great lyrics and matching forbidding/warning melody..I take this as something I agree is not good..immersion into the internet/virtual reality and losing touch with the tree lights and damp night air will dissolve our connection to each other ..loss of empathy leads to insensitive indifference to bad things

Cool Dylan inspired vocal.  Love the lyrical theme: blurred lines between reality and the virtual worlds.

Love the blend of sounds, guitar is killing it

Ominous and intriguing, all at once. Y'all are unique, true to yourselves in your stylings. Yep. ⁓Rebecca

Really nice chord progression and vocal style

I wrote this guitar theme many years ago for a song with vocals:

now i thought its time to re-record it and make a reduced accoustic version

IPG1 - Purple Microdot The Allure Pt.2 (RiZLiX Remix)

Original music by: Francois Pierre Morin/FPMORINSTUDIO

G Groove 98 Mix 2023

This is The Shadows In The Shade.  It's about "living in a simulation" theory.

Lyrics:
Watching every move you make
Hearing every thought
Knowing everything you are
And everything you're not

Nothing will you try to do
Nothing do you say
Shadows in the shade
Providing you the way

Every move you make, your own
Believe what you believe
Yet doing things with cause unknown
Is too much to conceive

Barely take a moment's pause
Then get on with your day
Back on track and for the cause
For that's the chosen way

Connecting and collecting
Minds and souls to trade
Blending in the background
Shadows in the shade

In another lifetime
Outside in the sun
Playing games with those they knew
Real friends having fun

Mothers called the children home
When the sun went down
Street lights brightly shined the way
For all the kids in town

Immersing in the virtual
Real worlds to the eyes
Without a question follow paths
As if hypnotized

Somewhere in the deepest dream
A voice is calling out
Street lights brightly shine the way
Then suddenly go out

Morning brings a brand new day
In time all dreams will fade
All part of the simulation
From shadows in the shade

The Shadows In The Shade

This is a song that we co-wrote, a simple love ballad that includes a brief piano/electric guitar duet between verses. The subject is self-explanatory. A belated Happy Valentines wish before February melts into the Saint Patrick’s season!

Lyrics:

Of all the things I ever held
Of all that's wrong and right
Nothing makes me smile like you
Or hold onto so tight
Of all the time that filled my eyes
The days I’ve sifted through
What could make me more alive
Than time I spent with you
And nothing hurts as much as missing you

If heaven was a place to find
It’s always been in you
Like a secret key you turned
I opened up to you 
And like an angel bathed me in your light, you made me whole..
Of all the places I have been 
I’ve never felt more home 
I miss your laughter and your hand in mine, 
And I will love you far beyond our time

Nothing Like You

Lived on Blues Point Road for 10 years, till 2020. That's Blues Point Hotel in the pic. I thought 'Blues Point Road' would make a good name for a guitar blues!

Blues Point Road

30 years ago, we lost a good one on the set of The Crow.
To Brandon Lee, an enduring spirit of darkness and light.
We CAN overcome death with our impact.

Call your people today, let them know you love them.

For my dark friends, keep going. TD

BIRD (FLY TO FREEDOM)

Row Your Own Boat

Another song written by Paul Cook (Sade) and his Uncle Alistair Cook from the City of Hull, England. Paul sang the song with his Uncle on backing vocals. Paul created all the music parts on his trusty Korg M1 at the time of recording and produced the track in the Hull studio. Somewhere on Hedon Road,Hull? Alistair came up with the Lyrics and melody for the song. Again a battled ensued as to who was going to sing the lead vocal :)

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.

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,

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.
