Little ode to nights out with music to dance to that we are all missing!!
Got a new bass guitar so thought I might give it center stage and have been playing with a new Amp Sim from Neural DSP. So just some little blasts of fun 😃

WE'VE ALL MESSED ABOUT
MAY'BE BEEN THE FOOL
SOMETIMES TAKE A CHANCE
AND BREAK ALL THE RULES

TIMES  CHANGED SO FAST
JUST LIKE LIFE IT SELF
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
THEN I SAW YOU

REMEMBER THE WAYS OF THOSE DAYS

I DON'T BELIVE IN MUCH
AND WHAT'S ABOVE
UNTILL THAT STAR
FELL UPON YOU
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
(break)
SOMEDAY WE'LL BE GREY
ROCKING IN THE SHADE
LOVING EVERYDAY
I HOPE IT'S WITH YOU

LIFE IS FULL OF LUCK
THEN YOUR NUMBERS UP
DON'T WISH FOR MUCH
IF YOU HAVE LOVE
(chorus)
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
I'M TAKEN TO THIS WORLD
LIVING IN A STREET OF LIFE
LIVING IN THIS WORLD
GROWING IN A STREET OF LIFE
TAKE ME

A STREET OF LIFE

Feeling all this anger, feeling all this anger
Taking out on you.  I'm taking it out on me
Starts off as a hive on my skin
Turns into a hill, in my brain
I take a look through my ear
It's turned into a

Lyrics:

I spent way too long 
Drinking til the bottles gone
I spent way too long...

I've Been guilty of bangin on the devil's drum
until there was nowhere to run
...So I run... Hit the wall...

I need some help baby
It's a long way to fall...

Man it takes a while
to make the fallen smile
Yeah it takes a while

I remember when
I had the pulse of seven men
who thought they could do anything
...then they hit the wall...

I need some help baby...

Guilty little swine is crawlin up my spine
So this could take some time...
Coupled hands in wine draggin us to the fire
but like a wrecking ball, We'll smash right through it all

Right out of hell baby
Right out of hell baby
Right out of hell baby

Free

Ugh, brraaggghhh
But it has a lyric video now: https://youtu.be/UIBq3FcJVRU
(especially fun if you're into Daria, that MTV cartoon from the 1990s)


lyrics:

Enter the fire
Eternal purging
The veil torn down
Humanity burning

Blood for the altar
The void agape
Oblivion calling
Forever awake!

forever awake...

This recording is an overdubbing of my guitar playing on the work "Lover's Prayer" by Lisha Nandi.
https://soundcloud.com/lisha-nandi-124733328/lovers-prayer
--------------------------------------------------------
When I first listened to Lisha's this work, I was completely fascinated by it. I think the vocals, lyrics, composition, and performance are all excellent, and the balance between them is wonderful.When I suddenly returned to myself, I was holding my Les Paul, and have started recording with it.

The original work released by Lisha can be thought of as a completed "acoustic version".If I think the purpose of adding and releasing my guitar playing to it is to promote and disseminate the existence of that wonderful "acoustic version".

＊If you are practicing playing the guitar, please use it to master the performance of "C # m Pentatonic Scale".I think there are several ways to practice playing the guitar with this song, this time I mainly played and recorded it using the "C # m pentatonic scale".

If the foundation is neglected, there will be no future development. Those who neglect their proficiency in the pentatonic scale and act as if they have mastered not only the pentatonic scale but also the blues scale will most hope that listeners will misunderstand that their guitar playing is good. .. It's a very dangerous adventure.

I eagerly want anyone to get out of that dangerous situation as soon as possible.Any guitar player who hasn't mastered it can't get out of the "beginner". I think.

If you know that it is used in the following representative songs, everyone who has not used it before will surely say "Oh, is that a pentatonic scale?"

The Beatles --Let It Be
This song has different solo performances on the single version and the album version, but it is a guitar solo called "A minor(C major) pentatonic scale textbook" from the time it was released.

Led Zeppelin --Stairway to Heaven
Even in this song, a guitar solo will appear at the end of the song. This is a solo performance using the "A minor Pentatonic Scale", which is a little more difficult than the above.

Eagles --Hotel California
A very famous guitar solo will be developed at the end of this song as well. Since it is a twin lead, it is a more difficult solo performance. The "B minor pentatonic scale" is used.

The guitar playing that I layered on the original sound source is very simple. Some may say it's too simple.However, it doesn't make any sense to crush the sound of vocals and other instruments to make only the sound of the guitar.

There is no guitar solo in this attempt, and I didn't play the chords and tried to accompaniment phrases. This is because it is meaningless unless the listener can easily listen to vocals and other performances. Therefore, I think it is easier to practice the scale using the guitar.

