The sound of your acoustic guitar is so big, full, jangly, and deep. The electric guitar has a nice contrast to the acoustic. Well composed song. Love the lyrical message. Beautiful. (Nice ring out at the end. 😎) ⁓Rebecca

Amazing sound! I love how the vocals blends in perfectly! 🙌

Wonderful guitar tone, really well captured. I like the lyrics...

Höre mir "Hope" an und hoffe, dass bald mal wieder neue Musik von dir kommt. Ach so: Sehr schön spielst du hier Gitarre(n)!  ;o)

Mistakes And All - The Brass REDUX By TheGat(s)

Many people have a battle with mental health. This song is about that struggle. To keep ourselves together.

Lyrics:

For miles and miles and miles
We saw our lives in piles
History as our mirror
Face ourselves in fear

The sand for miles and miles
Surrounds our cries 
Ohhh!
Fallen ones
They tried hard
Now they lie down
Hardened souls
Who fought hard
Didn’t turn them against the cause

Waves of thoughts come
Into our head
Attacking our resolve
This fight to dissolve apathy
All our willpower
Needed for the march ahead 
To face the enemy within

One and two and three and four
March across the broken glass
Five and six and seven, eight
Heading for the lemming fate
(There’s got to be another voice, 
a voice that brings another choice. 
Hold on, watch your step, 
Marching to a different world of hope. Hope. Hope. Hope.)

Ohhhh!

Imagine we had all won,
Imagine we were all one.
One.

The Enemy Within

Hey Everyone!
Another song for another year. Tried to create some hope in these dark times.
All the best to you all!
Thorsten

Hope

Had a dream last night
the sun above us was shining bright
all the black clouds gone
on what we've waited for so long

Please don't say that I'm naive
and there is no hope at all
without hope there's no relief
even though it's very small

November, drizzling rain
feeling sad, still feel the pain
but there's some blue between the grey
and you'll see the sun will find its way

Please don't say that I'm naive
and there is no hope at all
without hope there's no relief
even though it's very small

Wow!

Doing this with https://soundcloud.com/florian-luethi-59518579 really managed to create very uncomfy feelings in the first place..... I am very afar from the point where i would call myself a Keyboardplayer or a "Keyboardist", but that is something i really want to achieve some day. Then there is this Swiss Army Knive of a man, playing in a Band, playing in a Bigband, reinventing old classics, playing the Keys like a young god - how can you keep up with someone like him.

He sent me the first stem back then , i think in April 2021... and said that he want it to be our thing. There was a  toiletpaperroll kind of instructions which came along with it and music sheets which i really cannot read. Thank you, goddamn! AHahahah.  It is also slow, has various changes in timing and there is also a short variation in a part with a bpm change. 

Adding this into my DAW and setting it up was one thing, finding the right key to jam along with it and trying to go JAZZ was a complete different take. Holy SH*T. 

I prelistened alot this two milestone versions out there:
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yg7aZpIXRI and
Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgLt7LAZF0, and while doing so, i felt terrible feeble and developed some slight depression torwards the thing which Mr. Lüthi sent me. I was flatterned, that he thought i can keep up with something like that, but also frightened AF.

So i did listen to his version and i simply was not able to do it. I gladly was able to work on any music, but going 42 BPM, sorry, i fucking started going idle ... so slooooooooooow!!! (Remember : Dawn of Damn is 160 bpm - so this track here is a bout 4 times slower). After many months i finally set everything up and for another few months tried to play something to it - progress about to be aligned with those BPM hahah....

Late but nevertheless, the inspiration finally came and while i tried to line up with this jazzy thing, Florian wanted the FY - Mojo and Crazyness, so he completely changed the whole base for the song and bam bam bam - boomarang!! We both hope that you enjoy this new version of a classic which has been re-issued about 2000 times! We are pretty confident, that this version is quite different... :)

Thank you Florian for the possibility to do this with you and all your patience, your super cool uplifting attitude and positive and constructive critic! Also pretty happy, that he allowed me to collaborate with his unique drawing style. I really tried to adapt and went full drawing mode this time! This was so much fun!

All the best to all of you and a great 2k22 !
Yours,
CMD FY

Cloudy Skies

In 1959 Candi and I went to kindergarden in the same class. We lived three blocks from each other. We graduated from highschool in the same class. There were other kids in that class that I graduated with. Families didn't move much like they do today. Candi went on to become a fabulous painter and still lives in the house she grew up in, while I can't count how many times I moved. I found out recently she isn't feeling good and is having a hard time. So I do what I do and I record music. Everyone should have their own music.
