rocking tune! nice harmonies, great energy

Very inventive and incredibly worked track!

great beat and melody..like the lyrics:"drive 50000 miles never leave the city or third gear" is a very unique way of describing the frustration and is a clear picture of that. great line...nice guitar at240...this is a perfect driving song..pumps you up keeps you going

At 3:23 Stuart Copeland's instrumental solo work came to mind. Amazing

what sweet n nutty sounds you have...the better to induce rolly seat scooting head bobs, i'd say.

Loving this track great energy very retro excellent sound 🎶🎶🎶🎶

WE ARE ONE -  Special Cecilia Vocal for Collab

Music: Jan Schonander

I published a vocal version of this a while back, but originally I had intended this to be instrumental only. Turns out I listen to this a bit so I thought maybe there are some listeners out there that might enjoy it too.

Getting Somewhere Instrumental

Getting Somewhere | Instrumental

I was a bike messenger. It never leaves you. 

________________________________________________________________

40 quarters
in your pocket
strap your helmet
grab a lane
asphalt pinball
in the morning

rocket on
marathon

trucks and taxis
coming at you 
double dance move
get away
asphalt pinball
it’s a hustle

canvass bag
cargo tags

cop in bike lane
traffic ticket
time is wasting 
run away

open car door
broken window
glass on pavement 
shitty day

chain links clicking
through Manhattan
red light running
all the way
asphalt pinball
burning muscles

it’s the same
in the rain

Asphalt Pinball

i’ve got a hot foot, i’ve got to drive all night
gonna’ drive like crazy til i feel all right
drive like crazy til i feel all right
beep beep, beep beep, beep beep. oh yeah yeah
baby some night i’ll get where i’m going to
maybe some night i’ll forget about you.
i drove fifty thousand miles in my car last year
never leave the city, never leave third gear
i only drive at night and always alone
i sleep all day i don’t answer the phone.
chorus
i don’t look in the mirror and i don’t look back
keep the doctors away cuz i don’t drive fast
i don’t need my medicine i’ve got my car
you can find me when i’m lost i won’t drive far.

Beep Beep

Volume on 11 for this one …. The pulsating rhythms instilling a sublime sensation of both restraint & motion, like driving. Part one is a guitar ensemble and later part 2 introducing bass effects and an addictive synth motif hook

AutoBeat

Blueprint for track that became 'Sandycove Milk'.

Inspired by wondrous music by Conin, whose track 'Kitty's Wake' reminded of the rich clay of Joyce's 'Finnegan's Wake'. This track, about the opening pages of Joyce's Ulysses, borrows coffee spoons, forever those of T.S. Eliot, in an effort to add sweet milk...drawn from the milk-well of honeyed Sandycove.  The lyric speaker is, notionally, Stephen Daedalus. For practical purposes, the lyric speaker is James Joyce himself. His aim? To hit Haines for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency] before heading to France on a ferry. Whilst Haines still feels guilty (sheepish) about having fired his pistol at an imaginary cat he thought he saw in the fireplace in the Martello tower in Sandycove (now the Joyce Museum....a sacred...magical place, whose attendant Joyce scholars told me about the Haines' imaginary cat episode....it is all true...yet also dovetails eerily with the first chapter of Ulysses).

The reference to Haines having consumed Absinthe is a narrative fiction, invented to offer an explanation for his dangerous behaviour. No peer reviewed evidence capable of demonstrating Absinthe has hallucinogenic properties, exists, to my knowledge.


Lyrics

[chorus]
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar

Hellenise me now
She come and go
talking bout Michelangelo
there will be time
there will be time

do I dare to eat a quiche?
I shall wear enchanted trousers
and float upon the beach

I’m still dreamin
something happened last night

Haines downed a snot-green bottle of Absinthe
started shooting at his Schrödinger's cat
in the fireplace
looks real sheepish this morning
gonna hit him for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency]
and get outta here
gliding on the Emerald sea
to Paris
with Haines’ guinea in my pocket
when I’m at sea

gonna go uptown now
hitting the top deck of this here Martello
gonna watch the mailboat
glide on an Emerald sea
gonna rest my shiny elbows
on the jagged granite
just leavin the harbour

and here comes stately Buck
bearing a bowl of lather
crossed razor and mirror as well
holding the bowl aloft
and intoning...intonin

Introibo ad altare Dei
sacred chalice
sacred cross
and now I’m lookin at the sea
Thallata...sweet mother
Hellenise me
mailboat clearin the harbour
rage of Caliban inside me
cos of Haines....[firing a gun inside the Martello tower when drunk the night before, at a giant cat he imagined was sitting near the fireplace]
sweet Thallata
buttercups on the quilt
powdered musk and gauds of amber beads
calm now like the sea
there will be time
there will be time

DECEPTION

The battle rages on
And we must choose a side
Only hot or cold
Left in the divide

The fence is rotting
Upon which we sit
Soon it won’t hold
We’ll fall as it splits

We'll fall

Hearts will be broken
And turn on their own
Until they freeze solid
And then turn to stone

Or will grow warmer
Remember our youth
Grow stronger with time
Grow stronger in Truth

The choice will be made
Inside every heart
On the day of the Lord
All will be sorted out

Sitting on the fence, 
is no defense
The truth will reveal
the deception

Sort it out
