Halloween 2019

Piece I created with mandolin/guitars + other instruments added electronically. Most of the mandolin parts are recorded twice and superimposed, which might give an impression that there were a lot of people playing. - but that was just me playing at different positions in space-time.

Quest for Something

TAU - Mo Anam Cara

Lizzie (https://soundcloud.com/taylor-pentland) made me the immense pleasure to imagine some vocals and to sing on a classic Klezmer track  I developped adding some Flamenco flavors and some festive mood !! Hope you like this mix of colors !!

Vocals : https://soundcloud.com/taylor-pentland
I imagined this festive reunion between Klezmer and Flamenco  musicians (and dancers!) after playing the original arrangement for 9 clarinet "der Heyzer Bulgar" (Klezmer classic)  written by David Krakauer . https://soundcloud.com/ddjohn/der-heyser-bulgar-arrangement-by-dkrakauer-for-a-clarinet-choir-mix-by-michel-martineau. A special thought to our dear Michel Martineau, I personally miss him very much;  he so kindly  helped help me  mix my 9 clarinet parts !

Der Heyzer Flamenco with Lizzie

Adults

Almost a 3-part round now, this is one of those typical country waltzes to which I've added a little bit more harmonic color. The whole thing is oriented around a ground bass line, which is recorded on two electric dulcimers basically doubling the part. The lead is also electric dulcimer.

Lyrics:

Ocean’s big and wide
I don’t want to wash up in the tide
Ain’t no tears, no one cried
But what you did I can’t abide
Now go run and hide
I won’t be denied
I ain’t gonna get down on my knees
Cause you ain’t nothing but a tease

Whatever floats your boat
Your chance with me is slim
Don’t care if you sink or swim
Just sail away from me
Now don’t linger
You ain’t gonna wrap me round your finger
Whatever floats your boat
On these stormy seas
You’re nothing but a tease

Whatever floats your boat
On these stormy seas
Get outta my face if you please
Just sail away from me
I don’t want to wash up in the tide
I ain’t gonna get down on my knees
Cause you ain’t nothing but a tease

OUT OF THE BLUE

Well, here we are again with another track:

Lammbone: Lead vocals, lyrics
Al Wood: Solo guitar
Thorsten: Guitars, bass, vocals, mix

It was great fun my friends. Thank you so much!

Lyrics:
You ain’t no picnic at the beach
I ain’t a walk in the park
We both felt a spark
Much more than lust or desire
Both of us stoked the flame
That grew into this fire

But here we go again
You won’t look me in the eye
You know it's killing me
I just can’t deny

Cause I still love you
But you slammed the door in my face
Is that how you say goodbye?

Don’t want to believe
You’d do me this way

Got the hint, maybe a clue
That you and me are through

I know you’re mad, 
and it makes me sad
Am I nothing but your fall guy
you’re my little apple pie
If I walk away
There’s nothing left to say

Funky Fire - Collab with Lammbone & Al Wood

Hey Everyone!
Lammbone, Dobbi and I have decided to continue our intercontinental cooperation under an own b(r)andname. From now on we are going to post new songs as "Pangäa".
We hope you enjoy this one.
All the best!
Lammbone: vocals, slide guitar & lyrics @lammbone
Dobbi: harp @user-647714255
Thorsten: acoustic guitar, bass & mix

I look into your eyes
The world turns around again
You smile at me on this cold winter’s day
I breathe in and let go of all the things that bring me down
We gaze into each other’s eyes
Journey to places yet unknown

In these dark times
We share our love with everyone we meet along the way
There are so many who’ve lost their homes, their way, their lives
We break our bread
Share our tears
As we sit together
I wonder why the world’s this way
When we’re all lost
And hatred drives us down again

Breaking Bread - Pangäa(Lammbone, Dobbi & Thorsten)

I HEAR YOU'VE BEEN CALLING MY NAME
GUESS YOU'VE HEARD THIS SLOGAN BEFORE

Thorsten: guitars, bass, maracas, cowbell & mix

Written by Lamm/Schnüttgen

Flew in on a red eye 
You thought I missed the plane
We danced around the fires of the lunar wane
Spooning on the beach 
I done burnt my face
Racing down the highway
I don't leave a trace
of who I am
Fueled by an angsty demeanor
I leap right off the edge
Gravity must love me
Like the physicists allege
Got no time for speculation
As I head on down the road
As my mind races back to the beach
Realize it was nothing more than a dream.

