There's something very intimate in this song, I think it's melancholy which comes out from the melody. I used a lot of delays on the pianos, which evokes a dreamy mood. I composed the melody in 2003 on a Korg Triton Extreme. It was only 8 measures at this time, and all the basics where already set. However it sounded just sooo bad.... I kept it this way all this time, and decided only 2 months ago that it might be worth producing it with my DAW. So I wrote the words, asked my girlfriend to do the backing and here we go... There are still some improvements to make, but the result is very close to the way I always wanted it.
I hope you'll like it, and all your returns are welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance for your listening, it means a lot to me! ;) Best wishes

Little Miracle

A big bawdy beat sets off this tale of modern courtship between this reluctant man and this all-in female. The song is a tour de force from the heavy bass/harmonica riff, gigantic vocal stacks  of lead singer Bob Dannewitz to the haunting slide guitar work of guitarist Hank Rusch. It's that great song you want to hear over and over.

Desiree

She's Got My Number

A high powered rocker about singer Bob Dannewitz's weekend in the Pinal county jail. Big drums, a steady driving bass, great chorus, and guitarist Hank Rusch's searing solo resembles the sound of a prison yard siren warning of a break in progress.

Fly Into the Sun

The melody is most of the time known as “She Moved Through The Fair”. This track is an arranged version of it, inspired by the usual lyrics about a marriage that cannot happen here on Earth because of the passing of the beloved one. The deceased love appears one night as a ghost in the room of her soul mate… that inspired me for the atmosphere of this track.

La mélodie de ce morceau est la plupart du temps connue sous le nom de "She Moved Through The Fair”. Je propose ici une version arrangée, inspirée par les paroles habituelles évoquant un mariage qui ne peut pas se produire ici sur Terre à cause du décès de l'être cher. Celle-ci apparaît une nuit comme un fantôme dans la chambre de son âme sœur... ce qui m'a inspiré pour l'atmosphère de ce single.

July 18th "Shores of No Return" (100% Improvised)

You can’t see lies not there
The way I’ve been is too not care

You’re kicking a dead man
Now we’ve sailed our course
And all that I am now
Is a walking corpse 

There’s no wright there’s no wrong
Just two minds locking horns

You’re kicking a dead man
Now we’ve sailed our course
And all that I am now
Is a walking corpse 

Time will pass you have to say
The path you chose won’t fade away
Time will pass and we will pay
I can’t go back not that way

You’re kicking a dead man
Now we’ve sailed our course
And all that I am now
Is a walking corpse

Walking at Night

La question ne se pose pas (..): il y a trop de vent.  Boris Vian  😉😉😉

English translation (very very far from perfect...🥵)

How do people face it
How do they do
walking alone on this string
Straight ahead
Without a net, unattached, without motive
Without a breath, without looking, almost invisible
How do people face it
How do they do
 thinking of happy days, days gone by
Without sorrow, without regret, or bitterness
It all happened so fast, moon after moon
I mustn't bend
Too far forward
Because each time it triggers
A hurricane
I mustn't explore
that question
Because each time it triggers
some twisting winds
How do people face it
How do they do
loving so deeply, often wrongly
Unwisely
Challenging fate, time and all grudges
Seeking eternity for each one
How do people face it
How do they do
I often think about this and
I often bow
I follow the motion that draws in and bewitches
I am the species that glides down the slide
I mustn't bend
Too far forward
Because each time it triggers
A hurricane
I mustn't explore
that question
Because each time it triggers
some twisting winds

Comment font les gens ?

The Highwood Pass is the highest paved road in Canada and right here in my backyard. The fall season is the best time to ride but bikers don't get much of a chance to look at the scenery unless they pull over.  It connects 4 highways: the TransCanada or Highway #1, Highway 541, Highway 40 and Highway 22 and takes one all 4 directions so that you can end where you started.

Musically, this song starts and ends in Am but as it turns out, it's actually in the Key of G, so it starts in the second position. Hopefully, I stated that properly. The song came immediately after opening my 12 string case. This guitar has been packed away since 2020 due to covid thus over 4 years.  I had tried to play it post-covid but found that my lack of playing had made my left hand incapable of holding the strings down, so I had gone back to playing a 6 string which I used for this recording. Good to know that the 12 strings still has some songs in it which it needs to share with me.  :-)

[INTRO]

Goin' past Longview on the 541.
Heading for the 40, facing into the sun.
Just takin' my time. No race to be won.

  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long x2

Mt. Burke in sight but not goin’ there today.
Headin' for the 40 on a warm fall day.
Climbin' and turnin' . . . every which way.

  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long x2

My 750 whinin' at the Cat Creek turn
4th gear is it. For more I still yearn
Still a ways to go and precious fuel I burn.

  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long x2

Through the Misty Range along the Highwood Pass
Up 2200 meters and nobody to pass
Just longhorn sheep along there munchin' grass.

Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long x2

Getting the shakes going over those Texas gates
Coming on down passing . . . Kananaskis Lakes
Eyes on the road, I can't afford any mistakes.

  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long x2

Fortress Junction comin' up on the right.
Many miles I've looked at my red fuel light.
Gearin' down. Front brakes not gripped too tight.

  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long x2

Highway 1 ahead as I continue my trek.
Then back to the 22 by the old bridge deck
Headin' back to Longview for a cold drink, I suspect.

  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long
  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long
  Motor hummin' Wheels a-rollin' ... a-long.