PS
There are quite a few artists I would like to collaborate with someday. Lisha has long been one of the representatives, and I have long waited for the opportunity to come. Recently, I have actually had the opportunity to dramatically improve the collaborative environment. Even with an already completed sound source, it is impossible to completely separate it for each instrument, but now it is possible to separate files into several major parts. 

In this work, even if the volume is set a little louder to maintain the sound quality of the guitar, the vocals are cut out from other parts, so the volume and sound quality of the vocals could be sufficiently maintained. That is one of the major backgrounds that made it possible to release this recording
(I've uploaded a version here that matches the genuine Apple earphones for the iPhone, so  it's a good idea to set up an equalizer for your listening environment).

Lisha approved my this attempt to be published here. I thank her sincerely for her generosity.

Letra  /  Lyrics (Adaptation from a poem I wrote around my 15thBD)

SIEMPRE QUE TE VEO  /  WHENEVER I SEE YOU

Pasma al mirar tu serena  /  Astounds looking at your serene
faz y tu largo cabello,  /  face and your long hair,
y observar rostro tan bello,  /  and observe such a beautiful complexion,
más que asombrar, me enajena.  /  more than astonishing, it alienates me.
Cuando en mi oído resuena  /  When in my ear resonates
tu cálida voz, espero  /  your warm voice, I hope
girarme y verte, pues quiero  /  to turn around and see you, because I want
hacerte saber, mi amor  /  to let you know, my love
que te amo, y mi calor  /  that I love you, and my warmth
ofrecerte por entero.  /  offer to you completely.

Siempre que te veo, intento,  /  Whenever I see you, I try,
con mi mirada, expresarte  /  with my gaze, to express to you
que te quiero. Mi sustento  /  that I love you. My livelihood
es tu sonrisa, son tus ojos  /  is your smile, are your eyes
y tu cara de indecisa.  /  and your indecisive grin.
Si te miro, sonriendo,  /  If I look at you, smiling,
si te sigo, pues queriendo  /  if I follow you, as wanting
poseerte, tengo prisa.  /  to possess you, I’m in a hurry.

Quisiera mirarte, grácil,  /  I’d like to look at you, graceful,
bella y extraña cual hada.  /  beautiful and strange like a fairy.
Cual si no pasara nada,  /  As if nothing was happening,
mirarte, pero no es fácil.  /  to look at you, but it’s not easy.
Quisiera hacerlo con casi,  /  I’d like to do it with almost,
casi inhumano ardor,  /  almost inhuman ardour,
y contemplar con fervor  /  and watch with fervour
tus excitantes y sabios  /  your exciting and wise
pasos, y encender tus labios  /  steps, and turn on your lips
con tiernos besos de amor.  /  with tender kisses of love.

Siempre que te veo…  /  Whenever I see you...

Little to say about this song; both lyrics and music (all organic but for programmed drums) were done very impulsively, so it may show my primal inspiration without reworks or additions. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Translated Lyrics:

YO PENSÉ (LA SEXTA VEZ) / I THOUGHT (THE SIXTH TIME)

Yo pensé: esa mujer no es peligrosa…
  (I thought: that woman is not dangerous …)
No esperé enamorarme como un idiota.
  (I did not expect to fall in love like an idiot.)
Me pregunté: ¿qué tiene en los ojos que tanto me tienta?
  (I wondered: what’s in her eyes which tempts me so much?)
y me acerqué para hablar con ella y verlos de cerca.
  (And I got closer to speak with her and watch them closely.)

Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué no extrañaba hacerlo con ella?
  (And if it was the first time, why didn’t I feel strange doing it with her?)
Y si era la primera vez, ¿por qué parecía que era la sexta?
  (And if it was the first time, why did it seem to be the sixth one?)
Y si era la sexta vez, ¿por qué hubo preguntas después de la escena?
  (And if it was the sixth time, why were there questions after the scene?)

Y si fue la única vez, ¿por qué no puedo apartarla de mi cabeza?
  (And if it was the unique time, why cannot I take her out of my head?)

LOOK WITHIN:

If hearts were made of steel
We’d forge them to the shapes we wished
If eyes were X-rays
We’d see the pitfalls at our feet

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control!

If tongues were silver white  
All our words would come out right
If ears were angels wings
We’d only hear the best of things

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
All we ever can control…….. 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow

If spines were carved of oak
Their strength would serve to make us bold
If feet were light as air
We’d rise above all things unfair….

Inhale and sense the scent of danger
All these things combine to make us
Is anything as intriguing
When we can touch it’s mystery..?

Consciousness is all we know
Confidence will ebb and flow
Consciousness is all we know
Make it better - Take control! 

Yeah-yeah-yeah! 
Look within your heart knows everything
Holds the key to all the answers
So go on - ask again
You’ll find the same my friend
Do what you can - the rest will follow...
The rest will follow...
