Started as bass groove after going to a Thundercat gig, needed something else so came up with the 11 note repeating figure on guitar which was then doubled on keys to give an almost Steve Reich type effect. 

One to check out start to finish if you have the time, thanks for listening. For the guitar geeks there's a wee solo at the end.

Drums: NI Karriem Riggins.
Bass: Warwick 5-string Corvette through NI Guitar Rig and during the 11 note sequence section sustained notes on NI Monark synth bass.
Guitars: Suhr Custom Classic and Strandberg Salen Jazz through a few instances of NI Guitar Rig. Short solo at the end is the Suhr.
Keys: various NI, Arturia and Spitfire.
Mastering: Ozone 10 Standard.
DAW: Ableton 12.

Talk It Up

Lyrics:

Here comes the night to dim out the light
Burn the candle light until the morning comes
Things will be great if we can wait
Till then I sing this song
And hope it won’t be long

The candle flickers bright, giving us sight
As far as we can see, there’s stillness in the night
Another day has passed, wash away at last
The things that I’ve done wrong
And you know I’ve been wrong

So play guitar and pluck the strings
Forget all the wicked things
I don’t need to be angry anymore

The wind between the hills, giving me chills
The frost will be melted by the morning light
What’s lost we lament in holy sacrament
The distant sun will rise
And shine into our eyes

The morning dew will form, a new day is born
The birth of the light is beginning now
The birds they will sing, the sun beams killing
The darkness of the night
Today I’ll make things right

So forgive all your evil deeds
Sew the ground with your new seeds
I don’t need to be angry anymore

I Don't Need To Be Angry (Anymore)

SPIKED

This song describes a person who has spent his entire life in the same town, enjoying friends and all the comforts of familiar places and people. But as the years advance he becomes more fixated on the increasing number of friends that have passed on, leaving him to contemplate his approaching fate. He determines that he has to leave his home town to escape the unnerving confines and find renewed hope for his future.

Lyrics:     So Long by Craig Durgy

There’s too many gravestones here for me to hang around
I see them grow from row to row
Like weeds up from the ground
They used to be all faceless, a place to calm me down
But the start of each new row 
Was the end of folks I know 
I’ve been too long saying so long in this town

There ain’t much to be said, that ain’t been said a lot before 
And nothing changes anything, it’s either less or more
Less familiar faces, more stones to gather for
If I stay here for too long, then
I will surely be among them
I’ve been too long saying so long in this town

The setting sun’s long shadows come, and slowly form a wall
And I can’t ignore the call to look away
If tomorrow ever comes again it comes again for me, 
It’s gotta be, where I can breathe, 
A brand new day, I cannot stay

If I head down to Allentown and find a fair-haired lass
And settle in till I begin to lose track of the past
We’ll go to malls and carnivals, we’ll ride the coaster fast
It has its ups and downs
But it always comes back round
I’ve been too long saying so long in this town
I’ve been too long saying so long to this town

So Long

Always A Perfect Day
In a world of unrest, war and forced overtime. Life can get so heavy it weighs you down. Come plug in to a world of peace and tranquility. Where no matter the news or weather, every day is a perfect day.

Lyrics,
No worries 'bout the weather
That's what everyone will say
Clouds or rain or warm sunshine
Always a perfect day

Hear the buzzing in the air
From electric power lines
The vibe will pulse right through your feet
Bringing comfort your mind

I came here in a troubled time
And lost the will to leave
With nothing in my pockets
No aces up my sleeve

I faded to the background
A sinking boat still mored
Hypnotized by rhythmic waves
Until totally absorbed 

Floating in a real live dream
This is where you get away
Let go the world that brought you here
That's the only price you'll pay

Connect your own paradise
If you come here plan to stay
Lose your mind come rain or shine
Always a perfect day

Always A Perfect Day

Written and recorded before breakfast. I  later re-did backing though and used subscription to re-upload 

Please let me let you down
I'm just a clown
My mind isn't sound 
It's known around town
Could you let me let you down?
Do let me lay about 
I've never been stout 
In my struggle with doubt 
Until I get gout
Please let me lay about 
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Why don't we embrace love?
Embrace love
Would you let me let you lie?
Let your heart calcify 
I couldn't let myself comply 
Quite brave for a wise guy 
Would you let me let you lie?
Never could let you let me down
With words and deeds that confound
So let's wear a long gown 
And watch the sun going down 
Never never never let me let you down
Never let me let you down

Never Let Me Let You Down

Pour mémoire, et par amour de la voix veloutée de cette basse électrique, nouveau mix pour cette chanson de 2021
 PAROLES
Les souvenirs sont comme les chats
Amour faut-il qu’il m’en souvienne ?
C’est toujours sans bruit qu’ils reviennent
Assis sur leurs pattes de velours

Les souvenirs sont comme des rois
 Dont il ne reste que la tour
Tout autour les chats font leur cour
Assis sur leurs pattes de velours

Les souvenirs sont comme les chats
 C’est toujours au cœur qu’ils surprennent
On suit leurs traces dans la rue
Au moment où on ne les attend plus

Les souvenirs sont comme les chats
C’est toujours au cœur qu’ils reviennent
On entend leurs pas dans la rue
 Quand on les croyait disparus
___________________________________________________________
Memories are like cats
Love, must I remember it?
It is always without noise that they return
Sitting on their velvet paws

Memories are like kings
 Of which only the tower remains
All around, cats are courting
Sitting on their velvet paws

Memories are like cats
 It is always at the heart that they surprise
We follow in their footsteps in the street
At a time when we no longer expect them

Memories are like cats
It is always to the heart that they return
You can hear their footsteps in the street
 When we thought they were extinct

les souvenirs sont comme les chats
