The potatoes are sprouting 
and there's no doubting 
Release room can share
but his poems are... crap

Spring has sprung

First track of a new album where I'll try to be more eclectic, with closer approach to some genres. Experimented on this one over-editing vocal line on the left, and getting midi files out of organic guitar melodies, which I could play with virtual instruments. I hope you'll enjoy a different Ruizzoid shape.

Dedicated to Germán Coppini’s ‘Golpes Bajos’, one of my favorite groups of the Spanish ‘Nueva Ola’.

Lyrics (original/translated):

NO TODO ACABA (JUGUETES ROTOS)  /  NOT EVERYTHING ENDS (BROKEN TOYS)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hay cosas en la vida que no cambian nada.  /  there are things in life which don’t change at all.
Hazme pensar que no estás gastada,  /  Make me think that you are not worn,
que el paso de los años no te cambió nada.  /  that the passing years didn’t change you at all.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Juguetes rotos, muñecas olvidadas,  /  Broken toys, forgotten dolls,
la imagen de mi espejo parece cansada.  /  the image from my mirror seems to be tired.
La voz de la noche ya no me llama,  /  The voice of the night doesn’t call me anymore,
me  resisto a pensar que todo se acaba.  /  I refuse to think that everything ends.

Hazme pensar que lo nuestro no acaba  /  Make me think that our thing doesn’t end
cuando despierte por la mañana.  /  when I wake up in the morning.
Hazme pensar en ti con calma,  /  Make me think about you calmly,
hazme creer que te tengo amarrada.  /  make me think that I get you tied up.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba,  /  Make me think that not everything ends,
hazme creer que aún estoy en casa,  /  make me think that I’m still at home,
hazme pensar que duermo entre sábanas,   /  make me think that I sleep between sheets,
hazme pensar que nada cambia.  /  make me think that nothing changes.

Hazme pensar que no todo acaba.(bis)  /  Make me think that not everything ends. (bis)

No todo acaba (Juguetes rotos)

Diane, this is DDD, This song, is called Blue Rose Cases, inspired by Gordon Cole, of course. We came up with this one on the 2nd night of our One Eyed Jack's open mic residency. Our friend Deputy Andy Brennan decided to join in on trumpet for this one and it came together perfect. For the record, Andy likes to drink sex on the beach. Diane, this one reminds me of a bullfighter's theme. Cooper & Phillip were on their best behavior this night. Not Stoney though, he was "feisty" and was shut off by the bartender. Diane, the food at One Eyed Jack's leave a lot to be desired.

Blue Rose Cases

and I put all I had into pleading that case

and when you solve the case
you want relief
you want to close the book
but still to read
in peace

and I put all I had into saving that day
and then tipped my hat and lost my very last case

and when you look my way
you want to see
the clay you molded then
with modern needs
no peace

and I put all I had into pleading that case
and then tipped my hat and lost my very last case

I put all I had into saving that day
and then I tipped my hat and lost my very last case

"& you won't hear from me
should the sadness occur
I will not be seen
so hurt
should the sadness occur

all in a time, I felt divine
shoulders & spine
once in my life, learned how to fly
despite being blind

& you won't hear from me
should the sadness occur
I will not be seen
so hurt
should the sadness occur

then I won't feel a thing
if it's sadness you bring
you won't hear a thing
I sing
should the sadness come sting

smile I may, some other way
how freedom reigns
once upon times, I soared through your sky
to spite being grounded

& you won't hear from me
should the sadness occur"

Stoney and 3D wrote this song, I really liked the original and reading the comments someone had mentioned it would be interesting how it sounded with more rhythm guitar, got me thinking, yeah remix.. the guys said yes, obviously. I just got a Telecaster, 1st ever so I thought I'd try it on a partial rehearsed solo :-)and did some extra rhythm guitar too.

I love Stoney's voice and 3D's piano on this, very glad to have got a version down. Check out their collaboration project https://soundcloud.com/keepthefear

Keep the Fear - Should the sadness occur (classic rock mix)

C.r.u.s.h
Break the rules,take down the system for eternity
Reflective games are running circles in our serenity
Its the final run of wasted games and lies of tragedy
And now its come to chase the shadows and lose gravity
I call your name but nobodys home
its such a shame when your left alone

I gotta crush....before i crash

Break the rules take down the system
this is over-drive
Shattered life of our existence ..though we gotta stay alive
Without  a cause where are all the rebels and the refugees 
You blown it now and i did ditto in restricted territory

This track is the first of two from a MAXI to be released soon.
Title of the MAXI is: DARK side / BRIGHT side.
If I have to describe it (but it is quite difficult this time) I would call it Punky & Funky Lounge Dub :)
The two really organic tunes belong together, although they have been written in different periods of time.
Somehow I kept them separate from other tracks that were made in the same period of time. And now, much later, I felt how they were connected and I sent them to Mr Sax, Joerxworx.
When I asked Jörg which one he liked he was very firm: "BOTH!"
That's how the idea of a MAXI emerged and this is the first track.

