そよ風

Out next on Iono-Lounge is Shabboo Harper with a two-tracker release. 'Strange Without You Here' is a soft, slow, deep song with warm pads, emotional lines & a melancholy vocal. The track is smooth, wistful & moving. 'On the Other Side' is a downbeat track with punchy precession, spellbinding lines & a haunting vocal. The track transports you to a ghostly, eerie, yet mesmerizing & strangely inviting unidentified place. Together this release brings you light & shade sadness & joy, solemnness & enrichment.

This was my third collaborative song with Rodolfo, which we started in 2020. The original instrumental piece he gave me sounded like determined optimism and at that particular moment the pandemic made its way into anything I wrote although the beauty of the song is that anyone can bring their own interpretation to its meaning. Its original title was ‘Camino a Mañana’, that I translated as ‘The Route To Tomorrow’ - I guess I liked the alliteration - even though it was a bit of a tongue twister to sing.

I instantly loved the rhythmic punch of this track and recognised early on that it would require a punchy lyric and vocal. Initially I sung the harmony vocals that Rodolfo devised, but as we later developed into the band ‘Continental Collision’ it made sense to draw on all of the talent available in Ce and Gonza, and here introducing Cintia Galeano. Huge thanks to my wonderfully gifted collaborators, you helped make this song shine. I was stunned (as always) by Rodolfo’s attention to detail, his glorious guitar solos and particularly the drumming throughout. Although I might not add to the instrumentation personally, Rodolfo always encourages me to give him feedback. I am particularly fond of this collaboration and each time we work together I learn so much more. Hope you enjoy it too and many thanks for listening. 

Finding the way,
To get through night and day,
Is just too much.
Making your way
Once more through the fray,
Without losing touch,
Is too much,
For me, yeah.

Waiting in line, 
With no hint of a sign,
Is just too much.
Pretending I’m fine 
Knowing that you’re not mine,
It’s too, it’s just too much,
For me,
All of the time.

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

I’ll be OK, 
Whatever they say,
I can take it.
Know I can’t stay,
Gotta get me away
From here.
Before it gets too much for me, here.

I can survive,    
I might even just thrive.
If I make it.
I’m still alive,
Watch me as I arrive,
At the other side of all this pain and sorrow  

This is the route to tomorrow,
Beg, steal or borrow,
To getting through to the other side of all this sorrow.
This is the route to tomorrow,
That I have to follow,
To make it through to the other side of all this sorrow.

Seen Through

Nothing’s as good as it used to be
I really miss the seventies
Political correctness, hyper-sensitive youth
Propaganda on my TV, masquerading as the truth
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter
anonymous trolls making people bitter
Oligarchies and theocracies
undermine democracies
Robotic drones kill from the skies
It’s easy to kill when you can’t see their eyes
I don’t know how to stop this madness
I don’t know how to end the sadness
But now, I think I understand…
I have become a grumpy old man
He’s a grumpy old man
He’s a grumpy old man
He’s a grumpy old man
He’s a grumpy old man
Today’s pop music really sucks
Polished, corporate, streaming fluff
Everybody wants to return to
an imaginary past 
Where everything was perfect
and the good times always last
But, our planet is dying
and we aren’t even trying
I don’t know how to stop this madness
I don’t know how to end the sadness
I’m no longer a part of the plan
I’m just another grumpy old man
I loved my life in the seventies
I just wish I could remember it more clearly

I love music that takes me on a journey with unexpected twists and turns, painting pictures in my head. I hope my music does that for you.