Red Eye

Red Eye - Pangäa

Two days ago I went through my collection of old lyrics. Suddenly I stopped as I found a song that we had created at any time in the 90's. I remember that day very well. We sat in the kitchen of my old friend Dobbi, drinking beer and playing guitar (very common activity those days) as he suddenly came up with the lyrics, an idea for a melody and this G / C9 chord combination. I just added the chorus chord progression  and the song was ready.
We did an earlier recording in 1997 but unfortunately I lost that take. Since I really think this one should not be forgotten, I decided to pick up my guitar and start the recorder.  Hope you enjoy it!

This track is an original ambient binaural electronic organic tripped out instrumental journey and was inspired by watching the film Decent and a recent adventure to the mysterious Crank Caverns in Rainford UK on a clear but cold day and reading up on the caverns myth and history dating back to at least the 15th century with supposedly a subterranean church and weird cannibalistic goblins roaming down there in a labyrinth of caves and caverns! 

The surrounding countryside and area is familiar to me since childhood, so i was rooting about near the caves for treasure like you do haha and i spotted a dark looking hole tucked away in the embankment close to one of the caves and thought to myself this looks interesting and not a rabbit hole so i found a fist sized rock close at hand and rolled it down, i suddenly realised this was a very deep hole and i nervous rush of vertigo speed through me as i realised i was over it by my self in the middle of nowhere! 

I soon moved away and then went home for a lie down haha and ended up having the most strangest of dreams were i was falling down that hole as the vertigo took over me and pulled me to another world which started off at the local supermarket as i emerged from the deep dark watery cave from a door into the cake and biscuits aisle and then somehow ended up on the planet Mars ripping the sands up on a real mint Quad bike chasing a fantasy ocean as i kept on falling in a dreamy slow motion through time with everything rushing past me flowing like liquid at light speed seemingly forever but there were no goblins just spacial oceans, euphoric energy's and maybe one or two aliens! haha

Let your imagination run wild and i hope you enjoy the journey there is also an SC interactive VR edition for a more immersive journey on the link above! Have a safe new year everyone and many thanks for all the kewl support! Cheers Peace! :)

I HAD THIS DREAM, IT WAS LONG AGO
A MEMORY, OF A LOVER SONG
I REMEMBER WHEN WE FELL INTO THE GRASS
AND AFTER SCHOOL IT WENT SO LONG

BUT IN THAT DREAM, THE WORLD WAS ONE
NO MEMORY, MAY'BE TIME STOOD STILL
I REMEMBER ROCK'N AND DANCING TO THE SHOW
AND EVERY WEEKEND WENT SO FAST

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD STILL
(break)
I FELT PEACE, IN MY HEART AND SOUL
A MEMORY, IN A SONG FOR LOVE
I ONLY HEAR YOU IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
AND TIME STOOD STILL THERE FOR SO LONG

DON'T WAKE ME NOW I'M HEARING YOU
IF ONLY NOW, THE WORLD STOOD

ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK

été paradisiaque :

