Cannery Row

Royal Flush

A man realizes that he never really dies in the infinite realm of the Multiverse.

Quantum Immortality

Move Like No One’s Watching You

Time for some quick release
A short cut to inner peace

No magic number
Or hidden meaning
Just move like no one’s watching you
Move like no one’s watching you

Let misery melt away
Move like no one’s watching you

No it’s a sign
No by design
Move like no one’s watching you
It’s not a secret
No clever words
Move like no one’s watching you

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Don’t sleepwalk to the grave
Move like no one’s watching you
Move like no one’s watching you
Move like no one’s watching you

Ah, ah, ah, ah

No throwing shade
Just close your eyes
Move like no one’s watching you
Let misery melt away
Move like no one’s watching you

No good advice from the wise
Move like no one’s watching you
No code to crack
Trauma to unpack
Move like no one’s watching you
It’s not a craze
Or just a phase
Move like no one’s watching you
Move like no one’s watching you
Just move like no one’s watching you

Ah, ah, ah

Move Like No One’s Watching You (Edit)

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
