Gemini - Dancing Clouds

   Cada día paso más tiempo disfrutando de mis guitarras, pero también paso más tiempo secuenciando sintes y demás. Es increíble lo complicado que puede llegar a ser, el hacer que una melodía que tarareada suena bien, también lo haga junto a bajo, percusión, cuerdas...

   
   Thomas Slinger, conocido por su signo zodiacal Gemini, es un compositor, productor, vocalista y DJ británico ante el que me quito el cráneo.
   Su último trabajo hasta la fecha tras un silencio de cuatro años y de hecho su primer LP -Wanderlust- es una gozada y un libro de texto para aquellos que nos empeñamos en pasar horas ante nuestros DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).

 
  Gemini
 
  Maybe it's true what they say
The future's based on yesterday
But we're all gathering now
We're living in the fear of how
 
All of these questions are strange
Which of us will make a change
Which of us will change the world
I've never felt this young before
 
So when I open my eyes
I see the journey begin
From the land to the skies
I'm running free like the wind
And even though I don't know
What tomorrow may bring
I believe that you and I
Will be dancing clouds forever
 
All of these paper dreams
And everything they wanted to be
The lights are a long way off
When leaving here was just a thought
 
And now the stories are told
We still choose the paths to unfold
And the smallest things in the world
They will keep on rising up
and we'll watch them as they grow
 
So when I open my eyes
I see the journey begin
From the land to the skies
I'm running free like the wind
And even though I don't know
What tomorrow may bring
I believe that you and I
Will be dancing clouds forever

Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer

   Bueno. Se acabó el verano y con el otoño cada mochuelo a su olivo. Te dejo con todo un clásico del disco Building the Perfect Beast de 1984.
   ¡Ya ye agüerroooooo! -¡Ya es otoñooooo!

Outlaws - There Goes Another Love Song

   Este disco me trae muy buenos recuerdos. Corría el año 1975 y había que rebobinar la primera canción de esta cinta usando un boli 'bic' so pena de quedarte rápidamente sin pilas...

Big Big Train - Folklore

   Un grupo británico que cuenta ya con una larga trayectoria y unos cuantos discos. La voz recuerda a Peter Gabriel y el resto... bueno, el resto descúbrelo tú.

Adam Young - Corduroy Road

   Long have I been fascinated by the American Civil War and the men who fought in it. I love imagining the era, the clothing, the technology and the old-fashioned blood, sweat and tears of days gone by. One of my favorite stories is of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman and his famous march to the sea. Sherman received recognition for his outstanding command of military strategy as well as criticism for the harshness of his scorched earth policy in conducting total war against the Confederate States. 62,000 men marched toward Savannah, Georgia, living off the land and destroying everything in their path. A corduroy road is a type of road made by placing sand-covered logs perpendicular to the direction of the road resulting in an improvement over impassable terrain. These makeshift roads were used extensively in Sherman’s campaign. Not long after Sherman captured Columbia, South Carolina, Lee surrendered and the war was over. Thus, this is my musical interpretation of the final march of the Civil War.
