Shift Work

An amateur cover version of Chick Corea's song "Eternal Child" (from the album "Eye of the Beholder", 1988). Not much improvisation here.... just a basic version showcasing Mr. Corea's ingenious composition. After installing the new awesome Rhodes V8 plugin I decided to try to record this song using a lovely and dynamic Dyno Rhodes type of electric piano sound.

Played by me with my Korg SGProX digital stage piano using the Rhodes V8 Pro virtual electric piano (Rhodes MK8; preset name "Dyna-Mite" and player profile "Dyn-O-Mighty", with some tweaking by the undersigned), Yamaha Montage 8 (CFX Concert) and Arturia CZ V (cf. Casio CZ-1, CZ-101). 

Posted as a private person for non-commercial purposes.

The pictured mini kalimba or thumb piano ( a present from a Fair Trade shop) was used for a short piece to accompany this gardenvideo https://youtu.be/nUY7OPUV8Z8

Mini Kalimba

We will meet

I'm never gettin over
all the time I've been oppressed
and the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less   I digest
O
but I digress
and if I had lacked discretion or recognized this mess
I'd be smilin every day now
and gettin down
less and less
but I was blessed
cause no matter the final tally
or the measure of the test
I refuse to let it beat me
yea I confess
cause the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less
I'm feelin blessed
O
seems I'm never gonna (not be) depressed
yea
if I had to guess
but I'm damn sure that in the end
it'll be me in the end
yea
I'm never gettin over
all the times I've been oppressed
and the longer that I sit here
the less
and less
and less
cause ya know
it's the best I'm ever
gonna get

Never Gettin Over (amp)

Lyrics:

Wrested with enigma of time
Shadows on the wall from the fire behind
Shapes and detail, circles and lines

I've always wondered what could it be
release these shackles, set me free

Thousands of years we thought we knew
We were sure that it all must be true
Silhouettes of monsters and God
Before my eyes, you can see it to.

There must be more than life beholds
Once in a while I feel that breeze that's cold
If I could only turn around
If I could only turn around
If I could only turn around

And then that fateful day came
All the elders thought I was insane
Turning around for the first time

Thousands of years of myths and lies
Leaving the cave I almost died
On my knees, in my hands, I cried
On my knees, in my hands, I cried

Wrested with the enigma of time
Shadows on the wall from the fire behind
Shapes and detail, circles and lines
