Live Reflexion#005

modern day

photos are memories I keep within my mind
stored in the basement in a crate I’ll never find
songs are the stories and the places I have been
authored before this mental knot I’m tangled in

modern day is here to stay
and all that was will fade away
heavens rain and hell will pay
our eyes are wet with tears

poets and prophets weave our words into their art
read in dramatic mien and spoken from their heart  
unseal the parchment let the words escape their cage
left with a book with seven hundred empty page

styles we made are old and frayed 
where all the past is filed away
a quill, a pen I’ll write the end
the sky is wet with ink

modern day is here to stay
and all that was will fade away
heavens rain and hell will pay
our eyes are wet with tears
modern day is bland and beige
remembrance of the golden age
a quill, a pen I’ll write the end
my heart is black as ink

Modern Day

When winter ends 
Will you still be my friend
When things warm up
Will you still want to be around
Or am I just a clown
Your lowly little clown

When winter ends baby
When winter ends baby

Softly my friend
The cold hurts
But I hope winter never ends
I know I'm a fool
But I'll still be around when next winter comes

When winter ends
Am I just a clown
A lowly little clown

When winter ends baby
When winter ends baby

Softly my friend
The cold hurts
The cold hurts

When Winter Ends

"Spring Chicken" (Edit: Mastered with Ozone on September 28, 2023) 

I can't help it, I just have to keep playing these songs. 

We had a minor "setback" with the spring here in the north in that after a good start we've had a kind of cold spell for quite some time (minus degrees at nights, +5 Celsius in the day time). But as of today May 9th 2023 the spring finally is of more permanent nature:)! So in order to properly celebrate the development I tried to make a little song partly in late 70's and early 80s' style. I used Rhodes sound and the Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drummer (the drum beat is mine and some of the fills are from the 70s Drummer) and also some synth sounds that were used in the late 70's (especially the CS-80 sound), and I layered the synth sounds with e.g. the DX7 and MKS-20 soundscapes. The awesome bass is the Scarbee Jay-Bass (late 70's Jazz Bass) software instrument.

The keyboard part consists of a layer of the Scarbee EP-88S (Rhodes), the new Rhodes V8 Pro (Rhodes Mk8) and "The Twenty" from the UVI Key Suite Digital (cf. MKS-20). In addition I used a DX7 lead sound played with Yamaha Montage and also the somewhat newer UVI Six-12 from the "Ob Legacy" software instrument collection ("Ob-12 Brass" sound) and layered them with the lead sound I made with the Arturia CS-80 V. The strings come from the UVI Orchestral Suite.

This track is in a way a humble tribute to the great composer and the best bassist off all times Mr. Jaco Pastorius, who's signature song was the tune "Chicken" by Mr. Pee Wee Ellis.

This track is also a kind of tribute to the wonderful Casio PT-50 which was my first ever keyboard and which I will always remember. The Casio had some lovely demo songs which had "the breeze" in them, meaning e.g. that they felt like the warm summer wind on a beautiful summer day.

LYRICS:
----------------------------
(townie)
People in this town, they've all seen you hangin' around
They don't like it
They're not buyin' what you're sellin', standing' on your box and yellin'
They don't like it
Their sentiment is strong, and they asked you move along
They don't like it. They really don't like it.

(monty)
People in this town, one by one they sneak around
They seem to like it
They come and they go, they never let the neighbors know
That they like it
They may hide it from the rest, but their coins inside my chest say they like it
Oh, I think they like it. They like it.

(townie)
With your shell games and dice, I ain't tellin' you twice
I don't like it
They're down on their knees while you sell them your disease
I don't like it
With your slug milk and wine, they're just fish on your line
I don't like it I really don't like it.

(monty)
I am just a businessman, I make my living where I can
The way I like it
I am sure you understand, I'm just meeting their demand
And I like it
So there's no need to taunt, I just give them what they want and they like it, 
Oh I think they like it, and I like it

(townie)
They say that you're depraved, that you're sick and can't be saved
We don't like it.
And the medicine you sell isn't making them well
We don't like it.
So just get on down the road, if you'd like, I'll help you load
We don't like it. We really don't like it.

(monty)
My patience wearing thin, I take another one on the chin
Because they like it.
So I guess I'll up and go, take my tack and tents in tow
I don't like it
But your virtue is a clown, so I'll go to the next town
Where they like it. I'll go where they like it.
Where they like it.
