Hey man, this really gives me a rush! Excellent work the whole way through!

Love this track! I love how all the instruments stand out when they are the point of focus, but never detract from the song as whole. Great composition, arrangement, production and performance!

SEEMS I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
FEELS LIKE IT FELT BEFORE
SEEMS I’VE SEEN YOU BEFORE
OR
WAS IT IN BALTIMORE

HEY I’VE HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE
A MILLION TIMES AND MAYBE MORE    
THE WAY I LOOKED THE CLOTHES I WORE
OR
JUST A TOUCH OF CHRISTIAN DIOR


SEEMS I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
FEELS LIKE I’VE SEEN YOU BEFORE
WAS I THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
OR
ONLY THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

SO RENDEZ-VOUS BEFORE
LE DÉJÀ-VU LE NEVERMORE
IN A DREAM IN BALTIMORE 
OR
IN GERMANY BEFORE THE WAR 


SEEMS I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE

BEFORE (Lyrics) + Barbara Browning & Gary Reeves

it's day time,    i'm happy,    free again.
the daylight,   is lovely,    no more pain.
out here,    i'm dancing,    sun or rain.

chorus:         then the sun goes down.
                    darkness does surround.
                    hide do not be found.
                    hush don't make a sound.

the summer,    i love it,    the long long days.
my friends come,    to play,    but no one stays.
then daylight,    starts fading,    they're on their way.

chorus

bridge spoken:    every night i hide in this cupboard, afraid to make a sound.
                             sometimes i hear them, they're all around.

they ask me,    why don't you,    escape this place.
there's a man,    he's scary,    with a hideous face.
if i run,    he's faster,    he starts to chase.

chorus

i'm waiting,    for my father,    to return one day.
i'll ask him,    to help me,    to take me away.
until then,    i can only,    hope and pray.

chorus x 2

Fear of ghosts part two (no escape)

Ouroboros

“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.”

Ever since I saw an incredible Canadian band (Recipe From a Small Planet) do a live Reggae jam and seamlessly slide into a cover of 'Watching The Detectives', I wanted to try something similar. In this case, I did the opposite, starting with the cover, and adding a kinda reggae/dub section at the end, which starts at 3:15. 

For the dub portion, I enlisted the help of one of the best talents I know - @Llanpsych (Tez) - to add his magic and 'dubbify' the whole instrumental section at the end. I'm singing and playing all the instruments here using my keyboard, and some echo effects, and Tez did the rest to produce that authentic dub atmosphere into the mix. I recommend listening to that part at least with headphones, and hope you enjoy the result! Thanks so much Tez, I couldn't have done this without your mad skillz!

Sharp ears may notice the following 2 details: 

  -  In the last few seconds, I threw in the theme from 'The Godfather', played on melodica (see credit below). 

  -  at 0:39, you can faintly hear my dog barking in the background. I decided to keep it in, since she barked at the line, "red dogs under illegal legs", which I thought was funny timing!  :)

INSTRUMENTS:
bass, drums, rhythm & lead guitar, organ, piano, electric piano, melodica, steel pan drums, ukulele, synth horns, voice

Reverence (Ft. Debra Buesking)

Once I wrote a longer description here: a love song in 7/4 ¿or 14/8?

Silvia II (Lo que siento por ti) /  Silvia II (What I feel for you)

Es de difícil clasificación  /  It is difficult to be classified
dentro de las variedades del amor  /  among all varieties of love
lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  what I feel for you, what I feel …

Sólo sé que no puedo vivir sin ti,  /  I only know I can’t live without you,
no puedo ver sentido a mi vida si no estás aquí.  /  I can’t find sense to my life if you are not here.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando todo va bien  /  When everything goes fine
lo que me une a ti es tu forma de ser,  /  what joins me to you is your way of being,
es muy fácil ver  /  it is very easy to see
todos tus encantos de mujer.  /  all your woman's charms.

Una idea que no puedo soportar  /  An idea that I cannot bear
es verte en brazos de otro, en otro lugar.  /  is seeing you in other one’s arms, in another place.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

No puedo imaginar  /  I cannot imagine
tu voz susurrando a otro compás.  /  your voice whispering to another compass.
Lo que siento por ti, lo que siento…  /  What I feel for you, what I feel …

Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
puedo contemplar tus defectos con claridad.  /  I can behold  your faults with clarity.
Cuando algo va mal,  /  When something goes wrong,
sólo quiero escapar a otro lugar.  /  only I want to escape to another place.

Grab it !!
