Really great rendition.  The band is very tight and this is a smooth track.

Great job, guys! A truly amazing cover. Great performances, both vocal and instrumental, top-notch production! Bravo!

This is very nice, good song to start off with. You do justice to it, I think it's really well done, I like it. : I have a new tune, when you have time please have a listen:  https://soundcloud.com/jussi45/three-piece-suite-for-jazzman

Song about love as a shelter against inclemency of life (translated lyrics below).

By means of some weather sounds, I oppose precise dark parts to more colored ones, with serious work till 3:25 when I had fun jamming, so you can skip to 4:20 & enjoy great outro !!

Clarinet was borrowed from my sister for summer practice. Reed & keywork managing is difficult for a beginner, & home cohabitance was set on serious risk, but with painful effort I got something presentable, or so I hope, as not willing to repeat soon...

Reminiscence of Chief Joseph and the Nez Percé war 1877.
Some words about the historical background can be found here:
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Chief-Joseph

The lyrics are in part an excerpt of the original words which Chief Joseph spoke to his followers of the Nez Percé, when they finally surrendered on October 5th, 1877.


In the shadows of our fears,
We’ve shed too many tears.
Now it’s time to break free,
From the chains of enmity.

From the battles we have faced,
We’ve learned the costs of hate.
But in forgiveness we’ll find strength
To go beyond this war at end.

What he told me before
I have in my heart. 
I am tired of fighting. 
Our chiefs are dying.

Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired.
My heart is sad and sick 
From where the sun now stands
I will fight no more forever.

The storm raged hard and broke our souls
The years of war did take their toll  
The face of yours turned into grey
No saving shores in any way 

What he told me before
I have in my heart. 
I am tired of fighting. 
Our chiefs are dying.
Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs, I am tired.
My heart is sad and sick.
From where the sun now stands 
I will fight no more forever.

Fight No More Forever

Most songs about break-ups, failed relationships and broken friendships are about despair, anger and grief. When I wrote "Goodbye Warrior", I decided to write about a courageous and understanding person, who realised that accusations don't make anything better. Forgiveness is the key. This song is about finding inner strength, and separate in friendship. Maybe we just chose the wrong type of relationship instead of the wrong person.

==== LYRICS ====

You call me a liar
but I don't think I'm that selfish anymore
Your heart is on fire
but I'm not the one you are looking for

Keep the distance for a while
please slow down mile by mile
it is not, that I don't need you 
That's not how the story ends
I want us to be friends

Though I can keep myself upright
Though I own up to every stupid mistake
I can't help the way I feel tonight
Goodbye warrior – Here comes the knight

I dial your number
but I don't succeed in holding the line
I need to see you face to face, yeah
that would be fine …?
 
Keep the distance for a while
please slow down mile by mile
it is not, that I don't need you
That's not how the story ends
Lovelife cancelled - friendship bends

Though I can keep myself upright
Though I own up to every stupid mistake
I can't help the way I feel tonight

Though I can keep myself upright
Though I own up to every stupid mistake
I can't help the way I feel tonight

Today I will stop surrendering
Tonight I'll stop worrying 
I'll be tender, discard my dagger!

Now I can keep myself upright
I won't own up to every stupid mistake
I adore the way I feel tonight

Now I can keep myself upright
I won't own up to every stupid mistake
I adore the way I feel tonight
Goodbye warrior – Here is your knight!

Goodbye Warrior

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Me - Vocals and lyrics

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

★ ★ ★  Lyrics ★ ★ ★

I was in the dark
when I first found you, my love
I never thought that a star
would ever notice my soul
But you were always around  
just never thought it was me
that you were looking for
longing for

Give me a sign
and I will open my heart
so you can sleep inside
See it's made for you
find myself in you
I'll lose myself in you

Was staring the sea
when I felt wind on my face
One foot was soaked, can you see?
The other holding my pace
Rested my hands on your head
to heal the air that you breathe
Just lose yourself in me
Find yourself in me

Give me a sign
and I will travel the worlds
with nothing but my voice
As if it’s not my choice
not my choice

Let go of your fear
and feel my sound caress you
as if it’s not your choice
Leave behind the noise
Leave behind the noise

This is another one from the demo archives. This is another novelty song written for targeted venues and what I thought would fit. A trained ear might notice extra long intros and multiple instrumental verses... that's because back when this was recorded we were still rehearsing songs for various sets to play live.. so I tried to stretch tunes out so that we could fill 3 or four hours of music for a gig. 

I have not played live for a little over a year now... work really took off and I had no time.. and sadly... I've really only got about a half dozen or so, new songs that I've written. That troubles me the most...

