Wonderful performance and great song with lots of variation, great job

Superbe, très belles voix et mélodie 🌸 la guitare me  rappelle Barclay James Harvest

Christmas All Day

Music & Lyrics: Jan Schonander

Sometimes you go to a dark place.

WRETCHED BEGGAR

Ooooo….
Ooooo….

I don’t want you
I don’t need you
Why don’t you 
Why won’t you
Why can’t you
Get out of my way 
It’s my way

All you do
When I’m in your arms
All you do 
To twist and turn me
All you do
To look the other way
Alll you do
To ignore me

I should leave you
I can’t bear you
Why don’t I
Why won’t I
Why can’t I
Get out of my way 
Gotta be one day

A little devil in my mind
Poking me with his red hot trident
White smile on his face
I feed him 
I feed him
That fat little bastard
I’m gonna get the wretched beggar

All I do
To forget myself
All I do
To erase myself
Never do
Anything I used to
Never do
Anything I want to

Better for you
Better for me
I think we
I believe we
I hope we
Get out of my way 
Never better than today

Wretched Beggar

we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

First song I am posting in 2024!

This is what I wrote in 2013 when I first thought about posting Nothing But (The Sound) but decided to take it down from the cloud short after. 

"Nothing But (The Sound)" is Plastic Inevitable's first song since 2011! Plastic Inevitable is Marty Procaccio, AKA Blankets, working the sound and Sneekie San Salvador tweaking the sound. The recording for this song began in 2011 in the bedroom recording studio of Marty in Santa Clara California using GarageBand and a whole bunch of pedals. The song was completed in 2013 with vocals recorded in Sneekie San Salvador's mobile Toyota recording unit.

Now it is 11 years later...

I am amazed that I found the vocal stems. I had to look though an old hard drive to find them. I did not feel like digging through more old hard drives for the original track stems. Big thanks to Russell for taking the time to mix the vocals and master the track. I told Russell, when I mixed the original instrumental I was listening to a lot of shitgaze bands at the time. 

May you find many gems when you dig into your past.

Lyrics: 

Chorus:
Sitting in my car
Windows rolled down
Feet out the window
Nothing but the sound
Of my favorite song

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment
Of happiness 

Chorus

Capture me a distraction
And season it with your bliss
To steal my dissatisfaction 
And feed my mind but a moment

Chorus  

In this moment
There is an infinite 
Amount of things
Happening
In this moment
I have loved you
Infinitely 
Again and again
In this moment 
I am yours
Forever with me
My forever friend
In this moment 
I sing with you
Every song 
That was ever made

Se retrouver
Juste face à face
Se reparler des jours divins
Comme de nos cafés à Corinthe
Se retrouver
À la même place
Moi qui m'apprête à m'en aller
Toi qui savoures tous tes retards

Un jour ou deux
Plus rien ne presse
Dis-moi que toi aussi tu veux
Avant que le temps nous délaisse
Se retrouver
Juste face à face
Se reparler des jours divins
Comme de nos cafés à Corinthe

Ce serait mieux
Si tu m'appelles 
Le soleil est talentueux
Pour faire d'une revanche, une belle
Reprendre du début à la fin
Ne plus rien d'autre se promettre
Ou juste un peu de sable fin
Et chaque minute comme la première

Tout rejouer
À pile ou face
Ne plus s'attendre des jours en vain
Et faire comme si tout allait bien
Des jours légers
Seuls en surface
La mer Égée pour replonger
Dans nos folies en demie teinte

Un jour ou deux
Plus rien ne presse
Dis-moi que toi aussi tu veux
Avant que le temps nous délaisse
Se retrouver
Juste face à face
Se reparler des jours divins
Comme de nos cafés à Corinthe

Ce serait mieux
Si tu m'appelles 
Le soleil est talentueux
Pour faire d'une revanche, une belle
Reprendre du début à la fin
Ne plus rien d'autre se promettre
Ou juste un peu de sable fin
Et chaque minute comme la première


Corinth

Finding each other
Just face to face
Talking of divine days
Like our cafés in Corinth
To meet again
In the same place
Me getting ready to leave
You who savor all your delays

A day or two
There's no hurry
Tell me you want it too
Before time runs out
To meet again
Just face to face
Talking of divine days
Like our coffees in Corinth

It would be better
If you call me 
The sun is talented
To make a revenge beautiful
From beginning to end
Nothing more to promise
Or just a little fine sand
And every minute like the first

Play it all over again
Flip a coin
No more waiting for days in vain
And pretend that all is well
Light days
Alone on the surface
The Aegean Sea to plunge
In our half-tinted follies

A day or two
There's no hurry
Tell me you want it too
Before time abandons us
To meet again
Just face to face
Talking of divine days
Like our coffees in Corinth

It would be better
If you call me 
The sun is talented
To make a revenge beautiful
From beginning to end
Nothing more to promise
Or just a little fine sand
And every minute like the first

Lyrics: 

I'm gonna write another love song
For my mother
In an attempt to be strong
I became the perfect son.
I'm gonna write another love song,
For my mother.
For my mother.

