A friend of mine, a drummer named Don Landry, put this together and I just added voices. He didn't ask me to but he said he likes what I did. Also, I gave it a different title.
Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
One night this lady, unbeknownst to me, on the verge of suicide, asked me to write a happy song for her. Instead of killing herself, she left her husband. Now she's married to someone else and is acting very happy, herself.
UPDATE: She killed…
First song of 2011 . . .
LYRICS:
She has a disease
Never learned to please anyone
else other than herself
Fuck the world and give em hell
She's down on her knees
Swaying in the breeze and when she
leans that way I go along
Bending…
Everyone has had one of those special nights . . .
(The strings are not a sample.)
UPDATED AUDIO 1-20-12
LYRICS:
Sneak out and slip into the night
Shotgun we're going for a ride
Forget your curfew
Everything will be all right…
HAPPY
Everybody asks me why I'm so happy
They will get the message when they see your face...

Buddy Holly's music has been very central to my life.
Sometimes I try to write a Buddy Holly song.
A Track recorded at Studio #20 in 1997 on an ADAT machine in the early hours of the morning. Now, for the first time, seeing the light of day once again!

This track is from the 1986 Scartaglen album "The Middle Path". The first tune "Jezaig" was composed by Breton musician Gilles Le Bigot. The second tune is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" and is attributed to King Alfonso X of Spain

I really REALLY like this . . . . I really dig the hard sound. This rocks . . . very Beatleseque in a good way.
Surprised I never checked out your stuff before now.
Steady, hold your heading
The landing strip's in sight
Keep your wits about you
Hold your values tight
Storms gather in the distance
Crosswinds on the ground
Freedom on the glide path
Will always get you down
FREEDOM! There's nothing more important…

This is just plain terrifying! Musical imagery of truly epic proportion. I imagine they are hearing this in night skies over Libya tonight. Perhaps they'll stop murdering their citizens.
Reg's little homage to Elizabeth Taylor who passed away today, the piano is a little dodgy and the lyrics and the singing in parts as i'm following my dodgy playing, it will have to be revisited but i thought i'd share anyway as i would forget…

People are dying every day in the street
People are dying every day
People are dying every day in the street
Just for being people in the street
Peace, when's it coming, coming for the people in the street
Peace, you can sing it
Sing it for the…
I actually composed this entire song in a piece of guitar tab software called Guitar Pro. Then I exported it to MIDI, imported it into Reaper, and assigned better sounding VST instruments to each track. The purpose behind it was to see if someone…

Crossing Guns and Roses and The Beatles...great mix and harmonies. Like the elongated beat.

Well, what can I say. This is happy. Nice one! You can rock it too!
I like the chord choice as well.
Where is this Rose, and where can I meet her?
More polychords make their appearance . .. you're a sneaky composer, almost like Ralph Vaughn Williams meets Isaac Albeniz, if that makes sense.