A long road, and waiting again
Happy for the day, Happy for the sun
A long road, and waiting again
Happy for the day, we don't need money

l'été fait de son mieux
pour tomber les barrières
petit air mélodieux
une coutume familière

instinct paternel et chaleureux
réverbération sur l'eau, rayon solaire
des lunettes sur les yeux
un verre pour oublier l'hiver

colorer la peaux ça rend heureux
désir primaire au bord de la mer
oublie ce qui rend nerveux
être léger c'est populaire
la chaleur rend amoureux
un peu de bonheur éphémère
énergie positive et nécessaire

un petit clin d'oeil à la vie
dans ce décor paradisiaque
les poissons clowns sont mes amis
je m'assoupi dans mon hamac

derrière les dunes, tout se dévoile
et l'odeur du sable chaud
le vent vient caresser les voiles
en courbant et balayant les roseaux

parfois la chaleur donne des frissons
avec un léger gout de miel
pensif devant un papillon
aux couleurs de l'arc en ciel

In english :
summer is doing its best
to break down the barriers
melodious air
a familiar custom

paternal and warm instinct
reverberation on the water, solar ray
glasses on the eyes
a drink to forget the winter

to color the skin makes you happy
primary desire at the seaside
forget what makes you nervous
to be light is popular
the heat makes you in love
a little ephemeral happiness
positive and necessary energy

a little nod to life
in this heavenly setting
clown fish are my friends
I fell asleep in my hammock

behind the dunes, everything is revealed
and the smell of hot sand
the wind comes to caress the sails
curving and sweeping the reeds

sometimes the heat gives chills
with a slight taste of honey
thoughtful in front of a butterfly
in the colors of the rainbow

Lyrics:
Midnight, darkness all around me I can hear you calling
Whitecaps crashing on the Breakers in the pale moonlight
Alone with you I am calm; I am safe
Watching the eternal waves I'm at peace; centered
While the World spins around me in a rush........
When I'm hidden in the shadows you will always find me
Cleanse my mind; wash me with the rising tide
Alone with you I am calm; I am safe

Alone With You

lol
Aren't ya forgettin' about those crazy days
Taking chances into midnight
Now those times they seem so far away
I'm looking back I wonder why. I wonder why...

I'm not talking bout some passing phase
Yet it comes and goes a lot
Since we've played now I can surely say
I know your here and what you got

You got the fever of rock and roll
The fever long ago
Get the fever of rock and roll
The fever, it won't let you go...You can't shake it!

Bridge
Your temperature rises to a hundred and four
Somebody shouts "dudes! we want some more!"
Can you feel it in the heat of the night
I can only say to hold on tight...

"We want more! I'm talking to you, we want MORE!"

Solos
You got the fever of rock and roll
The fever long ago
Get the fever of rock and roll
The fever, it won't let you go...!

The Fever

You’ll break my heart 
You’ll break it in two
Watch what you do

Hummin a tune

Trees bend their knees
Swooning for you
But you wouldn’t care
No you wouldn’t dare
Laissez faire

I love you more than you’ll ever believe
And you’re leaving me broken and blue

Sugar and spice
Between sheets
Always discreet
I’m begging for more
But I know the score She’s out the door
Anna Liza 

Anna Liza
The Ocean’s swelling for you 
And when you’re next to me
Ecstasy, testing me
I can’t endure anymore
You always make me wait
And then you push me til I break
Oh Anna Liza
Anna Liza
Anna Liza

Anna Liza 
Leaving me broke
Foot on my neck
Sweet derelict
You always play fair
Why must you play fair?
It’s no mystery 
Why you do this to me
I pay my fare
But you never care
Laissez faire

Lyrics

Verse 1
Hold on, it's a long way down
Haven't been there for so long
It's a simple life when you're living on your own
so don't pick up the telephone (cell phone)
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay

Verse 2
So low, at the Sundowner Cafe
You're a bright light in the darkest place
Your stage name is all I need
So don't pick up the telephone
It's you and me again
so hold on.....