I see you, mum.
I'll be your heart, your rock, your faith in life,
So you can grow to be someone.
I love you, mum.
I'll be your hope, your world, the one who always,
Fills you up.

But mother, mother!
The price I pay for this role-
Oh mother, mother! 
Is taking too much toll. 

Cos as I write another love song,
Even all, these years after you're gone-
As I write another love song,
All I know is how to grow,
All I know is how to grow into the perfect son.
For someone!
And now you are gone, there is no one.

Who do I turn to now?
Who do I turn to now?
Turn to now. 
Turn to now.

I called to the moon,
And she reflected the sun's light,
On my heart.
I called to the ocean,
And waves of beautiful emotion,
Float around me,
As the birds flew in the sky, mother!
I called to the mountain,
And the path that I followed led me,
To another mountain,
Just another mountain,
Always,
Another mountain.
Always another mountain.

Finally I called to my heart.
The love inside,
Was a place,
Where I could start.
I could start.

Mirror! 
I never see your face in the mirror, Mum.
I often wonder, if without you, I will ever be someone.
All I knew, crumbled and flew,
Away in the wind-
Breeze touched my skin,
And I stood,
Ever so still,
Ever so still.
And a place, inside, 
Where nobody can hide,
Where even the music is quiet,
Where even the colours are blind,
Where even the senses have no mind,
Where even a scream has no meaning,
I stood there, mother.

And in that space, my face,
It looked out towards-
Another. 

I will never know what they saw.
But I don't question that they saw me - at all. 
Mother!

I wrote another love song, for my mother.
I wrote another love song-
For my mother.
For my mother.

But also now, 
For another.
And another.
And another.
-end- 


Original Poem: 

I’m gonna write another love song
For my mother 
In an attempt to be strong, I became the perfect son.
I’m gonna write another love song 
For my mother 
For my mother

I see you mum. 
I’ll be your heart, your rock, your faith in life,
So you can grow to be someone. 
I love you mum. 
I’ll be your hope, your will, 
The one who always fills,
You up. 

But mother,
Oh mother.
The price I pay for this role.
Mother oh mother
It’s taking too much toll. 

Cos as I write another love song. 
Even all these years after you’re gone. As I write another love song, mum. 
All I know 
Is how to grow
Into the the perfect son
For someone
And you are gone
So there is no-one. 
And I am lost 
In the dark

Who do I turn to now? 

I called to the moon and she reflected the sun’s light on my heart. 
I called to the ocean! And waves of beautiful emotion flowed around me as the birds flew in the sky. 
Oh mother! 
I called to the mountain. And the path that I followed led me to another mountain. Just another mountain. Always another mountain. 

And finally I called to my heart. The love inside was a place I could start. 

I never see your face in the mirror, mum! 

I often wonder if without you I will ever be someone. 

As all I knew crumbled and flew
Away in the wind
The breeze touched my skin.
I stood ever so still
And there inside that space where nobody can hide. 
Where even the music is quiet
Where even the colours are blind
Where even the senses have no mind
Where even a scream, has no meaning. 

There I stood mother. 
And in this space,
My face. 
Looked out towards another. 

I will never know what they saw. 
But I don’t question that they saw me - at all. 

My mother. My mother. 
I wrote another love song
For my mother. 
But also now - 
for the Other.

Never take love for granted.

I am asking you to be 
All the strength you have inside 
I am asking you to see 
The dreams that keep you up at night
All we need is an advocate 
Someone to believe that we can handle it 
All we need is a push for it 
I do believe that you have so much more to give 
In this life
I am calling out your name 
To beat the odds and break the chain 
I know the love you’ve got to give 
Will spread like fire through the wind
All we need is an advocate 
Someone to believe that we can handle it 
All we need is a push for it 
I do believe that you have so much more to give 
In this life
