This is a remix of my first vocal offering which I originally released over 10 years ago. Some of the original (free) VST's have faded from existence so I worked with a few of my current favourites and one new one. By now I had switched to a Strat guitar and this is undoubtedly one of my better, more fluid leads. At the time, I was also experimenting with keyboards and was really just getting comfortable using two hands (rather than 2 fingers). Also at this time, I was getting comfortable using Cuckos Reaper. As for lyrics, they just came from the mood of the tune. Everything is drawn from life experiences, so a "cut and paste" of some old, but not forgotten, memories. I'm not sure why I chose the 3rd person to express these images. 

Broken Dreams
---------------------

[INTRO/SOLO]

You wake up from a nightmare ...
Or was that real?
Somehow you can't get out of bed
Fingers too numb to feel.

Sun coming through the window
But there's no heat.
Now, the silence is deafening
Not a sound from the street.

[SOLO]

Sweet smells from the pillow
As you turn in bed.
Memories of warm embraces
Filter through your head.

No matter now, the bed is cold.
The covers are all grey.
The memories still linger
Of a love that did not stay.

[OUTRO/SOLO]

Caramel beurre salé 🎧

This song is about finding one’s soul mate and having that immediate chemistry and connection with someone the very first time you meet them. One my argue that true love often first begins as an obsession and desire. There is electricity in the air, and you can feel an invisible magnetic field that is drawing both of you together both physically and spiritually. She becomes your single obsession and desire. You can’t get her off your mind. You can’t sleep. You can’t eat. Even drinking a bottle of whiskey hasn’t helped. You just need to be with her. Tell her that you can’t live without her and love her.

Lost in the crowd
We're meeting after all
No digital
Our first Rendez-Vous
We were from cloud
But now we're physical
Don't tell me Baby!
I still can't believe I can touch you

Now it's for real
Can you feel
Your bodie's taking the shape of love
There's no deal
You can steal
My heart and soul with your velvet gloves

Will I survive the shock?
Of this new sensation
You made my world unlock
Like a revelation

You can be proud 
In love you made me fall
Forget it all
Do you feel it too?
Laughing out loud
We look hysterical
Oh come on Baby!
Don't you see
What's between me and you?

Now it's for real
Can you feel
Your bodie's taking the shape of love
There's no deal
You can steal
My heart and soul with your velvet gloves

Will I survive the shock?
Of this new sensation
You made my world unlock
Like a revelation

New Sensation

I mastered a track I did a while ago. I used a sample from Bernard Wright RIP and Ade provided the lyrics.  He's funny and a bit rude!

Seems as if I am getting a bit emotional 😬🙁

Which is fine and about time, because this tempo of producing tracks is insane! And I want to finish most of them, I definitely have some favorites! 🦾✨
