Retro Active - Music & Lyrics by REKHA a.k.a REKHA - IYERN FE

Intro

Oh 
Hey Hey
Oh 
Hey Hey
Hey Hey

I'm a woman with a sonic gun
I can be electrifying
I'm the woman with the sonic gun
I can be age defying

Born to be free a wild child
Retro Active
Born to be free a wild child
A blast from the past

Retro Retro 
Retro Retro

I am Retro Active
From a significant era
I am Retro Active
Born to make you wild

Retro Active 
I was born to be Retro Active
Retro Active
I'm of a serious sophisticated kind

Like Zep, Bowie
I learned from the best
Eno and Kraftwerk
Retro Active ever so cool and distinct
You can never make me extinct

In your face obtrusive
You can never get away from me
I'm your intellectual beauty
A woman of high fine
I'm a walkin' talkin' leatherette

Phenomenal
Phenomenal kind
Phenomenal
Phenomenal kind

Retro Active I am

Retro Active
Born to be free 
I'm a wild child
Retro Active 
Your serious blast from the past

In your face obtrusive
You can never get a way from me
I am Retro Active

Sixties, Seventies, Eighties, Nineties 
Not Two Thousand 
But from the beautiful Retro Active
Time...Time...Time
Your blast from the past

I want
I'm your Wonder Woman with the sonic gun
Electrifying
I can be age defying
Born to be f-r-e-e
Your wild child
Retro Active

Yesterday's Song

This is about making a change in life.  

Lyrics;
The walls are thin in the place that I live
And it's always so loud outside
The neighbors scream and shout on either side of me
Sometimes it's hard to sleep at night
Trying to sing a song that I heard yesterday
But I just can't recall the words
The Neighbors banging on the wall hey keep it down in there
Leave the singing for the birds
But it's a sunny day. No need to stay inside
Time for me to put the foot to the pedal.
And go out for a ride
The town is very small but it's the world I live in
And there's a freeway that is rolling by.
The coffee shops drawing in the weary drivers
Hot caffeine will open up those eyes
The traffic lights are always red way too long
The green light's just a short and sweet surprise
Is there somewhere else that I ought to be
Another kind of place to live my life
Well it's a sunny day out in the countryside
And freedom is the road that I to travel
So I'm going for a ride
Going for a ride to get my mind steady
Not coming back unless I'm good and ready
It's a sunny day the world is big and wide
And I've got time to spend
I'm going for a ride

'Strong' is a song I wrote after a policeman instructed me to leave a city’s shopping street while I was working as a street artist. I was so… can I say ‘pissed’? So I had to write a song about it. This was 1992. I played the streets a couple of years when I was a student.

The lyrics of the song (below) point to a broader and still current subject. Staying strong in dynamic times is important for every one of us I think. Today more than ever probably. Follow your personal believes in peace all :)

Lyrics, music, vocals, guitar and copyright Mike Spring
Guitar is a Crafter or a EKO steel string acoustic, I'm not sure
Recording: live, analogue (Tascam 4-track)

This is a recording of a song 'just written'. In this respect I should have uploaded it on my other page https://soundcloud.com/sketches-from-holland/tracks but I didn't :)

Mix: In Cubase I edited a small guitar part around 1:03 minutes because I played one chord a little too long which interrupted the meter of the song.
Master: The stereo WAV track I used had been mastered before so it was not clean when I mastered it again. 
Equipment: Steinberg UR824, Ozone 7 adv. (EQ, Imager and Vintage tape) plus Lexicon LXP Native Hall Reverb VST

Lyrics:

Hey what’s your name
I’m not a game to play
Hey we’re the same
You should feel ashamed to say
I don’t belong to this day

[chorus:]
If you think you’re strong
I’ve got something for you
Cause I feel strong
I think my way
Nothing’s gonna change that
I think my way
It makes me what I am
I feel strong
I feel strong

Day by day
Strongen my way   [note: I know this is not proper English 😉]
Leaded by the inner words I pray
Hey I’m not afraid
To feel the shade
Because I know who I am

[chorus]

Strong

Strong (live recording / 1992)

Just had reconstructive knee surgery and have had some time rehabilitating to practice my piano and vocal work. Thanks for listening.

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?
Look around round
Look around round round
Look around
Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

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.
