THINK LESS, LIVE MORE

                       THINKING OF YOU

It’s another beautiful day
everything going my way
driving in my car
playing my air guitar
feels like I’m jamming with the stars
it’s one of those days when your dreams can come true
you know for you there’s nothing I wouldn’t do.

And I’m thinking - I’m thinking of you
you know I’m thinking - I’m thinking of you    
you know I’m thinking - I’m thinking of you
my sweet  -  my sweet Baby Blue.

It’s another sunny day
wish you were here
to keep the clouds away
the rivers are flowing and the tide is high
good time to let sleeping dogs lie
and I sure wish I had a clue
what your doing - and what your up to. 

‘Cause I’m thinking -I’m  thinking of you
you know I’m thinking - I’m thinking of you
you know I’m thinking - I’m thinking of you
my sweet - my sweet Baby Blue.

It’s another care-free day 
what else is there for me to say               
there’s not a cloud in the sky
for the love of love
I can’t figure out why
maybe the Angels are on  my side
feels like I’ve got a ticket to ride.

‘Cause I’m thinking of you
you know I’m thinking - I’m thinking of you
you know I’m thinking - I’m thinking of you
my sweet - my sweet Baby Blue.



Thinking of You

Nothing’s gonna change my love for you

Music & Lyrics: Margareta Theorin

DU, MUSIKEN OCH JAG

Du och musiken 
gör mitt liv, värt att leva.
Varje dag vi har det fint
Du, musiken och jag.

Vi sjunger, spelar
skriver maskin
och umgås som bara vi kan.
Dagar blir till veckor
månader till år.
Snart vi sitter och minns
det som varit.

Tiden bara rusar
musiken enbart tjusar.
Vår kärlek lever med oss
för alltid.

Du och musiken ....

Lyckan har vi funnit
alla år som runnit.
Utan hopp och mening
levde vi då.

Letra  / Translated lyrics (inspired by Aldous Huxley's novel 'Island')

EL PÁJARO MINAH  /  THE MINAH BIRD

Me desperté  /  I woke up
de un sueño equivocado,  /  from a wrong dream,
tumbado entre palmeras,  /  lying among palm trees,
no estoy perdido ni encontrado.  /  I’m neither lost nor found.

Me siento bien,  /  I feel alright,
el sol me ha iluminado,  /  the sun has illuminated me,
la vida se estremece  /  life is shaking
y el egoísmo se ha agotado.  /  and selfishness is exhausted.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

Es esto real?  /  Is this real?
Atrás quedan las ruinas de la ciudad.  /  Behind are left the ruins of the city.
No pierdas tu tiempo,  /  Don’t waste your time,
no sufras más.  /  don’t suffer anymore.

Cuando el ave abra sus alas  /  When the bird opens its wings
y el día se convierta en oscuridad,  /  and the day becomes darkness,
escucha su cantar,  /  listen to its singing,
deja de pensar y vive.  /  stop thinking and live.

Pero cómo no lo pude ver?  /  But how couldn’t I see it?
No tenemos que ir ni que volver.  /  We don’t either have to go or come back.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que vivimos muy cerca del Edén.  /  that we live very near of Eden.

El ritual del Mosha,  /  The ritual of Mosha,
luz del amor al alba,  /  light of love at dawn,
la plenitud del alma,  /  the fullness of the soul,
el privilegio de la vida  /  the privilege of life
como canta el Pájaro Minah  /  as the Minah Bird sings.

Una procesión de focos avanza,  /  A procession of lights goes onward,
rugir de tanques, ruido de armas.  /  tanks roar, noise of guns.
Un grito llama a la venganza  /  A shout claims for revenge
cuando un soldado dispara al Pájaro Minah.  /  when a soldier shoots the Minah Bird.

Tanques y tropas arrasan la ciudad.  /  Tanks and troops raze the city.
La estupidez humana es el arma más letal.  /  Human stupidity is the most lethal weapon.
Cien años de historia  /  A hundred years of history
en una noche ven su final.  /  in one night watch their end.

Cuando el ave cae al suelo  /  When the bird falls to the ground
y su sangre se convierte en hielo,  /  and its blood turns to ice,
y se apaga su cantar…  /  and its singing fades…
Jamás aprenderás si no quieres escuchar.  /  You’ll never learn if you don’t want to listen.

Pero cómo no lo pueden ver?  /  But how can’t they see it?
Hemos sido bendecidos al nacer.  /  We have been blessed at birth.
Hay que sentirlo para creer  /  One must feel it to believe
que la vida es sueño.  /  that life is dream.

Y no quiero despertar   /  And I don’t want to wake up
de este sueño equivocado.  /  from this wrong dream.
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …
Me siento bien…  /  I feel alright …

Update 2/15/20 - Another year down... another lesson in humility,  always next year!  

https://hofa-contest.com/song/3738/

Welcome to what looks to be my the last competition for 2019.   HOFA is hosting its annual Christmas mixing competition.   When I got the invite a few days ago I took a listen and was like.....ugggghhhh!!!  An "a cappella" which puts me in my weakest spot for a starting position.  

The human voice when on a piece of music, ends up being one of the most important/relatable parts of the piece.  A great vocal performance can prop up a band... but it very seldom works the other way around.  

It's been one of the more challenging things for me to mix properly.  Here is the 2019 HOFA competition and the only thing on it, VOICES!!.  Challenge accepted HOFA and here is where I ended up brothers and sisters.  

The competition closes out in January so still plenty of time to get into the competition if you want to have some fun....working the faders.  I mean common what else could be more fun?....(blushes)  Really people, such dirty minds!!  haha

Happy Holidays brothers and sisters

Special thanks to Bill from November Sound( https://soundcloud.com/november-love-680008043 ) for being an advisor on the project... Big thank you for this and all your support in 2019. 

On a slight comedic note to one of our own:  Sunnidayz always mentions not being a techie...  If you get here sister.... I fought my production rig for 3 hours this morning to print the final mix and master...  Had everything set last night... wanted to sleep on it before finalizing.  This morning bam..kerchunk..bzzzt....with every session crash... I was reminded of those things you mention, about it getting in the way!  Three hours of fighting for 20 minutes worth of work!!

I tried to warn you / Paploviante November 2020
Paploviante: Music, Picture, Mix and Mastering
Vocals and lyrics: Loraina from www.Ghosthack.de
Lyrics:
Please don't tell me
That you had it bad too
I dont give a rats
That you played me like a fool
I tried to warn you
I don't like these little games
Now just sit back
Watch as I set the world ablaze
One at time
I'll do my time
I will consent 
Because I did the crime
Ooh, i’m guilty
Of lovin you
I’m guilty
Of lovin you
I'm Just an alley cat
I slink by when I can
Even this pussy cat
Will crawl a high rise without plan
You were a predator at night
Tall dark and dangerous
lust at first sight
I tried to hold you
But you were gone by day’s light

I Tried To Warn You - Paploviante

A collaboration with Torbjørn Vagle and Jimmy Rivas.

I sent a demo of the song with the basic chord sequence to Torbjørn  and Jimmy in the hope they would consider joining me for another collaboration, Torbjørn to add his exceptional keyboards, Jimmy to write lyrics and provide his powerful and distinctive vocal, luckily for me they both agreed.

Torbjørn  and Jimmy’s contributions have lifted the song to a level way beyond my original demo, thanks very much for your outstanding work guys.

Triumph over adversity is the theme here, I think we can all relate.
