Oblivion

Dark Side

My last track for 2021, electric guitar mixed in Logic Pro X. Dual melody of Logic's retro synth and my Fernandes electric guitar. :-)

Demos 2021

Duo Melodica

COVID hasn't been easy for any of us. I feel like Ive lost something, not just the time or the interaction. Listen to how the melody subtly changes as it is re-harmonized.

Loss

Original song.    iam sorry for some bad sound,  i didnt manage too remove some of the "buzzing" from the recording...  The lyrics you may find a little odd..  Its about when you think you need another person to feel whole...  But then you realize you only need yourself...

You are me       (Original)

A HEARTWARMING SURPRISE! Ana Ros, frequent Kompoz collaborator, surprised us by inviting 4 brilliant vocalists to sing my lyric along with her to Scott Wisenbaker's lovely musical composition, and Moe Howard and Du Brae added their phenomenal talents. Thank you to Ana, Martin, Stef, Whit, and Mart for their gorgeous vocals, Moe his beautiful keys, and Du Brae for blending these wonderful talents. I must say, it was an amazing feeling hearing those five great voices sing my words.

Our poets and our prophets
Are in their final act
There’s no looking forward
There’s only looking back
But oh what songs they’re singing
Oh what beauty their words show
But as to how we should be living
Well, we didn’t really know

The Age of the Minstrel
Image and the Song
Told a million stories
Got much right, much wrong
I don’t want to say it’s over
And I have no regrets
But as to how I should be living
I haven’t found out yet

Our leaders and our bankers
Well, they were only men
Power, greed, and envy
Ravaged justice yet again
They say that things are changing
Maybe slowly over time
As to how we should be living

The Age of the Minstrel
The Image and the Song
We had our share of glory
Pretended we were strong
And I don’t want to say it’s over
I’m sure we’ll find a way
But as to how we should be living
That’s for another day 
 
Our Bishops and our Imams
Are mired in the past
And there’s no compromises
Our difference too vast
Whatever world they promise
Oh what comfort they might bring
But how we should be living
Well, they messed up everything

The Age of the Minstrel
The Image and the Song
We watched a million movies
And felt that we belonged
And I don’t want to say it’s over
And I still have hope
But as to how I should be living
Well, I just try to cope 
 
The Age of the Minstrel
The Image and the Song
We told a million stories
Got much right and much wrong
Well, I don’t want to say it’s over
And I have no regrets
But as to how I should be living
I haven’t found out yet