I recorded this and several others one day when the bandmates could not make it into the studio... I think I have this.. " Endless Hourderves " .. " Hard Candy Middle " " Wayward Sailor "...and a couple others that I laid down solo ,  live..  Most All my songs are written with the intention of playing them live. So I always like words and music ( Guitar and vox ) to stand on their own.  Especially if, at a gig we were short handed I personally would not have to make any changes. Also if we had guest performers we had space for them to shine.

So....It is indeed nonsense, and this was and is the sole track that uses the word " Baby " more than once. I would have used it more but I was afraid of plagiarizing Led Zeppelin...  thus getting sued for millions of begonias. 

99.9% of songs that I write are " Music first " ... I always did love playing this song ( is lively with a lot of changes and romp )but it never did make it into a live set. So usually, unless the music is completely finished I don't even consider writing lyrics.

I have a limited supply of decent studio recordings.. none of which im truly happy with. So im going to slowly upload them as demos and then I've got one writing project with a lyricist here on SC and after that I'll rehearse and record the handful of brand new songs.

Please try to enjoy it for what it is... just a bit of fun.

What id do without you is just so hard to say
Try to get along somehow and get through one more day
I want to call you baby.. and hold you close to me
That would make me just as happy as I could ever be
But if you should ever dump my ass.. don't you know my life would pass before my eyes...do you realize?

Rather I get killed by rabies.. rather I get bit by snakes
If you will not be my baby... Baby.. oh baybe 
I have breathed my last

My last potato ate by rats.. catch a fever scratched by cats
if you will not be my baby.. oh baby.. Baby..I have breathed my last

well there ain't no love and there ain't no sunshine.. ain't nothin I can do.. ain't no reason no huggin squeezin if I can't have you

Suffer from some rare disease.. from the guano shat by bats
if you will not be my baby baby.. baby.. I have breathed my last

well there ain't no love and there ain't no sunshine ain't nothin I can do..
Ain't no reason.. no huggin squeezin if I can't have you.

Final note. The picture for this track is a bit of work that was completed  Thats my day job... Custom cabinet / furniture maker.

Quand je regarde intensément mon chat pendant qu'il dort, je vois bien qu'il reve... qu'il reve, oui, mais à quoi? est ce que les chats revent comme nous? et si c'était le cas, quel reve aurai je aimé (aurait il aimé) mettre en musique? et je me suis pris d'imaginer son aventure spatiale, dans un univers psychedelique ou rien ne peut etre sérieux puisque reve... et que vive le burlesque! Pour toi mon Pouky.

Pouky's fabulous journey

The stockings have been hung, with care, the tree is up and lit.
It’s Christmas time, that much is clear.
The children all have made their lists, and sent them to Saint Nick.
It won’t be long, the time is near.
There is just one thing left to do, to those still miles apart.
To all of you we hold so dear.
We wish you Merry Christmas from our heart.

Merry, merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
I hope you know that even though the miles, they separate,
Does not mean we forgot, you’re always in our thoughts.
We wish you all were here, so we could celebrate.
But since you’re not, we plan to stop on Christmas Eve
And offer up a little prayer for you.
Merry Christmas from all of us, to you.

But since you’re not, we plan to stop on Christmas Eve
And offer up a little prayer for you.
Merry Christmas from all of us, we hope you also think of us,
Merry Christmas from all of us, to you.



Merry Christmas from All of Us

RIP Eddie Jordan.

What an absolute legend you are.

You slayed the dragon man...

This is the 1998 Belgian GP. Absolute carnage at the start. The Jordan boys survived it and we won and got second. I remember Eddie's side on camera shot like a video. No expression. Stunned. No other human being had done this before and will ever do it again. A private team beating all the money! Pure heart! and a bit of luck ☘️ (Brawn GP doesn't count... they developed that car with Hondas money)

https://youtu.be/93QKt44OsIU?si=E_hvp81hKf89WEIE
This is the 2003 Brazilian GP. We won it again. However Ron Dennis the snake he is tried to bend the rules because of the unsual finish so, wrongly McLaren got presented the trophy... Dennis was a dick! We got the trophy next week when they read the rules on lap count back and finishing the race early because of an accident

https://youtu.be/_KLjvuNCD3U?si=ZASzEErF79FzkCtY
This was EJ's third win and in my opinion the most satisfying. This race we won on pace. This race the universe said an Irish man lead a team that built the fastest racing car in the world for that day. That's different to winning with 7 cars left and solidified EJ as man myth legend forever ♾️


After retiring as a team boss... Eddie became the best F1 pundit around. Famous for his inside knowledge he was always the one with the saucy stories haha... Add to that one of the best sense of humours you can get...

Eddie was also a fine drummer and loved his music.

 I remember reading the headline when Senna got taken on teletext... "Senna clinically dead... " I ran to my room and cried on my own thinking I shouldn't be upset about this I didn't know him... Today are my next tears for an F1 legend and I knew enough about him for this to hurt too.

You will be sorely missed Eddie

Rest in Peace you absolute incredible human