Michael Norris is a guy from New Zealand who has created 'SoundMagic Spectral',  a suite of freeware Audio Unit plug-ins that I used when writing these two tracks.
It's clear that such a noble deed belongs on the BRIGHT side of the MAXI. And why I called this track "Michael Norris (for president)". 

Soon I will release the second part "Putain (de nuit)" which is also a punky & funky lounge dub track but with a very dark subject. 
Obviously that song will appear on the DARK side of the MAXI that will be released on bandcamp as well in the future.

After sending him the mixes, Jörg described our collabs as "outer space swing" with many influences like jazz, swing, punk, psychedelic and a touch of bigband. YUMMY!

Michael Norris (For President) - COLLAB with Joerxworx

This song is a homage to a tune I co-wrote with my good friend Mark Francis (@saintjudesinfirmary)called 'Summer Fair' back in 1993, where Mark improvised lyrics based on a poem from the book 'Crome Yellow' by Aldous Huxley. 

Written and recorded March 2017

Fortunes are told
and fortunes unfold
tall barley grows
the silver and gold

oh my son
i'm going home
where that is
i wish i knew
when i reap the seed i've sewn
i will turn to
dust and bone

crome yellow
like corn in a row
the harvest is sewn
with silver and gold

help me son
i'm growing old
i would change things
if i could
i shall reap the seed i've sewed
i will turn to
crome yellow

in brilliant sun
a warm river runs
my life unfolds
in silver and gold

listen son
i don't have long
if you do
the things i've done
you will reap the seed i've sewn
you will turn to
crome yellow

IT'S YOU THAT I ADORE
Pretty little plaything 
You walked into my door
Exactly like a hundred 
other playthings did before

You wanted to be noticed 
It's safe to say you were
Unlike the hundred other souls 
who for my love do burn

Of all the pretty creatures 
you're the one that I live for
There's no other way to say 
It's you that I adore

Transcendental beauty 
but made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Tell me that you feel it 
say that you’ll be mine
I’ll kneel before you on the floor
and beg a thousand times

Of all the perfect beings 
you're more perfect than the rest
There's no other way to say 
it's you that I love best

Transcendental beauty 
But made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Janine LevinsOn w/mOag - it's yOu that I adOre

And so the mean spirited have spoken:
"There will be no depth only brutal logic
And pursuant to the previous declaration: 
It's schoolyard bully law and you'd best abide it"

And every day you wake
To the next move in the game
Another sketchy claim
Creating maximum disarray

And over the wall
The Horizon of Hope
Still calls you on
To a new all-time low...

And so the mean spirited have spoken:
"There will be no peace only fear and cruelty
And with a mixture of naivete and hatred
We will destroy the state and we'll profit richly"

And every day you face
The hostile lizard brain
As they strive to contain
The world in a zero sum game

And over the wall
The Horizon of Hope
Still calls you on
To a new all-time low...

And over the wall
The Horizon of Hope
Still calls you on
Through this new all-time low...

Horizon of Hope 
Still calls you on
All time low 
Over the wall

Lyrics: 

Esta noche la luna no sale
Esta noche la luna no sale
Va a estar oscuro, va a estar oscuro
Va a estaar oscuro, va a estar oscuro 

Esta noche la luna no sale 
Esta noche la noche esta oscura
No puedes ver, no puedes ver
No puedes ver, no puedes verme

Esta noche la luna no sale
Esta noche la noche esta oscura
Voy a encender un camino con velas 
Voy a encender un camino con velas
Pa que veas, pa que veas, pa que veas
Pa que veas

Uhhhh uhhhh uhhh uhhhh....

Esta noche la luna no sale
Esta noche la noche esta oscura
Y el viento sopla y el camino se apaga

The Moon

On this night the moon will not be seen
On this night the moon will not be seen
There will be darkness, there will be darkness
There will be darkness, there will be darkness 

On this night the moon will not be seen
On this night the moon will not shine
You will not see, you will not see
You cannot see, you cannot see me

On this night the moon will not be seen
On this night the  moon will not shine
I will light your way with trail of candles
I will light you way with a trail of candles
So that you may see, so that you may see
So that that you may see me

Oooohhh oooohhhh oooooohh. . .

On this night the moon will not be seen 
On this night the moon will not shine
The wind will blow and make your path disapear!
