Started life as an acoustic demo. Last month I pulled it out and built a groove around it…and voila! Light, and slightly tongue-in-cheek, a joyful tune about falling in love on New Year’s Eve. The poppiest thing I’ve posted. Vocals shared by Roger S., Jen D B, and myself.

Cast of characters:
Llanpsych–@llanpsych –Tez–Elecrtic guitar, mix, and prodcution
TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman –Stephen– acoustic and electric guitar  
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell -- Piano, synth, and organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–five-string fretless bass and lap steel
  This is a remix that Tez did of a song JJ wrote, and we released a couple weeks ago. He extracted the coda, expanded it, and mixed an ambient groove into it. Basically, he took the sweetest part of the fruit and made a salad with it. Everyone is doing the same thing they were a couple weeks ago, except this time what you're hearing has gone through the filter of Tez's brain. It sounds like almost a completely different song now, and a really fun ride at that. Tez is into ambient music, so this touches on that proclivity, too. When all heard it on Christmas day, we decided immediately that we wanted to share it with all of you. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it, and Tez enjoyed crafting it into something new.

... it just goes on ... and on ... even without you and me

Life Goes On

Walk it off

You can't stop a riot once it starts. The $cience dropping some truth bombs over here with their latest tune.

Lyrics:

Give me the chance and I’ll take it
Give me the chips and I’ll bet red
Going all in on the next bet
Even if it’s fifty percent

Sound the alarm, I’m desperate
Show me the dragon, I’ll slay it
Give me the test and I’ll ace it
With a perfect hundred percent

I’m feeling so lucky tonight
I’m feeling lucky tonight

You can’t stop (riot!)
You can’t stop (riot!)
Go ahead and try it (try it)
I won’t be quiet (quiet)
You can’t stop a riot, riot
Get out of my way

So put up your yellow caution tape
The spike belt on the highway
Ready or not your smoke grenades
Go ahead and prep all you want

I’m feeling so lucky tonight
I’m feeling lucky tonight

You see failure isn’t an option
Willing to risk everything
Deep in the stars it is written
Who’ll emerge victorious

I’m feeling so lucky tonight
I’m feeling lucky tonight

You can’t stop a riot once it starts (riot!)
You can’t stop a riot once it starts (riot!)
So go ahead and try it (try it)
I won’t be quiet (quiet)
You can’t stop a riot, riot
Get out of my way

Those that say it can’t be done
Shield your eyes from the sun
Those that say it can’t be done
Get out of the way of those doing it
Doing it
Get out of the way

Can't Stop a Riot

Iris


There was an iris in the way that I saw you smiling,
dancing to the London song, crying in my mind..
It is so quiet now that the music has faded into night
now that the hymns have gone away, the gardens broke in two

Hold me in the wild winds, calling in the night
tomorrow all these angels gone away
And who we love and what we love, don’t mean a thing to me
it’s just the lights and how they rumble in your head

Iris deeping blue and closing
wrap your body round me mind
drying drowning slowly falling 
gentle show me the unwind...

[I wrote this song a long time ago, back in the ‘80s when I was living in London and signed up to EMI... it was not a ‘suitable’ song for recording back then... heh, no hooks and a loose groove..  but I unearthed it the other day and it just seemed to flow in my own wee studio.  It’s virtually all acoustic, with a light layer of synth... and a few sonic gaps filled here and there...   I played my upright piano and blended that together with the vst piano, kicked a few bottles around and then pretended my poor cello was a jazzy bass...  it gave me a great blister to play it that way!   

It feels like quite a journey, to remember this song from back in another very different part of my life and now to re-claim it... as all my own work.    :-)]

Thank you so much for listening to my music, if I don’t reply immediately I do apologise. Life has a way of getting in the way of things I’d rather be doing but I do appreciate your listening and support.
