попытка в босса-нову // attempt to make bossa nova

Back in 2003 I was in a covers band called Airplay and we went in the studio off the advice of our agent to record 3 live cover tracks for promo.
This was so we had a product to use as a reference for bookings. 
The Darkness -I believe in a thing called Love ( on my cloud) 
James - Sit Down 
& The Undertones - Teenage Kicks 

The James song "Sit Down" had a number of chart positions. Its original version reached number 77 on the UK Singles Chart in 1989. A re-recorded version released in 1991 reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The song also had a peak position of 53 in 2017.
The song "Sit Down" by James, written by Tim Booth, expresses a sense of shared vulnerability and offers a comforting message of support and connection. It's often interpreted as an anthem for those struggling with mental health, specifically dealing with loneliness, sadness, and the feeling of being "touched by madness." 
It was always a favourite of mine in the covers band as it’s now become an anthem on indie playlists. The track as been streamed over 109 million times on Spotify. 
The last time I personally performed it was in Spain back in 2019 and enjoyed every minute. 
I must admit we did rock it up from the original ! 
Hope you enjoy this cover……
I give you Airplay the covers band with me on lead vocals.
Lee Hughes - Guitars
Andy Harris -Bass
Kev Smith - Keyboards 
Dave Robins - Drums

A song I call " Drop Out Blues "  Back to basics this week with a little slow blues . 
Lyrics DROP OUT BLUES by Glenny G
You can blame it on your future
You can blame it on the past ( The Past )
When your riding in your automobile 
And your low on gas ( Not moving fast)
You can hide out behind the scene 
Choose to ignore your dreams every night
SOLO
You can drop out of the work force
You can hide away all day ( all day)
With time to pick and choose 
Sometimes win or loose they say ( They Say )
You can choose to ignore that dream watch that river stream float on by
SOLO
Just Watch that river wash away the dream ( Yeah the dream)

Drop Out Blues " Back to the basics"

Lyrics
Well when…
yesterday’s deaths are tomorrow’s lack of news
the headlines read a tragedy of a rich man’s point of view
while all around we struggle as their fight goes on and out
we’re just candles in a monsoon and a lightning strike in drought
We feed monsters in our heads
We beat monsters under our bed 
We need monsters to aim our guns
We feel monsters to regret what’s done
Yeah we are monsters

With every breath a fresh chance a new time to be awake
but we’d rather hate our enemies than befriend a fool who’s fake
with every shot not taken that’s saved up ‘til the end
dying in our apathy in our wake we’ll still pretend
that every day’s a new day another chance to be alive
instead we choose the monsters feed them demon’s ‘til they thrive
We feed monsters in our heads
We beat monsters under our beds
We need monsters to aim our guns
We feel monsters to regret  
Do you regret what’s done
Monsters…just monsters 
We’re monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters 
We’re just monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters
We’re all monsters of monsters and monsters
Monsters…just monsters
They’re all monsters of new old monsters
We’ll all monsters and monsters and monsters
All monsters of monsters their monsters
All monsters of monsters they’re monsters
We’re all monsters of their old monsters
Monsters of their old monsters
They’re monsters
Same old monsters

✨ Silk and Iron ✨
by Alexandru Sorin Ciobanu Al Rufei
Dedicated to my ballet students

In a world where grace is born from discipline, and strength is hidden behind every delicate step, "Silk and Iron*"was inspired by the silent poetry of my ballerina students and the beauty of a timeless collaboration with a gifted ballet teacher.

This piece is a tribute to the invisible dialogue between music and dance — between the softness of silk and the resilience of iron.
It flows like fabric through winter air, echoing the passion, fragility, and determination that define the soul of every dancer.

Let yourself be carried by this musical reverie — where each note becomes a step, each silence a breath, and each phrase a pirouette through memory and dream.




Silk and Iron

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Ein Zittern tief in meiner Brust
Wenn alle Vernunft verstummt
Die Fessel bricht, ich hab's gewusst
Was jahrelang mich eingezwängt

Die Angst war stets mein treuer Gast
Lähmte jeden kleinen Mut
Grau lag sie schwer als dunkle Last
Erstickte meine innere Glut

Doch dann kam dieser Augenblick
Das Herz sprach lauter als der Zweifel

Es ist wie ein Erwachen
Wärme strömt von tief in mir
Meine Wahrheit will sich Bahn brechen
Sonnenstrahlen führen mich zu ihr

Wild brennt die Sehnsucht ungezähmt
Nach meinem wahren Selbst
Nicht mehr gespielt, nicht mehr verschämt
Ein Leben das mir selbst gefällt

Der Sprung ins Ungewisse
Vertrauen statt Vernunft

Ich fliege, schwebe, bin so frei
Berauscht von diesem neuen Mut
Die Ketten brechen jetzt entzwei
Es fühlt sich himmlisch an und gut

Still kommt die Erfüllung
Dies bin ich, dies ist mein Weg
Keine Selbstverleugnung
Ich tanze, wo ich früher schwieg

Die wichtigste Liebesgeschichte
Beginnt mit mir und meinem Mut
Wenn ich mich selbst nicht mehr vernichte
Wird alles leicht, wird alles gut

Himmlische Empfindung
Ich bin bei mir zuhaus

English translation:
The heart knows the way

A tremor deep in my chest
When all reason falls silent
The shackles break, I knew it
What has constrained me for years

Fear was always my faithful guest
Paralyzing every little bit of courage
Lay heavy as a dark burden
Suffocating my inner fire

But then came this moment
My heart spoke louder than doubt

It's like an awakening
Warmth flows from deep within me
My truth wants to break free
Sunbeams lead me to it

Wild, untamed longing burns
For my true self
No more pretending, no more shame
A life that I like

The leap into the unknown
Trust instead of reason

I fly, I float, I am so free
Intoxicated by this new courage
The chains are now breaking in two
It feels heavenly and good

Fulfillment comes quietly
This is me, this is my way
No self-denial
I dance where I used to be silent

The most important love story
Begins with me and my courage
When I no longer destroy myself
Everything will be easy, everything will be fine

Heavenly sensation
I am at home with myself

Das Herz kennt den Weg

RISE LIKE THE TIDES
V1
The world is a sinkin’ boat
Ruled over by stinkin’ goats
Just one way to stay afloat
We got to rise

V2
Politics and false religion
Hatred, chaos, division
On a crash course collision
We got to rise

CHORUS
Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides, sweep it all away

V3
By way of oil and gold
The power that they hold
Mighty men are bought and sold
We got to rise

V4
Politics and false religion
Hatred, chaos, division
On a crash course collision
We got to rise

CHORUS
Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides, sweep it all away, yeah

Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides, sweep it all away

Rise
Rise
Rise like the tides

Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides, sweep it all away

V1 Repeats
The world is a sinkin’ boat
Ruled over by stinkin’ goats
Just one way to stay afloat
We got to rise

Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides
Rise like the tides, sweep it all away

Rise
Rise
Rise like the tides

Rise.
