Great composition with 3/4 time fitting the song well!

we all like to think of these times ..these memories that will always remain ...just being a kid ;)

Memories, how this song brings them back for me to Dan !!

Monday Playlist week of 10/11/2021

Try not to dwell on the tough times.  So many good things in  life
to reflect on -- a good woman, birth of my babies, them growing up
and moving on, friends and family for support.  Ah, keep your
heart on fire!

My Heart's On Fire  (Original)

Dan Blackard says.  I was thinking of what to write for this track while sitting in the parking lot at 4:30 in the morning. When for no particular reason visions of my youth and things I vaguely remember started to just flash into my mind. I almost just let the thoughts go. But, some of the memories seemed vivid. The commercials, tv shows and many of the things that, for only the briefest of times, meant a great deal to me.  And then I realized that my head was actually telling me that this was the song. Or, it's more than possible that I was half asleep😆.

Lyrics;
There's the doggy in the window
There's a red balloon
And hey diddle diddle
The cow that jumped over the moon

There's the marbles and jacks
Cartoon mouse and cat
And toys from the days
From when Santa got fat

And I can still find
In the back of my mind
All of the things
This kid left behind

Some crayons and books
Not to read, just for looks
And the big cookie jar
from where all the cookies were took

An old piggy bank
Plastic soldiers and tank
A box of Mr. Bubbles
In the tub where my submarine sank

And I can still find
In the back of my mind
All of the things
This kid left behind

Gumby and Pokey
Ranger hat from Smokey
The old hot wheels cars
A book of Sneetches with stars on thars
Big Tonka truck
The old rubber duck
Let go of my eggos
watch out for the legos.

And I can still find
In the back of my mind
All of those things
This kid left behind

PARENTAL ADVISORY (with Modes About Me & The Mysterious Decibel)

Only three years late, party long finished. I came across this on my old hard drive and thought it right to post it now. One of many I intended to finish but have left the chisel marks visible

Original here https://soundcloud.com/learningtoplay/out-there-somewhere and much more to enjoy 

Fantastic experimental guitar noises and sounds form the backcloth. Beats from lincolnproduction. Vocals and additional guitars by me.

Out There Somewhere - Learningtoplay With Nicholas Ridiculous

This is actually a remix of the song “Where We Want To Be” which I shared about four years ago when I first joined Soundcloud.   “Winter's Road” was in fact the original title when the song was written.  So I decided to fall back to that with this remix.   See what you think.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
I cannot speak for all who stem
Long road less traveled as their way,
Nor question choices made by them
In days long past or nights long dim
By words they spoke and did not say.

(Chorus)
All roads lead to where we go
Where we go is where we have been,
So home’s just a word we know,
For where we want to be again.

From North to South, then back again,
I followed birds like all the rest
Escaping nature's snowy den
On roads I've seen and places been,
Forsaking roads that traveled West.

Repeat Chorus

For even home, it seems to me,
Is still a choice we all must face
From day to day and endlessly,
To choose if home is gonna to be
Another road or just a place.

Repeat Chorus

Winter's Road

Here's the first Anomon & Elliot recording in a New Series of musical conversations in 'The Livingroom', in February 2023. And today (Feb. 21st it's #2 on the SC New & Hot Ambient Chart in North America. 

The tones and textures Tim created on his guitar as we began improvising reminded me of the Erhu.. the two stringed Chinese instrument played with a bow. It felt like we were actually looking out over the amazing horizon in the photo above, filled with wonder. Shortly after, we found our way into the musical equivalent of Para-Gliding over the clouds in very cool n joyous groove that continues to pulse through until the finish.

We hope you'll enJOY, too. 😊

Oh, Yeah!
Well, The Sun Comes Up
And, the Sun Goes Down
And......I'm Tired of Walking
The Streets of this Old Town
Haven't Seen You Around
Maybe I'll check at The Lost and Found
Oh Yeah, but, there's one thing
And I know it's True
Cuz', Baby, I ain't going Nowhere......
Without You
No, I ain't going nowhere 
Without You.....Yeah
That's Alright
Oh, Yeah, It's OK
Listen to what I say now
To what I say......
Cuz' The Sun Comes Up
And the Sun Goes Down
Said I'm Tired of Walking 
Around this Crazy Old Town
But, there's One Thing
And I know It's True
I don't want to be here 
Without You
No.... Without You
I Don't want to be here
Baby, Without You!
(REPEAT LAST LINES)
Portuguese  Translated Lyrics
Oh sim!
Bem, o sol nasce
E, o sol se põe
E ...... Estou cansado de andar
As ruas desta cidade velha
não te vi por aqui
Talvez eu vou encontra-te em achados e perdidos
Oh Sim, mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Cuz, Bebê, eu não estou indo a lugar nenhum ......
Sem você
Não, eu não vou a lugar nenhum
Sem Você ..... Sim
Tudo bem
Oh, Sim, é OK
Ouça o que eu digo agora
Para o que eu digo......
Porque "o sol nasce
E o sol se põe
Disse que estou cansado de andar
Em torno desta cidade louca e Velha
Mas, há uma coisa
E eu sei que é verdade
Eu não quero estar aqui
Sem você
Não .... Sem Você
Eu não quero estar aqui
Bebê, sem você!

My Frist Track for the new album. Mixing with my new high end equipment. A song of reflection about the early music festival scene near San Francisco  where I grew up.

Freedom Free Love Free To Be Heard by GLEN GRANTHEM
Play it like you use to play it when you were young
Tearing up a fret board until you reached number one
Spend those days on the green lost in the crowd
Shoulder to shoulder as the band rocks out
Singing songs about peace and love and Smoking grass as guitars strum

Day after day the music was life 
Turntables spin all through the night
One hand on a pipe carved out of stone
All your friends felt right at home
With both hands in the air and Every face wore long hair
Viet Nam was miles away  Every song had its place
Solo
The sixties were like no other time in our life
Draft cards ,Protests , Equal rights
We were coming of age to save the world
Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard
Singing songs about peace and love Smoking grass as Guitars Strum
With Both hands in the air 
Singing Songs About Peace and Love.....

Freedom , Free Love , Free To Be Heard ( Original ) with Lyrics

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.
