WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
(break)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
TAKE ME

A STREET OF LIFE

Lost

Wow!

Doing this with https://soundcloud.com/florian-luethi-59518579 really managed to create very uncomfy feelings in the first place..... I am very afar from the point where i would call myself a Keyboardplayer or a "Keyboardist", but that is something i really want to achieve some day. Then there is this Swiss Army Knive of a man, playing in a Band, playing in a Bigband, reinventing old classics, playing the Keys like a young god - how can you keep up with someone like him.

He sent me the first stem back then , i think in April 2021... and said that he want it to be our thing. There was a  toiletpaperroll kind of instructions which came along with it and music sheets which i really cannot read. Thank you, goddamn! AHahahah.  It is also slow, has various changes in timing and there is also a short variation in a part with a bpm change. 

Adding this into my DAW and setting it up was one thing, finding the right key to jam along with it and trying to go JAZZ was a complete different take. Holy SH*T. 

I prelistened alot this two milestone versions out there:
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yg7aZpIXRI and
Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgLt7LAZF0, and while doing so, i felt terrible feeble and developed some slight depression torwards the thing which Mr. Lüthi sent me. I was flatterned, that he thought i can keep up with something like that, but also frightened AF.

So i did listen to his version and i simply was not able to do it. I gladly was able to work on any music, but going 42 BPM, sorry, i fucking started going idle ... so slooooooooooow!!! (Remember : Dawn of Damn is 160 bpm - so this track here is a bout 4 times slower). After many months i finally set everything up and for another few months tried to play something to it - progress about to be aligned with those BPM hahah....

Late but nevertheless, the inspiration finally came and while i tried to line up with this jazzy thing, Florian wanted the FY - Mojo and Crazyness, so he completely changed the whole base for the song and bam bam bam - boomarang!! We both hope that you enjoy this new version of a classic which has been re-issued about 2000 times! We are pretty confident, that this version is quite different... :)

Thank you Florian for the possibility to do this with you and all your patience, your super cool uplifting attitude and positive and constructive critic! Also pretty happy, that he allowed me to collaborate with his unique drawing style. I really tried to adapt and went full drawing mode this time! This was so much fun!

All the best to all of you and a great 2k22 !
Yours,
CMD FY

Shortcuts to a detour

Working on more songs for our new EP. Here is  remixed version  of our Indiepop Summer-Song that is both upbeat and nostalgic. 

We are very thankful to have now real Saxophones in this Song, recorded at Borgvlokken Studio Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Thanks so much for this!

We hope you like it, let us know what you think, and as always thanks so much for all the amazing support here on Soundcloud

Summer comes in time again
The heat will melt away the pain
It makes you feel like it's alright
If you still cannot sleep at night
just blame it on the humidity

Time will prove that it's alright
Time will be the reason why
You're getting younger day by day
If you still haven't found a way
just blame it on humanity

Maybe I'd like to go back
Got this longing in the back of my head
Lately, I started wondering why 
I should be sad

You won't believe that the blue sky
can lift you up, can make you cry
Do they still tell you where to go
Well, here's a list of reasons why
you shouldn't trust the TV shows

Count the days until you're done
Count the days and then you're gone
Dream away on a green breeze
If you can't feel that summer ease
just blame it on humanity

Maybe I'd like to go back
Got this longing in the back of my head
Lately, I started wondering why 
We should be sad

flakebelly // in parks of tall trees

Dive into the psychedelic realm of "In Parks of Tall Trees" - an auditory trip that defies explanation. Backwards piano chords weave with poems of dreams, accompanied by a heartbeat of furious drums. Piano riffs masquerade as bass guitars as solipsistic organs take center stage.
