# Indie Electro vibe 
 
New single Shape Shifter to be released on 16th November all major streaming services. 
A song based around relationships 
that move and change due to different circumstances to suit the mood. And how ever toxic that might be there’s always an element to missing these people when you say goodbye.
A Shaper Shifter indeed ! 


V1
You moved your face to rest 
upon  my cheeks
And I could feel your eyelashes tickling making me weak 
It made me flutter with electricity 
I knew this moment was the last
one for me 
If just one more night before you leave 
The bed will be to big without you my darling your in need 

Chorus 
Shape shifting chameleon
You go from black to white
Every single night
You go from blue to green 
Depending on the scene
Whatever colour takes you 
As long as your seen
Red to yellow back to green 
shape shifting chameleon 
if you know what I mean


Verse Bridge
If just one more night before you leave 
The bed will be to big without you my darling in need 

V2
And when I touch the cold pressed white cotton sheets
It’s a reminder that’s were you used to sleep 
And maybe I’m a little deluded into thinking you’ll come back
After all that’s been said and done Im the man who told you to pack
It’s not because I was punching above my welter weight
It was the fact that you’re always showing a different face 

Chorus 
Your a Shape shifting chameleon
You go from black to white
Every single night
You go from blue to green 
Depending on the scene
Whatever colour takes you 
As long as your seen
Red to yellow back to green 
shape shifting chameleon 
if you know what I mean

Outro

Your a Shape shifting chameleon
You go from black to white
Every single night
You know what I mean

Ain't Nobody Like You

In day light
All we ever and always
See is blue

My one flight
Will be higher than either 
Lies or truth

Home! Home!

By day light
All hope ever believed
May fall through

See us through

Father, can you take it away?
Sister, can you kill it today?

This is a new version of my song from last summer. I hope you enjoy this longer surf improvisation!😎 This jam version of „Summer Joy” is especially dedicated to all those who don’t have the courage to change their lives and are not happy because of it. And yet everyone deserves to be happy! We only have one life and take it in your hands. Just like you pick up a guitar and just play it, without looking at what other people will say! And suddenly everything starts to flow in the right direction. This is your life!!! 🌞🎸

This is your LIFE

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care 
James 

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps

Portal To Another World

Cast of Characters:
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris – acoustic guitar, bass, acoustic slide guitar, drums, vocals, subtle harmonies  during intro verses, lyrics, mix, production, and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –-mandolin, vocal harmony

This is a song that I wrote and shared with Josh last spring. We worked on it for several months. Originally, it was just acoustic guitar and some vocals. To that, Josh added some mandolin, thinking it would stay that way. However, I ruminated on the initial raw version, surprising Josh by adding the rhythm section and better recordings of my parts after the fact. Josh came up with the high harmony towards the end, which blew me away and was the catalyst for a vision to flesh this idea out as best we could. We always have a lot of fun playing together as our tastes and references are very much aligned. We have been making music together almost since we both joined SoundCloud and found each other there about two years ago. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed making it.
As a side personal note, I only wish we had extended the song, which maybe I can get Josh in on that idea. I do like the short and sweet version that leaves you wanting to hear more, but I digress.
~Josh IS the hub and catalyst of this and any great track we collab on! The force is surely strong with this great virtuoso and aficionado! Those that know, know. ❤️
Much Love!
Big respect and gratitude to you Josh! Love making these tunes with you buddy!

"In Time"
Lyrics:
In Time don't you think it might be time for you to rise?
In Time lost and found sleeping soundly by her side.
I know you by now, and it's not too late to come around.
In Time thinking, missing, drinking, wishing you were here.
In Time aging, watching, turning pages yester-year.
Well, I know you by now and it's not too late to come on out.
In Time don't you think it might be time for you to fly?
In Time don't you think it might be time for you to try?
In Time lost and found sleeping soundly by her side.

In Time w/ (Entheogenic Psychonaught *Josh Clary*)

In this track I used pedal steel guitar, acoustic guitar, water drums, synth pad, electric bass and bell tree.
Thank you for listening !

on the wind

Hello, Everyone! Do you like surf rock? Do you like the soundtrack from „Pulp Fiction” and „Kill Bill”? I try to combine surf rock with other styles of music: with indie, psychedelic, space rock, ambient and folk 🍀

I co-found a duo with my friend from Sweden, Håkan (WELL ) on synthesisers. We have recorded several tracks together, which you can easily find on my profile and on WELL's profile. My friend and I are trying to combine ambient music or space rock with a surf guitar sound in our project. Our collaboration continues 😎 

I am also a member of the project FIFTY ON EARTH together with my friend from Poland, Marcin Jakubowski. You can listen to our tracks  „On the open road to north”,  „Let’s drift away” and „Space Crash” on SoundCloud 😎

Notable are my collaborative recordings with a group of wonderful musicians from the USA and England who perform under the banner of The Eclectic Collective. We were able to join forces on five tracks (compositions of my own making): Surf Dance/ A Time Race/ The One/ See You Soon (in a better world) / Tell Me The Truth 😎 This music goes beyond classic surf rock and into psychedelic territory with the help of incredibly talented and creative musicians such as Josh Clary (bass), Ken Karasek (drums), J.J. Terrell (keyboards) and fantastic guitar wizards: Tez (Llanpsych) and Stephen (TexMex Shaman) 🌞🏄🏼‍♂️

My latest project is a collaboration with my friend from Kansas City - Nathaniel Ehrnman. Together we created a quiet track called "Good Days”. Nathaniel added his guitar parts (slide and baritone) and harmonica to my track. His unique playing style gave the song a folk character 🍀

Enjoy the vintage sound of Fender Jaguar and the classic surf style - in the new version 😎🎸

MANY THANKS for listening, commenting and support 😊