Chorus
Strangers, in this life
We're strangers, we're just finding our way
We're strangers, it's just you and me
We're strangers and I can't stay


Outro

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were hangin out at the sundowner when everything would change
for you and me

We were lost in the night, you and me

We were strangers....

lyrics:

i found you waiting in the backyard
of my selfmade house of cards
you are like the sunrise that breaks the dark

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new

my broken road is filled with ghosts
and some of my steps left potholes in my soul
it's a fine line between love and pain
you're touching my mind, you keep me sane

all my mistakes led me to you
we are riding with the past into something new
it's long overdue

Talk To Me

  Lyrics & Vocals : Tainted Icarus
 
Lyrics:
I remember the way you felt
Whispering in my ear
With a laugh and a smile it was good all the while
So long as you were here

I remember the night you came home
And said this had to end
It all crashed down, burnt to the ground
And I could no longer pretend

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Cant you see
it's not the way is should be
at least from where I stand

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Talk to me

I remember sitting back to back
On a summer afternoon
It was the only way to keep our hands at bay
And save us from our doom

And I remember your heart as it cracked
As those words escaped my lips
And I deeply regret and i cannot forget
But that's a long ago sailed ship

While I cry talk to me
While I cried talk to me

Cant you see
it's not the way is should be
at least from where I stand

While I cry talk to me
While I cry talk to me

Talk to me

Notes: 

Sometime ago I found this wonderful music piece by Brian Wilson titled, Talk To Me (https://soundcloud.com/rexgoliath-1/talk-to-me).  After a couple of weeks I reached out to Brian to see if he would be game for me doing some writing and singing.  

In an effort to keep this short and to the point.. it was a wonderful experience to try to push and prod the vocals into place... trying to get them into the same room.  Lots of tweaks and moves in very small increments to get to this place.

As is customary with my work... is it perfect..no.  The lyrics have been pushed and prodded in an effort to maximize meaning and reduce chatter.  I feel Brian wrote a piece of music that deserved nothing less.

I hope you enjoy what you hear and if you have a few stop by Brian's profile and share some love.  

Till next time brothers and sisters
Peace and love

Lyrics:

Beauty. 
Take it when you get it. 
Crush it up, inject it.
In your artery you’ll need its
Magic.
when you’re stuck in traffic 
half the world is plastic 
dying of a heat stroke
she spoke. 
she asked if we were done
i dont know but
you
are good at life 
so good at life. 
cause you
want less than i
want less than i. 

hope, dont 
underestimate it
just a little taste can
change the fate of nations, taken 
over
by a touch of madness
1930’s fascist
swallowed by an ego
he spoke. 
he asked if we were done
i dont know but
you
are good at life
so good at life. 
cause you
dont go outside
dont go outside.

Less Than I

words and music K. Gennery
image designed by mr cagey

If I were to paint a portrait of you,
layer upon layer oil mixed with dew.
Canvas part torn weathered and worn,
a wondrous reflection resplendent in colour.

If I were to sculpture in marble or stone.
Alabaster skin flawless in tone.
A peachy complexion a hint of rouge,
lines to be seen more than a laughter or two.

If I were a poet my sonnet to you,
would flow from my heart that’s been battered and bruised.
Words on page of passion and rage,
an inky endorsement of love and of hate.

Ohhh, let it go now, I need to have some peace of mind.
Ohhh, let it go now,
find myself a release, that finally sets me free.
From all the confusion, downright delusion,
turmoil swirling around, inside me brain.

of love & of hate

I felt it was necessary to present the opposite point of view from my last tune, where I was angry at the sun. I done this all myself, such as my skills allow, and please bear with me this is my first go round playin' the bass :)  But I like it.

Afraid of the Dark
Janine Levinson: song, keys, bass, rhythm, vocals. 2019

Why am I so afraid of the dark?
What’s that all about?
Just a dozen hours when the sun isn’t up
When my best friend the light
Has retreated and shines on the other side.

Why am I so afraid of the night?
The dark gives me the creeps
Where green and red super-natural hulks
With hooves instead of feet
Are patiently waiting to kidnap me

And rob me blind!
What will it be
My little chickadee?
One lump or two
A black or a blue??

