma/into-the-drive

Into The (Orchestral) Drive / kagayaku hako (orchestral) mix

I've been in love with making slow synth covers of songs, here's another late night version of a classic: Mr. Blue by the Fleetwoods, released in 1983

Lyrics: 

Our guardian star lost all his glow
The day that I lost you
He lost all his glitter the day you said no
Now his silver turned to blue

Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true
But if you decide to call on me
Ask for Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue 
When you say you love me 
Then prove it by goin' out on the sly
Proving your love isn't true
Call me Mr. Blue

I'm Mr. Blue 
When you say you're sorry 
Then turn around, head for the lights of town
Hurting me through and through
Call me Mr. Blue

I stay at home at night
Right by the phone at night 
But you won't call
And I won't hurt my pride 

I won't tell you 
Why you paint the town 
A bright red to turn it upside down
I'm painting it too
But I'm painting it blue
Call me Mr. Blue 
Call me Mr. Blue 
Call me Mr. Blue

Mr. Blue

Lyrics: 

I drew a line
Still wet, don’t touch the ground
If you feel moonless
Just meet this palatial sky

When he realized
That gloomy wave
Was gushing from her brain
He crossed the Line
And told her 
The story of eggshelling space

You took the Line 
made it round 
And pushed it far beyond me

Hit the ground crawling, seems a thousand years ago,
Ever since been falling down, no place I called home.
Now the tides of time are rising, waters lapping high,
No sense in compromising when you’ve no need for goodbyes.

Would have made peace with the Lord, if only I could find him,
Never did return my calls, guess he’s time a-bidin’.
So I figured as I’m all alone, and ever so shall be,
Grind my boots down to the bone, walking to my destiny.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

At my silhouetted bridge of sighs, pause to catch the river air,
Reflecting on a life slipped by, meet my solitary stare.
So I’ll lay me ‘neath the willows at the babbled brook-side edge,
Mossy rock eternal pillow, sand my final bed.

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Though where I’m headed heaven knows,
Never prayed for guidance then, too late for it now.
Bloodshot eyes meet rising sun, 
No surprise I’m moving on,
Oftentimes, two can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

………

But I’ll paint the clouds before I go, 
Where I’m headed the freight train knows,
Distant crying whistle calling softly to me now.
Drenched eyes fall ‘neath setting sun, 
Final call for moving on,
After all, even one can be a crowd.
Guess I was never bound for glory painting clouds.

Passing Through Lyrics

This is Passing Through.  Dan Blackard wrote the lyrics in about ten minutes. The music gave him an image of driving down a desert road toward Las Vegas. Like the desert, it can be a very tricky place to spend time. So this guy is passing through! 

Dan B. used his old Gretsch out to add a little twang!  This is good old fashioned rock! 

Feel good music.

Lyrics;
Got the cactus and the sand
Steering wheel in my hand
And long long way to go
Got the lizards and the snakes
And occasional earthquakes
Yeah, it's all part of the show

And the desert sun can burn you down
This ain't no place to stick around
And woe to those who do
Got the city in my sights
Heavy traffic and neon lights
Where the winners and the losers still sing the blues

Got the gamblers and the girls
It's a fast and wild world
Where the wolves hunt sheep who have no clue
One arm bandits take your cash
Your left with nothing in a flash
But this here story is nothing new
And it's not for me so I'm passing through

Say so long to the front of me
A trail of dust is what you're gonna see
So right after howdy do
Say goodbye, I'm passing through

Yeah just think of me as as flash of light
A shooting star in the dark of night
Someone you almost knew
That's passing through

Got the cactus and the sand
Steering wheel in my hand,,,

And a long way to go

Slippery slope

Dear friends,
to the people of Afganistan!
This song might be a fiction, but is it from real life......??
You get so very sad when you see pictures of faces filled with fear, confusion and sadness!

Confused

I recently heard about
some folks who confused are
They don’t know what to do these days
should they stay in their home, or can they go out
and what clothes can they wear, maybe not what they have
and the shops in their towns are closed down

I heard that the girls and their moms
must change their lifes from now
they are also afraid of the guys
who are patrolling the streets all the days and nights
can the girls see their friends and can they go to their schools
that is a big question that they have

Their country is ruled by pious men
at least it is what these men say
and the future will show if they are right
and the world wish You luck - we will think of You
that You all will be safe and be treated with respect
and that You folks will have a pleasent life

 Approximate translation into Swedish
Förvirrad
Jag hörde nyligen om
några som är förvirrade
De vet inte vad de ska göra nuförtiden
ska de stanna i sitt hem, eller kan de gå ut
och vilka kläder kan de ha på sig, kanske inte vad de har
och butikerna i deras städer stängs

Jag hörde att tjejerna och deras mammor
måste ändra sitt liv från och med nu
de är också rädda för killarna
som patrullerar på gatorna alla dagar och nätter
kan tjejerna se sina vänner och kan de gå till deras skolor
det är en stor fråga som de har

Deras land styrs av fromma män
åtminstone är det vad dessa män säger
och framtiden får visa om de har rätt
och världen önskar dig lycka till - vi kommer att tänka på dig
att ni alla kommer att vara trygga och behandlas med respekt
och att ni får ett trevligt liv

Whats Eating You Brother? (By Fady and Janine)

Dan X2 is Dan Blackard (Reno, Nevada & Susanville, California) and Dan Lockhart (Carmel, Indiana & Edwardsville, Illinois).  We met here on SoundCloud.  We like making music together.  We have written and published over 300 songs together.  More songs written together than Lennon and McCartney.

The ProgRockDan1 site was taken down by SoundCloud. It was located here:
https://soundcloud.com/progrockdan1

We play the music that comes to us.  Much of our music has a basis in blues and rock.  Although we venture into other musical territory.  You will find hints of jazz, country, bluegrass, soul, classical, and other music in our songs.  We have a number of songs that change time signatures and pace.

When we first started recording we called ourselves Dan and Dan. 
 You can find our music under that moniker here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-590884876

We stopped using the name Dan and Dan's because there were to many other Dan's using that name.  If you google Dan and Dan we would not show up.  We believe that Dan X2 to be a moniker that we could own.   If you google Dan X2 we are right at the top,

and other on-line music sites.

We have a music making process that fits our unique skills.  We each do the parts that best fit our skills and interests.  Dan Lockhart does the initial song development.  Dan Blackard writes the lyrics, perform the vocals, and adds lead guitar.  Dan Lockhart then takes the track and do all final production (mixing and mastering).

Dan Lockhart writes all of the chords, timing, changes, and develops the track.  I then send two tracks to Dan Blackard.  One track has Dan L. describing the song.  Tell him the key, the timing, and any oddities about the song (changing keys or time signature...).  In the track Dan L tell Dan B verbally where is the verse, chorus, bridge and any other important information.

Dan Lockhart then send a second track that does not have this verbal dialogue.  This is called the instrumental track.  This is a track to which Dan B. can sing and add his parts.  Dan Blackard then returns  four pieces to Dan L:  a complete version of the song, a solo track of his vocals, a solo track of his guitar parts, and the artwork to accompany the song.

Dan Lockhart add his information into the original file.  Dan L. listen to it and make changes to the song to enhance the meaning of the lyrics. He sometimes adds instruments or takes away some instruments.  As Dan L. play many instruments (guitar, keyboards, banjo, mandolin, pedal steel, violin, viola...), he can make a lot of adjustments.    On rare occasions he move pieces about.  Dan Lockhart then masters it and prepare it for final production.
