No Ego

lyrics:

if you only knew
i'm not feeling blue
what a surprise
once in a blue moon

run away from you
to ease up all the wounds
right here behind the moon and its monochrome dunes

away from
drumming, drumming in my head
causing migrains
and blushing, blushing
crushing my veins
such a deadly stress

i'm gonna hide behind the moon
i'll sparkle at you
hey you
looking from up here, you're not a big deal
and i'm healed, baby
i'm healed

distant and immune
they should have taught me that at school
flying cocoon 
no one alters my mood

away from
drumming, drumming in my head
causing migrains
and blushing, blushing
crushing my veins
such a deadly stress

i'm gonna hide behind the moon
i'll sparkle at you
hey you
looking from up here, you're not a big deal
and i'm healed, baby
i'm healed

Moon (demo)

boy i was crying then hap hap happpppyyyy

1984. What... More Richard Burton..??

The beats strike 13...

"Tell me, Winston..."

What are your true feelings?

This song is dedicated to my Great Grandfather David Pentland, who was a miner in a little mining village called Rosewell in the Pentland hills just outside of Edinburgh. It was an incredibly hard existence for the men,women and animals that worked there, and also for the families anxiously waiting for them to surface each day.

My huge thanks to Martin for his brilliant work on this! A beautiful, true interpretation that lifts the song to new heights!

Your Lot (Wou-Wou & The Worming Open Collab)

Some Action

Armadillo

Another perspective of the Victor Frankenstein story which fascinated me as a child and still as an 'adult'.

Driven by relentless vision
Fuelled by spade and knife
Beating down man's old enemy
Creating new life

I shook off the trailing weeds of my horror
Realisation dawned
I looked,in fear for my own sanity
At what I had spawned

No matter what we think we know
There are places we shouldn't go
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
And we reap what we sow

When lightening struck and the creature lived
I imagined I had won
But only just a short time later
All had come undone

No matter what we think we know
There are places we shouldn't go
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
And we reap what we sow

Vocals & Arrangement of Lyrics: Jimmy Rivas ( @j-rivas )
Backing Music & Production: Hiroshi Kohno

This is the second collaboration with Jimmy.
I’d like to thank him again for his wonderful contribution to this song.
I had much fun working with him.
Please visit his page for more amazing works by him!

--------
The song was originally performed and recorded by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label (released in 1967)- written by Norman Whitfield, Edward Holland Jr. and by Cornelius Grant in 1966 / produced by Norman Whitfield. And many cover versions have been recorded since then (by Rare Earth, The Undisputed Truth, The Faces/ Rod Stewart...and by Richie Kotzen).

As a guitarist, I've loved the Richie Kotzen's blues rock version the most among those covers(as well as the Faces' live version for BBC, as a drummer) and that's one of what I've most often played with my band during past two decades. While, there are so many different live versions of Richie's with his different improvised phrases and I've played own improvisation, too. This time, I made the backing music basically following Richie’s studio version (released in 1998 on his album “What Is...”) while adding some minor arrangements by me, and Jimmy sang his own version of the vocals onto it, which I appreciated very much. 

I hope you enjoy. Any feedback would be appreciated.

(I Know) I'm Losing You - Jimmy Rivas & Hiroshi Kohno

I caught the morning light
on shades of silver grey
I heard my breath too tight
Bird song bids good day
We're on our way...

We see through the same skies
For now there'll be no rain
The sun will kiss the tides
And wash our souls away

And we hold on
until they play
They play our song
And start again

Love give unto yourself
Love give unto yourself
(Birdsong, play on, we lay in the sun)

I caught the morning light
Before the shadows came
It shimmered in my eyes
And saw me on my way
(we're on our way)

I caught the morning light

君と歩いた　街角に　出た 
フランス　帰りの　おばさんの写真館 
時間を　かけて　撮ってくれた 
証明写真は　今も　持ってる

寄り添うことばかりで　過ぎていった 
寄り添い方ばかり　気にしながら 
ありがたい景色を　見ておくための日々 
やりすごすだけ　見えてなかったな　何も

別の言葉に　潜ませてしまった 
醜いこころは　出ていってくれない 
うらむ資格など　砂粒ほどもない 
証明写真は　今も　持ってる

君のこころに　つかえがあるなら 
本意ではないと　伝えたい　すぐに 
君がとっくに　忘れているなら 
邪魔したく ない　なによりの　忘却

なんでもない　街角に　出た 
フランス　帰りの　おばさんの写真館 
あの日の約束みたいに　消えてしまったな 
証明写真は　今も　持ってる

FOOLS IN LOVE

i am not proud
sometimes 
my feelings are too loud
for myself

...and for you too
my darling

nobody is proud now
we all are fools
in love

FOOLS IN LOVE

My Boyfriend

I heard the news
Today
I've found my place
Fool flounders
Far away
Far away (too safe)

I learned to look
the other way
Life lets down
like the pouring rain
Far away
Far away (to save)

I got used to you
I got nothing else to lose

I'm not sad but lonely
Now you're gone
More trouble came my way
But I stay strong

Got no
place to go
Just a heart that barely beats

God knows
Here I go
With a heart I 
got to keep.
