She sought love from the same woman over and over again and was rejected each time. Her answer is always the same whether she proposes the first time, the second time, or the third time. No!
"Then why did we always enjoy chatting so well?" And why does the feeling of my long-gone love never fade away?

No matter how many times I propose, her answer is no! (263)

Dedicated to some folks in my life who've picked me up along the way, especially through music...

This is one I'm pretty proud of.  Oddly, it's the first time I’ve written a full original song with me singing my own lyrics. I'm joined by the uber talented @TexMex-Shaman, who is wielding the lead electric guitar starting at the first verse through to the end. (this is the second time now where my vocal melody is partly inspired by his magical playing!) He also lends his mastering skillz to great effect here. Thanks TMS for truly bringing this to life with your playing! 
All other instruments are played by me on the keyboard - acoustic guitar, bass, organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, 2nd electric guitar (the higher one in verse 2), horns, drums & percussion, words and voice. The chorus is supposed to sound like a 60's soul song, like Marvin Gaye meets Van Morrison. 
If you play this more than once I'm sorry but I'm afraid you'll be stuck with it in your head all day.  :)

This one's a personal one for me, so thanks for listening, and for picking us up with your music!

LYRICS: 

Verse 1
alone in the corner, that old six string whispers to me
ah but when daddy played, he could set your spirit free 
like the drops in the rain, or a forest tall and green
there's music alive all around
and mamma she told me, you must listen for more than the sound
and hear with your heart

Chorus     
(And then she’d) 
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up,  
pick me up higher, pick me up higher, pick me up higher
pick me up, lift me up, build me up, 
pick me up higher 

Verse 2
Now I’m writing my own song… makin’ music with old friends and new
But the joy of my days, are my beautiful daughter and you
And when you play that song, she would close her eyes and sway
all the while as she sings
And man when I hear her, whispered memories they lift me up still
like a bird on the wind

Chorus

Pick Me Up (with TexMex Shaman)

Another Banger with these guys. Dynamo and Poet did their thing on this one! So happy with the way this track came out, all three of our verses complimented each other so well. This song has a different vibe, I think people are really gonna enjoy this track! Keep your head up, keep heart up and boogie on!

Strange World ft. Dynamo-P & U.Poet

Something loose and fun to end the week.
A Howlin' Wolf style song.
Hey, in my mind, I'm a great dancer!!!

Lyrics:
We're rug cutting up a little on the dance floor
A little boot scuffin' on the rug (yes we do)
Sashay, into a little parlay with my girl
Bend, dip, twist, and twirl

I took my girl out for a dance on Friday night
And when the band kicked in, she said:
Something just doesn't seem right
I seem to dance on the 1s and the 3s (don't you see?)
High stepping, (yeah!) finger popping, that's what I do
You know when I work real hard
I really bust my moves

Yeah, I was busting my move
and she said to me
"Yeah, there's something wrong boo"
"cause you misaligned the groove'
Misaligned the groove
And that just goes to prove
Alcohol's the only thing that makes my dance moves improve

Rug cutting out on that dance floor
It's my St Louis Charleston flyover turnaround dance
Well, that's not your mother's mambo baby
Boot cutting, stripping down, turn your partner round
Bring em back around

Oh my girl, she calls me "Mr Slinky Bones"
Cause when I dance, I get real long and low
Real long and low
Mr Slinky Bones
She says: You dance like you think that you're  invisible
She calls  me
Mr Slinky Bones
I'm like a dog with 3 legs
Chasing his tail
I'm Mr Slinky Bones

Mr Slinky Bones

Minimal techno at 112 BPM with a steady, dry 4/4 kick, subtle sub-bass, crisp hi-hats, and tight percussive loops, The oud plays repetitive, plucked phrases with natural resonance and slight microtonal inflections, blending organically with the groove, No melodic lead, just evolving textures and rhythmic interplay between electronic elements and the oud, Sparse delays and reverb, used tastefully to keep the atmosphere minimal and focused, No vocals, no cinematic or industrial elements — pure stripped-back groove with a touch of traditional warmth.

The song is simply about leaving everything behind and getting on the next plane. Little text with maximum feeling.

Night Flight

Breathe

¡¡ Warning: very old track with very LO-FI sound !!

Stop the world and try this little prog rock piece, starting slowly up to a fierce gallop.

Os invito a parar el mundo un momento y dejaros llevar por esta pequeña pieza de rock progresivo: primero suave, luego al paso, al trote, ¡¡hasta un galope feroz!!, echar a volar... y aterrizar suavemente. (26-27 de diciembre de 1993).

Lyrics/Letra:

Eres la imagen bruja que nunca pude ver,
eres el mundo extraño que nunca exploré.

Eres la única chica que me hizo temer,
eres la misma chica que me paró los pies.

Pero sé que esta noche, algo cambiará esta noche...
Pero sé que esta noche, algo cambiará esta noche...
Lo sé........... lo sé...........

Eres la chica más bonita de mi cuento, 
nunca pensé que me ataría tanto a ti.
Tan sólo quiero que te muevas a mi lado, 
y quiero que me pidas más... más... más... ¡ más !

Tan sólo quiero conseguirte... 
Sólo enseñarte cómo es y dónde duele...
Quiero moverte hasta que todo el sexo duerma...
y quiero que me pidas más....... ¡ más !

Eres la imagen bruja que nunca encontré.

Imagen bruja (Quiero que pidas más)

The current music scene is great because of the places where music is made and the experiments that are repeated by each personality. For individual creators, it is much more valuable to have an environment where they can come into contact with a large number of personalities than to be spread.

No matter how many times I propose, her answer is no! (263)
