Perfect Blue // Event 49 feat joerxworx // EWI

"Backfire" is a song about false friends and wishing that their toxic shoots fire back at them. However, your wish stays a wish, because your pride and dignity keeps you from causing harm. 
Lemonbrew started the collaboration with a catchy and energetic rock progression. I rearranged the song and wrote lyrics and a vocal melody. Later, Flinn joined us to rock out the vocals. Thank you very much for collaborating, it's been a lot of fun!

==== LYRICS ====

You wasted my precious time
on spreading rumours and lies
Shooting me in  a drive-by
drawing me into riptide

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey,
I wanna... 

Watch how burn your fingers and...
build a castle on quicksand
or wade through wasted land
(Of course I wanna...)

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

So I light up a light
To escape from the twilight
Not ready for the limelight
Not ready to start a fight

I'll catch this ricochet
I gonna... misbehave and disobey!

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you make me do!

One day, I gonna be tough
give way for vengeance and grudge
I'll push you into the sludge
Where there is noone to judge

And I wanna... 

Catch a ball and I fire it back to you!
Catch you out and I fire it back to you!
Catch hell and I fire it back 
And again and again and again 
That's what you make me do!

That's what you made me do!

Backfire

Paul created this amazing  backing track with his skills on the drums, bass and guitar.
I felt a battle/marching mood which resulted in the melodies and effects to create this battle Atmos[phere.
Thank you Paul for this opportunity to collaborate with you.

Here is another track making heavy use of my favorite synth, the Minilogue XD

As Far as the Eye Can See

Hello again dear Listeners.  

Bless your soul for continuing to Let Go and Listen to our raw but heartfelt Improvisational musical conversations.  Tim and i thank you for your kindness, comments and reposts.

How we do it, we have no idea other than a lifetime of playing and celebrating 'the Music'... wherever and whenever it arises!  But one thing's for sure... better to creatively engage with the Winds of Change than to try to ignore them. ;))

This recording Session in 'The Living Room' happened on October 6th 2023, and we were delighted to get together again and see where our Muses took us. And again, our trusty ZOOM Stereo Mic caught it all.

And yes! The Autumn winds are roving the lands in the Northern Hemisphere of this awesome planet, and they never fail to Inspire and stir up ancestral memories of the long ago... and what's happening in the Present Moment! 

Tim reached for his Fender Telecaster once again, and i reached for my Kawai ES7 Stage Piano to express what we felt, and we hope that you'll both Resonate with, and enJoy the outcome of our efforts, at least as much we did.

Dancing With The Winds of Change *

DATA RUN is a modern Amiga demo–inspired instrumental built on bright square-wave arpeggios, glitching guitar textures, and fast-paced drums. It boots like a 16-bit arcade and morphs into a punchy band/electronic hybrid while the chip motif keeps driving. Instrumental.

Tomorrow will be a better day
A brighter day
Your sorrows will melt away

Together we will stand
Hand in hand
Looking towards our better days

I am retired and have taken up music again (after 60 years since I last played the classical piano)for my pleasure. It is great to redo the old classics with the modern sounds and electronic instruments of today. I  
   Also Like making my own instrumental tracks with my 
Presonus studio 4 software, a size midi keyboard and the Kross workstation Keyboard.
I am so grateful for the support, encouragement and feedback from the  sound cloud community.
What an awesome experience and way to bring music to the world together with likeminded friends-thank you all.