I’m strong as steel in the light of the day
But petrified at night.  (gloom, murk, fog, surprises)
Where the horned beasts with their claws and their beaks
And the doers of evil reside
And patiently wait ‘til the time is right

To bludgeon me
What will it be
My little chickadee?
One strike or two
A black or a blue??


Why am I afraid of the night?
I fear the hours of dun
Just half the time, in the absence of light
When my best friend, the sun 
Abandons me!
I cannot see
One blink or two
I’m waiting for you

THEY WERE THE DAY'S WE'D GO OUT AND MEET ONE
A FRIEND AT THE BAR OR SWIMMING WITH YOU YOU YOU YOU
REMEMBER THE DAY'S OF THE OLD DUKE BOX
WHEN WE DANCED THAT NIGHT WHEN I MET YOU

GONE ARE THE DAY'S IT'S ALL ABOUT FACE'S
A CLICK ON THE NET AND I CATCH YOU YOU YOU YOU
MAY'BE WE'LL FALL IN TWO PLACE'S
TAKE A CHANCE ON YOU AND WHAT IS TRUE

HERE SHE COMES THERE SHE GOES

EVERYONE'S OUT FALLING ON THE WEEKEND
OTHER'S ARE HOME SURFING FOR YOU YOU YOU YOU
TAKE SOME TIME AND WE MIGHT BELIEVE IN
THAT SOMEDAY YOU'LL FIND THE ONE FOR YOU

HERE SHE COME'S THERE SHE GOES

Here she come's there she goes

HERE SHE COMES-THERE SHE GOES

Lyrics
Another wasted day with nothing to show
Looking for a distraction or two before I have to go

Until then  there's 
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah

Another wasted year going round and round
Looking for those enlightened few but nothing have I found

Until then there's
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah
Time enough until it's gone, oh yeah

And here's to hoping that somewhere I will find
Something to bring some meaning into this life of mine
Life of mine
Life of mine

Time enough until it's gone oh yeah
Until it's gone

What's the time Mr. Wolf


Notes:
There is so much back story on this track that it could probably be a small book.  The riff that spawned it all was called 942 and for a while no one could remember who even did the original scratch tracking. Jay and I went back and forth blaming the other.   I was thumbing through our dropbox felt inspired did a quick vocal recording and the entire crew united to stitch together a rough demo.. one verse one chorus.. and it sat while life happened.   

Fast forward 10 months, Jay and I were doing our semi regular Skype sessions, and Jay says we need to get back to work on music,  let me give Thom a ring and see if he is up for that.  I said sure.. we have a dropbox full of stuff... the rest as they say,  is history.  

In my story with this piece of art, the thing that sticks out was Jay's insistence on me taking the lead vocal.  Even today he says... "I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it"... what an honor to have that spot with these guys....Thank you friends... it means a lot to have you guys supporting me.  Cheers!!

Lastly is our budding young recording artist who finishes the song off... Thank you young lady for joining us! 

These guys busted their butts and we pushed the boundaries again and hit a mark that has me feeling proud of the end result.  Normally I would run down the list of credits but in this case,  this song doesn't exist without each of us providing critical pieces that makes it work.  So regardless who is on what, with what,  Jay, Thom and I created this and each of us was required to birth this thing into the world.  

Jay, Thom as I have said many times before, feel lucky to know you guys,  glad to call you friends and I am certainly loving this "Tainted Dead Dust" thing we got going on.  We have a whole drop box of ideas to start working on... so take a break recharge and let's crack on!! 

I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor...Until then!
 
Peace and love brothers and sisters!

Lyrics

Verse 1
The demons inside your head, they're on fire
It's making it hard to fake your smile
you're cool on love, it's breaking you down
it's a simple life, in this heartbreak town 

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time

Verse 2
You're stronger than steel, you gotta heart of gold
The cells in your blood won't leave you alone
It's a rare disease, one step at a time
It's making it hard to fake your smile

Chorus
You fake a smile at me - I don't mind
Come see the world with me - it's our time
We'll find a cure for you - it's drive time
