I like to move around a bit, I have a definite style but I'm interested in a broad musical landscape. So that's why you'll find all kinds of different types of songs here. I'd like to share it with you. I mix everything with everything ..till it becomes my recipe for a song I 'd like to hear. I'd like to keep it fresh and exciting so I try to come up with some fancy licks and tricks or a nice arrangement or some freaky chords lyrics & and grooves. Doesn't have to be complicated, I try to keep it simple , but always with a twist. That makes you going (I hope) My music is that it truly crosses over a variety of playing styles. There is always a rocking familiarity to the tunes that makes you get up and move. But the little tid-bits buried in the layers sneak out and say wow!
Sugar Spun Solitude
For now this is my last upload this summer , because I’m taking a month of duty. Enjoying my Holliday .. I’ll be back in September with a fresh batch of songs and adventures and more rock and roll …
A heavy feel good shuffle… in hindsight it reminds me of Albatros by Fleetwood Mac, especially after adding the solo track..
Anyway the theme is about a man withstanding being tangled up in a web of tainted love.. Like a tarantula female spider praying on the male.. sugar spun … cocoon of solitude , will be the best defense I guess ..

There is something about you
You’re specialized in games
Something strange allowed you
To keep messing with my brain
Many things have been written
Falling out of range
Words of warning hidden
‘bout your spells and iron chains
What can a man do
When he falls in love
Reason’s down the drain,
When he’s acting tough
withstand being all tangled up
In a web of tainted love
Sugar spun solitude
Sugar I’d like to tell you
That I can’t be framed
Your mines and traps wont ruin
I’ve went through all these pains
I sing for the unforgiven
For the dead flowers in the rain
No wedding bell vows given
A bleeding heart with punctured veins
What can a man do
When he falls in love
Reason’s down the drain,
When he had enough
withstand being all tangled up
In a web of tainted love
Of Sugar Spun Solitude
Solo
a web of tainted love
being all tangled up
In this mood of

Simple Minds are a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1977. They have released a string of hit singles, becoming best known internationally for "Don't You (Forget About Me)" (1985), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. Jack Allen made an excellent backing track ua-cam.com/video/ZeHbtn_rEQY/v-deo.html which I used to lay down my vocals. And you may ask me why? well the s...

What happens in a Great Depression, like in the 30 ies.. dustbowl & Stockmarket crash . Will people lose their religion and welcome the unholy..desperate times..or opposite? A song in low D tuning (also bass) with tremolo reverb electric and clean acoustics (panned) There’s a lot of dynamics going on to create a feel of a sandstorm rising , appending doom.

3 chords can do so much and tell a lot , so here we are with the Am F and G . To get a kind of All along the Watchtower Tower type of song. I wanted To create something poetic about a communication breakdown in a relationship with a Dire Straits vibe letting the Stratocaster talk its way through. This all came about when I was told in a professional setting that I was an another planet and coul...

Inspired by "Russian Spy & I" from the Hunters and "the Sabre Dance" by Dave Edmunds , I got this one together myself... Mind you I had the lyrics first written down after a midnight poem session but hadn't a song to sync with until I was jamming, things fell together nicely .. The other day I was scrolling down family scrapbooks and was wondering who all these people were, who's blood is runni...

If you like uptempo songs..this is the one.. 220 bpm... try to jive to this . I produced it in a 50 ies rock and roll style.. but made several attempts to get it right.. previous mixes had too much bass. watching the wave patterns in audacity ..there was no headspace.. meaning too compressed , and you can hear that too .. a lot of pressure on the ears... we want to keep those intact for a while...

Its margarita beach time... the summer's coming... well I got this chord sequence and it got me drawn to a kind of latin vibe . I did a couple of takes to get 5 lead lines... I think I'm going to upload a II version later on also because there are lots of creative solo guitar ideas to welcome a relaxed mood..I hope you'll enjoy.. Production wise there's a lot of low bass and a raunchy rhythm gu...

A song about being a misfit , doing your dance but no one notices.. a stranger in a strange crowd reduced to eyes waiting for magic and connection.. I discovered that Billy Idol has a song with the same title (it's on the 1983 Rebel Yell album) referring to the 1960 horror movie " Les Yeux sans visage" directed by Georges Franju . Thats why I got some haunting pictures included ... well the lyr...

A little poem about a gypsy Wandering looking for connection Once you realize you’ve never known Her soul ,being a velvet stranger , Burning memories you wonder who you’ve met.

@@anageorgemusic hi Ana! Thanks for the kind words ! I like to write poetry , cinematography style and use them for songlyrics … so metaphors.. yes they work in an excellent way because you don’t need to explain a lot , just creation the vision .. I’m glad it all resonates with you or even better within you …
Love the grit and reverb of your stellar dirty blues, brother!!! 💪😼🐶🐶🤡🔥🔥🔥🔥
Blues has to be gritty and dirty ,, clean blues ? What’s that ? So I’m pleased you like the soundscapes and vibes … thanx !
